Speaker 1: But I want to say that y'all have been in

8
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: this business for such a long time. Some people see

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: the success that you've had as DJs. You have an

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: EP that came out in February that is a meditative

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: house music combination EP.

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: Which I love. It's called Free.

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: But you also are you know, eyewear designers, and that's

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: something you've been doing for a long time. As a

15
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: matter of fact, when I first met you, guys, that's

16
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: what you were doing.

17
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: And I want to say, I don't even know when

18
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: we met.

19
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: I think like two thousand and eleven or ten or something.

20
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: I should have bought my Cocoa and Breezy glasses because

21
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: I still have them. But you guys had such a

22
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: special ara about you and then designing and then even

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: just how you look like. People could look at you

24
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: and be like, okay, they have something, thank you. And

25
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: you're from Minnesota, yep, which is interesting. Because Minnesota. Minnesota

26
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: has a lot going on right now, the No King's protest,

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of like the epicenter of it all.

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: Do you go to Minnesota often?

29
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: We don't really. We don't really have a lot of

30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: family there. Our mom is the only person there, so

31
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: for the last like ten years, she just loves coming

32
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: to us. She's like, yeah, it's so cool. We were

33
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 3: like in the South in Indiana, so we don't really.

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: We left Minnesota all the way in like two thousand

35
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: and nine and came to New York.

36
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: So what was it like growing up as young women

37
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: in Minnesota?

38
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: I feel like growing up in Minnesota, we grew up

39
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: in the suburbs, so we were like the only Afro

40
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: Latina people in our school pretty much, and we grew

41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: up heavily. My dad from the South and my mom

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: Puerto Rican. The culture was so strong in our household,

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: but there is no culture at the schools that we

44
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: went to. And then on top of that, our parents

45
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: really allowed us to be ourselves, so we really stood out.

46
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: And I think about it, I'm like, we got bull

47
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: then people stared at us. But as I continue to

48
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: grow as a woman, and like and I grow spiritually.

49
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: I mind, were people staring at us or were they

50
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: seen our light before we saw our own light?

51
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: Ooh, it's how you interpret it.

52
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, some time I've been thinking about lately, like deeply,

53
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: do you keep.

54
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: In touch with anybody or do people reach out because

55
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's always for people that you went to

56
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: school with to.

57
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: Try it again. Contact.

58
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: Actually, you actually have a friend named Sharita. She's our

59
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: best friend from like seventh grade and a song that's

60
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: called Dreams on our EP. We recorded a conversation with

61
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 3: her and we added it into our song that's so yeah,

62
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: and her name's in there and everything, so that song's

63
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: very special. So we have a couple childhood friends that

64
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: are still there.

65
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: Oh well, that's good.

66
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: I like to hear that because and I like how

67
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: you just kind of turned around that interpretation because for

68
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: kids today, bullying is such a big deal, and I

69
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: think it's even worse with social media. Yeah, Like imagine

70
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: if you had to grow up and people had things

71
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: to say and leave comments.

72
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be even worse.

73
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: So you moved to Brooklyn, yep, and you only had

74
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars between you?

75
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: Yes, how old were you when you moved.

76
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: To New York nineteen. We were like, we had just

77
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: turned nineteen, like a month before we moved.

78
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Did you know what you're like, did you have a

79
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: plan or were you just like we got to just

80
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: get to New York.

81
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: Our plan was we were gonna grow our eyewear company,

82
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: and everyone thought we were crazy because at that time

83
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: we were working at the Mall of America and I

84
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: remember quitting my job. I remember acquitting my job. My

85
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: managers like, you're gonna move to New York. It's going

86
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: to be so hard. And so our plan where we

87
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: did have a plan. Our plan was to move to

88
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: New York and get a job. But we never got

89
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: a job. We were able to like fund ourselves. It

90
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: was a hustle, but we were able to like do

91
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: Cocumbreez eyewear full time. And I think that it was

92
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: like it was something that intuition where we knew that

93
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: it was we kind of like we used to walk

94
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: down the street and random people and I say it

95
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: was angels. Random people would come up to us and

96
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: be like, I support art. Here's five hundred dollars into

97
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: thick glasses off our face. And that's how we got

98
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: our first month of rent.

99
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: That is wild. Yeah, and I think that random.

100
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: Yes, it happened times, and that's how we got our

101
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: couple of months of rent. And I think that during

102
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: that time there's a feeling that people get when it's

103
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: your time to try something new and take that risk.

104
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: It's a sign. It's been a cycle in our lives

105
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: ever since we were like super little, and so we

106
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: knew it was a scary decision, but like we took

107
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: the signs and we went for it, and we were

108
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 3: guided protected, we trusted it, but we also knew that

109
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: even though it was a hustle, we knew would pay off.

110
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: Even if it wasn't going to pay off immediately, we

111
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: knew it was going to pay off one day.

112
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: You felt that you knew that there was something that was,

113
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: like you said, guiding you. Sometimes there's so much noise

114
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: or we talk ourselves out of things, yea, and you

115
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: can feel like, just like when you said, the manager

116
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: at the store is like, that's going to be hard,

117
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: that's you know, going to be impossible. But that's how

118
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: people feel a lot of times, they'll put that on

119
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: you because they feel that way.

120
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: About themselves too.

121
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: Exactly.

122
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: They're scared to make a move.

123
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: You know.

124
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: It's interesting because as long as I've known both of you,

125
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: I remember meeting you early on and not knowing your

126
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: full story, just knowing that like, okay, these are you know,

127
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: the women that are the eyewear designers. Y'all made the

128
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: most amazing glasses even back then, and just had like

129
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 1: that look where you just felt like and very sweet, awesome,

130
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: because I think that as people stars grow, sometimes they

131
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: can become.

132
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 2: More inaccessible.

133
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: Yes, but you've always managed to just kind of really

134
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: stay grounded.

135
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: Now.

136
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: I remember also seeing you in the Beyonce party video

137
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: and they're like.

138
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 3: Hold on is that.

139
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: How did that happen?

140
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: So we're really good friends with Ty Hunter, and he

141
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: was her stylist and so a long. I don't know

142
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: how we met Tay. We met him somewhere. I remember

143
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: when Breeze and I were like living in Brooklyn and

144
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: Bushwick when it was scary to go to Bushwick and

145
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: we were sharing a yeah, we were sharing a futime

146
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: and we had like three roommates in this little three

147
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: bedroom apartment, and he came over and he was Beyonce stylists,

148
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: and from there he was like, I'm gonna put you

149
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: guys in the music video. There's actually a lot of

150
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: people in that video that are like big Now. It's

151
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: like us Sean Ross, the off was London and Roe

152
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: James is in that video. That's so amazing. Yeah, so

153
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: Laune is in the video, like we were all young

154
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: and he like grabbed all the young people before they

155
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 3: blew up dev Hines and put us all in that video.

156
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: Did you believe that when he was like, I'm gonna

157
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: put you guys in the beyond?

158
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: No, we probably didn't get the answer. In the confirmation,

159
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: it was like a day before, we're sitting here being like,

160
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: don't bother him, but are we gonna go? And then

161
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: we ended up being in it and she was actually pregnant.

162
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: She wasn't. It wasn't announced that she was pregnant, but

163
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 3: I remember seeing her being like, mmm, so she has

164
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: a glow.

165
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: What is the balance of wanting to make something happen

166
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: when somebody tells you something, but not wanting to keep

167
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: on being like, what's good? Are we still doing this?

168
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: Because that's a balance a lot of people struggle with,

169
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: like the persistence but also wanting to make sure that

170
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: you're not being annoying.

171
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: I think that sometimes it was meant for you will

172
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: always be for you. There's a lot of manifest that's

173
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: the yeah, check it out, And a lot of times

174
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: you have to understand, like with life, some people just

175
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: talk and you can't depend on other people to do

176
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: something for you. You have to do it for yourself.

177
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, like if someone says they're gonna do something

178
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 3: for you, never wait on them, and that's something that

179
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: we had to learn. Yeah, and also just like surrender,

180
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: So if it happens, it happens, but if it doesn't,

181
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: you just have to surrender and say, what's next.

182
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: How have you both become? So I would say just

183
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: tapped in because we're in a world right now where

184
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, what's next, what's next? And you know

185
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: you are DJ So being in a club environment also

186
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: can be difficult for people. But then at the same

187
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: time you are so connected and have managed to like

188
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: bring forth this meditation that also is kind of fun.

189
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: I think first of all, we didn't really grow up

190
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: with a lot of access at all, so we just

191
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: always grew up with nothing to lose, only everything that

192
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: any piece of success, even the challenges and the failures

193
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: were always a game for us, and I think ever

194
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: since we were younger, we used to tell our mom

195
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: and dad that like we knew that we had a

196
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: bigger purpose in our lives. It was bigger than starting

197
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: a company. We didn't even know that we'll be doing

198
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: music at all. It was nine. I had no idea

199
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: would be touring the world like that wasn't a goal

200
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: of ours. But I think that what we're doing right

201
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: now is we're more purpose driven than money, fame and

202
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: material driven. And so I think us being in like

203
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 3: the club environments or like being in the industry, for us,

204
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: we feel like since we are walking our divine purpose,

205
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: that's always like our or north star, and that's what

206
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: kind of keeps us grounded. Yeah, And we actually have

207
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: a friend named Natty who was like a spiritual guidance

208
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: for us. We met her in like two thousand and nine,

209
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: and she introduced us to yoga, She introduced us into

210
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: clean eating, She introduced us into like that sort of lifestyle.

211
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: And I will always stay thank you to her because

212
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: we did not know anything about like yoga and eating

213
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: clean and taking ginger shots. And from that time on,

214
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: it's like lifestyle and it's more about breaking the generation

215
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 3: of curses. Because again, our dad grew up in the

216
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: South where he grew up during segregation, and my mom

217
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: grew up in a very strict Puerto Rican household, and

218
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: they raised us. They kind of unlearned the way they

219
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: grew up, and they gave us the freedom, but we

220
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: had so much freedom that we also didn't want to

221
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: so obeyed them. So even though we looked like rosstars

222
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: as kids, we were such good, gooddy two shoes and

223
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 3: we always had our like our heads. I feel like

224
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: we didn't start cursing until we were like eighteen. Yeah,

225
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 3: we're such good, but we had like black lipstick, piercings,

226
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 3: mohawks and like middle school.

227
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you don't judge a book by his color.

228
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: How did your parents end up in Minnesota?

229
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: They was doing some stuff that I don't even want

230
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: to talk about, but that's how they ended up in Minnesota.

231
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: That that'll be in our book one day, if.

232
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: We ever write a book or something that you really

233
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: feel like you want to do.

234
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: I do, because I feel like people have a perception

235
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: of how we grew up. I think a lot of

236
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: times people think they were coming from like an artsy

237
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: like family with money and know my dad was a

238
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 3: p before we before we were born, Like we grew

239
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: up going to players balls, like we saw a lot

240
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: of growing up. We went to a player's ball. And

241
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: also like our brother he was we have a brother.

242
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: We had a brother that he like passed away from

243
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: gun violence. And so like we have the the typical American,

244
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 3: like Black America, we just have dinners and lunches because

245
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 3: uncle or somebody was about to turn themselves in. Like,

246
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: we just grew up seeing a lot And I think

247
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: a lot of times I do want to write a

248
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: books because people have a perception of who they think

249
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: we are, what our story is. But we also haven't

250
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: shared those parts of our stories. But I think it

251
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: is important for us to share that to show that

252
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: where we came from, there's other people that came from

253
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: the same circumstances, and that there is a possibility to

254
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: get to you know, where we are.

255
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: And leaning into that creativity.

256
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: I think too, because sometimes you feel like you have

257
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: to go along with what's happening around you, but you

258
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: really kind of rebelled against that.

259
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we really did, even when people did not understand it.

260
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: We were like we're gonna still just do us. Like

261
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: I remember walking down the street in Indiana and him

262
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: Indiana and we were like super punk and our cousin

263
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: was like, oh, we're in war. I didn't know what

264
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: that meant at the time. So we're walking in one

265
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: of the most dangerous neighborhoods, like, oh, we're with cousins jeroon,

266
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: but we're over here looking like rock stars, trusting him

267
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: with our lives. And I realized, I'm like, we actually

268
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: put ourselves in danger. But that was soon had no idea,

269
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: but us going to our family's place like that was

270
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: so normal to us. I didn't even realize that we

271
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: were in like a dangerous neighborhood. And we went there

272
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: every summer.

273
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: And you guys, you know what's nice that you had

274
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: each other? Yeah, you know, and that's such a blessing

275
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: to be able to have like your sister to lean on.

276
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, for both of you were you.

277
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Was there ever a time that there was any type

278
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: of light because sometimes that's hard to be family but

279
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: also working together NonStop.

280
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: No, don't. I don't think it was ever hard. I

281
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: think the most challenging part was being twins and finding

282
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 3: our own identities. And so we were like.

283
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: We used to be stuck to the hip, yeah, because

284
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: it's always Coco and Breezy, Coco and Breeze exactly. Now

285
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: it's Coco and Breezy, you know, like like I know

286
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: my stuff, I know what I like, Breezey knows what

287
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: she likes when she doesn't like.

288
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: Before it was like what do we like? And so

289
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: I never I didn't get a chance to like really

290
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 3: understand like who I was. And a few years ago

291
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: we went on a journey. It was about four years ago.

292
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: We went to Costa Rica and we like stayed off

293
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: the grid and spent a couple weeks there and had

294
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: no hot water, no ac We were just in the

295
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: middle of the jungle and we just had no phone

296
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: service or Wi Fi and we just like spent a

297
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: lot of times. I was like, I need to get

298
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 3: to know myself without like depending on Breezy, and Breezey

299
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: needed to get to know herself as well, and so

300
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: that was super helpful. And then from there we started

301
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: to really like lean into our own identities and it's

302
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: actually helped us with our work as well.

303
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: And I know when you went to Costa Rica, your

304
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: father had also passed recently and that was a journey

305
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: as well. How did that affect you?

306
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: Our dad was our best friend. But I think that

307
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: before he passed away, had this fear of death, Like

308
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 3: I was just so scared of a family member dying

309
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: or even me thinking of that. But now understanding the

310
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: cycle of life, my dad shows up and visits me

311
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: in my dreams now nice and it makes me like

312
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: see that there's something bigger than what we're living right now.

313
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 3: But it definitely affected us a lot, and just being

314
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: in Costa Rica in general. That's where we wrote and

315
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: got the ideas for our current EP, Free was during

316
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,359
Speaker 3: that trip in him passing.

317
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: And I remember, like you said, you had never thought

318
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: you would be on this journey to do music and

319
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: even hearing your voices. I remember previously you had said

320
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: that it was not something that you were even comfortable with. Yeah,

321
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: recording your voice and yep, hearing it on the track.

322
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you get over that?

323
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: I think the way we got over it if you

324
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 3: hear that all the songs that we're speaking on our tracks,

325
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: what we do, what we're doing right now, we literally

326
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: just go into a studio and we just have conversations

327
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: like this with each other and then we just pull

328
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: the vocals and we like make the songs and so

329
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: that's like it is. It makes it.

330
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: It also sounds soothing the conversations.

331
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: That you're yeah, so that's what makes it easy. There

332
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: was a point though, when we first started, I didn't

333
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: like we were in the headphones and hearing my voice. I

334
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: would be like, let me just talk, yeah, And now

335
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: I can listen. I'm used to it now, but in

336
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 3: the beginning it was challenging because it's weird to hear

337
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: your own voice.

338
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Now, let's flash back to the eyewear because first of all,

339
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: just the way that that has really evolved from when

340
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: you guys first started. So when you first started making

341
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: the glasses, it feels like I'm a pull mine out

342
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: for this and get and take a picture of it

343
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: and post with this. But just thinking about how when

344
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 1: you guys first started and didn't have the investment or

345
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: anything yet, what's the difference like when you first started

346
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: and where.

347
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: You are now.

348
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: What was it like in the early stages of creating

349
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: and selling eyewear.

350
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: So I can say we're still self funded. We've never

351
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: took on investors in the beginning, It was definitely very,

352
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: very challenging, but I think that what we had to

353
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 3: do was we first started off with handcrafted glasses.

354
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: Yes they were all handmade.

355
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: And then we educated ourselves on how to actually design

356
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: and produce real eyewear. And so our business partner, Dwayne,

357
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: who's also our co founder, here the architecture background, so

358
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: he was able to create cads. So between him and I,

359
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: we were designing all the glasses from scratch. And I

360
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: remember the first collection we made. We used our last

361
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: bit of money and it was only like three samples,

362
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: and I remember sleeping with the samples because I was

363
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: like so excited it. And I remember our first full production.

364
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: Since we weren't it was our first production, we weren't

365
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: as educated on the design process. All of them came

366
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: back damage and I remember how to go on food

367
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: stamps for like a week. Wow, it was like a

368
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: month I had to go on because we used all

369
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: of our money in this big order that we got canceled.

370
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: And so we're like, okay, we use that as an

371
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: opportunity to be like, let's go back to the drawing board.

372
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: Let's figure out where are we, Where are our high priorities,

373
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: where are our money making priorities and like with our

374
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: long term goals, and once we actually sat back and

375
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: created new goals, the next month we ended up like

376
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: making like ten thousand cells it's like maybe like ten

377
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: years ago. And from there we continued to grow our

378
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: business and we really focused at the time on direct

379
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: to consumer. Recently, we actually just made a switch. Yeah,

380
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: we just signed a licening deal with Europa, which is

381
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: like one of the biggest independent I wear distributors, and

382
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: so right now our glasses are in like seven hundred

383
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: store locations.

384
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: Okay, we got to give it up for that.

385
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: Article came across my timeline too when you guys ink

386
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: that deal, because that's groundbreaking.

387
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: Yea, thank you so much, thank you. Yeah, and we

388
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: should double in the next year. But we're excited for

389
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: that because now we can really focus on our music

390
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: and then with the partnership with Europa, they'll help us

391
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: scale even faster while we put more time in music

392
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: because the music. Last year we were burnt out, like

393
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: the way we were running the company and then like

394
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: DJ until two am and then having like an eight

395
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: am all hands meeting.

396
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: It was a lot and sometimes you think to yourself,

397
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: I prayed for this, Yeah, and I pray for these blessings.

398
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: But then you also have to pay attention to when

399
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: it's time to You can't function the way that you

400
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: need to and give things the attention that it needs.

401
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: If you're burnt out.

402
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, so I'm excited now.

403
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm excited for you because the glasses are like even

404
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: just seeing y'all in, I'm now you also created that

405
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: third eyeglass that Prince wore on SNLP and I Prince

406
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: is my favorite artist of all time, so you know,

407
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: I need to get the print story directly from you

408
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: and for everybody listening who may not know.

409
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

410
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: So Prince was a really good friend of ours, and

411
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: the way we met him is someone from his team

412
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: reached out to us on Facebook and was like, hey,

413
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 3: Prince wants to meet you. We ignored the message because

414
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: you know, every rapper calls themselves like Prince something. I

415
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: didn't think it was like Prince Prince, you know. And

416
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: then like a few months later, our friend hits us

417
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: up and she was like, Prince has been trying to

418
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: get in touch with you guys. So we finally like

419
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: called a number and they were like, hey, Prince wants

420
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 3: you guys to perform with him. We used to be dancers.

421
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: I guess he saw a YouTube video from like ten

422
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: years before that it was dancing, and he was like,

423
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: Prince wants to fly you guys to New Orleans for

424
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: the Essence Festival, so you guys can perform with one

425
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 3: of his artists. Wow, they didn't say with Prince. And

426
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: so then he was like, bring your glasses because he

427
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: wants all the dancers to wear your glasses. We fly

428
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 3: to New Orleans, we're at dance rehearsal and they're like,

429
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: he wants you guys to perform with him while he

430
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 3: performs Bras Baby Beret and we were like what. I

431
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 3: was like, we haven't danced in years, and so we

432
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: get to rehearsal and I would never forget. He like

433
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: walks into the rehearsal room and all the dancers were

434
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: like they all went to the back. Me and Breeze

435
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: were like, we're his special guests. We're just gonna like

436
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 3: chill here. And he comes up to us and he

437
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 3: was like, Cocor and Breezy, you're gonna make me famous.

438
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: And I was like, what are you talking about, Prince,

439
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: You're gonna make us famous, you know. And from there

440
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 3: he said he told all the dancers, I only want

441
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: Cocor and Breezy to dance with me during this song.

442
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: And I was like, what that is wild?

443
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: You know. The crazy part is that the video he

444
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: saw was doing choreography from ten years ago. He's like,

445
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 3: I want you guys to do that choreography. What I'm like, this.

446
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: Is crazy to even see that.

447
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: I don't know how. I don't know how he found it,

448
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 3: but I think he was like he would lurk he

449
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: found everything.

450
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like a Minnesota connection or.

451
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: Something something I don't know. And fast forward, Breezy was like, Prince,

452
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: the glasses you're wearing are whack. You need some of

453
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: the eyeglasses. And I was scared. I was like Brete

454
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: really and at that time he wanted to meet. We

455
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: were really close. So every time we got so spoiled.

456
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: Every time on the news if I saw he was

457
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 3: in New York, I would just be waiting for a

458
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: text message that he's gonna send a car to pick

459
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: us up.

460
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: Right amazing.

461
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: At that time we lived in Bushwack. Cane was and

462
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: he would always I think that was our first time

463
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: like riding a black car and having a drivers because

464
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 3: the Prince and he would rent out these restaurants and

465
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: have dinners at like four o'clock in the morning. He

466
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 3: went to meet our family, so I brought my mom

467
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: to Paisley Parks. He let us have a party there.

468
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: And then finally we made the third eye glasses. He

469
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: was like, I need glasses to cover my third eye

470
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: and we were like, okay. So we made them, and

471
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 3: it was crazy because it took us a while for

472
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: us to develop them, and literally the sample came the

473
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: day of SNL, so we hurry up and got them

474
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: to him, and he invited us to the show, but

475
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 3: we didn't know if he was gonna wear them, and

476
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: so I remember he started his performance with his back turned,

477
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: but then when he turned around he had the glasses on.

478
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: We started bawling. They're like, our lives are going to change. Yeah,

479
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: everyone knew though. It's like it's like Michael Jackson wearing

480
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: like his white socks and black shoes. The third Eye

481
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: glasses are iconic now and so then it was crazy

482
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: because we were going to do an actual collaboration. So

483
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: we were talking to his lawyers about doing like a

484
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 3: Prince times Cocra and Breezy collaboration and cell to hundred

485
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 3: frames for its fans. And I remember after S and

486
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: L we were all at dinner and he was like,

487
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 3: CoCom Breezy, stop talking to my lawyers. I just want

488
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: you guys to sell the glasses. I don't need anything.

489
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 3: Buy a house and just save me a room in

490
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: the house that you buy.

491
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: Because he's so big on ownership.

492
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we own one hundred percent of the rights

493
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 3: to those glasses.

494
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I do have to write a book.

495
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: I just want to say, even sitting here having these conversations,

496
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: you know some of the biggest artists like to have

497
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: ever graced this planet. Beyonce Prince, you've had your glasses

498
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: worn by Ashanti.

499
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, so you know we are like twenty three

500
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: at the time.

501
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: Imagine that.

502
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

503
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 2: It's just imagine all the things that have happened to you.

504
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: It's like, like you said, the universe just kind of

505
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: you got to pay attention and follow.

506
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm happy you say that because in the

507
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: beginning of the year, I had a little bit of uncertainty.

508
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: I always have this uncertainty. In the beginning of the year,

509
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: just because it always feels like it's a new chapter.

510
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: Like the more successful you become, the harder it is

511
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: to become more successful. And something that I learned was

512
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 3: the reason why I had uncertainty is because when you

513
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: get to a certain height of success and you know

514
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 3: where you started, like looking down the fall fills so long,

515
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: and in my head, I'm like, dang, I never want

516
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 3: to go back down to where I started. But then

517
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: I think about it, I'm like, no, I've done so

518
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: much over the years. And the way that the cycle

519
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 3: works in our lives is like it's a roller coaster.

520
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 3: Whenever there's a challenge, the next step is going to

521
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: be higher than the last step and then go back

522
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 3: down to the challenge. It's almost scary to go too

523
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: high because one thing I can say, our success was

524
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: never like we never had a fast, rapid success. It's

525
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: always been a slow study success because we've always kept

526
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: their integrity of like Cocor and Breezy and like who

527
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: we are. Every decision we've made, we've said noted deals

528
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 3: because it didn't align with our lives the things that

529
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: we believe in. And even with Prince before we made

530
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 3: the glasses, he actually asked us to be his creative directors,

531
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 3: and at that time we were like, Okay, we're in

532
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 3: the beginning of our IRA company. If we say yes

533
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: to him, we're gonna be working for him, and our

534
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: IRA company is going to it's gonna take a back seat.

535
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: And I had friends that were working for him that

536
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: we're either like working for him as music or doing

537
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: like some type of other work, and they only worked for.

538
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: Him, right because that's a huge h job and responsibility.

539
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 3: And at that time, we're like, dang, we need the money.

540
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: The money would have been great because we weren't financially

541
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 3: like stable. But we're like, but we have our own goals,

542
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 3: so we're gonna say no. And somebody was like, if

543
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: you say no to him, he might not mess with

544
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: the guys anymore. I was like, well, we have a goal.

545
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 3: So if if you want to do glasses with us

546
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: or do that, but we can't say yes to that's

547
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: a high great direction. It was hard. We cried. We

548
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: cried because we need the money here right now, Like, bye, guys,

549
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 3: parents wants me to go work for him.

550
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: When did you fail financially stable, I.

551
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 3: Would say probably like maybe like five years ago. Yeah,

552
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: I would say like five years ago. Wowe see.

553
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: People also think that success happens quickly. They might have

554
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: seen you more recently and been like, oh yeah, they're

555
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: killing it. They just came out of nowhere. But to

556
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: understand the whole backstory of what it took. That's why

557
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: you got to write that book, I'm telling you. And

558
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: you're still self funded. Is there a part of you

559
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: that wants to get funding or do you want to continue?

560
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: Okay?

561
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: So we actually I mean I think right now with

562
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 3: us making tell this story about going to America, Yeah,

563
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 3: but making the decision to do the licensing deal with Europa.

564
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 3: It's not an investor, but it is like another business partnership.

565
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: So that's like our kind of idea of like what

566
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 3: we're doing for the next steps to girl the company

567
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 3: without giving out giving an equity equity. Yeah, but it

568
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: is going to help us like scale the company. They're

569
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: they're they're like their business operations are so large. So

570
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 3: we're really excited about that.

571
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: Right, And it's nice to not have other people to

572
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: answer to. Yeah, they're going to want to make decisions

573
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: and it just makes it so much easier, is it.

574
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people are also building companies because

575
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: at some point they want to sell them.

576
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is smart. Smart, It's a strategy, Okay, and

577
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: I think that I think that's not a bad thing.

578
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: That was actually a goal of ours, yeah, for a

579
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: while time before he got into music. But the thing

580
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: is that now that we're doing music, we don't have

581
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: like the bandwidth to oversee that. And our music started

582
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 3: growing so much. So that's why we chose this other route.

583
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: Now when the music started, talk to me about that transition.

584
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we started, you know, we started djaying like

585
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: ten years ago, but we were just doing local stuff.

586
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: Around I remember when you guys started DJing.

587
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: Too, Yay. We were just doing like local New York things.

588
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: But then once the pandemic hit, we started making music.

589
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: We have our manager, Johnny. We've been with him for

590
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: like almost eight years, almost nine years maybe, and I

591
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: remember him always being like, I'm setting you guys up

592
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 3: to be like big DJs at play in festivals and

593
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 3: like in a visa, and he'd say all these things.

594
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: I'm like, this sounds so untouchable. Like he would be like,

595
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: we have to like in five years, you guys are

596
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: gonna play a visa. You're gonna do this, do that,

597
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: and I'm like, how So then there are certain things

598
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: that we said no to playing in the city because

599
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 3: he was like, y'all are gonna do something else. And

600
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: so in twenty twenty, that's when we released our first song.

601
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 3: And then during the whole pandemic, we just started releasing music.

602
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: Music was getting like really good feedback on like the

603
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: electronic world, and.

604
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: Was that Differences that was okay.

605
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 3: Differences was like the first first time. Oh my gosh,

606
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what before I don't count I don't

607
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: know why I don't count that song. I should count it.

608
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: You should count fine. Differences was like twenty eighteen. Yeah,

609
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 3: but then our real when we started to find our sound,

610
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 3: it was like twenty twenty okay, and then fast forward

611
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 3: after that, like we got agents, Like right when when

612
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,880

Speaker 3: Outside opened like twenty twenty two or something or twenty

00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: twenty one, and we went from just doing like local

00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: No? Every day, every day I'm still like, are we

627
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: really doing this? Like the other day, tell you we're

628
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 3: such nerds, y'all. Every time we do something lit, we're like,

629
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 3: we're really doing it. We're like, we're doing we never

630
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 3: get used to it. Like the other day we played

631
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 3: in Mexico at the festival and it was like all

632
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 3: the fire we had Piro and we were like on stage,

633
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: we were like, I'm like, we're just so hype. We

634
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 3: never get used to it because again, we had no

635
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: idea what'd be doing. We knew that again, we knew

636
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 3: we're gonna be doing something with a purpose, but we

637
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: didn't know what the medium of it was going to be.

638
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: But we're like, we're like doing all the festivals. We

639
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 3: did Coachella last.

640
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: Year, y'all did Coachella, like that's such a big deal.

641
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 1: And being Afro Latina women, I want to ask you

642
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: what is it like as far as in that world,

643
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: because I know it can be very male dominated. So

644
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: how has that journey been for you? Is it something

645
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: that hasn't affected you or do you feel like there's

646
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: been obstacles because of that?

647
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 3: I mean, I can talk about the DM that we

648
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 3: got yesterday. Yeah, so yesterday I killed somebody with kindness.

649
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: This guy I DMed us speaking No, he didn't dm us.

650
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 3: I DMed him because he wrote a comment being like, oh,

651
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: I went to this party and I saw your friend Brendan.

652
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: He was mixing for you guys the whole time, and

653
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 3: I was like, I've never in my life had anyone

654
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: mixed for us, even when we were bad in the beginning,

655
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 3: I was possing pants in the beginning, I still never

656
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 3: had anyone mix for us. So I knew there was

657
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: a misunderstanding, and so I DMed him. I was like, hey,

658
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: I usually don't respond to people like that, but since

659
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: I genuinely knew it was a misunderstanding, I want to

660
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 3: have a conversation with him. So I was just like, hey,

661
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: I think there's a misunderstanding. Can you tell me which

662
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 3: show you saw swing mixing for us? And I think

663
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: because we were women and we were supporting our friend,

664
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: Like we were like, our friend was performing at this

665
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: like after party in Denver and we were next to

666
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: him just being having fun, having fun. So he assumed

667
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 3: that it was our show and that this our friend

668
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 3: who show it was was djaying for us, and so

669
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 3: I ended up killing him with kindness. I was like,

670
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: I think there's a misunderstanding, and he was like, no,

671
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: I swear you had your your friend djying for you

672
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 3: guys like da da da da, And I was just like,

673
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 3: you know what, I know what shuit you're talking about.

674
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: That wasn't our show. We were literally supporting our friend,

675
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 3: probably dancing with him because again, like we I think

676
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: that was our first time actually seeing him DJ. So

677
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: we were just having a good time. And then we

678
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: got to a point where I'm at the point in

679
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: my life now where I'm like, how can I be

680
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: at peace even when someone's trying to disrupt my piece?

681
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 3: He's still going so hard, And I was like, how

682
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: about this, how about next time we come to Denver,

683
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: add you to our list and you can stand behind

684
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: the DJ decks with us the whole time. No, let

685
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: me tell you and then I'll tell you. And then

686
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 3: he was like, okay, deal, but you still had someone

687
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 3: mixing for you.

688
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

689
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: And I told him, I said, you know, it's bad

690
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: karma to like to be mean to someone. We don't

691
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: have the facts, and I'm like, we're not there where

692
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 3: the wrong was for you to be mean too, because

693
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: you never know, you never know. And then Coco sent

694
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: him some videos of some brother. He was like, here's

695
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: some vibes for you to and then you know what.

696
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: He said this, but let me tell you. Let me

697
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: tell you. I think it was my divine purpose because

698
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 3: he told me, he said, you know what. Thank you

699
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: so much. Because he said that, he was like, no

700
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: one's ever called me out, and I walk around with

701
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: this like this mentality that I have to be like

702
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: a bad man to a bad man DJ and judge everybody.

703
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: So he was like, thank you for putting me in check.

704
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 3: And I apologize. He said, I'm emotionally thinking about this

705
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 3: all day now. And he was just like, I'm going

706
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: to change.

707
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: I'm not to respond to my haters.

708
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: We don't resign to everyone. Yeah, but our intuition.

709
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, something made you say.

710
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: Something told me because I like literally was something in

711
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: my intuition was like, no, just just talk to him,

712
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: and I did, and it came out with him apologizing him.

713
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: He said he's rethinking his whole life, wow, and his

714
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: identity of like being judgmental. But that's how you stop

715
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: your blessings. Though people don't realize when you spend the

716
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: time and the emotions to hate on somebody else or

717
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: compare yourself to someone, you literally stop your blessings.

718
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: I always have felt like when that happens online and

719
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: people are the ones that are always like leaving that,

720
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: I always feel like that's the issue they.

721
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: Have in themselves.

722
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, like carrying that type of like hate and just

723
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: vitriol towards people. I always feel like that's worse than

724
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: being the person that they're harassing.

725
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so I agree with you. That is

726
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: so amazing.

727
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: I had time.

728
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you definitely had time something like Because also I

729
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: think sometimes people do that because they want a response.

730
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: I always look at it like, well, I don't want

731
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: to reward this person with a response that's harassing me.

732
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: But but it was also a different type of thought

733
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: It was a test for me too, because I think

734
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: maybe me a couple of years ago, would we respond

735
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: differently in like a mo vibrational way. But I need

736
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: to also test out. I need to test out, like

737
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: the knew me of like how do I keep my

738
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: peace when someone's trying to disrupt that?

739
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: Right?

740
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: No, and listen in the midst of all this, he

741
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: can go and listen to the EP exactly.

742
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: They help him out.

743
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: Sound healing. Do y'all do sound healing?

744
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, Actually in our current tour, we have like

745
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: we did a few shows. We did La where we

746
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: had an early portion that was a meet and greet

747
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: and it was the same day as show. It was

748
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: like fifty people there, Breezy did, I did sound healing,

749
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 3: Breezy did a guided meditation, and then we played our

750
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: EP for the fans, and then we did a meet

751
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: and greet and a Q and A. So that's like

752
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: a new concept with this. Yeah, And that night was

753
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: the actual show and we sold that, which was amazing.

754
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the type of thing that

755
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: does like change people's whole lives and perspectives.

756
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: You know what.

757
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: I love too, Like I said, it's not your usual

758
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: meditative album.

759
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun.

760
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: You know, you could be.

761
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: In a car and it can help you be in

762
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: like a little bit of a trance.

763
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: Kind of way. You know why we did that. I

764
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: think that the life that we live in right now.

765
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of spaces that tap into the

766
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 3: spiritual space that feel like a cult, right, And I

767
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: don't like that it does or it doesn't feel diverse.

768
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes when I'm doing like certain places and they'll have

769
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: us doing like meditation, I want to laugh because it

770
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: feels real. Yeah, I don't know, and then I feel inappropriate.

771
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so for us, we wanted our music to

772
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 3: be for every already where, Like even if they don't

773
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: know what the word mantra means, or if they don't

774
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 3: know what meditation means, they could just be singing the

775
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: words to their lyrics and they don't even know why

776
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 3: they feel so good. So they don't have to know

777
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: all their lingo like mantra, meditation and grounding, Like, they

778
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: don't need to know all those words to like our music.

779
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: They can listen to it and fill the vibes and like,

780
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: and they can they'll be manifesting without knowing that they're manifesting.

781
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: They may not even know what that word means, but

782
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: they're singing the words to our manifest song.

783
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: It helps you understand exactly what it means to manifest. Yeah, man, well,

784
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: y'all manifested this lot of you as a single that's

785
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: out also.

786
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 2: Right now, what do you where do you see all

787
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: this going?

788
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: Like if you had to, because like you said, a

789
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: lot of this was unexpected. So now that you're manifesting,

790
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: what is it that you see for Coco and Breezy.

791
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: I mean, with us doing the free like our for

792
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,040

793
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: one day called for your Soul, but the start would

794
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: be us having stages at different festivals where we like

795
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 3: curate for your Soul, curate their wellness practices, and then

796
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: from there eventually have like our own fore your Soul

797
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: like festival.

798
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 2: That's the goals festival.

799
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 3: And like residency and a visa.

800
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: And a retreat, yes exactly and when and it's so

801
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: different and so you it's very I feel organic than

802
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: thank you you.

803
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 3: I think for me, I've always had a fear. I'm like,

804
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: I never want to become successful being somebody that isn't

805
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: really who I am, because anybody they people know the

806
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: blueprint to create a hit. But I see a lot

807
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: of friends and peers who become successful, make all this money,

808
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: creating a song that actually isn't true to them, and

809
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 3: then gain the wrong fans. Okay, And for us, we're like,

810
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: even if our success is a slow, steady one, I

811
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 3: want to make sure I'm always like true to myself,

812
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: so then it doesn't even feel like work. We're just

813
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: literally like even with our with our free EP, it's

814
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: some things that we would say to ourselves and now

815
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: we're sharing it with other people or earlier wellness events.

816
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 3: It's that's actually our pre show ritual, but now we

817
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 3: get to share that with our fans.

818
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: What type of things and seeing all the success that

819
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: you have, when you say that your father, you still

820
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: speak with him like what does he say?

821
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 3: So our dad? Like he visited me in my dreams.

822
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 3: It was one time where I was sleeping and he

823
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: gave me the biggest hug, and it felt like a

824
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 3: hug that it felt like it was real life. It

825
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 3: felt so warm, and he said something funny to me,

826
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: and I woke up laughing. And I woke up laughing

827
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 3: because I'm like, oh my gosh, I feel him. And

828
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 3: before every show, and I don't care if people think

829
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 3: I'm crazy, I talk out loud to him. I do.

830
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: Before every show. We always have a conversation with him

831
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 3: and just our ancestors, and I always ask them to

832
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: allow us to be vessels, to guide us, to give

833
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: the people who are ever in the crowd, give them

834
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 3: exactly what they need and they want. So a lot

835
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 3: of times we may not even know what we're going

836
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 3: to play. I feel like we're just like channeling and giving.

837
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 3: We're just like giving whatever whoever is in the room

838
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: that day. I pray and be like, Okay, allow whoever

839
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 3: supposed to be here will be here, whether if it's

840
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: like ten people or if it's thousands of people. So

841
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 3: that way I can if I'm playing for ten thousands

842
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 3: of people or if I'm playing for twenty people, it's

843
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 3: going to be the same energy because whoever supposed to

844
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: be there will be there.

845
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 2: No absolutely, what about you, Coco.

846
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 3: Something that's really interesting is that, for some reason, I

847
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: always see twelve, Like whenever it's twelve thirty four on

848
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 3: the clock, I always see it. And he transitioned on

849
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: April third, of twenty twenty one, so when you flip

850
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: the numbers, it's one, two, three four, And literally, like

851
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 3: at midnight and in the afternoon, when I see like

852
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 3: twelve thirty four, I'm like, oh, it's up, pops. Thank

853
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: you Angel. You know, I feel like he's my guardian angel.

854
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 3: So that's like something that I've like created for myself

855
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: just to have like a memory of him. And can

856
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 3: I say one thing too, So just like a backstory.

857
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 3: I feel like after he passed away, that's that was

858
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 3: like a milestone to women became more financially free and

859
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 3: all the abundance started to come. Like he he's like

860
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 3: because before him, we've been financially supporting our dad from

861
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 3: like fifteen years old up until he passed away when

862
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 3: we were in our thirties. And sometimes I think about

863
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't even know how we did it

864
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: right for him. When he was alive, he felt like

865
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 3: it was a burden, but it was never a burden

866
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: for us. It taught us to be hard workers, and

867
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 3: it taught us to actually like how to support our family,

868
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: and it really pushed us to actually again we had

869
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 3: nothing to lose. We only had everything to gain because

870
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 3: we had to grow up at such a very young age.

871
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 3: So after he transitioned, I think all the blessings that

872
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 3: he just like, I don't know, he just gave us

873
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 3: a miracle to this new purpose that we have right now.

874
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: He would like investing into your future blessing. Yeah during

875
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: that time. Yeah, well, I cannot wait to read this book.

876
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: It feels like there's so much more to this. I'm

877
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna let y'all save it for when this book is

878
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: gonna come out, because I'm gonna tell you right now,

879
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: I would definitely pick that up like today. But thank

880
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: you so much again. I'm so proud and happy to

881
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: see your success. Every time I see yuall somewhere, I'm like,

882
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: there goes. And by the way, I never see you

883
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: guys without each other.

884
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy. We actually live separately now.

885
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah it's necessary, Yeah, I guess, But when you go out,

886
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: I feel like i've seen you two together.

887
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: I don't even know. If I were, I think I

888
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: would know.

889
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: It's just so you're so used to seeing Coco and Breezy,

890
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: Like if I see one of you individually, I'd be like,

891
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: oh shoot, like I can't.

892
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes people don't know it's me. If I'm not with Breezy,

893
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: I'm right cool, I'll be locky. No one hasn't come

894
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:22,640
