62
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:43,680

63
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,400

00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: Those type of movies. You do them and did you

65
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,480

66
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: famous mailbox money.

67
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's that's a big part of television. You

68
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: would if you just had the quote unquote mailbox money

69
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: for King and Queen's you would be you. You'd be fine. You,

70
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be you wouldn't be complaining very much, you

71
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: know the things that the thing is it is not

72
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: to just do it one time, but to do it

73
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: again again. You'll find that when so many people are

74
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: are trying to figure out how to get in and

75
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: trying to to get get the work happening for them

76
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: on ourselves on a on a constant basis. But it's

77
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: it's I've been I'm in my thirty eighth season of television.

78
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: I will tell you that the continuing it for the

79
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: for the thirty plus years has been way harder than

80
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: the getting in in the first. Isn't that true?

81
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: You know? I think about my life, you know, and

82
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: and the journey to get in and and but sometimes

83
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: the journey to stay in is like really even tougher,

84
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: you know, because it's so competitive and then people going yes, I've.

85
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: Never gotten a single job where somebody else didn't didn't

86
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: want to want to be sitting in that seat instead

87
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: of me. Most of my jobs, after I get it,

88
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: they're still trying to get me.

89
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Absolutely, that's.

90
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: That's a real thing. Uh Uh. But you can't let

91
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: you can't let you can't let that stop. You can't

92
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: let the fear of it stop you. It's like what

93
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: you were saying in your intro. Uh. Even the folks

94
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: around you who will constantly, especially when you're in entertainment,

95
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: and that they constantly tell you that this isn't a

96
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: real job. You know, I said, Well, and when they

97
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: when they say that it's not a real job, I

98
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: want to take them out the bird Bank and I

99
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: want to go to that green and white building with

100
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: the black ears on top of it and tell and

101
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: tell all those folks at Disney that they have to

102
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: get out because they're not working in a real job.

103
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: And when I'm finished with them, I should walk across

104
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: the street to Warner Brothers and say, get out because

105
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: you're not doing a real job. You're getting a real

106
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: check every week, but you're not doing a real job.

107
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: That's uh, That that fear of it because most people

108
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: don't do this for a job. That fear is what

109
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: keeps people out and this fantasy that it's that that

110
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: that can only happen to this person. You know, if

111
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: you treat it like a business, it might treat you

112
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: in kind.

113
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: You know, you know, and now and now I admire

114
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: what you're saying, because you are a unique talent and

115
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: some and you have a unique skill and when you

116
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: and that's a very small group of people, and that's

117
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: when people kind of minimize it because they can't understand

118
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: everybody in the sta what a mail box a postman does,

119
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: or bank teller does, cashier does because he sees on

120
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: a regular basis a composer, would that be the proper

121
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: title for you? Okay, a music composer you're giving Let

122
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: me just reiterate everybody who I'm talking. I'm talking to

123
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: Kirk Farquhar. Some of this work you're very familiar with,

124
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: being Mary Jane, the Neighborhood. He's won ten BMI's and

125
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: the bm MY Award is what be.

126
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: And my high awards are for composers. The top composers

127
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: is essentially you are You're the person that's putting more

128
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: music more music or your show is more popular, and

129
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: you're think of it like the Billboard Awards. You sell

130
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: more records an award. I've been blessed to be on

131
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: a number of really big hit TV shows and thankful

132
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: for it. But the continuing it, as we were saying,

133
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: is the big deal that is too to be in

134
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: the game thirty eight years and still coming at it

135
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: hard and fresh and having and still being relevant something

136
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: that people actually do want. You know, It's not I'm

137
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: not just there because I because I still like me,

138
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: but because people are still requiring and still want what

139
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: it is that I have to do. I've changed with

140
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: the times, getting in that first flash. Everybody gets that

141
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: one good idea, you know, and then and then want

142
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: to run with it. Well, sustain that good idea and

143
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: change that good idea and polish it off and molded

144
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: and modeled for for the changing times. If you think

145
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: about all the things that I've seen my time, how

146
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: different music is to them. When I started out, you

147
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: put you delivered music on quarter inch tape and fifteen niphs.

148
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: You know today you you're sitting in a dark room

149
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: by yourself on a computer pad. You know, Pump pump,

150
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: you know, and and you should shoot the team when

151
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: when you and I worked together, if I forgot the

152
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: music on the way over to the to the mix,

153
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: there's no way. I have to get back in the

154
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 2: car and go back across town, grab the music and

155
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: and meet you back there.

156
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: And when you say work together, you know, I met

157
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: him on Mosha. That was my good friend Vita Spears

158
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: and Sheriff Finny Johnson introduced me to this man's talent.

159
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,119
Speaker 1: Then I went over to the Parenthood, did the Parenthood

160
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: with you? I did Sister Sister, the Twins, Tea and

161
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: Tamar Miley with our girl Felicia Anderson.

162
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: And and the Big Big Time, Yes, Steve Big Time.

163
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: When the w B did that, I brought him over

164
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: there relationship, and then we went over to UH then

165
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: then the Parkers with Monique, and then I got out

166
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: of the sitcom business, and when made Steve Harvey's career.

167
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: But all the while you've just been still building your catalog.

168
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: I got to ask you this question because originality and

169
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: not being a victim of copy catty, copy catty your success.

170
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: How do you pull that off?

171
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: You know, first of all, you know it's it's it's

172
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: not just my idea. I have to when you when

173
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: you're in music, the picture you are, it's not you're

174
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: just doing an album, you're doing I'm doing music to

175
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: a story that you came up with, Sorr. I work

176
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 2: with somebody else and I do music to a story

177
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: that Michael Whitehorn came up with. Or I'm doing a

178
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: story to what Ralph Barkoor, Abta Spirits and Sarah Finny

179
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 2: Johnson come up with. And if you're really really taking

180
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: the job seriously, you're listening to what they're saying. You're

181
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: listening to the vision that they have, and you're co

182
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: opting that and bringing that into your train of thought

183
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: and you say, okay, this is something else. Let me

184
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: go about that in a different way. I don't come

185
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: in every day thinking, okay, now, let me force force

186
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: feed the singular thing that I've done and the style

187
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: that I've done and force feed it to everybody for

188
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: thirty eight years. If that was the case, I wouldn't

189
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: be here for thirty eight years later. I don't believe.

190
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: But you know, because every one of your concepts are different,

191
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: and that makes you special. Now you're an African American,

192
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: and so a lot of people feel that your talents

193
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: were probably leaning that direction. What have you done to

194
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: make sure people understand the diversity of your music skills.

195
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: I've done shows like King of Queens to make which

196
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: I was doing at the same time as Moasia and

197
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: The Parkers, you know, at the exact same time, and

198
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: I actually created I believe that around the same time

199
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: as the as The Parkers, and on the I had

200
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: meetings for him on the same day, you know, and

201
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: you I took what Michael Whitehorn was saying he wanted

202
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: for his story and came up with thoughts that were

203
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: reverberated around that. And then I walk over and talked

204
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: to Ralph and Vida and Sarah about what they wanted

205
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: for the Parkers and which was a total different thing,

206
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: you know, and see what they're see what they're creating,

207
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: and see if you can allow yourself to be a

208
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: part of the entire story and the world that they're creating.

209
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: They created a whole other world. And look, I've always

210
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: from the beginning of my life as a musician, I've

211
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: always been attracted to different sounds in different styles. I

212
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: wrote my first symphony when I was twelve. I went

213
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: to the National Conservatory music in Belsize, France. I toured

214
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: with Freddie Hubbard doing jazz in my twenties, I you know,

215
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 2: uh and and I put out R and B and

216
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: hip hop records of myself with myself as a singer.

217
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: You know, I'm all over the place. And some of

218
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: my favorite music to ever do is country in Western

219
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: which a lot of people don't know you. You know,

220
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: you know Kurk Parker, you know he loves his country

221
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: in Western So, you know, the root stuff.

222
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: The thing that I remember last time I interviewed you,

223
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling ever about a long time ago because the

224
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: brother's busy. I'm so fortunate to have him in my

225
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Atlanta studios, was talking about black Light. Yeah, and you

226
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: were you were so used. What did you hear the music?

227
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: I dropped that it was like it was like it

228
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: was like an R and B hit song from back

229
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: in that day, and you were just so excited of

230
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: the song's placement in that episode. So that's a certain

231
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: amount of energy that's real tied to your creativity. So

232
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: when you look into it, because music does play a

233
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: major role in trans musicians and emotions and drummers, whether

234
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: it's a stinger or the up and down tones of

235
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: music when they walk in the room. If you took

236
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: away that music, it really can take away the tone

237
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: and the development of scenes and stories. Correct.

238
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that that's a show where it all elements

239
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: of music were important to it. The songs that are

240
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: here Caro Lemon would do, would put in and to

241
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: the the score. They really really let me do some

242
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: interesting things. And you told me that, and we were

243
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: I remember we were talking about before how I was

244
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: taking hip hop beats and and and taking it apart

245
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: and putting it in more of an orchestral point of view.

246
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: So the so the trombones and tubas were doing where

247
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: the kick drum and the trumpets would be the snare

248
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: and and you say, I like this feel. I don't

249
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: know why. It's comfortable to me. It's that classical stuff,

250
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: but it's not, you know, right, So we try to

251
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: put together again, allowing yourself to be influenced, you know,

252
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: by the world around you. The creatively creatively creatively is

253
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: a thing because the world keeps changing and interesting things happen.

254
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: Please don't go anywhere.

265
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: I remember earlier in my career recording in a in

266
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: a studio that was in this gentleman's garage and it

267
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: wasn't the most sound pool place that we ever heard.

268
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: And I kid you not, we were. I had the

269
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: band playing all live and they were going through all

270
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: of the changes that I had written for them to do.

271
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: And then in the distance while we're recording, I heard

272
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: a dog barking. I kept hearing this dog barking in

273
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: this other tonality, and he kept doing it at the

274
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: same place, and I said, and in the same key.

275
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: I said, Oh my goodness, guys, this is what we're

276
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: gonna do. And I changed up the piece of music

277
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: to go in the in the in the key and

278
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: the register of of where the dog was barking at it,

279
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: and everybody, all my producers thought, oh, what a great idea,

280
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: what a great What made you think to go and

281
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: make that shift at that point? That's so cool, I said,

282
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

283
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: So let's talk about some current stuff, Kirk. You know,

284
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: I want to keep talking about you. You're stuck in

285
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: the past because this brother right here. The Proud Family

286

Speaker 1: season four premieres in July. Yeah, okay, The Proud Family.

287
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Christmas Brown is coming up. Okay, Beyond the Gates, the

288
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: hit soap opera, I think it has been renewed for you

289
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: season three.

290
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 2: We're we're one and a half months into our second season, right,

291
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: and then they picked us up for another two seasons

292
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: beyond that, so it'll be three years from now for us.

293
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 2: Before before we're talking about what's new and a brother?

294
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: And that was that your search first soap opera genre?

295
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was interesting there. That's five days a week, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

296
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty five episodes a year and moving

297
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: up from there. Sheila Duxworth that to me about it

298
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: and almost five years before it started, and she says,

299
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: I got this thing that's coming up, and her vision

300
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: was that she wasn't going for the typical soap opera,

301
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: daily daytime drama sort of sound. And as you'll find out,

302
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: a lot of the people that are working on the

303
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 2: show come out a nighttime. You know. I had never

304
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: done anything in terms of a daytime so in my

305
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: entire life, and I thought, why not? You know, she

306
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: told me that they were going to be trying to

307
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: make it special and try to do something different with it.

308
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: The power relationships really tells a part, a major part

309
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: of your story.

310
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: It's a big deal.

311
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about relationships and how people need to understand

312
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: you can have a talent, but relationships can be a

313
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: major asset to the longevity of your career, delivering quality

314
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: work and people making recommendation.

315
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: I always tell people I only work for Steven Spielberg.

316
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 2: You know, I say, I see my producer, come in,

317
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: my director, come in. I see Steven Spielberg, and act accordingly.

318
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: If you if you were working with Steven Spielberg and

319
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: you were and he said, oh, well, guys, it's going

320
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: to be really late tonight. Where it's going to be well,

321
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't know when we're going to get out of here.

322
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: Half of you would not would not think to have

323
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: called your significant other to say I'm not coming home

324
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: you just I'm working for Steven Spielberg.

325
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

326
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: You know we'll do that for all your other producers.

327
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: I give my whole heart and soul to them. I am.

328
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: I am there for them one and and it's in

329
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: the good times and the bad times that producers have.

330
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 2: Some of my biggest producers are people that came up

331
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: to me earlier in their career and needed something, needed

332
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: some music, and I said yes, then as well, my

333
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: my whole thing is the power of I figure I

334
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 2: could say yes more than you and and and end

335
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: up making more and doing better. I don't. Most people

336
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: in the arts can't always tell you what is going

337
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: to be that success. So I got out of the

338
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: business of trying to figure out which one is going

339
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: to be the winner. I said, if I actually knew

340
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: they would, they would have me bronzed and sitting out

341
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 2: in front of Sony Seguards the way. You know, it's

342
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: it's that's not the case. I do a simple thing

343
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: that my uh my producer brother Ralph told me, I said,

344
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: I do I do my job. I do it the

345
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: best that I can, and I move on to the

346
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: next one.

347
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: There's a more project, bull Run tempted to Love the

348
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 1: number two Love single Black Female the best you can.

349
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: It's Kevin Bacon's movie.

350
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was Kevin Bacon. Again, not not of

351
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: a film that most people would have thought of this,

352
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: the older black composer would have been the one to

353
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: that they choose to do this music. But I I

354
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: believe that I did something that was different, that was pertinent,

355
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 2: and again it was a relationship that I've had, you know,

356
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: that goes back years. I keep these relationships going even

357
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: when I am not working with folks. If you only

358
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: want to call someone and talk to them once you've

359
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: read in the trades that they've got something coming up,

360
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: it's already too late. I'm I'm seriously because I seriously

361
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 2: care about them. I'm seriously reaching out to people and

362
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: seriously letting it be known that I'm there for them.

363
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 2: So that because by the time when it's getting going,

364
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: if you're not top of mind, probably not going to

365
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 2: be in the mix.

366
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely a couple more projects. Ruth and boys.

367
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: That was a big one for us.

368
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Number one on Netflix, number one, number one on Netflix.

369
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: You know again, now a great project you've been tied

370
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: to the neighborhood with starring Cedric Entertainment comes to an end.

371
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: What are your feelings and did you compose any special

372
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: music in the last season or the final episode there?

373
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: The final episode is very very special and there is

374
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: some special music right taking you right to the end.

375
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: That kind of shows the emotion that I think everybody

376
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 2: was feeling on that show. That show has been on

377
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: eight years straight and then it has been in the

378
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: top of the rankings throughout that whole time. Yes, even

379
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: today it's one of the top shows. Even as they're

380
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: going off the air, it is one of the top

381
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: shows to be on TV. That doesn't happen by accident.

382
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: That happens with a lot of a lot of solid

383
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: work and care. The executive producer, Jim that first started

384
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: the show. When Jim first talked to me, he said

385
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: what he wanted to do with the show. He made

386
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: an interesting thing, he says. He says, Kurt, I don't

387
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to make a party that's so cool

388
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: that only the cool kids come in he says, I'm

389
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: trying to make I'm trying to make a big party

390
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: for everybody to come and and and it seems like

391
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: that they accomplished that. Sedjac Entertainer has been an amazing

392
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: person to work with. A musical ear he has, oh,

393
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 2: he has a very musical ear. You know. He has

394
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: come into the studio with me a number of times,

395
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: not only with the Neighborhood, but with Proud Family. He

396
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: plays Uncle Bobby on Proud Fam. He's he's that that

397
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: that glue, thatd essentral thing, his vision of how this

398
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: is supposed to be and what sort of comedy this is,

399
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 2: and what sort of stories we're telling, which is sometimes

400
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: some very very tough and important stories that he's telling

401
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: that are very uh linked to what's going on. And

402
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: that's why I think so many people appreciate that show.

403
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: But he finds a funny way to put it. But

404
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: he's been decent and supportive of everybody in the cast.

405
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: I feel like he was supportive of what I did musically.

406
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 2: He's supportive of all of the other acts and all

407
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 2: the people that are behind the scenes.

408
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: I have a couple of questions before I'll let you

409
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: go Kurk. Your music library, I mentioned it earlier. Tell

410
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: us about it, and how can one gain access to

411
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: licensed music in your library?

412
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: Well, I had noticed years ago that other companies were

413
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: licensing music into I said, jeez. And I looked at

414
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: one company. You had licensed more music in my more

415
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: minutes of music in my my TV show than I

416
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: had in it, And I said, okay, that's crazy. You

417
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: know I can make one of those. If I had

418
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: known how hard it was and listen to the naysayers,

419
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 2: I might not have done it. But I went on

420
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: and blindly went moved forward and got a library of

421
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: my own, and I not only used it to license

422
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: in my TV shows, but it's in TV shows on

423
