December 18, 2025 Tony Tetuila’s Life is a Journey of Resilience and Grace
In this special episode of With an S, produced in collaboration with the Egwu Vinyl Street Carnival, Deji and Dami sit down with Nigerian music pioneer, Tony Tetuila, for an unfiltered and deeply reflective conversation about his legacy. Headlining the Egwu Vinyl Street Carnival, the Golden Boy of Africa traces his journey from joining The Remedies, one of Nigeria’s pioneering musical groups, to the experiences and conflicts that ultimately pushed him toward a solo career.

December 11, 2025 Good Girl LA on the Power of Rebellion
In this episode, GoodGirl LA takes us inside her journey of artistry and reinvention, beginning with her early love for writing lyrics and the sparks of inspiration she found watching icons like Lady Gaga.
She speaks on how intuition shapes her fashion, her performances, and the worlds she creates—always balancing beauty with chaos. GoodGirl LA unpacks the symbolism behind her use of knives, not as mere shock value but as an emblem of power and rebellion against expectations placed on women. She describes her music as both weapon and elixir, a force to cut through limitations and awaken creativity in others.
From worldbuilding her latest project to reframing the “good girl” narrative as defiance and liberation, she shares why her work is bigger than herself. Ultimately, GoodGirl LA’s story is one of embracing authenticity and inspiring the next generation to take up space boldly.
