Steven Sysum and guest Jonathan White, host and creator of the podcast “Accelerate Living”, take us through some in-depth analysis of the culture, styles, message, and uniqueness this genre of music offers to all who are open to be explore what other, well-crafted genres bring to the music-sphere. “Be open and embrace where it takes you.”
