I love to see an artist like Muni Long, who is exceptionally versed in how the business works. She and Charlamagne speak up for radio around the 17:00 mark, but the whole interview is great.
Muni is a vet and simultaneously a rising star in the music industry.
They discussed Muni Long’s hit song, “Made for You,” and its unexpected success. She shared how the song had resonated with audiences across different demographics despite facing initial skepticism as an independent black woman in R&B music.
“It was a significant moment for me,” Muni Long reflected. “But more importantly, it felt like a cultural milestone. Breaking into the industry wasn’t easy, but the response to ‘Made for You’ was overwhelming.”
As they delved deeper into Muni Long’s creative process, she emphasized the role of faith and intuition in her music.
“God plays a significant role in my work,” she explained. “It’s not about having a secret formula; it’s about staying true to myself and my beliefs. That authenticity is what connects with people.”
The conversation shifted to Muni Long’s journey in the music industry and the challenges she had faced along the way. From her early days uploading videos on YouTube to navigating the complexities of the business, she had encountered numerous obstacles on her path to success.
“It’s been a long journey,” Muni Long admitted. “There were times when I wanted to give up, but something inside me kept pushing me forward. Looking back, I’m grateful for every experience, as they’ve shaped me into the artist I am today.”
As they wrapped up the interview, Muni Long reflected on the creative process behind her music videos, including the concept for “Made for You.”
“The original idea was a bit dark,” she confessed. “But we had to make some adjustments to appeal to a broader audience. It’s all about finding a balance between creativity and accessibility.”
With a sense of gratitude and optimism, Muni Long expressed her excitement for the future.
“I’m looking forward to what’s next,” she said. “There are endless possibilities, and I’m ready to keep sharing my music with the world.”
