R&B artist Sonny Miles and a full band take us on a soulful journey to the stars.
Gospel, soul, jazz, R&B and hip-hop—there isn’t much that lives outside the musical universe of Winston-Salem native Sonny Miles. In 2019, one of his musical collaborations caught the ear of President Barack Obama, who included the song on his popular playlist. In this episode, Sonny discusses Afrofuturism, being inspired by the sounds of his Nana’s house and what it’s like to be “in the pocket.”
