Have you ever manifested something down to the details? Honey Bxby went from crashing on her mama’s futon in Asbury Park to living the exact life she once mapped out in her journals. The Puerto Rican, Black, and Italian artist sits with us to talk about finding her voice back in high school, getting discovered off an unreleased song, and the moments that shaped her latest project Raw Honey. We also get into performing with Lil’ Kim, the story behind her name, and why she’s done feeling like she has to prove her identity to anybody.

From the sala, the heart of her home and culture, Kathleen (Kat) DeLuna, the artist behind one of our favorite bangers growing up, “Whine Up,” reflects on the memories, music, and Dominican roots that shaped her. In our latest episode, the singer-songwriter opens up about the duality of Kat versus Kathleen and how embracing her full self—including her faith, her pain, and her purpose—was the key to unlocking her artistry.

We talk familial relationships, divorce, and the power of forgiveness, especially in her evolving relationship with her father. Kat shares how she got closest to God not during the highs but on the way down, and how those moments of surrender helped her become the woman she was always meant to be.

From childhood talent shows to becoming the first Dominican female pop artist to break industry barriers, Kat reveals what it means to stop running from your calling and step fully into who you were born to be. This episode is a celebration of music, faith, healing, and the lives we change simply by being ourselves.

What happens when your relationship becomes the record? Raquel Berrios of Buscabulla joins us to talk about her latest album, Se Amaba Así—a deeply romantic project exploring the psychological dynamics of her relationship with partner and bandmate Luis in a way that feels more grown and vulnerable.

Raquel also opens up about motherhood, the spiritual practices that keep her grounded, and reclaiming the bold emotional intensity of Latina icons like La Lupe, La India, and Ednita Nazario, women who weren’t afraid to feel out loud.

This episode is a deep, honest look at love, art, the emotional work behind both, and what happens when you turn your real life into art. Se Amaba Así is a mirror, a reflection, una invitación to love louder, go deeper, and maybe cry while you dance. Because when you’re willing to tell the truth, you don’t just create something beautiful, you become someone braver.
