In a conversation highlighting creativity and perseverance, R&B artists Jazmine Sullivan and Ravyn Lenae discuss the importance of originality. Sullivan, with 22 years in the industry, shares her journey, emphasizing the courage it takes to embrace one's own voice, despite external pressures to conform. She reflects on key life challenges, including the loss of her mother, which shaped her personal and artistic growth. Lenae praises Sullivan as a significant influence in her own music journey, marking her milestone achievements, like a debut performance at Coachella, underscoring the evolving landscape of originality in music.
