However, as we celebrate the incredible diversity of voices and talents within the music industry, it's essential to acknowledge that the path to equality, diversity, and inclusion has not always been harmonious.

Fanning the Flames: King Dari on Trauma, Truth & Turning Pain Into Power
In this episode, we’re joined by King Dari, an emerging artist, musician, and creator from Kansas City, whose journey is defined by resilience, self-discovery, and fearless authenticity.
Growing up in poverty as one of twelve children, fleeing gang-related fires, and navigating environments designed to limit him, King Dari’s story is one of survival and transformation. Becoming the first in his family to graduate from a four-year university, he learned early on that success didn’t come from fitting into a box, but from completely erasing it.
We dive into his openness around mental health, the realities of being an independent artist in a deeply corporate music industry, and how his sound is shaped by an ancestral foundation in gospel music, blended seamlessly with contemporary, secular influences. Sonically and vocally, King Dari bridges worlds sacred and secular, past and present while staying rooted in truth.
With four singles, two EPs, and a powerful catalogue of freestyles and social content, King Dari is building a career on authenticity, intention, and creative freedom.
This is a conversation about identity, healing, independence, and what it really means to claim your voice.
