Listen "Culture Keepers: Protecting Our Joy, Style, and Stories"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we’re talking culture, the kind that comes from our communities and changes the world. From slang and style to sound and soul, Black and Brown creatives have always set the standard. But what happens when that culture gets taken, copied, or watered down? Joining me is EL-TRA!N, a 17-year-old R&B/pop artist from St. Louis who’s making waves with smooth vocals, bold choreography, and an unapologetically original sound. He’s opened for Gwen Stefani, headlined his show, and he’s just getting started. We talk about growing up singing in church, mixing old-school influences with a fresh Gen Z vibe, and why protecting our culture is about more than just ownership; it’s about pride. Press play to hear how EL-TRA!N is keeping it real, keeping it soulful, and keeping it OURS.✨ Available now on Spotify, iHeart Radio, Beats District Radio, and wherever you stream.
