The path to her dream has had many twists and turns, but she has stayed on the path.  She always knew what she was here to do. 

The fruit of her labor is here today. She shares it with you.

Hannah Gold is a 22-year-old R&B-Pop Fusion Artist who brings to her music hip-hop, alternative, gospel, and rock. 

Hannah’s lyrics are honest and at times tragic, but also hopeful.  
Her vocals are beautiful, new. Fresh. She evokes powerful emotions that crash around in your own memories, failures, triumphs.  
Her lyrics stay with you.  They evoke reflection.

She writes music about love, relationships, break-ups, and navigating her new, adult world.

Hannah grew up in Long Island, New York, and moved to Los Angeles, at the age of 18 to pursue her studies at the University of Southern California and her dream of becoming an artist.

It’s been a long journey.  4 years of hard work and relentless

Our special guest today is Kaden Lebsack "Last Ninja Standing" - American Ninja Warrior SN13 - WINNER! 

Kaden Lebsack (Super K WakeNinja) was born in Castle Rock, Colorado. 
Wakeboarding was his first passion starting at the age of 2. 
At the age of 10, he was the youngest member of the Mile High Wakeboarding Team. 

In the summer of 2016, is when Kaden discovered Ninja! 
Since then it's been nonstop training and competing. He has been across the US competing and is currently the back-to-back UNAA World Champ. Which stands for Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association

At the heart of “American Ninja Warrior” is the Great American Obstacle Course, and its obstacles, like those of American life, are meant to teach us lessons. 

Plan your route through the rope jungle carefully. 

Never be afraid of the mini-trampoline, because it will sense your fear and punish you for it. 

Momentum is crucial on the spin cycle. Hesitate and you’re done. 

Watch your forerunners carefully. One ninja’s mistake is another ninja’s education. 

American Ninjas are plumbers and dentists and stove cleaners and computer programmers and farmers who leap hay bale to hay bale, defying gravity and frightening the livestock. 

The show proudly boasts contestants from all fifty states. 

Ninjas are pro athletes and ex-Olympians and underdogs. 

Every season—we just wrapped the 13th season—follows the same arc. Each contestant must pass through the six obstacles of a city qualifier course—always culminating in a straight run up the infamous fourteen-foot Warped Wall to hit a buzzer on top—and then a Finals course in the same city, with four new obstacles beyond the Warped Wall, in order to qualify for Mount Midoriyama: a four-stage mega-course in Las Vegas that concludes with a seventy-five-foot vertical rope climb. 

The obstacles are a brutal parade of inanimate objects: 
Dancing Stones, Spinning Log, Floating Boards, Jumping Spider, Rumbling Dice, Monkey Peg, Cargo Crossing, Salmon Ladder, Double Salmon Ladder. 

On courses temporarily constructed, like pop-up playgrounds, in a series of curated urban locales—along the Venice beachfront, around Indianapolis’s Monument Circle—contestants support and propel their bodies in feats of unthinkable exertion. 

They swing on ropes, grip onto pegs suspended high above safety pools, brace their bodies between parallel walls, hold onto rolling logs, hold onto spinning wheels, run across tilting tables and wobbling perches. To make it onto the show, they have to submit audition tapes—

The show also brings back popular contestants year after year, a kind of American Ninja aristocracy.

The hosts of the show are Matt Iseman, a “bro host” comedian, and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila, a former N.F.L. defender and unrepentant pun addict. 

“American Ninja Warrior” is based on a Japanese obstacle-course show called “Sasuke,” named after the mythic ninja Sarutobi Sasuke. 

And yet I find that the moments when the show seems to illuminate something crucially American don’t live in its stories of by-your-own-bootstraps or anyone-can-do-it success but, rather, in the rupturing of these myths. 

The ninjas were competing not against the course and not even, ultimately, against one another. They were competing to make history.

The next installment of The Mike Gormley Interviews Music Series...

Mike steps behind the curtain with the band, Rubi Ate The Fig.

Our Special Guests today is Sharon Eliashar is the Writer, Singer, Guitarist, and the Founder of RUBI ATE THE FIG, and Marc Mann,  Keyboards, Guitar.

"Born in Jerusalem, I was raised in the Desert of Palm Springs and spent the summers in Jerusalem with my huge Sephardic family, a family that has been there for over 500 years. I wrote my first song when I was 8, learned how to play guitar at 13, sang in the school choir, and excelled in acting."

At 16, I dropped out of High School, (and popular music), and went to College. I became obsessed with Jazz Fusion: Mahavishnu, Chick Corea, Weather Report, to name a few. I would sneak into the local bar just to see Danny Montgomery play drums in his Jazz fusion group; Danny now plays with Rubi Ate the Fig.

While getting my degree in Pure Math from U.C. Berkeley I played in the Javanese Gamelan, studied classical Indian singing, and classical guitar.

I began studying Dumbeq, Arabic drum, with Polly Tapia Ferber who plays with Rubi Ate the Fig. Polly introduced me to the odd Ome rhythms, complexities, and grooves of traditional Arabic and Turkish music. This was a huge turning point for me as a writer and is the foundation for my music writing for Rubi Ate the Fig.

I met Marc Mann (Concert for George, ELO, Oingo Boingo) who took an interest in my music and my synthesis of Rock and Middle-Eastern music.

I formed Rubi Ate the Fig in 2013, compromising of my all-Ome favorite musicians, whom I now write for. We had our first show in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2013.

Marc Mann and I co-produce Rubi Ate the Fig, and it is this collaboration that truly realizes the vision of Rubi Ate the Fig. Ali Paris, from Palestine, is our newest addition, playing the Qanun, a Middle-Eastern plucked zither."
