“The War and Treaty – Mike Ivory Moves On”[/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”alert-info” style=”3d”]On this special series of episodes, I wish to introduce you to a very special married musical couple.  They are a wonderfully talented duo, and they happen to be very dear friends of mine.  They are Michael Trotter and his bride Tanya Blount, also known as The War and Treaty.   To start this journey, I want to share PART TWO of my first conversation with Michael Trotter from 2012.  His stage name and songwriting persona was Mike Ivory back then, and his contribution to the show was genuine and on point.  Over the next few years, I would realize the scope of prolific talent coming from the heart of this thirty-something musical artist and veteran of the U.S. Army.  Grab some refreshment, and enjoy the show!![/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text h1_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927031}” h2_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927031}” h3_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927032}” h4_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927033}” h5_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927033}” h6_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927034}” p_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927035}” link_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927035}” list_css=”{.vc_customizer_1436538927035}”]

Faith, Family and Music. Ok, it sounds cliché, but it’s the center of everything I am. All I do and am comes from God and my love of family drives my message of power and purpose to teens and the people who encourage them. I speak professionally to teens, young adults, parents, educators, youth pastors and anyone else who can make an impact. I’ve also got a band that writes and plays music that aligns with my message and assignment.[/vc_message][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”11505,11506,11507,10316,10315″ onclick=”custom_link” custom_links_target=”_self”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video title=”The War and Treaty” link=”https://vimeo.com/124173340″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][ivan_info_box ico_family=”fa fa-” position=”left” vertical=”no” align=” default-align” style=”circle” size=”64″ main_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000793}” icon_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000794}color:#dd3333;background-color:#1e73be;” title_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000795}” content_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000795}” ico=”music”]Please visit The War and Treaty’s website:
