<v Speaker 1>We get to speak to the mythical magical. I said

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:27.320
<v Speaker 1>it wrong, mystical magical Jason Moraz Are you kidding?

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not ready.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>We're such big fans.

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Jason raz is the sweetest human with the sweetest voice.

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I met him backstage at Waitress. I went to go

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>visit and he was doing doctor Pometer at that point, to.

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Which I'm so mad I'm going to see him do.

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 3>That, Kevin.

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>To watch him sing you Matter to Me with Sarah

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Brellis was such a treat.

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean truly such a treat.

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>And he's featured on Sarah's twenty fifteen album What's Inside

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 1>the Songs from Waitress, so you should go listen to

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that too. So it was like projecting him coming to

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>do it.

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Those two singing together should not be allowed.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>No, I know, I know, it was really something else.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>I think they both have perfect pitch.

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:18.559
<v Speaker 1>That would make sense.

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>What oh I I love to ask you more about that.

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:27.160

<v Speaker 3>Well, Santa Barbara's fancy, But a hotel.

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:42.800

<v Speaker 3>to be in waitress.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I believe it. I will one day be in waitress.

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you could be old Joe at some point, Kevin,

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:38.919

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>or if they have, then you too. Anyway, because you

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>have one of the craziest voices.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.760

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>how you do it. But like, every time you hit

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.959
<v Speaker 2>a high note, I'm like, oh, surely that's the top

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 2>of his range. And you just keep going up. You

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>just keep going and your voice never breaks and you

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.519
<v Speaker 2>have like this beautiful rasp but you put in that.

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I just yeah, so cool.

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for saying.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.119
<v Speaker 2>So Yeah.

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Our show right now is so much fun. We have costumes,

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 3>we have dance moves. It's kind of like a big

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>show choir kind of a feeling. Everybody plays instruments and

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 3>there's multiple multiple instruments. You know, people are changing out

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 3>and switching places and it's so fun and we and

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 3>the show's not you know, we don't do the same

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 3>song order every night, which is also fun where we're

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 3>still trying to make it exciting for ourselves.

0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 2>So great.

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.119
<v Speaker 3>So I think if you if you have them into

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 3>a show of mine yet, this would be the tour

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 3>to do it, and also, I don't know how long

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to tour after this, you know, I don't know.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Living in a motel on the side of the freeway.

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Tough people show up and they see you in the lights,

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 2>in the stage and all that, and they think that's

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>all it is.

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 3>They're seeing the best part of the day, you know.

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 3>They're saying, yeah, they're seeing the two hours that everybody

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 3>works all day to put together, you know. And then

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>after that the countdown begins to like, you know, pack

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 3>your stuff and get on the bus. You know, we've

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 3>got like, you know, crew that has to keep things moving,

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 3>and then we all squeeze into a bus that's too

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 3>small for all of us, pile of bags and the

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 3>gross you know, just the smells of the bus are

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 3>not pleasant, and you go bang them out night after night.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 3>There's another job like it. It's like a circus, is

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 3>it really is.

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>We toured for a little bit and we got a

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>small taste of it, and we got some swanky you

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>know things along with it too, and it was not

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a fair tour experience.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, you get you get all the whole spectrum.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's right, Jenna I believe that.

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I believe that.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Congrat thank you, thank you so much.

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 2>So on Glee we got to cover two of your songs,

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Lucky and I Will give Up.

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 2>How does that work from your end? Do you hear

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 2>about like this show wants to use your music? Do

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 2>you approve of it? Had you heard of Glee? How

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 2>does that work from your end?

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 3>I heard of it and knew that they were taking,

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, modern songs and spinning them into the script

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 3>and into the storyline for this musical television show. And

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 3>I just thought that's super cool. And as a songwriter,

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 3>you want to find homes for your songs. You want

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 3>to have places where they're played. And I think the

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 3>more interesting, the better, you know. I think anybody can

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 3>get their song streamed, anybody get their song on the radio,

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.239
<v Speaker 3>but not everybody can get their song woven into a script,

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>into a storyline on a musical television show, you know.

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 3>So I find stuff like that, moments like that to

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 3>be really high honor. And and then I'm always curious,

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 3>is that you know how they're going to take a

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 3>song like I Won't give Up, which, you know, it

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 3>sounds like I'm singing to someone but you know, really,

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm sitting at the table singing to myself to not

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 3>quit and I give up with myself after a heartache,

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 3>after a breakup, I still want to recognize the beauty

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 3>and the other person, but I still want to maintain

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the beauty that I have inside, because when you go

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 3>through a breakup, you feel like a loser, you know.

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 3>And so I won't give up was a way for

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 3>me to say, Look, I don't want to walk away

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 3>from this, I don't want to walk over my dream.

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to give up on thinking I'm a

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 3>cool guy. I won't give up, you know. So that

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 3>song was very healing for me. So whenever I see

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 3>people using it at weddings or in any ceremony in

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 3>their life and in the casically, you know, it was

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 3>pretty amazing just to see how a song idea from

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 3>your kitchen table can suddenly exist in some other universe.

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Totally, yeah, totally did you now? Did you? Were you

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>curious after we use them? Did you not want to

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 1>see it done? Did you watch it? You don't also

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>have to tell us, But I'm just curious because like

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>as actors, some people watch their stuff and some people

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>cannot possibly watch their their work, So I'm just curious,

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>like what you are kind of processes.

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see it in real time. I think I

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 3>saw it much later. I was touring a lot when

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 3>it came out, And honestly, I'm always working on the

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 3>next song, you know. Yeah, I don't think about the

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 3>old songs. I'm delighted, you know, don't get me wrong,

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 3>But as a creator, I'm always like, what I know

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 3>where my next song idea and where my next musical

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 3>expression will be.

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Sure.

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>It was also so fun for us because we did

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>so many older songs as well, Like a big part

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>of the foundation of Glee was doing sort of eighties

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and seventies music. Sure, And I remember when we first

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 2>did Lucky so excited. I had my fingers crossed that

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:39.839
<v Speaker 2>I was doing it, but I didn't get to do it.

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>But Cordon Dana who did it. It works so beautifully

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 2>with their voices and in the storyline. And then it

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.959
<v Speaker 2>was one of our favorite times during the show on

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>tour because they did that every single night all over

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the world, and.

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.319
<v Speaker 3>It was really.

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful. I mean, like, I mean the most minised glimpse

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe to what you are receiving every single night on

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>tour because we were all on stage for that, but

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 2>it's those two outperforming it, and so we're looking at

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>an arena full of people singing the song wow and yeah.

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 2>To hear them like that must just be the most

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 2>incredible feeling for you night of night on tour because

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.319
<v Speaker 2>you have gigantic songs and songs that mean a lot

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to people. I think a lot of your songs soundtrack

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people's lives in a way, because you're

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 2>such a good storyteller. When you go out on tour,

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 2>do you do people just bum rush you of how

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>much these songs mean to them.

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't get bum rushed, but I do, you know, receive.

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, hear a lot of great stories about people,

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.599
<v Speaker 3>how they've applied these songs to their lives, or what

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 3>they mean between friends and family. I wish I had

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 3>more of more songs like that, because they when they

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 3>hit in the set list, they pete. You know, the

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.719
<v Speaker 3>show has these moments where suddenly the audience is just

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 3>singing so loud. I have a great singing audience and

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.839
<v Speaker 3>it is a wonderful feeling that I never get tired of.

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 3>And like I said, I wish I had more songs

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 3>in the show like that, because occasionally, you know, I'll

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 3>do a few of those in a row, and then

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I'll go to some obscure song and it's just quiet.

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, the audience is like, Okay, we'll wait until

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 3>we know the next one. So sweet, But wow, I

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 3>didn't I didn't think about that about Lee on tour

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.959
<v Speaker 3>and how that song would be sung. Thank you so much.

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 3>That's a great like visual to imagine arena full of

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 3>people and I'm not even there. Yeah, you know, if

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 3>I want to go on tour again, I might be

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 3>wrapping my tour years up and you can take my

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 3>songs and have That's very nice.

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I think are over you could be a Jason Rats

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 2>cover group, you know what.

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 3>You know what when I'm on to I feel like

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 3>a Jason Rand's cover group, you know, I really do.

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Who played the flash and he was also on Glee.

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I was texting him before this because he and I

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:21.080
<v Speaker 2>used to bond over your music. I love of your music.

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>So I was am like, is there anything you want

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 2>me to ask in your behalf? He's like, no, no, no,

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.360

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 2>good interview.

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>That's cute.

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 3>Hey tell your friend Grant that my friend of house

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 3>mixer e T. He looks he looks a little like

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Rod Stewart. He is the biggest Flash fan, the biggest

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Ye every show, whole series on a little catch him

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.199
<v Speaker 3>watching it on a little iPad on the soundboard. What

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 3>are you doing, I'm watching the Flash. He's in a

0:11:55.720 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 3>digets like I'm watching the Flash show, very familiar with Grant.

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about your new album, because you came out

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago and it's so good.

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.559
<v Speaker 3>Thanks. You know, I'm still trying to do things that

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.079
<v Speaker 3>I haven't done yet. And as a singer songwriter who

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 3>typically writes some guitar piano, it's hard to like break

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.199
<v Speaker 3>out of you know, pop formulaic structure, you know. And

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 3>but I've sort of always been in the acoustic rock lane,

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 3>and I wanted, but I've loved electronic music for my

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 3>whole life, you know. I love synthesizers and beats and

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.599
<v Speaker 3>going to you know, dj C DJs and listen to

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 3>m and all that roller skate to disco and dance music.

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 3>And Michael Jackson was one of my heroes growing up,

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 3>and so I've never really gone down the dance music route,

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 3>and I tried that on this album. I wanted to

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 3>see if I could take the songs we were working

0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 3>on and just go them up a little bit. So

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 3>we we wrote from that perspective of like, how could

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 3>what could we give our audience Because that's another thing

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 3>is we tour so much. We noticed that our audience

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.319
<v Speaker 3>wants to actually participate in dance and do things, you know,

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 3>So we wrote an album that would would hope affect

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 3>our tour and it is, you know. Now we're like

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 3>a little singing and dancing group. I just watched the

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Wham documentary and I'm.

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 4>So inspired by their They're just there, their their attention

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 4>to inclusivity and their their love of dance and bringing

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:33.359
<v Speaker 4>joy to audiences.

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 3>I think that that document came out just the right

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 3>time for us here. We're launching, when we're launching the tour,

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 3>so we feel a little bit like Wham right now.

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 3>And that's kind of what the album feels like as well.

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 3>It's just like happy dancing, uh, cheering you on to

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 3>go live your dream type of songs.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>We need more of that right now. So I'm glad

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>that you are sending that out into the world right now.

0:13:59.040 --> 0:13:59.280

<v Speaker 3>Thanks for having me on your program. Okay, goodbye, Oh.

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 2>My god, so nice guys. We just talked to Jason Rice.

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 2>We should really start using this podcast as a way

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 2>to just hang out with people were gigantic fans of.

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I remember, and I just didn't we didn't have

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>enough time. But I remember they would ask me on

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the carpet what I would want to sing, and I

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>would do a lot of carpets with you, Kevin, and

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I would be like, I don't want to tell them

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>what I want to sing anywhere. I'm tired of that.

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, well, I want Kevin to sing I'm yours,

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and I would always pitch that one for you out

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in the world. But we loved Jason Raz. We loved

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>listening to when we were such a big fan of his.

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 2>One of my earliest memories of living in LA when

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I well, when I first started going to LA before

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I properly moved there. I think I was thirteen or fourteen.

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I made my mom drive me to a CD warehouse

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 2>is what it was called, to buy Jason Raz's very

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 2>first album. I remember it, oh so clearly. I went

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>and buy myself. I paid for it by myself because

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 2>I saw him like on VH one or something they're

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 2>doing like a new artist Spotlight, and I was like,

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I want this guy to be so successful, because you know,

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 2>it was indie pop. It wasn't what everybody else was

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 2>doing at the time, and I felt like I need

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 2>to do my part and make sure Kevin he gets

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 2>to keep making music, and wow, wow, you know it's

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>like I said to him, soundtracks the rest of my life.

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 1>We got to see him from New York last a

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, and he was really it was

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>really inspiring, and he's really wonderful, and you can tell

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>how much he loves his craft and how much he

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>respects it, and and it's so grounded, so just.

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 2>How naturally good he is at it too. It all

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 2>just comes pouring out.

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>So his eighth studio album is mystical, magical, rhythmic, rhythmical,

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 1>radical Ride. You try saying that ten times fast in
