Speaker 1: Like the two of them sang his songs. You're he

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,080

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you that. So like when that happened,

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,520

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Let's hope I don't mess it up. I would be

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: so terrified to audition for American Idol anyway, but to

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: go in and sing one of the judges songs with them.

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: Listen to this. Wait, wait the work to be done.

Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a what an honor. Honestly, I'm

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: like I said, I couldn't believe it, but the fact

27
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: that I got to play with someone who is as

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: iconic and as incredibly talented as him was just incredible.

29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: But hold on, for sake, Listen to this, parents, listen

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: to this. Kids. So give us a little snapshot of

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: your story and how you got to Hollywood, how you

32
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: got to La burb Originally, Oh my god, Ryan, how

33
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: much time do you have? I'll keep it short, so

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, basically, when I was twelve, I went to

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: an acting competition and I won for my age group,

36
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: and my mom was like, you know what, we need

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: to move to La She's going to be a star.

38
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: I love that, you know, not the best idea, but

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: it happened. It was you know, it was definitely an experience.

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: But so I came out here, I started acting. But

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: then I grew to be six feet tall and the

42
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: cast directors were like, you're you're kind of tall for

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: this whole acting thing. So I kind of moved into

44
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: my passion for music and I started doing music, which

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: basically I've been doing for the last twelve years, and

46
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: honestly it has been a struggle with a lot of triumphs,

47
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: but I've kind of gone through this journey of you know,

48
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: being an artist and feeling like, oh God, I have

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: to be so successful in order to like, you know,

50
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: make this whole move worth it, to fulfill all the

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: expectations that I had on me, and then had to

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: kind of go away for a little bit, moved to

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: New Zealand for a while to kind of find myself

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: as an actual artist, and then kind of came back

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: to LA and I was like, all right, you know

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: what this is. This is it now. I'm not gonna

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: no more giving up, no more kind of taking steps back.

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: Artistry is where it's at, and this is what I

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: want to do through to find myself as an artist

60
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: and go to New Zealand. Why let's go, like I

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: know all the good places, no, But what's fascinating is

62
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: like you felt pressure because your mom was like, let's

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: go do it you move everything out and then that's

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: like on your shoulders. That's a lot at a young age. Yeah,

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: it was definitely really interesting. Mind you, my mom had

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: the best intentions. I love her to death. We have

67
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: a great relationship. But I think that when you're a

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: very young child and you do have, you know, a

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: certain talent in an area, and then your family picks

70
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: up and moves out to a different place in order

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: for you to be successful, that a lot of people

72
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, You're the next Taylor Swift

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: and next Hailey Williams, all this different stuff. I definitely

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: internalized that pressure for sure and was like, all right, well,

75
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: I have to become that successful, especially at that young

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: of an age. You know, I have to be a

77
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: sixteen year old superstar in order to feel like I

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: was doing my parents proud, in order to make sure

79
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: that everyone who saw us moved to California didn't think

80
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: that we were crazy. But honestly, it was a great

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: It was a great lesson for me because it made

82
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: me realize that, like, I needed to detach my value

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: from the level of success that I have. And so

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: now going in again trying to be an artist, wanting

85
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: to be successful, wanting to be touring. I feel like

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm coming at it from a much healthier place now.

87
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: It's a great story and you did a great job

88
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: singing along with Lana Rich. This is brief from American

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: Isle was on on Sunday show. We will continue to

90
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: watch your journey. Congratulations, it's great to see you. Must

91
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: be a wine lover. I'm looking at the quarks behind.

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: It's so funny. I actually don't really drink, but my

93
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: roommates have like captured all of our I'm blaming my roommates.

94
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: It's their fault. Thank you so much. By It's interesting

95
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: that she was told by casting directors you're too tall.

96
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeahs interesting. I didn't know that that was a thing.

97
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I was too short for modeling. That was

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: the issue for me. What is the thing with the

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: acting being like you're not within the frame, so like

100
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: if you're with another actor, it's like the whole thing too.

101
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, I think that's not okay. I

102
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't say you're too tall. Well, there's

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things that are not okay that happen,

104
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: I know, But they say something like that and then

105
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: it gets in her head and I'll get that and

106
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: it scarred her and then then she dropped that and

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: then changes her path. But now in New Zealand, that's one.

108
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm just putting that on my bucket list. When she

109
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: said it's not it wasn't on my bucket list, but

110
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm putting it on my buckets. Well, let's go. Let's
