Once again, Tallahassee has made national news with local musician Royce Lovett winning a spot on the reality TV show The Voice. As a longtime favorite of local venues and festivals, and having secured a contract as Motown Gospel artist, his career seemed to be headed in the right direction. And yet, he struggled against the inevitable labels that music execs and promotors use to sell to audiences.
We will revisit a conversation Royce had with Brien in August of 2018 in which he talked about the challenges he has faced and the determination he continues to draw from his family and his faith in God.
