    Feb 18 2026

From viral pandemic-era covers to crafting deeply personal original music, he shares how pain, growth, and self-reflection became the foundation of his creative process.Together, they unpack: “Pain is inevitable, misery is optional” — the mindset that reshaped his outlook on life Navigating faith reconstruction and redefining identity in public Why vulnerability built his audience — and the boundaries he’s learned to keep The pandemic pivot that transformed his music career overnight Writing songs that heal both the artist and the listener Battling depression, rediscovering joy, and building sustainable emotional rhythms Fatherhood, fear, and how becoming a dad changed his empathy and purpose The difference between happiness and joy — and how daily rituals restore both Creating music as a net positive for the world, even in difficult seasons Why R&B never lost its soul — it simply evolved Joseph also shares insight into his upcoming project Terracotta, recorded with live musicians and analog warmth to capture the humanity often missing in modern music production.If you’ve ever wrestled with purpose, creativity, faith, or personal transformation, this conversation is a reminder that growth doesn’t happen all at once — it happens through honest moments and small daily choices.📌 Share this with someone navigating change, healing, or rediscovering who they are becoming.👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations that pour back into our people.Stay connected with Joseph Solomon:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatisjoedoingFollow Black Menswear:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackmenswearX / Twitter: https://x.com/blackmenswearFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BlackMenswearWebsite: https://blackmenswear.com#JosephSolomon #BlackMenswear #MusicAndHealing #FatherhoodJourney #MentalHealthConversations #RnBSoul #CreativeProcess #BlackMenHealing Learn more about your ad choices.
