Manasseh is a brilliant singer, voice coach, and vocal arranger. He joined me in studio with his friend and multi-instrumentalist Charles Ramsey III and got into dealing with trauma, putting together a good team, and training yourself to notice divine signs. Follow him @yomanasseh and look out for his album Monochromatic Dream this fall!
