WEBVTT - Hey Jamie Miller 0:00:11.330 --> 0:00:12.809 We're on tour now, which is very exciting. 0:00:12.830 --> 0:00:12.950 It is. 0:00:12.950 --> 0:00:17.160 We're having a lot of amazing special opening acts. Correct. 0:00:17.380 --> 0:00:17.800 We are. 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:19.940 And just like some highlights from the show. I mean, 0:00:20.700 --> 0:00:23.259 we didn't do a sound check because we were running 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.960 a little behind. And we remembered everything. Oh, you mean 0:00:26.980 --> 0:00:28.580 for the first show? Yeah, for the show. We didn't 0:00:28.660 --> 0:00:28.960 forget anything. 0:00:28.980 --> 0:00:30.440 Well, no, we did a sound check at Madison Square 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.890 Garden for three nights. So that kind of counts. For 0:00:34.930 --> 0:00:38.390 those that don't know, so the soundboard that we have 0:00:39.010 --> 0:00:42.780 is digital, which means you put a little USB stick 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:43.059 in there. 0:00:43.100 --> 0:00:43.640 Thumb drive. 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.360 Pull it out, and when you get to the next city, 0:00:45.500 --> 0:00:46.520 all you have to do is put that in there, 0:00:46.620 --> 0:00:48.000 and the whole thing comes to life, and it works 0:00:48.060 --> 0:00:50.080 and sounds exactly like it did in the last city. Although, 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:52.940 what you can't predict is how the audience is going 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:54.410 to respond to different moments in the show. And there 0:00:54.450 --> 0:00:56.870 were some things that I think we've seen just from 0:00:56.910 --> 0:01:00.100 show to show that are different moments. Like, a highlight 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.380 for me, which kind of went a little viral, sort 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.600 of a virus, was when you did the backwards moment 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.060 down in the crowd. And the person that you sang 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.300 in front of didn't have their phone up in their face. 0:01:10.300 --> 0:01:12.360 Or in your face. Either did the people to their 0:01:12.380 --> 0:01:14.580 left or right, which I just really appreciated. I'm not 0:01:14.620 --> 0:01:16.360 saying don't use your phone. We're not the kind of 0:01:16.380 --> 0:01:19.420 bands like... No one use your phone for this next song. 0:01:19.580 --> 0:01:22.060 We're not that kind of band. Name an artist that 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:27.040 does that. Do it. But I would say we don't mind, whatever. 0:01:27.300 --> 0:01:29.100 We're living in that generation. But it is nice when 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.020 people are like in the moment because there's been a 0:01:31.060 --> 0:01:33.420 couple times where I'm like trying to find someone's face 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.800 to sing to with them and there's just an iPhone 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:37.380 light in my eye and it's a little distracting. 0:01:37.780 --> 0:01:38.120 I get it. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.140 It's an exciting moment for some. But I appreciate that 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.840 you're just locked in. Yes, totally. Hats off to her. 0:01:44.470 --> 0:01:46.510 My favorite thing so far is that people are starting 0:01:46.530 --> 0:01:49.930 to get really back into the drum toss. The drumstick toss. 0:01:50.150 --> 0:01:53.810 Are they? I'm going to be honest. I feel underappreciated. 0:01:54.150 --> 0:01:56.470 It's a very hard thing to do. It's so difficult. 0:01:56.490 --> 0:01:58.630 You need to light it on fire. Also, I would 0:01:58.650 --> 0:02:03.290 make it on fire or freeze one and then surprise Jack. 0:02:03.310 --> 0:02:06.309 You can wear a glove and he catches a frozen drumstick. 0:02:06.710 --> 0:02:09.370 Or throw a drumstick like an ice cream drumstick. You 0:02:09.389 --> 0:02:11.680 get it? All right, let's bring in our next guest. 0:02:11.690 --> 0:02:15.940 Ladies and gentlemen, our opener. Jamie Miller, everybody. 0:02:15.980 --> 0:02:16.419 Let's go. 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.820 Welcome to the Angels podcast. Before you walked in, we 0:02:21.380 --> 0:02:24.850 were singing your praises. Thanks, dude. Man, we are fans. 0:02:24.870 --> 0:02:26.710 We're so happy for you. Congrats on everything. 0:02:26.930 --> 0:02:27.470 Thank you. 0:02:28.030 --> 0:02:30.190 How's it feel for you? I mean, it's like you're 0:02:30.210 --> 0:02:31.609 being shot out of a rocket ship, huh? 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.680 Dude, it feels like I brought the song out eight 0:02:33.700 --> 0:02:36.100 weeks ago. I had no plan for it to be 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:36.399 a success. 0:02:36.419 --> 0:02:37.179 It's only been eight weeks? 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:38.079 Eight weeks, yeah. 0:02:38.100 --> 0:02:39.660 How long before were you teasing it? It's been played 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:40.839 every one of those weeks in my house. 0:02:41.860 --> 0:02:43.320 I was teasing it for about four weeks. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:43.740 Okay. 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.060 And then it just took on a life of its own. 0:02:46.710 --> 0:02:48.430 No one really cared about me like nine weeks ago. 0:02:48.470 --> 0:02:51.310 Now I'm booking like the most insane things in my life. 0:02:51.330 --> 0:02:53.410 So I'm just very grateful to be here. 0:02:53.650 --> 0:02:56.750 Let's go. What's been, that sounds like I'm trying to 0:02:56.810 --> 0:02:58.650 get fishing for an answer, but I promise I'm not. 0:02:59.450 --> 0:03:02.780 What's been, besides us, The most exciting call or you've 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.820 seen somebody use a song that you've been like, pinch 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:05.780 me moment, like, oh my God. 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.359 Yesterday, we just went top 10 in the UK. Oh, wow. 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:09.740 That's massive. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.840 Wow. So that's like, I'm from the UK, so that's 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.310 like a special moment. I'm from Wales and Cardiff. 0:03:15.530 --> 0:03:16.650 Okay, great. 0:03:17.190 --> 0:03:18.930 And then obviously this, coming on tour with you boys. 0:03:19.270 --> 0:03:20.090 Been such a fan. 0:03:20.190 --> 0:03:21.910 You were very close with your family. 0:03:22.250 --> 0:03:22.830 Very close, yeah. 0:03:22.850 --> 0:03:25.150 And so I think I've seen a couple of videos, 0:03:25.210 --> 0:03:28.510 every big announcement, every big bit of news, you're calling 0:03:28.530 --> 0:03:31.130 mom and dad, like, tell me, They must be ecstatic 0:03:31.150 --> 0:03:31.690 for you at home. 0:03:32.190 --> 0:03:34.990 Yeah, man. I think for the past, I'll be honest, 0:03:35.010 --> 0:03:36.450 for the past few years, it's been kind of a 0:03:36.890 --> 0:03:40.190 rough ride. I feel like, yeah, I think as artists, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.780 we go through like these ups and downs unless you're 0:03:42.820 --> 0:03:45.340 really successful. And even then, but I feel like it 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:46.540 was just like a really rough for me. I went 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.380 through some really personal, really dark personal stuff. So I 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.380 never really thought I'd come back to music. And then 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.140 this year, I like at the beginning of the year, 0:03:54.180 --> 0:03:57.400 I said, this is like my final try. And I 0:03:57.700 --> 0:03:59.920 went away in February and I wrote my dream album 0:03:59.940 --> 0:04:02.220 with two of my best friends. And Baby Doll was 0:04:02.260 --> 0:04:04.900 my first song back after two years. And kind of 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.340 just like mental how this. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.360 Is all happening. Was there something that sparked it for 0:04:09.380 --> 0:04:12.540 you again? If you don't mind us asking, obviously. That 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.320 you were like, you know what? I'm going to get 0:04:14.380 --> 0:04:15.790 back in the studio. I am going to do this. 0:04:16.350 --> 0:04:18.270 I think I just owed it to myself. I feel 0:04:18.290 --> 0:04:21.089 like I've had this dream since I was a kid. 0:04:21.130 --> 0:04:24.630 And all my best friends are like really... having their 0:04:24.670 --> 0:04:28.370 moments like Alex Warren and all these people and I 0:04:29.010 --> 0:04:30.670 was like if I want to at least give it 0:04:30.730 --> 0:04:32.410 one more try and then that way I can say 0:04:32.450 --> 0:04:35.330 I've tried and then it just baby doll happened and 0:04:35.990 --> 0:04:36.789 yeah was it. 0:04:36.770 --> 0:04:38.350 One of those when when you wrote it where you 0:04:38.370 --> 0:04:41.510 thought okay this this could be it um or did 0:04:41.529 --> 0:04:43.670 it come out of left field it. 0:04:43.010 --> 0:04:44.770 Kind of came out of left field if I'm honest 0:04:44.890 --> 0:04:47.580 I like built my career off sad music I feel 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.240 like this year. Isn't that the irony? Turns out, people 0:04:50.260 --> 0:04:52.740 like you happy. But then, I don't know. This year, 0:04:52.779 --> 0:04:55.779 I've just been in a happy place. It's good to hear. 0:04:56.020 --> 0:05:00.130 It's incredible. My family, I've played it no less than 0:05:00.170 --> 0:05:04.409 a billion times. It is a staple in our household. 0:05:04.790 --> 0:05:07.470 My wife, Danielle, is very disappointed she's not here to 0:05:07.589 --> 0:05:09.650 see you perform tonight. But there's more shows with you 0:05:09.710 --> 0:05:11.630 on this tour. So we're so thrilled to have you 0:05:11.670 --> 0:05:15.130 on this tour. For the listener out there. Jamie's going 0:05:15.150 --> 0:05:16.729 to be coming out with us for a couple of spots. 0:05:16.770 --> 0:05:21.030 We're really excited. And again, we've been fans and we're 0:05:21.050 --> 0:05:22.550 excited to see you do your thing. And we've been 0:05:22.570 --> 0:05:25.990 following you for a while. I mean, you placed third, 0:05:26.010 --> 0:05:28.910 is that correct? In the UK, yeah. 0:05:28.930 --> 0:05:31.590 The Voice. Yeah, I was like 19. And then after 0:05:31.610 --> 0:05:33.490 that kind of life just took a spin, like Khloe 0:05:33.510 --> 0:05:36.670 Kardashian found me randomly. I was in an iPad. I 0:05:36.710 --> 0:05:39.500 was in a call center fixing iPads. And then Khloe 0:05:39.510 --> 0:05:41.240 Kardashian found me and said that I was a new 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.460 favorite singer. And then I ended up getting an American 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.880 record deal. And then life kind of just changed back then. 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.479 But this is like the real moment where I'm like 0:05:48.940 --> 0:05:51.200 actually seeing like life fully change. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:52.020 So where do you live now? 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:53.240 I live in Los Angeles. 0:05:53.460 --> 0:05:54.380 Okay. So you made the move. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:55.260 Made the move. 0:05:55.300 --> 0:05:55.960 Quit the call center. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.640 Quit the call center. I was terrible at fixing iPads. 0:06:00.260 --> 0:06:01.360 What are the tricks? We need to know. 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.110 There really wasn't any, to be honest. If there was 0:06:04.140 --> 0:06:06.150 a prompter on the screen and the iPad was still 0:06:06.170 --> 0:06:07.770 broke by the end of it, like I would just 0:06:07.790 --> 0:06:12.770 hang up. so i ended up getting fired um yeah yeah. 0:06:12.589 --> 0:06:14.790 Just like buy a new one yeah but it's so 0:06:14.810 --> 0:06:17.290 interesting you said about singing sad music because i i 0:06:17.630 --> 0:06:20.270 first came to know you by way of something popping 0:06:20.310 --> 0:06:22.409 up in my my feed and i sent it to 0:06:22.430 --> 0:06:25.530 uh we have a group chat of friends who you 0:06:25.550 --> 0:06:27.050 know we call it the b flats which is basically 0:06:27.330 --> 0:06:29.130 i'm out in the group chat name but it's all 0:06:29.170 --> 0:06:31.750 like music centric stuff and like singer you know type 0:06:31.770 --> 0:06:33.560 stuff and a lot of musical theater and things like 0:06:33.570 --> 0:06:36.590 that but you're you're your video ended up on this 0:06:36.610 --> 0:06:38.210 group chat and everyone's like, Oh yeah, we're all. 0:06:38.150 --> 0:06:40.550 Over Jamie Miller.
