Hosted by: Phire Jones

Guest: Charles Simmons

In this episode, Phire Jones sits down with a true architect of modern soul and R&B — Charles Simmons, a multi‑platinum songwriter, veteran performer, and the creative force behind both Family Circle and the next‑generation collective Charles Simmons & NFC.

With over 30 years in the game, Charles has lived the kind of musical journey most artists only dream about. He’s rocked stages with icons like James Brown, B.B. King, The Jacksons, and The Five Stairsteps, and his pen has touched some of the biggest records of the last decade — from J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive to The Game’s The Documentary, with credits alongside Drake, Solange, Wiz Khalifa, Fabolous, and more.

But Charles isn’t just about hits — he’s about heritage, heart, and evolution. Phire and Charles dive into it all in this episode.
