Speaker 6: baduism on the on the counter, like like like it

54
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,480

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 6: the way.

56
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: That album cover.

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 5: Yeah you know what I mean.

58
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 6: Like yeah, so like you know, but I grew up

59
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 6: on hip hop, you know what I mean. And that

60
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 6: was my first love. And R and B, man, is

61
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 6: just like it was something that was just really driven

62
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 6: in the household, you know what I mean, And it

63
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 6: was always being played from like the stuff in the

64
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: seventies to you know, the nineties when I grew up.

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 6: And then once I started to see what was sort

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 6: of lacking in the live space in R and B,

67
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: I felt like I was graciously let in by the fans,

68
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, And like I just like

69
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 6: really don't take that for granted, you know what I mean?

70
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 6: And I try to try to really provide an experience

71
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 6: and value to the R and B community.

72
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 4: So what do you like to be called? Ye in

73
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: this whole thing?

74
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Right?

75
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: Because you know, everybody's okay, well I'm a this or

76
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: I'm a what you do multiple things? Yeah, yeah, you're

77
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: doing well.

78
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 7: Appreciate it really well for yourself, you know what I'm saying.

79
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 7: So that's I like to you know, like to ask, like,

80
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 7: like what do you see yourself?

81
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: Ask?

82
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 5: That's a great question. Man.

83
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 6: I don't really get caught up in like labels and stuff,

84
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 6: but I think ultimately a creator, you know what I mean. Like,

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 6: just like because on the one hand, I am a founder,

86
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 6: you know, I am the CEO of my company. But

87
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 6: it's not just limited to that. I don't just sit

88
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 6: in a business hat all the time. You know, a

89
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 6: lot of stuff I do is creative, you know. I

90
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 6: executive produce series. You know, I'm literally like making records

91
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 6: right now with artists, you know, like I'm uh directing

92
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 6: videos sometimes, you know what I mean. But at the

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 6: same time, like I'm also balancing budgets, you know what

94
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 6: I mean. I'm also like, uh, you know, making sure

95
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 6: that payroll is clear and running. I'm also you know,

96
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 6: you know, making sure that everyone's four one K is

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 6: set up, that our employees in the company, you know.

98
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 5: So it's like it's just like creative hat, but as.

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 6: Well, I'm I'm a I'm a real business owner, you know,

100
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 6: and I really do this business thing for real. So

101
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 6: I just think like the word that can encapsulate all

102
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 6: of that is creator.

103
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Mm hm. Why R and B?

104
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: Though, if you were raised so hip hop, yeah that

105
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: was your first thing, like your first mind?

106
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, why R and B?

107
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 6: I think it's really one word. I think the genre

108
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 6: overall in the live space was underserved, and I think

109
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 6: that for years and years and years, people's view of

110
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 6: an R and B show was an artist on stage

111
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 6: with a microphone and maybe, if they were lucky.

112
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 5: A band behind them.

113
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 6: I don't think people before we came into the game,

114
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 6: I don't think people could conceptualize a show involving a DJ.

115
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 6: I think that they always thought that that was a party,

116
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. If I'm going to a party,

117
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 6: it's a DJ there. And when I started going to

118
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 6: you know, electronic music shows, I started seeing like incredible

119
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 6: hip hop DJs alongside artists, like opening up for an artist,

120
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, but having their own flow

121
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 6: and their own show. I said, Man, this isn't really

122
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 6: happening like this in the R and B space, you know,

123
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 6: Like like I said, it is just really filled with

124
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 6: a bunch of incredible artists doing their thing. But I

125
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 6: wanted to provide something where I thought people could have

126
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 6: that same experience of a concert but sort of have

127
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: it be a hybrid of a party. But I just

128
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 6: really wanted to make people pay attention to what was

129
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 6: going on on stage, but just from a DJ perspective,

130
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 6: like telling stories through music, and that's what I thought

131
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 6: was missing, And that's that's how R and B on.

132
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: It was really birthed and with this idea, with this thought,

133
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: what is your first move?

134
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 6: WHOA so well, really, I was doing hip hop parties

135
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 6: at first, and at the end of those parties I

136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 6: would play R and B exactly and I would well,

137
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 6: I was hosting. I would always hire DJ. I never

138
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 6: was a DJ myself, but I would always hire DJs

139
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 6: and I would host the events. And I turned the

140
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 6: fader down one day, and sometimes the DJs would hate

141
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 6: this because I would like grab their yeah, yeah, I

142
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 6: would grab the fader from there right, turn it down,

143
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 6: and and so I would. I did that, and I

144
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 6: was like, if I did an R and B only event,

145
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 6: would you guys come? And I had noticed at some

146
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 6: point like we would play R and B in the

147
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 6: last hour and a half. But as these parties were

148
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 6: kept progressing, all of the women would really come. Like

149
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: for the R and B sets, they would be like, oh,

150
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 6: I know they're about to do R and B, Like

151
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 6: at the end, I don't want to be there. When

152
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 6: at the time, you know, this is like little UZI vert,

153
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 6: you know, asap ferg, Like this is like the era

154
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 6: of turn up hip hop, you know.

155
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 5: What I mean?

156
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 6: And the girls were just coming at a certain time

157
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 6: and they were just like enjoying it so much, and

158
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 6: the entire room just like erupted when I asked them

159
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 6: if they if they would come to something that was

160
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 6: on and be only. And so the first move was

161
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 6: just like, all right, book a small venue. And so

162
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 6: I booked a venue down the street from where I

163
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 6: was doing it. I was I was having my events

164
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 6: in La at this place called a Dragonfly on Santa

165
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 6: Monica Boulevard. And then we booked a really small venue

166
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 6: off Sunset. Maybe it held to like maybe about one

167
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty two hundred people.

168
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 5: It wasn't even really like a venue. It was kind

169
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: of like a bar.

170
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: Hold on, let's get this because I want to get

171
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: because you're not You're just You're not just a creator. Yep,

172
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: you're a businessman.

173
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 5: Yep.

174
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: How do you book this venue? Do you do a

175
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: deal with the venue in terms of the door. Do

176
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: you say, hey, let me buy out your venue?

177
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: Yeah for the night? Like, how did you do that?

178
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 6: Ever since I started, I was always I it was

179
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 6: always important to me to have as much control as

180
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 6: I possibly could have. So I always and to this day,

181
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 6: we still only do rental deals. So I would say, hey,

182
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 6: I'll at the venue and maybe there's a fixed fee,

183
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 6: but maybe that you know, fee can go down if

184
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 6: we have some sort of bar participation. So like let's

185
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 6: say at this time, maybe the venue cost about like

186
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 6: twenty five hundred or something to rent, but if we

187
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 6: did x amount at the bar, that twenty five hundred

188
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 6: might go to like fifteen hundred. And then if we

189
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 6: did more at the bar, that fifteen hundred could go

190
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 6: to five hundred, and if we hit the highest tier, it.

191
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: Would be a free, free venue rental. Yeah.

192
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 6: So that was like how I started all of my deals.

193
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 6: And you know, it's evolved a lot now as we're

194
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 6: in like much larger capacities, but the spirit is still there.

195
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: You're betting on you're betting early people.

196
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yes, you're hedging a real bad yeah.

197
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

198
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 6: And there and there's a there's a lot of skin

199
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 6: in the game, and there's a lot that can be

200
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 6: lost when you do that because it could rain and

201
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 6: nobody could show up. Yeah, and now you you you've

202
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 6: already paid that fifty percent deposit to the venue and

203
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 6: they don't care if it rains or not.

204
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: They had the staff.

205
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

206
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, so yeah, you could, you could, uh and I

207
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 6: have many times you could.

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 8: Uh.

209
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: You could lose your shirt on some of these deals.

210
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, when you take

211
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 6: the most risk, naturally, when it works, you're going to

212
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: be able to have the most reward.

213
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: So your first your first one, yeah is Dragonfly is correct?

214
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 6: Well, well it wasn't Dragonfly, it was it was another

215
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 6: venue that I don't even down down the street. It

216
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 6: was I believe it was called the Lost Palmas or

217
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 6: something we recently. Yeah, it was all off of Lost Yeah. Yeah,

218
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 6: so it was there and that one cracked. Yeah, for sure,

219
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 6: for sure. Honestly, it was just under the amount of

220
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 6: people that were at the hip hop shows. And so

221
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 6: I was like, you know, but the thing is like

222
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 6: the hip hop the room was and the hip hop

223
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 6: stuff was ticketed. This one I made a free rs VP,

224
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 6: but it was free rs VP before a certain time.

225
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 6: It was like free rs VP, free rs VP before

226
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 6: nine thirty because I knew if I incentivized people to

227
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 6: get there early like that would that was that was

228
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 6: the payment for me. It was like, you don't have

229
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 6: to give me any money to come to this show.

230
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 6: But if you get here early. That's more time you

231
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 6: drinking at the bar, you know what I mean, that's

232
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 6: that's more time that that people. You know a lot

233
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 6: of times, especially in LA people want to get to

234
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 6: some place where it's already popping at They don't want

235
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 6: to be there.

236
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: They don't want to be the first people in the building.

237
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly right, And so like they didn't mind getting there.

238
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 6: Now everybody got there at about nine to twenty five,

239
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 6: you know, and then the line is wrapped around the corner,

240
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 6: it looks and you know, so now it's like okay, cool,

241
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 6: once we got everybody in, and it goes from like

242
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 6: nine thirty until you know, two am. I just noticed that, like, wow,

243
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 6: this music, it has the key ingredients to storytell through

244
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 6: music throughout the night, right, and and those those ingredients

245
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 6: are it has to have a past president in the future, right,

246
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 6: So like there's an old school that people really want

247
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 6: to hear, but there's also a current like at the

248
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 6: at the at the current time, this is what the

249
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 6: music sounds like. And then there's like this up and

250
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 6: coming you know what I mean of the genre and

251
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 6: where it's going. And as long as we have that,

252
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 6: we can curate the music in a way where we

253
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 6: can take people on the journey, you know. And I

254
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 6: started all those wheels started turning in my head on

255
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 6: the first show.

256
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 4: So you were curating the DJ's playlist.

257
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely. I wouldn't just tell a DJ,

258
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 6: hey spin an R and B set, you know what

259
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 6: I mean? And that that's not even how it works

260
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 6: to this day. You know, like we really sit with music,

261
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 6: you know, I work with the music director and we

262
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 6: curate everything, and then there's a lot of like, you know,

263
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 6: we have moments in the show where we might we

264
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 6: might get the crowd interactive, and so we'll put you know,

265
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 6: actually we're doing it with one of your songs. In

266
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 6: this season, we have a we have a moment that

267
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 6: progresses from like baby making music or I think it's

268
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 6: love making music, baby making music, and then freak nasty music.

269
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 6: And we put a screen up and we have like

270
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 6: three options for each category and we get the crowd involved,

271
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 6: the nextra crowd to choose which songs they want to hear,

272
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 6: right yeah, And I think on freak Nasty that's when

273
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 6: one of the three options is when we and I

274
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 6: can't tell you how many times that song wins. Yeah,

275
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 6: And I always show you out when whenever, whenever, if

276
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 6: I'm on stage, if I'm hosting none of these shows,

277
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 6: I always say it's time to play big bro tanks joints.

278
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 6: It goes absolutely crazy nasty.

279
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's under.

280
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: Freaking appreciate you putting me in the right category.

281
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 5: You got stuff that can fit in every category.

282
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: But like I know, I get back make room for everybody.

283
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: Like the variety is what makes it dope. That's I

284
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: love that. What is like even when you're when you're

285
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: now when you're picking DJs, are you or were you

286
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: at that time? You know, did you have a database

287
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: of of of of DJs that you knew were well

288
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: versed in the R and B space or was it

289
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: something that you have to like now teach and and

290
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: and kind of curated you say, the playlist and all

291
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: of these things so that you can have now your

292
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: stable of DJs that understand your format.

293
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 6: No, No, it was definitely like I was rocking with

294
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 6: the people that I had known, and it was it

295
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 6: was a very different thing back then because at that

296
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 6: time it was really only males DJing at R and

297
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 6: B only shows. Now we're known for and it has

298
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 6: evolved into like, we only have women DJ at our

299
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 6: shows and very intentionally.

300
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: No, we did Chicago. It was a young lady, Yeah,

301
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 4: san Diego.

302
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 6: Da big shout out to Dasa. She was actually the

303
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 6: first women DJ that started working with me and it's

304
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 6: still rocking on.

305
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 5: The team to this day. Yeah yeah, So, but.

306
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 6: You know, like the way it started was it was

307
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 6: it was male DJs who were primarily known in the

308
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 6: hip hop space, but they had this R and B

309
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 6: knowledge and I will work with them.

310
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 5: To curate the sets.

311
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 6: But I started to realize as time went on, seventy

312
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 6: percent Because I'm a data guy. I'm a nerd, right,

313
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 6: so I'm always like I was making people select what

314
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 6: gender they are when they got a ticket, Like that

315
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 6: was something that I was doing super early so I

316
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 6: could get the data on what does the audience look

317
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 6: like and analytics, right, and I started to see like

318
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 6: seventy percent of the audience was women. So if seventy

319
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 6: percent of the audience as women, but it's a male

320
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 6: host and a male DJ up here, you know, we're

321
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 6: giving you guys what our perspective is, but really we

322
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 6: should be given what y'all's perspective is you know what

323
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 6: I mean? And so and then I really wanted women

324
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 6: to feel seen, like I wanted them to look on

325
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 6: the stages that we were on and see themselves there.

326
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 6: You know, And to this day, I don't think you

327
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 6: really see that many women DJs, you know, in front

328
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 6: of the size crowds that we're in front of, right,

329
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 6: and so you know that when you're coming to an

330
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 6: R and B only show, now, it's only going to

331
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 6: be women DJs because they're they're serving a crowd full

332
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 6: of women.

333
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: So you only have women DJs.

334
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 6: Now, Yeah, that's it. And that's been going on for

335
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 6: the past seven years. Yeah, I say, you find you women. Yeah,

336
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: and I got to give a big shout out to

337
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 6: all of them. But uh so we got Dasha, we

338
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 6: got Tierra Monique, we've got Magic, we've got Gap soul

339
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 6: h We've got Savage, and we've got dj Ashby. So

340
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 6: big shout out to all the women of R.

341
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: And B on I think I'm a steal savage.

342
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 6: Savage, savages, savages.

343
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 5: She gets the crowd going. Yeah.

344
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 3: When you when you're when you're going through the progressions

345
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 3: and of course you're doing these analytics and and figuring

346
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: out now attendance and all of these things. What are

347
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: the things that give you the indicators that Okay, now

348
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: it's time to move this from this club to now

349
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: this club. Now we can't even do clubs. Now we're

350
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 3: in palladiums and now we're in like you know, what

351
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: are the indicators that give you that?

352
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

353
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 6: So I think it's two things. The velocity in which

354
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 6: tickets sell when you drop them, right, So, like in

355
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 6: our industry, you guys know this, you have an announce

356
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 6: in an on sale. So an announce for those that

357
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 6: don't know, is when you announce a show or a tour,

358
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 6: that's just like essentially just like putting it out to

359
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 6: the public. Right then you have the date that the

360
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 6: tickets actually go on sale. And sometimes that could be

361
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 6: the next day, it could be two days later, it

362
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 6: could be two weeks later. But when you go on sale,

363
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 6: that really determines the interest of the people, you know

364
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 6: what I mean, Because like sometimes you have a situation

365
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 6: where you blow through the tickets and you sell you know,

366
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 6: the whole show out, or sometimes you might sell ten

367
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 6: percent of the venue, you know what I mean, And

368
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 6: you're like, WHOA, So I think the first thing we

369
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 6: look at is the velocity and the speed in which

370
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: tickets go on sale and how fast they sell. I

371
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 6: think the second thing, though, is sometimes you have markets

372
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 6: that are just you know, people people just.

373
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 5: By late, you know what I mean.

374
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 6: People, Yeah, people walk up, yeah yeah, people just like

375
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 6: you'd be surprised that how many tickets get sold in

376
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 6: the last forty eight hours. We would, And sometimes you know,

377
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 6: you're sweating, you're you're, you're, you are really wondering like

378
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 6: is this going to work? And then the last forty

379
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: eight hour hits and you know, it just just ticks up.

380
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: And so.

381
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 6: Ultimately between the on sale and the actual you know,

382
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 6: like the fully you know, after the show is completely done,

383
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 6: you have the data on like what has been done.

384
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 6: And typically if we're if we're selling out quick, then

385
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 6: we know that we need to move into a bigger room.

386
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, But if it's taking a little bit of time,

387
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 6: then we'll probably double back. We'll come back to that venue,

388
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 6: will know this is the right size that we need

389
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 6: to be in, you know, and then we'll just we'll

390
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 6: just assess it on the next run.

391
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 7: Like I know Tank is here, I know he's here,

392
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 7: right but what's the biggest record in R and B only?

393
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, it's so it's so many.

394
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 6: It's so many because you know, now we're in our

395
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 6: tenth year and we've thank you so much.

396
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: Spin. It's been incredible, incredible journey.

397
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 6: But I've seen I've seen I've seen records go like this,

398
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 6: and I've seen records go like that, right, I've seen.

399
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 6: But it's it always it always boils down to the classics.

400
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 6: And I can't I can't give like one political right now,

401
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 6: but one record see you, I think I think I've

402
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 6: I would have to, I would have to say something

403
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 6: along the lines of like like Fantasia when I see

404
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 6: you usher Superstar the way the way people just want

405
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 6: to sing that. Yeah, of course, you know.

406
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 5: Chris Brown say goodbye. You know, that's a that's a

407
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 5: that's one that is to be.

408
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 6: Surprised at, like the whole rooms, you know, just like

409
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 6: go crazy, Tevin Cable, can we talk? Is just like

410
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 6: we don't even really play that record anymore, just because

411
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 6: like you can hear it everywhere. Anybody that does R

412
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 6: and B anything is gonna you know, that's a that's

413
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 6: a go to. But it's still is what it does. Man,

414
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 6: those are the those are the ones like that. I

415
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 6: would say, I'm going down still yeah.

416
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, s w V. I'm going oh no no

418
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 5: V one though? No, no, no week week that's the way.

419
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 6: Love love, Yes, but I still that that one kind

420
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 6: of is in the same vein as the the Tevin

421
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 6: Campbell Like it's like it's like, yeah, just kind of

422
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 6: like played.

423
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 5: Out classics, but but but classic.

424
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 7: As you're curating these playlists and these shows, because yours

425
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 7: the shows, yours parties, and within a show, there is

426
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 7: a set list, absolutely right, So how do you how

427
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 7: do you say, like, maybe we don't play this huge

428
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 7: record because other people are playing it.

429
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have to do that all because the.

430
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 7: People want to hear those records though, Bro, yeah yeah,

431
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 7: but I think I come and.

432
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 4: I don't hear love. I'm gonna have some hate for somebody.

433
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 6: That and tell you that, and it happens, and that happens,

434
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 6: and we catch and we catch a lot of hate.

435
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 6: Because it's impossible to please everybody. We cannot play every

436
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 6: because here's another problem with that, right, if we play

437
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 6: that every season, then why are you gonna come back again?

438
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

439
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 6: Now, what happens is it's only a small portion of

440
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 6: the show, but some of those records get weaved in

441
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 6: and out for each season, right We we we look

442
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 6: at the playlist and the set list for a particular season,

443
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 6: and then we have to say.

444
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: It's like a tour. It's like your set list for

445
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: for this tour.

446
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, going to run. Absolutely.

447
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, we kind of have like those classics, there's gonna

448
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 6: be like three or four of them because we're playing

449
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 6: about one hundred twenty two, one hundred and fifty songs

450
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 6: every show, you know, because remember we're not staying in

451
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 6: songs for all three verses, right like sometimes we get

452
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 6: in and out. Yeah, but yeah, so you're you're there's

453
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 6: I will say, if you experience the show, it's definitely

454
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 6: something for everybody. And we and at the same time

455
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 6: with those classics, you know a lot of times there's

456
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 6: there's new classics, you know what I mean, Like and

457
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 6: there's stuff that people really want to hear that might

458
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: not be twenty to thirty years old, but it might

459
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 6: be ten years old, you know what I mean. And

460
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 6: it's like it's one of those new classics that people

461
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 6: are like, damn, you know what I mean, Like Bryson

Speaker 6: Tiller Exchange, you know what I mean, Like that's that's

463
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 6: very much up there with some of those older classics

464
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 6: to a newer generation though.

465
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, absolutely, but you better play Frankie Beverley.

466
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, Frankie Beverly, so before I let go.

468
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,080

Speaker 3: growing in business like this not a you ain't just

Speaker 1: You're cooking for ten years.

475
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: Right, And as you approach this ten year anniversary anniversary,

476
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: what would the ten year guy say to the first

477
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 3: or second year guy like you wish you would have

478
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: known in that time. I mean, it was good to

479
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: get the lesson, but had you had that one or

480
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 3: two pieces of information.

481
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 5: That's such a good question.

482
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 4: Thank damn, if you'd have had an R and B

483
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 4: money podcast.

484
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 6: Honestly, I think it's gonna have to be a lesson

485
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 6: that I've learned over the recent years, and it's when

486
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 6: you have to have hard conversations, run to them and

487
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 6: have them quick, right. And that can be with employees,

488
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 6: that can be with partners in business, that can be

489
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 6: with you know, artists and managers.

490
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 5: You know what.

491
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 6: I've been in situations where like I've said, I had

492
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 6: this money for somebody to pop up, and then like

493
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 6: something happened in the business and I didn't have the

494
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 6: money anymore, and I have to just make that phone

495
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 6: call and be like, I don't got it on this round,

496
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 6: I don't have.

497
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: It right now.

498
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 6: And I know I said I was gonna you know

499
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 6: what I mean, and I wanted to make it happen.

500
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 6: But I rather my I rather my integrity be intact

501
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 6: with you. I'd rather be like, stand up and I'd rather,

502
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 6: you know, double back on it later. And so but

503
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 6: it's hard, you know what I mean, you have to have.

504
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 6: But the thing about hard conversations is that you're never

505
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 6: gonna have to stop them, you know, so you might

506
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 6: as well just run towards them, have them when you

507
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 6: need to have them, and iron it out. Because what

508
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 6: I found in my earlier years when I would put

509
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 6: stuff off and when I'd have to wait to have

510
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 6: hard conversations, like things would get blown way out of proportion,

511
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

512
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: And I was miss missed so much misunderstanding that can

513
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: happen without having the.

514
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,239
Speaker 7: Actual yes, and that's time progressive, yes, yeah, because then

515
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 7: you put people in position where they can't adjust boom,

516
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 7: and then and then it starts to feel like, oh

517
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 7: you just fucking yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.

518
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 7: You played me this whole time, So then it's like, okay,

519
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 7: so when did you realize that you have all my money?

520
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: Yes?

521
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, you know what I mean.

522
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 7: Because and in business altogether, especially in promotions, right, I

523
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 7: think there's a stigma that comes along with it from

524
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 7: the beginning that you have to work against. Oh the

525
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 7: first thing people say, JANKI promoter. They made the movie

526
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 7: about it, you know what I'm saying. But it is

527
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 7: the first thing, because it's been so much bad promotion

528
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 7: and bad business done from people since the beginning of

529
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 7: the time that you know, for a young man like

530
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 7: yourself getting into this game, you had to be mindful

531
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 7: of that.

532
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

533
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 6: And the thing is I didn't even know right, like,

534
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 6: because I don't to this day, I don't really look

535
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 6: at myself as.

536
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 5: A promoter, you know what I mean, Like you're definitely

537
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 5: a promoter too. Oh it's an element, yeah, yeah, no

538
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 5: doubt about it. Yeah.

539
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 6: But I come from the content creation world, you know

540
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 6: what I mean. Like I come from like making YouTube videos,

541
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 6: interviewing artists, like making media and so in that world, true,

542
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 6: I was always like marketing stuff and promoting stuff, and

543
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 6: you know, but then it's like promoting shows and when

544
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 6: there's money involved, you know, there's a lot of people

545
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 6: on every front that were like who is this guy?

546
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 6: You know what I mean, Like, because it's the venues

547
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 6: that are like, we've been screwed over before. It's the

548
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 6: fans like oh when you imagine, Like it's easy to

549
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 6: talk about all the stuff right now, but imagine when

550
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 6: you start in the show and there's no talent involved,

551
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 6: traditional talent involved, right and you don't have a huge

552
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 6: Instagram following, and all you have is an idea or

553
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 6: a few pictures from the last event. You have to

554
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 6: like use the few pictures that you got from the

555
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 6: last event and videos to like promote the next event

556
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 6: and keep going. And when people hit an Instagram page

557
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 6: that they've never seen before, and they're like, oh, R

558
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 6: and B on the show happened in there, and they're like,

559
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 6: I don't know, this looks like a scam. I mean

560
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 6: people still say that to this day about our shows that.

561
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 5: Have never been before.

562
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 6: I mean, and we have all this media, we have

563
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 6: all these testimonials, we have everything to prove that it

564
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 6: is a legitimate business and real but people have been

565
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 6: screwed over so much by Jankie promoters that you know,

566
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 6: if it's new to somebody, people just automatically go to like,

567
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 6: I don't know if I'm gonna spend my money with that.

568
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 6: And then and then when we had COVID, oh my gosh,

569
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 6: that just made everything crazy because.

570
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 4: Everybody was scamming.

571
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 6: I mean people, people, people were putting putting tickets on sale,

572
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 6: and then they were not you know, the shows weren't happening.

573
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 6: They were being like, it's postponed indefinitely, you know what

574
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 6: I mean.

575
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just right. Those two don't even go together.

576
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 5: So there was a lot that we had to overcome.

577
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 4: For sure, absolutely.

578
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 7: And what I'll say, Bro, is we've done business with you,

579
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 7: and I'll put that out there.

580
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 4: You are a great business man.

581
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 7: Think when you handle your business and you take care

582
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 7: of people the same way when you when you present

583
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 7: it to them, it's the same way when they get

584
00:31:59,200 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 7: there and what.

585
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 4: Comes from it.

586
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's super important.

587
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 4: We were never on the other side.

588
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 5: Of the hey guys, luckily, and it's.

589
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: Like, you know, you know, attitude reflect leadership, right, and

590
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: so yes, you are. You are a great reflection of

591
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: even the people you surrounded, your staff and everybody, like

592
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: everybody around it's a pleasant, pleasant, cordial and professional like

593
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: it's I'm very blessed. Yeah, man, super cool. Love it's crazy.

594
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 5: Man.

595
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: So you you did a very very amazing job with

596
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 3: that part of it, because that's hard to maintain.

597
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 5: Extremely extremely man. Yeah, I think.

598
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: There's always like somebody that wants to be an asshole

599
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: because they want to be you show.

600
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't care who you are, you're getting it.

601
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 5: So if I called your bar, yeah, because we'll call it.

602
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 6: I think I think that comes from, you know, just

603
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 6: having people who their their goal is to like change

604
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 6: the game and do something different. It's not to be

605
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 6: next to the celebrity, you know what I mean. It's

606
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 6: not necessarily to just like be on and be seen

607
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 6: It's like I've been able to curate like such an

608
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 6: amazing staff because all of them they were like they

609
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 6: were just hungry. At one point, like literally we got

610
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 6: ten full time employees and about another forty contractors that

611
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 6: work with us, and so but every all of the

612
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 6: full time employees started as like an independent contractor. They

613
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 6: were just like, hey, I'm available. They I'll do whatever,

614
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 6: I'll do this at a show, I'll do this.

615
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 5: And they didn't.

616
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 6: They didn't like get their jobs from like applying on

617
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 6: the website. They got their jobs from like doing what

618
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 6: was necessary and showing what they could do. And then

619
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 6: that evolved and you know, got them their full time position.

620
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Fire.

621
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 3: Another question, as we spoke on earlier that equipment and ship,

622
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah is yours?

623
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 5: Yes?

624
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: When do you say renting this ship is not adding up?

625
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah?

626
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: When does that? When does that hit you in the face?

627
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 5: So it was probably year.

628
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 6: Three or four when I was just you know, I

629
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 6: mean we didn't always have led screens, right, So like, man,

630
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 6: I remember days where we were walking around going from

631
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 6: city to city in a sprinter van with projectors and

632
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 6: fast fold projection uh screens there, you know, and uh

633
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 6: and you know having to make sure that the that

634
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 6: the that the amount of lumins on the projector were

635
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 6: bright enough so that people could see it, right, see your.

636
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 5: Visuals on the screen.

637
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 6: And I'm downloading, by the way, visuals right like I'm

638
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 6: downloading stuff from YouTube, putting them on a broke ass laptop,

639
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, having somebody else run it

640
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 6: while I'm on stage, right and like and that that

641
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 6: was that was.

642
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 5: Our visuals here, right for sure.

643
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 6: And so but at a certain point when I wanted

644
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 6: to elevate up and I said, oh, we need LED.

645
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 5: This is the future of all live shows, Like.

646
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 6: You know, the LED is gonna be what really keeps

647
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 6: people's eyes locked in, you know, because a DJ is djaying,

648
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 6: but you know, they can only they can only be

649
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 6: so entertaining and still have to be a technician, you

650
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So you need some other sort

651
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 6: of visual to keep people's attention. And so I started

652
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 6: renting the LED, and you know, man, it was so expensive,

653
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 6: and I was just like, you know, I have I

654
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 6: have a really funny story about this, but uh not funny.

655
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 5: It was just crazy.

658
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 5: then at the time.

724
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,400

725
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 6: how I started to know, oh, you have to own

726
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 6: this stuff. And I had cut the middleman out and

727
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 6: I did a deal. I think I might have the

728
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 6: first LED. I mean I've been back there so many

729
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 6: times now and I have the direct relationship with them

730
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 6: now with various companies, but at this time, I probably

731
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 6: spent like maybe maybe about like eighty to one hundred

732
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 6: on the on my first screen, and I, you know,

733
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,919

734
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,200

Speaker 6: It went to the to like a shipping place by

736
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 6: LAX And I didn't even know that these things came

737
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 6: in like road case.

738
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I didn't know anything, you know.

739
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 6: I was just like I had to wait there and

740
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 6: I had to wait for the parcel to clear customs.

741
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 6: I didn't even know that, like you had to have

742
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 6: a customs broker and all this type of stuff.

743
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,000

745
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 9: literally because I had to wait, I had to go

746
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 9: and I had to go figure out a broker.

747
00:40:59,040 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 5: I had to come back.

748
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 6: Man, I didn't even have a way to transport this stuff, right,

749
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,879

00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 6: we had to go to Hurts by l a X

753
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 6: and we had to take out the seats of a

754
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 6: cargo van and put like road cases in it and

755

764
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,600

00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 5: Let us in and.

783
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 6: I'm like, yo, the show is like two and a

784
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 6: half hours late, and I'm like, man, are we gonna

785
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 6: have this show with the screen hanging like this? And

786
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 6: we just didn't know how to work anything. And I

787
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 6: just said, fuck it, let them in. And so we

788
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 6: let these people in. Man, the screen is like this,

789
00:42:55,120 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 6: like it's just madness. But the silver lining was when

790
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 6: I was looking at those expense sheets, you know, and

791
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 6: I was looking at the settlements after the shows, that

792
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 6: line item of LED rental was not.

793
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 5: On there anymore, you know what I mean.

794
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 6: And it's like now that I was using my own gear,

795
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 6: the margins were just growing, you know what I mean.

796
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 6: And I was like, Okay, this is going to make

797
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 6: itself back in you know, twenty shows and then boom,

798
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 6: That's what happened. And then I started to invest more

799
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 6: and more and more, and you know, now we have

800
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 6: a warehouse in Nashville, Tennessee. We have a fleet of

801
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 6: three trucks so we do our own logistics drivers. We

802
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 6: have multiple LED screens, we have multiple special effects lighting, cryo,

803
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 6: you know, confetti. I have another order coming from China

00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 5: Just won't please please please you have it.

1019
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 6: Oh man, you're here, tell us your okay, my iron

1020
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 6: saying names is uh all right. So we were we

1021
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 6: were getting into producing our own festivals, and so we

1022
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 6: had a really big show in Atlanta and this is

1023
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 6: our i think, our second time doing this, but it

1024
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 6: was just like a way bigger production, so you know,

1025
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 6: a list talent.

1026
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 5: This wasn't surprise guests.

1027
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 6: These were like announced the names, you know, household household names.

1028
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 6: And first off, the show was just running super late.

1029
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 5: We had a.

1030
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 6: We didn't have the best production team, and I don't

1031
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 6: even want to blame them, like I take full responsibility

1032
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 6: because like at the end of the day, it was

1033
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 6: me who hired them, you know, And so things weren't

1034
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 6: things weren't going on schedule. You know, when this happens,

1035
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 6: like when the doors get pushed and then the first

1036
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 6: act gets pushed, and then our DJs start getting pushed,

1037
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 6: and then it's just a snowball effect. Right, So we

1038
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 6: start getting into like really later in the night, and

1039
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 6: I'm having to basically cut all of our DJ sets, right, so,

1040
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 6: like again we're known for that, and so now we

1041
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 6: added all these artists, but I'm having to accommodate to

1042
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 6: the artist needs and everything that they need. And you know,

1043
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 6: I'm having to say, like, well, either it's my team

1044
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,479
Speaker 6: that's not going to perform, or some of these artists

1045
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 6: are not going to perform, and like I don't want that,

1046
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 6: Like my team is able to perform the next show

1047
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 6: and the next show and the next show.

1048
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 5: And so we had a.

1049
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 6: People can figure this out, but I'm still not going

1050
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 6: to say their name, but we had a co headlining situation. Right,

1051
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 6: So it's two artists at the end of the at

1052
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 6: the show, and I'll never forget we got to the

1053
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 6: to the we were way past curfew and at this

1054
00:59:53,960 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 6: point it's one thousand dollars per minute minute that you're.

1055
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 5: Over curfewt oh yeah.

1056
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 6: And I'm just like, you know, first of all, I

1057
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 6: already lost money on the show, like before the curfew, right,

1058
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 6: so I'm in the red on this show. And this

1059
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 6: artist is just like they're an artist, and they want

1060
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 6: they this ain't their fault, you know what I mean, Like,

1061
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 6: there's your fault. So they don't want to, you know,

1062
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 6: diminish their performance or their brand because you're going over

1063
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 6: you know, and they're gonna get paid regardless whether it's

1064
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 6: you know, they did, they did their show, they did

1065
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 6: what they were contractually obligated.

1066
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 5: To do with me.

1067
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 6: And the time is going and I mean, now I'm

1068
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 6: looking at my watch, it's like thirty minutes over, it

1069
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 6: gets to forty minutes over.

1070
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 5: We now are at.

1071
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 6: An hour over, and it seems like this artist is

1072
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 6: just never gonna stop, you.

1073
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying.

1074
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, she ain't even get to the hit yet,

1075
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 6: Like what is going on? And I'm on the radio,

1076
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 6: I'm like, I mean, it's damn near tears coming down

1077
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 6: my eyes, you know what I mean. I'm in front

1078
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 6: of house and I'm just like I'm talking to her

1079
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 6: production manager, you know, and I'm just like I'm on

1080
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 6: the radio, like please somebody stop her, please, Like this

1081
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 6: is I don't want, Like I don't want to have

1082
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 6: to cut the mic, you know what I mean. Like

1083
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 6: I just it's not going to be me to do that,

1084
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. But like I'm just begging,

1085
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 6: like does she have to do her closing record? And

1086
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 6: I think production manager actually made the call and he

1087
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 6: was like, you know, like let's cut it, and and

1088
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 6: then you know, gave that sort of like signal to

1089
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 6: the to the like monitor guy.

1090
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 5: And so like.

1091
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 6: The mic didn't go out while this artist was performing.

1092
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 6: But I think somebody told it, might have told her

1093
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 6: in her ears or something like that. It was like
