Leave a comment

This month, I’m excited to take a trip down memory lane and share the incredible journey of Where It Begins magazine—a project that has been close to my heart for the past six years. When I first started this magazine, my vision was simple yet profound: to create a platform where people could share their stories and journeys, because I believe that everyone has a testimony worth telling.

One issue that stands out is our 17th edition, featuring the talented Jande’ Pierce on the cover. This issue is particularly special because it embodies the very essence of what Where It Begins is all about: the power of storytelling and the impact of sharing one’s truth. Jande’ not only graced our cover but also shared her music and her message of being the change we want to see in the world. Her story, like so many others we’ve featured, is a reminder that every person has a unique voice and a story that can inspire others.

As I reflect on this journey, I’m filled with gratitude for all the incredible individuals who have opened up their lives to us, allowing Where It Begins to be a vessel for their stories. This issue with Jande’ is a celebration of the resilience, creativity, and courage that lies within each of us. So, if you haven’t already, make sure to check out this edition and experience the inspiring story and music of Jande’ Pierce. Here’s to the power of stories, the beauty of music, and the belief that we can all be the change we wish to see.

Interview with Mekaiel

Q. When did you start singing?

A. I started singing at around 3 and a half, but officially at age 4. I sang on stage with my sister and dad at one of his concerts.

 

Q. How did you get into the industry?

A. For the most part, I took an in depth look at the industry by reading books on it, watching artists that inspired me, and attending workshops. I applied the knowledge I received so that at some point I would make the necessary global impact.

 

Q. Who inspired you?

A. It’s a long list, but I’d say firstly, my dad-Tony Gonzales, Also, Kirk Franklin, Ron Kenoly, John Legend, Ray Charles, Deitrick Haddon, Johnny Cash, and Maxwell inspired me as well.

 

Q. Tell me about your single?

A. In wanting to have no limitation placed on my sound, and being known for my Contemporary releases; the first release for 2019 showcases the worshiper in me that many have seen and experienced in my life performances over the years.

 

The single is entitled “I Choose to Live” and it speaks to the heart of every person that wants greater in all aspects of life and is a reminder that through it all they must speak “Life” into their own lives even when the odds look stacked against them.

 

The new offering was written/produced/ arranged by Lesroy ‘AP’ Byers and co- arranged by Sade Sealey of Audio Predators (out of Antigua), with mixing/ vocal production done by Sherwin Gardner of Flow Master Records and mastered by La Masseria Estudios.

 

Q. What advice can you give others in this industry?

A. To answer that question I’d say this: I watched the Netflix Quincy Jones documentary the other day, and in watching his story, I am reminded of some things that some people might say are cliché. Things such as “Keep going! Keep growing! Continue to educate yourself within the field. Never give up if you’re serious about making this all that you do. Even when you start to collect the nice checks and gain more power, never lose the drive necessary to continue to cause change and be great”!

 

Q. What projects have you been doing in the community?

A. Annually I try to host at least two outreach events in different communities, as well as a lot of food drives and free outdoor music events.

Q. What was the inspiration behind “Blue Sunset” and its title?

A. As you know the song talks about feeling good about who you’re with and giving off positive energy. You might have a messed-up day, and at that moment everything goes out the window, but you can continue to have positive vibes. As for the title, blue is my favorite color. Sunset is like the essence of feeling good.

Q. What projects are you working on?

A. My biggest focus right now is an album. It is called Blue Leisure. I also dropped a new song with Whodini. I’m doing television and movies, and I also have my own company.

Q. Do you think being a music producer that you don’t get the credit you deserve working with so many people?

A. I do now, but at one time I think I had a chip on my shoulder. There was a time when I was doing so much for other people, and I wasn’t getting much love back. Now, the industry is embracing me a lot more. Fanbases are bigger. It shifted and now I am a full artist.

Q. Out of all your projects, what is the best one you worked on in terms of production?

A. Hmmmm……that’s hard. It’s hard to say because I take pride in all my work. One is the Fetty, and Johnnie Record I did with Frank Ocean. I am also proud of the work I did with Whitney Houston. God rest her soul.

Q. When you wrote this song, “We in the Trap” where was your mindset at?

A. I was in the trap meaning the studio that’s my trap. Playing some pool and I started writing.

Q. What or who inspired you to get into entertainment?

A. I had a best friend before I was doing music; she was a great singer: one day we had a block party in our projects in Brown subs, and she took a stray bullet to the head and 2 hours later she passed away. She inspired me so much on how hard she was going with her music that I wrote my first song about her.

Q. What kind of things can you try to remember or implement to keep you from burning out or letting your passion drive you opposed to pushing you backward.

A. Sometimes you want to reach a goal so fast but wonder why you’re not getting it. It’s because you can’t force it, you have to let it happen. I don’t force songs out, timing is everything.

Q. Who is one of your favorite artists that inspired you?

A. Rick Ross and Flo Rida.

Q. Do you think it’s enough pie for all the artists to eat?

A. It’s enough space for everyone to eat. Florida is the next biggest place for music that’s coming out. Kodak Black, Triple X, & Ferrari Fred. We got next, we them Florida boys.
