It is a pleasure to welcome actor, singer, producer, and philanthropist Terayle Hill to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. 

Terayle stars as Marquise Howard in the popular TV series: Step Up. Based on the Step Up film franchise, the series follows the students and teachers at Atlanta’s High Water Performing Arts School, one of the city’s most cutthroat performing arts schools.

Some of Terayle’s co-stars include Carlito Olivero, Faizon Love, Ne-Yo, Christina Millan, and Tricia Helfer.

Terayle Hill is also starring as Todd Wesley in BET+’s original holiday film A Wesley Christmas. The film follows adult siblings Chris, Todd, and Cydney Wesley as they travel to their childhood home in Washington, DC, to celebrate the Christmas holidays with their parents, Bryan and Sylvia, and their entire family. Upon arrival, all kinds of family drama, a crazy neighbor, and conflict ensue. With the Wesley Family together and all their physical and emotional baggage in tow, this annual family get-together promises to be a festive, hot mess of a Christmas season with life-changing impacts for the entire family. 

When he is not acting, Terayle Hill is the co-founder and co-owner of Everybodies Inc. This multi-branch media enterprise creates and produces original series, music appeal, and more. Terayle and Ivan Gaskin worked to build and organize a team of over 100 creatives to come together and tell stories like never before.

Jeff Michaels TALKS MTV Music, “Boston Strong,” & Please Hug Me | JTWJE Podcast #358 – Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar

It is a privilege to welcome singer, musician, and author Jeff Michaels to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Whether his music is being played during some of television's most popular reality shows or inspiring people in the aftermath of Boston's worst terrorist attack, he has entertained fans with thought-provoking lyrics examining today's most significant social and political issues while infusing them with his unique brand of humor.  Jeff's dedication to the independent music scene has been a lifelong cause. Several of his songs have been licensed to over a dozen television shows, appearing in episodes of The Real World and Teen Moms (MTV) and the T.O. Show (VH1).Jeff was also a member of pop band Luce, whose music appeared on major motion picture soundtracks for How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and 13 Going on 30!  His willingness to use his music to commentate on some of society's most challenging issues has helped Jeff carve out a dedicated fan base. His song advocating equal rights, “Same F'ing Sun,” resulted in overwhelming fan support and attention from gay activist groups. Another of Jeff's songs, Boston Strong, captured the city's remarkable response to the tragic Boston Marathon bombing, resulting in Jeff receiving a personal thank-you letter from former Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick. Jeff's passion for creating extends beyond the world of music to published books. His comedic travel book, Please Hug Me—I've Been Delayed, was featured on NPR and the Chicago Tribune. Jeff is a vocal proponent of human rights when he isn't writing or creating music. On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Jeff Michaels spoke about how his music was incorporated into classic reality TV shows, inspiring people after Boston’s darkest day with music and his new single: “Lost in the Night.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar–4112003/support.
