You just have to mentally decide you want 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.360 to do it.

Really yeah, I have a terrible 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.400 when it comes to like lyrics, and like my own 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.800 lyrics are like um, like songs I'm creating. I rarely 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.199 write anything down. My publishers hate me. You remember the 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.720 whole song. I remember a lot of things, even if 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:27.199 you're writing a lot of songs. That's crazy. Okay, So 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.040 I want to get into your life. Your name is 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:34.920 Jacob how good? How do you say it? Hey? Good? 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:40.160 Hey good? Hey, I'm good good. That's your real name. 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.720 You're born in Arkansas into a Christian household. So I 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.600 want to talk to you about that because you're openly gay. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.040 Was that um an issue with your family growing up? 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.400 I mean growing up. I didn't come out of the 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.040 closet until I was twenty years old now, so you 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.120 just recently came out four years ago, almost five years ago. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.640 Did you always is no, you're gay? Yeah? I mean 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.160 I don't. I don't know if I have I ever 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.520 always had a name for it. I think I always knew. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.600 I was, like, you know, in like third grade to 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.960 be like all the boys were friends and I was around, 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.120 and it'd be like one of these things isn't like 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.160 the other. You know, That's just kind of how it felt. 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.440 But the more and more I started being able to 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.120 identify it and knowing what it was, I definitely it 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:27.319 was definitely like, Okay, did you ever day girls? Um, 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.680 like guess and no kind of did just maybe trying it. 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.400 But I was really good at like playing like the 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:38.160 Christian boy next door, like I can't even kiss me, 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.440 yeah exactly, that's for that's for the Lord. Oh but 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.040 really that wasn't. Yeah, I was just like I had 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.760 a lot like going on in my head about like 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.679 what did the families say when you said him coming out? 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.400 I mean, it was a difficult transition. But my family, 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.240 I mean, I mean my parents have always been my 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.320 support and my rock and have always supported me in 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.920 every end ever I've ever gone into. And um, when 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.080 I came out of the closet, it didn't I mean, 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:05.800 it was like I think it was hard for them 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:10.720 to hear, but it was more of like, um, looking 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.760 back at it now, it's kind of like being able 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.480 to see like how close to me and my family 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.280 are now, And like I think It's something that brought 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.680 us all closer because it opened up a whole door 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.000 of like conversations that just were never had. When you 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.920 grow up in like a Christian household, so many things 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.520 are so taboo, and so many things they're like not 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.440 you know, allowed to talk about them. And now it's 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.800 kind of like, you know that an elephant in the 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:35.160 room was discussed in such a large scale. And not 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.760 only that, now I stand on a higher pedestal where 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.640 it's not only people in my family, people anyone who 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.480 knows me because I'm gay and like my you know, 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.760 people in Arkansas know my family, have me and their family, 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.600 and I think for my I think for my parents, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.560 and I don't know about my sisters, but I think 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.560 I was one of the first, like openly gay people 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.200 that they had a relationship with them. And I think 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.440 they've met gay people before, but it wasn't like they 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.720 had like a relationship with people. And that's an interesting 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.160 thing because in Nashville and l A and all the 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.920 like the big cities that you know, we live in, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.120 it's not a big like no one even it's not 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.120 even a thing, you know, no one even cares. But 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.560 in smaller towns. You forget that it still is this. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.160 So I grew up in Arkansas and there definitely was 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.280 a divide. And like it's funny because even in the 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.040 short time of me coming out and or dropped. I 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.600 drapped out of high school because I was bullied so 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.400 badly and for being flamboyant and for being different. And yeah, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.480 and I moved to Nashville right away. My parents supported 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.360 that and we're you know, one on board, had no 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.880 qualms and did what they had to do to help 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.440 me get out of that. And um, moved to Nashville. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.480 My parents drove me here. Oh seventeen, didn't know anyone, 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.240 and they drove me here. And yeah, I come I 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.720 come from really good people. And I think when I 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.800 came out of the closet that just um, I think 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.080 when like trying times, I think that's when you really 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:02.240 see people's character. I really learned what good people my 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:06.120 family were, or my family are, because it's like with 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.560 my dad and my mom, it's like they're Christians and 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.840 like they believe in, you know, the Christian faith and 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.200 God and all that stuff and didn't change their faith 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.160 at all. I don't know. I think it made it 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.680 stronger because I think I think a lot of the 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.000 legalistic stuff that gets caught up in religion and opinion 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.480 and the way people live their life and the way 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.280 people judge each other. I mean, the Bible specifically talks 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.640 about that, and it's like anti that. So it's like 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.560 everything that you know people don't like about Christianity kind 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.960 of comes from that a human form of trying to understand. 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.920 So I don't know, I don't really dive into all 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.760 that religious stuff anymore. That's definitely like in my past. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:51.360 But um, love and be loved. I just I just 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:52.760 want to love people. I want to be nice, I 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.320 want I want to be kind. I want to have 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.400 a good time. Like, why do we have to box 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.360 everyone into like putting rules and boxes on people. It 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.480 takes too much energy to be mean, it does, and 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.919 what's the point of it anyway, just because someone is 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.000 different than you. I have a hard time with that too. 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.560 But you know that being said, I do respect all 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.679 religions of faith, and if anyone's dogma, I I totally 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.560 am respectful. And um, you're just getting back. I look 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.080 up to my parents more now because I really feel 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.800 like they put their faith to the test when I 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.359 came out of the closet, and truly, I feel like 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.159 truly showed you know, what they say they believe. I 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.800 feel like they were walking the talk, you know, and 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.280 it was like you don't often see that. Yeah, And 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.639 so I just have a giant amount of respect for 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.520 my parents and a very deep love for them. And 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:40.480 I know it's I know it's a vice versa. I 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.199 talked to my dad and my mom every day on 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:46.399 the phone. Yeah, that's best. Good for you for just 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.639 going for it and put an authentic home for like 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.680 three months. I lived in Nashville when I came out, 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.720 and it was like it was hard. So I was 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.520 kind of like I didn't know if. I was like, 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.760 there's no real way to deal with this head on, 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.760 So I just moved home for your months and dealt 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:06.840 with it head on the way to do it. Yeah, 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.440 I think the longer you live with like suppressing yourself, 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.840 the more it comes outsideways. Oh for sure. Yeah, So 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.479 go you Okay, So I want to get to your 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.639 music video, which you'd cover a lot of topics in 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.399 and goodbye before I kind of start at the beginning. 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:23.240 I'm very like O C D. I don't want to 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:27.479 miss a step. So you got your stage name Fancy 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.880 because you worked at Forever twenty one, and that's when 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:31.800 you had come out and into your own and you 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.480 started wearing makeup and painting your nails and being fabulous. 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.800 And one was definitely like I love there Forever twenty one, 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.240 like a huge part of your story. Yeah, so it's definitely. 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:46.359 It was definitely the first like, um, a safe place 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.240 you can be whatever you want there. Well yeah, I 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.119 mean like it's, um, it's just an environment where like 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.680 fashions like the thing, and like, yeah, I like you're 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.960 able to, like yeah, you're able to just like express yourself. 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.159 And like it was the first time I worked I 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.000 was around like other openly gay men like my whole life, 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.720 and I mean obviously growing up in Arkansas, I wasn't 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:07.920 around that. And then I when I moved here, I 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.239 went to a Christian college, so like I wasn't around it. 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.119 And then this was the first place where I really 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.000 had like openly gay friends. And it was kind of 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.399 like I remember one of my managers was joking with 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.120 me because like the first like two or three weeks 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:20.639 I worked there, I kept doing like like you know 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.880 I'm gay, right, And I just kept saying it and 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.440 she feels so good. Yeah, because I just wanted everyone 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.440 to know. I would like, may people like, well, I'm gay, 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:32.520 and like everyone's just going like no, ship like yeah, 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.880 And this is kind of funny because my manager was like, hey, 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.639 you know, we really have to tell people that, and 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.199 I was like, I just feel like they need to know. 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.720 Like I was so passionate about just like because it 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.119 was the first place. Yeah, and then in turn, like 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:47.760 I was trying to do the whole music thing and 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.439 like my forever twenty one peeps that were there. I 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.719 mean the first year I worked there was just so amazing. 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.040 I worked in the cool Springs one and the whole 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.080 crew was just I mean we worked together, we partied together. 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.040 I mean it was just like a cool I'm sorry, yeah, 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.679 I mean it was just it makes look expensive, Yeah, 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:05.959 I like for every twenty one. It was just like 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.400 a really great place for me to really start discovering 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.160 who I am, because when you're like nineteen twenty and like, 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.879 that's just a crucial part of like finding yourself. And 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.639 there was so much going on for me as a 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.159 twenty year old just came out of the closet, Like 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.200 there was just so much going on in my head, 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.400 in my life and to have that outlet and those 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.360 people around me that were just kind of so carefree 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:30.199 and non judgmental and just fun and living life in 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.840 the big city of Nashville, because Nashville was a big 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.919 city to me. Yeah, when I moved from Arkansas, I 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:37.600 was like, I don't think I had driven on a 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:41.520 highway before I moved here, so crazy. Yeah, So it's 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.479 just a really cool like launching pad for me. And 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.840 as I was trying to do the whole music thing, um, 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.639 all the conversations around town always had to deal with 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.879 my sexuality well you know that kind of thing. And 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.560 it was just like I was trying to think, like 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.719 to myself, like how can I get around that, Like, 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.639 what is something I can do to like make it 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:05.640 a Nolan Wood like thing? So what was it? Well? 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.280 I started wearing makeup, doing my nails, and I kind 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.000 of like just by appearance, people would just automatically no, 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.399 and it wasn't a conversation to have and all this 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.520 stuff and that kind of didn't work. And then but 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.120 I liked who I was wearing my makeup and doing 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.600 my nails and having my hair every which color and um, 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.320 there was like, this is your natural color right now, 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.200 this is my natural color right now. It looks great. 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:32.480
