8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see him when I walked in, so I

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: just went straight for the tea. I rated, I rated

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,400

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: don't know, three months or so ago, and then I

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: played it off the internet. Maybe and my life was

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: changed forever, not yet, but I did not. Maybe it

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: pretty long set for first, you know, first time out. Yeah,

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: I'm excited. It's a lot were we went through the

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: We ran through the whole set once in rehearsal, and

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: it was it went't good. I like to talk to

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like a nervous thing. I've

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: noticed that in some of your YouTube clips. I just

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: kind of go on and see what happens. It it

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: works out sometimes most of the time. I think you're

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: a songwriter. Yes, So what about did you right own it?

37
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: I didn't, I knew you did. I just want you

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: to say it. This is to own it from Bailey Bryan.

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: Here you got good bye? Yeah cool? Giuse? Who did

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: you write a song? I wrote it when I was sixteen.

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: Imagine if someone else wrote this song and I heard

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: it and I was like, oh my god, that's everything

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: about me. Um, yeah, that does happen though, Yeah, no, true,

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: because now I get other people say like who listened

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: to the song and being like how did you know

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: all these things about me? Like John Mayer sings? And

47
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's me exactly. So I refute your point.

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: That's true. That wouldn't I guess it wouldn't be that weird.

49
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: It would not. It wouldn't be that weird kind of

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: a dumb thing to say to all Right, well, I'm

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: full of regret. We're off to a great start. So okay,

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: so let's just start from the beginning here. So you're eighteen,

53
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: now nineteen? I turned nineteen like three days ago. Really,

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: so you can vote? Yeah, well I could. You can

55
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: buy lottery tickets, yes, Michael. What else can you do

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: an eighteen? You can buy cigarettes? But I don't smoke.

57
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: You shouldn't smoke. I don't want to smoke. I'm not

58
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna Probably the worst thing I could do, this disgusting.

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: What else can you do? Nod? Yeah? Did you know

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: she wasn't even born? When Tupac and her biggie was alive,

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: I walked in wearing a tupac. What a poser? Yeah?

62
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Can me two podcast? Can you name a couple? Yeah?

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: Name one? I'm mad at you. Okay, you went like

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: deeper cut two on the first one, so you didn't

65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: go like changes No changes is my favorite though, that's fair,

66
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: but it was on the radio. Yeah, okay, So let's

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: just start with you. Your eighteen now nineteen? Now excuse me,

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: you're nineteen. So musically you picked up a guitar star

69
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: plan how old? Uh? Twelve? Why? I always love to sing.

70
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: I would do all my like local talent shows and stuff. Um,

71
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: and I would do background tracks, and I got kind

72
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: of sick of that, Like you like, we'd go online,

73
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: go onto iTunes, find like the karaoke version. Okay, so

74
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: you have to buy background tracks and you don't want

75
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: to do that anymore? No, And I think my parents

76
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: didn't want to do that anymore. We would buy the

77
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: background track, burn the c D, give it to the

78
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: person running sound at the church talent show or something.

79
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know what, I feel like,

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: I'm ready to take it to the next level. I

81
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: want to be able to play the songs I'm singing,

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: and um, I always wanted to write songs too, but

83
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: it's it's harder to write a song if you can't

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: have music with it. And so the writing happened the

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: same time that the guitar playing happens. So you get

86
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: a guitar um and you buy it from just a

87
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: like a guitar store. I think my dad got online.

88
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: He got it from me for Christmas. It was a

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: jasmine takamini. Do you have it? Yeah, somewhere like in

90
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: a closet at my parents house. So you start playing.

91
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: How long until you play well enough to write a song? Um?

92
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: That came fairly quickly. I mean I UM, I didn't

93
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: really take formal lessons until like a year ago because

94
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: I got to Nashville and I was like, all right,

95
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: well I need to step it up because everyone here

96
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: is a good musician. Um. I just I like sat

97
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: down with a family friend who played guitar at a

98
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: church and I was like, can you show me the

99
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: easiest chords that I need to know, like to write

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: a song. And so he showed me, like ge my nurse,

101
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: and um I practiced like for hours every single day.

102
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: So I would say it was like a couple of

103
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: months and then I wrote my first song. So you're

104
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: thirteen or so, when do you go out and play

105
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: your first show with your guitar? Um. I'm trying to

106
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: think of like the first time I played for a

107
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: big group of people. I want to say it was

108
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: probably like my middle school talent show I did. Um. Yeah,

109
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: I want to see the first Like the first one

110
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: I can remember doing when I was was when I

111
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: was in eighth grade, I played a song that I

112
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: wrote for my my middle school talent show. And how

113
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: did that go? Over? Standing? Ovation? They go crazy? Yeah?

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: First place? Actually yeah, no, first place was to own it. No,

115
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: it wasn't own it. What a good story that, Yeah,

116
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: So you play your talent show and is it at

117
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: that point? Were you still going to be a singer

118
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: in your mind? Yeah? Definitely. You always wanted to be

119
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: a singer. I think the first um way that I

120
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: articulated what I wanted to do at a really young

121
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: age was I want to be a famous singer. That

122
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: was the when you're little, that's that's the for me.

123
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: That was like the the title that I wanted. And

124
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: as I've grown up, it's so I want to be

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: an artist. Yeah, the word famous? Yeah, that doesn't. That

126
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me as much now as it did

127
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: when I was younger. So you grew up in Washington

128
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: State and I love it up there, but it's pretty

129
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: secluded a little bit. Yeah I was. I grew up

130
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: in um one of the more secluded areas, UM little

131
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: town called Squim, Washington. And that's why I say my

132
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: the my first shows were school talent shows, church things. UM.

133
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: The way that I uh got people to hear my music,

134
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: I guess growing up was just taking my guitar and

135
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: playing on the sidewalk because I was in one of

136
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: those little towns and it was pretty spread out. We

137
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: had like a tiny downtown area, and I would I

138
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: would take my guitar and play my songs in front

139
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: of Jose's taco stand. Would you make money a little?

140
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Would you make tacos? I sometimes he would give me tacos.

141
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: You'd be like, oh, poor girls, she's standing out there

142
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: in the rainy person, a real person. He's a family friend.

143
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay. So when Jose's say I like it

144
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: that you're here, was he kind of annoyed that you

145
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: were there? No, Jose was Jose loved it. He Um,

146
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: he gave me a sombrero to put on the ground

147
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: for people to put money in. Okay, that's cool. Whenever

148
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: never I tell people that, when I say, gave me

149
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: some brother, Like did you wear some burrow and play

150
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: your songs? That might have been funnier, but I just

151
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: I just put it on the ground. So you're playing

152
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: out in front of Jose's on the weekends, ye Saturdays,

153
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: and so I'm assuming you want to move to Nashville.

154
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: Was that always the plan? Like you wanted to move

155
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: to Nashville? Yep, I think. Um as soon as uh

156
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: like Taylor Swift came out and I learned I was

157
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: die hard fan of hers. Um, I so I knew

158
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: everything I knew, Like she was discovered. I'm doing air

159
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: quotes but no one can see me. Um. She was

160
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: discovered at the Bluebird Cafe. And so I was like,

161
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: I need to go to Nashville. I need to play

162
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: at the Bluebird Cafe. And so that that was kind

163
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: of that That was I felt like that was the ticket.

164
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, Nashville is the place to go. Tell me

165
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: about your first time ever to Nashville. My first time

166
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: ever to Nashville. Um, it was like it was magical

167
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: it was, Um, I got to play at the Bluebird Cafe.

168
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: I just did it. Oh no, wait, no, that wasn't

169
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: my first time. Never, I'm sorry that my second time

170
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: just the open mic. I waited in line forever and

171
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: then didn't I didn't get to play. I didn't get

172
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: my name drawn. And so then I got to play

173
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: the next weekend because and then or was that it

174
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: was a week too far over the ticket because if

175
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: you don't make it, they give you a spot for

176
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: the next time. Yeah, no they did, so I got

177
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: to play the next time. They gave me a spot. Um.

178
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: But that was like my second or third time to Nashville.

179
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Um my first time, I just went. I was like,

180
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: we just have to go, Like I just have to

181
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: see the Bluebird Cafe. And um, I didn't know that

182
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: it was like in a tiny little strip mall. So

183
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: that that was that was a surprise for me. But

184
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: I you know, I did the Bluebird Cafe, I did

185
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: the pancake pantry. But um, my first, my very first

186
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: trip was it was a writing trip I got to

187
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: and that was when I signed my publishing deal when

188
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: I was fifteen. Um, I got to go down and uh,

189
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: it was just a family friend that we reconnected with

190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: who's not my publisher. She invited me down to write

191
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: for a week, like, see if I could do it,

192
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: see if I liked it, um, And she was like, well,

193
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: if you if I mean if you do a good job,

194
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: if you like it, if it works for you, and

195
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: will consider giving you a publishing deal. And I never

196
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: co written at this point, Um, but I did. I

197
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: wrote in demo nine songs in that one week, and

198
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: I just I fell in love with the process of

199
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: co writing and Nashville just being surrounded by music. And

200
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: at the end of that week, in the pancake pantry, UM,

201
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: at a table full of people, I signed my first

202
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: publishing deal. And so did that mean you were moving

203
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: to town? Are you going to keep coming town? Just

204
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: writing that meant uh, we're we're going to travel back

205
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: and forth. Um, So I would go every couple of months.

206
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: So travel back and forth every couple of months until

207
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: I was seventeen, after my junior year. That's when my

208
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: whole family moved to Nashville, which is quite the remarkable

209
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: story because you did you grow up in the same

210
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: house you like your whole life basically moved once your

211
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: parents they moved here too, like everybody pack family. Yeah,

212
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: I have take that cut from her. She's been trying

213
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: to lay down for like an hour. Didn'where it you

214
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: for noticing? I'm really helpless against you can't tell like,

215
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how do you use my arms? Um?

216
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: What was the question? The question was whenever your parents

217
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: decided to move down with you, Like that's a big commitment. Yeah,

218
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: it was, so it was. I mean, of course, it

219
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: was a couple of years, um in the making of

220
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: the decision, and it was like we kind of agreed

221
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: as a family, like everybody knew. But even before I

222
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: saw my deal, like my dream was to move to

223
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: Nashville and to write songs and play them for people

224
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: and recording the whole thing. Um. And so it kind

225
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: of just came to a point when I when I

226
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: was seventeen, coming to the end of my junior year. Um,

227
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: I it looked like I had some opportunities waiting for

228
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: me in Nashville. I had, I had a lot of songs,

229
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: was ready to like start recording and shopping to lay bowls.

230
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: And we just kind of had a family meeting and

231
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, either I can we can all

232
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: move now as a family at seventeen, I can finish

233
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: my senior year online. My little brother he's fourteen, you

234
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: do that your school online. Um, and we're a close family,

235
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: so that was one option we could do it. They

236
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: could help me get settled, or I could wait until

237
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: I was eighteen, win until I graduated, moved by myself

238
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: with my limited connections in the city, uh, and kind

239
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: of figure it out. And being such a close family

240
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: like my my parents wanted they wanted to set me

241
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: up the right way and make sure I didn't feel

242
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: alone and uh, just just that I was in a

243
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: good spot. And so after like a lot of like

244
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: thinking and praying, they were like, Okay, here's what we're

245
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna do. We haven't told anyone that we're gonna move.

246
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: We're not gonna tell anyone that we're going to move,

247
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: but we're just gonna like put our house on the market,

248
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: see what happens. And so that's what they did, just

249
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: this one website, no sign in the RD nothing, and

250
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: within twenty four hours we got a full price off

251
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: around the house and they sold and they agreed. So

252
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: what about your brother, were like, what he moved? And

253
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: he was cool? With Yep, he's the coolest kid on

254
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: the planet, probably always fifteen. Now his birthday was the

255
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: other day, Happy late birthday, Cooper, um. But he's amazing.

256
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: I think the reason that he was cool with moving

257
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: was because kind of just the way my parents raised us,

258
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: Like he knew that if what he was passionate about

259
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: and had opportunities in required moving across the country, they

260
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: would do it for him too. So it sounds like

261
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: your parents were always very what do you want to do?

262
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: Do you love what you want to do? And if so,

263
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: we love you and we're going to help you completely completely.

264
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it was. I think it's a good

265
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: in having having been in Nashville and like seeing and

266
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: hearing a little bit about like other other people doing

267
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: at my age. Like I feel like the trend with

268
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: parents is either the parent that's like Mama, your data

269
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: R type that's like I want my kid to be famous,

270
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: like pushing them to it, or the parents that are like,

271
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: get a real job, I'm not going to support your

272
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: music career. Um. And so I was really lucky in that.

273
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: I feel like my parents are some definitely somewhere in

274
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: the middle of like they never would have dreamed or

275
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: chosen for their kid to venture into the music industry

276
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: because they, of course it's scary as a parent um

277
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: or a person um, but they they never want to

278
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: be the thing that stands in between their kids and

279
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: their dream. And they they saw that it was what

280
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: I was passionate about. And they're the first people to

281
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: believe in me. Um. My little brother is annoyingly good

282
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: at everything, so he's still figuring it out. But he's Um,

283
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm like the weird musical one in the family. UM.

284
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: My parents owned a gym when we lived in squim.

285
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: Um little brothers great in school, great at sports, basketball, skiing,

286
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: nath um and kind of writing songs. Was like my

287
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: one thing. Like he's like he has everything else. I

288
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: have this one thing. Um. And about a year ago,

289
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: UM like right before we moved to Nashville, Cooper Um,

290
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: his name's Cooper. He was just like, you know, I

291
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: think I like, I'm interested in production. He's he he

292
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: likes music, but differently than I do. He likes the

293
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: like idi um, like chill, instrumental, all of that kind

294
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: of stuff like European. I think so secretly or maybe

295
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: maybe we are. I don't know, um, but yeah, he

296
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: likes all of that stuff and like kind of weird. Um.

297
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: I think it might be because he grew up around

298
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: me hearing me songwriting in the other room, just like

299
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: all the lyrics, and he's like, it can't have lyrics.

300
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: He's like, I want I just want the track exactly.

301
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: He totally picked the polar opposite. It's like like tronic

302
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: pop weird all that, but um, I was like, Okay,

303
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: that's cool. And like my parents, being the supportive, awesome

304
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: people that they are, they got they were like, okay,

305
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: what do you need. Like they're like, we'll go in

306
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: with you to get you the keyboard and the drum

307
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: pad and the software for your computer. And he just

308
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: would just spend like months in his room like I

309
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: did when I had my guitar, like watching YouTube videos

310
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: and just figuring out how to use this stuff and

311
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: how to like build tracks and everything, and he wouldn't

312
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: let anyone hear it. And then a couple more months

313
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: ago behind he's like, all right, barely, I'm ready to

314
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: show you my first song and he shows it from

315
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: shows it to me and it's already it's up on SoundCloud.

316
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Figured out how to use SoundCloud. I don't know how

317
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: to use SoundCloud. Um it's up and he plays it

318
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: for me, and I'm like, dang it, this is actually good.

319
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: You took my one thing. This was I was like, literally,

320
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: Cooper music was all I had and he took my

321
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: one thing and you did it in a cooler way.

322
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: But I'm proud of it. And now he's like got

323
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of a following on his SoundCloud and

324
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: every single like beat and track he makes it gets better.

325
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: So now yep, and I would I would love to

326
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: collab with him someday. He just recently started letting me

327
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: have input on what he does. When I traveled back

328
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: home for Christmas, my family moved back to Washington State. Um,

329
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: when I went home for Christmas, he was like, hey, Billy,

330
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: can you help me come up with a hook for this?

331
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: And so I was like, oh my gosh, I've been

332
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: waiting for this moment for the last seven exactly. I

333
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: was like, I'm writing a song with my little This

334
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: is like the dream for me. And he's like barely

335
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: stopped being such a dark I'm going to make you

336
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: leave the room like it's just it's just so touching.

337
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: I never thought I'd get to create with my sibling,

338
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: Like who gets to do this? Um? But yeah, we

339
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: started building a track together and I got him a

340
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: mic for Christmas so that when I go home, like

341
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: we can make like work tapes together and it's fun.

342
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: So I mean, he's probably just gonna rule the world.

343
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: So they moved back. You say, how long do you

344
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: live in town? Um? I think, okay, so I've probably

345
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: been here like a year here almost a year and

346
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: a half now right now or at the point where

347
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: they move now, ok, right now? Yeah? Um, And they

348
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: weren't even here a year. I want to say, I've

349
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: been on my own for eight months, so they were

350
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: here for maybe like half a year a little bit more. Um,

351
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: and they I think it's just like I got, I

352
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: got my feet on the ground and kind of got

353
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: this really awesome team around me quicker than myself for

354
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: anyone thought that I was going to um once the

355
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: like record label process started, Uh, it went, it went.

356
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: It all went pretty fast from there as far as

357
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: getting my team around me, and I had my routine

358
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: and they were still kind of struggling to put roots

359
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: down and like figure out like they were they were

360
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: my team and they are, but they like they were

361
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: taking me to meetings, making sure I was getting here

362
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: on time, doing all this, and then kind of once

363
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: I got my rhythm and it kind of became clear

364
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: like that, they kind of did their part that they

365
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: needed to do here and Washington is their home, and

366
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: so they went back. So let what were talking about here,

367
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: Let me talk about for a second. Let's talk for

00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: a small department? Yeah? I, Um so, I got roommates

391
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: for the first time, and um, that's been fun. It's

392
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: been cool. It's a little taste of like the college

393
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: type experience. I guess no. One of them is a

394
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: ballerina and the others a yoga instructor. But that's that's cool.

395
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: Though you don't really want to live with musicians, you

396
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: think it's so competitive. No, it's been really cool. It's

397
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: like a it's been a very um kind of just

398
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: chill environment to decompress. When I get back from radio tour,

399
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: from a ride or a meeting or whatever, to just

400
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: go and like just be with people that aren't concerned

401
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: with the same things that I have to be concerned

402
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: with during the day and like it's also fun because

403
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: like you meet other musicians, are other people who are

404
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: working in the industry, and like everyone's kind of used

405
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: to it to some degree. Like I think it's all

406
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: it's all really exciting for me, but everyone's kind of like,

407
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: well yeah, but people know I'm just kidding. Everyone's really

408
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: excited about you, um anyone anything else though, Um it's

409
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: so it's cool for me to like go like go

410
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: home and like tell my roommates like I'm going on

411
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: tour with Dan and Shay, I'm on the Bobby Bone Show.

412
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: I just wrote a song, and they're like, no way

413
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: where I feel like everyone else, like even when things

414
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: are exciting, like the people other people who are like

415
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: musicians or whatever, like it's almost natural just want to

416
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: play play down your excitement almost and just be like

417
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: oh yeah, well, like I'm probably gonna do that at

418
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: some point too. So it's fine for a couple of reasons.

419
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: One because you don't want to seem like you're cooler

420
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: than they are in your mind, and too there they

421
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: don't want you to be cooler than they are, like

422
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: the competitive place it is it is, and it I

423
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: feel like, um for me, like in the last like

424
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: a year and a half that I've been in Nashville,

425
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: I found that, like my musicianship especially has improved more

426
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: than it ever has before, just because it is still competitive,

427
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's one of the one of

428
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: the few places in the world where, like, at least

429
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: being me, you can walk into any room and know

430
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: that they're probably a better musician than you are in there.

431
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: And so I think that can either kind of squash

432
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: someone or you can use it as motivation to just

433
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: get better and rise to the occasion. Do you And

434
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: you may not, and it may take a bit, but

435
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: do you realize how uncommon your story is? Um? Yeah,

436
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: it's it. It occurs to me more and more as

437
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: I go on just getting a deal, like you're on,

438
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: You're on, You're on a real life, really well run label,

439
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: And I wonder how that process happens. So how did

440
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: you You're on Warner Brothers? Yes, and so how did

441
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: that happen? Um? Well, so my deal is it's a

442
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: it's a joint venture between Warner Brothers and Three Records

443
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: in New York. And um, I said, Warners handling most

444
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: of it right now. But they're they're doing a partnership.

445
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: And uh, I say that because it started with my

446
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: publishers took a trip to New York and they it

447
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: wasn't about me, it was that they were they are

448
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: my team since I was fifteen. They they developed me, uh,

449
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: set up, set up on my co writs and like

450
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: they were kind of all I had at that point.

451
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: But they weren't traveling to New York about me. They

452
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: were going to like pitch songs to labels that were

453
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: looking for songs for their artists. Um. And they went

454
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: into three hundred Records and they um, they like played

455
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: the song, didn't really connect, but like they were getting

456
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: along with the person they were meeting with, and they

457
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: they they were like, well, like what are you excited

458
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: about right now? Like what else are you working on?

459
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: And they played them on it, which was one of

460
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: the few songs I had produced at that point, and

461
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: they loved it and a couple a couple of days later,

462
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: the A and rc I flew down and met with me,

463
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: offered me a deal and then uh then uh, interest

464
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: from labels in Nashville followed, and I um, I felt

465
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: really at home in New York with three hundred I

466
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: got to fly down and meet all of them. But

467
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to have a home in Nashville, and I

468
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: got that same feeling when I met with Warner. And

469
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: then the rest is history. The rest happen. The rest

470
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: is happening. Yeah, I know that's true. You talk about

471
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: radio tour and so, I mean you're still a super

472
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: new artist. Um, So what you do when you're a

473
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: new artist is it. It's called radio tour where you

474
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: just go and every radio station in the planet and

475
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: you have to be in a great mood and you

476
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: have to take your guitar and singing conference rooms and

477
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, any sort of Hey, I'm really cool, and

478
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: Nashville goes away when you have to go to Iowa

479
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: for seven sales people completely, Yeah, And so it takes

480
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: you back down and that's good for a lot of people,

481
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: but it's it's exhausting. It's a it's a lot of travels.

482
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: Talk about radio to Yeah, I mean for me, Um,

483
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: like I was visiting like three or four radio stations

484
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: a day, which is which, as I've been told, is

485
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: not even as bad as Radio Toork can get. As

486
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: far as like full schedule. I was like dying in

487
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: the car the other day I just finished up my

488
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: eighth week, my last week. Um, I was dying in

489
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: the car, just like yawning, falling asleep, trying to stay away,

490
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: could like hide myself up for the next station. And

491
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: um my regional who I was she was like, man, like,

492
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: you don't even have the worst of it. Like I

493
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: was out with so and so last week and we

494
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: were hitting like five six stations a day and then

495
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: a dinner and then a show at night, and I

496
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, like, I don't know. I

497
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: think I think for me it's been it's been good

498
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: in the way that I didn't even really get a

499
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: chance to build up a ton of credit Nashville before

500
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: going on radio tour. So it's like, Hi, I'm not

501
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: very cool in Nashville. I'm not very cool here, but

502
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: maybe you'll listen to my music. Um, And it's the

503
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: downside has been I went from making YouTube covers and

504
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: playing on the sidewalk to five radio stations a day

505
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: and a conference room and a meet and greet and this,

506
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: and it's I think I think that's what made it

507
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: extra tiring for me, just because it's even if I

508
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: it's not the worst schedule, it was like, this is

509
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: this is a whole different, really world experience. It's it's

510
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: just so different than anything I'd ever been a part

511
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: of involving my music. But um, it's it's like you're

512
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: running for office completely. You have a song and you

513
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: would like people to listen to the song. You must

514
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: run for office to every station manager, every town that

515
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: you go to. And if you do one and they

516
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: have two stations, you got to go to both of them. Yeah. Ye,

517
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: So take me through a day. Take me through a

518
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday on a radio tour. Tuesday on a radio tour,

519
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: probably like a nine am lobby call if I'm averaging out,

520
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: like when I have to be in the hotel lobby

521
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: to leave. It. Would play many morning shows on radio tour.

522
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: I didn't do too many, not yet. One day not

523
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: big enough for the morning show. I did one little

524
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: one my first week, and I I learned from my mistake,

525
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: you need to warm up double because, like I know,

526
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: your voice is scratching in the morning. I warmed up

527
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: and I was like fighting a cold voice tracked in

528
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the first song. So I don't know

529
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: if maybe the fact that I didn't do any morning

530
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: shows after that has to do with that. But it's

531
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: gonna um if anyone, if anyone who wants to have

532
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: me on the morning shows listening to this, I learned

533
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: my lesson. I sound great now when you did our show,

534
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: we taped it at night because I'm such a giver.

535
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: You are so generous, like I will come up. I

536
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: want you to sound great. We're gonna do in the evening.

537
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: Really appreciate that it was very mediocre. I was really

538
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: happy with yea perfectly it was. It was yeah, really

539
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: find what I was going for. That's really what I

540
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: was trying. I don't I don't want to impress anyone

541
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: too much. Not trying to intimidate any right now, you

542
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: get so intimidated eighteen year old girls, I'm like, dangn

543
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: So you go. Okay, So Tuesday, nine o'clock, the lobby call,

544
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: You're down in the lobby. Yeah, down to the lobby. UM,

545
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: go to the first station you walk in. It's it's

546
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: anywhere from I feel like there's there's typically two scenarios,

547
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: and it's either like you and like two people like

548
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: the p D and someone else and sitting in the

549
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: office or conference room and you're playing for them, or

550
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: and it's more of like I like to make those

551
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: situations like it's just a conversation because another part of

552
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: going from the sidewalk to radio tour, I don't know

553
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: how to really stage something or like it's it's just

554
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: more like quote, we're gonna talk and I'm gonna play

555
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: my songs for you, um or it's um they have

556
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: the performance room and I'm playing for like some want

557
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: some listeners. That which that was. That was a trippy

558
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: part for me because I was like, wait, they knew

559
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: who they were entering to come see, Like they knew

560
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: it was gonna be me, whether or not they like

561
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: knew about me before they knew what they were getting into,

562
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: and they like chose to show up to hear me.

563
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: He felt like it was weird that people came to

564
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: see you. I felt yes, like I wanted to ask them.

565
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: I was like, so, really, why are you here? Like

566
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: really who put you? Like? How did you hear the room?

567
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: What was the did they did they pay you? Am

568
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: I paying you? And I don't know about it? Like

569
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: things like that. But that was always fun because I

570
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: got to I got to meet people and connect with

571
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: the just like the actual audience and that was so

572
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: I it was exhausting, but like this like my honest

573
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: answer whenever anyone asked me, like because because the radio

574
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: people will be like, so, like you're probably exhausted, right,

575
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: like you hate this, And I was like, I sleep

576
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: in the car, um, but I feel like if I

577
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: have to be exhausted doing anything, like this is what

578
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: I want to be exhausted doing. I mean, I get

579
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: to go in and play my songs and talk about them.

580
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: So you may say nine o'clock you go to radio station.

581
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: How long are you there for the first station? Um,

582
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: usually anywhere from like m M. I want to say,

583
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: forty five minutes to an hour and a half. Okay,

584
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: it's not eleven o'clock. What do you do now? Maybe

585
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: go get lunch if there's time. I stopped at Starbucks

586
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: like literally four times a day because that Starbucks is

587
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: the only place that's like everywhere, and I'm just like

588
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: addicted to it. Probably stop at Starbucks next day, spend

589
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: forty five minutes to an hour there, and you gotta

590
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: be up again, like it's the first time. You gotta

591
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: be like exactly, yeah, exactly, like the first season of

592
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: the day. I usually warm up in the car and

593
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: like I try and like talk to my regional about like, so,

594
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: how do you think that went? Like what can I

595
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: do better next time? Um? And then do it again.

596
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: Then go to Starbucks again. Psych yourself up. I was

597
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: really I was. I was really caffeinated. I'm not gonna lie. Um,

598
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: but they're like, oh man, this Bailey chick has a

599
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: lot of energy, not normally. I just was on my

600
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: fourth cup of coffee. But yeah, then do it again.

601
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's it's definitely repetitive. My if my

602
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: voice wasn't too tired, my last stasue and the day

603
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: was usually my best, just because like I'm finally getting

604
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: comfortable with the with the whole thing. Could you feel

605
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: some that liked it and some that faked like they

606
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: were liking it? Could you tell the difference? Um? Yeah,

607
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: I had a few. I Um, okay, this this is

608
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: either going to sound like I'm really unaware or as

609
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: long as you're honest, it doesn't matter how you sound. Yeah,

610
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: I think I think. Um more so, I got I

611
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: feel like I got people like trying to pretend they

612
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: didn't like it, Like whether you know you meet people

613
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: in days in the format you're not supposed to like

614
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: a song that might sound a little bit poppy. Yeah,

615
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: I think that might. That might have been that That

616
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: was probably part of it. And then just just sometimes

617
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: you meet people that want to want to seem like,

618
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: want to show that they know more than you. And

619
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm very like everybody. That's everybody, Yeah, that's every everybody

620
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: in an industry like this thinks they know more than you.

621
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: So my uh, the way that I try and deal

622
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: with that is just make it very known when I

623
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: walk into a room, I don't know anything. I know

624
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: I know how to play music, and I know I

625
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: want people to hear my songs, and I'm very very

626
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: I'll let you know the things and I'll play the songs.

627
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: Did that stations we're threatened because you have a newer

628
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: sound and maybe these people are have an older sound

629
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: and they feel like the newer sound might actually push

630
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: them out. Um like the radio at the people at

631
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: the radio stations. I'll give you all reference to give references.

632
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: When I came in, there was nobody like me, and

633
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: it was terrible, really terrible, and it was miserable for

634
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: months and year a year and months. And because I

635
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: think a lot of people felt like if I worked,

636
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: that means in this moment what they did didn't work,

637
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: and that wasn't the case at all, because there's room

638
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: for everything. Because they thought, well, here's this guy. Doesn't

639
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: wear a cowboy hat or a belt buckle. Okay, so Arkansas,

640
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: but he loves hip hop. He's done pop radio for

641
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen years. He was a grunge kid. I mean

642
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: I was, I was all of that, but I still

643
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: love country music, like that's how I grew up. And

644
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: they felt like, well, if this is how that it's turning,

645
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: then that's not me and that means I'm out, which

646
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: is not the case. I mean, everybody's realizing that now.

647
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: And I wonder if at all you felt like some

648
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: people felt like that toward you. Yeah, I got that.

649
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: I definitely got that vibe. I feel like I feel like, yeah,

650
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: I've gotten like nobody's I mean, I haven't gotten anyone

651
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: being really mean to me or grilling me about it

652
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: because like, I'm so cute and nice, I'm dude, probably

653
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: yeah right, look at all the pictures on the plow.

654
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: Thanks no, But like it's it's like then you hear back,

655
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I thought like you you think someone's

656
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna play your song, and then the feedback is like, well,

657
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: it's to your face, They're like, I love it, We're

658
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna play a week later. It's like, you know what,

659
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't do well with that. It's kind of it's

660
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: kind of playing into mine and everyone's biggest insecurity that

661
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: like everyone secretly doesn't like you. Um, but I think,

662
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: I think, I really, I really firmly believe that there

663
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 1: just is room for everyone. I think that if everybody's

664
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: music sounded like me, which I'm not trying to hide

665
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: the fact that it it is. It is slightly pop.

666
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: I lean different directions, but I think if everybody sounded

667
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: like me, then country music it wouldn't it wouldn't be

668
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: what it is. But if everyone sounded like Garth Brooks

669
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: and it would like the audience wouldn't be as diverse.

670
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: And it's so it's I I have faith that it'll

671
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: work because you and I both know that that I'm

672
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: delightful and no one can be mean to me. There's

673
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: a story for you, and I completely agree with you

674
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: because again I went through it to where it was

675
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: like he's not one of us, and I kind of

676
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: had to just weighed it out and prove because I

677
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: was awful when I got here. I was like a

678
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: bull in the china shop. I was like, screw everything,

679
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm just doing my way. I wish I wouldn't have

680
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: been so that way. I wish I had have been

681
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: more like you, perfect, perfect, delightful, but I wasn't. And

682
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: I came and I was like, I'm doing it my way.

683
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: It only my way. But the format, I'll talk about

684
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: that first. In general, the format is beginning to look

685
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: like this. There are it's the countries beginning to be

686
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 1: taught forty in the way of They're like four different

687
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: kinds of country music. There's the really traditionals. There's the

688
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: Justin Moore's and the William Michael Morrigan's. There's that, and

689
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: that has to exist, that absolutely has to exist. Then

690
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: there's the more down the middle stuff with the Keith

691
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: Urbans and the and then you can go to the

692
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: left with the Sam's, and then you can go to

693
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: the Kelsey's. And they're all these different little niches inside

694
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: of a bigger format, and the best of all of

695
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: them will rise to the top. The worst thing you

696
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: can say to me and I GE's Mike. What I

697
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: hate when people say I'm just like, you're out of

698
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: your mind, because there is no that's in each country

699
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: and every time. And and my favorite reference, I was

700
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: talking to Garth Brooks about this name dropped because I'm awesome,

701
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: and so I was like, hey, they said, tell you

702
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: you're not country names like BUTO told me I wasn't country,

703
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: he said, he said, I moved to town and they

704
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: thought I was a joke because I wasn't country. But

705
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: like he is, like now, not just in the way

706
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: of like he sounds country, like he is, he is

707
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: like the thing he's by the way, he's the highest

708
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: selling artist in American history period, not country all together

709
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: like Garth Brooks's country. And so but even my groundwalk

710
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: because I grew up in Arkansas and Johnny Cash is

711
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: from Arkansas, and so she was really into Johnny Cash

712
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: because when you're from a small town or from a

713
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: state that doesn't have a lot of famous people from it,

714
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: you really gravitate to those famous people. And she was like,

715
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: I remember when people would come and pick it and

716
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: say this is rock and roll, this isn't country, and

717
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,479
Speaker 1: it was Johnny Cash. But my point is you see

718
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: it every generation. It's so cyclical, and you know what's

719
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: going to happen in fifteen years, Bailey, They're gonna look

720
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: at you and go, Bailey, Then that's country. Whatever is

721
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: this whatever this Cooper E. D M. Crap is that

722
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: they're trying to make country. Yeah, like what is this country?

723
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: And it's it's always going to be a thing. And

724
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: if the format stayed exactly the same, this is what

725
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: would happen. It would die off because the people that

726
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: liked it would continue liking it, but nobody knew would

727
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: come along. Nobody knew in the form. I would die

728
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: And the worst thing that could ever happen is that

729
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: it stayed the same. And people don't like that, Like

730
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: I want to say that, but it's but it's the

731
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: It's redefinition is what growth is and what keeps things well.

732
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: And I say it because I'm a genius and I'm

733
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: genius like me, just like me, you should say that.

734
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: This is why we're friends. So you come to town,

735
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: you have a deal, you have was this going to

736
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: be your single? Like forever? Was like yeah, like we

737
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: want to put the song out. Yeah, it kind of

738
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: what we we threw some other things around, But I

739
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: actually like, did you were you ever going to put

740
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: borrow it? Is your song with your other single, borrow It.

741
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: Borrow Oh yeah, there was rented, there was borrow it,

742
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: but you didn't even like those you want those? Those

743
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: seemed a bit wishy, washy rent. I'm trying to I'm

744
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: trying to show everyone just my commitment to everything that

745
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: I do. Sure you're nervous. Are you nervous about this?

746
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean because now I own it. Just now it's

747
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: like time, like you've had years. Now it's time. Like

748
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: does it work? Is it? I mean, yeah, I think

749
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: I am, especially now like the ad. The ad date

750
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: was last Monday, and I think I'm definitely experiencing nerves

751
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: that I haven't experienced before. A date means for people

752
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast here UM radio stations all over

753
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: the country add songs every week to the playlist, and

754
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: when they add them first, they played the norl of

755
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: the night and you have to slowly get climbed this

756
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: terrible ladder and listen. I've been the biggest critic of

757
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: radio from radio, which is a weird place to be UM.

758
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: But so I have no idea how you did with

759
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: your idea, I would expect that you did. Okay, yeah,

760
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect it. Again, I don't know how he did.

761
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go from what I think I would expect.

762
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: There are so many people to go. You know, I

763
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: don't know about this. Yeah, it's probably Kelsey syndrome, where

764
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: when Kelsey came out and everyone was like, you know,

765
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, I think that's

766
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: what it's what it's been. I think it was. It

767
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,959
Speaker 1: was a good start, is the response that I've tried

768
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: to gauge. Nobody. Nobody really wants to tell you how

769
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: you actually did when it comes to things like that,

770
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: because like do you know your number? They didn't know

771
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: how many age you guys. I think they did. I

772
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: don't retain numbers very well, retain words like good, all right,

773
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: but slightly above average and so again, I don't know.

774
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: I should have looked it up, but I would imagine

775
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: it would have done all right, pretty good, That's what

776
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 1: I would have imagine, um and but with a lot

777
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: of potential to grow. Because it's one of those songs

778
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: everybody's like, it's it's not Traditionals are basically going to

779
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: be like, we have to get this on the air.

780
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: But you know what make songs get on the air,

781
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: people buying them, people being exposed to them, the internet.

782
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: Your music video, which I don't even see on TV.

783
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: It's a video I just hit a piece of online content.

784
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: But your your music video. It was cool because it

785
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: was you can watch it on the cell on your phone,

786
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: and it looked like it was like all the apps

787
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: and stuff flying through shot vertically. Yeah, so then it's

788
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: like it takes over your phone. My favorite thing is

789
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: watching people watch it on their phone because there's always

790
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: a moment of confusion. They're like, wait, you sent men? Wait,

791
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: why am I getting Who's wait? Oh it's you? Oh

792
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: and really my secret goal is just to confuse as

793
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: many people as possible. It's the only thing vertically I've

794
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: ever watched that I was happy it was vertical. Usually,

795
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: I like, why don't people turn their freaking phones to

796
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: the sun. How many years have we been doing this

797
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 1: that we're still shooting things like videos straight up and down?

798
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: So what we thought? What are we talking about? Her?

799
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: My blue apron? Let's talk about a blue apron for

00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: a big deal. Completely because they paid me to put

829
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: you on the list, well I'll take it. Thanks for

830
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: telling everyone. They actually didn't. Here's here's the true story.

831
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: I have a friend. I was like, you need to

832
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: hear this Bailey girl. And I was like, oh, let

833
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: me hear song. And so I don't listen to song

834
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: as ever, but this is a really close friend of mine,

835
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: and so I was like, oh and I heard. I

836
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: was like, oh, she's she's good. A said, I'm doing

837
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: this thing where I'm just bringing in brand new people

838
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: there to be signed. It's just people that I think

839
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: are pretty good. And so I invited you have We

840
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: had not met until then that day, Right, I wasn't

841
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: planning on putting it on the list, but you came

842
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: in and I'm gonna tell you what I really like

843
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: about you in a second because it's only one thing,

844
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: because the rest kind of annoying if it all sucks

845
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: one quality. And so you came in and you played,

846
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: and I was like, Wow, she's really good. And so

847
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: I was going through and I had like thirteen or

848
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: fourteen because I was like, man, they can really pop.

849
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: They can really pop. And I picked Luke Combs and

850
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: in the past last year was like, I've had Marin

851
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: and Kelsey and all Dominion like before they had their

852
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: big hit. So I have to like do pretty good

853
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: at this, So don't let me down. Yeah, I know,

854
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: I have to live up to the list. Um, here's

855
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: what I liked about you most of all. First of all,

856
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: you really can sing, and you can play what you

857
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: have to in this town. That's the weird things you

858
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: have to. When I was doing pop radio or sports

859
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: radio or rock radio or polka, I talked done at all.

860
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: You didn't have to, you didn't have to play. You

861
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: could just fake it. And but here you have to

862
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: play and you have to be good. And you came

863
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: in and you played and you were good, and then

864
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: you played I Believe a Drake song. And what I

865
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: liked about that was that you just didn't care like

866
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: you just played a Drake song because that was who

867
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: you were, and the best way to win and the

868
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: most honest way to win is to be you, and

869
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose a lot being you, But when you

870
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: finally do freaking win, it's because it was you who one,

871
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: not because somebody was making you were told you or

872
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: and the truth was too I was like, hey, tell

873
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: Bailey to come in, but he have something else just

874
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: in case. Like, but but you came in. I was like,

875
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: play the drag song because it was just who you were.

876
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: You were wearing a chance hat, and I was like,

877
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to hold her back

878
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: for me and who she is. I love the fact

879
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: that she is who she is. Someone didn't say you're

880
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: going into a country show, you need to play a part.

881
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: If I could say, I think you owned it. I

882
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: owned it. I did not rent it. Oh well, thank you.

883
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I that was a big deal to me,

884
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: and there was such a big deal that I was like,

885
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: I gotta put it in the class because she's good

886
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: and I love the fact that she was just her.

887
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. I'm so glad it wasn't someone else,

888
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: because if you would have come in and you would

889
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: have acted like I have been like, Hi, y'all, what's up.

890
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm bailey. People do that? You think you're making a

891
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: joke all the time. Do you know how many people

892
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: come in and you can see through it immediately. A

893
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: lot of artists come in, they put on a little accent,

894
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: they put on a little show, and you didn't. You

895
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: didn't do that. But there's some really terrible ones. I can't.

896
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: I think. I think I'm I'm happy that I got um,

897
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, um, this is, this is. I never want

898
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: to sound like I think that I have a lot

899
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: of experience in anything, because on the whole, I am UM.

900
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: But but I had I mean, I had the three

901
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: years just traveling to Nashville and writing, and I think

902
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: I'm happy that I had that time to uh just

903
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 1: figure out who I was. I guess without without really

904
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: anybody's eyes on me, I was, I was my I

905
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: was lucky to have my publishers uh developed me in

906
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: a way that they were just like just just go

907
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: in and like write what's on your heart, just like

908
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: figure it out. And you you still walk into some

909
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: rooms like in a co write and feel the pressure

910
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: to act a certain way. I'm like, okay, have I

911
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: have to like, I don't have it. I don't have

912
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: enough ballads right now, so I need to write a ballad.

913
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: We need option for that, or I need to write

914
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: an uptember where I can't write another love song or

915
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: breakup song or whatever. Um And so you know, you

916
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: know I did that. I had those days when I

917
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: would walk into a co write and like try and

918
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 1: fit into a box in it. I experienced in that

919
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: that that never ever works for me. It's always a

920
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: crappy song if you do that. And I think I

921
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: found that a lot of that type of situation. Um,

922
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: it applies to things other than writing songs. Life life.

923
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: It's like I'm talking to soccer teas right now, Mike drop,

924
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: Except for the mics on a stands, it would be

925
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: more like a mic, don't don't. I don't drop that one.

926
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 1: Here's Bailey doing Drake on my show. I don't know

927
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: how to talk to you. I don't know how to

928
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: excuse your Okay, my friends always feel the need to

929
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,959
Speaker 1: tell me things. It seems like they're just happier than

930
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: us these days. These days, I don't know how to

931
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: talk to you. I don't know how to be there

932
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: when you need me. It feels that the only time

933
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: you see me, it's good and you love it, and

934
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: you should always play with you love people, and people

935
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: are gonna tell you, and people are gonna tell you

936
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: the other otherwise, Like you need to do this and

937
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: do that, and if you just just stay true even

938
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: though it sucks sometimes at least you can fail being you.

939
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: And then one year we're gonna talk. We'll talk before

940
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: one year, but in a year we'll do this again.

941
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: And I imagine we're gonna talk a lot next year anyway,

942
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: but we'll do it again. You're gonna feel like you're

943
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: a completely different person. Yeah, I believe that completely. And

944
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: then in another year, you're gonna fel like the same

945
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: thing with Kelsey, Like you know, I had new Kelsey

946
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: before she signed a deal. She's a whole, she's a

947
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: completely different human. I mean, I'm a different human. So

948
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to watch you kind of grow

949
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: because you're good. You are good. Thank you, You're actually

950
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: you're really good. And I like it that you're nineteen

951
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: now and just you're not letting people tell you who

952
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: you need to be as a nineteen year old, and

953
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: that's hard for a nineteen year old. Thank you, Thank

954
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: you you lived a couple of lives beforehand and learned

955
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think. Yeah, I'm mean, the change

956
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: happens so quickly. It's cool. I mean, everybody just goes

957
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: through growth in their life, like I mean, especially if

958
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: you're nineteen and stuff. It's it's cool being a songwriter

959
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: and experiencing growth because I haven't. I have it documented

960
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: and the things that I've written and the the YouTube

961
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: videos and the whatever. So it's it makes it makes

962
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 1: it feel like even more time is passed almost because

963
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: like since I've moved so like just so many things

964
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: have changed and I've I've learned better how to own it. Yep.

965
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: I went, okay, well all right, can we say something else, Bobby,
