It was 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.160 it was real fun. Actually I got a good couple 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:16.320 of scoops out of her. She went to a celebrity's 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:18.759 house in LA like a big Hollywood Hills party and 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:20.479 left midway through because she was over it. 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:21.640 And when I had fast food. She's a bit of 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:22.919 an introvert, Yeah, she is. 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:24.919 It was a good story in that I, speaking of 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.080 fast food, I got out of her what her favorite 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:28.080 fast food restaurant is. 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:29.560 And it's gonna get me brownie points. 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:31.560 You did tell me in our full show that you 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.639 plugged a red Ruther and you spoke about that with her. 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.400 Thank god.

She kept referring to me by name, 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.560 like Mitch. That's a good question, you know, when like 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:21.240 someone does that. 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.360 I don't have that skill. I suck at that.

I don't know why 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.560 you need them, but I'm supportive. I'll give you what 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:38.040 you needed. 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.359 You know, yeah, no, And I love someone that has 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:41.520 everything just in case. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.360 Exactly one of those trench coats just full of anything 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:45.720 you need, buttle of tequila. 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:46.839 I got to your bag. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.480 Oh shit, dude, I honestly have to say congratulations on 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.240 everything that has happened to you. I don't even normally 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.000 when people come on, I can list it because you know, 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.080 there's a there's a ten second list. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.960 But there's a bloody bible for you. You've done everything. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.480 Thank you. Yeah, I know. I don't even know. It's crazy. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.600 It's just all happened so quickly. It's you know, it's 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.920 it's such a crazy thing that has happened. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.280 Yeah, it is crazy, isn't it. Do you almost think 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.680 like it's not happened? Like do you ever think it's 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.080 a dream or do you ever wake up and go 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.200 it come on? Like it's got to end now, like 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:25.480 because it just hasn't stopped. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.800 Yeah, I do. I do think that. I think that 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.880 it's you know, I feel like that about the world, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.520 but not Australia. Like I feel like Australia have supported 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.720 me through Busking, through Johnny run Away, through Dance Monkey, 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.080 through and Neverthing, the Rain, the EP now Bad Child, 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.480 Like I feel like Australia is home and that's the 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.840 place where you know, I'm an artist around me around 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.720 the world. You know what, A lot of people come 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.520 to my shows thinking dance Monkey, Okay, I want to 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.280 hear other stuff and have no idea that I a 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.000 will play an instrument, you know, different over there. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.920 I think that's the Aussie spirit though. We love an underdog. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.000 We love watching someone come from nothing, not saying you're 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.320 at nothing, but someone come from the bottom to the top. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.760 And that's what you've done. Like that is the epitome 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.080 of like an Aussie icon. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.320 Like we love that in artists, and I think I 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.479 think that's why everyone loves you so much and loves 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.120 your music, because they can see the journey and they 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.360 can hear it in your music. I mean, dance Monkey, 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.120 I could do it whole interview on but I mean 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.480 that's old stuff. Now Bad Child Times is, Oh my god, 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.599 I think it's better than dance Monkey. You must be 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.120 happy with how that's doing, like getting airplay. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:39.520 And I'm just happy that. The main thing is that 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.159 that really makes me happy is that, like I finally 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.040 released a song that's vulnerable and it's about me, and 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.920 I've opened myself up more instead of hiding behind other 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.760 names like Jimmy and Johnny and all this stuff, you know, 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.400 Like I think I made the decision to release this song. 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.520 It was very hesitant. I never thought I would, but 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.400 then when I made that decision, I was like, I'm 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.880 going to do it. And I think that the way 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.440 that people take that and support that is huge for 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.320 me because first of all, like I produced that track, 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.880 ninety nine percent was all on my own. I sent 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.240 it to a producer to get it cleaned up and 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.040 ready for radio. But I mean, I'm starting to produce 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.720 my own music from the kids are coming to now 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.760 and can't be happy all the time, and that's so 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.880 huge for me, you know. So I think that, like, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.000 you know, to see the support when you really put 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.440 extra effort into something and it's very vulnerable for you 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:32.760 and you're nervous, you know, that's that really matters to someone. 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.360 So like you. How long have you been writing music 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:35.920 and performing? 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.600 Well, I've always sung in the shower, but I've never 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.200 had a lesson or anything. Like I always played basketball 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.760 growing up. Yeah, I would say I probably. I used 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.839 to play at like pubs and clubs. Some people, like 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.440 say Tones and Eyes completely skipped the pub scene, which 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.200 all Ausius dude, no no, no, no. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.159 You're like, I've had thrown at me, thank you very much. 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.000 I know the smell of cigarettes and sandy. 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.440 I've had all. I've had all the public pubs experiences. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.760 But when I realized, which a lot of people either 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.839 do and don't want to do it or just don't realize, 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.640 that that wasn't enough if you really want something, I 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.400 went to busking and I think that's the new Aussie 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.360 experience now anyway, Like we've got so many amazing buskers 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.159 that come from Australia that like get that support and 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.919 blow up. You know how it is when you're in 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.600 other countries they do not care about buskers. When I'm 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.600 in America, they don't even know what bucking is. They 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.680 call it street performing and they think it's like the 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:40.840 lowest of the low homeless cost. Yeah, so it's like 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.800 like you know, homeless people tapping on the pavement with sticks, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.159 Like they don't even realize the culture that we have 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.520 in Australia. It's amazing, Like we're so lucky. And I think, 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.000 like I've been doing that probably all up like pubs 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.360 and busting for about four five years maybe my god, see. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.600 And you're so right the amount of times I've been 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.160 to pitt Street in the middle of Sydney and all 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.000 at Chapel Street down in Melbourne and there's been a. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.040 Busker that's got me stopped. Like I stopped and I go, 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.200 who is this? I need to know? You're right? We 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:10.840 have such good quality on our streets. 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.720 Yeah, and I think they were. The mindset behind busker 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.880 is is like I have to get out there and 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.720 I don't know how, so I'm going to put myself 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.600 in the middle of a bunch of people that don't 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.480 know who I am. It's so nerve racking, But this 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.640 is how much I love what I do. And I 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.000 think that no matter even if you don't you don't 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.280 like what they're sharing, it's not your taste, Like that's 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:35.320 something to be appreciated already before before even deciding that 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.840 all of a sudden, oh well they're really talented as well, 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.840 or whatever you think about busk is you know, just 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.720 to do that. So I remember my first time it 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.520 was so scary, and even up to my almost my 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.040 last time, it's always scary. Actually, I always was nervous. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:51.520 Yeah, do you cringe? 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.600 Like I've seen videos come up in the last couple 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.679 of weeks tones and eye busking tones and I busking 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:56.440 before she was big. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.440 Do you cringe looking at that? Or are you like no, man, 0:07:58.480 --> 0:07:59.360 that's what got me here. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.560 I'm just really proud of myself. I actually look at 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.480 that video. I saw that video, you know the other 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.040 day I popped up on my new speed and I 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.800 thought to myself, like shit, like looking at my youngest self, 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:20.080 going you actually had no idea, like if I could 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.920 talk to you now, if I could look at you 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.920 right now, and on that video when I'm busking, that 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.000 was the night I wrote dance Monkey about that's so 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.160 strange because that was the night someone knocked over my 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.520 keyboard stole my money. That was the night and looking 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.800 back on the how dislated someone can feel, and then going, fuck, 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.120 I wish I could talk to you now. You have 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.960 no idea. Sometimes I have a look at like I 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.880 try and look back on my past or whatever. I 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.200 printed out a lot of photos from last year just 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.560 to like have some memories of what's been going on, 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.360 and I looked at them and I went, you know, 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.600 I never thought this was going to happen. And when 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.080 I see those busking videos, I'm like, shit, keep going 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.920 because like you know it's gonna work. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.280 Now, that's what I want to talk about. Like, it 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.920 must just be nuts. I think I read an article 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.600 and it was praising you. It was an Aussie article, 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.160 or you're going to get a lot of love from 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.800 Ozzie prayers. But this article was like tones and I 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.800 invited to this Hollywood Hills mansion party. We took her 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.920 best friend and then like hated it, left and got 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.400 KFC in her apartment. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.599 If that happened, is that true? 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.240 It's very similar to true. So we went to the party. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.040 Me and my friend Abs were both pretty bogany, and 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.200 then everyone was just really snooty. We didn't like it, 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.080 so we went back to our hotel room and we 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.800 got Jenny's. I don't even know they have KFC. We 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.760 got Denny's, which is like a diner, and watched Netflix 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.760 and just yeah, we're pretty much the same. So we 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.760 didn't get KFC. Here is like a side note, I 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.880 don't like KFC. No one knows, but really, I guess 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.480 they assume because I'm an Aussie. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.720 I guess they're all, OK, you're not into Wicked Wings. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.960 No, I just I don't know why. It's just sometimes 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.640 it's Harry, Yes, what you mean? 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.800 Exactly what you mean? What's your meaning of choice? 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.600 Are you like a snack wrap at macas or like 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.400 a what do you fill of the fish? 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:13.959 If I had to eat takeaway, okay, i'd probably get 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:14.560 red rooster. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.160 Oh my god, you're my girl, like your half chicken 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.160 roll or full chicken roll. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.720 Let's be real, like if you're going to get takeaway, 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.920 like why would you go half? Because I don't get 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.840 takeaway all the time. So if you're gonna do it, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.319 like you're gotta do it. You know. It's like when 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.880 you're hungover and you're like, right, oh guys ordering Uber Eats. 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.160 Tell all your roommates do breach day today.

Everyone makes mistakes. We're children, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.400 we're young, like, you know, I feel like in school, 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.080 I would never harbor anything that happened to me in school. 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.680 And there's a lot of people that I knew from 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.240 school that I've known since then that have changed. And 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.840 myself has changed so much since school. So the way 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:21.480 I see this is like since anything from high school 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.720 and beyond is you know, we're all learning, we're all 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.520 trying to figure out who we are. And I have 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.880 a little brother, and I know what it's like to 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.280 be that age, and I think that it's important to 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.800 remember that people change. Otherwise we're all going to look 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.520 at each other like we're fetuses for the rest of 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.600 our lives because we all. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.720 Oh my god, now let's talk about new music very quickly. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.040 So obviously dance Monkey is huge. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:44.520 We loved it. 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.440 That's what got That's what got the name Tones and 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.920 I in our minds Bad Child's Out, We love that. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.520 I love Johnny Runaway, can't be happy all the time 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.000 is around, is all sort of bubbling over all. These 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.520 tracks got a feature on your debut album coming this year. 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.839 Well, I was gonna the first two songs off the 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.400 album was going to be Bad Child and Can't Be 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.240 Happy all the time. But now that I have this 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.400 time off, I was kind of almost going to keep 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.640 them as singles and write new songs for the album. Yeah, 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.199 because it's just I've got so much more time off 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:17.880 than I thought I would have, and I was meant 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.559 to be writing this album while I was on tour. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.800 So now it's hard to me because every time I 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.600 write music, by the time I get to the end 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.800 of the album, I'm like the first few songs I 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.360 wrote that I love, I'm like, nah, I hate him. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.439 Now I'm used to them, and then I want to 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.800 write new song. He keeps happening, So it's really hard. 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.240 Did you have that feeling with Dance Monkey or Bad 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.319 Child like you Did you ever get over those songs 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.640 or did you know, like, nah, there's something here that 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:42.720 is special. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.120 I I Danced Monkey, I didn't because it was doing 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:52.000 some crazy, crazy, out of this world things without a release, 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.120 like the thing that song did in Byron Bay, a 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.520 town like just to bring people together were crazier. I 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.560 was so excited for that song. But Bad Child Can't 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.440 Be Happy. No, I could still listen to Can't Be 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.200 Happy all the time. I listened to it before before 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.760 the phone call. Actually, it's definitely a song I wrote 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.240 for myself when I never intended to release that, so 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.480 vulnerable of me to write like that that, you know, 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.000 when I did release it, I feel like, you know, 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.160 proud when I listened to it, and I do love 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.320 the song. I love performing it. So that's like a 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:23.760 song that I will listen to you because I wrote 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.320 it for myself when I get down or whatever. So 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.719 I tended to listen to it and sing it all 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.560 the time for myself. And now it's out there in 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.400 the world. I can listen to it, you know, on 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.000 Spotify when I want to. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.280 Yeah, I love that. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.160 What about like when Ozzie artists dropped their albums and 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.240 we love all the artists, but then they often struggle 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.800 to get the big international names to do covers or 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.720 to do features. We live in our little Aussie music 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.079 bubble here and down under. But now you're an international name. 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.679 People know who you are in and out of LA 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.040 I can only imagine are there big names that have 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.600 approached you or you're like trying to approach to get 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.000 on the album? 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.920 Well, I actually had this rule. No Colloud I've been 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.319 offered some collaborations with some amazing artists that I would 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.320 like to collab with, but I really wanted to do 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.000 work on my own first. I wanted to have like 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.400 a big body of work that I've done on my 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.440 own to prove more. Like I just feel like I 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.120 know that, you know, dance Monkey's gone big and stuff, 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.120 but it's so important to me that I still haven't 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.800 figured out really what's going on inside my head sometimes, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.400 and I just need to figure it out on my 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.560 own before I'm like, okay, I'm ready. Like I met 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.520 up with Maclamore. He's obviously my favorite artist, and we 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.440 wrote two tracks together, and he's the first person I've 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.960 ever collabed with because obviously he's my favorite artist of 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.640 all times. So to get asked. He just surprised me 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.920 at my show backstage and then stayed for the show. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.480 Wasn't meant to be working on songs, And then the 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.960 next day he called and was like, I want you 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:48.880 to come work with me on some songs, like he 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.440 really wanted to be on Can't Be Happy All the Time, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.120 and I was like, that song's about like it's finished, 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.080 it's going to be released soon because that song's been 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.160 obviously finished for a while. But you know, then we 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:00.760 wrote some songs to again, and I was like, it's 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.680 definitely Macamare, Like I want him to be my first collaboration. 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.200 So we've written through songs together and I feel as though, 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.560 like you know that, that to me is just like 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.440 the biggest goal, Like where do I go from there? 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:13.600 Like he's my favorite artist. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.320 Imagine imagine if he wanted to come record at your house. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.640 You're like, sure, let me take the Macamore posters down, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.120 give you ten minutes and you can come. 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.560 All the posts of you.

Like, 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.040 is I just a standard celebrity or someone that you've 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.640 met that you're like, oh, yeah, I'm cool. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:46.400 Now, well I would have to say I have to 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.760 pay the respect to this person. Obviously. I met Sir 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.240 Elton John and he did an interview with me on 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:56.960 his Rocket Hour BBC radio Apple Yeah, Apple Music, Sorry, 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.320 Rocket Hour show, And you know and the and I 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.160 loved Elton John so much. And something I never knew 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.000 about him until now is he's pretty much based this 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.920 whole radio show around discovering new artists that he's inspired by. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.920 And not only did he meet up with me and 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.080 you know, Winston surf Shirt, but also like he asked 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.840 us what up and coming artists we like and he 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.360 and obviously I said Adrian Eagle. Everyone knows I love 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.080 Adrian Eagle. He then played Adrian Eagle on his show 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.120 for the whole next week. Oh my god, it's just 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:31.800 amazing and I just loved that. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:32.760 Aar rut. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.160 Now quickly to and before we go, I'm I'm being 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:39.000 rushed off the Grammys. People are saying Dance Monkey's pegged 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.440 for a Grammy next year or this year, nomination this 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.040 year for next year.
