LTBA’s mission is to spark curiosity and challenge the status quo while teaching and inspiring their community to build sustainable careers as independent creators from a holistic perspective. The LTBA Podcast features exclusive interviews from successful independent artists, songwriters, entrepreneurs, actors, film makers, executives, and thought leaders about their unique journeys as self made industry professionals. From politics to health to relationships, the Let There Be Art podcast provides commentary on a wide range of topics because EVERYTHING is a reflection of art. Art reflects society and society imitates art, so both need to be evaluated. Art is life!

Devin Mykel is a producer, musical director, multi-instrumentalist, and composer who has worked with artists such as Rihanna, Lizzo, and Stevie Wonder. Viewed over 150 million times, Jade Novah is an NAACP Image Award nominated singer, songwriter, and actress who has been featured on The Simpsons, That’s My Jam, and The Savage x Fenty Show.

(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.

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!

From sharing a couch with a then-unknown Matthew A. Cherry (author of Hair Love) to manifesting partnerships with Oprah and book deals with HarperCollins, Steve breaks down the real journey of building legacy through purpose, authenticity, and service.

We dive deep into conversations about how Hollywood Confidential was born out of service to struggling Black and Brown creatives, why authenticity isn’t just a buzzword, it’s the blueprint (shoutout to Tabitha Brown), the power of manifestation, vision boards, and speaking life, and much more!

Whether you’re a multi-hyphenate artist, an aspiring creative, or just someone searching for purpose, this episode is full of wisdom, warmth, and thought provoking conversations.
