Independent icon MAJOR. (singer, actor, storyteller) joins Devin Mykel for a candid, hope-filled conversation about building a sustainable creative life. We cover the wins, the wounds, and the work it takes to keep going as an indie.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• The truth about accolades vs. impact (Jay-Z’s Grammy remarks, indie perspective, and why showing up still matters).
• Why hope is a strategy, and how MAJOR. “hope-deals” through art, service, and daily practice.
• The origin story of platinum wedding classic “Why I Love You” and how it became a celebration of Black love and love for all

And so much more!

If you’re an independent creative, this episode is your reminder to speak it, build it, and keep showing up—because the best thing might happen.

From wedding gigs to co-writing Ariana Grande’s “positions,” artist Sherie shares the real independent grind, faith, strategy, and finding your tribe.

In this episode of the Let There Be Art Podcast, we unpack how a single “come through, I need strings” moment snowballed into a career-shifting songwriting/publishing deal, European tour opportunities, and a blueprint for sustainable, independent success.

Sherie (singer/violinist/songwriter) breaks down:

• The Ariana Grande hit “positions” origin story — getting thrown into a writing camp…
• Independence by choice — why staying indie (for now) means creative control, the right deal on the right terms, and releasing music without gatekeepers.
• Partnership that works — knowing when to lead vs. support in a creative marriage (shoutout to the “play the tambourine” rule), touring together, and lifting each other up..

And much much more!
