The ultimate OG power couple, Will and Gwen Covington share how they met and achieved Grammy success in this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. They started dating while Gwen was pursuing her Masters, but it wasn’t until Will started jamming on the drums “for old time sake” in a childhood friend’s garage that Gwen realized her scuba-diver boyfriend was also an accomplished musician. That’s when they began working with legends like The Commodores, James Brown Gladys Knight & The Pips, and BB King. They also started providing professional consulting services in music publishing, special events planning, and concert productions for up-and-coming recording artists. This summer, Will and Gwen are conducting their third Summer Youth Mentoring Program “So You Want Your Name In Lights”, an arts-focused project that encourages under-served youth to make good choices while developing character, confidence, leadership, and positive life skills. Through music-related activities, youth learn audio digital tech, basic piano, songwriting composition, music recording production, and talent performance along with instruction on financial literacy, wellness, entrepreneurship, and positive life-social skills.
