From Prince’s Paisley Park to empowering youth through hip-hop and education—David “TC” Ellis shares his incredible journey in this rare 2004 Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley radio interview. Discover how a Minneapolis rap pioneer turned his passion into purpose.

🎙️ Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley is a podcast featuring legendary and emerging funk, R&B, and Prince-associated artists. On air since 1982 and now spanning five decades, the show was personally spotlighted by Prince on his website in 2004. He also gifted us the One Nite Alone box set in 2002 — before any media outlet.

Joe Kelley interviews TC Ellis about his groundbreaking role at Paisley Park, his work with Prince and George Clinton, appearance in the movie Graffiti Bridge, and how he built a one-of-a-kind school blending music, academics, and mentorship for the next generation.
