In this conversation, August Wild reconnects with his high school classmate Dele — now a rising artist whose story is rooted in faith, growth, discipline, and self-discovery.

From humming melodies in a church studio as a kid to traveling to Nigeria during a global lockdown to create Four Letters, Dele opens up about:

• Self-doubt

• Identity

• Faith

• Family

• Community

• Creativity

• And learning how to stop chasing validation

The conversation also explores why artistry is deeper than just music, the danger of tying identity to one thing, and why Dele believes his song “Felony” deserves far more attention.

This episode is full of perspective, wisdom, and honest conversation.
