The "Sky is Falling" single is written and produced by Shyra with French music producer Benjamin Franklin co-producing. Grammy winning and Emmy nominated Travis Payne (Michael Jackson, Prince, TLC) directed the accompanying music video to the single.

"I was working with my producer Ben Franklin, and I wanted something different multi-cultural with dancing," Sanchez said when I asked how the "Sky is Falling" single came to be. "He came up with the track...I came up with the melody, and the words just came."

Shyra said the single is about when loving someone brings feelings of uncertainty. I asked because I thought the title was a play on the title of the James Bond soundtrack song "SkyFall".

The single sounds like it belongs on a soundtrack, so I asked if she was open to writing and producing songs for other artists and she said, "Of course! I want to be a songwriter that's known. We have three songs on movie soundtracks now; John Singleton's Obduction soundtrack is one and one coming up I can't tell you about!"

I told Shyra she is just full of surprises.

She said, "Yes! I am! Big stuff is coming up in 2027!"

Shyra Sanchez is streaming at 3.3 million and her music video for "Operator" directed by Travis Pain also has 2.7 million views. That single reached #1 for two weeks on the DRT Global Top 100 Independent Airplay Chart and #31 on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart. The "Operator single hit #4 on the UK Official Big Top 40 Chart, positioned between BTS and Harry Styles. www.ShyraMusic.com

Tankard said the title comes from the many nick-names his wife has given him over the years.

"We've been married for 26 years," he said sincerely.

Ben is also celebrating 25 years of his ministry and launch of The Destiny Center.

"We got married and started Bible study," Tankard said when I asked about the 26 years of marriage and the 25 years of the launch of his church. "I never wanted to be a pastor. My parents were pastors and we were poor! The Bible study grew to 40 people...my wife said 40 people are using my bathroom! That's when we launched the Center."

However, this was after Ben Tankard became a multi-millionaire.

"I wanted to be a basketball player, but I got hurt. I played for five minutes...I was so depressed," he told me when I asked how he made his millions. "I went back to my roots...the church. Then....the minister prayed over my hands."

Tankard said his minister said that the piano was his gift and to go play it.

"I didn't know anything about Jazz...I never played piano," Ben continued. "I sat down and started playing Jazz...what you hear from me now."

Since then, his music has made him millions in revenue and has garnered him 16 Stellar Awards, three Grammy Award nominations, and eight Dove Awards. He is considered the Godfather of Gospel Jazz and has released 18 albums. "Tall, Dark and Jazzy" is his 19th. Ben debuted in 1989

"When I first made it, the first thing I brought was a mansion and an airplane," he said as if he still cannot believe the results to the miracle that happen to his hands that day.

Ben said that at his Bible studies he would tell them about how God did this for him.

"Part of my teachings is that you don't need a mega church to get rich," he stressed.

The Destiny Center, in celebration of 25 years, has moved into a new facility at Murfreesboro Airport where Ben has a fleet of aircraft and where his international headquarters for Ben Tankard Music is located.

"It doesn't matter how old you are, you have to learn patience," he said.

"Though I was kind of questioning Him (God)," Ben said with a slight laugh.

He was questioning God because of his career change from basketball playing to playing Gospel Jazz on the keyboard.

Aside from the new "Tall, Dark and Jazzy" album, Ben Tankard has relaunched his "Thicker Than Water" reality show as "Thicker Than Water: Empty Nest," and season two of his Podcast, "The Full Tank" which has had such guests as Dorinda Clark-Cole, hitmaker Mr. Talkbox and industry executive Benita Bellamy Kelley (The Bellamy Group).

"My door is a swinging door," Ben laughed when we talked about the meaning to the new name of his reality show, indicating the children are no longer living at home. "We had to assemble them for twelve weeks!"

So, they are not in the nest, but you might just see them on the Ben Tankard reality show.

Not only did God give Ben Tankard the ability to play piano, but he plays the drums (as a child), tuba (in high school), trumpet and guitar!  www.BenTankard.me www.DestinyCenterTN.com
