Speaker 1: kids were second choir and prior of the show. And

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,400

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: Then there was a rave. The dji a raver, but

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:17,760

Speaker 1: They had like because they had like I guess like, but.

43
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: You know, I wasn't.

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: I didn't even stay long enough to like actually experience

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: what the DJs were doing. To be quite honest, I

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: just like I was also exhausted because I was out

47
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: there for a while too, So I was just like

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: I just came to people scene.

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were just in Paris for a minute, just

50
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: relaxing because I.

51
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Don't get to spend much time out there, I feel like,

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: because I'm always working and I have things here to do,

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: like in the States, so I don't get to go

54
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: to Europe a lot, maybe like once a year maybe,

55
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: so especially since like COVID and all of that.

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: So it was really nice to be out there and.

57
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: Just experience all the restaurants and see some friends that

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: I haven't seen in a while.

59
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: And how many times have you been to Paris?

60
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: Three?

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: Three times? And what do you how do you feel?

62
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: Because I know as an R and B singer, you

63
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like going out there and and

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: and especially in that overseas market, like they're like there's

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: a different kind of love, oh yeah, and appreciation for

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: what we do over there. And I didn't go with

67
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: my younger.

68
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: Years, I think in Europe honestly, in a lot of places.

69
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: I just did like a couple back to back interviews

70
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: yesterday with some Asian markets and outlets out there, and

71
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: like I think because there's so many different genres of

72
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: music here like in the States, and artists like so

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: many more artists here. I don't know, maybe I'm like

74
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: speaking just pretymaturely.

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: But.

76
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: There's just such a different level of appreciation for music overseas.

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: I feel like here in the States.

78
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: We're just used to it, we expect it, we get

79
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: over it quickly, and I.

80
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: Mean we created it.

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, So like in in Europe, like in London, in Paris,

82
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: like when they get us, they're like, please don't leave

83
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: or like and they just like are more focused on

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but like even in

85
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: London too, like just when I'm when I have worked

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: in London with producers and songwriters out there, it's just

87
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: like a.

88
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: Different level of like focus that they have.

89
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we what's my guy? What was you talking about?

90
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: Was it Dave? Dave Russell? Wasn't Dave Russell from England engineer,

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: but just he's this guy? And then is Richard first

92
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: from London, Teresa's guy.

93
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's from London, but he's from UK,

94
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 4: from the UK for sure.

95
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: But like even just a different appreciate, different appreciation, different

96
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: approach to like how they sonically make.

97
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: Things fixed, I mean low key, they're kind of killing

98
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: it when it comes to like the music.

99
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: And then even there, even they don't fire.

100
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, I'm wondering when they're gonna let a

101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: black American play in English? Black Englishman.

102
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Gotta nil that? Is that going to happen? You gotta

103
00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: nail that accent?

104
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: As Americans, we are spoiled.

105
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, because here's the thing, right, so we don't as

106
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: as the spoiled speaks. Right as the spoiled speaks, we

107
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: don't necessarily take that big of an interest in other cultures,

108
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because we're we're in a

109
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: we're in a sense we've always, in a sense, been

110
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: at the forefront. We've been the leaders of it. You

111
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying in terms of culture and swag

112
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: and all of these things, and entertainment for that matter.

113
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Denzel could have been James Bond.

114
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Denzel is also Jesus. So you're

115
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: asking them wrong. I'm biased.

116
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: You know what wants? Maybe did he want?

117
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,440

Speaker 3: Like I think it's awesome when there's people that you know,

178
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: we either put on like such a high pedestal or

179
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: we like admire, like in their craft, and to have

180
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: that sort of like recognition as artists as well too.

181
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,440

00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: other way.

187
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,240

195
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: you know, of all classes. I think especially people who

196
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 4: have become very famous, they need normalcy.

197
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I mean.

198
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 4: And I think that it's watching people, watching people freak

199
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: out sometimes kind of like for them, it's like, damn,

200
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 4: like I just kind of wanted to be cool, you

206
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: kind of skewed. You know what I'm saying, because you

207
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: know this this guy was hanging out with Michael Jackson and.

208
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: No, but that's that's not what I was saying.

209
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like as like for me, for me,

210
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: like working with Timbaland or him like acknowledging that.

211
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: He sorry, just stop calling me.

212
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: Just him being like acknowledging me as an artist just

213
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: gave me that reassurance that like, because you know, as

214
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: as artists and just humans, we can like go through

215
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: periods of like doubt or like am I doing the

216
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: right thing, like, like especially me, like I've been doing

217
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: this for like a minute now, and like it's awesome

218
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 3: that I'm experiencing what for me is like my first

219
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: real moment where so many people are like discovering my

220
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: music because of a platform or I'm like TikTok.

221
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, it's been rediscovery for you.

222
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, rediscovery song came out almost ten years ago now,

223
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: and it's like people are listening to it like it's.

224
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,359
Speaker 2: A brand new song, which.

225
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: For me is just like wow, Like good music is timeless.

226
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if it came out in twenty fourteen

227
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: or or whatever. And so I'm just I already was

228
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: in that space before my song Collide started to gain

229
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: this recognition on TikTok, but it just gave me that

230
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: extra like pat on the back, and sometimes you need

231
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: that in life because I'm sure like people didn't even

232
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: like know that. But I was like going through a

233
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: space of like is this the right thing that I

234
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 3: should be doing? Like should I be doing music? Should

235
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: I like think about something else?

236
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: Like?

237
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: And I talked myself off that ledge and I was

238
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: like getting back into that space before this happened, but

239
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: it really just like reassured me this year started off

240
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: like so amazing, and I've just been like grateful for

241
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: like everything that's been happening.

242
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 4: So let's get into today. Let's get into Let's get

243
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 4: into the beginning, as Tank would like to say, where

244
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 4: it all started.

245
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: It all started, because I mean.

246
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 4: I know you from being a very small key because

247
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:12,760

252
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: because we won't want her darted. It's not your mom's

253
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 4: friend doing an episode. Okay, all right, but let's start.

254
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: Let's start from the beginning with you, like where this

255
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: all kicked off. How would you say, what's your intro

256
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: to it?

257
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: When was the first time someone said to you you

258
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: have something special? You said to yourself, I think I

259
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: have something special?

260
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 3: Always from like elementary school, Yeah, it was right in

261
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: here though. Matter of fact, No, I just knew that

262
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: I wanted to be an artist.

263
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: I knew that I wanted to whether it was.

264
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 3: Like I was lady into like musical theater like when

265
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: I was younger, because I was like, I want to

266
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: be an actress too, and I want to be a singer,

267
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: like I know I can sing. And I remember I

268
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: was graduating elementary school and they were giving out like

269
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: the singer the best singer of the year or of

270
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: the class.

271
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: And it.

272
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: Was just a public school, but they had like the

273
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: performance arts. Like I went to school in Brooklyn.

274
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: So and they gave it to this girl and she

275
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 3: didn't sing at all, like she didn't even really talk.

276
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: So I was so confused as to how she could

277
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: win Singer of the Year. And I was furious, and

278
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: it just like lit a fire undeath me.

279
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: I was like okay. I was like okay.

280
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 3: So then in middle school, I went to performing arts

281
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: school in Brooklyn and then I was like, I'm going

282
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: to be in the choir. And I went so hard

283
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: to try to be in the choir. They didn't let

284
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: me in. Didn't let me in the choir. I don't

285
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: know me in school, just don't have a good like

286
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: a history, just me and the public school system. So

287
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: then I was like, all right, well I forget you

288
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: then and then I went into theater and then every

289
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: time they only did musicals and I would just go

290
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: so hard, and like because my theater teacher knew that

291
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: I could sing, so he would always want to give

292
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: me the singing parts. And the choir teacher, who was

293
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: also involved in it, she just hated.

294
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: She hated on me for whatever reason.

295
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: And I was just like, well, man, now I'm the ladybug, so.

296
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: What do you do?

297
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: And it was just all.

298
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: And enjoy that ladybug.

299
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: She was.

300
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: It was like the Ladybugs were kind of like the

301
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: dream Girls and I was. And so that was like

302
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: a full I don't know, I don't know where these

303
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: schools got all this to put these plays on in Likelyn,

304
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: but that was a full production. And so then I

305
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: went to high school and I got into the choir,

306
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: but the teacher did.

307
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: Not like me. What were you?

308
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: I just wanted to sing? And so I'm just like

309
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: he would never give me a solo.

310
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: Were you're walking in like I'm here, Well why would

311
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: you not? Because okay, all right, because I was confidence, yes,

312
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 4: but you gotta understand, obviously you're an adult now, but

313
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: as a kid, you don't understand this is that most

314
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: people who are teachers are people who really wanted to

315
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: do it. Something happened and now they you know, they

316
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: still love it and they're teaching.

317
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: So when they when you walk in with all that confidence, lady,

318
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: but like, hey man, get her to.

319
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: My high school choir teacher was definitely like bitter. But

320
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: then we were learning a lot of music theory, like

321
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: things that I probably don't like incorporate into like my

322
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: life now, but I just wanted to. Like we were

323
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: singing opera, so I was like, I he was like,

324
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: you're going to be a tenor, and I'm like, what,

325
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: I can sing everything. I was like, well, I wanted

326
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: to be a soprano. And then he was like, no,

327
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: you're a tenor. You're there, and I'm just like that's crazy.

328
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, actually I can sing baritone too,

329
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: So like.

330
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: I was just.

331
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: It's starting to come out the more started.

332
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: I wasn't saying it.

333
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: Like that, I'm saying it now like that, but I

334
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: was just like, hey, like I can do more than

335
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: just this, like don't box me in.

336
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: He was like, you're gonna do what I tell.

337
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: You to do, and which is fair too, which is fair,

338
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Like you don't want to

339
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: be boxing.

340
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: I was trying to be like a teacher's pet because

341
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: I just wanted like he just didn't.

342
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: But also he was just like angry. He was angry man.

343
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: And so then the one time he gave me a solo,

344
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 3: he knew I was sick.

345
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: He knew I was sick.

346
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: And then I remember I was sitting in like the

347
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: court yard or whatever. We had a performance and I

348
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: cracked and I just cried and I ran away. My

349
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: voice cracked and I just cried and I ran away.

350
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: And then I was like another villain story wasn't invented.

351
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: I was like, oh wow, yeah, this will never happen

352
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: to me again. And so then I got a vocal

353
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: coach and my mom like, I was like, this is

354
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: what I want to do, regardless of all that work

355
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: that I did, like I went to like summer programs

356
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: or whatever, but then I started to I asked my mom.

357
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: I was like, I want to be a singer, and

358
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: she was like, you know, most parents in the in

359
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: the industry, they're just like no, They're like I'm not.

360
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: I don't want you to be a part of this.

361
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 3: It's like a brutal experience and they don't want their

362
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 3: kids to have to go through these things because they

363
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 3: see it firsthand. Yeah, And I was like, okay, whatever.

364
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: Now I'm on the internet. I'm on Tumblr. I'm developing

365
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 3: my own like you go find it yourself. Yeah, I'm

366
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: on my own. I create my own world, and this

367
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: whole community of like New York Tumblr kids, and we're

368
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: just like running around the city. Like now I can

369
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: hang out in the city, and.

370
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, how are you this time?

371
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: I'm like sixteen seventeen, and I'm no longer. Oh no,

372
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 3: I was still in school at the time, but I

373
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 3: was like I was in high school but like tenth grade.

374
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: And then I started to develop like a fan base

375
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: pretty much on Tumblr by just you know, just being

376
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: weird and quirky and experimenting with my look. And then

377
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 3: like I started to make covers on YouTube and just

378
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: singing and like showing that I could sing, and then

379
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: people started to like find out. And I think I

380
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: was at a BMI panel one time with my mom

381
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: and because she would always bring me to these events,

382
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: and they were doing a Q and A. It was

383
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: like Lorienne Gibson and like a bunch of other people.

384
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 3: I can't remember like who else was up there. I

385
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 3: just remember because how could.

386
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: You ever forget lorient.

387
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: But so remember yeah, Remember.

388
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 3: So I stood on the line for the Q and A,

389
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: and I was like, can I sing?

390
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: Like this seems like the right room just singing.

391
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: You didn't tell your mother you do this at all?

392
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, And so I just stood in the line

393
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 3: and I was like, can I sing? And then they

394
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: were like yeah, and I sang this song called Black

395
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 3: and Gold by Sam Sparrow, and then everyone there was

396
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: like a room full of people who wanted to figure

397
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 3: out how to be a part of the industry, whether

398
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: it's producer or like executive or whatever, and so so

399
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: many people then like ran up to me and my

400
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: mom after like do you have a manager?

401
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: Like do you have a producer? Do you ever? Like

402
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: what are you doing? And then my mom was like okay.

403
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: And then as I started to like build this fan

404
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: base on Tumblr, people started to like reach out and

405
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: wanted to work with me, and so my mom then

406
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: put me in with someone that she knew and trusted

407
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: at the time, and I started to just like, uh,

408
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: make original music, like you know, work with some writers

409
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: and producers. And I was still in high school, but

410
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: then it was becoming difficult. So then I started to

411
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 3: get homeschooled, because like I would be in the studio

412
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: really late and we were trying to get me a

413
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: record deal, and it was so funny because I would

414
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: go all the labels and like, now that I think

415
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 3: about it, I'm so embarrassed.

416
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: But I'd be like in fun of like Lee or

417
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: Cohen and like all.

418
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: These I think even La Read and like dancing and

419
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: singing and like doing this whole stupid little show. And

420
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 3: they were like, hmm, she's cute. And my spirit was

421
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: so crushed because I'm so young, just like standing in

422
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: front of these people like pick me, and then they're

423
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: like no, and I'm like all right, fine, and I

424
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: just developed. Actually I was younger than that. I was younger.

425
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: I wasn't like seventeen at that time. I was probably

426
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: like fourteen fifteen.

427
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: And then.

428
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so would that again, No, why not give because

429
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: we want the audience to understand the process.

430
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: Well.

431
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 3: Also, times are so different now. I think that when

432
00:20:54,200 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: I was first starting, like there was still this I

433
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: guess old school mentality at like record labels and like

434
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: artist development, and like that's not necessarily a thing anymore

435
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: because we have platforms like TikTok or Instagram right now

436
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 3: and YouTube where so many people are kind of just

437
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: becoming like overnight like sensations, just because.

438
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: I think that it's both.

439
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: I think that there's pros and cons to it because now,

440
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of just strange because everyone like

441
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: thinks that they're like a rapper and artists. And I

442
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: think that it's great that people like obviously everyone loves music.

443
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 3: It's a universal language, so people if you have the

444
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: ability to make music, like, why wouldn't you? And then

445
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: there's platforms where like it can reach people hundreds millions

446
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: of people, like in a second, so why would you

447
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: not share that? And I think that there's a difference

448
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: between people who just enjoy like making music and then

449
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 3: people who like want to be a star, because even

450
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 3: and I learned that very early on, like just with

451
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 3: working with a bunch of songwriters, because I'm like, these

452
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: people are so talented, like why aren't they like celebrities?

453
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: Why aren't they like bigger? Like why aren't they superstars?

454
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 3: And it's just everyone doesn't want to be that, you know,

455
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: like you can be talented and creative and like have

456
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: all these ideas, but not everybody to be in front

457
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: of the camera and to be like the face of

458
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 3: it all, Like you really have to have tough skin.

459
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: And that's what I think is a dangerous part of

460
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 3: that people aren't really like aware of, especially like the

461
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: kids who like are just like putting out songs online,

462
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 3: and like when it comes like mental health, it's like

463
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 3: they're not prepared for that. Like not everybody has that

464
00:22:48,560 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: thick of skin to be in this industry to that capacity.

465
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I would, I would kind of dare to say.

466
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: And I'm sure what I'm not sure which part you're

467
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: saying you would do differently, But I think you having

468
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: those moments of disappointment, but you still going through your routine,

469
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: You still going through your act and step act and

470
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: stepping up and just you know, but it really prepared

471
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: you and and it hardened you in a way to

472
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: where once you get into really get into this, you

473
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you gotta have a tough out

474
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: of shelter. Those blows keep coming, they don't stop, they

475
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: don't stop. It gets the blows get heavier. Actually, yeah, because.

476
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 4: As he continues to grow in this thing, yeah, oh.

477
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the bag is heavier and the losses are heavier.

478
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: You know what, I mean, so it's like you you

479
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: were you were courageous very early. I'll give you that.

480
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

481
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 3: I mean, well, my mom she's taught me to be

482
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: to be that way. But you're right, I guess I

483
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't change anything, honestly because everything that I went through

484
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 3: from a young age, through this industry, through the labels

485
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 3: that I've been at, and now being independent, like, it's

486
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 3: all made me the woman and the artist that I

487
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 3: am today and right now even though I've I got

488
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: signed to the first label when I was seventeen and

489
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 3: I'm twenty seven now, so that's ten years ago. Yeah,

490
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: and I feel like just so refreshed and like new

491
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: because I'm so much more sure of who I am

492
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 3: just as a human and as an artist, and I

493
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 3: know what I like. And I went through all these

494
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: things where I listened to everyone because I thought that

495
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 3: they knew it was best for me. And now I'm

496
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 3: just like when I'm in the studio, I have just

497
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 3: such a different energy and love because there was a

498
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 3: certain point where I just felt like I was just

499
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 3: doing homework or doing like a science project when I

500
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: was recording a song, and like.

501
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: Whenever I would write, they would be like, oh, it's

502
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: not good.

503
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 3: It's not good, instead of like having a team around

504
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: me that encouraged me to be better, but to get

505
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 3: my ideas like out right, you know. And I think

506
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: that I don't take anything personal obviously, like this is

507
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: this industry. I learned that from young and like I'm

508
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 3: sure like my mom kind of like prepared me for

509
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 3: that as well too, and also tried to protect me

510
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: as much as she could from the evils. But I

511
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: think now at this age that I'm at and the

512
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: space that I'm in in life, I'm so beyond excited,

513
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: And a.

514
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: Lot of people.

515
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 3: Probably would think that at this point I'd be jaded,

516
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: you know, and are like tired of it. But I

517
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: always I have this saying where it's like if your

518
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 3: favorite artist gave up when things got too hard, they

519
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: wouldn't be your favorite artist today. And I fully believe that.

520
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: And there's so many examples, like and even artists who

521
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 3: are just receiving their flowers for that I've been following

522
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 3: for a while, like whether it's Doja Cat, I've been

523
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 3: looking at her since like SoundCloud days on Tumblr and

524
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: even Sizza, Like I've been listening to all these art

525
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: even Kendrick.

526
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 2: I've listening.

527
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: I've been listening to all these people from like The

528
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 3: Jump and The Weekend and everyone, Like it's just like,

529
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 3: that's why I have such an a love for it

530
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 3: because I see, like what happens when you stay the

531
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: course and when you fully believe in yourself and when

532
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 3: you create a team around you that can you know,

533
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 3: help you bring your dreams to fruition.

534
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's dope. At twenty seven? Let me think, was

535
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: that on the bench at twenty seven? I think, so, yeah, yeah,

536
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: you have been benched. I have been benched.

537
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

538
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: Put on the shelf? Put on the shelf?

539
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 4: I mean we you know, we we connected to sports. Yeah,

540
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 4: we both grew up playing sports. So it's like everything

541
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 4: with us with music, we look at it in a

542
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 4: sports way too, you know what I mean. But he

543
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 4: was on the shelf after having a hit record, hit album,

544
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 4: having labeled dispute.

545
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 3: Well that's why I also like when I first like

546
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: became independent, I was so scared because I'd been like

547
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: I've been in Atlantic, I've been at rock Nation, and

548
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, what do I do?

549
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: Like, how do I do this?

550
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: Like the biggest Yeah, So I'm just like, what do

551
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 3: you like when you have people like Charlie walk in

552
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: your face like you're three minutes away, and like everyone's like, yeah,

553
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: you got this, and I'm like, well no, I'm independent,

554
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 3: so yeah, and I was like, I was so scared,

555
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 3: and I was like, how do I even like get

556
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: in with producers?

557
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: Like how did you make that turn? Though? What what

558
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: made you go from from Atlantic in the rock Nation

559
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: and all of these buildings to becoming your own buildings? Well?

560
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: I was with Atlantic for three years, and you know,

561
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: things weren't going as I expect them to have gone

562
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: in the in that three year span, and you know,

563
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: so we parted ways due to some things and it

564
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: was fine. And then obviously I like, you know, I'm

565
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: from Brooklyn, so like, and my mom's obviously from Brooklyn.

566
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 3: So we had like connections over at rock Nation and

567
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 3: that was just like so cool to me to be like,

568
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm a Brooklyn girls side a jay Z.

569
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: And so I was there and a lot of interesting

570
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 3: things happened there as well too.

571
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: I got to work with.

572
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 3: The Dream and Tricky on a project and and it

573
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: was just really an awesome experience that I learned too

574
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 3: I would go into that office every day like I

575
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 3: was going to school, like what are we doing? Like,

576
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: and after being with them for three years too, like

577
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 3: I just wasn't in the place that I wanted to

578
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: be yet. And so my mother and I we just

579
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 3: took a risk in wanting to be independent. And it

580
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: was scary at first, especially financially too. Ye, that is

581
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: the toughest part of being independent, just finding you are

582
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: the bank. Yeah, no, you are the bank.

583
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: You are the bank.

584
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 3: And then the building a team around you of people

585
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: because and you have to like outsourcings like a publicist, and.

586
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: It's a lot of favorites. But then I realized too.

587
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: We even did a song together, remember that one time

588
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: that we had that session, put it out on SoundCloud.

589
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 3: That was me like finding that getting into my songwriting pocket.

590
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: But it was the greatest decision I could have ever

591
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: made because it just taught me more about myself. And

592
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: I also realized like in being an art like when

593
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: you're signed to a label, you're kind of like sheltered,

594
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 3: You're so like baby, That's was my experience where it's

595
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: like your A and R is setting up the sessions

596
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 3: for you, Like I'm not developing relationships with these producers

597
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: or these other artists that I'm working with and these songwriters,

598
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: I'm just like showing up. Yeah, I'm just like showing up.

599
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: And I'm like, that's not And all my peers that

600
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: I'm like friends with, I'm like, that's not their experience,

601
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 3: Like why is that my exper I'm just doing homework.

602
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: And that's why I was like falling out of love

603
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: with this whole cycle and being so disappointed when things

604
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: didn't work out. Where it's like now like I'm so

605
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 3: proud of the work that I'm doing, regardless of how

606
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: anyone feels about it, because I know what went into

607
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 3: this and the whole process, and.

608
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to interrupt you, but that's that's that's

609
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: a that's kind of crazy, right, because most artists enjoy

610
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: the pampered stay the coddling, you know what I'm saying,

611
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: where they're being weighted on hand and foot and just

612
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, make sure my per diem is and tell

613
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: them I want this at the studio and then they

614
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: just you know, and you, on the other hand, are

615
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: like you didn't feel hands on enough to understand how

616
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: the earth was moving around.

617
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: You time I was like.

618
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 3: I won't say who obviously, but I was with an

619
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: artist and I was in a session and I.

620
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: Was like so excited. I'm like, oh my god, you

621
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: have like a violinist.

622
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 3: Here, like you're not going to it was like, yeah,

623
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna leave. And I'm like you're not going

624
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 3: to wait for the violinists to get here? Like, well,

625
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: I'm done, and I'm like you don't want to see

626
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: what he's going to put on your song. He's like no,

627
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: they'll take care of it. And I'm like, you just started,

628
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: and this is how you're acting.

629
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: Oh, this is a disaster. It was crazy.

630
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: I could not believe it. I was like, this is crazy,

631
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: Like I want to be in the studio. I want

632
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: I'm not leaving without experience. Yeah, but also like I'm

633
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 3: not leaving without a.

634
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: Bounce of my song. I don't care who what?

635
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, like I now have learned

636
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: that lesson. It's like I need to leave with the bounce.

637
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: I want to listen to it in the car. I

638
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: want to see.

639
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: Sessions. I don't know, I don't know who's supposed to

640
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: pay what, but you better put something on this floppy disk.

641
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: I also used to think because like I was recording

642
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: a bunch of songs that like I didn't necessarily have

643
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: anything to do with.

644
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: That I needed to.

645
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: Like if I didn't finish the song and one day

646
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: that I was a failure.

647
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: Like it was so crazy.

648
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, like I didn't finish

649
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: cutting this song, and like one day I only cut

650
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: one song today like I'm a failure.

651
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: And now that I'm like like, wait.

652
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: I want this to be perfect, like and and.

653
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: That takes time.

654
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: I can't just like and sometimes it does happen where

655
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: like you're in you catch a vibe and like you

656
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: can cut the song and it's like great, like the

657
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: first time you cut it, but it's like no, I

658
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: want to go back. But also like listening to it,

659
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: I thought that like once you cut it, it's there,

660
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: it's bounced, that's it.

661
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I learned it from Static, like I was the

662
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: guy that record five six songs in a day and

663
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: make the track and write it and do the whole

664
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: like I was that guy. I'm on a thousand yeah,

665
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: and I will watch Static just sit at the board

666
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: and listen to a track and lay two lines and

667
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: get back in front. Of the board and just kind

668
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: of sit, smoke a little bit, go back, lay a

669
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: third line, and then yeah, I'm gonna come back tomorrow.

670
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, all right.

671
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: And I watched him work on a song for like

672
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: four days and then listen to it. I'm I'm gonna

673
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: come back. I'm gonna come back tomorrow. Listen to it,

674
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: come back, listen to it. I need to I need

675
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: to switch this up, and after you you're not done.

676
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: And then I watch him do that, and it's why

677
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: he's static major, it's why he has the hit records

678
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: that he has, because he just took his times. I think.

679
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 4: I think that's something that's especially with social media, because

680
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: social media put a spotlight on the experiences, are a

681
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: spotlight on the experiences that people wanted to push out.

682
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I mean.

683
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 4: I think, you know, even when people start doing the

684
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 4: whole I don't write nothing down. Yeah, there are artists

685
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 4: and writers who do do that and are really good

686
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 4: at that, but that's not for everyone, you know, And

687
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 4: I think what's been promoted is that makes me more

688
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: talented than such and such, which is.

689
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: Not the truth. Absolutely you know what I mean.

690
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: You know, like we go back and Tupac was a poet,

691
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, So he literally has books

692
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 4: of poems. But then you have jay Z on the

693
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 4: other hand. That's like listen, I get it off from

694
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 4: my mind. It can go both ways, and I think

695
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 4: with the newer and the younger generation, it got put

696
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 4: into this space of I do it quick. Oh you know,

697
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: I do my records in fifteen minutes. Well some of

698
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 4: those records sound like fifteen minute records, you know what

699
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 4: I mean. I don't care how many of you did today,

700
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 4: Maybe you should have took fifteen days. Because anybody that's

701
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 4: ever worked with Michael Jackson, who I will argue and

702
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 4: fight with anyone as the greatest singer, entertainer, everything of

703
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 4: all time. You would be in a studio with that man.

704
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 4: It might get a record done a month depending.

705
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: On how he you know.

706
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: But that's why it sounds he wasn't coming.

707
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 4: Out of that studio with mediocre records or a mediocre

708
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 4: feel anything, you know what I mean, Because yes, everything

709
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 4: is subjective. We do music, it's it's someone's fail.

710
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a colossal fail, you know.

711
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 4: What I mean, but sonically it's going to be right,

712
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 4: the mix is going to be right. They're gonna make

713
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 4: sure the words make sense next to each other, you

714
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like Michael Jackson wasn't just doing

715
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 4: a vibe. And sometimes I personally feel like the word

716
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 4: vibe gets thrown out as this thing of And you

717
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 4: said that too, of you know, it's not judged the.

718
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: Same because it's like, oh, it's just vibing.

719
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 4: Well, you want somebody to take their time and listen

720
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 4: to it and pay for and all these other things

721
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 4: that you you really aren't putting your full into. That's

722
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 4: why I respect what you're saying, Like, no, I want

723
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 4: to be a full part of it. I really want to.

724
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: I want to put into work.

725
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I think was so special about not

726
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: this last part I put up, but the one that

727
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: I did with Timbaland, because.

728
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 1: Who's my favorite producer by iconic.

729
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so he produced my whole album Space and Time,

730
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 3: and we did a documentary about it that's on my YouTube,

731
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 3: and it just goes through the whole process of like

732
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: covid and I's just like I never met him before

733
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: in my life, but I was obviously such a huge fan,

734
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 3: and he'd followed me on Instagram, and so we would

735
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 3: he would send me beats and then I would just

736
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 3: like write to them and I just be freaking out

737
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 3: and I would just put them on YouTube, like these

738
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 3: one minute clips that we would just do side by side,

739
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 3: and then after like the tenth one, We're just like,

740
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: we have to figure out how to get to each

741
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 3: other so we can like finish this project. And we did,

742
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 3: and we put it out and we shot sick music

743
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 3: videos to it and all independent, and like I couldn't

744
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: believe that that's crazy that that happened. And you know,

745
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 3: like obviously people are still like discovering the project, Like

746
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 3: as people are discovering me my music from like nine

747
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 3: ten years ago.

748
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: There's always someone who hasn't heard it yet exactly.

749
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: And it's funny because a lot of like my fans

750
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 3: who have heard these songs before, they're so frustrated because like,

751
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 3: where's the new music, And I'm like, listen, there's millions

752
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 3: of people. Like last year, I had maybe like two

753
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 3: million monthly listeners on Spotify, maybe like one point six.

754
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: I just checked to have ten minutes ten million then

755
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 3: counting of and that's just on Spotify. Like I haven't

756
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: released anything new. Yeah, and I put out a single

757
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 3: last year, but.

758
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: That's it.

759
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 3: Like I haven't put out like a new like project,

760
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: and I'm just like, wow, I can't believe like platforms

761
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 3: like a TikTok can really.

762
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 4: Just like I'll take you somewhere else, take you somewhere. Yeah,

763
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 4: and you and you have ownership of all of your

764
00:37:58,719 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 4: music now.

765
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: Right, not all of it, but that song. Yeah. I

766
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,840

Speaker 4: Up, we're gonna promote, We're gonna promote the things you want.

768
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, the dark side right now.

769
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 3: But it was so crazy because I'm like, oh, that's

770
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 3: so crazy. Like I'm like, oh, I don't know if

00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 3: I own that song because I did that song when

772
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 3: I was at Atlantic, and so I'm just like, oh,

Speaker 5: That's crazy?

778
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: Are you interacting? Yeah? Yeah, by side, I'll do it.

779
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: I'll do no.

780
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 4: So that it's you have two versions of the Clyde record.

781
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's the one with Tiger, which is like

782
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: the original one, and so on my project dark Side

783
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 3: that I just put out, it's the solo, which a

784
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 3: lot of people were asking for.

785
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said that discovery is in lists

786
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: and it goes back to just just stay the course

787
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: and do good stuff because when people accidentally hit that

788
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: page or go down that rabbit hole and bump into it,

789
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: you know what, it's like finding a dope restaurant. Yeah, yeah,

790
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

791
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: And like all the restaurant has been around for like

792
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 2: however long. I was like, well, now it's spot.

793
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,600

00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:26,520

Speaker 1: You've been doing it for ten years, which which is crazy, but.

802
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 4: Longer than that evening professionally. Yeah, yeah, you've been in

815
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 4: If you guys don't have this for Scissa, she's not

816
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 4: coming and I'm not going to make any phone call

817
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 4: for you and I, but I love to hear that.

818
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 4: It's you know what I'm saying for like you said,

819
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 4: it's what she deserves. She's worked so hard to get

820
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 4: to this space and she they know, they know the

821
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 4: type of room she gonna fill up.

822
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 3: But people see like they just see like where she's

823
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 3: at now, and they don't really like get to which

824
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 3: is why I love like when artists do documentaries because

825
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: you really get to like see their growth and like

826
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: where they came from. And I think that's so beautiful

827
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: and it gives you like a different level of like

828
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 3: appreciation and respect for them as well too.

829
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 2: Like people just.

830
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 3: Read headlines and they just listen to a song for

831
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: two seconds a snippet, like every our attention spans have

832
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 3: gotten so short, and I think that that kind of sucks,

833
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 3: like as like time progresses, like our attention spans just

834
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: like shrink, and then as like I'm so grateful for TikTok,

835
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 3: but it's like the one second, like what there was

836
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 3: that moment of like Steve Lacy, who's like one of

837
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 3: my friends, and there was like obviously one of his

838
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 3: songs went crazy TikTok, and there was number one, I

839
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 3: Love Love how so.

840
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: Many girl a great songs.

841
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: But then like everyone gets tickets for his concerts, and

842
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 3: then like there's that one video that went around where

843
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 3: it was like no one knew the rest of the

844
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: words to the song. They just knew the hook and

845
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 3: they were like beating him down about that on social media.

846
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 2: But it's just like you guys are standing there, you

847
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: should feel stupid.

848
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 3: You guys should feel dumb that you don't know the

849
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 3: words to this artist that you just paid however many

850
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: dollars to go their show standing there. Whatever day, this is,

851
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 3: this is the time you wanted to waste your time

852
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 3: coming to somebody show that you're one of them, like

853
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 3: talk shit about that, you don't know. It's just like

854
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 3: we don't the respect for artists who like get on

855
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: stage and like put this work into like do this

856
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 3: obviously like people, they don't, they don't care. But I

857
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 3: hope that a shift is beginning where people are becoming

858
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: more just appreciative of everything.

859
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: What a tough part about us as entertainers is that

860
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: for people it's it's so disposable. Yeah, you know what

861
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: I mean. And for them, for most people, it's just

862
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: about the end result.

863
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so true.

864
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: It's just about Okay, entertainment. You know, I paid this

865
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: money entertainment. You know what I'm saying, Like, if something

866
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: goes faulty within that entertainment, they could care less about that,

867
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They care less that it's

868
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: not your fault that the building couldn't house the power

869
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: that that is covering your LED, And then LED goes down,

870
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: and then your pro tools which was running fine before

871
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: sound check, all of a sudden, your pro toos rig

872
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: is on the fritz. And then your backup pro toos

873
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: rig it ain't running. Like they don't care you're standing

874
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: there holding the bag like I promise we we rehearsed

875
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: for six months for this to get this right for you.

876
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: But you'll still see on the ground the show was weak.

877
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe I paid. And it's like there's this

878
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: this this disconnect with the work that we put in,

879
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: not even versus what they want. But how do you

880
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: say that, like we're trying. I promise you we are.

881
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: I think sometimes you have to say that, and if

882
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: it goes back.

883
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: I think people respect that.

884
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think more artists should stand in front

885
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 4: of that. Hey listen, if you got a bad show

886
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 4: or you was sick or now, with the platforms that

887
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 4: we have, it's nothing to go on there and say, hey,

888
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 4: man had a bad night last night.

889
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

890
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 3: I think that it's just also like it means more

891
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 3: and like you develop a different connection with your audience

892
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 3: when you are vocal about like the mess ups. You know,

893
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: like I was at the weekend show that he did

894
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 3: so fine and he got t he was like, you

895
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: know what, like I'm not I want to give you

896
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 3: guys a great show, so I'm not going to put

897
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 3: you through this if I if.

898
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: I know that's not gonna be the best, and we'll

899
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: reschedule it.

900
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 3: And like, I think for the most part, like your

901
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 3: real fans.

902
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: Will appreciate something like that that you want to give

903
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 2: them the best.

904
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: Fans We're trying, We're trying our.

905
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 3: Best, but I think like real fans understand that the

906
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 3: fans from just thele that.

907
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: Just watching people just hover.

908
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 4: But we need all of it ultimately, because the business

909
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 4: that we're in is entertainment, entertainment, and it's controlled by

910
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 4: the people, and either it's love or hate or it's

911
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 4: a little bit of both, but you need the people.

912
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 3: For me though, I've I feel like I've entered a

913
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 3: space where like obviously it still gets rough, like you know,

914
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 3: there's comments that you see online and like when you're

915
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 3: being attacked.

916
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: Like it doesn't feel good.

917
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 3: But and I actually one of my fans like at

918
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: DMG the other day, like how do you do it?

919
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you know what, I've like made more

920
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 3: of an effort to realize that at the end of

921
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 3: the day, I am a human as well too, and

922
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: just to keep good people around me. And I'm starting

923
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 3: to do this thing too where it's like if i

924
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 3: feel like I've gotten too like engulfed in my phone.

925
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 3: Like I'm just like the way I just said, it's

926
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 3: starting to do this thing as if it's not a thing.

927
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 3: Like I'm just like, you know, I'm just gonna pick

928
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: up a book and read, Like even if I have

929
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:59,320

Speaker 4: Me just because a lot of people aren't doing that,

934
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 4: a lot of people aren't tapping in.

935
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read the book on my phone.

936
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 3: I thought I could do that, but I thought I

937
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 3: could do that, but that I even want on my iPad.

938
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,239

Speaker 3: Discipline, Like I really need to be more disciplined, and

941
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 3: like if I'm on my phone, like I have I

942
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 3: even deleted Sorry I'm little sick. I deleted like Instagram

943
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 3: and Twitter from like my screen. But I can still

944
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 3: like pull my search thing down and search Instagram, Twitter

945
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: and like I found myself doing that way more than

946
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 3: if it was just on my home screen.

947
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 4: It's extremely addictive, especially and especially for your generation because

948
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 4: you grew up in it completely, right, so I know

949
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 4: how to tap out of it because I haven't always

950
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 4: had it, you know what I mean. Even though in

951
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 4: our generation as well, it's still people who are addicted

952
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 4: to it as well.

953
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: Conant searching.

954
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but your generation, it's it's completely.

955
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: It's like cartoons. A part of your life.

956
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 4: This is this is what y'all do is figuring out

957
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 4: what's going on in the ground, getting as much foolish

958
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 4: information as possible all day long. Like you said, it's

959
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 4: hard not to type in your name and see what

960
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 4: they're talking about or see what you know.

961
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: It's it's all I say.

962
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 4: It's it's a it's a process of just finding what

963
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 4: works for you and what don't work for you. Because

964
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 4: for some people them being fully locked in has actually

965
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 4: become a business.

966
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: They know that.

967
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's to get none out of it.

968
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 3: But I mean, I know so many people or it's

969
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,399

00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 3: And then and then he's like, why are you in

1160
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 3: my phone? And I was just like that's what you

1161
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 3: have to say. And I was like he was like, well, Ef,

1162
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 3: you're so unhappy, then leave and I was like, I

1164
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 3: the opportunity and he was like whatever anyway, So then

1165
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 3: something happened. And this is like at a time where

1166
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 3: like because of COVID, like we were doing like live

1167
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 3: for brands and like doing like mini performances, and so

1168
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 3: I had to do a performance for like Levi's or something,

1169
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 3: and I had to go live and the time was coming,

1170
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 3: but all of this was happening, and I was like, shoot,

1171
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 3: like I'm gonna have to do this performance here, like

1172
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 3: I have to set up and like so I can't leave,

1173
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 3: and so like I'm like, this is the worst moment ever.

1174
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 3: So I'm sitting and like and he's like, just do

1175
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 3: the performance here, and I was like, don't talk to me, like,

1176
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 3: don't speak, actually, just shut up forever.

1177
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 2: And so I'm just like whatever.

1178
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 3: And then his brother and his mom come and like

1179
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 3: they're helping me and he's just like, I don't know

1180
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 3: what the hell he's doing. They had to leave because

1181
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 3: they had to go do something or go home or whatever.

1182
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 3: And so I'm sitting there and I set up the

1183
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 3: phone and then he like I pressed start and then

1184
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 3: he comes into where I'm doing the live sits in

1185
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 3: front of me while I'm singing doing the performance, and

1186
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 3: every time I finished the song, he would clap.

1187
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it was horrible.

1188
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 2: And then.

1189
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 3: I'm on live, so I had to like pretend like

1190
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 3: nothing was happening, and he was just empty room, just him.

1191
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, you should rot now, and then I left.

1192
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of funny. That's wrong.

1193
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 4: Some ship is so bad.

1194
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 2: So bad.

1195
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 3: But you know, it was really funny because when my

1196
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 3: birthday came around to get back, because at that point

1197
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 3: I was like I was long ago, I was like

1198
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 3: I left the whole stay. I was like goodbye. And

1199
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 3: then he reached out to all my friends like trying

1200
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 3: to be like I need to make this up to her,

1201
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 3: like I mess things up, Like reached out to my

1202
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 3: managers at the time, all my best friends. He was like,

1203
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 3: I need to come to l A and surprise her,

1204
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 3: and they were like no, like, we don't think that's

1205
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 3: a good idea, like send flowers so haha, jokes on him.

1206
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, so no, get back, no goodbye, you're trash.

1207
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Oh she found her camera too.

1208
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 3: But when I look back at these moments, I'm like, honestly,

1209
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 3: like you have to laugh, Like it was traumatic in

1210
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 3: the in the moment, but it's like and also I

1211
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 3: learn my lesson.

1212
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: But that's a that's like a scene movie that wasn't

1213
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: don't do with people, have another place to perform.

1214
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 3: No, the lesson was if I ever am dating someone

1215
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 3: and I feel the need that I need to look

1216
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 3: through their ship, you probably should shouldn't be with them.

1217
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 2: That's that's the lesson. Also, find a closer venue.

1218
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: I live by that. If I got to look check

1219
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: after you run out, it ain't worth it. I don't

1220
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:26,560
