Yeah? 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:55.400 Okay, I knew that I was special or different. Around 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:00.359 three or four, I remember people always asking me to 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:04.159 sing whatever song I knew whatever. I just remember being 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:10.600 at like family reunions and being that young and just like, okay, 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.479 I felt like a karaoke That's why I ended up 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.760 naming my publishing company Karaoke Music, I mean karaoke songs, 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.800 because I remember as a young kid, it was like 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.760 Carrie Sing, Carrie Sing all the way up through church retreats, 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.400 all the way up to high school, you know what 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:25.800 I mean. It was always that. So it was like 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.880 I was like, I felt like a karaoke machine. So anyway, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:29.920 as young as three and four, that began, I was like, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.839 why is everybody? But that would be the way that 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.640 that the only way that people would pay attention to me. 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.400 And so of course you're that young, you're going to 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.600 notice that pattern. It's just like, okay, when I'm singing, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.200 there's everybody's everybody stops, everybody stops, everybody's looking down at me. 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.800 And you know, so my mom said. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:50.880 She knew. 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.000 I guess around this she probably knew sooner she's let 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:59.400 me go to singing. Though singing, I would say, she 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.360 she finally believed enough to let me enter a talent 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:08.320 show in first grade, and she bought me sheet music. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.840 Well if I was begging for a few years to perform, 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:17.080 and you know, but she let me do that just 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.080 to see, just like, what's this little girl? 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:20.640 What is she? 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.720 You know? All I ever did anyone else? 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.240 Did anyone else in the family sing? 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.440 My dad used to sing. My dad would sing at 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:28.920 the fireplace with some drinks. 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:31.280 That's how he would wind down. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:36.920 He would come home tipsy and say, hey, everybody. He 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.760 would sit us down and perform for us at the mantle. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:43.360 Do you remember what he was saying? 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:51.440 That it might I'm sure my mom remembers. I'm sure 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:57.600 my mom remembers his audience his We were a big 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.560 audience though. It was seven of us, well six others 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.400 than him. Yeah, six family of seven. Okay, so we 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.440 had a big ass audience. So we would sit on 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.000 the couch, line up, some of us sit on the floor, 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.800 and Dad would be at the fireplace singing for us, 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.120 and we would just clap. We were annoyed a little 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:29.880 bit sometimes. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:26.880 Right, gig, I need you all to pull up. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.640 He's already talking to his pull up. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.680 Awesome, And my mom would be like, he's. 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:48.360 Drunk because I have one.

I'm great at pretty much everything I do, 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.479 you know what I mean. It's good at least. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:33.880 It's popular ship. This is this is what this is 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:34.679 for continue. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.840 I don't suck anything, you know what I mean, anything 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.040 you throw my way, anything you think because I'm a girl, 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:47.160 because you know what I don't. I'm just saying it's 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.240 from the way that. Yeah, it's a character trait. Greatness 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.439 is a character trait. Excellence is a character trait, right, 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:59.760 But it's also from being exposed to so much so young, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.160 you know what I mean. Just yeah, So when did. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.000 It become real? Like you as you're going through the 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.280 talent show process, I'm sure there were many of those 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.920 because it was a local thing. When does it become 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.000 like when does it get exposure on another level, maybe 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:21.920 a commercial or maybe a play, some musical theater or 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.199 a talent shows. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:31.120 No, it was I did do musical theater in elementary school, 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.040 and I remember doing a play at I believe it 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.840 was either the Fox Theater or the Rialito. But it 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.719 was like an African wedding. I didn't get to sing no, 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.240 but I was in it, and that was like the 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:49.480 bug that was like, I see, it's a full audience. Okay. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.479 If I was carried now, I might have just went rogue. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.319 I had a lot of moments where I felt like 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.200 it's real, it's nothing but a series of moments. Yeah, 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.360 it's a series. You got years in between them. Okay, 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.680 so I don't know the first one, but I remember 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.280 one of the big ones was joining the group under 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:13.239 Marvin McIntyre. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.240 Marvin McIntyre, Yeah, yeah, that was a big one. 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.920 They formed. I was fourteen. They formed a group around me. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.440 We were performing, We were showcasing for every label, all 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.120 every all of them, all the ones I grew up 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.240 reading in the credits, all of them. And we ended 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.240 up signing with Merlin Bob and Sylvia Rohne at Electra Electra. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.240 Yeah. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:44.320 So we never came out, but I don't even think 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.520 we got that far. And if we did, if we did, shit, 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.480 we may not have ever gotten it. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.080 I didn't get to y'all goody. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.840 No, I think it was actually a demo deal. I 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.960 think it was a demo deal. Yeah, a development deal, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.600 and so we disbanded before we got to that point. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:08.840 There's a development budget too, though, well just for everything 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:17.560 you say. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:26.040 So that's the real thing. And I started writing then too, 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.400 for the group. He's writing the songs that we would 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:33.600 perform years in. First we were doing covers and then 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.480 I remember this is it wasn't my first taste of 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.000 writing because I had a guy I went to church 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.960 with who had tracks and he was an ass He 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.880 was signed to ASCAP, and you know what I mean, 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.080 he was kind of in the mix. His name was Terrence, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:49.600 shout out of Terrence, and he would give me CDs 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.760 at church of instrumentals. So I'm like, finally I could 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:58.480 like write to something other than a song like me 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:03.360 having to erase the arrangement and the singing on top, 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.120 you know what I'm saying. Like I had to imagine 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.120 the tracks were instrumentals, but I was writing a whole 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.760 new songs over them, and and that was I was 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.760 successful at being able to do that, which is now 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.640 I think informs the way that I create now because 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:21.880 I can really isolate, you know what I mean, any player, Yeah, 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.480 they gave it a name. I can do that with 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.960 voices too, Like somebody could be talking in a room 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.600 and I'm like, I didn't hear a word you said 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:33.600 a word. 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:38.360 That's good and bad. 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.840 Yeah I do that, but it's hyper focused. So it's 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.880 if I'm hyper focused on something, I could oh. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.400 Yeah, yeah he's on out, I'm gone. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.120 I guess that means I'm hyper focused. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:56.520 A baby, baby, baby, Well this is my family member. 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.520 They're still alive. They grew up, They fairy fine, but. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.960 Like full steps, like stopped out. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.000 He had this trip moment. 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:12.000 What is going on? Prince was on TV and it 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:17.359 was my first time ever singing and hearing Prince. And 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.359 so for me as a kid, things would things would 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.480 hit my brain like and stimulate me in a way 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.240 that I didn't understand and I will completely be lost. 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:50.840 And I was just I remember walking towards the TV and. 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.800 I hope it wasn't like a dance. I hope you 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:45.600 were break out. 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:56.240 I just I just kind of stepped on the baby 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:02.480 and I remember screaming like what I look at his way, 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.560 So you stepped on the day. I didn't mean to. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:12.760 I mean to, And so I can zone out. That's 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:13.199 the point of. 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.000 The especially when music is involved. I remember those, y'all 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:16.880 remember those moments. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.719 God, now you can scare me, Like if I'm zoned out, 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.080 you could scare the ship out of me. You know 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:27.919 what I'm saying, Like my kids have done it. It's around. 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.680 Around. So he's stepping on babies. 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.359 Now you're writing, Yeah, I was writing songs, so I 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.000 was getting tracks and then it turned into writing for 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.480 the group, and that was real because he was like, well, 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.280 he put us all in separate rooms and he said, 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.320 here's the track I got. I want to see what 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.400 y'all can do. But had years, I had years. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.800 Yeah I got this smashed, yeah, real fasts. Yeah, I 0:18:58.000 --> 0:18:58.240 like me. 0:18:58.359 --> 0:18:59.880 They were coming to the room like are you done? 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.600 Are you done? I was like, yeah, I'm done.

Yeah, fourteen to eighteen. 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:34.879 How fast did you get in another group?
