Rotimi: Actor, Artist, Trailblazer debut...

It's Never Too Late To Pivot
About this episode

 "I was fear driven in the past...The greats are the ones that trailblaze, and I'm here to trailblaze." Rotimi Actor and Artist

On a brand new episode of The Pivot Podcast, we're switching things up in a big way with our guy Rotimi! Back for a repeat visit with us, his life has taken so many turns and gone to new heights since he came on The Pivot in our 2nd season....but now, You've seen him shine on Power and he's making waves as the newest full-time cast member on The Chi, But that's just the start. With Fred away, Rotimi joins Ryan and Channing as a third host to share his journey, mindset, relationship, and most importantly- new music- as he takes us through the message behind each track.

In a Pivot first, Rotimi treats us (and YOU!) to an exclusive listening party for his brand new album In My Heart, In My Veins, playing select songs, Bet It AllMore Life, and Blessed sharing the meaning behind the words. Each track offers a unique vibe, from R&B to Afrobeat but this isn’t just about the music; Rotimi takes us behind the curtain, explaining the stories, emotions, and creative process behind each song, and the album as a whole. And just when you think it couldn’t get more fun and exclusive, He gives us a one-of-a-kind impromptu performance you don't want to miss.

Of course, we couldn’t let Rotimi have all the fun. Channing decides to jump in with his own freestyle and song suggestions. Could Channing’s bars make it on an official album co-produced by the Pivot or would his ideas never make it to paper? But this episode isn't just about the laughs or listening to tracks—Rotimi opens up about what it means to invest in yourself, trust your instincts, and put everything you have into your craft. He shares how stepping into his destiny has pushed him to new heights, making this album his most personal and powerful work yet, and drops some inspirational gems that resonated with us.

Whether you’re here for the music or the inspiration, this episode has something for everyone. It’s rare to experience an artist’s creative process so intimately—and even rarer to have this much fun while doing it.
