JHart: The Full Fantasy: JHart on Vocals, Vulnerability & Vision

In this episode, Ian Von sits down with Grammy-winning songwriter and powerhouse vocalist **JHart** to trace his journey from London to Atlanta to Los Angeles — and from shy, church-singing kid to in-demand hitmaker and fully realized solo artist. They dive into how the Black church, Atlanta’s R&B legacy, and the pain and beauty of the queer experience shaped his voice and pen. JHart opens up about self-sabotaging early opportunities, rebuilding his life and career in LA as a songwriter first, and finally stepping into the spotlight with his new EP ***The Full Fantasy***. The conversation spans everything from vocal “source-channeling,” the return of real singers, honoring Black musical traditions as a white queer artist, the power of live musicianship, and what it really means to be an *artist* vs. just a great vocalist. Along the way, they nerd out on Brandy, Mariah, Bieber, yacht rock, and the unsung centrality of R&B to the entire music ecosystem. 🧧 Support the Show: https://www.patreon.com/canwetalkrnb 📱Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & iHeart Now!!!! ✅Don’t forget to stream & rate us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and iHeart - CLICK LINKS BELOW! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4zfIA072HwTapLg019UDcM iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-can-we-talk-rb-119355435/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/can-we-talk-rnb-podcast/id1703170636 📲Stay connected with Us! #CanWeTalkRnB #CWTRB Hosted & Created by: Ian Von | www.instagram.com/IanVonMusic Produced by: Launch Pod Studio | www.instagram.com/LaunchPodStudio Links: 📱www.instagram.com/CanWeTalkRnB 📱www.twitter.com/CanWeTalkRnB 📱https://www.tiktok.com/@canwetalkrnb 🎥 www.youtube.com/canwetalkrnb #canwetalkrnbpodcast #rnb #podcast #rnbmusic #rnbvibes Learn more about your ad choices.
