Speaker 4: yourself Kai, Like, like, in a few words and a

47
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: sentence and a paragraph, how would you know someone said,

48
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: who's kind?

49
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would probably say Kai is like a multi genre.

50
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Artist based in Nam Zimbabwe born. Yeah. I don't know.

51
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: It's so hard to you know when someone says, you know,

52
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: tell me about yourself and you go.

53
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: Exactly window.

54
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, definitely a multi genre artist. Yeah, sort

55
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 6: of making pop, R and B dance music with just

56
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 6: a focus on fun and joy and enjoyment.

57
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

58
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

59
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: I love that.

60
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 5: We've spoken a lot about being a third culture kid,

61
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: you know, balancing all the cultures we come from. How

62
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 5: do you think being born in Zimbabwe, raised in the UK,

63
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 5: and now based in malvin has shaped your musical journey.

64
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 6: I think all of the different cultures and you know,

65
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 6: different versions of my upbringing is kind of the reason

66
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 6: why I'm such a multi genre artist. I think, you know,

67
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 6: when you've lived in all these different places and you've

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 6: had to adapt a whole bunch of times, and you know,

69
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 6: meet new people and be in different environments, you know,

70
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 6: it makes you such I guess, like a hybrid person,

71
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 6: and I think that makes my music sound like that

72
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 6: because that's what my personality is like I'm just you know,

73
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 6: a combination of all the places I've been and all

74
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 6: the things that I've learned and the people I've met.

75
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think it heavily informs my music because

76
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 6: I don't really make one sound that can be put into.

77
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: You know, one box. Yes, and that's just how I

78
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: am as a personality.

79
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 4: So yeah, absolutely, and I love that multifacetedness. I think

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 4: so often we are denied of that. You're allowed to

81
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 4: be all these things, right, It's like, oh, if you're

82
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 4: gonna identify as this, you're only this, or if you're

83
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: can to identify as that, you're only that. And you know,

84
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: it's beautiful when we can embrace all of that.

85
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 6: So yeah, when it took me, even like a while

86
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 6: in my musical journey to you know, even identify as

87
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 6: Zimbabwean born, I think that was such a big turning

88
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 6: point for me because I was like, actually, that does

89
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 6: inform my music. And maybe it means that I don't

90
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 6: make afrobeats and I don't make zimbabwe music, but I

91
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 6: can still identify with saying, oh, this is my culture,

92
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 6: this is where I was born, and these are the

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 6: ways that it influences my music. Without having to make

94
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 6: a specific type of music. I think, especially in Western media,

95
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 6: there is such a you know, a preconception about the

96
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 6: music that Africans make and the art that Africans make,

97
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 6: so immediately when you say, oh, I'm from Zimbabwe, they're like, okay,

98
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: give us the Zimbabwe music. Yeah. I think there was

99
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 6: even a push and pull there of being like, actually, no,

100
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 6: let me introduce my culture into this. Yeah.

101
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of culture, how did your close family and

102
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 4: friends support you in becoming a musician.

103
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: What was that journey like for you when you decided.

104
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of fear at the beginning.

105
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 6: I think you know, you probably would understand, you know,

106
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 6: coming from Zim and like my parents having moved us

107
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 6: from Zim and we've moved to different places around the world.

108
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 6: For them, you know, everything was very much about how

109
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 6: do we, you know, keep our family sustained, how do

110
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 6: we go and find a job that's going to keep

111
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 6: us pushing through? And for them it was all about

112
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 6: like how do we survive and take care of these kids?

113
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 6: And then I think for us kids, we've gone okay, well,

114
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 6: now I've got this whole world full of opportunities, and

115
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 6: I want to do something a bit weird and your parents.

116
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: Wait, what, you're a doctor or a lawyer about it?

117
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think, you know, they get you through school,

118
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 6: they get you educated, and I went off to UNI

119
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 6: and I was pre met for a couple of years,

120
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 6: and then I decided I didn't want to do it.

121
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 5: So now.

122
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: Exactly that was.

123
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 6: An uphill battle for a while, and you know, mom

124
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 6: and dad didn't really get it, you know, until the

125
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 6: music started coming out and you know, things started happening.

126
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: But they've always been supportive.

127
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: They've always you know, they've always known that I loved

128
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 6: music and I love singing, and they always wanted me

129
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 6: to do it. But it was just that thing of like,

130
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 6: we don't know anything about the music industry or how

131
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 6: people release songs or how people get a record deal,

132
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 6: and you know, how are you going to make money?

133
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 6: How are you going to survive? So I think, yeah,

134
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 6: it was it was a big conversation. But they are

135
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 6: the most supportive parents in the world now, Like they

136
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 6: just they back everything I do. They support me, They

137
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 6: come to every show like they're the best.

138
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: We love it.

139
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, we heard you on your bossing song when you

140
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 5: speak a few bars or like yeah, you know, they

141
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: sound lovely to be seen, And I think you're so right.

142
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 5: It's our parents always operate from a place of fear

143
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: because for them, they were probably the first generation to

144
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 5: really experience quote unquote material success. So to them, they're like,

145
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 5: it can be taken away. You have to have security, security, security,

146
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: And then with the generation after that, like we're secure

147
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 5: now now.

148
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: What you know? Now we dream?

149
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, now we dream right now, we can do those

150
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 5: other things that you wanted us to do. Deep down,

151
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 5: this is what you were doing it for. But I

152
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: think this is so hard for them to fathom. How

153
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 5: do you yourself keep yourself motivated as a young black

154
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 5: woman experiencing life through a predominantly white lens.

155
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: As you said in your bio.

156
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 6: I think like, as much as it is difficult, it's

157
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 6: also really exciting. I think, you know, there's a there's

158
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 6: that feeling of pushing the envelope and pushing that glass

159
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 6: ceiling further and further up, and knowing that the more

160
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 6: that I push in, the harder I work, the easier

161
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 6: it's going to be for you know, the next young

162
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 6: black girls who are making music, you know in white Australia,

163
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 6: I think by the time I've gone and done it,

164
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 6: you know, the next batch that's coming up, it's just

165
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 6: going to be you know, a much easier, a much

166
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 6: easier journey for them. So there's always that in the

167
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 6: back of my mind. But I think it's also just

168
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 6: exciting feeling like, oh, you know, we're actually going to

169
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 6: push some barriers here, and we're going to see what

170
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 6: it looks like to see change actively happen. Then it's

171
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 6: frustrating some days, and it's hard some days, but other

172
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 6: days you get those big wins and you actually really

173
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 6: get to go, yes, I did that, and I get

174
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 6: to claim that, and I get to say, you know,

175
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 6: I get to put my heritage and my culture at

176
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 6: the forefront, and.

177
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, let the white people watch me do it.

178
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: And enjoy you while you do that as well. Enjoy

179
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 3: it while you do that.

180
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 4: Because I think that there's something really special. As much

181
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: as there's pushback sometimes on culture or difference, I think

182
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 4: there's something that draws people to you know, be like wow,

183
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: like that's something that's different to me, and so on

184
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: and so forth. So I think it's really inspiring what

185
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 4: you're doing. And we wanted to know who inspires you

186
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: music like your your your journey, your sound and all that,

187
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 4: if he could.

188
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: Share with us.

189
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's always so hard to pinpoint musical influences because

190
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 6: I think it just expands and changes every day. But

191
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 6: my parents brought me up on a lot of like

192
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 6: Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston and Shaka Khan and you know,

193
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 6: all of those great great artists from that time. So

194
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 6: R and B and soul music and like great pop

195
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 6: music has always been something I had around me, So

196
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 6: I think, yeah, my early songwriting was definitely like, oh,

197
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 6: you know, I know this Michael Jackson song because I

198
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 6: know it's got this hook. So I've got to write

199
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 6: songs that have got hooks. So I think, yeah, the

200
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 6: early influences is that. And then yeah, just as I've

201
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 6: gotten older, just discovering more and more artists that I love.

202
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 6: I'm a big Beyonce fan. It's embarrassing, you tell us twice.

203
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I have.

204
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 6: An embarrassing love for Beyonce and just her work and

205
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 6: her career been really inspiring to watch. And then you know,

206
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 6: just some of the newer R and B stuff that's

207
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 6: coming out Scissor and you know, all this kind of

208
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 6: artists Kailani who sort of make that alternative R and

209
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 6: B and I think it was really cool listening to

210
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 6: that music when people weren't really across it yet. And

211
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 6: now if you say Scissor, everyone knows who Scissor is.

212
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 6: But if you said Sissa five six years ago, people

213
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 6: will be like, I don't know, I've not heard of

214
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 6: that artist before.

215
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think not so much.

216
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 6: Sonically, I think, you know, I don't really make super

217
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 6: R and B music anymore, but I think yeah, definitely

218
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 6: career wise, and watching you know, other black young artists

219
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 6: sort of come up from the underground and really place

220
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 6: themselves in the mainstream.

221
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, has definitely been a big influence. I mean speaking

222
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: on that.

223
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: You know, we always talk about things we want to

224
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 5: see or places you want to be And for you musically,

225
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 5: who do you think you would love to collaborate with?

226
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean number one Beyonce.

227
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 6: I say it for every every interview if I asked

228
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 6: the question, I always say it because I know that

229
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 6: if I say it enough times, it'll happen.

230
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: So yeah, watching this beyond is internet that absolutely, there's

231
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 5: there's so many Honestly, if there wasn't Beyonce.

232
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: Gosh, I mean Ed Sheeran.

233
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 6: Honestly, I think Ed Sheeran is one of the greatest

234
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 6: pop songwriters, like in the world right now, Ed Sheeran,

235
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 6: Max Martin. Yeah, a lot of amazing pop songwriters out there,

236
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 6: So yeah, but number one Beyonce.

237
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: Queen?

238
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: You heard that, Queen?

239
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 4: Which would you say? I think people often say it's

240
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: hard to choose. It's like choosing which is your favorite child.

241
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: But what do you enjoy more? The songwriting aspect or

242
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 4: being a vocalist because your vocals are quite like, you know,

243
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: like really impressive, just the way able to scale and

244
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: you know, listening to some of your covers like it's

245
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 4: just really really inspiring. So which which side of it

246
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: do you enjoy more? The songwriting or the vocals performing?

247
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: I don't know anyone.

248
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: It is hard. It is like being your favorite child.

249
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 6: I think lately it's been like vocals the actual I

250
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 6: think like artistry behind vocals has been a big thing

251
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 6: for me. I think in my previous records, I think

252
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 6: a lot of people who know me or have heard

253
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 6: me sing have been like, oh, you don't really sing

254
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 6: on your records, which is really interesting because they're right

255
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 6: I don't really have to work hard vocally on some

256
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 6: of the records I've put out. A lot of the

257
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 6: new music is like vocal, like vocally heavy, like really

258
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 6: I've had to get really into the nitty gritty of

259
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 6: like my singing and really use my vocals for the

260
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 6: stuff that's coming out later. So I've been really in

261
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 6: that space at the moment, just really working on vocal

262
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 6: arranging and I mean getting better.

263
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: As a vocalist to I teach vocals.

264
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 6: I have about fifty students, yeah, so that's been like

265
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 6: a big part of the process. I've been teaching for

266
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 6: about a year and a half. Yeah, so it's been

267
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 6: really really interesting to get into the mechanics of my voice.

268
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: So that's been really fun.

269
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 6: But it's amazing gear up, Yeah, as we gear up

270
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 6: to go back on tour. I'm so excited to get

271
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 6: back on stage because I think that is my my

272
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 6: happy place being.

273
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: On That's amazing. That's amazing.

274
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: And would there be anyone that you would love to

275
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 4: songwrite with for collaborate with on a songwriting scale, because

276
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: we talk about the honest song overall, but like anyone

277
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 4: you'd love to write with. I know you mentioned ed Sharan,

278
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: Is there anyone else there?

279
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, I would love I would love for Edge

280
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 6: Shearing to write me a song. But yeah, at the moment,

281
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 6: I think my my focus has been collaborating with people

282
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 6: who are really different to me and make really different

283
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 6: music to me. Like I just did a couple of

284
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 6: sessions with an Australian artist named Jeef Flip and their

285
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 6: music couldn't be any more different to what I make,

286
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 6: And the music that we made was really really cool

287
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 6: and really opened up a new space for me. So

288
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 6: I think, yeah, without sort of pinpointing any names, I

289
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 6: think there's so many artists that I would love to

290
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 6: work with who are just in a completely different genre

291
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 6: to me.

292
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: So I think that's yeah, that's.

293
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 5: The beautiful you know, it's so interesting to talk about

294
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 5: how your voice. I think we forget their voices are instruments.

295
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 5: I remember when we were like in music school in

296
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 5: high school and they'll be like, oh, you can do music,

297
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 5: and then people will be expecting you to play an instrument,

298
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 5: and some people would just sing a compeller and it's like, well, yeah,

299
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 5: that is an instrument. So it's beautiful that you're even

300
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 5: teaching music and using our voices. It's such a I

301
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 5: don't know, it's such a I guess, underrated part of music.

302
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 5: It's funny we know you're a singer, but then we

303
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 5: always the production and we forget that you're vocalist first. Right.

304
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's really true. It's really true.

305
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 6: I think even as I've gotten back to being more

306
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 6: of an instrumentalist because I do play, I think even

307
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 6: getting back to that and being like, oh, I have

308
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 6: to give as much practice and time to singing as

309
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 6: I have to give to guitar or piano or so yeah,

310
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 6: how technical it all is. So yeah, the voice is

311
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 6: such an interesting instrument because it's so personal. You know,

312
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 6: if you play the wrong note on the piano or

313
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 6: you hit the wrong drum, it's like oops. But if

314
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 6: you see a wrong note, it's so deeply, like personally reflective.

315
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: I think that.

316
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 6: Very exposing. So yeah, no, it's been it's been fun

317
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 6: to dig into.

318
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: It's so funny you say that because we grew up

319
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 5: in the era of like Christina Anguilera, and I remember

320
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: on one of her studio sessions she had like the

321
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 5: lights dimmed and everything was just because she's like, I

322
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 5: just want people to focus on my voice and not

323
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 5: like what I look like. And it's just so interesting

324
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 5: because just one for you. Well, I mean we've just

325
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 5: been the same studio, so we feel like we've really.

326
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: Hang out with you. We recorded our.

327
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 5: Special at the Base Studios as well in South Melbourne.

328
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: What do you think you enjoy most about being in

329
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: the studio?

330
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, so you would have seen the bass, which

331
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 6: is great for context because it's such like a It

332
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 6: depends on how you light it, I think, but it's

333
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 6: such like a movie and it's just like the atmosphere

334
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 6: of it is just very intimate, I think. So I

335
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 6: really like to get into intimate space when I'm recording

336
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 6: because it really does affect it. It affects the way

337
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 6: that you're seeing and perform. I can't do it with

338
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 6: bright lights on. My voice sounds completely different under bright

339
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 6: lights than it does, you know, in a dark space,

340
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 6: which is so funny.

341
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: It's so weird.

342
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 6: But yeah, however it affects your brain is just how

343
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 6: the sound comes out, which is yeah, really funny.

344
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: But I love recording at the Base.

345
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 6: It's been my home now for a while and my

346
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 6: first sort of music that came out as Kai was

347
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 6: all recorded at the base that I haven't recorded anywhere

348
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 6: else since. So, yeah, it's just my little musical home.

349
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had We had a great time recording there

350
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 4: and just as you said, the energy is just really

351
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: really great. You shared a little so you like the

352
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: more sort of dimmed side of things when it comes

353
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 4: to recording. Can you share a bit about your creative process,

354
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: because you know what I always wonder about the songwriters

355
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 4: or the singers, you know, especially if you have a

356
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 4: hands on approach to make creating your music and seeing

357
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 4: it through from the start to the finish.

358
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: What does that look like?

359
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 4: Because I think sometimes as regular humans we can't fathom, like, so,

360
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: where does the song come from?

361
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

362
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: Like, yeahs, what does that create a process look like

363
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 4: for you?

364
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 3: Or does it differ change? Like do you have like a.

365
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 6: Systems chop and change around? But I think that question

366
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 6: you asked before, where does the song come from? Is

367
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 6: is a really interesting question and something that I've been

368
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 6: I think grappling with probably for the last few years,

369
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 6: because I think my best songs that I've ever written

370
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 6: feel like they fall out of the sky, Like it

371
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 6: doesn't feel like I write them. It feels like they

372
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 6: just happened to me and then I happen to just

373
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 6: be there at the right time and place. So yeah,

374
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 6: I think my favorite songs I've written them driving and

375
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 6: they just happen all like linearly or in the shower,

376
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 6: and the whole song happens. And the last song that

377
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 6: I wrote that I really loved, I felt like was

378
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 6: the best song I've ever written. I had heard two

379
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 6: chords on her guitar and it just happened. People in

380
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 6: the room are like, what just happened there? Like you

381
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 6: just heard the sound and then you know, the.

382
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: Christians and Zimbabwe be like, it's like exactly, yeah, and.

383
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 6: You know they said, oh, it's like you just reached

384
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 6: up in the air and just grabbed it. And so

385
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 6: I think that's something I've been just trying to I

386
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 6: think I'll never understand that's actual.

387
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 4: There's something, there's something really when they I've been reading

388
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 4: different things and.

389
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: Oh, specifically Power of Now.

390
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 4: I've been reading Guys and things like that and talks

391
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 4: about flow and when you're in flow and it's almost

392
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 4: like an element. That's why consciousness is so important, because

393
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 4: you're not in your head, you're just in flow. With

394
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 4: whatever you believe, whatever the universe whoever is talking to you,

395
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: and then that's where it just comes to you. And

396
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 4: it really shows that you really are in contact with

397
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 4: your flow and and and kind of moving in that.

398
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 4: So that's really beautiful. So guys, there's no like secrets.

399
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 4: I'm sure there are recipes.

400
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 7: Just like I just like, but it just it just

401
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 7: comes as well.

402
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 6: I think like flow is really important. But I think

403
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 6: even like flow within yourself, I can't write as I

404
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 6: don't feel good like if I don't take care of myself,

405
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 6: if I'm not like on my absolute one hundred percent

406
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 6: in terms of like am I being healthy? Am I exercising?

407
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 6: Am I reading? Am I surrounding myself with people who

408
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 6: make me happy? Am I having a good time? In general?

409
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: In life?

410
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 6: I can't be creative because I think, you know, being

411
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 6: creative out of negativity is just not it's not me,

412
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 6: Like I just feel like, I, yeah, I just can't

413
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 6: go into that space. I can't get into that place

414
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 6: where I guess I can receive. But yeah, I think

415
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 6: being on that wave for a while now of just

416
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 6: being like how do I actually make myself feel better?

417
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 6: Has been Yeah, has been just an unlocking point for

418
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 6: songwriting and being creative and yeah, just opening up my

419
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 6: artistry in general.

420
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we love that for you, We love that beautiful.

421
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think self care is such a thing that

422
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 5: people it's almost got to the point where it's become luxury, right,

423
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 5: People always think self care, Oh, you have to go

424
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 5: to SPA, you have to those things.

425
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: Definitely got a space you all love a bad day.

426
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 5: But like, I think what you're saying, like, even on

427
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 5: the day to day, checking in with yourself is so important.

428
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 5: And I think that's the lovely thing about your music.

429
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 5: It's just so fun, Like it's too joyful. Yeah, you

430
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 5: cannot listen to it and not be in a good

431
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 5: mood at the end of it. And I think it's

432
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 5: such a special talent that you have that you bring

433
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 5: that out, you know, even if you don't know the lyrics, you're.

434
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: Like, like, you know, it's just like step So I'm

435
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: not love it.

436
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 5: When I saw your shows, you know, I was like,

437
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 5: oh my gosh. People are really responding to that energy.

438
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 5: And I think, especially in this world there's so much

439
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 5: going on, it's nice to have to spark on those

440
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 5: moments of just pure joy and fun but how does

441
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 5: it feel for you performing your songs live?

442
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: Oh? So fun, so much fun.

443
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 6: I think even before writing the Ribena EP, a big

444
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 6: thing was how do I make it so that when

445
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 6: I'm performing, the whole thing is fun, you know? And

446
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 6: I think there is a place for sad songs. There's

447
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 6: definitely a place for more serious topic songs, and a

448
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 6: lot of other artists do that and they you know,

449
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 6: they fill that space, and I'll eventually do that as

450
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 6: I'm moving to my album. But I think if there

451
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 6: is an underlying feeling of actually, even if it is

452
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 6: a sad song, I still want you to be able

453
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 6: to find your joy in there, because you know, sadness

454
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 6: doesn't negate joy. So I think just finding that feeling of.

455
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 5: Right there that's not can make us take a lot.

456
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: R carry on.

457
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think, you know, wanting to engage with

458
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 6: that part of your audience and being like I want

459
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 6: you to feel joy is Yeah, it just makes performing

460
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 6: incredible because it's no longer about you. It's not you know, Oh,

461
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 6: I'm on this stage and I want you to look

462
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 6: at me and look at all the things I do

463
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 6: and listen to my voice. It's like, oh, let's let's

464
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 6: have an experience to get that.

465
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, beautiful and speaking of sadness, does not have, does

466
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 4: not negate joy.

467
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: Now this is gonna be a Quotable's gonna be out here,

468
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: okay in the streets.

469
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: But you know, your your song Tuesday, I think speaks

470
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 4: that because.

471
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: It's not really a happy song. Am that right?

472
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 4: And then the way I understood it because sometimes you

473
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 4: must understand the song. But I guess not really a

474
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 4: happy song, but you made it joyful. I watched the

475
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: music when I was like, oh my gosh, it's and

476
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 4: then I was like, but the if you listen.

477
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 3: Clearly it's not.

478
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 4: So I think that epitomizes so perfectly what you just said.

479
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 4: It's like you can you can cry in you know,

480
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 4: in a on a bed of flowers and you know,

481
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.

482
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: So I think that.

483
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 4: Juxtaposition was so beautifully done.

484
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: So I yes, so creative.

485
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: Any advice that you have for upcoming artists or those

486
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: who want to work in the music industry, because as

487
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 4: you said, I think historically, especially in Zimbabwe. Fun fact,

488
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 4: I wrote a song at sixteen, I even recorded it.

489
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: I wanted to be an artist.

490
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 4: Then my parents were like not going to happen and

491
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 4: I listened and you know, Cela VI. But any advice

492
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 4: for as you said, you're trying to carve a way

493
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 4: for the younger generation, so.

494
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: It's a little easier.

495
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: It feels a bit more normalized for them to see

496
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: themselves doing the things that were not.

497
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: Easy to do.

498
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 4: You know why we had to push against the grain

499
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 4: as you did. Any advice or thoughts for them, just.

500
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 6: That authenticity is everything. I think if you do everything

501
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 6: from an authentic place, then you know, whether it's in

502
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 6: the business side of music or whether it's in the

503
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 6: creative process, you'll always have the outcome that you're proud of.

504
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 6: I think it's really easy to lose yourself in, you know,

505
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 6: an industry that's like this, so that's all about entertainment

506
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 6: and it's all about being in front of people. It's

507
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 6: really really easy to just become a version of yourself

508
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 6: and not just truly yourself. So I think really sticking

509
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 6: to being your authentic self is what's going to make

510
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 6: you happy at the end of the day and what's

511
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 6: actually going to bring you success because nobody can be

512
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 6: as you as you, and that's what's going to be

513
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 6: different on the market too, So I think just yeah,

514
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 6: being absolutely you to a fault is the way to go.

515
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 6: And I think just injecting your personality into everything that

516
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 6: you do as well, making music that actually connects to

517
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 6: you and not just you know, singing songs on a

518
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: piece of paper, actually having a personal and real connection

519
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 6: to your art. Yeah, I think just being real, if

520
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 6: I had to sum that up, is just being real.

521
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

522
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 4: Absolutely, no one can be you, nobody can be more

523
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: than you. Bars another one.

524
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 5: Another, one another, one another, one another one. You know.

525
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: What I love about gen Z? I feel like you guys.

526
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 5: Just do it like yeah, And there's a lot of

527
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 5: conversation around gen Z and obviously we're not gen Z else,

528
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 5: But what do you think with the dialogue around millennials

529
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 5: and gen Z? Do you think millillions can take anything

530
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 5: from gen Z? And is there anything you would take

531
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 5: from millennials or.

532
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 6: Is it just like I think it's so it's so

533
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 6: funny because like I know, I'm technically what they call

534
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 6: a cuspa because I'm not quite gen Z, but I'm

535
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 6: not quite a millennial either, And I grew up with

536
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 6: all the stuff that like, you know, millennials grew up

537
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 6: with but I'm too young to be like a millennial millennials.

538
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 6: I'm a cusper, so I've got a bit of book.

539
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 6: So I think there's things to learn from both. I

540
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 6: think gen Z has really gotten I think like emotional

541
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 6: openness and vulnerability. Having that included in like the mainstream

542
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 6: conversation is something that I've noticed from gen Z that

543
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 6: is massive, Like people are really talking about their feelings,

544
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 6: which when I was in high school, that was not

545
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 6: a thing. We didn't do that. So I think that's

546
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 6: been really cool and really important. And I think gen

547
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 6: Z does have that whole thing where you can be,

548
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 6: you know, an individual and you can be really authentic.

549
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 6: But I think that millennials also have this like realism

550
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 6: that's like, yeah, we can be all of these, but

551
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 6: we need a functional way to do it because we've

552
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 6: seen what happens when the big dreaming boomers dream away

553
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 6: and dream the future away, so.

554
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 3: We suffer thanks to them.

555
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you got that realness. I think if

556
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 6: you brought that all in together, then yeah, you get

557
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 6: a really wonderful mix for a society.

558
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: But we'll see how we go. Gen Z is getting.

559
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 5: I think for me, it's just a it's a social

560
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 5: media stuff for me, Yeah, I cannot and I commend

561
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 5: you like your reels are so fun Yeah, like you

562
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 5: get to know.

563
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: I feel like I know you, like I feel like,

564
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: oh yeah doing a thing you know.

565
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 5: Yeah right.

566
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: I think for our generation, when I cannot be doing that, you.

567
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 4: Know, no one should see me like it's so funny,

568
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 4: like the difference.

569
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's great.

570
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 4: I love the call out to all everyone saying when

571
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 4: are you getting back to your what real song writing?

572
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 4: Or seriously, yeah, that was too funny.

573
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god.

574
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: And even when you're looking for the clip from Wendy

575
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: Wendy and you're like, there's a thing called legal, I

576
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, it was too funny the whole song,

577
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: and then forget about the legal part of it, Like

578
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: it's just and everyone just giving you recommendations.

579
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: That's the beautiful aspect.

580
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 5: I guess that we it's a community and you're definitely

581
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 5: in touch with your community, which is a beautiful thing

582
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 5: to see. I think sometimes, especially being from Zimbabwe, we

583
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 5: use social media to perform, to show off too, and

584
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 5: we forget that there's people receiving and those people need

585
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: that interaction and yeah, of course it gets overwhelming, but

586
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 5: there's definitely space where it's like you're not just coming

587
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 5: on here to show off, you here to really connect.

588
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: There's intent behind it.

589
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

590
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think working with like artists that are bigger

591
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 6: than me, like when I first started in music and

592
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 6: was doing like a lot of backing vocal stuff, seeing

593
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 6: their fan bases, because some of them are crazy, Like

594
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 6: working with Rule, like his fan base is one of

595
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 6: the most insane fan bases I've ever encountered. Like they

596
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 6: are just so loyal and like attached, but like attached

597
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 6: to each other as well, Like they've really become this

598
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 6: really like glued community. So you'd end up on your

599
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 6: Instagram and you go into your request folder and you

600
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 6: see that it's like groups of girls who have met

601
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 6: each other at concerts or met each other online and

602
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 6: then added you into the group to be like we

603
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 6: need to get information from her about this, we need

604
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 6: to get her to talk to us. But there were

605
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 6: girls who were from totally different parts of the world

606
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 6: and they were best friends in this chat and they

607
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 6: would come in and they would tell each other about

608
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 6: their day and like their struggles and like I've stayed

609
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 6: in the requests, like they've stayed in the request folder.

610
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 6: But I've read those groups for years, like they are

611
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 6: still friends, like they've been since they were like twelve,

612
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 6: and now they're nineteen and they're still on there talking

613
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 6: to each other and it's like, wow, you know, there's

614
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 6: one thing community together. So I think community is like invaluable.

615
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 6: It's amazing.

616
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 4: That's beautiful. Your sound on you know, your hit songs

617
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 4: like Barson and Rubena, Rabina Rabina. Guys, I'm not Australian,

618
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 4: I don't know what Boson and Rabina definitely gave me

619
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: emptv select vibes like re rewind by Artful Dodger and

620
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 4: also a bit of like Craig David filled me in you.

621
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 5: Know that very she's a casta in the music.

622
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you're talking about being a Casper, I was like, ah,

623
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 4: that makes sense.

624
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 3: What drew you to that?

625
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 4: Because it felt so nostalgic for me listening to it

626
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: as I'm a full on Millennire.

627
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 3: I can't even deny it.

628
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that really gave me like that vibe, but like

629
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 4: obviously you really you breathed a new life into it.

630
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 4: It was so it's so great to see just how

631
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: you did that, Yeah, so tell me about that. I can,

632
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: you know, go on, but tell me about your thoughts.

633
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 6: So that's like, that's that's what's really nostalgic for me,

634
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 6: that sound, because that would have been around like two thousand,

635
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 6: two thousand and one, and that's when I moved to

636
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 6: the UK as a kid, so like those were the

637
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 6: first sort of songs that I was listening to in

638
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 6: the car with my parents, like driving around.

639
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 5: So what was that on top of the pop of

640
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 5: the yeah one like.

641
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 6: Radio, yeah, like all of those radio stations. And it

642
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 6: actually like I had a full circle moment last year

643
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 6: because I got to go and talk about bossing on

644
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 6: Kiss and I was like, oh, I would have heard

645
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: you know, Daniel Beddingfield and Craig Davis kiss when I

646
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 6: was a kid, So then to have my own, you know,

647
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 6: two step song that's being played on Kiss, I was

648
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 6: like just mind blowing. But yeah, that's a really nostalgic

649
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 6: like era for me, and a really nostalgic sound and

650
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 6: a lot of that like Ripop is a big influence

651
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 6: on me as well, like Sugar Babes and.

652
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to be doing the rest of the day.

653
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I had a recent like rewind

654
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 7: of like even Spice Girls and like, I don't know

655
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 7: all these girls.

656
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 3: Were in their.

657
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 6: Song you know, the Superstar by Jamilla. Yeah, yeah, that

658
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 6: sound is really like my childhood. Yeah.

659
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 5: I think that's what I love about TikTok as well,

660
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 5: because all those sounds come back like, yeah, someone to

661
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 5: do it, real about it, remember that song and then

662
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 5: the researcher and I think even some songs are coming

663
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,560

670
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 4: hysteria like you, because you're like combined hysterically laughing with

671
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,600

Speaker 4: is so uniquely yours. And then the fashions, I mean

675
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,120

676
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 4: in your music videos and you know, so just really

677

Speaker 6: straight after that, and it's almost I guess it's kind

693
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 6: of my little send off to the Rabina era, just

694
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 6: putting the lid back on and putting it back in

695
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 6: the fridge for a little bit. Yeah, I started writing

696
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 6: an album which has been big and scary and wonderful

697
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 6: and exciting, but again just like another iteration of myself

698
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,560

00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,160

709
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,680

710
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,800

00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 5: who has all these cultures within you, it's just a

716

Speaker 5: positive space.

717
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,719

718
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I belong anywhere.

719
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,120

720
