Speaker 1: morning to you. All right, the first question this will

7
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: be out of left field and you won't expected to

8
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: come in with all the interviews you've done yet, had

9
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: nothing like this before. So I'm watching your music video yesterday. Yes,

10
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: what's the car? What's the car at the beginning of

11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: the video. Yes, it's red, it's red. What is it?

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: It's an elf for Romeyo. You don't know, did you?

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: I had momentarily forgotten.

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: Did you know it's an elfin Rae?

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: I did know.

16
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: We did talk a lot about it the week that

17
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: we were filming down in Mana at this farmhouse because

18
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: it was the couple that owns the property there. It

19
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: was it was their car, so they had no way. Yeah, yeah,

20
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: I mean it's amazing.

21
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: So did you turn up to the farm and go

22
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: by the way? Do you have an elfa Romeo sitting?

23
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 4: Well?

24
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: We had basically emailed them and said, you know, we'd

25
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: booked the property right on a worm and kind of guy.

26
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: You know, we know that this is what the house

27
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: looks like, but we don't really know what sort of

28
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: props we might need to bring down for the week.

29
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: So we emailed them and said, you know, what have

30
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: you got on the property?

31
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 4: Have you got a ladder?

32
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: Have you got you know, kind of like a few things.

33
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: And then she replied and said, oh, we've actually got

34
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: We've got this car.

35
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh.

36
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: My gosh, we have to use the car. It's just beautiful.

37
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: And so do you know about cars or not really,

38
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: because when she said we've got this car, well.

39
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: We've got this car attached photo right on the email.

40
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: I'm not a big car gal, Like, I couldn't really

41
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: tell you how to change my oil in my car.

42
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: But it's a beautiful car though, Wasn't it a beautiful car?

43
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: It's a Fa Adult on the back of the.

44
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: Year which their last name was is sweet.

45
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: So yeah, so obviously there we go.

46
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: Having watched your videos, you seem to put a bit

47
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: of energy into the videos, which which is which wonderfully creative?

48
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: Do they materialize into success for a song? I mean

49
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: is there a direct connection between a good video and

50
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: the song?

51
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Not necessarily. I mean, I'm like.

52
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, I've opened up a Candra.

53
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: It's good because I think with every kind of visual

54
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: that you do, you know, there is so much content

55
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: that is constantly you know, we see it every day

56
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: with social media. It's like we're watching these little snippets.

57
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: I like to think that everything that we do in

58
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: terms of videos and music videos or little visualizes that

59
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: it does help with you know, people kind of absorbing

60
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: the song or experiencing it in a different way. But

61
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: in terms of like, is there a direct correlation between

62
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: making a video and therefore achieving x amount of streams

63
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: or achieving a certain amount of success, It's really hard

64
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: to know. I think it gives a certain life to

65
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: the song, and it helps you know, if you're watching

66
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: the video, it might keep you interested slightly longer than

67
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: all of the content that you're swiping through every single day.

68
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, in terms of I mean, the algorithm is

69
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 2: a very hard thing to compete with when you when

70
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: you're creating in your.

71
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 5: The old algorithm, the old algorithm.

72
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: It's like, artistry is so important to me, and you know,

73
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: you're you're balancing this idea of creating something that's meaningful

74
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: and having an emphasis on artistry, but then also going

75
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: what works.

76
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: You I have you at late twenties, am I right

77
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: in that? Okay? So your your whole career has pretty

78
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: much been in the space though social media, y ticket.

79
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: You don't go back to a time when it was

80
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: completely different. There was a record company and you had

81
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: to trapes around the countryside and you sold tickets so

82
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: that there was no social No.

83
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: No, I've always been independent, an independent artist, so you know,

84
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: I mean I remember getting a file and I remember

85
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: that very distinct like time in high school when that

86
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: kind of social media world was happening. But in terms

87
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: of like my career, it's always been navigating social media

88
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: and navigating you know, the kind of ever changing landscape. So,

89
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean, things are always changing, and there's there's a

90
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: lot of adapting needed and a lot of you know,

91
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: kind of pivot and going what's working and what's not

92
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: and what's.

93
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Your summation of it in totality, Because my argument has

94
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: been having interviewed a million people over the years about this,

95
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: is that in the old days, you had to convince

96
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: somebody you were good, whereas the advantage of the modern

97
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: days you can go to your bedroom with a bit

98
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: of basic equipment and put it out to the world

99
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: and be discovered. So there's good on both sides, I guess,

100
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: isn't there?

101
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure.

102
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: I mean the accessibility for anyone. I mean you could

103
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: record a song today and put it out on social media,

104
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: or you could put it out on Spotify, like, it

105
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: makes it a lot more accessible for people, Whereas you know,

106
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: twenty years ago you kind of maybe longer you had

107
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: to go through a record label. So I think there is,

108
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: like you say, there is positives and negatives to both.

109
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: I think there's amazing things about social media and the internet,

110
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Like my songs are being heard all over the world,

111
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 2: whereas you know that might not have been the case.

112
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: I'm from the bottom of the world, down here and

113
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: doing my thing and hoping that people.

114
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: Well, you're moving though, aren't you? You are moving to Nashville?

115
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Are you doing that? On the date you will be moving,

116
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: You've got a plane ticket and you will be arriving,

117
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: and you've got a place to live. Yes, So it's

118
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: all sort of a sort when's that happening?

119
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: Sixteenth of September. It's not very specific, No, not long.

120
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: It's come around very quickly.

121
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: And how what's been the process of that that it's

122
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: a calling you have to do it, or you'll give

123
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: it a go.

124
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: Or I mean all of the above. I have loved

125
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: for a really long time, you know, the idea of

126
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: living touring doing music within America. I've spent a lot

127
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: of time there. I've got a visa, an artist visa,

128
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 2: so I've done a bunch of tours and stuff over there.

129
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: I really love it. I love the bigness. I love

130
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: I feel like there's this this mentality where everybody's like,

131
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: you can do it, that's true, and there's something so

132
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: freeing about that as an artist and a creative feeling

133
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: like you're not having to convince you know, the person

134
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: next no Poppy, No, there's no tooll Poppy. And that's

135
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: a very rare thing here, and that's hard. And I

136
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: think every time I go there, I'm reminded of like, oh,

137
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: this is possible. The possibilities are endless, Like I can

138
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: always grow and and get better and get bigger. And

139
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: that's an exciting thing for me.

140
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: If you're fantastic, Yes, although they just just you talked

141
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: about social media. Have you put anything on your social

142
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: media that Marco Rubio is going to see at the

143
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: border and he's going to whack you in a nice cell. Okay,

144
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: so you're good to go to go. Okay, good? Now

145
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: this this this? So you got your EP? Yes, but

146
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: the tracks are already out? Is there an EP? Do

147
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: you do the EP A physical EP?

148
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: Yes?

149
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: Yep, do a physical cop. I love having a physical

150
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: copy of something good.

151
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: You don't do cassettes though, no.

152
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: But they are circling background.

153
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: I think the vinyls a thing, I think of becoming

154
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: a thing.

155
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: We did vinyls with my album that came out last year,

156
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 2: and I mean everybody loved having a vinyl.

157
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: Who doesn't having a bone until you discover you haven't

158
