66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: And uh. Every now and then, UH, I think time

67
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: like this year, I'm getting this fall, I'm going to

68
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,480

Speaker 1: CBS called The Neighborhood. I love this guy. You know

70
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: some about Kirk faf is that, first of all, he

71
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: is a natural hustler. Okay, when I say that is

72
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: that is that he would do a job, but it

73
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: doesn't stop. He will improve on the job, which is

74
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: very important because a lot of people don't understand that.

75
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: They think that you know, you do your job and

76
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: just stop, he continued. Wants to improve on the brand,

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: he continued, and wants to say I can do better.

78
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: And that's that's an important part of your business model,

79
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: isn't it, Kirk? Yeah, another important part of this. I

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: don't turn down nothing but my collar I'm not doing that,

81
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, because you don't know everybody thinks that that, uh,

82
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: in our business, that they that there's people that know

83
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: every single thing that's going to happen, and there's the

84
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: sage or advice. Let me tell you something I don't know,

85
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: and I and I accept that if I, if I

86
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: knew everything that's gonna work, what every show that was

87
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: going to be a hit? Okay, for instance, if I

88
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: knew everything that was gonna happen, my butt will be

89
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: bronzed and standing out in front of Sonny Sony pictures

90
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: sing go that way. But but I don't. I mean

91
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: I I have I have examples of it of me

92
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: not knowing so well so one or two times that

93
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: I did turn down things and that that turned out

94
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: to be pretty big. I can I can give you

95
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: an example Proud Family, which everybody knows now. But when

96
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: Proud Family first started, Proud Family was on Disney Channel

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: in the early early years, when when it just really

98
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: it did not pay a lot. It wasn't it wasn't

99
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: a big status, simple thing to be on Disney Channel.

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Uh at the time, you know, it was just they

101
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: were just getting it going and they were doing great,

102
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 1: great work, but just getting it going and be honest

103
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: with you, at that time, all of my shows were

104
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: network shows, UH CBS and A E c N and

105
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: up n box, you know, so there wasn't a big

106
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like the thing to do would be

107
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: to go and do something on the Disney Channel. But

108
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: I did, you know? And when against agents and folks

109
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: sing why would you do? That? Time wasted? You know? Okay, right?

110
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: How would I know? How would I know that, uh

111
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: that that that Destiny's Child and the salons we're going

112
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: to come on and sing the theme song? That show

113
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't be that was a big deal for me and

114
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: a very helpful thing in my career. And how would

115
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I know? How could I possibly know that years years

116
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: after the show was off the air, we were I

117
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: hadn't been working on it in several years. And and

118
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: how would I know that Disney would buy ABC Network

119
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: and then and that they would have to they needed

120
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: to have uh Saturday morning cartoons, and they wanted an

121
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: African American show on Saturday Morning cartoons. Well they had one.

00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: Let's go back to black lineing my my favorite show. Okay,

187
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: and I say that because of the fact that you

188
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: use the word relevant, you know, staying relevant. The music

189
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: that you're putting on that show is the exciting show,

190
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: something to see w about it basically a superhero family

191
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: and well, HOWD walks through the steps of how you

192
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: can pose a show like that? Okay, So show like

193
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: this is it's not just me in a corner, you know,

194
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: by myself doing this. Like the majority of the songs

195
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: if you look at a lot of the song twists

196
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: and you're saying, boy, it takes a lot of a

197
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: lot of boy. Just the recall and for all of that,

198
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: the show's producer and creator, Selima Kill comes in with

199
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: a lot of this. They have a brilliant um music

200
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: supervisor here, Lehman, who's just this. This guy's phenomenal is

201
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: done so many shows and movies out there, and uh,

202
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: he's just a brilliant, brilliant guy and he's the primary

203
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: person for for for getting songs in there. The editors,

204
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: the picture editors on the on the show, they're grab

205
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: they're grabbing songs from them. I write, I write all

206
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: of the orchestral store and stuff like. So you having

207
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: all this, you having everything from Stairway to Heaven to

208
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: uh to uh Nino simone to do anything. Uh, some

209
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: of the latest hip hop stuff too. You know, you're

210
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: having all kinds of trap music and blah blah blah

211
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: and and and now and and how do you how

212
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,239
Speaker 1: do you tie all that together? And now the orchestral

213
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: things that I'm doing have to it can't feel like,

214
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: here's these songs and then snatch you back and here's

215
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: the orchestral thing, and here's these songs. And it has

216
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: to feel natural. So sometimes you will uh, you will

217
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: see me start within like a trap beat and incorporate

218
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: that into the orchestral thing. Uh and and and and

219
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: smoothly come out of it. So you don't know where

220
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: the song ended and and and the score began, and

221
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: so vice versa. You don't know where where I stopped

222
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: my score and where a song ended up. You're halfway

223
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: in it before you can That's something else. And this

224
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: is a this is a complex, interesting way of doing

225
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: music and it makes you feel and it makes it

226
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: feel more organic and natural. It doesn't feel like it's

227
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: just like it's just dropped in. Oh they needed a song,

228
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: dropped the song in? You know. No, it feels like

229
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: it feels like it's all one big organic moment. And

230
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: now that I believe it's a lot to do with

231
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: why people are so so taken with it, you know,

232
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: because you're in the moment before you figured out jeez,

233
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I don't know what the

234
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: grouple people. I know it's Selene. I don't know the

235
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: group of people want Okay, you're a bad man, Okay.

236
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: You know because because because it is about being in

237
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: the moment, Because like I said, certain music can't overwhelm you.

238
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: You know, a certain music, you go, it could be

239
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, you listen to the score, you go, why

240
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: they playing that music now? And they are a standard

241
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, scary music when they're supposed to be scary music,

242
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, romantic music, and when just supposed real romantic

243
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: music either, but it's not organic. Your music on the

244
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: on this particular show that we're talking about, black Lightning,

245
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: which is on the c W, is a very it's

246
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: organically played out. But it also goes back to you know,

247
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: you have a catalog. You're one of the most successful

248
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: music catalogs called true music pro dot com. Tell everybody

249
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: exactly what that's all about, True music pro dot com.

250
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, to be honest with you, years ago,

251
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: uh well well, uh thirteen fourteen years ago, I was

252
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: toying with the idea of actually tiring of you know,

253
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: saying and I looked back and I said, you know something,

254
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: I I didn't feel like I had done anything enough.

255
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: Just in my head. It's not you know, like here's

256
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: some rule that you have what you have to do.

257
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: But I didn't feel like I had done enough for

258
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: others trying to get into this, and people that that

259
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: always come to me, how do you get into that?

260
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: I get major recording artists to come up and nask

261
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: me how do you get into television and film? Game?

262
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: You know, and because they know that at some point

263
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: or another, you know, you get a little bit older

264
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: in in the pop world. You know, you're sleeping. Yeah, yeah,

265
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: you gotta make that money while you're sleeping. Uh and

266
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: and and and I started I started thinking, how could

267
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: I help some of these folks get in, and I

268
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: started seeing the changes. Also again checking the trends, I

269
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: started seeing the trend that people were using more songs

270
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: in in scores, in in the scoring of television shows

271
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: and movies. And I didn't think that that was going

272
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: back the other way. I didn't think that once that

273
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: Jennie was out of bottle, it was almost mystically going

274
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: to stop. And so, and I also knew that this

275
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: was with with the library, you could get a person

276
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: that has never done anything in television or film in.

277
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: You get them an opportunity to get in and and

278
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: and within the first five years, not only had I

279
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: gotten just thousands and thousands of songs, and we produced

280
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: all of these songs through True Music with me overseeing it,

281
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of just really brilliant artists. I mean,

282
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: some of these people are way more, way more brilliant

283
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: talented than I, and they just haven't had that opportunity

284
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: to get in, uh, to this, to this world. And

285
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: I would say over the people that are instru music

286
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: had never but many of and with golden platinum records

287
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: on their wall, had never ever had anything on television

288
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: or in a movie, you know, And so they went

289
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: from that to to getting bored with how many things

290
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: that they were getting because of because of the fact

291
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: that they're part of your catalog and you can go

292
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: get their music and and and and and scored with

293
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: their music. Right, yes, yes, you can use the songs.

294
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: And these songs turn up in in TV shows and

295
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: movies there and all my shows from like the Quad

296
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: was full of true music, uh, in contempt on BT

297
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: was full of true music. You hear true music on

298
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: on Black Lightning. You're gonna hear a ton of it

299
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: in uh in the neighborhood and look sex to say,

00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: you said, I'm gonna being my award winner. But within

301
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: five years, you know, and this isn't really important what

00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,240
