I spent my childhood in shadowy nightclubs, on the funky streets of 70s Hollywood, and in my own broken home, watching folks hustle, intently listening to them spin tales. I’m the only child of William Morris agent-turned-cookie entrepreneur Wally “Famous” Amos, and singer Shirley “Shirl-ee May” Ellis.

Most people know me as blues musician, The Reverend Shawn Amos. ![]() We get into a discussion about the book, all of his latest music releases, and how folks can start to 'reclaim their legacy'.
