Speaker 3: we wanted to hit that Super Bowl real tough and

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 3: maybe we could have got like a little, you know

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: spot somewhere.

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: I would have been Yeah, I know, but you.

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: So let me ask you what would what was it

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: like in the city that night?

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: Wow? Pandemonium. The city really needed that because for a

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: long time, you know, the Lions have been struggling, and

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: you know, we were a part of that because we

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: did the halftime show. A couple of weeks ago at

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 3: their first playoff game thirty plus year yep, d I see,

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: and the city was just crazy. You know, I really

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: love that the way people receive the Lions again, just

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: the way they receive us to you know, Detroit is

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: a real you know all about it. Detroit is a

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: real strong city. You know, we love hard. So that's

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: pretty much what happened with that.

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, the work that you do is so important.

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: And I think when people watch this docuseriies and it's

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: out now, yes, out now on diny plus all six episodes,

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: you can watch and you get so invested in the story.

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 2: And I think it's so interesting talk about the Detroit

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: Youth Contac Choir because you guys definitely hit the spotlight

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: when you were on America's Got Talent. Yes, that was

40
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: a nationwide, worldwide people recognizing. I mean that was an

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: emotional when you guys how many people from the choir

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: were on America's Got Talent.

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: So we took fifty two young people to LA And

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: if it wasn't for Terry Crews hitting that golden buzzer,

45
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: we wouldn't be in the spot that we're in. And

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: shout out to Simon and the rest of that panel.

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: How we Gabrielle Union was actually on that panel, and Terry,

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 3: I mean they were like having sent for us.

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: Terry Crews was like every single one of them represents me,

50
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: yes in history, and I think people felt so connected

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: when they saw that, because if you never heard of

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: the Detroit Youth continc Choir dyc right, then it was

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: like amazing. Even seeing Simon put his fist in the air, he.

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 3: Was like that Simon, all right, yeah, I loved us.

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: Simon was actually brought to Tears our last visit on

56
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 3: agt All Stars. We did thunder right by imagining dragons,

57
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: and he was just like, I'm actually emotional. And when

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: he said that, everybody was like, wow, they brought Simon

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: and Tears. So that's the power that these young people.

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: Have, and let's discuss that because the reason that you

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: do what you do right with choir and seeing some

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: of these young kids even auditioning or trying to move up,

63
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: because there's three different levels.

64
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: If I'm yes, yeah, we have limelight center stage in

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 3: prime time.

66
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: Everybody want to be prime.

67
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: Timebody want to be prime time.

68
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: But everybody can't be prime time.

69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: Body can't be Prime time, yes.

70
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: But even seeing the life skills that you get, because

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: you've said this in the docu series. This is not

72
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: about you singing for the rest of your life and

73
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: leaving here and becoming a singer. But these are also

74
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: things that you can apply to everyday life. So what

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: are some things that the young children who are part

76
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: of DYC can learn for everyday life.

77
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: Well, they can learn. Of course, we do youth development

78
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: so they can learn life skills. We travel a lot,

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: we perform a lot. We also do have an educational component,

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: you know, we have the college readiness, you know, we

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: prepare our young people to go on to college. And

82
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: we also have two music studios in our space so

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: they can do their own creation, their own music creation.

84
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: My music director is up in here too, Donelle. You know,

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: he records us and we do all of our music

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: there as well. And also we do a lot of

87
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: community service. Yes, so these kids get like the whole

88
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: well rounded experience of the performing arts and life.

89
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: And I also think part of it is seen that

90
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: every day is not a great day too. You know,

91
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: sometimes you have to tell them, you know, you didn't

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: bring it today, and the kids can get emotional hearing

93
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 2: things like that. But some people will say kids today

94
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: are so coddled, and but they do need to know, they.

95
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: Do need love though. They need to know for me

96
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: that everything is gonna be all right. Even though some

97
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: of them have a mother and father, you have some

98
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: single parent homes up in there. You know, a lot

99
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: of our kids never even met their father. So when

100
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: they come to rehearsal, I'm the only father that they see.

101
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: I'm the only brother that they see. And the docuseries,

102
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: I just watched it. I did a bench watching thing

103
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: and it was like so emotional reliving some of the

104
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: things that I saw. It was great.

105
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: I know you said a filming this too before COVID

106
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: right or during or during COVID, But but that did

107
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: delay things a little, but it also gave you a

108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: chance to really get more into some of the stories.

109
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, it did, Like even some of the stories of

110
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: these young people that's in this in our choir, Like

111
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: you have a Gwynn Jackson who lost her father to

112
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: gun violence. You also have a couple other kids that

113
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: fell on some hard times and d YC was there

114
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: and actually helped bring them up in their spirits. So

115
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: that's what we're all about and Detroit is so resilient,

116
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: like we bounced.

117
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: Back and you can never count Detroit out.

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: You can't count the d you know what I'm saying.

119
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: And it's just great to be in New York. But

120
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: back to the kids. These young people are extraordinary and

121
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: through this docu series, you're going to see what makes

122
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: them extraordinary.

123
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: Now, this is also on the journey to go and

124
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: to perform at Carnegie Hall, which is something that you

125
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: didn't know what was going to happen right when you started.

126
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: Feeling right, I just thought they wanted to see my

127
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 3: life and stuff like that and what I do with

128
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: the kids. But to add that Carnegie Hall piece to

129
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: it was amazing.

130
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: And what I love about it too is that some

131
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: of these kids when they first get study, they're not

132
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: the best singers.

133
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: No, right, they don't have to.

134
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: Be like a young Variah carry anything like that to

135
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 2: be in the choir. So what are some of the

136
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: requirements what do you look for to see potential in

137
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: some of these young kids.

138
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: Well, I basically look for character, like they have to

139
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: have great character when they come in to audition, and

140
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: also they have to be able to sing la la

141
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: la la la if you can do la la la.

142
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: I was trying to do it at home.

143
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: Now I cannot, okay, in you in the choir, I'm definitely.

144
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: I mean, all you have to do is and you

145
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: know that's great because Limelight is the beginning piece to

146
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: the puzzle.

147
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that.

148
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: And you know, just to see people grow from Limelight, right,

149
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: they come from Limelight and they make it up to

150
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: prime time and I just think it's a wonderful system

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: we have.

152
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: So why did you even start, DYC.

153
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: Let's talk about you and what made you decide this

154
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: was something that you wanted to do. Because if I'm

155
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: not mistaken, over fifteen hundred students have gone through going.

156
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: Through the program. And okay, So I was twenty years

157
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: old actually singing with the choir that is now Detroit

158
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 3: Youth Choir was called Detroit Children's Concert Choir and it

159
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: was under the direction of mister Ivory. Right. He said, hey, Anthony,

160
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: I'm moving. I want you to take this choir to

161
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: the next level and it's yours. And I said, I

162
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: don't know, I'm only twenty years old. What do I

163
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: know about business? I took it over and from there

164
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: I started with seven young people because they all left

165
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: after he left except for seven. Now took seven and

166
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 3: turned it into what is now known as the world's

167
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: greatest the world's greatest youth choir that's out here at DYC.

168
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: How hard is it for you when you get so

169
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: attached to these students, But it is a level of commitment.

170
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: And you know what, it's not just commitment from the students,

171
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,119
Speaker 2: it's also from the families.

172
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: The parents are. The parents is the biggest piece of

173
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: the puzzle. I don't give a lot of shout out

174
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: to them a lot, but I'm going to shout them out.

175
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: Shout out to our DYC parents staff, and we come

176
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: together as a family. So it takes a village literally

177
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: to get these kids on that stage. They are. I mean,

178
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: the parents are so supportive, even though they give me

179
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: the side I sometime because I require so much of

180
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: their time that they're like, oh my god, here we go.

181
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: You got another rehearsal, We got this, we got that.

182
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: But you have to rehearse, you have to practice to

183
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: become better.

184
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes because I know students who have

185
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: played like an aau and all of that. Sometimes for

186
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: the parents, if parents aren't as invested or don't have

187
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: the time and the ability to be able to drive here,

188
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: go here. You know, it plays a part, that does

189
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: play a part, and that has to be difficult when

190
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: you know kids really want to participate, but it might

191
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: be some obstacles in order to make that happen.

192
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 3: And a lot of young people they come from like

193
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: different good neighborhoods, some bad neighborhood Some of them have

194
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 3: to deal with a parent that's not doing so well financially,

195
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: so they come to d YC for like refuge, right,

196
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: So they'll say, mister White, can you work with us?

197
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: We want our daughter, we want our son, and we

198
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: we were able to work with them, like it caught it. Actually,

199
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: it's a registration fee to be in DYC and once

200
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: they pay that, that's it for the year. So we

201
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: don't do an every week type deal.

202
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: So and it's not ridiculous. It's like one two hundred dollars, yeah, two.

203
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 3: Hundred dollars a year. And uh, they're responsible for their

204
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: uniforms as well. And that's nothing these days in age

205
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: as far as registration being in the program. So I'll

206
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: try to keep it really affordable for our parents.

207
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: How did you guys, decide which students you wanted to

208
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: focus on because there are so many extraordinary students that

209
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: are there.

210
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: So how did how did that happen?

211
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 3: Well, it was really the director, Rudy Valdez. He was like, hey,

212
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: point me out, like five kids that have some great stories.

213
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: I gave him five, but I think he went over

214
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: that and he chose some great kids. I know, Ryan

215
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: Bowen's is one of the young men. Kennedy fought, let

216
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 3: me see Gwynn chie Chi, uh you ch Chi and

217
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: Kayla Roach. That's the main five, but there's some other kids.

218
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: I forgot about.

219
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: Decision because this is a huge time commitment and so

220
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: imagine being a student. And he's like, Okay, those are

221
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: big decisions though, like life decisions. I have basketball here,

222
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: I have d y C here, and they both are

223
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: requiring me, like make a decisions.

224
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: A decision. You know what? It was rough for Azaria.

225
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: She's at Delaware State University right now, and she is extraordinary.

226
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: She's she been with me since she was nine and

227
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 3: nine to eighteen. I mean, her commitment to d YC

228
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: is extraordinary. And this story, this Docuseriies chronicalized everything of

229
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 3: her struggles with the basketball. You know, I was supporting

230
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: her with that as well, but I was like, Zar, here,

231
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: you got to choose one. You have to You can't

232
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: put one hundred percent in DYC while you playing basketball,

233
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: or you can't put one hundred percent in basketball while doing.

234
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: D and you also have school and you have school.

235
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: So I mean, that was a little tough for her.

236
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: But she came out of that, she really did, and

237
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: she's she's successful right now.

238
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: So I'm happy for What are some of the other

239
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: great success stories that you've had throughout your years.

240
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: Just give us a couple.

241
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: Uh. We had a girl Ala Stackhouse. She wound up

242
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: on Broadway like in the Book of Mormon.

243
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's huge.

244
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: She was. She went through DYC. I've had people become lawyers, doctors,

245
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: teachers out of the Detroit Youth Choir. And you wouldn't

246
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: know this just sitting up in rehearsal. I'm just going

247
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 3: through music and songs and different things. But they take

248
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 3: what I instruct them to do and apply it to

249
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: the art of teaching the art of being a lawyer

250
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: and a doctor. So they you know, they go on

251
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: and they come back and say, I appreciate you, mister white,

252
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 3: and I'm only I'm young. I'm like forty four. And

253
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: these young people they have kids too, so they put

254
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: their kids, their child in DYC. So it's kind of

255
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: it's kind of weird to see that, Like your son

256
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: is in the choir now, and I had you when

257
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: you were twelve, you know what I'm saying.

258
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: So it's just the amount of discipline and confidence that

259
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: it takes to be able to get up in front

260
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: of an audience and be prepared an on point. But

261
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 2: also that's not an easy thing to do, even just

262
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: to get on that stage.

263
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 3: It's not it's very hard to get on that Carnegie

264
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 3: stage though. That was scary, but it was joyful, you know.

265
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: I will say it was joyful because we accomplished something

266
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: that a lot of youth choirs haven't done yet, you know,

267
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: being in New York, you know what I'm saying. And

268
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: these kids were crying, See the cameras didn't show that.

269
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: They were actually like it was like, this is our moment,

270
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: you know, and then they were just oh, they was

271
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: breathing and the tears were coming down and it made

272
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: me tear up. And when I walked off that stage,

273
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: I was like it was like something being lifted off

274
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: my back and just to have them do that was extraordinary.

275
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: What do you hope that people who watch this docuseriies

276
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: will get out of it?

277
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: I hope they get get out of our docuseries hope

278
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 3: struggle how to deal with the young people of today.

279
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people don't really know how

280
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: to deal with our youth. And what I do. I

281
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: just tell them the truth. I know a lot of

282
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: people don't like the truth, but I'll say, hey, you know,

283
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: you need to work on that, or you're not sounding

284
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: so good today. Choir directors don't really do that because

285
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: they're scared, Oh they're going to go back to their mother,

286
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: you know, father or whatever. But I just going ahead

287
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: to say it. But the young people know that I'm

288
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: doing it out of love. So I want people to

289
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: get love out of this docu series and not so

290
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: much of It's not all about the music, you know

291
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: all the time at all.

292
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: About love, yeah, you know, and the camaraderie too, I think,

293
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: just to see their friendships. Yeah that are that you

294
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: get that developed and some people that are in there

295
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: that are friends.

296
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: And I can't remember her name, but she.

297
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: Was like, listen, if my best friend, Oh yeah, she's

298
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: like if I move up and she doesn't, but she

299
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: move up and I don't, I know. But just to

300
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: see how they also root for each because I think

301
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: that's a great life lesson too right.

302
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: It's not one of us, only one of us can

303
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: make it right.

304
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: And just to know that Detroit is being shown in

305
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: the positive light. I mean, they made the city look beautiful,

306
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: just like Detroit is. And even the place where we rehearse,

307
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: they made that look spectacular.

308
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: If you asked me, Detroit has so many beautiful locations.

309
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: Oh yes, you know.

310
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: And I know sometimes people will say, like I remember

311
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: I posted the building that I have in Midtown and

312
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,240

325
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: in Detroit.

326
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: Get your money in Detroit and see it grow, because

327
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: I mean, who would have thought, you know, pouring into

328
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 3: an organization like us like DYC would actually grow into

329
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: a Disney Right, that's amazing. That's something else. And I

330
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: was telling Donell over there, like what you ever thought

331
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: that we would have been on Disney coming from like

332
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: America's Got talent? Because this young man did the music

333
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: for us for AGT along with their producers. So he

334
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: was up in there working and and we was all

335
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 3: working together, and that's how we got the Golden buzzer

336
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: and everything.

337
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: And you know what, you don't know either, there's always

338
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: more levels to unlock.

339
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: So it's America's Got talent, it's this Disney Plus series

340
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: Docusaries Choir that's out now, and there's Carnegie Hall, and

361
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: and part way through and the guy next to me

362
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: went to stopped talking to me, so I gave him one.

00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: I said, so do you want one of these? And

365
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: he was like, oh is it? I was like, it's

00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: from the drug store right here. He took it and

367
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: he was knocked out.

368
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: Knock him out?

369
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: I thank goodness.

370
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you don't want to talk to nobody

371
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: on the twenty twenty hour flight, not like that. But

372
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: movies I will, Yeah, yes.

373
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: And now when it comes to your own inspirations, yes,

374
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 2: where do you draw inspiration from for the choir?

375
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: I'm glad you asked that. Actually a choir that was

376
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: here in New York, the Boy's Cry of arlom Oh. Yes,

377
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: they were a big milestone inspiration for me, and the

378
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: kids are tired of me talking about the Boy's Choir.

379
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 3: And when I saw them perform live back in Detroit,

380
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 3: I just fell in love with them. I heard them

381
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: on a few soundtracks Malcolm x Glory with Denzel and

382
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 3: also they were on Jungle Fever and a couple of

383
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: other Spike Lee joints. You know what I'm saying. And

384
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: when I found out of Bottom, I fell in love.

385
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 3: And that is our true inspiration for the Detroit Youth

386
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: Choir because if you look at us, we have the

387
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: logo just like they had their logo. We always in uniform,

388
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 3: just like they were always in uniform. So I chose

389
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: that choir to emulate because of their discipline and the culture,

390
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 3: the culture that they brought to choir because they were dancing,

391
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: singing and everything as well. So I wanted to continue

392
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: that legacy of the Harlem Boys Choir just to give

393
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: them honor.

394
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you had these kids running working out. They

395
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: have to do all these because.

396
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 2: That's not an easy task to get out like le stays,

397
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: because they're not just singing.

398
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: They got routines.

399
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: DYC is the whole package. And I would say this

400
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: to everybody, anybody out there that want to join our choir.

401
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 3: It's like a sport. It's like basketball, it's like football.

402
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: So we do jumping jacks, we we do knee highs.

403
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: You gotta have your wind, you got and you.

404
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 3: Know, you gotta have that breath right. And even though

405
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: I don't join in with that, I love watching them,

406
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 3: you know, get there, stammina up because the dancing scene,

407
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: for real, for real is really hard.

408
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: And you know what, the Detroit music scene popping the

409
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: way that it is. I can see a lot of

410
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: Detroit artists being like, we need to work with the

411
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,520
