In February 2021, country music star Morgan Wallen was suspended from his record label and his music was pulled by several radio stations and streaming services after a video surfaced of him shouting a racial slur.

Immediately following this incident, his sales increased 1,220%. On April 7th, Wallen was arrested on felony charges for allegedly throwing a chair from the roof of a bar on Broadway in downtown Nashville. This incident added to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding his actions and public image.

The most recent law, House Bill 878, grants an individual the right to refuse to solemnize a marriage if the individual has a religious or conscience-based objection to that partnership. Republican Senator Mark Pody sponsored this bill, and is also the Senator that stated that in 2015, he was told by God to "Stop Same Sex Marriages".

For our spotlight episode this month, we are thrilled to talk to Jamie Floyd. Jamie is a two-time Grammy nominated, independent singer and songwriter who has written songs for some of the biggest stars in the music industry. She is creative, passionate and driven and has some amazing new projects in the works.

We discuss how she gets inspired to write music, including watching "trashy reality television". Even though she has had many ups and downs in her career, she manages to keep a positive attitude and has learned that the only "NO" she will listen to, is from herself.

Go listen to her newest singles: "Sad Summer", "I Never Want to See You Again", and "Sad Girls Do" anywhere you get your music. https://www.officialjamiefloyd.com
