Samona Whiteside is a contemporary singer with incredible sounds that you can hear on spotify, youtube, reverbnation and many more online channels – and all of her songs have thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of plays. As a multi-talented and modern gospel vocalist and singer, when I first heard her music I was just blown away. I wasn’t expecting such nuance, within an intimate, yet powerful way of singing, while still honoring her roots in the gospel tradition in exciting ways. Samona makes music that is thoughtful, conscious and driven by the desire to inspire, comfort and spread love and joy to all those that hear it. Join us as host Megan Morgan interviews Samona where they talk about music, being a wife and mother, and how she uses her voice and her music as a vehicle to express her perspectives and tell stories. The beginning and end of the episode feature her songs, so it's a special treat for listeners. Her overarching ambition is to encourage and motivate people, pushing the boundaries of our perception as to what music, devotion and particularly what gospel music can be. Samona believes that music may not change the world, but that it can certainly change people, in the world.
