In this soulful episode of The Soulful Soundtrack, I sit down with Jesse Cale — a multi-talented artist, poet, composer, and sound bath pioneer whose work spans hip-hop gold records, international poetry tours, and hosting the world’s largest sound bath with over 900 people.

We dive into the powerful intersection of music, healing, and community. Jesse shares his journey from growing up in a strict Christian household—where synths became his secret language of freedom—to how music helped him get sober, shed 50 pounds, and discover his true purpose.

Along the way, we explore his unique blend of sound design and woodwind magic, and yes, there’s a surprising shoutout to Justin Bieber’s role in his transformation. Plus, get ready for a mini sonic nostalgia party featuring Madonna, Joy Electric, and a sprinkle of Sigur Rós.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and let sound move through you — a soulful journey you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of Soulful Soundtrack of Life, Dayna sits down with music-world royalty, Mike Walter—a passionate DJ, MC, Owner of Jersey based- Elite Entertainment, Prince superfan, and author of On This Date in Music—for a heartfelt exploration of the songs that carried him through joyful times, heartbreak, and everything in between.

Mike opens up about how music has been his emotional anchor during life’s hardest chapters—from divorce to post-pandemic burnout—and how certain songs became lifelines. He shares vivid memories of childhood jams, NYC club moments, and the experiences of seeing Prince live 37 times (yes, 37!).

They also chat on why “overplayed” songs still matter on the dancefloor, discovering new artists like Jake Wesley Rogers, and the story behind his pick for ultimate “soundtrack of life” song.

Whether you're a music lover, a DJ, or someone who’s ever leaned on a song to get through, this episode will have you nodding along, dancing in your seat, and maybe even shedding a tear.

🎧 Press play and get ready to feel all the feels.

This one’s a warm hug for your heart. In this episode, Dayna Sol sits down with the radiant Lucretia Williams — a multi-talented industry expert, breast cancer survivor, and soulful storyteller—for a conversation that glows like a summer drive with the windows down.

From childhood memories cruising to “Golden Time of Day” by Maze, to Mary J. Blige anthems echoing through her walks to and from the classroom at OSU, to the powerful moment the song “Grateful” held her up through a breast cancer diagnosis—Lucretia takes us on a journey through music, memory, and meaning.

This is more than a playlist—it’s a portrait of resilience, joy, and finding gratitude in the tiniest daily wins (yes, even the perfect coffee flavor).

Hit play for an uplifting conversation filled with laughter, legacy, and the power of a good tune at just the right time.
