So I'm 50 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: trying to get used to that and trying not to 51 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: panic and um, just you know, try going to be 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: stay creative as much as I can in this time. 53 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I think that's huge. I was 54 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: talking to someone the other day and I just said, 55 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, the entertainment industry literally just disappeared in 56 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: a week, is what it feels like. You know, So 57 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: did all your stuff get canceled? It did. Yeah, a 58 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: lot of stuff got canceled some you know, the dates changed, 59 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: and yeah, the music industry is just trying to live 60 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: through Instagram, which is the great thing about social media. Um, 61 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, we can try to do as much as 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: we can through there. So it's a whole other way 63 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: of trying to do music that I'm you know, personally 64 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: trying to get used to. So yeah, yeah, I mean, 65 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: so you were touring, I know you didn't you last 66 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: tour with who We're on the road with King Brown? 67 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: Was that the last tour? Yeah? So that was the 68 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: What's been the biggest thing you've missed from being on 69 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: the road? Um, you know, obviously the shows and you 70 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: know meet and greets and just seeing all the fans 71 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: face to face and stuff like that. I think that's 72 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: the biggest, you know, odd thing. You know, my fans 73 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: have even voiced it themselves through Instagram. You know, I 74 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: had this show booked and now I have to cancel 75 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: it and I can't. I hate that I can't see you. 76 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: And you know, the last show I did was in 77 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: Florida before everything kind of got put to a stop 78 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: and we had to cancel the meet and greek there. 79 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: So it's just like a lot of weird transitions, and 80 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: I know my fans were not too happy about that, 81 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: and you know, we're not happy about that. So hopefully, 82 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, we were trying to figure out things to 83 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: do again over through Instagram that I want to get 84 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: our fans back in touch.

Yeah, 118 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: it's insane, it really is. Um. Speaking of social media, 119 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: I saw a post on your Instagram and it was 120 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: a quote and it said, which do you want the 121 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: pain of staying where you are or the pain of growth? 122 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: So and then under that you wrote a caption just 123 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: challenging people to kind of use this time of social 124 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: isolation for growth, you know, instead of just sitting around 125 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: in a funk, to maybe look at it as like 126 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: this is the one time that we've all kind of 127 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: had stop. So what can you do to grow? Whether 128 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: it's brainstorming, you mentioned making mood boards, Pinterest boards, or 129 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: just taking time for yourself. Can you tell us a 130 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: little more about that? Yeah, for sure, UM, because I 131 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: personally got, you know, in a funk, and I I 132 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: didn't feel as motivated or didn't know where to really 133 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: start through all of this, and um, you know, worried 134 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: about being less vocal on on social media and you know, 135 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: as artists, we try to be you know in everyone's 136 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: face positively, um, as much as we can. So, uh, 137 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: there's just a lot of things going through my head. 138 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: And then when I posted that, um, you know, I 139 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: was thinking, you know, we need to make mood boards 140 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: or pinchest boards or you know, be as creative as possible, 141 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: um in this time, and you know, do things that 142 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: we really haven't been able to get to, like working 143 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: out or you know, having time for yourself. Read a book. 144 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: That's my challenge right now. I haven't read much and 145 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: I want to read more. What are you reading? Um? 146 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: This called The Road Back to You? Yeah yeah, yeah, 147 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: I read it. So yeah, just life books like that, 148 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: and there's just little things and um, you know, like 149 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: an example, I You're probably not supposed to, but I 150 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: went through the Starbugs drive through. Um, was very careful. 151 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: But this girl was talking to me while I was 152 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: waiting for my drinks and she was like, you know, 153 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: I've worked out as more than I ever have in 154 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: my life right now, and I've ordered more um fab 155 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: bloodic clothes than ever. And I was like, that's so 156 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: good and she was like, yeah, this is really teaching 157 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: me to, you know, step out of my comfort zone. 158 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's so cool, Like people actually say that. 159 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: So um yeah, back to that quote, just you know, 160 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: try to get yourself motivated and inspired each day, you know, 161 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: on your own, start things that you never really got to. 162 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: So and what is what they're doing. Yeah, I think 163 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: that's a great point even about working out, because it's like, 164 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: what do they say, it takes a certain amount of 165 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: days to create a habit, So we have the days 166 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: right now, you might as well try to do something 167 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: that maybe you could take, you know, on with you 168 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: after this stuff is all over. Yeah, for sure. Um yeah, 169 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: we have so much time right now. We're just sitting 170 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: with our thoughts and ourselves and you know, this is 171 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: the perfect time to do all of that. So yeah, 172 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: well I have to ask now that I know you're 173 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: reading the road back to you, what is your angiogram number? 174 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm a nine. Oh the peacemaker. Okay, Wow, it's so 175 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: interesting that I feel like that now. I'm like, okay, 176 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: I know who she is. I got it. Yeah, yeah, 177 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: I And it's so true. I you know, some of 178 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: those things. I'm like, but when I did the in 179 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: your Graham, I'm like, I can so see them. I 180 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: never like conflict. I'm like, it's just yeah, yeah, So yeah, 181 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm a peachmaker. I love that book. I took his His 182 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: His name is Ian Morgan Kron, I think right, But 183 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: he has his own angiogram test that's a lot more 184 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: extensive than some other ones that I've seen, and it was, Yeah, 185 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: it was the most accurate. When I took his test, 186 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: I understood my number way more and it all made 187 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: so much more sense. I actually got a different number 188 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: than I had gotten other test. Yeah. But he that 189 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: book is so great. I really recommend it. Yeah, It's 190 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: like and then it prints out this whole thing about 191 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: how you are at work, how you are in relationships, 192 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: how you can get through conflict easier based on your number. Yeah. 193 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: Pretty fascinating. Yeah, So I want to talk a little 194 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: bit about your journey because obviously you mentioned earlier that 195 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: you were on the Voice. You won the Voice in 196 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen, which was was that season four? Were 197 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: back in the day, yes, season four? What was that 198 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: experience like? Oh man, I you know, I can say 199 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: so many things, um, because I was I went in 200 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: the competition very you know, I had no experience at all. 201 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: I had I was a baby. I was had just 202 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: turned sixteen years old and talk about fresh minded, had 203 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: no idea what the industry was like at all. And 204 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: I think that helped me in a way because a 205 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: lot of my um, the other contestants were very experienced 206 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: and had sang before and had been a background background 207 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: singer for somebody, and I was just you know, tell 208 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: me where to go, tell me what to sing. And 209 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: I just learned so much and the people on the 210 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: show were so helpful, and uh yeah. My coach was 211 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: Blake Shelton and he's I don't want to see is 212 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: what you get? He's amazing, um and he's you know, 213 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: taught me to get out of my comfort zone and 214 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: to be more confident. So I that was like my 215 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: big boot camp for the music industry, as I like 216 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: to call it. It kind of prepared me for a 217 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: lot of things, and then of course I learned even more, 218 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: still learning. Um, but yeah, the show was amazing and 219 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: taught me so much, and it was like my whole 220 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: sixteenth year. I had turned sixteen, went on the Voice one, 221 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: did the whole thing, and then after that was done, 222 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: I had turned seventeen. So it was unbelievable. What a 223 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: sweet sixteen. That's very different from most people that would say, 224 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: very very different. Well, it's so interesting with you guys 225 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: that are on these TV shows because it happened so quickly. 226 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: It seems like like I was reading about your journey 227 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: and it's like you won the Voice, you immediately get signed, 228 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: then you were least your first single, all right back 229 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: to back to back to back. So what do you think? 230 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously that experience is so different from most 231 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: new artists because it's just a lot slower. Do you 232 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: think or how do you think that that has helped you? 233 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: And then maybe how that's hindered you career wise? Oh? Man, Um, 234 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: the helped me part, like I said it, you know, 235 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: being fresh minded and being young I got I grew 236 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: up faster than the norm. Um, and I you know, 237 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: they taught me so much and I was very very 238 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: shy diary to myself, um, and I feel like it 239 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: helped me get to know myself a little bit more 240 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: and no, you know, this is actually something I really 241 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: want to do. And I knew I loved to sing, 242 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: but you know, once I did the show and everything, 243 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, like I'm getting more of myself and 244 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: into myself and I know what I want to sing 245 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: and say and and then the other side of it, 246 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: I think it did go a little too fast, um 247 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: because I immediately got on a record deal, got a 248 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: record deal, and immediately, you know, I went to New 249 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: York l A And did all these things. And I'm like, 250 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: I am still such a baby. I don't know anything. 251 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: And you know, from my first record to my second record, 252 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: I there was a good chunk of I think three 253 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: years where I didn't put out anything, and at the time, 254 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: I was very frustrated. But I think that that's exactly 255 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: what I needed, because if I would have kept going, 256 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: I think my headspace wouldn't have been in the best place, 257 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So at that break kind of 258 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: helped me figure out, you know, sit down for a 259 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: second and be like, Okay, this is new Daniel Bradberry 260 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: is this is what I want to say. I got 261 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: into songwriting for the first time. So yeah, it's it's 262 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: been a journey. Um. I think it went a little 263 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: too fast, but at the same time I learned more 264 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: than ever. So well, you're obviously doing something right. You 265 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: were nominated for a c M New Female Artists of 266 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: the Year.

What um, 269 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: what are we What can we look forward to once 270 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: this coronavirus isolation has passed from you? Yeah? Um, I 271 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: was working on new music before all of this happened, 272 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: was in the recording studio. So a couple of songs 273 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: have gotten recorded. Um. So the other half is still 274 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:49,239 Speaker 1: on on weight yeah, and so it's on isolation too.
