Charles “Easy Lee” Peters (@thirdrootmusic) joined us in Episode 17
Easy is a poet, songwriter, MC, and Educator. We begin at the start of his musical career- fusing southern raps with timeless soul music, and his time touring the nation as a member of a signed group, Mo’Joe.
From this point we discuss various ups, and downs that lead Easy to a passionate, and ultimately championed path in education. Finally we arrive at Easy’s current work with Third Root, a project he co-founded with Marco Cervantes (MexStep). We cover their progression, and how they found their sound working with an array of renowned musicians, and producers.
We summarize by acknowleding Easy’s persistance, and how he accomplished a union between his passion for music, and possibly an even greater purpose- as an activist, teacher, and an inspiration.
