00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: Okay?

163
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 5: So I dropped the song the first or March. The

164
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 5: song blew up like ten months later, and I just

165
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 5: want to use opportunities to like send the message to

166
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 5: any young artists all doing any artists in general, like

167
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 5: pushing this song. Like the fact that the song doesn't

168
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 5: blow up in this first week doesn't mean it's not

169
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 5: going to do way better in the nearest future.

170
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just not his time yet. So that song, babe.

171
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 5: I dropped the song March March twenty nineteen, the first

172
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 5: of March, and for three months, we're just pushing and

173
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 5: pushing and pushing. And then I got a DM from

174
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: a fan in Uganda in East Africa, like Yo, your

175
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 5: song is doing numbers and the song was like number

176
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 5: two on your chart. And I had no idea because

177
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 5: I was just in legals in my parents. I was

178
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: just like I just kept recording music and promoting the

179
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 5: best way that I could. And next thing, I'm getting

180
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 5: bookings from East Africa, like it was so beautiful, Like

181
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 5: the song actually blew up because I stay in West Africa, Nangeria.

182
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: The song actually blew up in East Africa and started

183
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 5: spreading Danny, So the song was actually big in East

184
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: Africa before it was bigging Nigeria. So that was just

185
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 5: beautiful and it's just like I was just really really

186
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: thankful for that. I was a very very memorable experience

187
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 5: and humbling experience for me because it just helped me

188
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 5: realize that, Okay, this is actually like for real. I

189
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 5: started getting bookings like in by June, I start getting

190
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 5: bookings like in like four countries. Counscious, I've never been

191
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 5: before in my life. Then I remember traveling to Tanzania,

192
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 5: and I always have these anxiety that, oh, I've never

193
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: been yet before the people actually know the song, because

194
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: you know, it's different when it's on social media and

195
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 5: people like, oh I love your song, But when you

196
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 5: get to experience that in real life, it's just beautiful.

197
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 5: So I go to Tanzania, I steps on stage and

198
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 5: everybody was screaming and they sang song word for words and.

199
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I had to make you want to cry to be

200
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: so happy.

201
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah mm hmm.

202
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: And did you have your business together at the time, like,

203
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: because you know it wasn't you didn't anticipate all.

204
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: Of that happening.

205
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 3: So so it came, it came in really big, It

206
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 3: came really big. I won't lie.

207
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: I made some mistakes along the way, but I think

208
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 5: mistakes are evidence that you're actually like trying or doing

209
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: something or trying to do something. So I made a

210
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 5: couple of mistakes, but I've learned from them and thankful

211
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 5: for people around me, Thankful for the team, Thankful for

212
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: mister Easy for helping with the business side and stuff.

213
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, and when you linked up and mister Easy,

214
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: were you were aware of the significance of that in

215
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: your career?

216
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 3: Definitely? Definitely.

217
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 5: I've always been the fun of mister Easy from time,

218
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 5: Like two days before he actually sent me a DM,

219
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 5: I posted this picture.

220
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: Wow, I posted this picture, a picture.

221
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 5: Of in my whiskey, like these are my favorite artists.

222
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 5: And two days later I get a call from my

223
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: friend and mister Easy commented on my video. So I

224
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 5: and my friend who prank each other a lot, so

225
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 5: I thought they were pranking me. I was like, don't

226
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 5: do that, like, don't stress me today, and they're like,

227
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 5: go check, go check. Then I go to check. I

228
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 5: see st He's commented, Oh, this your song is fire.

229
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 5: Then while I'm still thinking about it DM to send

230
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 5: to him, he sends me a DM and what he

231
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: sends was his number, Like you text me?

232
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: That had to be amazing. I like how everything happened

233
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: so organically, and.

234
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 5: It's so beautiful because I actually saw it in my

235
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 5: like I dreamt about it before I dreamt about meeting Easy.

236
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 2: That's amazing how you can really wield things into existence

237
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 2: and kind of know what's about to happen before it

238
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: happens and put it out there because sometimes people will

239
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: say write things down and that's how you manifest for

240
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: things to.

241
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 5: I really feel like if you actually have a vision

242
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 5: and believe in anything you walk towards, it's just bound topping.

243
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: I'm just like, yeah, is that the first time you

244
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 4: had to dream about something and then it happened? No,

245
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: So that's how you have that gift then?

246
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like my real name is like my English name

247
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: is Joseph, so actually yah. Yeah, so I've I had

248
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: like a couple of dreams like that too.

249
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's dope, there's something to tap into more.

250
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: I don't know, I'll be kind of scared.

251
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: I know I used to be.

252
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: It's working out. You gotta use your powers for good.

253
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: I would necessarily recording powers though, and even having such

254
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: a successful first project that do you put that out right?

255
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: Sometimes that's also scary because then you got to follow

256
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: that up with even more because the expectations the bar

257
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: is really high for you.

258
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, So for me, I don't like, I don't let

259
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: that pressure get to me because I think it's really

260
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: really important to know your why, Like why are you

261
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: actually doing the music? Are you doing the music because oh,

262
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 5: you want people to see you as a superstar, or

263
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 5: you want to be famous, or you want to be rich,

264
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 5: and just like so if your reason is like I

265
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 5: feel like, if the reason is superficial, that's when like

266
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 5: when issues come up, that's when the pressures comes to

267
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: But me personally, for me, I was always doing music

268
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 5: because I loved making music. Like, even if I didn't

269
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 5: like poper for making music, I'll still be making music

270
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 5: because it was like something that I really enjoyed doing,

271
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: like like like a hobby basically, So I'd never let

272
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 5: the pressure get to me. As long as I believe

273
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 5: that all this music is great, I'll put it out

274
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 5: there and do my best to make sure like the

275
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 5: world listens to it, and that's it for me.

276
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: And collaborations are really important for you also, So how

277
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: do you know who you want to work with.

278
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: Hm hmm.

279
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 5: I'd say most of the collaborations have done with people

280
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 5: that I personally or that I've personally connected with, like

281
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 5: so it happens like organically, so you're like, oh, oh,

282
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 5: I see this personal Like okay, Like we actually meet

283
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 5: and we're just like chilling and having conversations like oh,

284
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 5: let's let's let's link in the studio and mix songs together,

285
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 5: and they usually end up like being like really really

286
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 5: beautiful songs, like most of my features are I.

287
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: Like it okay, And I see you have Ludacris yes

288
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: as a feature too, and the story of you just

289
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: kind of so he reached out to you.

290
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: You guys just linked up.

291
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: So on my tour.

292
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 5: On my tour last year, I had a year store

293
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 5: last year and I was doing Las Vegas and Atlanta,

294
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: and Ludacris was with his wife or the showing Las Vegas.

295
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 5: So his wife is a big fan of my music,

296
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 5: was like his family and so he was there and

297
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 5: was supposed to see at that time, but I think

298
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 5: they had to leave before I finished performing. So we

299
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 5: kept in touch and he wasn't ghanner like earlier this year,

300

Speaker 4: How do you how do you prepare or what's it

318
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: like when you, you know, create music? Are you always

319
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 4: in the studio? Are you you know, at home? Are

320
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: you drinking? Are you smoking? Are you mind?

321
00:13:59,480 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: So?

322
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 5: One thing for me personally, for me, I don't like

323
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 5: to rely on any form of.

324
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to call it outside.

325
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: No drinks, no smoking, no drinks.

326
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 5: I don't drink or smoke before I record or if

327
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 5: I want to record. I don't like to be dependent

328
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 5: on exter now like factors to be able to create

329
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 5: music because I don't want to have to be stuck

330
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 5: on a particular path because it's kind of like a

331
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: slippery slope and you always have to, you know, before

332
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 5: you create. So for me, I like to just be okay,

333
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 5: sober and take my time. I like to write my

334
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 5: songs alone. I know to record myself now, so I

335
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 5: record my songs alone.

336
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: Maybe so bad that makes sense?

337
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so now just called it producer.

338
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 5: And my studio is downstairs, like like it's my house,

339
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 5: but downstairs. So when I wake up, I do my

340
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 5: routine and just go downstairs and create. So I create

341
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 5: for like no reason, Like I'm not like, oh I

342
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 5: want to make a hit song or I have toco somewhere. Anyway,

343
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 5: I feel anyway, the energy is flowing. I just like

344
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: record that way.

345
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: You know what I love to just about first of all,

346
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: the whole continent. I feel like you guys really support

347
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: each other and work together, right more than I see,

348
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: like because just I think about how here it used

349
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: to be like that in Texas, like you could be

350
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: a huge star and just sell records in Texas, And

351
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: I feel like just being in Africa, and I know

352
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: you're from Nigeria, but just like you said, you blew

353
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: up first in East Africa, just being there, you could

354
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: be like a so it makes so much money, right,

355
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: But then I see just how now everybody is being

356
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: more international too, and it feels like that is the place,

357
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: like the way that it has been exponentially the stars

358
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: have been coming from you know, from West Africa, East Africa,

359
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: South Africa and coming here even to the United States

360
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: and to Europe and just making it all worldwide.

361
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like that before. Why do you think

362
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: it's like that now?

363
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 5: No, I knew it was really just like a month

364
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 5: all time, because like we've been making our music music

365
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 5: for like decades. It was just my thought time before

366
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: it spread out. And I'd also like to actually boots

367
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 5: that growth of like African music to the diaspora. Like

368
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 5: there's almost no like international country or where there's America

369
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: or UK or Europe where you won't find like Africans.

370
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: That's true with the community.

371
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 5: And one thing we love to is to celebrate our culture.

372
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: And so wherever like even like I see we see

373
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 5: I see videos of like guys like Nigerian's or all

374
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 5: the Africans go to club and they paid DG to

375
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 5: play like African songs. I wanted to play the song

376
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: and it just kept going from them. And also I

377
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 5: say the streaming streaming platforms when it became like more

378
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 5: popular in Africa, it really helped in spreading that music.

379
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: To the world.

380
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: Just think about it.

381
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: When we went to the Roots Picnic, the best party

382
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: we went to that weekend, it was an Afro based party.

383
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: It was yeah, and that was like the.

384
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 4: Amazing And I'm not going to eat the songs though, Yeah, but.

385
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: They just even if I don't even understand, if it

386
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: don't matter right, yeah, because language wise, it is sometimes

387
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: some English, sometimes your own diet, but then it goes

388
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: in and out of it. But we don't care because

389
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: it just sounds good.

390
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: It's justified.

391
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 5: It's just there's a lot of African songs that I

392
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 5: might necessarily don't know what it means because I don't

393
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 5: understand the language, but the melody just solding it and

394
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 5: the beach is just like captivating.

395
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 2: And the feeling you get even in the club, you know,

396
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: are being outside in the environment. What's your favorite place

397
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: to be when you're on the Road's that you've been

398
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: to since you've been traveling?

399
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 5: So for me, I say, I'm an adrenaline junkie. I

400
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 5: like to do like crazy stuff that makes my heart pump,

401
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 5: like skydiving. I like to visit like a man parks

402
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 5: and going all those like crazy roller coastars. I love

403
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 5: go carton. I love going to the beach and jet

404
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 5: skiing and stuff like paragliding. Like there was a time

405
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 5: when South America I went into the jungle in the

406
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 5: middle of the night and we're seeing like crocodiles and snakes,

407
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 5: like with the eyes shine in the dark.

408
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 3: So I just like I like to live.

409
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: You like to risk your life and.

410
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 5: Not really not really I think for those moments actually

411
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 5: actually do tell you, like this woman is actually like

412
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 5: help you, like, oh, help me.

413
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: I appreciate life more.

414
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, when you put it out there like.

415
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 5: Yeah you have guydived, Yeah I have not by myself

416
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 5: like with somebody yea yeah at that.

417
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: Point, Yeah, did you hesitate when you were about to

418
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: jump back, because I felt like if I tried to

419
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: do that when it's time.

420
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: To go, they have to push me.

421
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: So I was on.

422
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: I was on the plane and I saw like people

423
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 5: that could skydive themselves, just like jumping off, and I

424
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 5: was like, wow, this is real and we're like thirteen

425
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 5: thousand feet up and that anxiety is just like setting up,

426
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 5: like what am I doing? But the guy kept pushing

427
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 5: me for kept pushing me. For my manager. I was

428
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 5: like screaming, Oh, I don't want to go. I don't

429
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 5: want to go. You said like, okay, in this already.

430
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 5: And I jumped and then I looked up and I

431
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 5: saw the playing flight over me. And I looked and

432
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 5: I couldn't see the ground. I was like in my

433
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 5: at that point, like why did I do this?

434
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: Yes?

435
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 5: But but when you actually land, it's only the best

436
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 5: feelings ever when you land safely, when it's over, When

437
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 5: it's over, like you be so you.

438
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 4: Feel so free, like so you want to do it again?

439
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: Definitely? I know. I know I might.

440
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 5: I might get I have anxiety given like when I'm

441
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 5: when I'm about to jump on and I'll be fine,

442
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 5: I'll jump still, I don't.

443
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: Know you, I'm gonna say, I know, thank you.

444
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: How do the how do the sugar mamas feel about that?

445
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: I'm not jumping out of a plane now? So what

446
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: are some more of the goals for Joe Boy too?

447
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: Just because now you have this amazing album that's been out,

448
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: your sophomore album. You're still young in the game though,

449
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: but still you know, growing as an artist. So when

450
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: you look to the future, since I know you're able

451
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: to see that that's your special power, what are some

452
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: things that you see?

453
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so i'd see.

454
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 5: One thing I've learned or I've realized that is like

455
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 5: the beauties in the journey, No, really the destination. Like

456
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 5: I've come to realize that, like the fact that just

457
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 5: like showing up every day and trying to be a

458
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 5: better version of myself, and it's going to give me

459
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 5: to where I need to be.

460
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: It's going to get me to like my is form.

461
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 5: So all I need to do is focus on embodying

462
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 5: davision on the app for myself, right Yeah, because people

463
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 5: will be like, oh, I want to do this, I

464
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 5: want to do this, I want to be like this, Well,

Speaker 5: I focus on putting in the work and just like

467
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 5: improving and whatever I am doing at that point in time.

468
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 5: And I know, I know now we want of the

469
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 5: biggest artists in the world need to put in the work.

470
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: And saying that, you're very close to your mom. How

471
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: does she feel when she realized you wanted to be

472
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: an artist?

473
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 5: She was like, oh when did she realized? Okay, she said,

474
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 5: my parents told me that just make sure you finish university. Okay,

475
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 5: that's You're like, okay, you can do it, but make

476
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 5: sure you finish university. And I feel like the reason why,

477
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: like most like parents or African parents are not really

478
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 5: or we're not naturally being support of like their children

479
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 5: chasing a particular path or carryer paths. When it came

480
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 5: to like creatives or music was when they were younger creatives,

481
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 5: they really used to make a lot of money there

482
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 5: they're not really seem to be successful, like there was

483
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: like a stigma ole Okay, maybe this guys are no

484
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 5: smart that they're trying to make music and stuff like that.

485
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 5: So I understand that. But growing up or later on,

486
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 5: like shout out people like Whiskey. Whiskey was really young

487
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 5: and he blew up, and I think that's really really

488
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 5: helped support their the idea of parents like supporting their

489
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 5: kids and chasing their creative part. So my mom, she

490
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 5: was like, okay, let's make sure you finished school. Did

491
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 5: you go to school for my resources personal Management?

492
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: All right?

493
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: That helps?

494
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

495
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 5: And the only I choose that course was because I

496
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: don't like mass. I don't like my so they're like, oh, okay,

497
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 5: there's no master, and I decided to just go for it.

498
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: I wasn't really really excited about like the course of studying.

499
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 5: I didn't know what I want that point that I

500
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 5: could sing, and I just kept pushing forward. And thankfully

501
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 5: life pushed me in the right direction.

502
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: Right, and you pushed you in the right direction, not

503
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: just life, because it does take it. It does take a

504
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 2: lot of hard work and sacrifice.

505
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, definitely you have to be willing to put

506
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 5: in the work because from afar it could seem like

507
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 5: it's just like litz and glamor and it's fun, but

508
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 5: it takes a lot of work.

509
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

510
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: What would you say is the hardest part of the

511
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: space that you're in right now?

512
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: Hm?

513
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 5: The artist part, I'd say just I won't even say art,

514
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 5: but I'd say, like one of the most important parts

515
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 5: is just like believing in your own believing in yourself

516
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 5: self confidence, Like that's really important. And have any visions

517
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 5: for yourself, like what do you want or not what

518
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 5: like what do you feel people should or how do

519
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: you feel people should like see you? Like what do

520
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 5: you want people to see you for? I think it

521
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 5: allows not to what artist wants for himself, and that's

522
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 5: just it. So it's really really important that you just

523
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: focus on what you want.

524
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I love that. I feel like we

525
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: learned a lot about you just in your spare time.

526
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: I see that you're a very exciting person outside of it.

527
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

528
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 5: I also love to read books a lot. Okay, Yeah,

529
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 5: I love to read a look like it just really

530
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 5: helped me. Yeah, it's really helped me.

531
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 2: What type of books are they? Like do you read

532
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: autobiographies or do you read like books?

533
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 5: So one thing I really love to read these like

534
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 5: autobiographies of like like really too like famous people, people

535
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: that were really really geniuses in your own like feuds.

536
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 5: So it doesn't really have to be about entertainment. I

537
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 5: just let's to check out your stories and inspires me.

538
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: I like to read autobiographies on people you don't. I

539
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: don't even have to know who you are if you

540
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 2: have an interesting story. To me, real life is always

541
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: more interesting than like made up things because we have

542
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: a crazy things going on in this world every day.

543
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's smart. What do you watch on television too?

544
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: I don't watch TV.

545
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: You don't watch TV at all? I don't want so

546
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: you don't have any aspirations to maybe do uh maybe

547
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: act or anything like that.

548
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 3: I've definitely started acting.

549
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 5: So in my videos, like my pastive videos, I really

550
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 5: really like focused on like being more goofy, and I

551
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 5: was really like taking on characters. I find it fun, yes,

552
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: to be honest, So I think acting is definitely something

553
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 5: I would van trade too at some points.

554
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 4: Okay, you might have to watch some stuff.

555
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might have to watch it.

556
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I try to watch I try to watch

557
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 5: movies on that. You know, you don't need TV to

558
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 5: watch movies anymore TV.

559
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:12,680
