Today we interview somebody we know you have seen if you've been to MPM Tiki Bar on a Friday night. We are joined by Shawn Speake – one half of an infamous duo known for hosting the best and dare I say “littest” Karaoke show at MPM Tiki Bar and The Beach House on Broad. Olivia met Shawn on a random Monday night when she got happy hour drinks with a friend. She didn't expect to stay out after midnight on a work-night, but she did because of Shawn's energy. Shawn is particularly amazing with his karaoke hype man skills, rapping ability, and dance moves. His fashion is also unbeatable.

Shawn Speake is a one-man rap cover band and performing artist. You might know him as Shawn Michael – the name he went by for years as an on-air talent at Power92FM in RVA. Shawn has been a radio DJ and an actor on several shows on Amazon, Netflix, and even some Christmas movies that you can find at Walmart.

During COVID, SPEAK produced 137 music tracks. He recently enrolled at the reverse engineering program on mastering.com with the pursuit to become a music engineer and self producing artist.

Speak and his friend DJ Reflex recently opened for Nelly at the Meadow Event Park in Doswell in August. Tune in to hear crazy Shawn ~speake~ (no pun intended) more about his music, his acting career, and more. You'll even hear him spit a few bars at the end of the episode! He will definitely make you laugh and bring a smile to your face.

We also discuss the history of Octoberfest and places that you can celebrate in Richmond.
