On Air With David Duane w/ Special Guest: Candice Glover & La'Porsha Renae

As a little kid Candice Glover was so shy that she could only sing for her parents—and even then asked them to listen in from the other side of her closed bedroom door. Over the years, the golden-voiced Glover worked through her stage fright to become the star of her school chorus and a frequent soloist in the church choir in her hometown of Beaufort, South Carolina. After auditioning for American Idol three times and twice getting cut before making it to the live rounds, Glover scored a spot on the show’s twelfth season—then used her pure and powerful vocals to emerge as the season winner. With her coronation song “I Am Beautiful” entering the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs chart at number five, the songstress offers up a debut album that brings her rich voice and stirring delivery to a bold fusion of soul, pop, and R&B. 

La’Porsha Renae was introduced to the world via the stage of the 15th and final season of American Idol.  Although American Idol is the medium that introduced La'Porsha to the world, she has been signing since the tender age of six.  She vividly recalls singing "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys in her mother's beauty shop.  La'Porsha grew up singing for her mother's clients but had no idea that she would one day share her talent with the world and become the runner up on one of the most popular talent discovery shows of all time. Since American Idol, La'Porsha has been signed to 19 Recordings/Motown Records.  La'Porsha's single "Battles" was tapped as the theme song for the gold medal-winning U.S. Women's Gymnastics team at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.  From McComb, Mississippi to American Idol, La'Porsha is now ready to reveal everything that she wasn't able to on the show.
