  • Today, we’ll experience Simi Valley followed by an interview with remarkable and inspiring Steve Strope!

    Steve Strope’s journey to owning Pure Vision Design, a renowned hot rod and muscle car fabrication shop in Simi Valley, California, is a story of passion, perseverance, and creativity. Raised in Apalachin, New York, Strope’s path to success had many twists and turns, including playing in his band, Twist of Fate, for eight years in the Triple Cities area. His love for music played a pivotal role in shaping his creative approach to car building.

    After moving to California over two decades ago to pursue a career in the hot rod industry, Strope faced an early setback when the company he planned to work for went out of business. However, through a series of chance meetings, he secured a job in a hot rod shop, which became the foundation of his career. His breakthrough came when Hot Rod Magazine spotted his beloved '67 Chevy El Camino and featured it, marking the realization of his dream to be in a magazine.

    At Pure Vision, Strope and his small team craft award-winning, trendsetting cars inspired by fictional stories, with unique engines and designs that evoke emotion. His success has led him to work with celebrities like Jay Leno and co-host the YouTube podcast Car Guy Confessions with Jeff Smith and Cam Benty, where they explore the intersections of cars, BMX, and music.

  • Today, we’ll experience Nat King Cole’s life in Los Angeles featuring by an interview with incredibly talented Eddie Wakes!

    From Walt Disney Theatrical to “La La Land”, Eddie has turned heads when he sings.

    Eddie’s life as a singer is the stuff movies are made of: from performing at the Super Bowl as a youngster, to being discovered years later singing on the street in Los Angeles by Hollywood A-listers, to performing for and with legends. That’s because when Eddie sings, he turns heads. As Academy Award winning director Damien Chazelle says, “You don’t hear many voices like his today. Rich, delicate and effortlessly beautiful.”

    Eddie’s Wakes vocal style is reminiscent of another time. Eddie has a velvety, wide range baritone that doesn’t sound like other contemporary singers today. He gets rave reviews. He’s a “tremendous singer” says Elvis Costello.

    Eddie hails from Topeka, Kansas. Within his own family, a lineage of musical prowess served as his guiding light. He sang with his eight brothers, his father was a pastor and a phenomenal singer – Lionel Hampton asks him to sing with his big band – and Eddie, in turn, honed his skills in the vibrant crucible of church and school talent showcases. Eddie says, “I associated my love for music with my love for family. It was the covalent bond that defined, really, how I saw myself, my family, my community.”

    Eddie continues, “Who were my great influences growing up singing? Well, my older brothers, and of course, the countless icons who influenced them: Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Billy Eckstine, Johnny Hartman, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, even James Brown.

    Now with management, an agent and a record label in place, Eddie’s about to embark on his most ambitious project to date in support of his debut album, “Street Singer”. Backed by a world-class quartet, Eddie will tour extensively, domestically and abroad.
