This week, the #butterchickenboys sit down with a forceful Los Angeles team - singer and musician extraordinaire The Musical Doc, and producer, DJ, and engineer Peter Madana. We begin with @themusicaldoc telling @DJSharad and @DJJuicy about her music filled upbringing. Her parents are both classically trained Karnatic musicians, and her father is an #ethnomusicology PhD. The Doc sang in her gospel church choir growing up, and identified with music even before identifying with her own name. She finished medical school - we know, incredible - and then found her way back to her North Star: music. We then delve into the inspiring teamwork and respect between @petermadana and The Doc. Peter and the boys take a (some may say necessary) tangent into the philosophy of what makes a “foodie,” and then make their way back to the importance of trust, faith, and friendship within a team. The Musical Doc gives us a scintillating #acapella taste from her new record #MelaninandHoney, a project through which her anticolorism message shines through. She’s asks, how do you talk about something as taboo, uncomfortable, and deep rooted as #colorism in an attractive way on a mainstream level? Well, she did it - and we highly recommend checking it out!
