"Love Will Check You First" Featuring Adrian Marcel
Description
This week on the xoMAN Podcast, host Kiara "Kiki Said So" Walker sits down with singer, songwriter, husband and father Adrian Marcel, to talk about the personal evolution behind the music. Known for his smooth vocals and Bay Area flavor, Adrian gets candid about love, fatherhood, and the identity shifts that come with both.
He opens up about meeting his wife at a time when she wasn't fully over her ex — and why he took that as a challenge, not a red flag. From losing his record deal to finding clarity in fatherhood and faith, Adrian shares how life checked his ego and made space for the man he's become.
They get into:
-
The moment he realized he was performing pain for a check
-
Why he kept his relationship private early on
-
How becoming a father of four transformed his priorities
-
The role faith and therapy played in his healing
-
Red flags, emotional accountability, and letting go of control in love
It's emotional, insightful, and full of gems about navigating purpose, partnership, and masculinity as a Black man in the public eye.
