The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

What if the hardest battles you face are not on the battlefield but at home, within your own family? Walk with me through a narrative shaped by love, family values, and the unwavering call of duty. Raised by the guiding hands of my grandparents, I once dreamed of playing baseball for Norfolk State, only to have my path altered by the persistent encouragement of Marine Staff Sergeant Robinson. This pivotal choice led me to the Marine Corps, a decision forged in conversations with my parents, blending family legacy with personal ambition.
Experience the raw and unfiltered journey of transitioning to military life and the profound transformations that come with it. From the trials of boot camp at Parris Island to the camaraderie and heartache in Iraq, every chapter reveals a piece of my soul. The bonds formed, the lessons learned, and the emotional scars acquired in the heat of combat paint a vivid picture of resilience. Yet, upon returning home, the battle shifted to one of financial betrayal, a stark and painful reminder of vulnerability that left me grappling with anger and loss within my own family circle.
As life marched on, so did the challenges. From the unexpected end of my Marine Corps career to navigating the complexities of divorce and co-parenting, the journey taught me to prioritize personal peace, even amidst chaos. A turning point came with setting boundaries, embracing forgiveness, and finding new solace in podcasting. The support of loyal friends and my own growth paved the way to healing and self-discovery. Join me in exploring the intricate dance of maintaining relationships worth more than money, and the relentless pursuit of peace in a world that often tests the limits of our endurance.
