00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: we're doing this from Los Angeles with Lindsay Sterling, who

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: I think we should start with how we met first,

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: because which as you came on the radio show, right,

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: we didn't know each other. That was that like three

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: years ago. It was four for like four years and

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: two months in fourteen days, but I'm not counting. Um. Yeah,

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: So we were doing the c MT Awards and we

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: got paired together. We're going to announce the winner of

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: some categories. You remember it at all? I do well.

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: I remember going on your show first right that morning, yeah,

35
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: the morning, good morning of and then it was like

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: we did a interview. I played a little literally on

37
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: the violin, and then that night right we went and

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: presented together, and I do remember you went off script

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: because I was super nervous to read the tell a prompter.

40
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't like, I have dyslexia and so I don't

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: read super well. So I was so nervous. And then

42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: you went off script, and I'm like, when do I

43
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: come in window? Oh, No. I got in trouble for

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: that too, because you're really, when you're doing live television

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: not supposed to go off script. Absolutely not. Yeah, but

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: I wrote a joke right before we went out that

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: I thought was so funny that America did not tell me.

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: I didn't, but I didn't really know you either, And

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: if I told you, I thought maybe you would tell

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: on me to one of the producers, like run Side Station,

51
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: just to tell a joke, maybe because you've been like, hey,

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Bobby's doing something, I'm not quite comfortable, and so then

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: they would have cut. It was just a strategic Okay,

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: I gave it to you. That was fine. We we

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: handled it beautifully. No one would Ann. I don't remember

56
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: the joke. I don't remember anything about the actual anything.

57
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: I remember talking to you afterward and going out. She's

58
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: really nice, and she was really because you played the

59
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: show that morning and then you were just kind of

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: gone for a while. Then you disappeared pixied away. But

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: we had talked a little bit online. But then when

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars came up, I was like, hey, lindsay,

63
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: what do you think about this show? And you said,

64
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: I said, a hundred percent, it's the most amazing experience.

65
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: But I also told you it's not easy, and like,

66
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: why it wasn't easy? And so did I help prepare

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: you at all for how hard it is? I don't

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: know if I could have been prepared. Really, yeah, but

69
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: everything about you was I don't believe everything Lindsay says,

70
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: not because you don't tell the truth. Because you worked

71
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: so hard and you were doing five different things because

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: you were touring, you were making music, you were doing

73
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. So they were going, well, you

74
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: don't do as much as Lindsay. That is not true,

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: but they didn't know at the time when they were

76
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: so they were like, but so don't listen, it's not

77
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: that hard. So they were telling me this was the

78
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars team. I'll see they always like

79
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: talk it down, and I was like, don't. Yeah, if

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: don't listen, you better clear your schedule if you're going

81
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: to do that show, because it is so they told me,

82
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: if you have four days and you can do four

83
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: hours for four days a week, you'll be fine. And

84
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, Oh, I can do that's a lot.

85
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking myself, Wow, that's a lot, but I can

86
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: do that, but now I can hear I have. I've

87
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: done seven days a week for six weeks, probably six

88
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: hours a day, at least six hours. Yeah, well they

89
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: don't tell you. They tell you about the dance rehearsals,

90
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: but then they don't tell you about all the camera

91
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: interviews you have to do, which takes like two hours,

92
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: and the costume fittings, and then the extra group numbers

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: that you have to like it adds up to at

94
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: least six hours a day. Well, then you ended up

95
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: dancing in our trio group because when they said you

96
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: have treo, I was like, oh, I have tovite Lindsay,

97
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: because one, you're really good. You finished. Second you should

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: have won, but you don't have to respond to that.

99
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: I thought you should have won. And then you came

100
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: and dance with us, and that was really nice of

101
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: you because that you have to get yourself into a

102
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: whole different mind frame and you're about to be on

103
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: National TV. Two. You know what's funny is when you

104
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: asked me to do it, I was like, oh, sure,

105
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: that'll be fun. I didn't realize, like I almost forgot

106
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: how intense the show was. It was only a year ago,

107
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: but like being put back into the ballroom, getting back

108
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: in my els, and just remembering the highs and the

109
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: lows of it. Like I don't think I've ever had

110
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: any experience in my life other than that show where

111
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: I've felt so like joyous and happy and terrified at

112
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: the same time. And that's the best way I can

113
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: describe and exhausted like so because I'm so happy to

114
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I'm so just scared. My guts jump

115
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: every show. You, I mean, the part that gets you.

116
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: The people at home don't hear. But when we stand

117
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: on that dance floor, you see like this little video

118
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: play of your week and kind of the first time

119
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: you see it, and then all of a sudden, when

120
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: it ends, you just hear this click click click, and

121
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: your mind goes blank. It's like you forget everything and

122
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: you just have to rely on adrenaline and muscle memory

123
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: because the click track. Again, you don't hear it at home,

124
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: but for us what it is, and we're us in

125
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: a music some too, because we'll hear it in our

126
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: ears and it will keep us on beat. Like the

127
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: audience won't hear it on a stage show, but they

128
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: played in the dance room because in case you have

129
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: to be on the first note or know the first note. Yeah,

130
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: it allows you to be right on It's like it

131
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: that's the purpose of it. But I don't think I

132
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: would have done Dancing with the Stars without you and

133
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: your advice, because I'd have been like, oh, I don't know,

134
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm not really a dancer. Would be fun, but I

135
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: don't know if I can dedicate this much time to it.

136
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: But I think I said that in the package to

137
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: the thing they run. I was like, I I don't think

138
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: I would have done without Lindsay telling me to do it.

139
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: So thanks for all of this. Like, I actually have

140
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: kind of calves now for the first time in my life,

141
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, I noticed. It's like when

142
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: I was twelve, I started doing push ups and I

143
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: started to notice like bulges in my arms. Now I'm

144
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: not twelve, but I'm starting to see bulges in my

145
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: calves and have a really bad bird legs. It's kind

146
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: of a breakthrough for me. So you just have to

147
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: do more jiving and waltzing in your life. Was that

148
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: what you feel like? That's the hardest one yet for

149
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: my calves. Really, they're all terrible. None of them have

150
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: happened where I go. Yeah, that was a good one.

151
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: Really well, you're killing it, making me proud. I hope

152
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: you're not cursed me for suggesting that you do. No, No,

153
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: not at all. It's one of the craziest experiences of

154
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: my life, good and bad. That was just not why

155
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: I actually brought you here. You have a Christmas record

156
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: that we're gonna talk about, but it will do one

157
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: song first year and play some of this. This is

158
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: Carol the Bells from your Christmas record, which is called

159
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: what's the record called? It's called Warmer in the Winter.

160
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, so on this that do

161
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: do do? Is that your fingers plucking the strings? Yeah? Okay,

162
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: tell me talk me through this. You're plugging the string.

163
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: You play a violin like a kind of a guitar. Yeah,

164
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: you still hold it like a violin. Um, but they

165
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: called pizzicato in the classical world, and you're basically plucking

166
00:07:49,800 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: the strings as if similar to a guitar. Come on,

167
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: could you play all this right now? If you could,

168
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: you pull up your violin and play right now. If

169
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: I had it in the studio, I could play. I'm

170
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: not saying would you play it right now? But you

171
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: could do. You know, do you know every song on

172
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: your Christmas record? Absolutely, you could play it, yeah, because

173
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: you're going you do a whole Christmas show. We do.

174
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: We're actually in rehearsals right now for it, and it's

175
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: it's so much fun. Like this was actually my favorite

176
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: album I've probably ever done. I had so much fun

177
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: just like getting in the Christmas spirit and putting my

178
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: spin on Christmas. And then for me, writing music is

179
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: so much about the experience of it, and that is

180
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: the live show, Like that's kind of where the end

181
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: game of where I'm writing the music for. And so

182
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: when I'm putting together the show, it's like this is

183
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: how the music was always meant to be heard, is

184
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: in a visual storytelling way. And so like I'm in

185
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: the you know, I'm in the studio right now with

186
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: the dancers learning all the choreography, and it just makes

187
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: me so excited to take this show on the road.

188
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: We did it last year and now we're totally switching

189
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: the show up and and doing it again this year.

190
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: So you start playing the violin win when I was

191
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: six years old. By the way, I'm gonna ask a

192
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of questions. I already know the answer too, because

193
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I read your book. So just even though you know,

194
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I know, all right, so you start playing it. Win

195
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: six years old? Your parents play violin guitar, No, but

196
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: they love classical music. And so when I was really little,

197
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: they would play these old classical records, like on this

198
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: scratchy record player, and then they used to take me

199
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: and my sisters to classical concerts like Orchestras in the park,

200
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, and um. And I noticed that the violinists

201
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: always got the solos, they always got the fast, melodic

202
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: like exciting parts. And I was like, oh, that's a star,

203
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Like that's the one that gets all the attention. I

204
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: want to play that wooden thing. And I started begging

205
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: for violin lessons as like you know, when my when

206
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: I was like five, and by the time I was six,

207
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: they finally were like, A think she's serious. So you're

208
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: six years old, you want violin lessons. That's a I mean,

209
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: that's a mature instrument for a six year old. I

210
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: think when I was six, I wanted a trash can lid,

211
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: a stick, you know, I was wanted to beat something

212
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: to time. But you want to violin, and do they

213
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: give you they buy you a real violin because they're

214
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: expensive at six years old. Um, we rented one. We

215
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: rented this little and they're a lot less expensive when

216
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: they're only like, you know, six inches long. They make

217
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: kid violins like, yeah, they're they're adorable. They're like little

218
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: tiny they look like toys, but it's because there's no

219
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: way a child can play, like your arm won't even

220
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: fit to reach the where your fingers are supposed to

221
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: go on the board. Um. So yeah, I had a

222
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: little tiny violin that we rented, and I rented um

223
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: until I got to a full size violin. So what

224
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: was the part about, I'm gonna go to the book

225
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: where you had a cardboard violin for a while. Oh

226
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: so that is just before they give a tiny six

227
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: year old, like, you know, an expensive instrument for what

228
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: it is. Um. They first gave me a serial box

229
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: with could like a paper towel roll as the board

230
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: where the fingerboard, and so that would teach me how

231
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: to hold it. And once I proved that I could

232
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: hold the cereal box and the paper towel roll, well, um,

233
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: they upgraded me to a real violin. Was there a

234
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: time where you said I'm kind of down with Violin definitely. Actually, yeah,

235
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: there was a couple of times I almost quit. Um.

236
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: One main time was when I was a teenager and

237
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: I um told my mom I wanted to quit, and

238
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: she kind of sat me down and she's like, I've

239
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: paid for lessons for you since you were a kid,

240
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: and that was not you know, that was a huge

241
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: sacrifice for my parents. And she's like, just play until

242
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Just do that for me,

243
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: and if you still want to quit, you know, in

244
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: four months, you know, in the end of the year

245
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: rolled around, she's like, you can quit. And you know,

246
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: because we all go through like ups and downs and

247
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: slumps and lows and things. And by the time the

248
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: new year rolled around, I had kind of gotten through

249
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: this this slump and I didn't want to quit anymore.

250
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: When you were in high school, you were the what kid,

251
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: the blank kid? I was. UM. I was kind of

252
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: a kid that did every thing like I did sports,

253
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: I was on I was in a video editing class,

254
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: and I like was super nerdy about video production and

255
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: editing videos. Um, I did orchestra, I did banned. I mean,

256
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: I was little bits of everything is what I would call.

257
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Were you a good athlete. I was actually pretty decent,

258
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: Like at soccer and cross country. It wasn't the I

259
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: was never the best, but I was, you know, I could.

260
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: I was on all the varsity teams. And were you

261
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: the best musician in your band? Um? Yes, I was.

262
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: At what age did you start to separate from people

263
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: your peers? At what age did you start to go

264
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: and not in any way of like I'm so good,

265
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: but you've noticed a difference of Wow, I'm actually performing

266
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: at a higher level than my peers that are pretty good, right. Um, well,

267
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: I think since I started when I was six, most

268
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: most people don't start the violin with private lessons when

269
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: they're six, and so as soon as I went into school,

270
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: I was always way ahead of the other kids in

271
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: the orchestra. Um. However, that was like being the big

272
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: fish in a small pond, you know, with your public

273
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: school orchestra. I also did like these extracurricular orchestras where

274
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: all the kids that started when they were six were

275
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: in those orchestras, And that was the place where I

276
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: was like, oh gosh, you know, my humility check of

277
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually very middle of the road here, And I

278
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: think that is one of the reasons. I was about

279
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: to go to college to to study music, and I

280
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: even I was offered a scholarship, and I realized one

281
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: that I didn't really love the violin anymore, and that

282
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: was the second time I almost quit. But also I

283
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of got to the realization of I'm just going

284
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: to be, you know, playing in the back of some

285
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: orchestra for the rest of my life. And I kind

286
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: of had to think about it of what can I

287
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: do that's different so that I can do this in

288
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: a way that at won that I love it and

289
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: can rEFInd my passion, but also so that I can

290
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: have a voice in this and I'm not just begging

291
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: to be accepted as the back chair player for a

292
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: public orchestra. UM. And that's when I started to write

293
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: my own music and be creative with it. UM. And

294
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's I'm so glad that I wasn't just

295
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: a little bit better, because if I've been just a

296
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: little bit better, I would have been getting the solos

297
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: and I would have been the first chairs of like

298
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: the really good orchestras, and that's where I would still be.

299
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: But thank heavens, I was just not quite good enough.

300
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: So I had to think outside the box, and I

301
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: had to get really creative with it. So you're thinking, Okay,

302
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: I'll do something different, But what do you do? You

303
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: know you want to dance, to play violin, or maybe

304
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: you want to juggle. How did you kind of end

305
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: up in doing what you do now, which you play

306
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: electric violin and dance at the same time, which is

307
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. That is that accurate? You play electric violin?

308
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: I do I play the What would your title if

309
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: you had to give yourself a job title? I mean,

310
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: I usually just say I'm an electronic violinist, you know,

311
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: but you don't play the normal non electronic violin. That's

312
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: the thing I do, but I don't know what to

313
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: call myself. So when that usually quickly paints a picture

314
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: for people of like, oh, she does the violin in

315
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: a different way, because I do still play like leaku

316
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: stick violent. All my recordings are done with an acoustic violin, um,

317
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: but a lot of my shows are with electric violence,

318
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: just because I can make them sparkle and they look

319
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: really cool. How many violences do you have at your house?

320
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: I probably have about seven violins in my house. Well

321
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: that's how I thought you'd have, Like I know, everyone's

322
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: always surprised. I'm like, I'm a moderation kind of a person,

323
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, I don't I have like really nice violins

324
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: like and also violence. If you get to like really

325
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: nice violins, they're very expensive. And so like I have

326
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: my one really nice violin, and then I have some

327
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, fully like I have two violins that are

328
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: fully Swolvorskiki crystal hy even say Swolvorski crystal. So you know,

329
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: I can't have a million of them if I want

330
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: them all to be really special. Do they have violins

331
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: from back in the like Beethoven days? Are they still around? It?

332
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: All there? And that's why violins, a good one is

333
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: so expensive, is because the wood gets better with age

334
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: and sweetens, and so the best violins you can get

335
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: are ones that are, you know, a hundred plus years old. Really, yeah,

336
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: have you ever played a hundred plus year old violin?

337
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: Do you have one? That's what my mind is about

338
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: a hundred years old. And you know that's why I'm

339
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: like so careful with that thing, because you can't replace it,

340
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: Like no violence sounds the same, and also it's it

341
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: was it's a hundred years old. It had to wait

342
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: till it was a hundred to be what it's worth.

343
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: And that's why they're so valuable. Do you ever go

344
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: in to a music store and you just go and

345
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: you're just like looking around and you grab a violin

346
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: and you kind of want to show off a little

347
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: bit and you want to make people like look, Because

348
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: that's what I would do if I had like some

349
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: extreme talent, I would go into like if I was

350
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: a great singer, I would go into a karaoke place

351
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: and just wail and have no one know it was me,

352
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: the great singer, but just be amazed that someone singing

353
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: great was on the karaoke stage. Do you ever go

354
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: into like that? Do they have a guitar They have

355
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: a guitar Violence of car center they have those. They

356
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: don't you ever going to violent center just grab a

357
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: violin and not tell them that you're like super proficient

358
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: at violin. You know, violin shops are very they're very different.

359
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: They're not like a guitar center. They're like old houses

360
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: where there's just violins lining the walls and they're all

361
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: super old and like really cool and so but there's

362
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: all I had to say. It was a little bit

363
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: of a snobby community, so like I would think it

364
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: was a snobby it's snobby community. So like walking into

365
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: that kind of shop, you don't get mediocre players that

366
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: walk into a shop like that. You know what I'm saying.

367
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: Could I walk into one of those shops You're like, hey,

368
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm really interested. Can I see the one year all violin?

369
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: Probably not. I wouldn't let me hold it. I mean

370
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: probably not. No, if you've never played, you know, they'd

371
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: be like, heck no, when I hear violin, I think

372
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: are really rich people, because like to me, that's a

373
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: did you grow up rich? No? Absolutely not. It was

374
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: actually Hue. That's why it took my parents so long.

375
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 1: You know, I begged when I was five years old

376
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: for lessons, and it wasn't until I was six that

377
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: they were like, I think, okay, you know most parents

378
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: are like, our child wants to play the violin, like

379
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: get him something, get him a violin. Um. But it

380
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: was such a sacrifice, Like my parents really were struggling

381
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: so much financially to make ends me. Like my mom

382
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: talks about how we couldn't afford sour cream, you know,

383
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: like every penny was accounted for and so it was

384
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: a huge sacrifice to rent this violin and pay for lessons.

385
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: And you know, my mom found a student, a college

386
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: student that was willing to teach me every other week

387
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: for only fifteen minutes, because that's all she could afford.

388
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: But I think because of that, I knew it was

389
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 1: a sacrifice. And I knew as a child that if

390
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: I did not practice, the lessons were going to go away.

391
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: They weren't. You know, it wasn't a casual thing, and

392
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: my parents told me that, and um, so I think

393
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason that I was diligent with

394
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: it as a child. When we were doing Dancing with

395
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: the Stars and we just had a week, not even

396
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: a week, four days, we were working together. We would

397
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: train and this is all going to come back, but

398
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: we were trained together. And then I would have to

399
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: go to work. But people working on the set would

400
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: text me and go, hey, Lindsey still here practicing, and

401
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: she's by herself, by myself, and she's over in the

402
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: corner and she hasn't left, and it's and I would

403
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: be at the studio for two three hours and I

404
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: would get a text like they said, Lindsay hasn't left,

405
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: and we would do split practices where I'd practice all day,

406
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: would do radio, and then I would go back in

407
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: the evening and you would rejoin, but except you never

408
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: stopped practicing. And what a lot of people would see

409
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: in you on the surface is oh wow, she's so talented,

410
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: like how great she It just must all come so easily.

411
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: Myself included, if I'm being completely transparent, I thought, oh wow,

412
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: it must be nice to just have that and this

413
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: this innate ability to hear and be good at something. However,

414
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: what I saw, and just the dancing thing, is that

415
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: you work and harden a lot. Yes, So where does

416
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: that work ethic come from? How was that instilled in you? What?

417
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: What was it? You know? I I'm not quite sure where.

418
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: My parents always really instilled in us, like a value

419
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: of work. Since we were kids, we had to earn

420
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: things if we wanted them, like I said, because my

421
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: parents didn't have money to just like give us things.

422
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: It was something where like I mean, I started my

423
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: first business when I was like a kid, selling cookies,

424
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: and or my my friend and I started doing a

425
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: business where passed out business card. We were called the

426
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: ready to work Girls, and we would offer to clean

427
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: people's houses like when we were kids and we had

428
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: business cards like as little children, and people thought it

429
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: was so cute, But you know, that's how I earned

430
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: money for anything I wanted, um, outside of just like

431
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: your two outfits for school that year, you know. And

432
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: so I think it from a very young age, I

433
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: just had instilled in me that you know, life takes

434
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: work and um. And I think that's what I attribute

435
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: to like all my success is I'm honestly, I wasn't

436
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: the most talented violinist. It's just that I've put in

437
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: the hours. And same with Dancing with the Stars, like

438
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: Mark and I were the last to leave the studio

439
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: almost every single night. We put in the time. He

440
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: worked with me relentlessly, and you know, because that was

441
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: the first time I'd ever had dance training, and not

442
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: only did I want to do well in the show,

443
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: but I'd wanted to dance since I was a kid.

444
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: You know. My parents actually took me to a violin

445
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: lesson and a dance class because I asked for both

446
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: when I was a child and they were like, you

447
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: gotta choose one, like we can't afford both. And so

448
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: when I was on Dancing with the Stars, it was

449
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: the first time like something I wanted to learn my

450
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: whole life. I was getting a chance to learn from

451
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: one of the best ballroom teachers in the world. You know,

452
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: for however much time I wanted to put in and

453
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: I didn't take that for granted. I wanted to be

454
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: as good as I could possibly be. Yeah, that's interesting,

455
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: And that was a realization to me. Watching you work

456
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: was that I was wrong. I judged wrong and unfairly

457
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: because you're good. But I watched you work to be great,

458
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: and I thought that was pretty cool, Like like really,

459
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, that's cool. Like she

460
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: she's very gritty. I think that's what I told me,

461
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: You're very gritty. You grew up where Gilbert, Arizona. What's

462
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: Gilbert Arizona About Gilbert Arizona. It changed so much since

463
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: I grew up there. But when I, you know, I

464
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: was a child, it was full of corn fields and

465
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: cotton fields and dairy farms. And to this day, the

466
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: smell of cowmaneure was like my childhood home. Your neighbors cows, Yes,

467
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: my neighbors had cows. We had chickens and horses in

468
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: my backyard, and you know, we gardened. We went picked corn,

469
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, in the cornfield, Like I was a little

470
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: country bumpkind. We like to play in the ditch for fun.

471
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: Like That's what I did as a kid, and I

472
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't trade that childhood for anything like one. It taught

473
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: me to be kind of gritty and like getting the

474
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: mud and make things happen, you know. And uh. At

475
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: the same time, though, um, it's crazy how much it's

476
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: changed now. It's like a booming city. It's it's almost

477
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: like I don't even recognize it when I go home.

478
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: But it was a great way to be a kid.

479
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: Your mom still in Gilbert, My mom is still there,

480
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: same house. Yeah, do you have Is your bedroom still

481
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: the same? You know? It's funny my bedroom is the

482
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: only one that's still the same because my mom has

483
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: kept our rooms until the kids getting married and then

484
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: she'll like like she's like, I always want you to

485
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: feel like you have a home until you, you know,

486
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: have your own family and build your own home. But

487
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: so my room is the only one left. Do you

488
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: sleep in it when you go home? I do? And

489
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: do you have posters up of John the Taylor Thomas?

490
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: Those those did get taken down Okay, so you grew

491
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: up in Gilbert, Arizona, and you go to college for

492
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: a bit. Um I did. I went to by U

493
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: and graduated by U, the whole thing. Yeah, you finished

494
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: school and you think, what do you want? What are

495
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: you gonna go do? What's the idea? Well, by the

496
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: time I finished school, I had you know, I started

497
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: out as a film major, studying film, wanting to be

498
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: a director, and you know, I loved it, but I

499
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: just didn't feel right. So I ended up switching degrees

500
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: halfway through and becoming a recreational therapist is what I

501
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: wanted to be. Wait, what is that? What is the

502
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: recreational therapist? Oh, it's the best thing ever. I wanted

503
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: to work with troubled teenagers and treatment centers, and you're

504
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: the person that plans all of their activities. But like,

505
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: for example, you would do maybe an art project, but

506
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: you're getting the girls or the you know, the kids

507
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: to express their emotions and their feelings through a painting,

508
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: because sometimes these kids don't want to express it verb

509
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: or they just can't. But it was amazing how much

510
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: they would open up when you get them to do it,

511
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: either artistically or get them outside on a horse, or

512
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: get them rock climbing, and you know, comparing climbing a

513
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: wall to like climbing over the challenges, it's like making

514
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: it physical for them. So you want to do that.

515
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: But you finished school with a degree and recreational so

516
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: I could be a recreational therapist. But then you go, Okay,

517
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: I really don't want to do that either. Yeah, it

518
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: was my last year in school I realized I was like,

519
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: you know, what's all I thought about was music. I

520
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: had finally kind of discovered my voice, you know, I had,

521
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: like I said, decided not to study music, but I

522
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: didn't ever stop playing. I kept playing with bands or

523
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: writing music and you know, trying out all these different styles.

524
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: And I didn't know what I wanted to be. I

525
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: just knew I was excited about music and wanted to

526
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: kind of reinvigorate my passion. And once I found like

527
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: a sound that I loved, I was obsessed again, like

528
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: the way I was when I was six years old

529
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: and I first held that cereal box, like I was

530
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: consume by it and in like a really cool way,

531
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: the way that I hadn't felt in years. And so

532
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: I was just basically trying to finish school because I

533
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 1: was like, I'm the kind of person I was, like,

534
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: I paid for my own college. I put myself through

535
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: college while while working, and I was like, I'm not

536
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: going to not get this degree that I am so

537
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: close to. So it's almost like I was walking two

538
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: very different paths that we're getting farther and farther apart,

539
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: as I was trying to start a music career but

540
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: also trying to finish school and um. But so by

541
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: the time I finished school, I had already started a

542
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, and I had already like I was already

543
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: planning my first or I think I was about to

544
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: start planning my first ever tour. The YouTube thing is

545
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: so interesting to me because like you're a real life

546
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: like you thrived in new YouTube, yes, like when YouTube

547
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: really was launching people into their desired area. Like you're

548
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: one of those people who figured out YouTube early. Thank heavens,

549
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you're in the right place at the

550
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: right time. And thankfully I met um Devin Graham, who's

551
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: a cinematographer who has a YouTube channel, and he saw

552
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: what I was doing. He had seen I had posted

553
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: one video on YouTube solely to get it to the

554
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: Ellen show like. I posted it and then sent them

555
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: a link. But the only way I knew how to

556
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: get it to them was by putting it on this

557
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: thing called YouTube. And that video went viral for lack

558
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: of a better term. I have since taken it down.

559
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: It's still survived. Someone else put it up, of course,

560
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: as all things do on the internet. Um it's so bad.

561
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: It's um me dancing to the black Eyed peas pump

562
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: it while playing the violin. It was the first time

563
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: I really was like, I mean, and the funny thing

564
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: is is now people look at me and I'm I'm

565
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: a dancer. Now you know. I've I've taught myself to

566
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: dance and after Dancing with the Stars, escalated myself quite

567
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: a bit even further. But at the time I'd never

568
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: tried to dance, so it was like it was like

569
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: as if you were like, oh, go out there and

570
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: play football, Lindsay, it's the same thing. I was a

571
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: terrible dancer, but I just really this idea and I

572
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: was like, if I could dance and play the violin,

573
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: no one's doing that and it would be so cool. Um.

574
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: So I posted this video where I played over the

575
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: actual black Eyed piece pump at track like this little

576
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: violent line I wrote, and I'm dancing my little heart

577
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: out in my living room and it is so bad.

578
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: See if you can find it, Mike this Google it's

579
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: let see Lindsay Sterling pump. It would probably come up.

580
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: But I don't know why I'm telling you this. It's

581
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: it's hilarious because it's one of those things where it's like, wow,

582
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: come along way and it went viral. What was viral

583
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: back then? So that's the funny thing. Back then viral

584
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: was it got about half a million views, which is

585
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: a lot for the time, Like this was two thousand

586
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: and seven, I think when I put it up, and

587
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, that was a massive amount of views. I

588
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: remember everyone, all my friends being like, what, you're like famous,

589
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: You've got you know, half a million views on this video.

590
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 1: And I didn't even understand yet that YouTube was like

591
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: a thing that was like I didn't understand that you

592
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: could have your own channel. I just thought, oh, I

593
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: posted a video and like now what And so I

594
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: didn't even touch it for a while until I realized, um, oh,

595
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: this is where you can like I started to realize

596
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: there were all these other people with platforms with fans

597
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: that like subscribe to them and wanted to see more.

598
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: And these people were celebrities by playing videos online. And

599
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: at this time, I've been going to all these record

600
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: labels trying to get people to believe in my stuff,

601
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: trying to get people to like think that I was cool,

602
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: and nobody saw the vision at all. And suddenly there

603
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: was this world without gatekeepers, where you put it up

604
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: and if people like it, they share it. And that's

605
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: where my career was born. Is it called Lindsay hip

606
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: hop violin? Oh? It probably? Is it a black and white?

607
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: I think the sugar poem Faery song is playing. I

608
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 1: think there's still the album's playing. This is in our

609
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: studio we're working on okay. I think we'll probably have

610
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: two roll in here on the computer. This is an

611
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: our computer. Give us a break here, Lindsey startling. I'm

612
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: judging so hard, so hard. So it's black and white.

613
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: You look m M nineteen, Like, look at that outfit.

614
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: You're in cut off shorts, but no, it's cut off sweats.

615
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: It looks like tall black socks. Like my hair. Your

616
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: hair's kind of cool. You was my peacock hairstyle. Let

617
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: me hear this which one? Is this too bad? The

618
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: folks at home can't see. They can make up Lindsay

619
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: hip hop, Violin, Lessy Darling and you don't like this,

620
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: it's terrible. I mean, does that not bad to you? Mike?

621
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: Look pretty good to me, But they can't the dancing though,

622
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: the dancing is it looks just looks like it's So

623
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: that's better than what I do on National TV right now,

624
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: if that says anything. So you put this up? And

625
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: where are you shooting this? What room is this? This

626
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: is my college apartment. My roommate was pressing record on

627
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: the tripod for me, and yes, and that's the first one.

628
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: And you took it down. You don't want to leave

629
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: it up for the Smithsonian well partially actually the real

630
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: I am all about like, hey, people should know, Like

631
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: it's cool that people see where you came from, I think,

632
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: But I took it down for copyright purposes. I used

633
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: the actual Black Eyed Peas song, which now there used

634
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: to be a huge gray area and YouTube where you're like,

635
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: if I don't monetize it, it's okay, not okay anymore?

636
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: What's up now on this guy's channel? Yeah, but he's

637
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: not rack like he's not a YouTuber. He's like one

638
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: point three million views, but that's like, you know what

639
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not a YouTube personality, like no one's

640
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: watching his anyway. He maybe now out of comments say

641
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: I love this, they should more should be like that

642
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: comment on that thing. Let me read someone says, Lindsay's

643
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: first video found out when I was in sixth grade,

644
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: and I loved it so much. So cool to see

645
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: she's so famous and producing such amazing work. Your fans

646
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: are hardcore too, by the way, and they're all from

647
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: all over the world, Like you tour all over the world.

648
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: Just so cool. Do you ever go to like Outh

649
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: America and tour like places like that? It's just different language,

650
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: completely different culture, absolutely, like we do South America. We've

651
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: gone to Eastern Europe and Russia and we've gotten to Asia.

652
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: And what is it like to go to somewhere like

653
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: Russia and you're playing music for people that you don't

654
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: speak the same language. Yeah, and but you still speak

655
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: the same language. And that's what's so cool about being

656
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: a most you know, nine pcent of my stuff is instrumental,

657
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: and so to be able to go to a place

658
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: and be able to have no language barrier in the music.

659
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool and I think that's why I've done

660
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: so well on a global platform. Um. But also it's

661
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: just insane to me, Like, I never traveled. I'll be

662
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, my family didn't have any money when I

663
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: was growing up, so I like, I didn't really leave Arizona.

664
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: And then suddenly, you know, I am in Europe on

665
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: tour and doing shows. And it was the weirdest thing.

666
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: That first tour in Europe. It was, you know, I

667
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: did a little tour in the US and then I

668
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: went straight to Europe and I just couldn't believe. I

669
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: would show up to a venue in Paris or France

670
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: or wherever, you know, wherever we were, people would be

671
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: there and they'd be like chanting my name in their accent,

672
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, and say and I was like, this is insane.

673
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: Was that the crowd from Ratatu the movie sound? What

674
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: accent was that? That was? That's fresh? Lin say, so

675
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: you go to these places and they know your music,

676
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: but you don't speak the same language. What does a

677
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: show like because you're playing people don't areart singing along? Yeah,

678
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: my shows are very you know, and it depends on

679
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: the type of room we're playing, but especially now, like

680
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: they used to be much rowdier crowds because we'd play

681
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: small clubs and everybody's intimate, and they would they would

682
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: jump around and like around like kind of not like,

683
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, my fans aren't that intense, you know so

684
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: And also, but I realized the more I've you know,

685
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: expanded as an artist, my crowds are so strangely diverse,

686
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: like no one knows what to make of it. You

687
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: have an older elderly couple that have always loved the

688
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: violin that are there, and they're dressed up on nice

689
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: You've got your guys in French coats that are metaled

690
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: heads that think, oh she shreds, she's a shredder. You've

691
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: got your gamers, You've got your your teenage girls, your

692
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: little kids. Like it's the weirdest demographic. And so now

693
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: I do mostly seated venues because I want everyone to

694
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: be comfortable. I want the elderly couple to be able

695
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: to sit and enjoy. I want kids to not have

696
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: to like be holding you know, their parents holding them up.

697
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: And so I play very you know, seeded venues, and

698
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: my shows are very much people watch like they come

699
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: to watch. They're not usually cheering or chanting, like of

700
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: course they'll clap in between songs, but it's not like

701
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: a rowdy yeah yeah, yeah crowd. It's a very like

702
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: we're dancing. There's ballet in the show. There's like it's

703
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: it's a theatrical performance. If people talk during your show

704
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: to people go yes, I mean not if people are

705
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: talking a little bit, but if people are like talking loud, yeah,

706
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: the or like if some fans get really upset because

707
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: they want to stand up in like dance and people

708
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: are like sit down, sit down, you know, so I

709
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: and I feel bad. But it's like a lot of

710
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: the fans are there too, Like they're not there to party.

711
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: Some of them they're there to sit and watch. It's

712
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: like a rock and roll dance via listen. I haven't

713
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: been That's why I'm asking these questions. I've never seen

714
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: your show before, but I feel like, I mean, there's

715
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: so much energy. Oh, it's it's an energetic show. I mean, um,

716
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: the girl, my my dancers, and I like we are

717
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: probably drenched in sweat by the second song, like we are.

718
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: There's full choreography, the band, it's loud, it's very loud.

719
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: It's a rock show. But um, it's also like I

720
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: like to think of it, I love theatricality. I love costumes,

721
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: So there's all these costume changes. There's, like I said,

722
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: there's everything from lyrical dance numbers to like elements of

723
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: pop to ballet like point ballet, and so it's very diverse.

724
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: It's always moving their storytelling that happens in it through

725
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: the dancing and you know, and then through the visuals

726
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: on the screens. I try to create these different worlds

727
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: and it's very much a like I put a lot

728
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: of energy into not only the creation of the show,

729
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: but every single night on that stage, like we come

730
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: off exhausted. Okay, so you build YouTube, you put a

731
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: YouTube video up, it's on my screen in front of you.

732
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: It all kind of stems from that video, like not

733
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: all the work, but this the idea, this incarnation of

734
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: Lindsay Sterling the performer. When could you pay your bills

735
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: from getting YouTube streams? Um? I probably, Well, so this

736
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: video was I think two thousand seven is when I

737
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: put it up. And then honestly I took a huge

738
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: like I just didn't know what YouTube was and what

739
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: it could do. So it went viral, but I had

740
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: no idea what that actually meant. By the way, ever,

741
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: I never got on Ellen. Would be a thing for you,

742
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: like to go on Ellen. That'd be a huge thing

743
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: for me. It would be like the full one. It

744
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: would be one of the full circal moments, and I

745
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: love a good full stortle moment. But now I haven't

746
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: been on Ellen yet, which is funny because it's kind

747
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: of something that spurred the entire thing. So it's like someday,

748
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: so I'll get tell um, you post on YouTube videos. Yeah,

749
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: so I take a break and then um, I met

750
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: this cinematographer guy Devin Graham, who basically was like, you

751
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: would do really well on YouTube, and he taught a

752
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: YouTube like seminar, like a one night thing at b

753
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: y U where a bunch of filmmakers came and I

754
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: I had been kind of discouraged at this point because

755
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: I've been trying. I've been playing open mic nights and

756
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: doing these like things called NAKA showcases, which are for

757
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: like college shows, and flying around the country doing these

758
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: very thankless gigs, playing in college cafeterias. And I was like,

759
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: I just don't know how much longer I can do

760
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: this because nothing was changing. It was just everything was

761
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: the same. And then I went to this YouTube seminar

762
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: where for two hours I sat there and learned, like

763
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: he broke it down for you how you become a

764
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: good YouTube channel and how you became a YouTuber and

765
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: build fan bases. And I was, you know, when something

766
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: just feels so right. It felt so right, and I knew.

767
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: I even called my mom right after I left him,

768
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: like I figured it out. I'm going to be a

769
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: youtubert right, Yeah, she's gonna okay, that's really She was

770
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: excited because I was excited. My mom is so supportive. Um,

771
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, but I, I like took notes feverishly and

772
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: I just I just knew. And I feel like you

773
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: got to trust that inner gut, like it'll tell you

774
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: sometimes when it's time to throw in the towel and

775
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: switch directions slightly, or when it's time too that's not

776
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: a good avenue. But this time I knew that this

777
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: was going to work, and so I tirelessly. I'm still

778
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: going to school at this point, and I'm just tirelessly

779
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: making all these YouTube videos and thank Heaven's I what

780
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: did I do with my first two years? Of college.

781
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: I went to film school, so I had all the

782
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: know how of how to you know, well, I also

783
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: had all these friends that could help me film the videos.

784
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: I knew how to edit, I knew how to produce,

785
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: I knew how to like do all of that, and

786
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: so I could make these really beautiful videos for nothing,

787
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: for free. And you know, at the time, I had

788
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 1: no money. And then it was probably about six months

789
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: after doing YouTube. It happened pretty fast that I was like, Okay,

790
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: I can quit my job and I can do this

791
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: full time. So if you're dependent on uploading content, what

792
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: kind of rules do you set with yourself? Like I

793
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: must have something up every week, I must have to

794
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: think of every two weeks because you gotta pay your mortgage,

795
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: you gotta pay your rent, you gotta pay your car payment.

796
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: Like the practical side of it, how much were you

797
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: creating and uploading so you could actually just survive? Um?

798
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 1: You know, I thankfully I had saved up some money,

799
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: so I wasn't like paycheck to paycheck anymore. At this

800
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: point I kept my job until I had a little cushion. Um.

801
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: And I've never I'm very unique in the YouTuber sense

802
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: because most YouTubers upload like every week. You know, they

803
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: have to in order to keep the content role and

804
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: keep their fans interested. Thankfully, you know, what you set

805
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: as a precedent on YouTube is what your fans expect.

806
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: I guess not even on YouTube in general as an

807
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: artist or as a personality, Like, whatever you set, people

808
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: are going to expect that from you. And thankfully I

809
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: always have done like kind of sparse videos. I used

810
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: to do one a month. Now, honestly, the last three years,

811
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 1: I've probably done, you know, maybe ten a year, which

812
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: is a lot for a musician that tours as much

813
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: as I do and writes original music and I produce

814
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: and I concept and direct all my own music videos,

815
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: so that's and edit them still, so that's a lot,

816
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: but for a YouTuber that's so little. Um But also

817
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: I always had a much bigger picture in my mind.

818
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: I never saw YouTube as the bread and butter for me.

819
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: It was wow when I put up my first YouTube video,

820
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: once I understood what YouTube was. By this time, I

821
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: had like three songs online that were original, that were mine,

822
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: that were my sound that I loved, and they hadn't sold.

823
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: They've been up there for months and no one had

824
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: bought them except for like my mom and you know,

825
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: my sisters, and that's about it. And so suddenly when

826
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: I put up this YouTube video, the first one after

827
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: the you know beloved black and White Black Eyed Peas video, um,

828
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: I saw the spike in the sales, and I like,

829
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: I get it. This is not about YouTube. YouTube is

830
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: like the you know, the ground, my playground, so that

831
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: people can go wherever I need them to go. That's

832
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: and I knew that's I wanted to get on tour.

833
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: That's kind of was the end goal for me, is

834
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: I want a tour, And so that was always what

835
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: I saw as how I sell tickets, how I sell

836
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: my music, how I sell everything is all based on

837
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: this YouTube channel. But outside of it is where I

838
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: make the cash to keep me afloat, because like I said,

839
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: I only make you know, eight to ten videos a year.

840
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: So when you get a check from YouTube, does it

841
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: come from YouTube? Say YouTube? I want to say on

842
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: the corner of the check, it's Google. I get a

843
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: Google check. Yeah, it's so it's from like Google Inc. Yeah, Google,

844
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: because it's Google that pay, like gets all those ads

845
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: and put them on your channel. And do they ads

846
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: have to be cleared by you like a certain kind

847
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: of ad. Um. I'm allowed to say what I don't

848
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: want on my channel, and every once while new one

849
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: pops up there like oh I don't want that, like

850
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: add that to the list. But you know, you're you're

851
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: basically allowed to say. You're not allowed to say what

852
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: kind of content is in the ad. But like from example,

853
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't have alcohol ads on my channel or like

854
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: I think I asked for no Victoria's Secret ads like, um,

855
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: like farmers only dot com, Oh that's my favorite. Let

856
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: farmers absolutely. I mean I grew up on a farm.

857
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: You know, those are my people. I might meet someone

858
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: that's yeah, it was Okay, did you get on the

859
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: dating apps? Have you been on the dating apps? I

860
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: have been on the dating apps? Yeah? Yeah, I mean

861
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm not like, I'm not super proud of it. But

862
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: why of it? That's the way people meet now, I know,

863
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: but they're so strange. They's so strange people. You can

864
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: meet anyone that's strange. Yeah, you can meet strange people anywhere.

865
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: But I just feel like the dating app culture. Okay,

866
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: here's what I don't like about the dating is it's

867
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: created the most flaky dating or culture in general, but

868
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: in dating specifically, like you know, people like barely talk

869
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: on them, like you message someone, and half the time

870
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: they don't even message back because there's endless option of

871
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: people that they swiped through. And so like someone you'll

872
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: be talking to an all of a sudden they disappear

873
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, they probably found someone hotter. Okay,

874
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: how would someone meet you, because they're probably listening. How

875
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: how would i um? I like to go and hikes.

876
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: I'll either be playing the violin amongst some trees or

877
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: I'll be hiking. I was watching this video where you're

878
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: in Alaska on a glacier. Yeah, that's my newest one.

879
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: How do you First of all, what's the name of

880
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: the video? It's called I Wonder As I Wander. I

881
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: wonder as I wanted some whimsical right now, how did

882
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: you get on a glacier? So this was actually a

883
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: crazy story. I in the middle of our tour, we

884
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: were able to book a show in Alaska, So we

885
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: had a show, flew on a plane to Alaska, and

886
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: we basically had thirty hours on the ground before we

887
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: had to get back to our next show, which was

888
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,959
Speaker 1: in l A. So it's tiny little window of time.

889
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: But I was like, I'm flying all the way to Alaska, like,

890
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: and I knew I had to film this Christmas video,

891
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: so I was like, I have to film on a glacier.

892
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: So basically I got off the stage from this um

893
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,959
Speaker 1: we played the Alaska State Fair, and I jumped straight

894
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: out the stage into a van. I did my makeup

895
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: in the van, jumped onto a helicopter. You know, I

896
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: changed in the bathroom of the helicopter pad into this

897
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: like huge head dress and whimsical outfit, and then flew

898
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: on a helicopter and they dropped me off a glacier

899
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: with my camera guy. That's crazy, And like, I mean,

900
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm wearing snowshoes like chains on my feet to hike

901
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: from location to location as we're filming this, because we

902
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: had several spots we wanted to film on, and like

903
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: we were jumping over little glacial streams, climbing up glacial hills,

904
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: like me doing this all in this head dress and

905
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: this very very flimsy dress was freezing. Now I wonder,

906
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: as I wonder, It's on the deluxe edition of Lendy's

907
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: Christmas album Warmer in the Winter, So what's up with

908
00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: the deluxe? So you put more songs? I did? I

909
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: think five new tracks on this album. That's what makes

910
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: it deluxe. That's so this is one of the new songs,

911
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 1: This is I, which turned into I think my favorite

912
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: song on the album. Actually, now you're wearing an outfit,

913
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: it's like why it's like you're you look like a

914
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: Native American American. It's about to get married and on

915
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: a glacier. It's crazy. It's kind of it's a who

916
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: is this your idea? This outfit? I actually styled this

917
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: video myself. I sewed some of it and I bought

918
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: the rest of it off of Etsy, like a piece

919
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: it together, you know, about a body suit here, so

920
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: to skirt, bought a head dress here. So you do

921
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: it all, huh. I love doing it all, Like the

922
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: whole process is why I love that I get to

923
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: make these like small productions, you know, because I can

924
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: do it all. Are you so busy all the time? Yeah,

925
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty busy, But I like it that way because

926
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing things that I like. I don't have to

927
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 1: style my own videos myself, but sometimes I just enjoy

928
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: it and I think it's important to do the things,

929
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: not only that are going to be successful, but do

930
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: them in a way that I started, Like why did

931
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: I start doing this? Because I loved costume design, I

932
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: love making videos, I loved editing them. So people are

933
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: always telling me like, Okay, someone else to do all

934
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 1: that stuff, and sometimes I do. Sometimes I'm like, well

935
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: this one I want to do? This? Is you singing

936
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: this too? Right? Yes? Do you sing? Not a lot?

937
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: I sing this? But are you a good singer? I

938
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: would never call myself a good singer. I'm I'm a

939
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: like mediocre singer on what scale? Though? Because I thought

940
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: the black Appy video is pretty good? Hat on that

941
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty good. So you're probably with

942
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: real sing like great singers, and you're comparing yourself to

943
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: like the Yeah, I mean like, could I pull off

944
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: a full show of singing? Absolutely not? Like, well, I

945
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: think the like my range is very limited, and like

946
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: I can sing like this song was in my range

947
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: and it was suitable for my voice, but like, I

948
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: really don't think I could entertain the crowd singing for

949
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: an hour? Do you ever get up and talk in

950
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: your shows? All the time? My guys make fun of me.

951
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: They're like, like, tonight you were talking for nine minutes

952
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: and like in one break, and I was like, and

953
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: I was like, I was not, Um, I think it depends.

954
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I was like, it's important for me. And

955
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't always talk for nine minutes. Usually it's five,

956
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, per break, not always, but um, it's important

957
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: to me that if I'm on a stage and thousands

958
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: of people are in the audience, might as well say

959
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: something that I actually believe in and care about. Um,

960
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, for example, like we were actually on a

961
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: co headline tour with Evanescence this summer, and now let

962
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: me just say I I am still a massive Evanescence fan,

963
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: but also like growing up, like I had her Amy

964
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: Lee's poster on my wall, I was a huge fan

965
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: and like she and then the way that she approaches

966
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: music has affected the way I approach writing music like

967
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: high contrast, and so I love her. And when we

968
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: had this opportunity tour together, was this is the coolest

969
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: thing ever. And so here I am on stage in

970
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: front of you know, sometimes ten fifteen thousand people at night,

971
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: and I would go up to the mic and I

972
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: would say, you know, it's pretty cool that we're on

973
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: tour Evanescence. You know, I've I've been a casual fan

974
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: for years, and you could kind of see the look

975
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: of like her fans being like, um, that was rude.

976
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: And then immediately this music video of me starts playing

977
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: when I was as me as a fifteen year old

978
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: like rocking out to Evanescence and like with my two

979
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: best friends, you can tell we think we are so cool.

980
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: It was my really early editing days and um, actually

981
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: the first music video ever made. And so you know

982
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: then I would as soon as that went away, I

983
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: would say, well, I guess obviously I am not a

984
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: casual fan. I'm a huge fan. And that created a

985
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: moment for me to be like, no one would have

986
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: ever looked at that girl, that awkward girl in that

987
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: screen and thought that she would amount to anything, but

988
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: guess what. That girl had really big dreams and that

989
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: girl was willing to work really really hard. And I

990
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: fell down many times when I got back up and

991
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: I and this was the moment right after I had

992
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: just played a song with Amy Lee and then to

993
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 1: be able to be like then, all of a sudden,

994
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: that momentment so much more and for me, like the

995
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: talking moments like are to make people one relate to

996
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: me and realize because also when I perform, it's very

997
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: like kind of like that music video we just watches,

998
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: very epic and very like you know, ah, and I'm

999
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: kind of goober like in real life, so it's like

1000
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: I'm this whimsical, magical creature. And then I go to

1001
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: the mic and they're they're all very aware that I'm

1002
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: just a normal awkward girl. Are you awkward? Oh yeah,

1003
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm so, I'm super I mean, yeah, definitely. How so

1004
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean together to me? I mean, I guess I'm

1005
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: put together, but that doesn't mean I'm not awkward still,

1006
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, like I I guess I'm just goofy, Like

1007
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm just a goober, and you know, I'll do a

1008
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: lot of swinging MSS like, I'll really go for it and

1009
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: and try to be funny sometimes and it's not funny, um,

1010
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: but uh. And then also sometimes just being myself and

1011
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: being a little bit goofy and kind of playing into

1012
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: the awkwardness makes people laugh. Like people like that, and

1013
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, they always say it's the best when you're

1014
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: just yourself. And I stopped. I used to get so

1015
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: nervous those moments going up to the mic. That was

1016
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: the part that I like fear the most of the

1017
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: entire shows. I have to talk to him. What do

1018
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: I say? Um? Because I felt like I had to

1019
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: be so put together, and the more I've just been like, yeah,

1020
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: I just need to own what I am. And uh,

1021
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: it's made it like now, I love that moment. It

1022
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: feels like I get to connect with the audience in

1023
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: a totally different way, especially because I don't get to

1024
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: use my voice at all through the show, and people

1025
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: connect through the voice, and you know, I'm playing a violin,

1026
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: and so when I get to finally like use my

1027
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: voice and talk to them, I think it fills a

1028
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: gap that could be very apparent in the show. Yeah,

1029
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: that's wilder. You're not You're not wearing a mic at all,

1030
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: no headset, mike And where is your Where is a mic?

1031
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 1: It's up in the top corner of the stage stage right,

1032
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: if you will. And what one time I got stuck

1033
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: on something like in the middle of the stage in

1034
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the show. I was like super high

1035
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: off the ground and I was stuck and it was

1036
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 1: just a funny moment because everyone's looking around like what

1037
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: do we do, Like she has no mic, Like I

1038
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: couldn't explain to the audience like having technically, I couldn't

1039
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: even be like goofy or awkward about it or joking

1040
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: to make it fun. I had nothing. I'm like up

1041
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: there in silence, and luckily my keyboard players hilarious and

1042
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: so like, you know, he would really it turned into

1043
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: a really funny moment, but it was just a man.

1044
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: It would be really nice if I had a mic

1045
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: right now, but it's like thirty ft away. That's crazy

1046
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: to think you're performing on a stage and people can't.

1047
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: You can't just flick something on. You don't wear like

1048
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: a no secondary headset, mike nothing. Oh I don't know.

1049
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got so many packs on. I've got

1050
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: the violin or I've got the inner monitor pack already

1051
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: that you gotta hide in the spandex costume. How do

1052
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: you hide a micro or a in your monitor pack

1053
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: in a Spandex costume? I don't know. But the last

1054
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: thing I want is the second one. So, so yeah,

1055
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: who's your favorite artist? Cannot Pink is one of my

1056
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: favorite artists. And I'm saying that, like all one you

1057
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: get one, I'm only gonna be one artist. There you go,

1058
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: it's Pink and it's music, it's performance, Like who why

1059
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: is it Pink? It's because it's mostly because I feel

1060
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: like she is throughout everything she does. I love what

1061
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: she stands for. I love the way she presents herself

1062
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: to the world. Um. And you see that you hear

1063
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: in her music, you also see it in her life show.

1064
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: Her live show is the best life show I've ever

1065
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: been to. And like, you know, when I leave and

1066
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: experience either listening to Pink talk or seeing her on

1067
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: stage or hearing her music, it's like, yes, you just

1068
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: feel good about owning who you are. Young girls look

1069
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: at you. What do you want them to see? You know?

1070
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: I want them to see someone who who has worked

1071
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: really hard to love herself, because that's something that didn't

1072
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: come natural naturally to me. Um when I you know,

1073
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: I went through some anorexia and call and severe depression

1074
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: and I finally woke up to the fact that I

1075
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: deserved better and that I had a problem. And I

1076
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of people look at me the same

1077
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: way with like dancing at the stars. They just see

1078
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: me as this like happy pixie violinists that like, oh

1079
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: she looks you know, ever, her world looks so perfect,

1080
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: But it takes work to love. I think it takes

1081
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: work sometimes to love yourself and to be okay in

1082
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 1: your own skin. And it's something that I put a

1083
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: ton of work into for years to go from hating myself,

1084
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: like I'm talking, hating myself and thinking I was hideously ugly.

1085
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: And it's not that the girl in the mirror changed

1086
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: at all, like physically, like, nothing changed to make me

1087
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: love myself and feel beautiful. It was a it was

1088
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 1: a choice, and it was effort, and it was learning

1089
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: the tools and the skills. And so I hope that

1090
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 1: when young girls look at me, no matter where they're

1091
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: at and their emotional awareness or how they feel about themselves,

1092
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: they realize, well, Lindsey learned to love herself and works

1093
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: hard still to love herself, and it must be possible

1094
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: for me to do this same thing. Do you get

1095
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,959
Speaker 1: a lot of feedback from young girls let's see you

1096
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: and hear your message? Did you do you read those

1097
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: messages at all? Yeah? I do. I mean I get

1098
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: I get letters at shows and you know, or get

1099
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: sent letters um or comments online. And I think that

1100
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: is the thing that makes me the most like proud

1101
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: of not proud, that's the wrong word, but just this

1102
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: was one of the most gratifying things I think is

1103
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: for me as an artist, because it's something that I

1104
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: struggled with and to see that maybe in a way

1105
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm helping, you know, not only young girls. This is

1106
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: something that the boys struggle with too, and that maybe

1107
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm helping someone realize that it's worth the fight, it's

1108
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: worth the effort, and that there's hope. Because when I

1109
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: was struggling, that was the hardest thing was you know.

1110
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: You hear sometimes that mental diseases are like kind of incurable,

1111
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: especially on a rexya. They say it's incurable, and I

1112
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of now I see what they're saying, but it's

1113
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: like it's it's not a thing anymore for me. I've

1114
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: I've learned to cope with it so well that as

1115
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 1: long as I stay on top of it, it's not

1116
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't, it doesn't It's not a factor in my life.

1117
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: Your tour rider is something that you walk into a

1118
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: room at a venue and they have all these things

1119
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: that you've requested. Things, what's on the Lindsay Sterling tour rider.

1120
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: You know, mine's so boring, it's very minimalistic because I

1121
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: got really annoyed at how much stuff goes to waste,

1122
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,439
Speaker 1: and so I have a very minimal, very small writer.

1123
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: But some of the more interesting things on there. I've

1124
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: recently fallen in love with chocolate coconut milk. It's so

1125
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: good chocolate chocolate, so not real milk, like like squeeze

1126
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,720
Speaker 1: coconut water. It's like coconut water. But they have coconut

1127
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: milk and you can get a chocolate version and it's

1128
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: got whaleless sugar in it and whaleless calories. So it's

1129
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: it's like kind of guilt free and I can drink

1130
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: a tone of it minimal guilt. It's like, yeah, it's

1131
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: like little guilt instead of like oh I shouldn't have

1132
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: had that, It's like, oh, maybe you shouldn't have had that.

1133
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: So you have chocolate coconut milk, cocon milk. We also

1134
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: have We occasionally put NERF gun bullets on there because

1135
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: we like to have NERF gun wars. Do you take

1136
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: your own guns? Though, yes we do, we have our

1137
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: own guns. Do you take you have your own guns?

1138
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: We request the bullets. You know, we keep having to

1139
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: rebuy the guns because they keep getting broken. They're not

1140
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 1: made to last, so usually we just buy new butt

1141
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: guns every tour. Um. Yeah, we request the bullets because

1142
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: you can't reuse those things. Once you shot him a

1143
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: couple of times, they they're kind of done. I didn't

1144
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: know that. I'm not fluent in NERF bullets. See that's

1145
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: why I'm telling you. I didn't notice until I became

1146
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: a new NERF gun connoisseur um, and then you know.

1147
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: And then our writer has the other things like Thomas

1148
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: and veggies and um apples and one of the funny

1149
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: things whenever you came to Dancing with the Stars for

1150
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: the week that we were there, is that grosser store

1151
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: Joe is on the show, who's a super nice guy. Yeah,

1152
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: And you were like, oh, I know him from the show.

1153
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: So you guys watched The Bachelor and Bachelor Paradise. Yes,

1154
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: we actually watched it on tour religiously, Like me and

1155
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: the girls on tour would look forward to it and

1156
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: we'd we'd record it and after the show on like

1157
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: Monday night, we'd go watch it on the bus and

1158
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: you would see grocery store Joe and go, I like

1159
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: that guy from the show, or no, oh, we love

1160
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: grocery store Joe. What was his thing because I haven't

1161
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: I know on the Batch when he went home early.

1162
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: No Bachelorette, right, yeah, the Bachelorette. He didn't make it

1163
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: through the first episode. So what was it on batchlor

1164
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: in Paradise that made people go, I really like that

1165
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 1: guy because he's super likable and I like him Listen,

1166
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: I like him as a person, but I didn't see

1167
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: him on the TV show. He's very he comes across

1168
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: as so sweet and just so real, and he's kind

1169
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: of awkward, but like in a very endearing way. And

1170
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: so I think that's why America film love with him,

1171
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: because he was just like he was. He was kind

1172
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: of awkward and you could tell he was really uncomfortable,

1173
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: but he was just so kind and genuine. I think

1174
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: that's how he is in real life, and that's how

1175
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: he is in real life. Yeah. After now I can

1176
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: say that I know Grocery store Joe. I heard that Jenna,

1177
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: his dance partner, was like, oh my goodness, I'm getting

1178
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,280
Speaker 1: groceries toward Joe, like before they danced. She was actually

1179
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: jenn Is a friend of mine, I mean obviously from

1180
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: the show. Um, and she was telling me that she

1181
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: was like, I was genuinely so excited, and then he

1182
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: liked me, cannot dance. We're the lowest as you hear this,

1183
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: we're the lowest two scorers on that show. But go ahead.

1184
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: People love you so that you know, that's the most

1185
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: important thing, is it? Though, like it's got to be

1186
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: a mix. Well, it's definitely a mix, but like those

1187
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: I gotta get a little better though. Right, Well, you're

1188
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: working hard, so that wasn't the question. That wasn't the question.

1250
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I did read your book and see you did your

1251
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: homework and it's called only Pirate at the Party. Yeah,

1252
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: and it's and it's so funny. Let me see if

1253
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: I can tell the story paraphrased. You're get invited to

1254
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: a party right when I first moved to l A. Right,

1255
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: So it's really you're like part in the USA, Miley Cyrus. Right.

1256
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: It's like hopped in the cabin l A. I don't

1257
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: even know what's going on. You're trying to be cool.

1258
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: And it was um a themed party for hold on

1259
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: not parts of the Caribbean. Hold On wait, oh, Peter Pan,

1260
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: that's what it was Peter Pan. Thank you, there's Peter Pan,

1261
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: And so you assume everybody's gonna be dressed. There's a

1262
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Peter Pan party, now costume and you show up as

1263
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: a full dressed pirate and nobody was dressed. Like I'm talking.

1264
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: I had just done a music video as a pirate,

1265
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: so I had a like legit Captain Hook costume. Amazing,

1266
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: And you have to make the decision do I go

1267
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: into the party fully dressed? Because I believe it said

1268
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: in your book maybe one person had a Peter Pan

1269
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: T shirt. I can tinker about T shirt. That was it? Yeah,

1270
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Because I opened the door and like, no one is

1271
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: dressed up, but no one had seen me yet, And

1272
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I have I could get in

1273
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: my car and I could go home. No no, a

1274
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: foult like no one saw me. And I was like,

1275
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: or I can go into the party and just like

1276
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: really on this and I've decided to go into the party.

1277
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: And then how do people react? Oh? People got the

1278
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: biggest kick out of it, Like people were like, oh

1279
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: my gosh, like what's your name? Like, oh my god,

1280
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: this grow up. But as as a pier, oh my gosh.

1281
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: I ended up making so many friends. I was the

1282
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: conversation starter of the night, not purposefully, you know, And

1283
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: I feel like that was such a perfect metaphor for

1284
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: my wife. It's not like I go through life trying

1285
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: to be like, how could I be super different? But

1286
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I just by like the standards I live by, by

1287
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: the kind of art I create. That's a metaphor for

1288
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: my life. I'm just a little different. I'm a little

1289
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: left of center. And I could neither be ashamed of

1290
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: it and go home, or I can be like, you

1291
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going into the party dressed as a pirate.

1292
01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: And the lesson is what go into the pirate dressed

1293
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: the party? Be yourself, like, don't be ashamed of who

1294
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: you are. Um. People told me when I first was

1295
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: starting that I would never succeed because I was too different.

1296
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: Over and over again. You're just too different. We don't

1297
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: know what box to put you in, you know, from

1298
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: record labels and whatnot. Now, when people say they love

1299
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: my art or they come to my shows and they

1300
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: fly across the country to come, the reason they're they're

1301
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: so different. It's refreshing. It's so different. And I think

1302
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: that the very reason I was told I was never

1303
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: succeed is the very reason I have look at that,

1304
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: and we should end on that. Letty Starling, you've been

1305
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: a real treat to talk to and she's doing it.
