It's so associated with growing up and memories 53 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: and you know, just in so many ways and you know, 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: good time, bad time, uh and and between times and 55 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: so you know, my music, uh, it is a blessing 56 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: because it spans so you know, continuing on. But you 57 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: know it represents um, you know, always a good time 58 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: for people and that makes me happy. But what makes 59 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: me happy is that she and a person who you know, 60 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: has has to sustain career relevance in this entertainment business 61 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: because I've been in it, you know, for a long time, 62 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: and being in it, you know, trying to stay because 63 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 1: it's such a hard business because you can get and 64 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: the discrimination happens, or ages and happens, sexism happens, and 65 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: you know all those things, well you know, who is 66 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: she or what has she done later? What has he 67 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: done later? What have they done lately? That really permeates 68 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: really big in the entertainment game. It's kind of sad 69 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: because of the fact that there's so much uncertainty in entertainment. 70 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: How did mentally from a mental standpoint, how have you 71 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: been able to cope with that? Jody? You know, I 72 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: think throughout my life I'm very focused. I've always been 73 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: a person that UM has tried to have balance in 74 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: my life, which is very important in any profession. And UM, 75 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, never get too highs at the highs and 76 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: too low at the lows. And you know, it's always 77 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: been important for me to UM, to be authentic and 78 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: what I do, uh, to learn the business because I 79 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of people get messed up getting in 80 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: the entertainment industry and I did started as a teenager. 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: But I've always been business minded. I mean when I 82 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: was in junior high school. Um, I would I had 83 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: I call him side hustles. I was so close for people, 84 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 1: I'd make pillows at my dad's church, or fry fish 85 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: and and bake cupcakes to make money. We're gonna chicken 86 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: and all that little bit later. Don't behind this stuff earlier, 87 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: So I understand. So my journey has always been and 88 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: I think that really has helped me sustain in this business. 89 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: The uncertainty is because I've never been afraid of the work, 90 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: never been afraid to say no, um, and very meticulous 91 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: about what I do. And so if someone has I'm 92 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: not just enough, I'm not that enough, it never really 93 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: faces me. And I think it's important in life that 94 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: you have to believe when no one else believes, and 95 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: to keep doing the work in find ways to get 96 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: it done. If if doors, I mean doors have closed 97 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: on me, and I've opened new doors for myself because 98 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm continuing to do the work, you know, um, And 99 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: it's very important and it really is important because really, 100 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: when I look at your career, you know, because you've 101 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: had success in a group okay Salama, and then you've 102 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: had tremendous success as an individual artist talk about working 103 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: with people and then the burden of being a solo artist. 104 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: There are different different things. That's a task when you 105 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: buy yourself and you don't have nothing that nobody to 106 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: lean on but yourself, and the decision and the appearances 107 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: all on you. So talk about the success in a 108 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: group and the success as a solo artists just from 109 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: an entertainment standpoint, so people can understand the difference. Well, 110 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, being in a group, being the only girl 111 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: in the group and not actually being protected was very 112 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: challenging for me, and you know it made me um. 113 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: You know, again, I had to be tough, I had 114 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: to carry myself in a certain way being a woman 115 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: in the business. If you're not kind of flighty or whatever, 116 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: you know, you get labeled things that aren't always very flattering. 117 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: But again it's like I know who I am and 118 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: I learned learned from it. So going solo actually has 119 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: never been a burden. Actually it's been such a blessing 120 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: because I get to do I get to own it 121 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: and to be in control of it and take people 122 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: to work with and not just do what I'm told, 123 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: but to really craft. I've been able to really craft, 124 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: uh my own niche as an artist. For you know, 125 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: I've been a solo artist now for over thirty five years, 126 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: um and seven years before that and Shalo Marso I've 127 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: been you know, on this, on this journey. But then 128 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: a solo I like, I like running my own business, 129 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: I really do, and so it's a joy. It's like, 130 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot of responsibility picking you know, 131 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: musicians and producers and um, but I'm about the business 132 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: and so so I enjoy all the aspects of this. 133 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: But you're live performer, and we know the value of 134 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: being a live performer. And the downside was the pandemic 135 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: they are nobody saw our comming. I knew. I didn't 136 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: see it coming, and not to the extreme when they 137 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: talk about shut down, you know, because that really doesn't 138 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: hit you what they're talking about until it actually happened. 139 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: What does that mean shut down when you're talking about 140 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: venus or close? Was they're talking about, you know, restaurant 141 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: your clothes? And how did that whole process in your mind? 142 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: How was it starting the process as being just what 143 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: they're talking about shutting Now? How did that whole process 144 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: work for you? Because I'm jiousing it freaked me out. Okay, 145 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: I think it's it had to freak all of us out, 146 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, at first, actually, to be 147 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: honest with you, one of the first things that I 148 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: thought about was, I'm glad I've always lived below my 149 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: means and above my means because you know, I'm glad 150 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: that I'm a songwriter. And I thought, you know, God, 151 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: thank god I'm a songwriter, because I'm really going to 152 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: be living off my royalities now because there's not gonna 153 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: be any concerts. And you know, two months into it, 154 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: I went through a moment where I felt kind of that, 155 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: you know, because I like to hustle bus I love 156 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: performing and just you know, having this moment of pause. 157 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: I've always taken time off here there, but to actually 158 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: be forced into it um and so we're trying. What 159 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: I've really done is trying to find new ways to 160 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: keep myself busy, create some new revenue streams for myself. 161 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: And it's very important to again is not be defeated 162 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: by the situation, to find ways to make things happen. 163 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: And so you know, that's what I've been doing. Well, 164 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, not to understanding that you have some facial masks, 165 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: are they out now they're coming out.
