(portaltaxi.net/music) – I’m always running into people that inspire me…..some more than others…….When I sat down with a group out of Atlanta by the name of IDK….it was more than just an inspiration, it was an encouragement. I know you’re probably wondering what I mean by that….Let me explain!
In the world that we live, youth is often what everyone is searching for. I’m not saying that I want to be in my 20s again but sometimes I feel like I don’t have the same fire I had when I was in my 20s.
Speaking with IDK reminded me of that fire, because as they spoke, I could see it in them….as I sat there speaking to them, I remember asking myself, “Do you still have that fire that they have?”. As I sat there, my mind rushed to many different places and I just remember smiling in my heart and I started to feel that fire’s flame brighten.
Thank you IDK for adding a little coal to the fire!

Music Video: Gospel Singer Quan Howell on When We Speak!
(portaltaxi.net/music) – There are many people that have influenced my life and have encouraged me throughout the years, through the art of music. Among those are people like India Arie, Lashun Pace, Anthony Hamilton, Monica, Sounds of Blackness, and The Pace Sisters. (Like I said that’s just a few names). I can even tell you the songs that have had the most impact on my life by each of these artists:
India Arie– There’s Hope and Beautiful
Lashun Pace– Just Because God Said It, For My Good, and We Worship You
Anthony Hamilton– Pass Me Over
Sounds of Blackness – Hold On (Change is Coming)
The Pace Sisters– God’s World , When God is in the Building, and His Spirit is in This Place
Among the list of artists, I never thought I would ever get a chance to meet any of these artist but I believe that when people have empowered you, you should let them know. Who would have thought that I would get a chance to meet the leader of one of these songs…….
Recently, I had a chance to sit down with Quan Howell, who led the song Hold On (Change is Coming) by the Sounds of Blackness. I can’t begin to tell you how great it felt to speak to someone that had empowered so much Life into my life. So when the opportunity allowed me a chance to interview him, I JUMP ALL OVER IT!
Not only was Quan a member of the Sounds of Blackness but he also played Reverend Lewis in the Tyler Perry play Madea’s Family Reunion.
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed conducting it!
