Summary

Today we are joined by actor, singer, and mindfulness consultant Elroy "Spoonface" Powell. He shares about his dysfunctional childhood, the racism he encountered as a Black Caribbean growing up in London, his rise and fall from fame in the music industry, and how he has used failure and hardship to cultivate a purposeful and fulfilling life.
Spoonface achieved international recording success in 2000 with the Black Legend cover of Barry White's song "You See the Trouble with Me". This proved to be a hit single reaching No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart, selling several million worldwide. His acting credits include Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson's film ‘Fighting With My Family’, Jingle Jangle, and ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’. He is also the author of "How To Think Beyond a Chart Position - 5 key considerations for emerging talent: "100 things I wish someone f@ck!ng told me before I joined the music industry".
