      <title>On the Sofa with Esther is Capri and Dre</title>
      <description>Joining me 'On the Sofa with Esther' is Capri Compton and Dre infinite with their powerfully dynamic single Madam Butterfly, a world where Opera meets HipHop. On today's show both share their love and passion of merging two very different genres to create a wonderful masterpiece.
Capri studied Opera at a young age and showcased her talent with world-renowned opera companies such as “The Los Angeles Music Center Opera” and “The Tri-Cities Opera” in New York. Her career includes several solo performances for major motion picture and television shows at iconic studios, such as Warner Bros. Some of her credits include Beetlejuice, The Batman movies, and the role of the “Opera Singer” in the Sundance Film Festival-winning movie “Suture” directed by Steven Soderbergh. Capri’s first single from her HipHopera album, where she collaborates with a rapper and sings Opera Arias, is being released on Enthrone Records Ent. Her love for opera and wanting to find a way to share the beauty of the music with mainstream audiences lead her to create the Hip Hop Opera music.
Capri has partnered with Dre Infinite, who was influenced by Rap Culture in London Beach, California. He was a sound engineer and record producer. Over the years Dre Infinite has produced over 1000 tracks for independent artists.

      <title>On the Sofa with Esther - Shelly Clark from Honey Cone</title>
      <description>On the Sofa with Esther is Shelly Clark talking about their upcoming tour.
Celebrating 55 years as the pioneering, influential and legendary 1960’s and 70’s American R&amp;B/Soul Girl Group HONEY CONE who were recently inducted into the Soul Music Hall of Fame, we would love to set up an interview with you and founding member Shelly Clark as they reunite to embark on a new U.S. tour.
The iconic group formed by Shelly Clark, Edna Wright, and Carolyn Willis in 1968 were the premier female group for Hot Wax Records, operated by the famed writing team Holland–Dozier–Holland. This trio wrote, arranged and produced the songs that helped define the Motown sound in the 1960s, and Honey Cone was the first band they signed and produced after they departed from Motown in the 1968.

      <description>On Wednesday 18th August 2021, all roads led to the the Odeon Luxe and Dine in Islington, as members of the Press congregated to celebrate the launch of Marshayne's latest single 'I Kneel for You' (formerly known as Wayne 'G-Spot' Marshall). Another sassy, sexy track of pure sexual indulgence that could make anyone grow weak at the knees and which also came with a titillating video, full of niceness and naughtiness, taking us back to those moments and memories of Marshayene's 90's timeless tune 'G-Spot' and what this man truly stood for. Sex. Touch. Intimacy and lots of Lurving.......
I managed to grab 5 minutes with Wayne to talk about his latest single and a little more.........

      <title>On the Sofa with Esther - Jon Batiste</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onthesofawithesther/episodes/On-the-Sofa-with-Esther-is-Jon-Batiste-es0red</link>
      <description>Esther talks to Jon about his upcoming album 'We Are' to be released on 19th March. Jon and his band are performing live at The Brooklyn Bowl on March 11th. Jon is an American musician, bandleader, and television personality. 
'We Are' is an eclectic mix of a compilation of various genres of song and music, along with Jon's deeply rich, melodic voice of consciousness - as he ranges from the sounds of gospel through to pop, infused with a touch of soul. 
This interview provides an insight into an incredibly deep man whose has been used as a vehicle to create music of hope and joy with messages to support us all in standing in that place of contemplation and reflection in order to birth something different, new and even better within our lives, especially during the times we are in. His track 'I Need You' is cheerful, playful and fun-filled - one of optimism and longing for better days, subtly and enticingly asking us all to find fun in the moments of the music, to let our souls ride with the rhythm of the beat and our feet to tap out those tunes.
SOUL is on Digital from 23rd March and on Blu-Ray™ and DVD from 29th March

      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onthesofawithesther/episodes/On-the-Sofa-with-Esther-is-John-The-Bossman-Hall-er6ati</link>
      <description>John 'The Bossman' Hall joins me on the sofa with an eclectic story of his life in the entertainment industry and all the amazing artists and legends he has worked and performed with.
 
 John 'The Bossman' Hall is from Philadelphia and is a performer, singer, dancer and actor who has had an eclectic career in the entertainment industry. He comes from a family of entertainers. He is an incredibly talented, driven and focussed individual, always one for pushing forwards towards bigger and greater heights.
I have watched John conduct a James Brown performance and he is incredible. John also once toured with James Brown and he also met Michael Jackson as well as produced a single for Michael Jackson called 'Let's Do The Michael Jackson' by The Broadway Thrillers. That was the first song John did in 1984. 
John was also a member of Philly Cream who sang on 'Love Can't turn around' by Philly Cream and his new song by Fyrestorm is called 'I'm The Bossman'
John has also recently starred in a film called Erie Planet Live.

      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onthesofawithesther/episodes/On-the-Sofa-with-Esther---The-Three-Degrees-eqg8bv</link>
      <description>Esther interviews The Three Degrees, Valerie Holiday, Helen Scott and Freddie Pool who are a female Philadelphia soul and disco vocal musical group, formed in 1963 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The threesome have retained all three of their major qualities — their beauty, their sparkling choreography and their precise vocal qualities. The Three Degrees have been in the business for over 50 years. 

They are best known for their chart topping hits such as:  "When Will I see you Again" , “Dirty Ol’ Man”, “Take Good Care Of Yourself”.   They shared about their love for music and performing, they shared about the lock down and how it has affected them and they also shared about their latest album STRATEGY - Their tribute to Philadelphia all in between lots of laughter and giggles.   It was an absolute pleasure talking to them.

      <title>Esther's Espirational Message - The Difference Between an Abundance Mindset and a Scarcity Mindset</title>

      <description>Too often our ego drives our attitudes and perceptions. Especially when it comes to fame and status. Being seen.

When we realise that coming from an abundance mindset can get us everything we desire or that which is for us, we realise our worth.  The power of recognising our worth over status is key.  Over the past few weeks I've had to step up my self worth thermometer.  What about you? Is it time to leverage up? Or is it time to learn some lessons about what you're asking for?
