We were lucky to catch up with Pastor Jay Calhoun recently and have shared our conversation below.
Pastor Jay, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
I started Anointed Radio here in Las Vegas because I feel like there was a need for a gospel station that highlights the people that are doing great thing in the body of Christ and community
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Pastor Jaylon Calhoun is a Richmond CA Native and started singing at the age of 7 when he attended Malcolm X Performing Art Academy in Berkeley, CA. Then at the age of 14, he joins his first church Antioch Church Family in Antioch CA and joined the church’s choir and sung with that choir for 7 years and while on that choir won a few awards like the Bay Area Award in 2007 and then the How sweet the sound hosted by Donald Lawrence and Verizon and we won Best Small Choir in the Bay Area in 2008. Pastor Jaylon has started and directed a lot of youth choirs around the Bay Area and was also the Worship Leader for Pastor Dave Hollister. Pastor Jaylon Calhoun has now relocated to the city of Las Vegas, NV and opened up a Christian Radio Station called Anointed Radio Network and been nominated in 2019 for some awards for personal and for his Radio Station.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding part of being an artist is hearing the testimonial of the fans of my music and how they tell me about how my music helped them and got them through hard times.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
When I started Anointed Radio, the most challenging part was remembering my “Why” when I felt like there wasn’t support and traction like it should be I was empowered every interview when I heard the powerful story of my guests and just listened to the Anointed Radio App with the 24/7 uplifting gospel.
