So 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.360 should I be looking at anything, just look at me. 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:14.680 Watch Homi Kwan, comedian from Wats, California. I do hood 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:21.600 type of comedy. I bring a sense of authentic goodness, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.320 if that's even the word. I tell hood stories and 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.000 in an authentic way and provide people from the hood 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.160 opportunities to get a chance at being a part of 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.840 Hollywood and doing films and stuff. And you started as 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.320 an artist, right, yeah, I was doing music and stuff first, 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.560 So what you're you know, it's obviously a hard industry 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.520 to make it and as an artist, what what made 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.920 you kind of pivot and go more full in on 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:52.280 the content and the comedy. It was a video one day, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.360 like when Instagram first started now videos, when they first 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.240 started doing videos, it was fifteen seconds. I was just like, 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.600 just on some funny shit. I was like, uh, this 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.520 member's answer to the party, and it was me doing 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.760 a dance called the Hoover Stump. I did that and 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.920 went viral and then the follow started coming in and 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.839 so I was like, ooh, I always wanted to get 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.680 into acting, so this might be that avenue. So I 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.480 started doing that and then once I started doing the 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.160 comedy stuff because my personality and who I am is 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.160 just goofy, So started doing that shit and then it 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.640 just blew up. So then when I started to try 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.480 to put out music, it was hard for the newer 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.440 fans to gravitate too, because they're like, oh, you comedy right, right, 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.520 So I started doing celebrity impression so they can still 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.040 hear my bars, but hear it from a different person 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.400 that'd be like, oh this sit hard. So the acting 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.920 shit just it just blew up, so the music kind 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.680 of fell in the background. I think it's dope because, 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.800 like you said, like what you do I think is 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.120 very is authentic, but it's also kind of like for 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.960 anybody who's not from LA it's also like low key educational. Yeah. Yeah, 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.840 I'm like the hood learners God, and I am the 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.120 hood pass if you will. Yeah, I feel like you 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.440 kind of like touch on so many like things that 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.280 nobody would even think about if they because you know, 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:11.320 we live in LA. Yeah, most people ain't from here 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.280 who are within this industry, this music industry, this entertainment industry. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.160 A lot of transplants, but a lot of people move 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.240 like don't really know how to move around out here. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.880 For me, my hood pass was DJ Head West Coast. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.160 DJ Head kind of had to put me on the Hey, look, 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.760 don't wear this hat. This DJ. I remember one night 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:33.439 at the radio station had broke down every gang beef 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.240 in LA because I had no fucking idea that this 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.160 gang beats with this gang. And there's a reason why 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.120 you never hear this artist work with this artist. And 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.000 I was just like, oh shit, the politics. It's crazy. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.240 I always knew there was politics, but I didn't know that, like, 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.040 you know, crypt sets beef with cripsets some places, and 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.160 I'm just like, what the fuck is going on? So, 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.080 but I feel like you kind of like are like 0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.320 a very like easily digestible way of like kind of 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.000 just understanding LA culture a bit more. Thank you. I 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.840 appreciate that. Yeah. Was that kind of like the goal 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.559 for you to kind of because you know, people always 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.800 think Hollywood and the Valley is LA, but it's not. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.160 It's not, it's not at all. Was that your kind 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.880 of goal though, Like, I want to be funny, but 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.160 I also want to make sure like I kind of 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:21.079 shine a light on like the culture of the city. Yeah, honestly, bro, 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:27.760 I wanted to be a voice for people that come 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.520 from where I come from, because we don't really have 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.040 a voice too much. We had a voice with John Singleton, 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.760 ice Que, DJ Pool, rec In Peace, f Gary Gray, 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:44.319 you know, filmmakers like that, and those movies were so dope. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.800 They told our story, but it still needed to be 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.720 dugging a little deeper. So what I always valued was 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.240 just us. I love who we are. So I was like, okay, 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:56.800 and all these movies and all these films that have 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:01.120 people from other places portraying us, why aren't we portraying us? 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.359 So I'm like, all right, I'm gonna provide these opportunities 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.079 for people that look like me, that come from where 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.439 I come from, these opportunities to show them we capable 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.000 of doing this, doing the shit too.

Yeah, and then you also kind of 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.920 just like you said, you bring in people from from LA, 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.319 like you know, you'll collaborate with Duno or like certain 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.880 people who are who are you know, you'll share your 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.240 platform with other LA personalities. So I think that's dope, man. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.719 Thank you talk about Growing Up in LA, which is 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.480 like for people who don't know, it's like a TV 0:12:55.559 --> 0:13:00.440 show that you that you're behind, that it skits. Yeah. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.400 How many episodes did you do? I did five this 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:08.400 season five self produced. Yeah. Yeah, So give us like 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.440 a rundown of growing Up in LA because that's on 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.920 your YouTube channel, right, Yeah, so on YouTube channel. Growing 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.240 Up in LA is the sketch comedy show I created 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:22.320 with the help of my lady, Mike Williams. She she 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:28.280 helped me figure out the concept and basically I wanted 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.079 to do a sketch show like All my Life about 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.520 my experience growing up in LA, but also tie in 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.480 the things that inspired me as a kid. So she 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.080 was like, Okay, Boom, we're gonna get together. Look just 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.680 how you write this. So I structured it and I 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.760 do skits where it consisted of me sitting on the 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.760 couch looking at TV and I'm reenacting the shit on 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.920 TV like cops, cheaters, shit like that, and it's just 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.880 a variety of sketch show like all the shit I 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.920 watched Robert Townsend's uh uh what was the name of 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:06.240 the show, Robert Townsen's Partners in Crime, the Dave Chappelle Show, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.040 Dwayne's Brother, Jamie Fox show, Martin all that. So I 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:14.199 incorporated all those things into this sketch show, which allowed 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.200 you to see the black and brown community getting together. 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.200 And then you see like these different situations and these 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.640 different characters, and it's just like something dope for the city, 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.400 just really la base. But you get the hints of 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.280 different spots when you can watch certain things and they're like, ooh, shit, 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.640 that resonates with where I'm from. It's also impressive because, 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.960 like you know, I think in twenty twenty two or 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.680 twenty twenty one, when you first put the episodes out, 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:42.400 like you feel like a lot of content creators traditionally 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:47.960 will depend on a machine or a developmental deal or 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.560 something to do what you did. Yeah, when now we 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.800 have our own plot like YouTube, Like you know what 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.440 I'm saying, Like there's really no excuse. If you got 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.880 an idea, you put your head down, save your money, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.880 figure it out, Like, yeah, you should be able to 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.120 execute your ideas. Like was it for you? Was it 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.560 like did you try to shop that idea around before 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.400 you just decided to put it out or were you like, 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.240 let me let me put it out first, Yeah, and 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.880 then garner interest and Yeah. My whole thing was I 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.480 wanted to do it myself, Like with the show producing myself, 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.280 I've written it myself, I got to cast myself everything. 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.880 I more so was like I'm not waiting for nobody 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.200 give me an opportunity. I'm gonna give myself an opportunity 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.440 because a lot of times we tend to wait on 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.280 other people to throw in that life rap instead of 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.480 jumping out in the ocean and swimming yourself figuring it out. 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.400 So I was like, I'm gonna do the show my 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.960 damn self, and if it blows up that way, it 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.440 goes that way. But with me doing it myself, I'm 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.520 gonna learn the importance of independence and figuring it out 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.800 on my own. So I'm not at a cross road 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.640 to if this shit don't work, I don't know how 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.880 to do this. I'm gonna do this now and we're 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.080 gonna see what happens. What were some of the lessons 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.240 that likes because obviously doing something for the first time, 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.400 you're gonna be like, okay, shit, yeah, the next season, 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.160 we gotta do this different over some of the things 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.680 that you either made mistakes on or that you learned 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.760 from the first season that you know, bros. Hiring a 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.840 better crew, like not like that, Like I got love 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.960 for the crew I did have, but I feel like 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:21.120 they didn't execute the vision will and that was that 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.560 was is the reason why we only had five episodes 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.080 because it was just like a battle of power. And 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.800 the thing is, bro, we are here to work together. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.320 You know what I'm saying. I give you instruction. You 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:38.000 can throw your opinions cool. I will take that and 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.120 if I if I can apply it, I will apply it. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.680 But if I'm writing this and I'm doing this, like 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.040 trust me and my vision and I'm letting you know 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:50.760 how it should go. So that making sure everything is 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.480 taken care of for a sound and all that shit, 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.720 because that shit really matters, does matter. The right little 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.280 things that you don't even think about are things like 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.320 your shit look like official or makes it look like 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:09.080 yeah so that and and really, uh, what was another 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:14.520 thing that I learned from the show that was it 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.520 just a production because everything else was cool because it 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.199 was like all people that I worked with before, So 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.320 everybody else was easy and fine to do it, But 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.800 it was just hiring the right crew. The small things 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.440 really does matter, especially if it's like your first thing 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.679 coming out with that can be the the rids or 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.119 the fall of who you are, because if it's like 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.520 super shitty during the first go around, it makes people 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.840 kind of hesitant to like, I don't know that's real. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.679 That's real. Just taking care of those small details, sound, 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.359 the color, the right editing, like all that shit really 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:52.240 means a lot for people who come to LA, give 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.960 me a give me the parameters of where the real 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.520 LA starts, because most people will be in fucking Melrose 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.600 getting robbed these days because they're walking around with jewelry 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.840 and it's hot out here, But like where where is 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:09.040 like you know, where would you suggest the people actually 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.439 tap in if they really want to get into like 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.879 actual real l A culture, not just the Melrose and 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.680 fair Fast you got, you gotta hit the other side 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.560 of Pico like all like all the hood spots.
