The Love Experiment with BLVK Samurai
BLVK Samurai (AKA Charles Burchell) is a pillar of strength, love, and courage. His unique approach to life glows with a fluorescent hue. Harvard graduate, father, friend, musician, and love are all words that describe his journey and our conversation. I have a feeling you guys are going to love the topics and sounds explored on this episode of The Working Artist Project.
