Tone Stith: Writing for Chris Brown, Stevie Wonder Co-Sign & Learning from Drake | Won of One EP 17

<p>In this episode of Won of One: A PLLRS Podcast, Tone Stith, Grammy-winning New Jersey native, traces a career that began with a YouTube cover that landed in Justin Bieber's hands, wound through Jas Prince's orbit, and quietly produced some of the most recognizable R&amp;B records of the last decade, including Chris Brown's platinum "Liquor." Stith opens up about the emotional weight behind his latest project, The Edge, the recent loss that shaped it, and what it felt like to finally trust his own instincts after years of navigating the constraints of a major label deal. He reflects on Drake's advice about reinvention and what it means to step out of the writer's chair and into the spotlight as the full artist he has always been. Tone Stith's story is one of quiet persistence finally meeting its moment.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>About Today’s Guest</strong></p><p>Tone Stith is a Grammy-winning R&amp;B singer, songwriter, and producer from New Jersey who came up in a deeply musical household. He first caught industry attention as a teenager when a YouTube cover posted by his group SJ3 reached Justin Bieber, who passed it along to entrepreneur Jas Prince, the key force behind Drake's early career. Prince brought Stith into the fold as a solo act, and he made his mark as a songwriter by co-writing Chris Brown's 2015 platinum single "Liquor," followed by "Make Love" and later "Undecided." His 2017 debut mixtape Can We Talk drew critical praise from Complex, Billboard, and HipHopDX. Now signed to MNRK Records, Stith continues to build on his reputation as one of R&amp;B's most versatile triple threats.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Key Points from this Episode</strong>:</p><ul><li><p> 0:00 Welcome Back to Won of One: A PLLRS Podcast with Today’s Guest, Tone Stith</p></li><li><p>1:00 Charting on Billboard and Getting Presented a Plaque at The Blue Note</p></li><li><p>1:51 Stevie Wonder Shouting Out "FLY" and Why That Reaction Beat Every Award</p></li><li><p>4:30 Building The Edge: Creative Process, Brodie Brown, KP, and the Album Vision</p></li><li><p>6:00 Going From Writer and Producer for Others to Taking Center Stage</p></li><li><p>9:30 The Problem Solvers, Current Collaborators, and Dream Creatives Including Pharrell and Ye</p></li><li><p>12:50 Music as a Tool of Guidance, Recent Loss, and What He Spent His First Big Check On</p></li><li><p>16:11 Drake's Advice on Reinvention, Jas Prince, and Watching Drake's Career Up Close</p></li><li><p>20:42 Major Label vs. Independent, RCA, MNRK, and How Bryson Tiller's Trap Soul Changed Everything</p></li><li><p>26:00 Parting Ways With RCA, The Edge as His Turning Point, and Learning to Trust Himself</p></li><li><p>28:38 What's Next: Touring, Family, Legacy, and Taking It One Step at a Time</p></li><li><p>32:00 International Reception and Going Viral in K-Pop Spaces in Korea</p></li></ul><p><br /></p><p><strong>Mentioned on the Show</strong></p><ul><li><p>Connect with Tone Stith on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tonestith" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/tonestith</a></p></li><li><p>Connect with Tone Stith on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tonestith" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@tonestith</a></p></li><li><p>Watch Tone Stith on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/tonestith" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/tonestith</a></p></li><li><p>More from Tone Stith: <a href="https://www.tonestithmusic.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tonestithmusic.com/</a></p></li><li><p>Listen to THE EDGE: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5AimZyPhOibH9cTCfBRO1V?si=TQv9zrMjRsOPkC3iSZJWJw" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/album/5AimZyPhOibH9cTCfBRO1V?si=TQv9zrMjRsOPkC3iSZJWJw</a></p></li></ul><p><br /></p><p><strong>Join the Conversation: </strong></p><p>🏛️ Watch more on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thePLLRS" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@thePLLRS</a></p><p>🏛️ Follow us on Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thepllrs/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/thepllrs/</a></p><p>🏛️ Follow us on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thepllrs" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@thepllrs</a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with us on X: <a href="https://x.com/the_pllrs" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://x.com/the_pllrs</a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with us on Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/thepllrs.bsky.social" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/thepllrs.bsky.social</a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with us on Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.com/@thepllrs" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.threads.com/@thepllrs</a></p><p>🏛️ PLLRS Press and more: <a href="https://linktr.ee/ThePLLRS" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/ThePLLRS</a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with Won of One Host, Reg Calixte: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/LTLENG" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/LTLENG</a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with Keith Nelson, Jr.: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/keithnelsonjr" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/keithnelsonjr</a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with Rose Mercado, MA.Ed.: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/photo_bombshell" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/photo_bombshell</a></p><p>🏛️ Manhattan Neighborhood Network: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mnnnyc" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/mnnnyc</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>🔊 Listen on Spotify: </strong><a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thepllrs/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thepllrs/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>🔊 Listen on Apple: </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/won-of-one-a-pllrs-podcast/id1840643899" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/won-of-one-a-pllrs-podcast/id1840643899</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>✉️ For Business Inquiries</strong>, email: <a href="mailto:rose@photobombshell.media" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rose@photobombshell.media</a><br /></p>

Kei Henderson on Life After 21 Savage, Mental Health and Live Nation Deal | Won of One EP 16

<p>Before the Grammy, before the Live Nation deal, before 21 Savage was a household name, there was Kei Henderson, watching closely, betting early, and building differently. In this episode of Won of One: A PLLRS Podcast, the Founder and CEO of Third + Hayden traces a career path that began as a side hustle while she was still in corporate, ran through the underground Atlanta rap scene, and ultimately produced one of the most distinctive artist development companies in the music business today. Henderson talks openly about the risk calculus of entrepreneurship, deal structure, and leverage. With a landmark Live Nation partnership in 2024 and a roster built on ownership from day one, Kei Henderson is rewriting the music industry from within, on her own terms, and with receipts.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Today’s Guest</strong></p><p>Kei Henderson is the Founder &amp; CEO of Third + Hayden, the Atlanta-based management, label, and publishing company rewriting what independent artist development can look like. You may know her name from the 21 Savage era: she spotted him as a local Atlanta rapper in 2014, built him into a global phenomenon, and earned a Grammy Award in the process. Launched in 2021, Third + Hayden operates on a deceptively radical thesis: that great artists require whole human beings first. That means ownership and masters retained from day one, and perhaps most unusually in this business, a non-recoupable personal development fund for every label signee, directed toward therapy, rehab, or whatever an artist actually needs to thrive. The business world noticed: in 2024, Live Nation announced a landmark artist development partnership with the company, the first time the live entertainment giant has ever partnered with an Atlanta-based management firm. A multiple Billboard Power List honoree, Kei Henderson is one of the most vocal and visionary executives in the industry on the intersection of wellness, ownership, and what a long career in music can actually look like when the incentives are finally aligned.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Points from this Episode</strong>:</p><ul><li><p>0:00 Welcome Back to Won of One: A PLLRS Podcast with Today’s Guest, Kei Henderson</p></li><li><p>2:00 From Corporate Side Hustle to Founding Third + Hayden</p></li><li><p>4:30 The Risk of Entrepreneurship and Betting on Yourself Without a Roadmap</p></li><li><p>6:45 The Live Nation Partnership and Getting Involved With Artists Earlier</p></li><li><p>8:50 Managing 21 Savage From the Underground and What the Drake Co-Sign Changed</p></li><li><p>16:00 Helping 21 Savage Secure His Masters, Label Leverage, and Building Ticket History</p></li><li><p>22:27 Label Resources vs. Building Independently: How Managers Decide</p></li><li><p>28:22 Why Third + Hayden Funds Therapy, Wellness, and Personal Development for Artists</p></li><li><p>35:55 Kei Henderson&#39;s Advice to Artists on Navigating the Music Industry</p></li><li><p>38:53 Is the Era of the Superstar Over?</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Mentioned on the Show</strong></p><ul><li><p>Connect with Kei Henderson<strong>: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/keiopensdoors/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/keiopensdoors/</u></a></p></li><li><p>Third + Hayden: <a href="https://thirdandhayden.com/"><u>https://thirdandhayden.com/</u></a></p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Join the Conversation: </strong></p><p>🏛️ Watch more on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thePLLRS"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@thePLLRS</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Follow us on Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thepllrs/"><u> https://www.instagram.com/thepllrs/</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Follow us on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thepllrs"><u>https://www.tiktok.com/@thepllrs</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with us on X: <a href="https://x.com/the_pllrs"><u>https://x.com/the_pllrs</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with us on Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/thepllrs.bsky.social"><u>https://bsky.app/profile/thepllrs.bsky.social</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with us on Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.com/@thepllrs"><u>https://www.threads.com/@thepllrs</u></a></p><p>🏛️ PLLRS Press and more: <a href="https://linktr.ee/ThePLLRS"><u>https://linktr.ee/ThePLLRS</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with Won of One Host, Reg Calixte: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/LTLENG"><u>https://www.instagram.com/LTLENG</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with Keith Nelson, Jr.: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/keithnelsonjr"><u>https://www.instagram.com/keithnelsonjr</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Connect with Rose Mercado, MA.Ed.: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/photo_bombshell"><u>https://www.instagram.com/photo_bombshell</u></a></p><p>🏛️ Manhattan Neighborhood Network: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mnnnyc"><u>https://www.instagram.com/mnnnyc</u></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>🔊 Listen on Spotify: </strong><a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thepllrs/"><u>https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/thepllrs/</u></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>🔊 Listen on Apple: </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/won-of-one-a-pllrs-podcast/id1840643899"><u>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/won-of-one-a-pllrs-podcast/id1840643899</u></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>✉️ For Business Inquiries</strong>, email: <a href="mailto:rose@photobombshell.media"><u>rose@photobombshell.media</u></a><br></p>
