      <itunes:summary>This week on The Business Savvy Singer Podcast, Dr. Greta Pope sits down with acclaimed baritone Thandolwethu Mamba.

Praised for his “chilling refinement in bearing and voice” (Opera Wire) and extraordinary timbral flexibility, Thando shares his journey as an emerging opera artist navigating both global stages and the realities of building a sustainable career. Fresh off his Metropolitan Opera debut and a series of major roles, competitions, and recitals, he reflects on artistry, resilience, and what it means to claim space in the classical music world.

In this conversation, Thando speaks candidly about his path from Eswatini to U.S. opera houses, the challenges of work authorization delays, the importance of cultural representation, and his commitment to expanding opera’s reach across Africa and beyond. He and Dr. Pope explore how artistic excellence, advocacy, and business savvy intersect, and why long-term vision matters for today’s singers.

This episode is a must-listen for performers seeking inspiration, perspective, and real insight into what it takes to build a meaningful, sustainable career in the arts.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This week on The Business Savvy Singer Podcast, Dr. Greta Pope sits down with the internationally touring band Johnny &amp; the Yooahoos for a conversation about music, momentum, and building a global career while staying true to your sound.

Formed in southern Germany in 2018, Johnny &amp; the Yooahoos have quickly made their mark across Europe, performing at festivals in France, Ireland, Holland, Austria, and Switzerland. Known for their purely acoustic sound—banjo, mandolin, guitar, double bass, and rich three-part harmonies, the band blends traditional bluegrass with contemporary folk in a way that feels both timeless and refreshingly grounded.

In this episode, the band shares what it’s been like to grow from local stages to international recognition, including winning the IBMA International Band Grant and preparing for a five-week U.S. tour in summer 2025, with stops at iconic venues like the Grand Ole Opry and the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival. Together, they discuss navigating the business side of music, touring internationally, and balancing artistic authenticity with professional growth.

Whether you’re an independent artist, a fan of folk and bluegrass, or someone curious about what it takes to build a sustainable music career across borders, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and plenty of heart.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This month on the Business Savvy Singer Podcast, Dr. Greta Pope sits down with Chris “Goldy” Goldschmidt — owner and lead trainer of Goldy’s Fitness. With a private, client-centered approach offered in their studio, in your home, or in your preferred gym, plus expanded support through the Goldy’s Fitness app, Goldy’s team meets clients exactly where they are. Every trainer is NASM-certified and personally trained by Goldy to support both the physical and mental aspects of fitness, ensuring every client feels guided, motivated, and never alone on their wellness journey.

Together, Dr. Greta and Goldy explore why fitness matters for everyone, and especially for performing artists. From breath control and core strength to posture, stamina, and stage presence, artists rely on their bodies for confidence and performance. Fitness can be a powerful asset in protecting vocal health, preventing fatigue, and improving overall endurance.

They also dive into timely topics: maintaining physical and mental wellness through the stress of the holiday season, using movement to boost mood and energy, and reclaiming consistency with routines when motivation dips. Goldy offers accessible suggestions, including simple at-home workouts and mindset shifts that help make progress sustainable, even during busy times.

Tune in to hear Goldy’s inspiring story, learn how investing in your physical well-being can help your mental and physical health throughout the holiday season, and elevate your performance as a singer or musician, and discover how Goldy’s Fitness is transforming what personalized training can look like.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This week on The Business Savvy Singer Podcast, Dr. Greta Pope sits down with Ashley Carter, RD, LDN and Jasmine Westbrooks, M.S., RD, LDN, CDCES from EatWell Exchange. Their organization is dedicated to decreasing health disparities in low-socioeconomic communities while keeping culturally relevant foods on the table. Together, they share practical and inspiring insights on how singers, musicians, and creatives can properly nourish and fuel their bodies for optimal performance and long-term well-being.

Ashley’s passion for wellness began early, as she watched her parents manage type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes. Originally from Miami, she saw firsthand how environment impacts access to health and wellness. Over the past nine years, Ashley has worked as a Nutrition Educator, first as a peer health educator in college and now serving families in lower-income populations. A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, she holds a B.S. in Dietetics with a minor in Religion from Florida State University and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in Dietetics with a concentration in Health Informatics. Her holistic approach integrates mental, physical, and nutritional health, honoring the ways culture, family, and beliefs influence how we eat.

Jasmine works as a Registered Dietitian at a Diabetes Outpatient Facility and takes a realistic, compassionate approach to improving nutrition and quality of life. Her passion for preventive nutrition grew from witnessing how diet-related illnesses affected her own family. She holds a B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and an M.S. in Clinical Nutrition from Rosalind Franklin University. Having served as a Nutrition Educator for the Florida Department of Health for three years, Jasmine saw a critical need for culturally relevant nutrition education within minority communities, an insight that helped inspire EatWell Exchange.

Tune in to hear how Ashley and Jasmine are transforming communities through access, education, and empowerment, and how you, too, can nurture your body while honoring your culture and creativity while on tour or performing.</itunes:summary>

Her diverse background also includes a marketing role at Fernwood Botanical Garden, leveraging her Graphic Design degree. One of her proudest achievements as Director is the elimination of late fees, implemented before larger libraries like those in Chicago, which has made library resources more accessible to the community. Meg encourages patrons to return books promptly so that all community members can enjoy the library’s offerings. She is also a musician with her husband in a punk rock band called the River Rats.  </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This week Dr. Greta Pope sits down with the multi-talented Corky Siegel. Corky Siegel is known internationally as one of the worlds great blues harmonica players, blues pianist, singer and writer of unusual songs, a Chamber Blues progenitor and sole pioneer/composer of award-winning revolutionary works that weave blues and classical forms together.  He celebrates 58 years of performance, a co-founder of the popular Siegel-Schwall Band, and a Chicago Blues Hall of Fame inductee. Corky Siegel has a catalogue of recordings on RCA, Vanguard, Alligator, and million selling blues/classical recordings on the iconic classical label Deutsche Grammophon. At a young age, he learned his craft - personally - at the feet of such legendary first generation bluesmen as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Little Walter, and Otis Spann and all the great blues masters he performed with beginning in 1965. In the earlier days of Chicago blues, he was an essential part in the blues rock revolution, and his surprising and continuing success in bringing together blues and classical audiences (with his symphonic and Chamber Blues recordings and performances) make him a pivotally unique figure in popular music history.  </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This week Dr. Greta Pope sits down with Mick Archer. Classically trained Archer has established a career that encompasses Blues, Jazz, Rock, Celtic, Liturgical, Country and Folk/Americana music as pianist, singer, guitarist, songwriter and band leader. Since beginning his professional career, Mick Archer has performed in many styles and genres throughout metropolitan Chicago (his hometown), across the US, in Japan, Holland, Germany, Ireland, England, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Finland and Norway, bringing his unique combination of playing, singing and entertaining to worldwide audiences. 

Mick has recorded 4 albums of his original material. He has worked as a session player on numerous recording projects and jingles. He has been an opening act for Ray Charles, Jay Leno, The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Styx, Ted Nugent and The Dells. Archer has worked as a sideman with The Drifters, The Platters, Tito Puente, Sugar Blue, Bill Acosta, Milt Trenier and Red Holt. His trio is featured in the Show Time Comedy Special “Don’t Get Me Started” with Joan Rivers. He’s also had a distinguished career as a teacher at The Old Town School of Folk Music, The City Colleges of Chicago and in his own studio in The Fine Arts Building in Chicago’s South Loop.

Currently Archer leads The Blues 88&apos;s, a twin piano-vocal act that specializes in Blues, Hard Bop and Roots Music. A member of The Illinois Library Association, he is active as a presenter of concert-lectures with slide shows on numerous musical topics at libraries in the Greater Chicago Area. A member of The Murphy Roche Irish Music Club and leader of The Chicago Rovers, Mick has delighted audiences for over 20 years with his humorous versions of traditional, contemporary and his own original Celtic music. 

Mick Archer is the quintessential musician. He is actively looking to collaborate with lyricists and singers to continue to create dynamic original music. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This week on The Business Savvy Singer Podcast we continue our focus on Black History Month by sitting down with Mixed Media Artist, Everett Spruill. Everett is a highly acclaimed artist focusing on painting, photography, and printmaking.

Over time Spruill consistently created works using an increasingly complex variation of recycled and repurposed materials focusing on Jazz as a central theme. His first radical shift came in 1995, when he combined the principals of serigraphy and graffiti techniques, using spray paint with hand-cut stencils. From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, Spruill created a large body of work that responded in a general way to his love of stained glass. During this time, the increasing mixture of recycled materials gave way to full three-dimensionality, with sculptural forms derived from discarded electronic parts and wire. Postage Stamps, seashells, and fabric are used to create decorative architectural elements.

His work is featured at Disney World, Orlando’s Amway Center and in other prestigious settings. He is also a singer and harmonica player.</itunes:summary>

Everything from recording your next project to securing good artist management to tour booking to contracts and so much more.

This week’s episode is on patience and persistence, a topic that resonates with anyone pursuing any kind of goal. We set our sights on our objectives, often expecting to achieve those objectives immediately and giving up if we aren’t immediately successful. This is often true of Singers. We want a successful singing career so badly. We work at it for a while and then, because it doesn’t come right away, we become discouraged, feeling that a singing career may not be for us. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Chicago native, Kevin Smith is an American composer, arranger, producer, vocalist and keyboardist who is Chicago-based. He is a current member of the rhythm and blues band known as the Chicago Catz.

Kevin&apos;s musical style is considered eclectic. Having been exposed to so many differing genres and styles, he likes to (when possible) mix it up stylistically. Most of the projects he has worked on are R&amp;B oriented, but he appreciates the sophisticated harmonies of gospel, nice string arrangements and &quot;rocked out&quot; guitars whenever possible. The aspect of music Kevin likes best is the ability to express emotions vocally or instrumentally. He has a background in sound design and likes to employ sound effects as well as music to convey a feeling.

Kevin has arranged and produced music for some of the greats, including Charles Stepney, writer/producer for Earth Wind and Fire. Several episodes ago, we interviewed Charles Stepney&apos;s daughter Eibur Stepney.

Kevin has also been an Arranger for
Nancy Wilson
Peabo Bryson
Ashford and Simpson
Chuck Mangione
...and others</itunes:summary>

It&apos;s a sound that&apos;s taken the songwriter from the college apartment where he strummed his first chords to venues beyond the Midwest, sharing shows with personal heroes like Kris Kristofferson and Chris Knight along the way. With his debut LP, The Good &amp; The Crooked (&amp; The High &amp; The Horny), Stamm begins building his own legacy, leading his band of road warriors through an album rooted in all-American storytelling and guitar-driven swagger.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This week Greta sits down with legendary voice artist, Tim Dadabo.

Tim Dadabo is an American voice actor, who uses his talents in video games, commercials, cartoons, narration as well as station promo. He has contributed to Leisure Suit Larry and Red Faction since his career began in 1989, but by far his biggest contribution to the gaming world is as the voice of 343 Guilty Spark.

Dadabo voiced Spark in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo: Combat Evolved for PC, as well as Halo 2 and Halo 3. In addition, he also voiced some of the Marines, such as Corporal Perez. He later reprised his role as Guilty Spark for the terminals in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 2: Anniversary. Dadabo is also the narrator of the audio edition of Halo: Primordium, which is presented as an autobiographical recounting by 343 Guilty Spark.</itunes:summary>
