The Next Movement Podcast

Atlanta artist Fabian Williams, aka Occasional Superstar, shares his inspiring story from growing up as an artistic child in a military family, taking his talents to Los Angeles to work in advertising for some of the biggest brands, only to leave corporate America behind to focus on creating murals with social and political messages. The destruction of his original Colin Kaepernick mural led to his response - #kaeperbowl - centered around Superbowl 53 in Atlanta, and leading to a global media frenzy. Podcast host and AMP CEO Dantes Rameau is joined by Alivia Carter and Landon Wilkins, two alumni from the AMP Class of 2020.

Josephine Lee, acclaimed conductor, pianist, producer and arranger has been the President and Artistic Director of the world-renowned Chicago Children's Choir since 1999. In a thoughtful and wide-ranging discussion, Josephine reveals the moment the students she was leading saved her life, tells the story about how her choir recorded with Chance the Rapper, and explains how one's intention and mindset can shape the way you connect with others. Podcast host and AMP CEO Dantes Rameau is joined by AMP student baritone Sedreck Whitaker-Baker, AMP choir conductor Brittney Boykin, and Aisha Moody AMP's Chief Program Officer.

World-renowned cellist Johannes Moser joins the Atlanta Music Project's The Next Movement podcast to talk about life as a traveling solo artist (before, during and after COVID-19), discuss how working with a mental coach helped him prepare for his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic, and tells wonderful stories about his music education initiatives. Johannes also takes the time to answer an AMP student's questions about how to set up your practice sessions and how one can work to develop a unique sound. Johannes first connected with AMP in 2012 when he conducted a masterclass with our students, while in town for a solo performance with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
