Nuela Charles, Canadian-Swiss-and-Kenyan Soul Singer, joins me via Skype for the inaugural episode of Mondays with Marot and our first artist spotlight. Nuela is a rising star in the Soul and R&B world and was recently featured on Soul Train's blog, where she was called an "Artist to Watch" in 2014.

Nuela spoke with me about her latest album, Aware, her musical inspiration and what's next. We discussed whether or not anything is really "new" in music in the 21st century and more. You will also hear two tracks off of Aware, including "Good in Me" which was just featured on VH1's Single Ladies in February.

Check out Nuela's website for more information on where to find her music and upcoming shows.
