1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Five years after the debut EP came out. Paige Tarpeta's

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: music has but while it's taken all around the world.

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: We first first caught up with her in twenty twenty one.

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Since then there have been three studio projects. She's a

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: big deal these days in Korea. Debut EP always growing,

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: that's gone platinum. She's actually just come back from South Korea,

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: having performed her first ever Asia headline show in Seoul.

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Her new p EP, which was out Friday. Page's Space,

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: which I quite like. Nice to see you.

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Good to see it?

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Pages space as your handle onial on social media. Yeah,

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: so it sounds good. I watched your video yesterday. You're

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: in Japan. I'll get to Korea in just a moment.

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: Do you like Japan?

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: I love Japan. Have you been to Japan?

16
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: I have been to it, And do you like it?

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: I love it.

18
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: I can't imagine people not liking it.

19
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: It's a very good way of putting it. People are polite,

20
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: it's well organized, it's buzzy and vibey in terms of

21
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: people in size and all that sort of stuff. I

22
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: just adore it.

23
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think because there's so many people that have

24
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: to be mindful of each other and I really love that.

25
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: But then Korea has a lot of people, but they

26
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: don't have that same.

27
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: No, you know, you've got hot in Korea? What's going

28
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: on in here?

29
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: Because I'm morson No, I don't know, because I'm great

30
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: mic No, I don't know. I think, like I, I

31
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: didn't know that music that wasn't K pop was popular

32
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: in Korea. But that's a bit naive of me. But

33
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: I've noticed that they like a bit of pop with

34
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: a hint of soul slash R and B, like neo soul,

35
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: and I guess because my music is that it kind

36
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: of works over there. But online there were some people

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: that covered one of my songs too Much to Hate,

38
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: like five years ago, and then it kind of just

39
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: started moving and then you know, tried to light the spark.

40
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: And how was the show and the headline act and

41
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: you're loving it, loving you?

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

43
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: It was great. I think it's it's so hard when

44
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: you're so far away and you don't know if people

45
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: are going to show up or whatever. Because streaming numbers,

46
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: you know, you can do streaming numbers, but that doesn't

47
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: necessarily translate to life. No, But it was cool that

48
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: people came, I.

49
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: Was like, oh, yeah, fantastic, So you'll be back.

50
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I really want to go back.

51
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Do you how just taught me through the journey since

52
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: you were here in twenty twenty one. So the last

53
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: four years, how's it been clearly successful? Plings are going well?

54
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's been. I mean being an artist

55
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 2: is rewarding, but it's also there's moments where it's soul

56
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: crushing as well. I think going to Asia, because I

57
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: went to Asia in twenty twenty three as well, I

58
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: think that felt really validating to me, kind of being like, oh,

59
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: people really like the music. That's great, Like you know,

60
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: there's something it feels like it's worth it good.

61
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. And creatively speaking, are you changing in the last

62
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: four years the way you're write before, the type of music?

63
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 4: Yeah?

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, I think yeah. I think it with

65
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: life experience growing. I guess my first EP Always Growing

66
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: was about kind of my early to late teen years,

67
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: and now I'm near like I'm hitting towards thirty, so

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm kind of experiencing more real life stuff, So I

69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: think that's really affected the songwriting. Stylistically, I think I've

70
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: stayed the same. I'd like to explore more R and

71
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: B type sounds. So it's kind of what I'm hitting towards.

72
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: How does that work? Creatively speaking, You're allowed to do

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do in terms of record labels

74
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: and pressure and all that sort of stuff.

75
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: You just be you.

76
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get like, I get a lot of

77
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: support in terms of I think they kind of help

78
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: ground me. They kind of I'm quite chaotic, so I

79
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: think about I want to do a million genres in

80
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: one album, which is what I did in my album

81
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: that came out in twenty twenty three, and they were

82
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: kind of like, you don't need to do that, you know,

83
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, you're true. Like they kind

84
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: of helped me put things into perspective a little bit.

85
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Because the difficulty from their point of view is because

86
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: you don't strike me as a person's got a huge ego.

87
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: So but but you know, well, well a lot of

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: people you know in the music industry got an ego,

89
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: and you got to tread carefully, you know, I want

90
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: to say something that creatively is going to send them

91
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: off into a mad fury, do you. But it's good.

92
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: It's good to get a bit of advice. The Jonas

93
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Brothers thing I can't get my head around. So so

94
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: you performed with them, right?

95
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

96
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: So how did that come about?

97
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: I I was just I bought tickets. The day that

98
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: I bought tickets, I was like, oh, man, I would

99
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: love to sing with them, just because I I'm a

100
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: big camp rock Disney Channel girl.

101
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: Yes.

102
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: So I started posting online being like I want to

103
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: sing with the Jonah's brothers, Like here's me singing my song.

104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: And I didn't think that they would say it. The

105
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: first video they saw, they commented, but they didn't really

106
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: give me anything, and I was like, Okay, I'll keep

107
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: trying because it was quite fun. It was fun for

108
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: everyone to watch that little Yeah Sigma.

109
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: Because by way, background, that's sort of how you started,

110
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: wasn't it used to do covers and stick them out

111
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: on social media?

112
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, And I've done a lot of Jonas

113
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: Brothers stuff before that, so it felt like a bit

114
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: of a oh, let me just see what happens kind

115
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: of thing. And I think also it's good training, like

116
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: mental wires, because as an artist it's so hard to

117
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: put yourself out there online and potentially embarrass yourself. So

118
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: it felt like good practice.

119
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyway, but next thing you know, you're standing

120
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: there with them.

121
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how good?

122
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Well was it everything you wanted and thought it was?

123
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: I think like doing music, I just want to do

124
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: it because it's so fun. And that was something where

125
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, why not just go all

126
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: in and just enjoy.

127
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: I reckon that's an age thing. Yeah, I think it is. Yeah,

128
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: I think that because we all wanted to sing with

129
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: our musical heroes.

130
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

131
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but one you've got the social media, so you've

132
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: got the access to be able to do it until

133
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: you come or you've grown up in an age where

134
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: I think, you, what the hell, why wouldn't I do it?

135
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: Whereas once upon a time you look you, no one

136
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: would think of doing that. So good on you. So

137
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: it's a winner. What are you going to play for

138
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: us after the break?

139
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640
