3:22
buddy of mine We haven't we hadn't spoken
3:24
in years. He was like, hey, there's a
3:27
dude wants to do a podcast I was like, I don't do
3:29
interviews that don't know I'm good. Then like I was telling you
3:31
yesterday like Some sort of like thing
3:34
in my mind was like, hey, at least go
3:36
check it out or something and I immediately saw
3:38
I Was telling you
3:40
yesterday not to just throw the compliments everywhere and
3:42
be fake about it. This is not genuine. It's like
3:44
I think you're it's
3:47
over for a lot of Outlets
3:50
and I think you're bringing something
3:52
that I
3:54
just think a lot of normal people that don't
3:56
necessarily need the electricity of we'll catch them in
3:58
this statement and we'll get that you're doing
4:00
something much different and seeing how you operated
4:02
with Tate or whoever as I was
4:04
asked to do this I was like wow
4:07
that's somebody that I would enjoy having a conversation with.
4:09
Dude honored yeah it's like super honored and
4:11
like again like not again we're not throwing out
4:13
the compliments just painting the picture of how we
4:15
met it's just it's a it's a really really
4:17
really crazy thing to go from like sitting there
4:19
watching you and be like I wonder if we're
4:21
ever gonna work together and hearing that compliment it's
4:23
just God's God's uh his plans
4:26
were really set in stone and I'm glad and
4:28
I'm super blessed but
4:30
I would love to jump to to your beginning because if
4:33
for some reason somebody doesn't know who John
4:35
Bellion is I want to by the end
4:37
of this episode I want them to know
4:40
everything about you. It's been six years since
4:43
the last time you released original music but
4:46
in the meantime you've just been dropping hits
4:48
after hits. By the way I've never heard
4:50
anybody say yeah I've been gone for a
4:53
while but yeah I've got a few blacks
4:55
and every single awards but they're
4:57
not mine I just created them and
5:00
then I go oh that's so cool and then
5:03
there's like a whole catalog of the things that
5:05
you created that your name's not even on and
5:07
I was like Jesus Christ like you are literally
5:09
like a heavy hitter at a different frequency. Oh
5:12
man thank you. Where did you start? Let's
5:15
just take it all the way back from
5:17
the beginning. Where did you even find out
5:19
you wanted to do music? How did you
5:21
get started? Who inspired you? Where
5:24
did you? I think I might have been
5:27
seven or eight my brother brought home a Triton keyboard
5:29
like he just bought it. My brother could play the
5:31
piano really well and
5:33
he was making beats on it and he's 10 years older than me so
5:35
anything he did was the coolest thing in the world. So it
5:38
just basically I watched him make beats and watch him make beats watch
5:40
him make beats and he'd be like yo don't touch this while I'm
5:42
gone don't touch this while I go to work so it was like
5:44
every time he left I'd like sneaking the room in the dark and
5:46
like I'm making beats on it. I'd record it on like a little
5:48
tape recorder and bring it to school play in the lunch room and
5:51
whatever so that's just kind of how it all started. I think
5:53
it was because my brother made music so I was like that's
5:55
what I'm gonna do because he's 10 years old than me like
5:57
I'm like whatever he does I'm doing. He plays basketball I'm playing
5:59
basketball. He makes beats on me and by the way, he's very
6:01
good at basketball This
6:04
is a best man, I'm only talking to
6:06
you guys I
6:09
did not know that I talked a lot
6:11
of shit. I actually sent him a meme
6:14
cut the clip of I
6:17
really I sent him ankle wraps. I said
6:19
here bring this when you play me Turns
6:24
out I should bring them when I play with this
6:27
I think when you have a basketball court in your backyard, you know,
6:29
he's probably out there a lot, you know I'll
6:34
get my I'll get my my game back. I
6:36
love it regardless Okay, so you have a bit
6:39
of water from anybody. I'm getting
6:41
that like nervous dry thing. You should
6:43
you shouldn't you should Make
6:46
this your home All
6:50
right, so your brother got you into it when did you
6:52
start taking it seriously like okay So yeah, you you by
6:54
the way, that makes a lot of sense why you started
6:56
with drums, right? Cuz that's a drum pad. Yes, it
6:59
has a drum pad on it Yeah, and you're if
7:01
you watch John in the studio He was docking the
7:04
way that you had these drums you like to go
7:06
in and out of the pocket So you follow this
7:08
rhythm and I liked it just from
7:10
a like an aspect of a dancer I love the
7:12
way you were going in and out of the pocket
7:15
So did you start with drums and then you were
7:17
like, oh, I'm just gonna create beats like I'm
7:19
like Kanye I'm gonna create beats, but I'm also
7:21
gonna sing on it or were you into writing
7:24
music? When did that because bro like you've
7:26
written? Ridiculous ridiculous music
7:29
and I don't know if anybody's ever gotten
7:31
into writing music if you write one hit
7:33
song We'll talk about the naj right? I
7:35
look at the naj as one of the
7:37
most talented human beings I've ever met but
7:40
his catalog is nowhere
7:42
near yours, but I still look at his
7:44
like that's Incredible Life
7:48
super town is incredible for you to be able to
7:50
just keep doing that every time you go up to
7:52
bat, bro Like I'm a huge Jonas Brothers fan the
7:54
last album that they had was incredible when I was
7:56
on stage or when they're on stage I turned to
7:58
Bella and I was like man This is really good.
8:00
They came they came swinging and they're like we
8:02
got help from John Bellion. I go now I
8:04
know why Okay, so you're
8:07
able to go and let's let's give like the
8:09
Jonas Brothers is an example, right? You're able to
8:11
listen to them and say okay cool now I'm
8:13
gonna take what you're creating and I'm gonna run
8:16
it with this direction and you You
8:18
were telling me you would put on a cowboy
8:20
hat and you would you have a must and
8:22
you get into this character, bro That's a huge
8:24
difference from sneaking into your brother's room playing on
8:27
a drum like it Your where does
8:29
your fuel come from where did the the aspect
8:31
of you being like, okay cool Like no one's
8:33
ever said it like this or done it like
8:35
this and I'm gonna create it like this Was
8:38
it purposeful or just accidental? Yeah, I'm telling you.
8:40
I think it's just I Think
8:42
God planted a desire to do it all the time
8:44
and I and every day that I do it. She's
8:47
funny I'm already getting emotional. Like I haven't done any of
8:49
you a long time. Just I get to do this every
8:51
day Can you do me one favor? Yeah Yeah,
8:54
absolutely You get to do this every
8:56
day. That's all I'm doing I'm just
8:58
doing this every day over and over
9:00
and over and over and over It's
9:03
like even when I was an artist or even
9:05
now It's just like it's like the recognition and the
9:07
thing is like I battle with that It's like when do
9:09
you talk or when do you just get the job done?
9:12
Or when do you go and promote yourself to remain relevant
9:14
to do it? But in the meantime, I'm just I'm just
9:16
having a blast. I'm having a blast. I work. I
9:18
got my sons upstairs I got my wife. I live here
9:20
play ball come in and I make music every day I
9:22
make music every day and the
9:25
idea of getting better and better and doing it
9:27
over and over and over is like Like
9:29
you said the idea with the Jonas Brothers was like Them
9:32
approaching me. I never thought that do
9:34
you have any ideas of what it could be and yeah Like
9:37
we could change we could change the whole sound of what you guys
9:39
do Whether they want to follow through and
9:41
whether it becomes they burn the bridge of the old stuff
9:43
and want to move forward It's like oh my gosh. I
9:45
have an opportunity to like work with One
9:48
of the fabrics in culture one of the threads
9:50
in culture It's like wow that's you put on
9:52
an American jacket the Jonas Brothers are a thread
9:54
in that jacket So if that thread was to
9:56
make a different color than it ever has before
9:58
I could be the one one to shoot a
10:00
ripple out into culture or whatever to change that. It's
10:03
like, and whether it's commercially successful or if this, and
10:05
people think that Jones Brothers is supposed to be a
10:07
way that they can't make a song like vacation eyes
10:09
or song like walls or whatever. You come to me,
10:11
if you, if people say you can't like be something
10:13
I want to, sorry, I get passionate.
10:16
People say you want to, you can't be
10:18
something that I want to be the guy to come to because
10:20
I'm not, let's, let's do it. Yeah. And
10:22
I've been that way forever. Cause it's just like, man, we
10:24
have the opportunity to make anything at any point at any
10:26
time. We don't have to follow, we don't have to follow
10:29
anything. So I think I'm just, I'm just doing that every
10:31
day. It's not even like I'm like, I'm going to have
10:33
hits every day. Cause you drop a, you drop a record and
10:35
culture either takes it or it doesn't. So you just have to
10:37
enjoy, which if I wasn't enjoying what I was doing or making
10:39
stuff that I didn't think was great, it's
10:41
literally, what are we doing here? If I was worried about
10:44
the way that it was going to take. So
10:46
to answer your question, what happened from me making beats
10:48
to the
10:50
beaver or the Jones brothers or John
10:53
Batiste or Quincy Jones or people have,
10:55
there is, there are people I've worked with, whatever that, that
10:57
whole span is just like, Oh my gosh, I get to
10:59
go, I get to go do that. Were you ever nervous
11:01
working with these type of artists? Like, was there ever a
11:03
beginning as a young, as a young man, you were like,
11:05
Oh man, like I got to like, I
11:09
was in the studio with CeeLo Green and Narl's Barkley
11:11
was like one of my, like, it's just like a
11:13
palette of inspiration for me. I'm just like, wow. It
11:15
was very soulful. Oh my God. I know his, his
11:17
vocal ability is just ridiculous. And I had my computer
11:19
set up and he was like, you just
11:22
like, and he didn't, I think he's one of the best
11:24
artists like ever. So it's like being
11:27
with him as a young man. You idolize people. So
11:29
then you think it's different than what it is. And
11:31
then you get a little more data this time goes
11:33
on because you take the curtain off the wizard of
11:35
odd. You realize it's a whole, we'll get into that.
11:37
Cause I want to, I want to follow that journey
11:39
cause that's really cool. And also I love your heart.
11:41
So like you see a lot of people in the
11:43
industry when they're at the level that you're at in
11:45
their field, they get bitter because
11:47
they're tired of like the atmosphere and it's
11:50
really cool. I don't think you are, man.
11:52
I don't think you're bitter. Your Passion. And like your love,
11:54
your genuineness and the way that you, I mean, you just
11:56
start talking about your passion, but will you love to do?
11:58
You get choked up and that shows. Inequality Music
12:00
the you make I mean all the
12:02
song the way for all these other
12:04
incredible are innocent young the you write
12:06
for yourself the quality music and lyrics
12:08
you can hear and feel your passion.
12:10
They you got big I prefer you for
12:12
himself was new feel like they cannot live
12:15
without a are we allowed to speak about
12:17
any additional stuff as you're working as a
12:19
lot before we get a because I'm so
12:21
excited to dive into the Ansari are among
12:23
the my to do you ever create stuff.
12:27
Like. In a perspective where you're
12:29
like, okay, I'm ready for so and so but
12:32
who. This is my song. I'm going to
12:34
give it a them or and you rights of
12:36
the for you like this is not mine. This
12:38
is for sewn So yeah despite what does that
12:40
feel like requests but vote For the last six
12:42
years and seven years there has been to. Vegas.
12:45
To like this is the time to talk about this
12:47
has been. it's a process that long enough and I
12:49
can kind of like generally announced what really happened and
12:51
whatever but I've always phone and I love with the
12:53
idea of peep of notoriety and whatever so being in
12:56
ours was always have a battle for me it was
12:58
some sort of like weird like. Fight.
13:01
Or something to that degree. But. Basically.
13:03
When. I. Got to replace in my career we
13:05
sold our ten thousand people who jones be singing was
13:07
it was like the height of everything for me and
13:09
it was right around the time I figured out how
13:11
my live nations contract works and was right around time
13:13
I figured out how my record your actually worked at
13:16
how them a you feel. Oh. Man it's
13:18
a was like panic attacks it was like oh my
13:20
gosh of a plus beagle see like I'm never going
13:22
to pay this back and will be on a road.
13:25
Eleven months a year just front of a best
13:27
we can get into that had also like this
13:29
and phrase you can think about a year at
13:31
that the at the very very top. But then
13:33
there's a saying that people to understand it's the
13:35
business part of it and live Nation and live
13:38
nation is. That. They're they're they're going.
13:40
told they're getting everybody com and twelve way for us
13:42
to that we can get into that and that's what
13:44
I'm are you would live nation not I peed myself
13:46
out of the deal and the had to pay twenty
13:48
five percent extra on what they advanced me. But it's
13:51
like when you figure that out on the road and
13:53
you're thinking man's why don't we buy. Why?
13:55
Did we buy three hundred rolls of toilet paper? Why?
13:58
Do we have to? get? Then this
14:00
much on catering everyday no one's eating the
14:02
pizza, were throwing out pot would. Wheezing.
14:04
What him a contract says is that their monies us and
14:07
this much on catering and it comes out of my pocket
14:09
now. but then I have to pay in advance back. And
14:11
by the way, the advanced as you have to give me. Is.
14:14
Only on hard ticket sales so cause of
14:16
called peanuts, parking and alcohol. So when I
14:18
sell outs and thousand people a Jones beach.
14:21
The. Person who buys a twenty dollar Hawthorne? I don't see
14:23
a dime of that. The person who buys. Forty.
14:25
Hours for parking. I don't see a dime of that.
14:27
and the person who buys a twenty dollar Voc in
14:29
Red Bull I don't see a dime of that. And
14:31
then you advance me a million dollars and tell me
14:33
I'm rich to then find out that you're making four
14:35
million dollars a night. and I'm It takes me thirty
14:38
six shows to pay back the one million dollars you
14:40
advancement. Is. It alone. it's all
14:42
it's I say. it's a fake loans that
14:44
is. It's like we're We're gonna give you
14:46
alone so you can make our money off
14:48
of your creation. yes on buffy effect And
14:50
then it hit me. Oh my gosh the
14:52
they own all the then use as a
14:54
monopoly So the now they just want my
14:56
body in this room so they can sell
14:58
food and alcohol and whatever. So then they're
15:01
going to make times of money and then
15:03
they got me like slip and around the
15:05
United States. Talk about will be famous. Been
15:07
on Instagram trying to be this that month
15:09
or so When you figure that out. And
15:11
at the time is right When I first got with my
15:13
wife was having panic attacks and say wait a second. With.
15:17
Joe smoke his twenty dollar for a hotdog and
15:19
I don't see that. And if I'm only making
15:22
my best back on hard ticket sales, that means
15:24
I have to sell out every single venue in
15:26
order to not go in the red because I'm
15:28
only paying my advanced that on hard ticket sales.
15:30
And by the way, they reserve the right in
15:32
the contract to put the tickets on sale. So
15:35
when it's one hundred dollars a ticket, they do
15:37
their summer blowout sales. The tickets are only ten
15:39
dollars. So. Instead of me paying
15:41
back ninety dollars a ticket right before his or
15:43
not or the drop zone billion sale in the
15:46
tickets are only ten dollars. We.
15:48
Get into it is buzzing. You have to pay back the
15:50
million dollars they gave you off of ten dollars to get
15:52
rather than the named you. They told you that we're gonna
15:55
sell the tickets for that. Now you're doing arenas, now you're
15:57
doing bigger shows. And. They're like a gutsy common
15:59
pool sensitive. And your fellow building was
16:01
when he found all this out where you in the
16:03
middle of a tour? Real still. Had out I was in
16:05
the middle of a of a breakdown of in the middle of
16:07
like, or. Oh. My
16:10
god and then I'm like if that's the case
16:12
what is my record cause I would like one
16:14
of my publishing com to have you know money
16:16

16:22
kid with that only knows the lawyer in his
16:24
neighborhood That said. That when I
16:27
was paid ten thousand dollars when I found my
16:29
first posing deal, I thought I was rich forever.
16:31
You know this? I think that's the idea. I
16:33
think there's there's some whatever. Are going
16:35
to be some like zillion? This is the matrix
16:37
thing but like there is a group of people
16:39
that wait to prey on new ideas that are
16:42
coming from natural places to then put a amount
16:44
of front of you that is the most you've
16:46
ever seen your life and you're not realizing what
16:48
does this mean? Rama noodles every night you can
16:50
give me ten grand's make this when I was
16:52
sonam for a five dollars a pop. Like.
16:55

17:14
it's not good, that means are gods not done
17:17
with. Jackson says it as I'm so obsessed with
17:19
so far off because is so much information. But
17:21

17:23
for. Or to. Make
17:25
a record for because the hit the
17:28

17:36
of regulated organisers on. It
17:39

I I I'm talking to in the studio was
21:23
by the way the first time we ever met
21:25

21:27
we got deep emotional. Some like. When.
21:29
In that bed just. It is not

21:38
daughter go out a slap you in
21:40
the series. With
21:44
of guys I saw the share some behind the
21:46
scenes stuff because I do a fuck about sponsored
21:48
by my side the was a show you guys
21:50
that is what I used as a we just
21:52
came from L a Zo services and will rise
21:55
you're relaxing down job you has the gear set
21:57
up the roof set of everything from astronomical the
21:59
government whoever so the has talking about the media's
22:01
to hide a lot of brain fog because like
22:03
I just got done the car wreck to hear
22:05
the and I have all these things I have
22:07
to go through in my head and was does
22:09
how we got out of this is lines rain
22:11
from life cycle I just regulated Zebra mcconnell I
22:13
just kind of just such a seminar but they
22:16
usually do puzzles and like apple juice is the
22:18
put in your chassis to see have a coffee
22:20
but if you have to go to work and
22:22
clear some brain fog to just just or is
22:24
this bad boy our daughter the whole thing as
22:26
as as you have the whole thing if you
22:28
really want to try lion's mane. I hide
22:30
behind this thing is an animal for
22:32
product search. Drag it out. I do.
22:35
Dog is perspective and I saw that
22:37
you were put through a storm and
22:39
God was testing you and you have
22:41
to go through drops to be. And
22:43
then he showed me your new music.
22:45
You got you got they got to
22:47
hear it and I'm sitting here and
22:49
as I'm hearing this bro like. Goosebumps.
22:52
Through my spine I'm washing bell sob.
22:54
I cried already. I already knew what
22:57
was happening. The roof, The music was
22:59
like. It. So unbelievably at
23:01
a different level. Think.actually. we recorded every
23:03
moment of it because I think the
23:05
the most special part about being in
23:08
a studio with an audience and not
23:10
an audience. Or. The artist
23:12
and is that you get to shows with
23:14
your cooking in the kitchen and sometimes the
23:16
recipes and done yet is sometimes you're like
23:18
oh here but picture this as and I
23:20
we captured all of it. So when your
23:22
music that new drops they get to sit
23:24
in the studio watch you talk about a
23:26
lover that. Is something that a I
23:28
wish everybody. Got to experience with their
23:30
favorite artist and the love watching you
23:33
and your passionately expressing what you had
23:35
to go through to make this song.
23:38
I was like good. Yeah. I'm glad Gopal
23:40
Zones! All the new stuff is very reflective
23:42
of like eating my psyche starts the lyrics
23:45
or whatever. It's. Just started.
23:47
To. Just started popping out like this. One.
23:49
The records Just like. Very
23:52
gonna wake up Bobby A wake up wake up
23:54
Like what? What happens when it ways that don't
23:56
let them. Take you out of the don't
23:58
wake up you know? Forever. That's. Whedon
24:00
and are going on. I was going to drop
24:02
in or whatever but it's worth Bro like. This
24:04
is how I explain it. a shot at a
24:06
cure. He just he just passed away. He was
24:08
the creator of Dragon Ball Z my favorite. Our
24:10
enemy grown up like was on. That
24:14
Ceiling. And. Only people that
24:16
watch Dragon Ball Z would understand the
24:18
ceiling hearing that song. Sell.
24:21
To sensation of when you watch that character
24:23
try to beat up his enemy. and he
24:25
couldn't. He couldn't. He couldn't. He couldn't. He
24:27
couldn't It's everybody thinks she's down for the
24:29
count. And. Then there is a
24:31
spirit and him that grow so much stronger
24:33
than the elements around on that when the
24:35
enemy punches on and it just doesn't even
24:37
go see any any looking at him and
24:39
he smiles because he knows that an enemy's
24:41
not even on islam when he more that
24:43
he just when it's just like a that
24:45
part of the the goose well known us
24:47
that is what I stopped listening to your
24:49
song own personality. Lab burst of energy. To
24:52
never wanna be the guy that. We.
24:56
Don't want to be the anger guy that burns the
24:58
house doubt isn't an early says not does not my
25:00
that's not my new got to be that guy. but
25:02
you carrier and I am when you say. Taken.
25:05
Scream as they will. This is why this is
25:07
a i'm not putting out music in this. enough
25:09
with the com and aneurysm is as. For.
25:11
Sold for so long, not addressing it or not. whatever
25:14
because I just wanted to make music so was like
25:16
a man. As bother as
25:18
a leader as whatever like or I could
25:20
complain about it and turn it into all
25:22
thing or. Drop on
25:24
Not Bombs of Wreckers that by the time that
25:27
they say you know what, it's more worth for
25:29
us to give you your masters back. Only have
25:31
a little small piece of you so we can
25:33
tell people you're on our labeling releasing new music.
25:35
We'd rather do that and you be dormant as
25:38
I will. I'm going up and the have to
25:40
be a long climb of. Commercially
25:42
successful records and big records in his letter
25:44
which I can control that's all got so
25:46
psyched for. You know when I was on
25:48
could have just been like nominee stay back
25:50
there so many reasons why you could as
25:52
they battle that dollars but also to needs
25:54
to be honest though, work with the contractual
25:56
thing and at the same time to say
25:58
that I also wasn't manage. And confused
26:00
and. Checking. My
26:03
social media constantly and this is the it's the
26:05
conversation we all have that we pretend doesn't happen
26:07
in every artist does it and then we still
26:09
do the same thing that we should be doing
26:12
as artist like Kendrick Lamar. be my well out
26:14
our suicidal or some says or someone being like
26:16
I was suicidal or someone being like I had
26:18
all this money and it wasn't working on how
26:20
was money and it wasn't working on how the
26:23
success in a wasn't working. the whole wasn't filled.
26:25
I was ready to kill myself. I was the
26:27
most successful and though most depressed I've ever been,
26:29
I was that that place as well. It was
26:32
almost. Like. Ma'am I'm working for nothing.
26:35
But. I. Gotta feed the beast because if
26:37
I'm not relevant than the verge of literate. So to
26:39
say that it was like I'm just walking away because
26:41
my artistry is my contract. not right number super genius.
26:43
I'm a walk away and sort of I grew up
26:46
on that. It was also to like. I.
26:48
Just got married at the time I was like man
26:50
I the focus on being a husband a to focus
26:52
on like what orient myself and see what this whole
26:54
thing means to me and my relationship with the music
26:57
and while of a so much and so there was
26:59
other self worth that went on as when mr that
27:01
be known as that's because you can I could now
27:03
now the contract been reversed like I had his master
27:05
plan that that as but it was also like i
27:07
think i need a walk away from use like either
27:10
going to just. Let. It go
27:12
of this idol or this idea that I thought I
27:14
needed to have and dust the the real has base
27:16
I was in didn't have a plan and how this
27:18
will happen in there be an avalanche of records that
27:20
were successful or whatever that I had no you know
27:22
automatic the first that a year and I did kind
27:24
of to some degree from a bottle of they would
27:26
be like. Muslims. Is not put stuff
27:28
out in the phone clicked in and I said the Mo Afflict.
27:31
Would. Just like what did I to do?
27:33
The right aerials, studies you to be a biter?
27:35
Yes, so like you don't want to like he's
27:37
come back home where you've You've planted this beautiful
27:39
garden in this kingdom and then you're like I
27:41
can afford this kingdom anymore. Yeah, there's a lot of
27:43
pride. Lot of people lived there too ashamed to
27:45
bring up their pride. But that in what I love
27:47
about. yeah, I think this is why you're so successful.
27:50
You're not scared of showing your heart. Of.
27:52
This is I feel I'm scared right here and I
27:54
think that's the reason why you figure things out is
27:56
it's the showing your heart thing is that is. Yet.
27:59
You can't. The law were doing. This is
28:01
like. I've realized that
28:03
if I know for young producer or if
28:05
a writer's listening to this is is you
28:07
speaking in a certain way but like your
28:09
heart is only thing a half. The vulnerability
28:12
of looking stupid because you listen to what
28:14
your heart were saying is only thing path
28:16
I'd rather swing a grand slams all day.
28:18
I miss you Sarkies okey says until you
28:20
know that one and you're a genius you
28:22
are this or that was like my heart
28:24
the vulnerability of like I'm just having a
28:26
blast and city or I'm trying very hard.
28:29
Ss. I'm trying very
28:31
hard. Your producer in a writer. I try hard
28:33
every day. I try hard every day I wake
28:35
up and I want to make the best thing
28:38
that moves culture. That's the biggest record. This is
28:40
this bill. I want to and I'm trying. so
28:42
if I do fail. I. Actually felt
28:44
I wasn't like. I was
28:47
a sauna home on alcohol or record does
28:49
the it's his record doesn't work it didn't
28:51
work because I failed. I'm trying super hearts
28:53
and I'm putting my heart into it was
28:55
I believe their shoes and go to culture
28:57
and is is this a passionate about as
28:59
wasn't in the acceptance of the sometimes the
29:01
things are going to fail or not work
29:03
out or whatever in the acceptance of that
29:05
a cell or last six years working for
29:07
other people and serving other artist vision. Armoury
29:10
I'm for. I fell back in love
29:12
with the thing, which then like reinvigorated
29:15
my vulnerability and. Oh. And
29:17
and I'm like. Hey, your contract back.
29:19
You can make music You should. You can rightfully
29:21
make music again is like. Oh
29:24
my gosh, now I appreciate it more because I
29:26
let it go. Which becomes is now we have
29:28
our preceding this whole thing. way more or less
29:30
of that get emotional like math. Like.
29:32
I won already. Don't tell me about seventy
29:34
houses in this Senators like I got to
29:36
take six years. Be blessed while it was
29:38
happening. Make a bunch of records for amazing
29:40
artist and talented people and support their vision.
29:43
Try to help the mountains hey this sounds
29:45
take a risk in soccer fan bases. Get
29:47
any other. I was able to
29:49
do that while. Having a
29:51
proper healthy relationship with this whole thing and
29:53
then think it go left and right. I
29:55
mean success Since the blows up doesn't do
29:57
well, it could affect me, but. This.
30:00
Lot of gratefulness of just like man so sorry
30:02
I would only the presidential but now the idea
30:04
of like showing my heart is like that Love
30:06
realize now is like I wake up and I
30:08
try I wake up and show my heart my
30:10
vulnerability. The thing to do on trying to make
30:12
the best thing that makes you have goosebumps. the
30:14

30:17
solve it doesn't work. The. Failure there.
30:19

30:49
Not going to play your game because I
30:52
do trust my god and he does have
30:54
good planes for me this reminds me of
30:56
a bible verse the i don't even know
30:58
if you really so it but you present
31:00
yourself as that characters on Jesus walking around
31:02
and is preaching and there was a blind
31:05
man and he goes use I just know.
31:07
That. If you, if you touch me I'll be healed. Diseases
31:10
spits into the dirt, makes mud, puts it
31:12
on his eyes and tells the man go
31:15
to the river and wash your face. The
31:17
here's the problem. We hear what we know
31:19
we need to do in our hearts right?
31:21
But the man is blind and he has
31:24
absolutely no idea how is going to get
31:26
to the river but he doesn't stop and
31:28
question is God and go war? What am
31:30
I going to? He's so full of faith
31:33
that he takes that step not being able
31:35
to see the step in front of him
31:37
because he truly is blind and John was
31:39
walking. Not. Being able to see. The.
31:42
Future. But you trusted in God and knowing
31:44
that you're gonna not going to feel you
31:46
he has a field you yet and so
31:48
it's so refreshing to see God's people at
31:51
the top bro in their freezer. Really appreciate
31:53
them. Very very proud of you for being.
31:55
I do wish it was as I'm. Like.
31:59
Stored book. Level the faith were what is
32:01
the the process is it is that the. Decomposition.
32:04
Of myself in a visitor that but in
32:06
enlisted grand scheme of it to see how
32:08
guys provided even in my weaknesses in even
32:10
in my moments of. Ego.
32:13
Or I'm not going the credit or my conscious.
32:15
never going to be rivers and god why do
32:17
you have me here even in those times me
32:20
saying yeah, what is the deal here this is
32:22
like that is it is a while also simultaneously
32:24
blessing me along the way with these records in
32:26
this whole thing it's been a very messy aim
32:29
at every human I phone.yeah yeah yeah I gotta
32:31
remember that I'm in Ohio is not dog if
32:33
anybody's looks at you with on sale at three
32:35
times that allergies I have no idea who that
32:38
guy has. Yes when we all. Feel him
32:40
but never fails. Are absolutely and.
32:42
Yet. It alleges it was I'm i
32:44
wish it was more storybook but it
32:46
it was very it's been it's been
32:48
a very trying. Testing.
32:51
Six years which. I
32:53
want to make that known to because again as
32:55
like you do not as bad as you don't
32:57
know where to when it happens when it when
32:59
it happens you can look back and you can
33:01
find a perfectly adjusted as to be the serendipitous
33:03
risk that I did but he wanted you to
33:05
say he just so humble brag let's these little
33:07
have a guy that that little say something to
33:09
build bridges was you're not my thing from this
33:11
protects john I know you either have known as
33:13
Isis I got alert average I rove with with
33:15
Airbus and like area learn not to like. Qualify.
33:18
Everything that that comfort that hope that you want. To
33:20
Boil: You want people to know your heart. Negated.
33:22
You know, your cousin's wedding? And places like I
33:24
just wish people could understand here my heart and
33:26
but I think that that's why you this or
33:29
the six years right get exactly what are you
33:31
didn't said you blindly sites such as God and
33:33
because you just blindly test them and you like
33:35
I don't know how this is gonna work. Eleanor
33:37
know we're going to take me and he was
33:39
able to siphon you input universes and we are
33:41
right now and. A. Son it. But yes
33:43
absolutely and tired not reduced me
33:45
but. Filtered. The.
33:48
Is filtered be down to just going back to
33:50
Place Roses making music because I love missing music.
33:52
Right of the linux or like see you hung
33:54
up the phone and you said like I'm done
33:57
and now you're of sue I have to make
33:59
so many hits. That's so much pressure and you're
34:01
an artist and you know if you have to be
34:03
inspired so how do you even? how did you take
34:05
that first? That said not let the pressure affect you.
34:07
If you had like this once you sit down with
34:09
this has to be get. This has to be gets
34:12
as it gets. The put that aside and then to
34:14
be inspired how did you make our first? That I
34:16
think is a lot. Of like very
34:18
realistic. Like very. Not.
34:21
Spoken about very harsh like very like.
34:23
Just. Grown Man traumas, Zama therapy and
34:25
certain things that like you have to kind of
34:28
like reform we war you kinda have to be
34:30
like okay of news it's not my identity than
34:32
what is my dizzy and what does it mean
34:34
to have an identity? Who are we without the
34:36
thing that we think identifies us and what does
34:38
that mean Now have to figure out my relationship
34:40
with music and what has it. Serviced.
34:43
As was it a distraction? Was it something that
34:45
I was of using the same studio to avoid
34:47
other things I didn't want to attack in my
34:49
life or whatever which was all viable possibility so
34:51
late. I think hanging
34:53
up the phone and than being like to not let
34:56
the pressure mounts me or whatever was just a matter
34:58
of like. Funny. Enough becoming
35:00
a bit more of a balanced healthy human.
35:02
Were A wasn't necessarily like everyday doesn't have
35:04
to be for the last for like homes.
35:06
Once a year year and you have fireworks
35:08
and not rose moderate. Use scissors and that
35:10
sucks and that's great because you did it.
35:12
You do Fourth of July once. Say Fourth
35:15
of July was every day. You'd be sick
35:17
to your still makes drained, you'd be whatever.
35:19
And I think as an artist and what
35:21
house. Sorry. Fucked up.
35:23
Every fucking contract usually is is that you
35:25
turn these artists into manic people were they
35:27
have to make their life everyday fourth of
35:29
July just to make the content beast pay
35:31
attention to you. See you don't sign a
35:33
deal to the devil, you just make a
35:35
thousand little paper cuts of I gotta be
35:37
interesting I have to be visit at the
35:39
get more followers I have this would then
35:41
it turns you into this thing that is
35:43
this mess of a human being that I
35:45
think I reflected a bit by the time
35:47
I figured out my conscience wherever I was
35:49
at the peak of at all and it
35:51
was very light. So. Like
35:54
or to slightly are moving back home
35:56
Mom.live in an Ally on are you
35:58
like? I gotta figure. The way more
36:00
other things because my success is not going
36:03
to six. Regular.
36:05
Normal Monday through Monday. John My fourth of
36:07
John onstage Go crazy This There's there are
36:09
things you have to, just the dresser you
36:11
have to step up to or own of
36:13
who are your anxieties or other drama. It's
36:16
a hard situation that happens you when you're
36:18
young or whatever. This, so I think there
36:20
was a lot of that that was happening
36:22
in which once that happens and I was
36:24
like. Oh my gosh, I get to make
36:26
music every deck I got back. To that thing let's have
36:28
a full like God gave you the with them
36:31
to in that situation you could have gone one
36:33
side or the other rights of those like that
36:35
contract and you going through a struggle that obstacle
36:37
I got put in front of you with so
36:39
meant to be so the you could stop in
36:41
your tax and reflect and be able to six
36:44
what would going on inside his you and your
36:46
whole feel that Pc can make Literally the best
36:48
music. Out. Yes, I don't, I truly think
36:50
that God specifically put you there, well
36:52
known, I think he needed to put
36:55
you there are everything that. Any
36:57
type of obstacle, any type of storm, any type
36:59
of. are you where you get mad and be
37:01
like yo I'm pissed that.right now why would you

37:06
you? Have I not been safe of have I
37:08

37:15
It to you and so wanna see

want any part of this. and I'd
37:53
rather sale in front of everybody than
37:55

38:46
ridiculous talents through the roof stared. They're unbelievably
38:48
this as they. I was blessed enough to
38:50
sign them a few years ago. We've been
38:53
in a long haul working together and they're
38:55
They're made sense of Labels great. And how
38:57
do you have your own label? Yes, all
38:59
Muslims are you okay. Have you only one
39:01
out yet? Sorry Kelly Signed to the label
39:03
as well. I'm so sorry Kelly and Lawrence
39:06
The bands they both. Did you find Torrico?
39:08
Northern Law been a fan of To Dettori
39:10
goes into Isn't this just. She.
39:12
Approached me and wanted me to work on some music. in on.
39:15
I was like you're not signed
39:17
like. You'd left the label capital
39:20
was you happen to be somewhat same level I was
39:22
and I was like what do you mean it drops
39:24
to the greatest vocalist. The really my earth
39:26
founding they'd rather or be drug as he
39:28
goes up at a an amicable decision because
39:30
they weren't working Her: why is that a
39:32
Greek is I'm going into in their right
39:34
mind would drop for ya it's not. but
39:37
on that girl is correct. no I don't
39:39
know. Make was less emotional. certainly something that
39:41
is not me being disrespectful duff obviously Note:
39:43
As and America be real Yeah, I will
39:45
cut it out on destruct anybody. How is
39:47
she in my eyes? One of the V
39:49
graders and I think she's better than Area
39:51
on the Ground A by a long shots.
39:53
I think her vocals are. Ridiculous.
39:57
Why? Am I not hearing hits from her?
40:00
We're. Trying very hard. That's something that I think I
40:02
think to why is it that one? Are you looking
40:04
at it? The A You're looking at a mixture of.
40:07
Of. Culture of what an artist is
40:09
willing to do to get themselves into
40:11
that position was. The
40:14
right timing the right this or it deserves it's
40:16
all we know is is mean her bag was
40:18
is like was rather make to eliciting we can
40:20
is like if y two k record pops off
40:22
and he to cut. I would
40:24
put put up against any Y Two K record that
40:26
coming out next as goes to Cut By Caught By
40:28
To We're going to listen to this. I if I
40:30
know that one in auto as I'm saying is like
40:33
it's. Wise things.
40:35
Haven't connected the way that everyone believes in
40:38
her also courses the fan bases like they
40:40
own her and then when she drops a
40:42
gospel thing is to gospel was just a
40:44
pop think she trying to be. This is
40:46
really brutal. The last the last five years
40:48
or so that music visit the music business
40:50
the at the the archaic olds failing everyone's
40:52
getting fired. Music Business as of right now
40:54
the old idea of music business is is
40:56
all react if they're nothing's proactive it's like
40:58
will wait till you do something in when
41:00
you do it in a goes big on
41:03
take that this is it does get the
41:05
same way. Fifty points. Of their masters to for
41:07
the label their a north on the Tic Toc more.
41:11
Accidents are a lot of bands.
41:13
Yeah! In a what I'd have gone to talk to
41:15
me like stay guys and they're honest about it on my
41:18
record makes me make tic toc. So here that gets another
41:20
tix alchemy thing in my song or something. Going on
41:22
or it's like for why would I wonder i really
41:24
bad as they what you do that by yourself with
41:26
it he would do that by yourself. When.
41:28
You have some like in what's the point
41:30
of the the Why record labels push with
41:32
a push Why they do with it is
41:34
why the radio. Or
41:37
I've worked on a John Cook record for John
41:39
Cook and. The. Fast the song
41:42
to a billion streams in the history of
41:44
music streaming. And because
41:46
the call outset Radio weren't net positive,
41:48
they just didn't push the phone at
41:50
American Radio. I don't
41:53
know. it's a business and on one income
41:55
countries listening to this. Ah, but when. A.
41:57
Guy is the one hundred or of the program Director
41:59
or whatever. Why they choose to not slip
42:01
it into the rotation or who's they're not
42:03
friends with the guy that that the label
42:05
that we don't do Payola but if you're
42:08
artist comes in those my jingle jam Ninety
42:10
seven of things about putting the record that
42:12
Payola Yola resists beulah like thirteen year olds
42:14
with no faces on Twitter.they say the word
42:16
Payola. They don't understand what that it is
42:18
still happening with Sale of the Pale as
42:20
the class of that used to happen early
42:23
in the music business. That was like there's
42:25
people and gangsters, the mafia's guys coming to
42:27
the radio stations and years or ten days
42:29
they're going. To play my artist or here's Ten
42:31
K and I'd suck and and will for you if
42:33
you don't have pets as Payola fuel plume hours and
42:35
they all as hard as his payroll and this a
42:38
or feel as though it has. Elicited. Like
42:40
an industry play in a form like. We.
42:42
Could be because you you have these radio
42:44
stations that irrelevant because of large order so
42:46
for large artist comes to their jingle damn
42:48
the I Heard Radio special then you're literally
42:51
convincing the guy the top of i hard
42:53
to consider your record the next time you
42:55
drop once so they're saying guess we'd love
42:57
to play your song but the halloween bashes
42:59
coming up and if you could do it
43:01
for free we woulda definitely consider the next
43:04
time drop a song your relationship will be
43:06
better that with us or deny shaking hands
43:08
at a dirty were but also to my
43:10
not even be dirty as as as. The
43:12
Way the world that's just what is this assumes a
43:14
I must say that any artist has ever been on
43:16
the radio, has been done at the wrong way and
43:19
record hasn't exploded because it's been a beautiful far as
43:21
far as as worth. Tory till he Goes is just
43:23
like Irises a while. I. See
43:25
arose I see a diamonds are see someone
43:27
that's when I'm like yard you had some
43:29
air but like now that's not it on
43:32
my not your body. That. Quarterly.
43:34
So. Or if you hear record like Shelter
43:37
or record like cut or record like things
43:39
you do or what it. Think
43:42
we're doing the job. I just as
43:44
far as the next thing. I.
43:47
Can't be week. We can't think about the mackerel
43:49
and why they're not pushing a thing or what
43:51
they have to do to push isn't has it.
43:53
it is a i don't know er mig music
43:55
everyday at this. I'm. Trying. I'd.
43:58
Rather swing for a grand slam would Tory Kelly. Myth
44:00
that is, than. Not. Try
44:02
ready for other artists. Your has ever been
44:04
a time where you're writing for somebody that
44:06
you're like. Oh this is what I'm
44:09
really excited to work was also. And. Then you
44:11
meet them and you're like oh, that You're like you're
44:13
not even really an artist like this is a terrible.
44:15
Experience between us like like you're to work on
44:18
his and images never shut up you know if
44:20
the like and call out somebody his name the
44:22
like it is there are is is that a
44:24
obstacle for use like working with artist is it
44:27
like task as like. For
44:29
me, you watch. Ah, I
44:32
won't name names will you watch Tv shows or
44:34
movies where they're like Hitler? Your arrow in my
44:36
something and all and a New Jersey is a
44:38
great question as like the reason why you are
44:40
so good at what you doing your poppers. You're
44:42
asking a question that like a person who's not
44:44
in the music industry would really genuinely as not
44:46
be like what's your favorite cereal the safest route
44:48
order Luna do a shit you like this sucks
44:50
leg us very good on his voice in my
44:52
mind is like you're gearing up for war and
44:54
you're like okay cool I'm so excited to work
44:57
ominously shown or I saw. can't wait to have
44:59
a shot her bows or grade valid loss as
45:01
and she's like yo like. I can always goes
45:03
to your have these ideas and then you show
45:05
up and she's just like some of the ways
45:07
that arm and ago hangouts. The reason I ask
45:09
is because I saw a lot of the in
45:11
the recording studio yes and I was just kind
45:13
of like oh this guy's a far he's like
45:15
is is a fake artist like there's a guy
45:18
behind their this I know calibrate the music and
45:20
in any produces any creates this unbelievable masterpiece but
45:22
then I see her on the war similar yeah
45:24
when I was writing this song. You
45:27
know and really spoke to me. Yeah,
45:29
bitch is this guy's focus uranium I.
45:32
Like yours yet always at how? Okay,
45:34
So I couldn't imagine creating something that
45:37
you're so passionate about as watching somebody
45:39
onstage being like this is mine. Like
45:41
yes, Is that it? What? What is
45:43
that Lifeline was? What is that were?
45:46
How do you go home Something? We
45:48
are at them. Earn
45:51
don't accept Optic.logitech know that
45:53
you're label wants that I
45:55
that very residences Fidel blurb
45:57
say that goes on. I
46:03
think but. I think the best
46:05
way to. To navigate that is
46:07
that we have to. Also we can go deeper
46:10
into like what an artist this it like. Rian.
46:12
Is one of the best a indoors of all
46:15
time because once in a or have any nor
46:17
is like a omni. Right
46:19
now in the archaic music industry, they are busily
46:21
a dinosaur. It's it's behind a desk in those
46:23
you like. To pretend. Tells you to tick
46:25
tock more has would mean or is right now couple of
46:27
good ones but for whatever supposed to be like is supposed
46:29
to be like somebody who is the person who's your
46:31
liaison at the label that you were working in a new
46:34
set of the songs and they're like okay him and will
46:36
play this for the head. I'm gonna go on. Site.
46:39
For you in the building like an angel
46:41
or year like of Asian that actually works
46:43
for the label. So it's like. How
46:45
trustworthy can they be released as they're getting paid
46:47
by the get whatever. But either way do they
46:50
create music? The people that are called A and
46:52
are some some of them do, some of them
46:54
are super talented. some of Japan's few and far
46:56
between at this point is let. ours is sufficient.
46:59
They're making that stuff on the table laptop the
47:01
not like going to Capitol Records studio recording like
47:03
Frank Sinatra did with seventy five thousand people in
47:05
guys like spending it. Tapers is not that way
47:08
but as far as like how of I'm really
47:10
china. I'm really trying
47:12
to think wrote that Physics? I think. If.
47:14
You if if if I was to write a song
47:17
and the song was to become as a number one
47:19
song and then you go to put as it is
47:21
as some some hang out at a party and no
47:23
one knows I wrote the song and someone like yeah
47:25
I saw it so and so are to say it
47:27
was about their. Something and it wasn't.
47:29
And I know that in my head share
47:31
your ego at a certain point would be
47:34
like I made Dad and earth. But.
47:36
The check comes in the mail and dislike
47:38
credit like as am i think that soul
47:40
crushing because you're like a the by nice
47:43
things but like that's your are. Here.
47:45
They will is your are to some degree
47:47
you the art becomes what the artist wants
47:50
it to be when you've agreed to to
47:52
let it be there. thing is, when. You
47:54
signed up for that year. Because of the
47:56
end of the day to my job would be to
47:58
prop up an artist. My job would be you if
48:00
you're lacking in something. I.
48:03
Supports you because I like artists, I like writers.
48:05
I like producers. So the idea of like. If
48:09
it's super successful, I did my job, I did
48:11
my job, and if. I.
48:13
Just want to do my job very well. I want
48:15
to try. I want to try very hard and do
48:17
my job very well. That's all that's all I want
48:19
to do. I want to wake up, make an offering,
48:22
Everyday the same thing is i get to wake up like
48:24
a to make this thing and be a of a little
48:26
creator and i get the have phone and work on it
48:28
and for desserts and then it goes out to the world
48:30
and like oh that's not the proper credit and others as
48:32
it is like you know what. I can
48:35
cancel any of that night. I could just move
48:37
on means I'm here and I could do the
48:39
thing and I thought about lesson for easy talent
48:41
because like dude like I'm such a passionate person.
48:43
If anybody like miss say is like a story
48:46
of my slick this is the love of my
48:48
life If you recites a joke of mine and
48:50
she's as of the runway some sites like a
48:52
arms I've never had a woman hater system says
48:54
around job as I think will win of getting
48:57
getting a of using a whole song as you
48:59
get the Wrecker back added it is a hit
49:01
and like them of yeah so as a punchline
49:03
becomes a punch the. Office
49:05
on the opposite side of that question. The
49:07
opposite would be what is your favorite artist
49:09
The favorite song is time to read right
49:11
from Somebody Like. The experience was amazing. Those
49:13
are normally do you love this person? I
49:15
know what let's and I certainly wouldn't let
49:17
the opposite end of Alex Somebody gate came
49:19
in and around This I don't want to
49:21
do. They put our souls. You and your
49:24
like. That's Miss Minimize. The app. Tit
49:26
to even go back to what we were saying
49:28
about the how does it feel Wherever I've had
49:30
my moments to say, haven't had my moments to
49:33
be like with you Me Blue One. Can make
49:35
it look like it. But
49:37
that, like. Everyone's
49:40
pretending to sit golden eyes every once every
49:43
one. not a single person. They are your
49:45
social media that it. I do the magic
49:47
say I didn't magically. Fortunately one day someone
49:49
going to go in the house and ask
49:51
you to write a song would do something
49:53
and you're going to see the next. And
49:55
if you a single the name is so
49:57
that's what that's was going to solve itself.
49:59
Vietnam. It could play the piano like
50:01
outplayed. if he says get you get
50:04
away with the bulls and bears a
50:06
a silver let know right before he
50:08
shows me like these great like masterpieces
50:10
I got on the piano played a
50:13
few courses like Uk average York city
50:15
will just go see mean chords the
50:17
Fisher everybody has their size of as
50:19
figures I should have known for his.
50:21
In all seriousness there there is. Times.
50:25
Parnes minute though. Misled. So
50:27
you take credit for anything. Anybody can take credit
50:29
for anything. You can make it look like he
50:32
did something, but then you're gonna have to do
50:34
the thing again If you get speed so wildly
50:36
successful for number one song or your eyes abuses
50:38
out there. Just. Eat
50:40
when. The split start to come out
50:42
when the when the to who gets what
50:44
percentage of what song whatever everybody's everybody's memory
50:46
gets fuzzy my included on the reason I
50:48
like twenty percent or as he that ten
50:50
percent why the get busy get that the
50:52
as the. Honestly, Let
50:55
it slide most the time. so it's a tie
50:57
for what you believe you deserve. that you have.
50:59
But if you can do it again to do
51:01
it again and then do it again and again
51:03
and again and again. And when people say that
51:05
you suck, do it again As I don't like
51:07
the song, do it again and keep going because
51:09
it just going to give up after a while
51:11
people are just gonna be like fuck. I told
51:13
me sox I hate omen as shit is keeps
51:15
doing the thing over and over and then five
51:17
years goes by and say wow. He said he
51:19
said longevity for five years so that when someone
51:21
says she can't make music he said it is
51:23
diseases like you're just not doing your homework. That's
51:25
the type of presence I would like to be
51:27
so you just haven't done your homework. You could
51:30
say whatever you want, but Max Morton's one of
51:32
the greatest bruises for a was a great for
51:34
the zoo time if somebody says for l didn't.
51:36
Tweets out for all not a great site or
51:39
like for hasn't affected culture is like a he
51:41
does, haven't done your homework or other to be
51:43
a you haven't done your homework got and ensues
51:45
and me saying snow was doing their homework is
51:47
the elderly him and observers the slightest. I just
51:49
want to wake up and go be more music
51:52
and I'm gonna do it again tomorrow and then
51:54
we do it again tomorrow or Megan know their
51:56
song after that and we get another song off
51:58
that over and over and over. I love
52:00
what I do so it's like. I
52:03
could eat. There's a moment where you could. Katt Williams,
52:05
you burn the house down as fine and do you
52:07
have frustrations and things you gone through in the industry's
52:09
whatever. But the more I meditate on it's like I'd
52:11
rather just come from a place of gratefulness in this.
52:14
Weather. The artist took too much credit or not
52:16
enough credit or didn't. Sell.
52:18
The song the way they told me they would hate
52:20
work with us in this is our plans and then
52:22
I worked my ass asked us to make an album
52:24
and do this whole thing for them and then I
52:26
realize other just. There to sell up
52:29
a music is just a piece of their business
52:31
and the unique as a know I can do
52:33
this very well. Murmur: I'm gonna go on Georgia
52:35
goes on. Like a I just one of
52:37
I'm just so blessed to be in this business to make music.
52:39
And and by the way. I
52:42
just want to be known as the guy that
52:44
when orders company I'm not doing this weird producer
52:46
blow a bomb often your mind to make you
52:48
think you need me to make it about me
52:50
to bits. I'm here to serve. I'm here to
52:53
serve to me servings of doing ninety percent of
52:55
the song and it makes your career go on
52:57
a song. This might even be bigger because you
52:59
sacrifice your life to be an artist. You sacrifice
53:01
your whole life to be famous when you want
53:04
it. Now or not, you've you've lost something to
53:06
get here. That's. Attacks
53:08
that lights. Hill. Like
53:10
listlessly like this hadn't happened. Justin Bieber doesn't
53:12
He was very talented. If I made holy
53:14
or ghost or anyone or hold On or
53:17
the vertebrae record or the dominic like record
53:19
that I do at all is an Arab
53:21
yes I wrote as I was with us
53:23
as is a whole. If. I.
53:25
Were to put them out myself. They live
53:27
in nothing because they they would. They didn't
53:30
even close to as. A
53:32
financial blessing for my family or anything because of
53:34
the stuff that Justin Bieber sacrifice because he sacrifice
53:36
a lot and he knows how to pick the
53:39
soft because everyone their mother sending us also for
53:41
him to be a talented enough as an A
53:43
in our to pick great salt because he's done
53:45
that his whole career flint because he's just a
53:47
very talented singer, dancer, entertainer did it is someone
53:50
is don't write songs that because they're also a
53:52
fashion I gone and on. Thing. So I'm a
53:54
cop and they do in this and the do and as
53:56
like I just. Happen to be the guy that only wants
53:58
to make news as all won't be known for us
54:00
the all I'd like to do as them as pets.
54:03
What I do like people like drink and boxed wine
54:05
but some people like stomp on the grapes and talk
54:07
and a number of legs and it on that guy
54:09
like I love the olive sol a pop music this
54:11
big songs little some artistic thought. I love it I'm
54:13
passionate about it so. I. Feel
54:15
blessed enough This like whether they take credit or not or
54:17
whatever ever my job is to gets you to the to
54:19
the promised land of the places you need to be as
54:21
an artist as up when I'm writing and producing for other
54:23
people and I can be potent if I if I keep
54:25
that had frame because and I'm not going to get I'm.
54:28
Like. You were talking about yes the you seem like the
54:30
to get jaded or tv to get like. The
54:34
magic is gone. Yeah that is gonna stay
54:36
fourteen and just. Don't
54:40
respect as it is all perspective or like I was
54:42
having a bad day at work and my dad goes
54:44
everybody has a bad day at work rather than a
54:46
blessing that you work for the thing he loves and
54:48
I saw them whenever they did. Not about their wacko
54:50
be working at Mcdonalds and having a bad day or
54:53
I could be in my career field we're having a
54:55
bad day easily easily some of these duties or is
54:57
like I bring up be because you so talented as
54:59
like. Yea was a
55:01
young easy kids door and as Btc videos
55:03
him operating he is. he so freaking just
55:06
stem cells front of you ever does. Are
55:08
they just the zebra? Here is it as
55:10
a hater for all they. Had and guns
55:12
and know what's crazy. Is like a solid peaches and
55:14
like whatever. The he wrote most of that, he wrote most
55:16
of that record so they sometimes he. Doesn't Right Records who
55:19
killed codes on billion to be like go I have
55:21
a song about this and I want to make a
55:23
song about this or this. move my heart and then
55:25
other times to write a whole song and whatever cause
55:27
I think the fallacy that artist do one hundred percent
55:29
of what this was the do is some believe will
55:31
you building and I for your if you're making a
55:33
movie you're not going to be like I'm going to
55:35
be the art department and then and either does department
55:37
and I'm going to do all this. Call me and
55:39
thirty years when the movie's done is like know comical.
55:42
Get the best art director and will get the best.
55:44
The labels are screwing us. sorry this is gonna get
55:46
a whole other ten and I apologize if I'm not.
55:48
Interview Ready Bus. To. Assess,
55:50
there's one hundred points in a song for
55:52
the hundred master point and that's what pays
55:54
off a streaming. So the label of giving
55:56
producer's like myself. That. Need The Orioles got
55:59
to be relevant? Yours. The work with the bigger risk
56:01
of the you would have you done. For me lately
56:03
they're giving us three to six points a song out
56:05
of a hundred. Out of a
56:07
hundred and telling us that we're blessed for it
56:09
and we're getting dinner with the Ceos like search
56:11
for Put Me On your records I really hope
56:13
to bring you the radio. I don't know how
56:15
it works but maybe you could pull some bodies
56:17
and so that that so the point being is
56:20
a very frustrating as a producer when I'm unsure
56:22
as frustrating as an artist Susan when you're putting
56:24
together these looks in these videos and doing all
56:26
this different stuff and the contract and are I
56:28
just got to Kill you So like for me
56:30
to is like. I'm. Going off
56:32
on different tangents here because I feel passionate about
56:34
it. But before making so, having every points on
56:37
a record and then somebody. I'm.
56:42
Not the best violinists in the world. I'm not the best
56:44
drum maker in the world on the best that as, but
56:46
I know them and I have access to them. So it's
56:48
like. Oh that song.
56:51
I'm. That. Song was the
56:53
saw the Jonas Brothers record on walls
56:55
A crazy record as like oh. Pete.
56:58
Nappy, Clyde, Lawrence and Ten Rock did
57:00
the drums on us all. Like
57:02
John, you're not a real producer. Is.
57:04
Like. A Source. The.
57:07
Thing to get the product on as a producer to
57:09
de dah dah dah dah dah dah which is like
57:11
a metaphor for all of it as a you gotta
57:13
be careful who you're saying like stats on an artist.
57:15
Nothing that in a producer. That's. As a
57:17
producer who's produces yes but you'd say an artist and
57:19
in and question before that what defines and artists is
57:22
like an artist might be agree A in or person
57:24
who knows how to pick their own songs and become
57:26
the biggest artist in the world and then is like
57:28
sometimes you know you want your favorite artist right and
57:30
sauce because the way they sing other people saw there's
57:32
a magic behind them discovering the specialness of people like
57:34
me who do with all day long and then be
57:36
like I could turn this into my own thing when
57:38
I sing his put my voice on and is will
57:40
become bigger than it could ever be. As the writer
57:42
the producer put it out there is is is this
57:45
is it's a fallacy is if it's a bit a
57:47
fallacy. Much different directions use that to be careful how
57:49
you're claiming it or or what. The.
57:51
thing is so i just of in meditation about
57:53
it's i should be weary about. I
57:55
did. I'd like. Finally,
57:59
Know or not, Get your meditation aspects
58:01
be as you you do you doing press
58:03
work years. You're doing a bunch of things
58:05
to get yourself. Are prepared for
58:07
your journey like war right? And what
58:09
are what are the two things that
58:12
you've done that you would love for
58:14
people to know? But hey this is
58:16
this is changed me completely as a
58:18
think move and act better. To.
58:23
Oh. My goodness, To
58:25
think move ag better. Going.
58:28
To better to get our. More. Than I
58:30
used to work only from like seven pm
58:33
to like seven in the morning. Now I
58:35
only wear from eleven to seven Monday through
58:37
Friday, Eleven to seven and between that during
58:39
during the day. So because I'm I'm up
58:41
with my boys or or any time on
58:43
the weekends, spend with family and whatever. But.
58:46
The thing that really changed my life. Really
58:50
make it like. Eating
58:52
properly. To be in studio for seven
58:54
hours straight, just not guitars lot of time when like
58:56
who even when I had social media was very lucky
58:59
these laws in the studio. Least one of my check
59:01
out or whatever gonna want to do that. I want
59:03
to be more locked in all the time so the
59:05
ice bath help me a lot to do. Bass Dishonor.
59:08
And. We're going out everyday. And I'm
59:10
eating. I'm trying to eat properly every day
59:12
so that that eleven to seven I'm getting
59:14
on juice in that thing some some getting
59:16
eleven to seven out strongly. And as long
59:18
as you're standing up and and and you're
59:20
moving and you're bouncing all day so was
59:22
don't have back problems or this or that
59:24
sausages consistent consistently work now other the breath
59:26
work there we we just did one before
59:28
the show. Had to be honest
59:30
I thought it was both are like I was
59:33
like nah bro you just breathing getting dizzy
59:35
like at as and we did it together as
59:37
like I like this I want to do this
59:39
again and so I just I find it cools
59:41
and fascinating when people find like little tricks like
59:44
there was one that I got like a
59:46
assess sounds really stupid but have you ever slept
59:48

I was its numbered so you cut that off.
1:00:14
Trying to as much as I go to doesn't
1:00:16
have as it were talking like real I guess
1:00:18
like a human beings yet of people that are
1:00:20
husbands are people that are trying to be better
1:00:22
in their life. So actually stop doing that too
1:00:25
because of fighter said that It messes up. His.

1:00:47
awkward things to talk about but I mean I

A key and it's do because humans or that

1:02:01
I want to be is like I could do that today
1:02:03
as you wake up into that today if he if it
1:02:06
starts to be like. I'm. A lose
1:02:08

1:02:10
a good pass to do that, a muggle work
1:02:12

1:02:17
To slobber an ass on the on the treadmill
1:02:19
and go work out now now and try to
1:02:21
do it. You'll have to be good enough to
1:02:23
try to be better. Catherine, those are other. It's
1:02:25
the same thing as like some people feel they have
1:02:27
to clean themselves the for the com the god I
1:02:29
like I want to present myself the dyno and I'm
1:02:31
relationship with another have so many things a into six
1:02:33
of a major first single says no come to me
1:02:35
thirty. A hospital with our last dog with
1:02:38
the idea of like. I
1:02:40
struggled the idea of like. The
1:02:43
nuance of humanity being every decision were making
1:02:45
is affecting our eternity. That's true. Everything we
1:02:47
do is either a step in the right
1:02:49
direction, regression and also I'm soon as they
1:02:51
by grace and is nothing I could have
1:02:53
done to earn his sword like. I.
1:02:56
Don't take myself seriously at all and
1:02:58
I can laugh about things and not
1:03:00
necessarily be so. But I also take
1:03:02
myself so seriously cause my. Future.
1:03:05
My turn the hangs in the balance. The music is
1:03:07
very similar to that. I think all things very similar
1:03:09
that there's a gray area. This is almost. the more
1:03:11
we realized about the right in the left and the
1:03:14
this and the that is is is that. Like
1:03:16
these and gray area all the
1:03:18
time. Moonlight taxes no taxes rendered.
1:03:21
Caesar was is like. Was
1:03:23
like that's didn't but that's directly in between
1:03:25
as I can make everybody happy. but the
1:03:27
realistic thing is like. We're.
1:03:29
All just in between were on the gray. We're all trying
1:03:31
to figure this thing on as we go on a per.
1:03:33
Like the were intentional. But also like go and let
1:03:35
it be and you know. Values are having.
1:03:37
I had let go. It's like I've just rather tell
1:03:40
the world are I'm trying so hard. I want you
1:03:42
to be so affected by this I wanted that wants
1:03:44
you to think this music is that is the best
1:03:46
thing ever. It's that's that's what I want you to
1:03:49
think. And if you don't think that. I. Didn't
1:03:51
do the job that I set out to do. rather than
1:03:53
being like. I'm. So not
1:03:55
carrying that like the reason that you find
1:03:57
me cool because I don't care what you
1:03:59
think about. right? I'm trying to make. Great
1:04:01
so everyday and of the most likely
1:04:03
unless it's. Like okay
1:04:05
down south who says are snowbirds work but in
1:04:07
in the real a sense of the word. his
1:04:09
legs were rather to strike out. I'd rather just
1:04:12
strike out of or of I'm not your cup
1:04:14
of tea. That's amazing That's great but I just
1:04:16
I'm trying very hard. You failed. It wasn't what
1:04:18
you wanted to be as like I'm looking so
1:04:20
you know I'd you find dogs at all and
1:04:22
that was it. like cause I was young so
1:04:24
some real My father my father went to church
1:04:26
and brought deserts and the whole month but then
1:04:28
it became more of like these will Source is
1:04:30
is. On and he the summer like this is
1:04:33
something that's in I can do is almost race
1:04:35
especially. In every form of
1:04:37
us to manual is almost. There is
1:04:39
no way. Possible. And
1:04:42
as does need to be something more for me is a
1:04:44
hard for you to give it to god like a house
1:04:46
is this punk to give any is like. Who
1:04:51
are I got? I'm gonna go work at Mcdonald's
1:04:53
now that my contract not good and I'm walking
1:04:55
away. So because I know my future or I
1:04:57
got a muggle were at I'm always yes. Well
1:04:59
what? I. Am with you. Could
1:05:02
be careful with Mcdonalds. Smokers will be over. I'm
1:05:04
never going to make commercially successful music on never
1:05:06
make money for those, but I'm going to work
1:05:08
the worry I'll get a real job or so
1:05:10
it's Silly Smile is the give. No idea that
1:05:12
can do your life? No idea. Though.
1:05:14
I know, I know though flags attack give
1:05:16
this to either be able to that's impossible
1:05:18
it's impossible thing and you look back and
1:05:20
it's like oh wow at a plan and
1:05:23
who's completely right and I could to save
1:05:25
a lot of time by just giving him
1:05:27
that the death for human conundrum release I
1:05:29
was. I gave god my anxiety about everything
1:05:31
is this doesn't have the smothers the darius
1:05:33
it privacy cause like totally totally totally say
1:05:35
have a saying stop selling got how big
1:05:38
your problems are Start telling your problems are
1:05:40
the you gotta. Wow.
1:05:42
You're flip it on is because the
1:05:44
devil always the it. The devil only
1:05:46
has one weapon but my daddy loves
1:05:48
to use the weapon. It's line bro.
1:05:50
Let me say some man you be.
1:05:52
Pluto. Somewhere. Else
1:05:56
out there is a diverse. It's amazing. It's like
1:05:58
the old I would do with technology. What's gonna
1:06:00
happen when people have words or encouragement or how it's
1:06:02
going to be Proceed but you're looking in real time
1:06:04
like I'm watching someone who speaking to a lot of
1:06:06
people. But you're doing it in a real sense where
1:06:08
you're not not approachable, feel like a normal person that
1:06:10
believes in what they believe in, your in a position
1:06:12
to speak the way that you do an artist think
1:06:15
it is a lot of like. Non.
1:06:18
Celebrity non that whole thing. People that are like
1:06:20
that are gonna see you in that do see
1:06:22
you and they're like wow he speaking like somebody
1:06:24
I want to hear from and it's He's not
1:06:27
telling me the like. Do. These things
1:06:29
that I know deep down or connelly probably not healthy
1:06:31
for me. Repeat: you're doing in a cool way and
1:06:33
like as you're doing it, you're coming out of the
1:06:35
word of God And you're You're using scripture, which is
1:06:37
like. It. Makes it even more.
1:06:40
Bomb. Something that other people can sink
1:06:42
their teeth into. Because I'm not watching a guy
1:06:44
go on his own accord to just say whatever,
1:06:46
because he's made up this new thing nest of
1:06:48
that that's like a serious and as as I
1:06:50
appreciate every bomb it's It's very cool to watch
1:06:52
you both do this together in a way that's
1:06:55
like. To. Be part of
1:06:57
something like this is very cool. Very
1:06:59
cool was very normal conversation we ever
1:07:01
we have like on like the deepest
1:07:03
conversations we have. That. Don't
1:07:05
even Go. On. A make
1:07:07
that I really wish. That. Like.
1:07:10
We had a mike on us all time
1:07:12
because sometimes we talk about Christ and such
1:07:14
around that I'm like man. I really, I
1:07:17
really pray that that could somehow get into
1:07:19
a podcast on. Yesterday.
1:07:22
right? Before he went to bed. Gotten
1:07:25
a be that screamed the a heart was. You
1:07:27
have to tell her this because there's an order
1:07:29
of things. I think people forgot that. We are
1:07:31
creations that are in order right? And if you
1:07:33
get out of order that's when you feel lost
1:07:35
and out of place and I'm I was. That
1:07:38
was praying. And she
1:07:40
was talking to God and I know how she
1:07:42
is, right? So when I walked in I said
1:07:45
something and she's. I knew that while
1:07:47
she was praying she didn't. Want me
1:07:49
to think that. She. Was ignoring
1:07:51
me so she stopped praying for a
1:07:53
second. It as. She turned to me and
1:07:55
she was all valve off and she what right
1:07:57
back into her prayers and I was gonna wait.
1:08:00
How her brother all tell her later. And.
1:08:02
I told her yesterday I go. If.
1:08:04
You're ever. In the
1:08:06
presence of God. I. Don't care
1:08:08
if the house is on fire
1:08:10
and I'm screaming for your life.
1:08:13
You. Finish talking to the king first
1:08:15
be more you ever even acknowledge my
1:08:17
does off. The. Imagine of mean
1:08:20
you were talking and then she started out with the me another
1:08:22
wait What I get. That's. Rude. I'm not
1:08:24
doing that my creator while and I'd be
1:08:26
damned if the love of my life that
1:08:28
supposedly coming from I read turns from our
1:08:30
creator to talk to me. Kill.
1:08:33
Me Before that happens, I will never let that happen.
1:08:35
Mine It was also like that limits the amount of
1:08:37
us are. we talked about that and I'm in. I'm
1:08:39
a lot of hundred and there was. No
1:08:43
of the or don't have. To
1:08:46
shoot. Speaking
1:08:49
of aluminum, Say
1:08:52
that we. Have no vet and
1:08:55
and that was that's a good mind because I
1:08:57
was in my prayer in and I didn't turn
1:08:59
to respond as cause I just trying to but
1:09:01
I can't practicing yeah thought I'd remembering and I
1:09:03
want. guess I know that this worry of like
1:09:05
a when she doesn't know I'm playing right now
1:09:07
because it was. I think you're in the other
1:09:09
room or something and I'm when she becomes is
1:09:11
ignoring him but it would. So beautiful is that
1:09:13
he's able to not be paid full and just
1:09:15
as you said well he leads on his. He
1:09:17
leans on god understanding not on his own understanding
1:09:19
and so that's why he's able to be like.
1:09:22
Hey. Like. whenever. You're praying like
1:09:24
do not like, don't worry about me Doesn't matter
1:09:26
what's going on around you in only focus on.and
1:09:28
that's something that I need to hear whether it's
1:09:30
coming from Hammer from anybody else and that's something
1:09:33
that I need to remember and citing that's that's
1:09:35
beautiful about his character in the We the He
1:09:37
leaders like Mint leaves. His podcast is because I
1:09:39
didn't have the yes it is leaning on God's
1:09:41
understanding and not his own and well, I
1:09:44
really appreciate you guys. Yeah, we know it'll get
1:09:46
cancer. It's. One. Of the things and I think
1:09:48
the you do that soon your life and thing
1:09:50
that through you know things and with last night
1:09:52
and throughout where you've said in your music and
1:09:54
anything that's what makes you both great partners. A
1:09:56
good has been that fiance because you bring that
1:09:58
in the relationship. Then again the day when I
1:10:00
know that there's a struggle whenever there's anything present
1:10:02
in front of us. I. Know
1:10:05
that it's gonna be. It's. Gonna be great
1:10:07
and I got gonna take care of it because
1:10:09
it is got taken care of it because he.
1:10:12
Let. God beat him. And six
1:10:14
the situations in front of. Us as
1:10:16
usual. What's it like coming home
1:10:18
knowing that you're in an industry?
1:10:20
That. Might not have this type
1:10:22
of relationship but you come home to it
1:10:25
that that the security and the safety of
1:10:27
a safer woman Like a godly woman, a
1:10:29
woman who wants a break bread about not
1:10:31
just bread on earth with the bread of
1:10:33
Christ like the ability were it like is
1:10:35
it feels like. I
1:10:38
think of God is like. correct. So
1:10:40
when you're playing around in the dark,
1:10:42
right? as? that's what our industrious and
1:10:44
I think there's only a select few
1:10:46
that.sense to the dark to be the
1:10:48
light. And and what does it feel
1:10:50
like when you come home after mingling
1:10:52
and darkness? Yes, to a bright bright.
1:10:55
Yeah, Oh my goodness. My.
1:10:57
Was more of is unbelievable
1:10:59
of and ah. Reward!
1:11:01
For to get a for for years
1:11:03
from seventh grade up until like the
1:11:05
early college years and then we took
1:11:07
the long break or delayed craziness in
1:11:09
than kind of back into each other's
1:11:11
lives. You been married for. Oh
1:11:14
I'm a just ended Serbia. Seven years
1:11:16
now almost seven years now we get
1:11:19
together to your a year before that
1:11:21
are some something to that effect on.
1:11:24
But. Choosing.
1:11:28
To choosing to be in a relationship and
1:11:31
choosing to the make the same promised that
1:11:33
God made to me. Meaning is other You
1:11:35
do for richer, for poorer, for sick of
1:11:37
for health and an honoring that covenant. Whether
1:11:39
it's really, really hard, really, really easy at
1:11:41
times. Really. really. This. Really. really. That I
1:11:43
just recognize that I'm like, wow, like that
1:11:45
something from God. She something forgot, send that
1:11:48
to me. The way that I've been refined
1:11:50
through her. The way that. I
1:11:52
recognized even he and through my children. And when
1:11:54
you have it, when you have when you have
1:11:56
children. Little refined, you quick, you think you're patient,
1:11:58
You think you're all. They have you ever kidding
1:12:01
You're like oh my gosh I didn't No idea
1:12:03
I was this sort in my page and I
1:12:05
was this sort with my anything it will with
1:12:07
with what I demand when it come upstairs if
1:12:09
everyone's listen to me in the city all day
1:12:11
and when I called there's. A say
1:12:13
may move the snare everly get sore. Got
1:12:15
what it is? Other than what you say
1:12:18
that that is Layla make me dinner has
1:12:20
a mouth is that doesn't go that way.
1:12:22
So I think I think it's like almost
1:12:24
like a Weiss the U S. What it's
1:12:26
like it's like it's almost.put this thing in
1:12:28
my engine because I can go one seventy.
1:12:30
Very talented, very much work driven. I'm very
1:12:32
i can produce on produces assuming a like
1:12:34
to do active to to lead in that
1:12:36
way but. And. You can go and seventy
1:12:38
in every once in awhile and even the battle for
1:12:40
it's nice to speed up but if you're going fast
1:12:42
the whole time everyone's like is very predictable person the
1:12:45
guard and like this the same thing with life. I
1:12:47
think if a Weiss not in your engine and or.
1:12:49
A partners on and your engine or whatever
1:12:52
that is she sees like this thing in
1:12:54
my life. the keys me tethered to reality
1:12:56
act as I'd be floating in. I'm going
1:12:58
to build theme parks for this artist and
1:13:00
then the rollercoaster has to look this way.
1:13:02
but the colors of the roller coasters got
1:13:05
a massive of the slides. This can be
1:13:07
a new theme park. Yes this theme park
1:13:09
going to work for this artist because it's
1:13:11
my son's like bread crumb, a banjo I
1:13:13
my assistant that it has like a second
1:13:15
oh wow whoa like I'm building universes recently.
1:13:18
At. Six fifteen and you didn't sleep less late
1:13:20
eleven digital ago. and so there's something about that
1:13:22
that marital thing and having that your life in
1:13:25
children in your life that announces grounds you know
1:13:27
and that doesn't mean that and I'm not qualified.
1:13:29
This is as a mean that unlike the most
1:13:31
wonderful grounded person world I have plenty of struggles
1:13:33
in the there they are bound but I do
1:13:36
recognize him I was. I thank God for this
1:13:38
woman that so as to stick it out with
1:13:40
me and to be an anchor for me no
1:13:42
matter how this goes I know she's not a
1:13:45
know that them and and are no see their
1:13:47
from and that comfort in their safety. And that
1:13:49
support. Oh. Man and as Mars been
1:13:51
some responsibility as a man to do the
1:13:53
right thing by her is like the Bible
1:13:55
says like or love your life love your
1:13:57
wife Like Price of the Church has no.
1:14:00
That's enough to die for us. So it's like they
1:14:02

1:14:04
It's like a women serve your husband's but
1:14:06

1:15:01
food. Ross two. Months.
1:15:04
And I recognize to there's a lot alike.
1:15:06
The things that you work on aren't. The.
1:15:08
Things that are worth working on are the things
1:15:10
that argument gets you any phrase any any that

like but those are the things are going to
1:15:14
feed you when you're older. A soothing that are

For this episode been like know there's
1:15:32

1:15:34
So sluggish, you invest in the things
1:15:36
that might not get you that adulation
1:15:38
or that response to that. whatever. and
1:15:41
you're serving. The. Upside down
1:15:43
kingdom is the whole thing about the of attacking
1:15:45
them as like if you're spurs is your last,
1:15:47
your first and forces of all serve and volley
1:15:49
like the the whole thing and the you learn
1:15:51
that through marriage and to have my wife as
1:15:53
a tool. To refine
1:15:55
me and make me better in
1:15:58
that situation is like she's. And
1:16:00
to have a woman who's down to do that
1:16:02
with me and to like take that struggling to
1:16:04
walk that road and to do that thing and
1:16:06
no matter what happens we're going to pick back
1:16:08
up tomorrow as the that's the thing about he
1:16:11
sees a present from raw fish for her name
1:16:13
is Robert is that it's the it's the greatest
1:16:15
gift from god So when you found a wife
1:16:17
a good wife. And think about it,
1:16:19
bro, you've had. A ridiculous amount of
1:16:21
success in your field. I guarantee you have either for
1:16:23
my money on it and are like if you put
1:16:26
John or Roman yes it's free to all of this
1:16:28
out. For. Just one more year with his
1:16:30
wife or wouldn't you won't even be were even talk
1:16:32
about even talk about just take it out and others
1:16:34
who are much rather have this is. I'm speaking to
1:16:36
myself as a warm I try to. Make.
1:16:40
Everyone. Like me, besides the person that needs
1:16:43
to actually liked. Me since as a.
1:16:47
Man's Azar The present A this is is
1:16:49
with my wife knows who I am literally
1:16:51
even talking about why am I spending all
1:16:53
the time front of be like he said
1:16:55
I could make I'll prove him wrong and
1:16:57
of Emirates it's easier said than done. Adulation
1:16:59
from the public, a great success of great
1:17:01
money's great but then it's like. He
1:17:04
doesn't. It's it's you get a wanted to
1:17:06
invest him Sit There is a study. I'm so
1:17:08
sorry. What to say. Sort of forget there's a
1:17:10
study on. I've said this on another podcast, but
1:17:12
it's very, very poor for people to really understand
1:17:15
this and your brain. There's like a flicker, right?
1:17:17
So if I'm moving my arm like this is
1:17:19
a light, the flickers than says always moving his
1:17:21
right arm the light of flickers of his anxiety
1:17:23
in your brain does one bulb. That
1:17:25
basically flickers if you're anxious.
1:17:28
Or great for a full a Saudi. Talk about this with
1:17:30
their own. Was Tony Robbins? I
1:17:32
believe it was yesterday about a great
1:17:34
was split into two thousand years ago.
1:17:36
Jesus. Like stopping anxious, be grateful. You
1:17:39
know your body. Yeah so the point of thousand
1:17:42
the approach that we we spoke about. The first
1:17:44
time we talk the error was like what should
1:17:46
I was we talk by some burnout down and
1:17:48
talk about all the stuff that I've been wrong
1:17:51
here and I've been on. This is how not
1:17:53
as it's or. I'm on
1:17:55
borrowed time and I could just come from a
1:17:57
super grateful blaze. as is what I just wanted.
1:18:00
Genuinely, I just. Don't
1:18:03
on a chicken and which is Aura everyone I
1:18:05
just want to do well. I just wanna do
1:18:07
well. That's it. That's it. That's it. I just
1:18:09
want to do well. That and if I get
1:18:11
to wake up and try to do well everyday,
1:18:14
the when really the when really is is doing
1:18:16
something excellently. Whether you're you're you're. Pushing.
1:18:19
A broom you're on, a laptop your
1:18:21
yours, someone's understudy your the thing through
1:18:23
the thing. you do it well. it's
1:18:25
just doing doing something excellent I think
1:18:27
is the. It's the secret
1:18:29
to it off, because if you take pride in what you're
1:18:31
doing, you do it excellently. You're not gonna taste like. Because
1:18:34
trust me. It
1:18:36
doesn't change from if you're not for his in
1:18:38
you know this isn't it. It's
1:18:41
nothing's gonna sell. The whole nothing is going to fill
1:18:43
the hole. Not saying is that it into for me.
1:18:45
So if you're looking at the things, if you're looking
1:18:48
at things the spiritual thing that will fill you up
1:18:50
even greater you're investing in the proper thing. Seems like
1:18:52
it's a hard thing to do, but it's like. Man.
1:18:56
Vs phrase. I'm gonna tell you the thing that my
1:18:58

1:19:08
very angry. And. I might have
1:19:10

1:25:25
engineer mighty chunks or as you might understand
1:25:27
where the scan came from is like this
1:25:29
natural thing that comes out and and there's
1:25:32
an impossible thing that happened and you can
1:25:34

1:25:42
higher level be the owner soooo every com
1:25:44
know like no one free that is It
1:25:47
happens at a much higher levels like it's.
1:25:50
It's. Like. Or.
1:25:52
Not he got a much higher levels, just a stream
1:25:54
of consciousness of like what you're imagining the song is
1:25:56
While was into the song and same time ago I
1:25:58
had a pockets of business. Little the
1:26:01
lobby juice world. he comes from the world. As usual
1:26:03
he knew just as I'm pretty sure he was
1:26:05
like super home is would use well before it
1:26:07
passes that whole thing I don't even know. I think
1:26:09
that emerged in there is a doctor a documentary
1:26:11
coming out that the film cover all that which
1:26:13
I'm not too well versed on know him super well
1:26:15
but as a musician in the studio was like.
1:26:18
Oh. Wow, he's very concerned about the music I'm been
1:26:20
it would a lot of people have been to say
1:26:22
that up. I mean that he's he's super super. Tell
1:26:24
the he was right in a room he likes. Now.
1:26:26
I'm not sad. Anymore and it would be a
1:26:29
lie to be awesome. Sad voice it. So I
1:26:31
was like whoa and he twenty. For.
1:26:33
Him not to be like this is my art my
1:26:35
can't change who I am and citizens it as the
1:26:37
to expect from a twenty year old kid your and
1:26:39
that's exactly what he was. Lights. Your
1:26:42
one? like have fun, I want people to
1:26:44
like, be joyful, and I'm and I'm ready to
1:26:46
step into that number, Stand on business in, and
1:26:48
and do that. Not. Goliath that's an
1:26:50
artist yeah and he started messing all the things
1:26:52
that he's inspired by simulating Neptunes and the Frail
1:26:54
and them both and thing that is as soon
1:26:57
as like I know about that for our group
1:26:59
that has a list of into some stuff and
1:27:01
and what inspired me in and he was institute
1:27:03
and we just ended up hookers and wilde ship.
1:27:05
If it works out it works out or even
1:27:08
or the photo come out but if the song
1:27:10
comes out a does well. As.
1:27:12
Some this great stuff, some good music.
1:27:14
How's the writing process? whether it's with them
1:27:17
or with somebody else is what's the what's
1:27:19
the writing process In a way where you
1:27:21
sit down with an artist and they they
1:27:23
come to you with may be ideas of
1:27:25
somewhere that they want to nail and a
1:27:27
certain story line there neuronal. Sometimes artist or
1:27:29
like say made me and I'll I'll be back
1:27:31
and seven month. Or
1:27:34
got it all. And five days my my say
1:27:36
god because. I don't
1:27:38
really just want. I woke up and it was a
1:27:40
felt like was right there. Were
1:27:44
several. God.
1:27:48
God doesn't. Exist
1:27:51
So I also think my
1:27:53
age. Jersey originally
1:27:55
people like I don't have owner of
1:27:57
the.but as I went out and sometimes.
1:28:00
The artist they'll be ours that I've worked with
1:28:02
where you're just walking and be great and they
1:28:04
just need somebody in the room to just be
1:28:06
a sounding board of being like while you're amazing.
1:28:08
I have some the sometimes which is why it's
1:28:10
not crazy to get. To. Get caught up
1:28:12
over splits begins or and I have before I
1:28:15
have gotten like I did so much on the
1:28:17
that dubbed on a full that courses put on.
1:28:19
Some artists, they're just incredible and they
1:28:22
need people in the room to encourage
1:28:24
them. Another another, artists. Or. Gray a
1:28:26
nurse and they pick really good songs and they understand who
1:28:28
can give them great product and then they give you a
1:28:30
general direction and they wanted to soundlessly any do that for
1:28:32
them to. So it's like. A process
1:28:34
is completely different with every once in a couponing
1:28:37
li different situations which is again is another reason
1:28:39
why like the production writing side of it being
1:28:41
able to do it for so long to be
1:28:43
surrounded by so army p nappy ten rocks. The.
1:28:46
Julie My was a world
1:28:48
like. The masses and strangers
1:28:50
of the world. The pilots of the world.
1:28:52
The. Lot. I haven't
1:28:54
even work with them before, but the Blake's of the
1:28:56
world in the olmert than that, there's like. Oh
1:28:59
my gosh, Alex imposes of the world and there's
1:29:01
so many talented and of not saying any both
1:29:03
names is not thinking about right? Albus. I.
1:29:05
Forgot my point I talking about how
1:29:08
talented everybody was on. His.
1:29:10
It's much different. It's much different every single time
1:29:12
if there is no formula and there is no
1:29:14
way to like quantify it. which is actually why
1:29:16
splits are so hard and why. Credit.
1:29:19
And band split up and all the stuff is your
1:29:21
like making a lightning out of a bottle every day
1:29:23
out for someone to be like. I'm the reason that
1:29:25
the lightnings in there and I deserved thirty six percent.
1:29:27
This is like you're just justifying what you think you
1:29:29
since you think because that's what you believe your some
1:29:31
respects I use I rented should the labels be given
1:29:33
a six points to. Boomerang, In
1:29:35
our had to guess what? I'm Chinese
1:29:38
culture and the Ceos like you can
1:29:40
have six points. The seat of a
1:29:42
lotta yadda giving us a label. Giving
1:29:44
us a label. g Being a producer,
1:29:47
six points out of a hundred is
1:29:49
the equivalent of them sitting on a
1:29:51
cow. And the U
1:29:53
S C fight is happening and they go drop us
1:29:55
one states in the middle of the ring and eight
1:29:57
till the six producers who work in the song. Six.
1:30:00
There's one is us. Go fight for it. Figure it
1:30:02
out. And everyone was. A
1:30:04
little sad a piece on the end because I've
1:30:06
made most of the song. And you go to like. Idiots
1:30:09
we have? Maybe. Seven points and they're
1:30:11
fighting for three. Anything to be should be
1:30:13
grateful if we give them seven instead of
1:30:15
six Autobots. you're more on. That's literally what
1:30:18
they're all think. She's laughing hysterically while we're
1:30:20
in the basement like my soul. When I'm
1:30:22
just trying to present myself and all the
1:30:24
culture and how to change course it does
1:30:26
look. great job to do with it. Give
1:30:29
us more so he can get names and
1:30:31
preserve it. For. Argument saying
1:30:33
that isn't violence since to spur somebody
1:30:35
is I'm sorry. I'm sorry. For.
1:30:38
Someone to be a producer. You know how
1:30:40
many hours? I'm sorry you're sitting at that
1:30:42
chair and your your backs hunched over cause
1:30:44
you've done it for so many hours. for
1:30:46
the new to finally get an opportunity to
1:30:48
work with a big orders and label says
1:30:50
you're lucky to be working with them years.
1:30:52
Two points. Go Flying Fuck yourself. Go flying
1:30:54
Fuck yourself. Not cool Bro Not cool bro.
1:30:56
Have seen it, I've done it, I've participated
1:30:59
in it and it's crazy. So waters ago,
1:31:01
melee born. They can the in and change
1:31:03
the way that the game is. Yet Tory
1:31:05
kids will retaliate our the did you do
1:31:07
that. Almost.
1:31:09
Two years ago is is hurt Anybody on your mind
1:31:11
that you're like okay cool let's is a okay So
1:31:14
granted a lot of artists that are working right now
1:31:16
and the lot of or to coming up in the
1:31:18
reason that the music industry is crushed is crumbling is
1:31:20
because these ours are getting fifty points. They're.
1:31:22
Getting to the point. But right now in
1:31:24
the industry, I'm talking about the industry of
1:31:26
writers and producers first of all. Furthermore, And.
1:31:29
Whatever, I'm not, I'm not a partisan and I'm
1:31:31
not. I'm just talking freely as or not finalized
1:31:33
with myself up the be the leader of Bit
1:31:35
of nothing. This is how I feel about us
1:31:37
as a writer. I should be get massive voice.
1:31:39
I should not be getting policy, should not be
1:31:41
getting bombers and we should we should get publicity.
1:31:43
We should have even splits an opposing the thought
1:31:45
we should be getting massive points as well to
1:31:47
not have that is this publishing you make money
1:31:49
at the radio. And will
1:31:52
lose the list leaves the radio someone is because the
1:31:54
still lot of money in advertising when you get a
1:31:56
hit record. As a writer you make money on the
1:31:58
publicity but as a writer you don't see the streaming
1:32:00
money because you don't get any points. And.
1:32:02
The little as one hundred of them. A
1:32:04
hundred of them if I rate of i write
1:32:06
holy for Justin Bieber and I have three points
1:32:08
on us off as a two million dollar song.
1:32:11
Out of three points there's a hundred. Oh shut
1:32:13
up. Shut up your it. Shut up. Set up
1:32:15
your it. Is Not the point. That's
1:32:17
not the point is that. The point
1:32:19
that we they were be a renaissance on
1:32:21
m. I didn't even plans they. Would be
1:32:23
a renaissance in music if the labels
1:32:25
if everybody gave the writers and the
1:32:27
producers more points because then we don't
1:32:29
have to make. That
1:32:32
much bullshit. we can Middle east room with
1:32:34
a little bullshit. says. Or said I
1:32:36
might I want to work with that I might not.
1:32:38
Every work with because is like I have a family
1:32:40
to feed Add things to do I have. I can't
1:32:42
just to do my passion progress can just do the
1:32:44
starting to die hungry. So if you wanna be a
1:32:46
leader provide for your family still wanna make music you're
1:32:48
gonna have to make some decisions to. Okay this isn't
1:32:50
the most like greatest thing I've ever worked on but
1:32:52
like men were my job as and lot of people
1:32:54
are numbers is now. They want to work artistically. Great
1:32:56
stuff. They do these producers they really want to work
1:32:58
but they also need to feed a family. So the
1:33:00
first ten years of them working on records working with
1:33:02
orders that they probably not want this. but if you
1:33:04
gave him twenty points. On the label size
1:33:06
labels. If. You're even here in the next
1:33:09
five years. You. Should be giving them
1:33:11
more boys because in the be inspired to work with
1:33:13
their favorite artist the big, their favorite music that doesn't
1:33:15
have someone some this on the radio own something about
1:33:17
the writer and producer industries that the writer producer just
1:33:19
for there goes that goes with acting as well with
1:33:21
a lot of people are like yo. I just wrote
1:33:23
the script. You. Made all this money and
1:33:26
I only got the fifty kg me to write
1:33:28
it. That's crazy crazy. What? Only. That's why there
1:33:30
was a sag stake you know for the writers and.
1:33:32
Okay, so let's just read this is on writers
1:33:34
and producers. No one's got no, but it's you
1:33:36
know how Mississauga asses to pay for as a
1:33:39
writer Producer for me to get dental for my
1:33:41
family. I'm. Okay, I'm making good
1:33:43
money. I've been successful, but I've had
1:33:45
to be juggernaut Olympian successful just. Just
1:33:47
to have benefits that. Normal. Could have
1:33:49
worked at a dentist office. guess and is
1:33:52
like noble is no way. Both the none
1:33:54
of these writers of Do Sullivan all ramen
1:33:56
noodles ramen noodles and of the oh by
1:33:58
the way. Artist whose
1:34:00
an enormous ours is gonna take ninety two percent of
1:34:02
the song you wrote. one hundred percent of your lucky
1:34:04
to have your a process It will give you your
1:34:06
first second your by your first home off of it.
1:34:08
But. Just be lucky blood. But then the artist
1:34:10
has been Rama Noodles. Will always
1:34:12
take that deal because they don't have any money
1:34:15
so you're putting them in up in a in
1:34:17
a rough position. that's a tough thing to do.
1:34:19
You also said something similar in the studio because
1:34:21
our local wanna she's as you're at a level
1:34:23
Just move on and this is this. Stuck with
1:34:25
me He said as i don't do it. The.
1:34:28
Hungry Kid that is right behind me in the
1:34:31
thousands that are lined up behind. As it is,
1:34:33
it's only partially there's a killer Berkeley watching his
1:34:35
right now. That's like. One
1:34:37
day Oma have a mood that it is
1:34:39
there but until then my mom pay my
1:34:41
freaking me get the sandwiches in the cafeteria.
1:34:43
I gotta get this thing off the ground.
1:34:45
So like a young nineteen year old eighteen
1:34:47
year olds on someone comes with ten thousand
1:34:50
dollars and lie though you going to be
1:34:52
real rich Row com a sign. The thing and
1:34:54
do the third. They might even. Know they're getting screwed
1:34:56
over but the doorman up even be able to
1:34:58
get open unless you sign with the right person
1:35:00
or you do the right thing which is also
1:35:02
it's a whole convoluted this and even as I
1:35:04
move forward in the publishing space or in the
1:35:06
label space or whatever I'm good at least try
1:35:08
to like. Really inform people with if you want
1:35:10
Siamese were dedicated to making great art. where did
1:35:12
it did Make a high product and you need
1:35:15
to call your lawyer and understand what you're getting
1:35:17
into because trust me must. It.
1:35:19
Around every corner they're going to prey on. These
1:35:21
guys are going to prey on what you don't
1:35:23
know and are going to pack it into a
1:35:25
contract. And it's It's so We put a million
1:35:27
dollars and for your face and your last three
1:35:29
generations have never seen one of fifty grand Jury
1:35:32
like so I'm rich Forever assist Cyber. It's forever
1:35:34
a million dollars on rates Forever. That. You
1:35:36
buy a house the not route lot of
1:35:38
the sands. A Cecilia deal manager takes tanning
1:35:40
a business manager takes for everybody. Shocked when
1:35:42
you're in the red and you do another
1:35:44
dime your name but I thought you were
1:35:46
millionaire. A family thinks you're a millionaire
1:35:48
in this. Music. Money ain't what it
1:35:50
used to be. As far as will
1:35:52
people think it is because the labels a
1:35:55
whole model them. And
1:35:57
they gonna for a long time. I think people probably figuring that
1:35:59
out at lower. They're crumbling. Conversations like
1:36:01
this is what opens people's
1:36:03
eyes. So if you're having
1:36:05
like, ah, of. If. You're
1:36:07
holding this information to yourself. To.
1:36:09
Me the A knows i might sound stupid is
1:36:12
as but I think you're bar. The problem is
1:36:14
if you're keeping your mouth shut while they're coming
1:36:16
and I'm punching you sri in the mouth and
1:36:18
I like you're welcome and then the you they
1:36:20
walk away and then you turn around and now
1:36:22
watching read space heaters A know what he's about
1:36:24
to go into just I know he's about to
1:36:26
get his ass kicked. Him. But
1:36:28
I'm sure hands on our senators are ordered a thing
1:36:30
like funny enough is that the thing I look I
1:36:32
lament toward and the thing that I relate to a
1:36:34
lot is that even with myself as like when an
1:36:36
artist as you to work in their signs were label
1:36:38
in the label on the master and then you think
1:36:40
I deserve twenty points on the saw. But.
1:36:43
You think in your head like oh it's Justin Bieber.
1:36:45
It's like ministers will be a big not in my
1:36:47
bill and people going to ask me that an interview
1:36:50
that you are could just be sinister do a lot
1:36:52
for my career year and a problem is you're always
1:36:54
frontloading. You're always saying i know they're screwing me here
1:36:56
but this is going to do a lot from my
1:36:58
career. I know their contractually for me and my utterly
1:37:00
for me. I'm not talking about like morals and like
1:37:02
trying to be famous nice of the sucked of to
1:37:05
another table. In a conversation.
1:37:07
But I get it though I guess I do. That is
1:37:09
like if of give a giant artist wants to work with
1:37:11
me or someone who's. Makes
1:37:13
my brand be more viable and my
1:37:16
relevance is still there. is like us
1:37:18
to to three point. But no I read
1:37:20
it. is that in the no money and my yes. And I'm in
1:37:22
the on. I've fallen victim to that, and I've
1:37:24
done that before, which is only one reason why
1:37:26
I'm speaking on it now is because now. I
1:37:31
have enough money to just not care. I
1:37:33
don't I don't care it's gonna be what
1:37:35
I feel like to school and he would
1:37:37
have this this as a as I want
1:37:39
your says saw that I was there to
1:37:41
no heat on you know nuns and is.
1:37:45
Whether you're. Missing what you love, like what you said the
1:37:47
desired as it's that label did better than the arts
1:37:49
of the more Hungarian to be obliterated. Think put
1:37:51
it this way if I had an
1:37:53
aside had eighty plus if I had
1:37:55
ninety percent of my contract instead of
1:37:57
ten percent. I have to be
1:37:59
Not. Encourage assesses. I don't know the
1:38:01
math, so I'd have to be a
1:38:03
lot more successful with Ten Percent Ninety
1:38:06
Nine. These said, I'm like, oh, they're
1:38:08
all acting like fools because they're in
1:38:10
order to get the big jackpot pay
1:38:12
as you have to do fifty thousand
1:38:14
size would you really probably need to
1:38:16
do if I have ninety percent of
1:38:18
my contract. I don't really need
1:38:21
to be that successful without that with whatever the
1:38:23
fuck I want. their poison. The water that's all
1:38:25
the of artists as start are amazing with their
1:38:27
talents but then they go off into some weird
1:38:29
venture. You are we? What is? Why are you
1:38:31
doing that you're doing? If we all know you're
1:38:34
doing that for attention there is little lieutenant economy
1:38:36
like like. Were. Also, so desensitized to
1:38:38
it. While the contracts are bad that
1:38:40
these orders to some degree. Or
1:38:43
another the any what to meet me. What?
1:38:45
I had to be com or felt I
1:38:47
was doing or felt that I was shifting
1:38:49
into was bit was a mixture of all
1:38:51
those things. The content hey gimme attention at
1:38:53
the breakthrough be so fantastical that I get
1:38:56
all the attention and I also have the
1:38:58
like. Be this perfect
1:39:00
tour and is perfect person from a management my
1:39:02
per person for this position for this resist that
1:39:04
it turns you into a thing that you don't
1:39:06
eat. Meet his. We. Just got
1:39:08
the contract right. Prince was targeted for all
1:39:10
other. Friends. Brisbane. Dharma masters the
1:39:13
masses and it's. Young. Kids
1:39:15
don't want to hear about this is not. Is
1:39:17
that ah fly not exciting fact that is exciting
1:39:19
when you get in with the Ceo states a
1:39:21
key. To the ill spot make they pay for
1:39:23
it to order to our meal. One day I'm
1:39:26

1:39:28
grand. yeah this is the sightings and they get
1:39:30
sued the new artists and then you pull been
1:39:32
around them and then you would have a eulogy.
1:39:34
healthy. Three points. oh maybe one. Or three points
1:39:36
and in the song the hit is gonna go I'll
1:39:38
take. My three and is like six years
1:39:40
later. You're like there's one hundred of those
1:39:42
points. And I made all that. And
1:39:44
Arts wasn't in the room. Little
1:39:50
amazing than L Y Z Crazy guy
1:39:52

we were. we were the Ceo, we all
1:41:26
were watching all these reviews of on. We
1:41:28
were reading all these reviews on sort of
1:41:30
Pepper Zone or Com Club band and the
1:41:33
the title was the worst thing the Bills
1:41:35
have ever done a there's a shit storm
1:41:37
of nothingness. It was like this title that
1:41:39
I guess was published in England and whatever.
1:41:41
There was probably like six headlines. For.
1:41:43
Like six had lost else was beautiful.
1:41:46
Since I've away by now, you get
1:41:48
this game or Kitty X X Talk
1:41:50
about this shit is the worst fucking
1:41:52
albums you've ever made. Go fuck yourself.
1:41:55
And there's three thousand of those that
1:41:57
the artist is really nice to. Just.
1:42:00
Like you're when you com a worker Me:
1:42:02
what do you need to do Math roms
1:42:04
on? I'll be out weariness Together: we're trying
1:42:06
to survive all of this. Other things, the
1:42:08
canceling opinions the did it is a. Were.
1:42:10
Going to be opinion was blobs and twenty years
1:42:13
if we don't with people make mistakes, don't have
1:42:15
a little more grace with artists who may be
1:42:17
too too much credit for the things. Their egos
1:42:19
broken because they're trying to remain famous. That is
1:42:22
this. Like man. All that to be said. I
1:42:24
get to work on uses. Everyday. Amen.
1:42:28
Amen and grave intimate. I'm sorry that was
1:42:30
a wild pandas. Know that was so well
1:42:32
explained. I think that's a good thing for
1:42:34
everybody to hear and understand his. You just
1:42:36
gave everybody understanding and softness. Now for those
1:42:38
aren't as like you just opened up that
1:42:40
door and I think the that for. Have
1:42:42
resolved in them to they're making the mind at all the whole
1:42:44
pot as you be doing with everybody Say. That the
1:42:46
minded people. As a whole thing
1:42:48
has the whole is all causes. Jim Carey's i wish
1:42:50
everybody got rich to the to find out that it
1:42:53
does mean shit or whatever from Barbara a little. I
1:42:55
think those are great on this is like. His
1:42:58
psyche? gotta? You gotta? Be.
1:43:00
Done as as cool as everybody. Needs a
1:43:03
little more space unless you are the best
1:43:05
way to preach by action and now you're
1:43:07
taking that action. This song about the new
1:43:09
action that the new album sure when you
1:43:12
start working on it. Officially
1:43:14
officially probably like three months ago. Where it?
1:43:16
Or or two months ago? Or whenever. The.
1:43:19
Will result in downstairs yeah those are
1:43:21
three months got of the loose canons.
1:43:23
there's was like yo yours You now
1:43:26
are making the huge chunk majority of
1:43:28
off your own music or. Maybe.
1:43:30
We hear back. I was like. And. I served
1:43:32
as cooking because it was like oh I don't have
1:43:34
any way that likely to what I was only wanted.
1:43:37
One is so exciting is like I picked up so
1:43:39
much in six years. My taste as seems completely what
1:43:41
I'm into. What I'm not into what I think is
1:43:43
really cool where think is not cool would was tasteful
1:43:45
to me or all as it was of and. Of
1:43:47
their yesterday's like a full of in for six years of
1:43:50
in in the gym. Just. Crafting
1:43:52
product the making saw for high
1:43:54
embark times and exactly. Associate
1:43:57
earners out about the get nerdy quickly.
1:44:00
That felt like I believe that way you know it
1:44:02
knows lesson as a hit to get. The.
1:44:04
Product that I was working on. an issue that
1:44:06
I was working on. The best athletes in the
1:44:08
world will wearing the zoo his legs and in the
1:44:10
get to see a real time will worsen Were doesn't
1:44:13
wear cultures that and whatever. such as an exciting
1:44:15
landscape to be like and now known that tell me
1:44:17
shit and I couldn't keep my head. I'd knowing that
1:44:19
the work on putting in for my family I'll be
1:44:21
compensated properly for it. That's all. That's a huge
1:44:23
factor as well. Even though you're getting nine, you should
1:44:26
be kept working. You weren't getting that. he was any
1:44:28
contract you should have. It.
1:44:30
It is not about the money. Why did you just keep
1:44:32
working on that? It is as like well to say that
1:44:34
I don't care at all about making money off of what
1:44:37
I'm working on very hard for and dedicating my whole life
1:44:39
to Silly to say that like I don't care about that
1:44:41
or even if it it has nothing to do with money.
1:44:43
Take money out of the equation. I don't
1:44:45
think anybody could go into work knowing that the. People
1:44:48
that are working than are open mindedly screwed around them
1:44:50
exactly. It's just weird want to? It's like a marriage
1:44:52
of your if I am with my girl like you
1:44:55
I love my girl but she treats I'm in love
1:44:57
with what am I doing exactly is as and there's
1:44:59
a flavor to that I want to make sure I'm
1:45:01
like putting was taking the ground and as well to
1:45:04
this is also the norm of the industry and the
1:45:06
zebra try and make livings and the the more compassion
1:45:08
to have around the situation is like our necessarily even
1:45:10
think that they were like had sang and they're like
1:45:12
trying to screw me over foot like maybe some woman
1:45:15
willingly doing that and that makes me angry at that
1:45:17
would make me whatever whatever. But like. You.
1:45:19
Know they're they're just everyone's is going off
1:45:22
the norm. It is so happens that the
1:45:24
norm in this industry for writers and producers
1:45:26
and creative is as stupid as the dumbest
1:45:28
in super poignant testing. But this Rust Russes
1:45:30
Russes. I've never met him, never had com
1:45:32
season with him. I know nothing about him,
1:45:35
but from the distance I've seen things when
1:45:37
I'm like. Swung. You to go
1:45:39
my tv don't have the app the recovery force
1:45:41
for he pops up when he's talking about the
1:45:43
certainly they are you like love? I wonder why
1:45:46
the little crabby. A you otherwise a
1:45:48
little grab your television attitude about what he's saying is
1:45:50
like is is on a sick the shit out some
1:45:52
by to be like they'll we could be different widow
1:45:54
will you know it's even cooler? Know. When
1:45:56
you could do without any bitterness. Trick.
1:45:59
Is often. If I. Got.
1:46:01
It. But then I'm giving the information to
1:46:03
read that so he doesn't get that pain
1:46:05
and. He doesn't want to hear me
1:46:07
if I'm just bitter to them and ruling elite remotely.
1:46:09
Here's the with Don't I don't want to take exams
1:46:12
A guy I'm absolutely as. But if as bro said
1:46:14
new, that's why god as why don't you on this
1:46:16
cheek you given the other one Nothing is more intimidating
1:46:18
to Amanda When you hit him and you're like oh
1:46:20
that's it. So the So when
1:46:22
you go out you guys are messing with me here.
1:46:24
you taking advantage from here? That's cool, that's how you
1:46:26
guys want to go about it. All that so we
1:46:28
find a Mccall you are on and and when I
1:46:31
leave I'm gonna give you guys grace to the hopefully
1:46:33
use as to learn better. I think if I would
1:46:35
have made an album after. Me: Finding all
1:46:37
this out and tried to push through. It.
1:46:39
Would have been that it would have been a
1:46:41
whole other reasoning for doing it. Now the stuff
1:46:44
are making on like to thank God I waited
1:46:46
six years the get me to some degree my
1:46:48
spirit more correct than it was before Nine God
1:46:50
I'm I'm coming from a different place of gratefulness
1:46:52
and whatever is in the music now really reflect
1:46:54
us And it's like if I can give people
1:46:57
gems, scrapes in real time, if I can give
1:46:59
People gyms on this album to some degree of
1:47:01
a man who's been through it but isn't just
1:47:03
covered in bitterness you're going to receive. Wisdom.
1:47:06
In a palatable, edible way that will edify a lot
1:47:08
of people and that's what I hope as as well.
1:47:10
I hope the the Music room when you go to
1:47:12
war and go back to your corner of the you
1:47:14
just fighting. My coaches god right and
1:47:16
I and i go to the coach and a my
1:47:18
mind on thing and coaches gonna be like. Yeah.
1:47:21
They're wrong. Did I do this because I'm like your
1:47:23
wisdom would look at them but you know got always does
1:47:25
to me. He goes go in the mirror. And
1:47:27
if you're not winning the words, you're not them. Bull.
1:47:31
And I go Okay well what does that mean
1:47:33
He goes. Will you have limitless everything I am
1:47:35
with you. I can walk on water and bring
1:47:37
you back to license to dead you have literally
1:47:40
impossible and your right hand. If
1:47:42
you're failing, Because. You knew
1:47:44
that them. If it's not the demons,
1:47:46
not like oh gods, not powerful enough
1:47:48
to take this demon goddess. The year
1:47:50
I think of is when you were
1:47:52
at the park and like it uses
1:47:54
all children but we think God is
1:47:56
on our level so he's also scared
1:47:58
in the situation. Godlike. Watching us
1:48:00
at the park when a little boy at a
1:48:02
park and he sees a dog in the in
1:48:04
his eyes he sees a lion. Yeah and it's
1:48:06
all this a bit and gov in your father's
1:48:08
i've been get enough because you like are the
1:48:10
worse he's gonna do is let you. but from
1:48:12
your perspective you like this thing is going to
1:48:14
devour me. It's going to eat meat, going to
1:48:16
scare shred me I can't stand before this monster
1:48:18
and then in the it's in an elixir joke
1:48:20
and then you're like oh no wonder God was
1:48:22
a freaking out with me. As ugly as he
1:48:24
knew was going on Lawson to don't say absolutely
1:48:26
ah. How would you describe so
1:48:29
your new songs? How would you describe
1:48:31
the stories that you're telling an
1:48:33
what those means you are seated. Yeah.
1:48:36
Yeah you'd like a we wanna like top and
1:48:38
we wanna talk about them is but we also
1:48:40
don't know we're allowed to reveal yeah legacy.for each
1:48:42
one or with devil describe a no I'm going
1:48:44
to put our Arizona this remember when we have
1:48:46
like you have a little started I have is
1:48:48
I was I should have you don't That. Is
1:48:52
very much like talking. I'm talking to myself in
1:48:55
real time is a character that keeps popping up
1:48:57
an album. It's a. It's.
1:48:59
Like the younger version of me, that's
1:49:01
like doing these little like moments in
1:49:03
these things were it looks like a
1:49:05
feature was never really feature to sunlight
1:49:07
young mean since and. They're.
1:49:10
All like marches and little pallets and
1:49:12
things of like. Even.
1:49:14
For me usually I'm more of a like you know
1:49:16
exactly what's going on find a writer like I'm very
1:49:19
much pain the picture but in this one the perspectives
1:49:21
are changing and all times like certain vs on like.
1:49:23
This. Me talking a goddess. Me talking to myself.
1:49:25
This is me talking to a friend. But I'm
1:49:27
never saying hey, my friend, I'm talking to You
1:49:30
know, they're all these weird vignettes of these moments
1:49:32
of things that I think when people just experience
1:49:34
than one a visceral level. You'll you'll get this
1:49:36
like. Primordial. Deeper
1:49:38
sense of like listening to something. Yeah.
1:49:41
Says like. Yeah, I'm I'm
1:49:43
excited about how. Free
1:49:46
as it is it's very as Israel's free
1:49:48
is. As a no I don't even care
1:49:50
if it's it's it's a it's a bizarre
1:49:52
his August and on businesses williams like over
1:49:54
to you as great Amanda this year. And
1:49:56
invade off of it because I have my contract
1:49:59
right? so now. then have to worry about like.
1:50:01
Some. Giants. Scope.
1:50:04
Of people enjoying it because it is
1:50:06
our have to go crazy in order
1:50:08
for it to be successful home but
1:50:10
this is why a successful. Do
1:50:12
you go saying like when we're literally built our
1:50:14
i'd better Yale Euro I came back from listening
1:50:16
to the first I looked at them and I
1:50:18
go your he ruined music remember when I was
1:50:21
in a gym I just threw the follow my
1:50:23
mother's of his i just what is a sir
1:50:25
I'm not a muslim us on the shelters my
1:50:27
you go into ice at that level and appreciate
1:50:29
and you're at that level because you're like you're
1:50:31
you're. You're. Not overwhelm. Yes,
1:50:33
it is a to. I.
1:50:36
Can make. I.
1:50:38
Can make walls for the Jonas Brothers and
1:50:40
doing on Snl. and do that whole thing
1:50:42
because I've. Done.
1:50:44
The thing. I'm happy I
1:50:46
stayed in the flight because I've done the thing thought
1:50:49
not yeah, exactly exactly the a net and invest what
1:50:51
my heart goes out the on producers, young artist, young
1:50:53
writers or whatever because you just stay in the fight
1:50:55
because you gotta kind of do the thing. On
1:51:00
that a different place and it's like is that
1:51:02
I would say to cheat code to somebody might
1:51:04
listen to the music is not for me so
1:51:06
nazis a seagull. but it's almost unfair because it's
1:51:08
like I'm not. I have no fear of. Commercial.
1:51:11
Success. I have no fear of my contract of
1:51:13
the being a hit record as all those things
1:51:15
are gone because I put through the working gone
1:51:17
through that ringer to have the freedom to me
1:51:20
what I want a makes his right grateful it's
1:51:22
an advance in are grateful standpoint exists and when
1:51:24
you work with grace you're working with God So
1:51:26
sick a setback what are I saw it we
1:51:28
for example you gave me a compliment or want
1:51:31
to highlight as you said man when you were
1:51:33
talking I could tell it was God speaking through
1:51:35
you when it came to an episode that eight
1:51:37
episode yes that I was any this ever get
1:51:40
off because of. Obesity in private businesses is
1:51:42
no difference in thrive in that the thing now
1:51:44
But. Every time I
1:51:46
was like this is where it's gonna go
1:51:48
into a thing this is gonna turn into
1:51:50
like non constructive the thing the media wants
1:51:53
the thing as you gonna turn into the
1:51:55
character and that because I'm like yo jesus.
1:51:58
I'm is a smart guy. I'm
1:52:00
watching him in general throughout life and his whole
1:52:02
unfolding of whatever it is on my as a
1:52:04
really smart dude so you going there I was
1:52:06
like wow wonder how this got a pan out

1:52:21
about you they would you wanna buy as
1:52:23
a whatever? Neither of you guys really. Uma
1:52:25
being so I think. It
1:52:27
was like watching. He's
1:52:29
not going to troll because it's a long form
1:52:31
conversation with somebody who's brilliant as well. Sources are:
1:52:33
I'm I'm coming off at the I'm I'm getting
1:52:35
off the topic or whatever you want to talk
1:52:37
about, but I was just. I
1:52:40
was a while got was in that room because
1:52:42
it was very like he's got to religion and
1:52:44
it was as like. On the heels of
1:52:46
he prepare his idea of like when he got
1:52:48
into that being like i want to my closet
1:52:50
you go to your closet and less and less
1:52:52
figure that out and maybe one of our god
1:52:54
will show up on. I mean I never even
1:52:56
thought about having a conversation with somebody about faith
1:52:58
or whatever gets are hang out people who believe
1:53:00
in the lot of different things and I do
1:53:02
too like wow that's a great way of looking
1:53:04
at it. I didn't let your guys are a
1:53:06
little like Alice and I just i may point
1:53:08
being is luggage or embassy you say that to
1:53:10
him and away in whatever and I was just
1:53:13
like. I'm. Happy I said yes, the
1:53:15
doing this or I'm I'm I'm pumped to talk to
1:53:17
somebody like that that sits at an orgy Bushnell as
1:53:19
much as want to make sure that like I was
1:53:21
yours and fans understood that like. People.
1:53:23
Are watching from the stands being like oh
1:53:25
wow, this isn't like some weird trap and
1:53:27
we're talking about it yesterday. Like the guy
1:53:29
who says the offensive shit, the person to
1:53:32
pretend that's not going on what's going on
1:53:34
at all, and then the other person who's
1:53:36
like. They're. Crazy flickering argument as
1:53:38
an interview for such a few years. A
1:53:40
I think it's all these guys. They're just
1:53:42
so inappropriate. Meanwhile the like get angry and
1:53:44
sad as it is how many visitors can
1:53:46
have your i'd like to sit it out
1:53:48
of it. Seeing someone not do that was
1:53:50
was very refreshing as as a regular guy
1:53:52
who liked the regular joe that was very
1:53:54
refreshing says cool to see somebody winning that's
1:53:57
that's. More people than
1:53:59
what talk to you. The law regardless of the
1:54:01
only dog idea and three our to bring
1:54:03
that up. oh thank you so much rather
1:54:05
was not a know what there is. I
1:54:07
said that is because it is actually documented
1:54:10
as we document almost every single thing. I
1:54:12
walked into that room and ice I was
1:54:14
praying outlawed and I said god you're this
1:54:16
is your room He speaks through me and
1:54:18
that's why when you would ask me something
1:54:20
and I would just a it just like
1:54:23
see you out of my mouse is because
1:54:25
my preparation was putting my God first and
1:54:27
so I said god we're going to war,
1:54:29
I'm running. The drums I going total. I
1:54:31
am going to speak. I don't care about
1:54:33
my career, I don't care about my place
1:54:35
now care about my find out as use
1:54:38
me as a tool. I'd be honored. And
1:54:40
when people come up to me and they
1:54:42
say that I said cedar complements in a
1:54:44
me it's all the king of kings see
1:54:46
just placed me somebody utensils when people go
1:54:48
All I started my relationship with God because
1:54:50
you know he did it my lips. I'm
1:54:52
the messenger of you. Go shoot the messenger.
1:54:54
don't think the messenger and I'm just the
1:54:57
vessels. Now before I get to work I
1:54:59
presented some. My dog is around that you
1:55:01
do that with your muses. Yeah had to
1:55:03
learn to do. If it's if it's with
1:55:05
what I'm making every day is just an
1:55:07
offer. That's. All I'm doing everyday is
1:55:09
everywhere. Is it like a breathing taxi? Like honey you
1:55:11
are. You would vitamin like what? What's the what's the
1:55:14
was loud as well as like. I
1:55:20
think at times generally I could do a better
1:55:22
job at have inviting him in a one hundred
1:55:24
percent of the time when I'm working. that's for
1:55:26
sure. I'd love. I'd love to be consistently imagining.
1:55:30
Everything being ran through the guise of what god
1:55:32
want me to do you nonsense. But I think
1:55:34
because he gave me the gift I feel I
1:55:36
feel something with me out when I'm working all
1:55:38
the time. Oh my God. That's the thing that
1:55:40
I'd like to believe a get to interact with
1:55:42
this thing, this idea that pops into my head
1:55:44
or the whatever of us will come back every
1:55:46
this. So I think it. I just think of
1:55:48
it or now and my older age had try
1:55:50
to think of it as an offer. This is
1:55:52
like. When my
1:55:54
son brings me in was on brings me a
1:55:56
crayon. That even a crown think she's is.
1:55:58
this is like a on. I'd be lying
1:56:00
in the olden have yet to like show me
1:56:03
a picture but when he does something at two
1:56:05
years old when he does something and he shows
1:56:07
it to me. He. I.
1:56:10
Don't give a fuck that it's bad. It's my
1:56:12

My son tells me that the best I can and
1:56:53

1:56:55

1:56:57
hundred us. That. The to the
1:56:59
know. He's. Well pleased
1:57:01
and me doing the best the can whether
1:57:03
it's commercially successful and becomes a number one
1:57:05
roof And think this artist's. Plight.
1:57:08
It's nice to make money and we sit whenever
1:57:10
down with the purest, whatever public. Yeah.
1:57:13
And you ask, what is it the preparation
1:57:15
of the whatever it's like. Holy.
1:57:17
Crap. I get to go do this for a
1:57:19
living. Holy crap out. It will. I
1:57:21
would say that level. Of like Guinier
1:57:24
and make things like oh my gosh,
1:57:26
is that what? you're never gonna hate
1:57:28
me into stopping. Your resume.
1:57:30
Whatever the fuck is it? Oh man. I
1:57:33
guess I'm always up again. And again and again.
1:57:35
A Do it from just grateful Source like.
1:57:37
I present everything as the like picture on
1:57:39
the refrigerator. Dumb. As
1:57:42
they aren't you so happy? Worries like yes I am
1:57:44
and like made I try really hard given the tools
1:57:46
I have. My son did the best he could as
1:57:48
a two year old. I'm doing the best I can
1:57:50
or trying to as a thirty three year old which
1:57:52
is still rags to compared to what he can do
1:57:54
and do my life forever. But he gave me life
1:57:57
and he made me a little creator and I want
1:57:59
to create little things. A lot creating
1:58:01
little things that's great that in
1:58:03
the beginning was the word and
1:58:05
do when you record on. A
1:58:08
song is the vibrations as in
1:58:10
size versa down as everything's vibrating.
1:58:14
In the beginning was the word and he
1:58:16
spoke creation. And. Existence.
1:58:19
And. Were made in his image. Which means
1:58:21
we also fear that power when we all
1:58:23
start with our mouse. On
1:58:25
So. How we train our
1:58:27
town is how we're going to train her
1:58:29
whole body. And for example you see people
1:58:32
that are anxious or depressed they're always I
1:58:34
do like camps for ages are normally to
1:58:36
press but the people that are happy and
1:58:38
was even when you know they're going to
1:58:40
things. I watched a man who lost his
1:58:43
father but his father taught him don't be
1:58:45
a victim bro like work he's walking out
1:58:47
with it. Had a smiley is because his
1:58:49
tongue as delusion. he's speaking positive news, moving
1:58:51
positive. Know his his body and soul moves
1:58:54
after his tongue. Soviet no control over your
1:58:56
town. You. Have no discipline Which means you're
1:58:58
temple was not ran by God. It's
1:59:00
run by saying wow Agree! So now
1:59:02
that you've been positioned into a life
1:59:04
where you like oh can I know
1:59:06
God's using me if you had to
1:59:08
assemble these tools in teach your son
1:59:10
how to perform if you god forbid
1:59:12
I to leave and in see shit
1:59:15
see you. Great question. If you would
1:59:17
have to give a one advice to
1:59:19
any type of environment he's gonna be
1:59:21
on. What's that?
1:59:23
advice? How would
1:59:25
you help him? Control did not
1:59:27
only his mouth but his temple
1:59:29
to surrounding what's that of. If
1:59:34
is a God is wearing a job that's my. That's
1:59:36
my take on it isn't Thanks was like all degrees.
1:59:38
Anybody who doesn't feel that way wherever god you are
1:59:40
sitting. Whatever it is, it's yeah. always. Got.
1:59:43
Israel Jesus does the word or starts
1:59:45
with first of also moral compass of
1:59:47
that sort there because you'll find out
1:59:49
about more about yourself I believe it
1:59:51
within that space on. Oh.
1:59:57
Man, I know, I don't necessarily know what. can
1:59:59
I say? something? There could you just said
2:00:01
something? I gotta share with you. The you
2:00:03
said got a source of God and he
2:00:05
he created use when people have identity issues
2:00:07
and we haven't and so many forms now
2:00:09
right? So many forms that it comes I
2:00:12
don't know kind of music, i'm a produce
2:00:14
or are even know what gender I am.
2:00:16
There's so many identity issues and at this
2:00:18
might be challenging but I really would pray
2:00:20
that a lot of years hear what I'm
2:00:22
about to say. If you do not know
2:00:25
your identity may be because you don't know
2:00:27
your create or. While. Five.
2:00:30
Of us really great If I had a Mercedes
2:00:32
Benz I'm not taking as a Honda to the
2:00:35
opened it up and in the gods the bit
2:00:37
of we don't know what this as we never
2:00:39
built it. But people
2:00:41
want to rely on their phones. Their
2:00:43
friends, their these. Other people that
2:00:46
are pretending they got it on a on
2:00:48
a video if you want to wake up,
2:00:50
smack yourself and job and ice and is
2:00:52
like were lax normally like and they would
2:00:54
rather you listen to all the noise. Then.
2:00:57
Just take a few minutes to yourself. And.
2:01:00
Talk to your creator. And. How
2:01:03
many times. Has just
2:01:05
been quiet with your trader. Saved!
2:01:08
All of the mistakes you made when you're allowed. Zola,
2:01:13
A lotta as the zebra. One hundred percent in
2:01:15
taxes making sure that it's it's coming from their
2:01:17
addresses like a it. To.
2:01:19
Be on average is clip exactly what you
2:01:22
said split up for my son. That would
2:01:24
probably be great budget really have you have
2:01:26
also says but but yeah I think. Yes,
2:01:29
I agree with you so many times to start with dogs that
2:01:31
are with god for sure that for it but as far as
2:01:33
like. Fatherly. Advice
2:01:35
as like not calling from god. This is like
2:01:37
your dad was. yeah we're more you and just
2:01:39
like whatever will.is the foundation yeah in oh and
2:01:41
the analyzing the motorway, the sun. everybody's like the
2:01:44
no matter what you do and if you're if
2:01:46
you're if you're doing what you want to do.
2:01:48
People. are going have a feeling about it and then if
2:01:51
you're doing what you don't wanna do people are going to have
2:01:53
a feeling about it so you probably just go do what you
2:01:55
wanted to go do a man and it but it is your
2:01:57
responsibility before got to do the right things and find that what
2:01:59
the things are. But whether you're
2:02:01
doing the right thing or the wrong thing before God,
2:02:03
before your wife, before your kids, before whatever, everyone's gonna...
2:02:06
When you leave, you'd be shocked how well people feel
2:02:08
about themselves when they make sure everybody else sounds like
2:02:11
shit compared to them. And I fall victim to it.
2:02:13
So do I. So does she. So does... Ralph Reed
2:02:15
is actually pretty damn good at it. I'm not gonna
2:02:17
lie. Reed's really... he's good at not giving a shit
2:02:19
about anybody, whatever he thinks. But
2:02:21
you know what's crazy? Think about this, right?
2:02:24
They say in the beginning of wisdom is
2:02:26
first the fear of the Lord. We all
2:02:28
fear. We all fear. I'm scared this podcast
2:02:30
is not gonna get off the ground. I'm scared. John
2:02:33
may say no. We all have fear. But
2:02:35
if we focused our fear on more what
2:02:37
God thinks of us, instead
2:02:40
of what the A&R thinks of me,
2:02:42
the label thinks of me, my... you
2:02:44
know, this is the hardest one, John.
2:02:46
My audience thinks of me. Absolutely. Because
2:02:49
bro, how could you
2:02:52
even start by creating something
2:02:57
without a fear? It's impossible.
2:02:59
We fear something every moment of the
2:03:01
day. But if I focus that energy
2:03:03
on like, oh, I fear what God thinks of me, then
2:03:06
when so and so brings up something
2:03:08
to me, if I train this muscle enough, then
2:03:11
I'll look at them for what it is. And it's...
2:03:13
you're projecting what you hate about yourself. You're
2:03:15
focusing on the right fear. And I understand
2:03:17
you're hurting because I acted that way. So now I'm going
2:03:19
to show you grace, but I'm gonna go
2:03:21
right back to my God. And then that person that was throwing
2:03:23
out that thing goes, wait a second, he's not playing ball with
2:03:26
me. He's okay. In fact, he said
2:03:28
he forgave me. What are
2:03:30
you on, bro? You shall know them by their
2:03:32
fruits. So when I eat John's fruit back in
2:03:34
the day when he's working with the label and
2:03:36
he's scared and he was miserable and he was
2:03:38
frustrated, I'm like, okay, I don't want this fruit.
2:03:41
But now when you come out with that new album and
2:03:43
your fruit is rich by God's favoring and
2:03:45
I ate it, I need
2:03:48
more of that fruit. I love that.
2:03:51
And I would agree.
2:03:54
Yeah, that's so funny. Like, I want podcasts and
2:03:56
you add to that. It's like, no. I
2:04:01
think too is to I hope
2:04:03
the nugget I would give to my son too is that I Just
2:04:07
I just hope you know that there's nothing you could
2:04:09
do ever that would make me run from you Ever
2:04:13
that no matter what it looks like what matter what you
2:04:15
think you can't tell me and it's like I hope I'm
2:04:17
present enough while he's young to believe that in his heart
2:04:19
so that he can confide in me and tell me the
2:04:21
things that he feels weird about Or awkward about or whatever
2:04:24
because he's my son and I love him. There's no
2:04:26
there's no other There's no other thing
2:04:28
about that So I just would want him to know that like you
2:04:31
don't have to be good enough to go do the thing Just
2:04:33
go do the thing. What have you messed up a million times?
2:04:37
And what if you hated if I'm really loved
2:04:39
if I'm really understanding the prodigal son and
2:04:41
really understanding like Jesus or whatever Whatever if
2:04:43
I'm really doing that a Million
2:04:48
times times a million times a million. Amen. Amen Product
2:04:51
will bring that first by the way I've seen
2:04:53
it in my own life where where people in
2:04:56
my life have have Frustrated
2:04:58
me or done something what I perceive to be the
2:05:00
wrong thing so many times that I have been like
2:05:02
that's it There's no whatever there's no whatever I cannot
2:05:04
forgive and there's not the place to forgive and sometimes
2:05:07
There is a healthiness to putting people in
2:05:09
a proper position Because if someone's
2:05:11
gonna come steal from your house, they do it 99
2:05:13
times and you shouldn't invite them over I don't know.
2:05:15
I mean like this. There's your buking a setting boundaries
2:05:17
and like yo, you can't touch my family obvious common
2:05:19
sense when it comes to war it was a million
2:05:22
times a million times a million times a million but
2:05:24
This is your son. And by the way, I didn't
2:05:26
really understand that until I had a son Yes, once
2:05:28
I had a son, I was like, oh, oh This
2:05:31
whole thing makes and then it made me even more confident Wow
2:05:34
a son is a thing from the creator a wife
2:05:36
is a thing from the creator because I've learned things
2:05:38
about myself and seeing myself in A light that oh
2:05:41
the relationship between to reflect God and me and
2:05:43
it is a big reflection And then when you
2:05:45
see yourself in a reflection And when you
2:05:47
see yourself for what you really are you then you could
2:05:49
do the work if you're blinded to your reflection,
2:05:51
you're not gonna be able to even understand how to trim
2:05:53
the hedges and become the thing that Would
2:05:56
make you humming at the highest level vibrating at the
2:05:58
highest little bit now when you reflect God. Say
2:06:02
it again. Say it again. So you are a
2:06:04
reflection. So when you see your son, you're seeing
2:06:06
that reflection like, Oh, I understand the unforgivable. Like
2:06:08
it's just like, I will love you. There's no,
2:06:11
there's no way you can go too far. And
2:06:13
then flipping and understanding my position within God. Yeah.
2:06:15
So now when another man sees you and you
2:06:17
claim that you're Christ like, but then you don't
2:06:19
act Christ like, then they're like, I don't want
2:06:21
anything to do with Christ. But I think there's
2:06:23
a lot of myself included. There's a lot of
2:06:26
men and women out there that are very, I wasn't
2:06:31
Christ like, therefore I'm not good enough to dah,
2:06:33
dah, dah, dah, dah. And the key is you
2:06:35
were never good enough in the first place. The
2:06:37
key, the key that you're never good enough in
2:06:39
the first place. I need to bring up the
2:06:42
prodigal son verse. I have to say, please do, please do. But I
2:06:44
would, I would tell my son, I would,
2:06:46
I would absolutely tell my son that there's
2:06:53
nothing, there's nothing he could ever do.
2:06:56
There's nothing, no matter what. You love him forever.
2:06:58
Cause I do. Then I'm like, wow,
2:07:00
if there is a God, if
2:07:02
there is a God, there
2:07:05
either is one or there isn't. That's for sure. And
2:07:07
if there is the way I feel
2:07:09
about him, if I
2:07:12
was made by a creator, he has to
2:07:14
feel a through line of what I feel
2:07:16
for my son, which makes me then be
2:07:19
like, we probably could be a creator way
2:07:21
more to every person who wants to debate
2:07:23
and I'm not, whatever I'm just saying, when
2:07:25
I look at my son, I do, oh,
2:07:28
I'm like, there's for sure a through line here
2:07:31
between my dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad,
2:07:33
dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, times of
2:07:36
a Jillian, all
2:07:38
the way to God that we're all we're experiencing
2:07:40
through line. And when I look at my son,
2:07:43
I'm experiencing the through line of fathers all
2:07:45
the way back to Abba, daddy, the Abba father. I know
2:07:47
why I'm going because I'm, I feel the realness within looking
2:07:49
at my son because I know that there's fathers and their
2:07:51
sons and there's a real thing that's happening. That's
2:07:54
just, that's just, and again, that's just my take
2:07:56
on it. And it's a beautiful day and stop
2:07:58
apologizing for your take for somebody. who owns
2:08:00
a lot of reasons to brag, you
2:08:02
brag none. And you're like very apologetic
2:08:04
for your point of view. I know,
2:08:06
I got that follow up. The prodigal
2:08:08
son, and I can't wait to
2:08:11
share this one. It's a
2:08:13
story in the Bible, it's a parable. And a
2:08:15
king or owner of a lot
2:08:17
of land, he has a field, he has two sons
2:08:19
and he's like, you know what? I'm not gonna wait
2:08:21
for later to give you guys your inheritance. I will
2:08:23
give you guys your inheritance now. One son goes, thank
2:08:26
you father, and goes right back to working for his
2:08:28
father. Humble, dedicated, diligent.
2:08:30
The other son goes, peace,
2:08:32
I'm out. And he starts
2:08:34
spending his money. Let's make it modern times.
2:08:36
If this kid was around modern times, he's
2:08:38
at the strip clubs, he's doing drugs with
2:08:40
his friends, he's slaying
2:08:43
all these girls that he's always wanted
2:08:45
to slay. And then slowly the life started getting
2:08:47
harder because he's working more with Satan and he
2:08:49
started losing things and all the promises is gone.
2:08:51
And all of the visions that he has is
2:08:53
gone and now he's left with nothing. And
2:08:56
he's alone. And nobody's to
2:08:58
blame besides him. It was your decision.
2:09:01
You did this. And when he was by
2:09:03
himself, broken, scared,
2:09:06
lost, and lastly, hungry,
2:09:09
he goes, man, my
2:09:12
dad or my father gave me
2:09:14
everything. I'm
2:09:16
not worthy to go back to my dad and ask
2:09:18
him for forgiveness, but I know that the
2:09:21
slaves, the servants that work for my father,
2:09:23
they eat better than me now. So
2:09:25
let me go back to my dad, even though I'm
2:09:27
not good enough, even though he
2:09:29
should spit in my face when I show myself,
2:09:32
let me go beg him, let me work for you.
2:09:35
And let me maybe that way you could see that this
2:09:37
is a new version of me and then I'm gonna build
2:09:39
from here. And all
2:09:41
of a sudden his father sees him from
2:09:43
far away. So he hasn't confessed.
2:09:46
He hasn't cried.
2:09:48
He hasn't told his father he's changing,
2:09:51
but he sees his son walking and
2:09:54
he drops everything and he starts running,
2:09:56
running to his child and he grabs him and he
2:09:59
tells his other son. son that's been there forever.
2:10:01
He goes go grab the biggest lamb cut
2:10:03
it. We're having a party today. Your
2:10:06
brother's here. My son is here and now
2:10:08
the son's looking at the dad being like
2:10:10
what are you talking about? I'm just here
2:10:12
to be a slave for you not even
2:10:14
your son anymore. I know I threw that
2:10:16
away and the dad grabs him he goes
2:10:18
don't worry go go get him go get
2:10:21
him slippers go get him a robe and
2:10:23
he's putting grace forgiveness love more of an
2:10:25
inheritance more than he deserves and the other
2:10:27
son goes whoa what the
2:10:29
hell is this? I haven't left you
2:10:31
I've been here the whole time
2:10:35
and his father turns to me goes don't
2:10:37
talk like that your brother's alive
2:10:40
he's here now we love him.
2:10:45
That was given to everyone there
2:10:47
is no position in your life that
2:10:50
you've gone too far where God can't see you.
2:10:54
If you want to change your ways now
2:10:57
don't think you have to be a better
2:11:00
person to come before God. Yes. He is
2:11:02
your father he's ready to roll up his
2:11:04
sleeves and clean your
2:11:06
home invite him in and
2:11:09
watch your demons run they don't want
2:11:11
the smoke all the lies of it's
2:11:13
too late you can't go farther that's
2:11:16
a lie and that's the only weapon he
2:11:18
could use. You are
2:11:20
the prodigal son and until that
2:11:22
breath leaves your lungs you have time.
2:11:24
Was the father's love not greater than
2:11:26
the way that his son messed up?
2:11:29
Way bigger. It's
2:11:31
amazing. Absolutely. Got me
2:11:34
so bad. I don't even want to
2:11:36
talk because I'll start crying. I
2:11:39
love Belle so much. I've
2:11:42
come up to Belle sometimes like yo I want to talk about this you go
2:11:44
oh that was really good I go too
2:11:46
thank you man you're like you gassed me
2:11:48
out. You told the story just so beautifully and
2:11:51
it's the perfect way of
2:11:53
showing us like God's grace you know
2:11:55
like a million times. So now that you've
2:11:57
mastered the elements of what you were you
2:12:00
Used to challenge with you
2:12:02
realize that your life isn't over and you're
2:12:04
about to go into more Mm-hmm. So if
2:12:07
you could move forward knowing you're about to
2:12:09
hit a storm you're about to go into
2:12:11
some obstacles What do you need
2:12:13
to remember from your last mistakes? So you
2:12:15
don't remiss take it again? What's
2:12:18
something that you're like? I made this mistakes and I'm not
2:12:20
gonna do it I'll give you an example for me I
2:12:22
doubt God and I think that I need to do things
2:12:25
for God when God says humble yourself under
2:12:27
my mighty hand Yeah, it's me not you.
2:12:29
Absolutely Stick to what I
2:12:31
believe in through work. I've discovered is
2:12:34
just what I was put here to
2:12:36
do. It's like If
2:12:40
I stick with what I believe the gift he gave me
2:12:42
is I will be an instrument and I'll
2:12:44
be able to be used So there's no amount of any
2:12:46
other thing I need to do besides besides Report
2:12:49
for work before God every day and say hey,
2:12:51
I'm gonna go draw my pictures and put them
2:12:53
on the fridge That's all I need to do
2:12:55
That's what I would tell myself moving forward that
2:12:57
when opportunities come and things change and things happen
2:12:59
to you and you're getting more this And then
2:13:01
the brand deals come back and the dududududu because
2:13:03
you're you're using now and you're you're useful and
2:13:05
did it I would just Tell myself
2:13:07
it's like well, you know What got you here and
2:13:09
it's the gift and if the gift is there just
2:13:12
keep watering the gifts and just stay in the basement
2:13:14
Just keep making music. I just I think honestly, I
2:13:16
really be like yo speed yourself Like they're gonna call
2:13:18
you from a visiting angle and they try to do that
2:13:20
now But the thing that I've seen
2:13:22
happen in my life That's extraordinary is
2:13:25
the gift that God gave me because I got gave me so
2:13:27
it's like just remember It's a gift that he gave me it
2:13:29
can go in any moment And if as long as I got
2:13:31
it now I'll just keep doing it and then the other stuff
2:13:33
is They make you believe like we're
2:13:35
not that the nucleus in the music industry doesn't
2:13:37
start with the music maker They do a
2:13:40
great job of making you feel that way man without
2:13:42
us Without us the writers
2:13:44
and the producers the writers and the
2:13:47
producers the writers and the producers and
2:13:49
the artists without us Making the product
2:13:52
they don't have a job. They don't have a job. They
2:13:54
don't have anything There's no coke to sell they might
2:13:56
make the bottle and make it shaped up boot out the
2:13:58
coke. No one's able to drink it We
2:14:00
make the coke so it's like I would just
2:14:02
tell myself keep making the coca-cola I want to
2:14:04
be a coca-cola guy a golden goose guy Whatever
2:14:06
that when you're pulling things out the sky and
2:14:08
you're going all the way into your psyche and
2:14:10
you're searching your soul In creativity
2:14:12
to go take a nugget back to show the
2:14:14
world I dove into my deepest fears and my
2:14:16
love life and my I dove into it and
2:14:18
I went to this unattainable place I wasn't able
2:14:20
to grab all the diamonds, but I came back
2:14:23
from the spirit one with this little nugget How
2:14:25
crazy is this when we're when we're doing that
2:14:27
every single day? They're not going in and doing
2:14:29
that the CEO that wants to give you 50 grand and
2:14:31
make you think that you're rich to do That is it if
2:14:33
you're confident yourself just keep doing the thing that you're supposed
2:14:35
to be doing that's making the product if you're right or
2:14:38
a producer all you're doing is making the product is making
2:14:40
the expression is making the The
2:14:42
thing on the page that we're
2:14:45
presenting to our dads as two-year-olds the thing that we're making
2:14:47
every day If that's what you were meant to do just
2:14:49
keep making that thing and get great at that thing Everything
2:14:51
else will fall into place and fall in love with the
2:14:53
process of doing that thing. There is
2:14:55
no there's no real ending That's another thing too.
2:14:57
There's no like end goal here. It's just like
2:14:59
running the race and then How
2:15:02
much can you enjoy running the race life? You're not gonna
2:15:04
get to a place where life becomes easy You're
2:15:06
gonna get to a place where the hardness of
2:15:09
life you are better prepared for Because
2:15:11
the hardness is coming whether you want to or not You
2:15:13
can isolate yourself and you can lock yourself in a
2:15:15
room and not want bad things to happen to you Then nothing will ever
2:15:17
happen to you So it's like there's
2:15:19
a whole there's a whole angle there of just making
2:15:21
sure I would just say make sure that like you're
2:15:23
just I'm I would tell myself just stick to the
2:15:26
gift just stick to the thing and just head straight
2:15:28
and just do this the thing every day and other
2:15:30
things will happen and also Make
2:15:32
sure you're always watering the seeds of the
2:15:34
things that will come back to you in
2:15:36
tenfold Which is your marriage your relationship with
2:15:38
your sons your children your
2:15:40
relationships with your family your friends the
2:15:42
things that you could really be watering
2:15:45
your community your your health your water
2:15:47
those things because 20 days
2:15:50
of being healthy and then Will better
2:15:52
prepare you for the one day you got to be unhealthy in
2:15:54
the studio and go long hours and whatever So it's just like
2:15:56
live a long hardy healthy life. That's some bullshit.
2:15:58
I'm going out early And I'm gonna
2:16:01
be unhealthy because I might as well enjoy my life It's like
2:16:03
no you'll enjoy your life more if you do the things that
2:16:05
aren't as fun now because you'll reap the benefits of them later
2:16:07
They're just hard to do because they take a super long time
2:16:09
It's not there's no Instagram feed or a little clip that's gonna
2:16:11
give you enough knowledge to do that You gotta just wake up
2:16:13
and do it and just do it wake up Just
2:16:24
have to just get I want to fall and then I'll give I'll
2:16:26
pass the baton right to you Dragon Ball Z Yes The
2:16:30
episode told me this is who he is off
2:16:32
camera I said yo that is the craziest area
2:16:34
because it's yours after the podcast Yeah, and he
2:16:36
only said that just to stabilize it. He goes,
2:16:39
you know, we talked about this Dragon
2:16:45
Ball Z taught me a lot. Thank God I grew up
2:16:47
watching Dragon Ball Z because you are what you consume and
2:16:50
What I loved about Goku and I'm loving that
2:16:52
we're talking about it now in honor of the
2:16:54
man who created it, but The
2:16:57
guy actually got emotional him passing away my
2:16:59
wife told me The
2:17:07
one thing that I learned is Every
2:17:10
enemy that Goku went up against ended up
2:17:12
being his friend Yes, which is my
2:17:15
favorite part of the show because they were misunderstood You
2:17:17
not only finished them off and beat them, but he
2:17:19
showed them by example where you could be Mm-hmm, and
2:17:21
that's why I love the dynamic when I first watched
2:17:23
Vegeta. I was like this guy needs to die And
2:17:26
now I'm like, oh thank God. He's so misunderstood
2:17:28
But they taught you that like the people that
2:17:30
you dislike might be hurt Yeah, you might be
2:17:32
seeing it from your perspective, but you've never seen
2:17:34
it from their perspective That's one it's a great
2:17:37
takeaway and then to when the
2:17:39
next enemy comes Goku
2:17:41
may have never thanked his
2:17:43
previous enemy But that always
2:17:45
brought him to be strong enough for the next
2:17:48
one so that enemy that you have that
2:17:50
you're dancing with that that that that that
2:17:53
Obstacle that that maybe even an illusion maybe it's
2:17:55
just more inner than it is outer But that
2:17:57
thing that you're up against God didn't just throw
2:17:59
you into the water wilderness that says you deal with it
2:18:01
he's like no no no this is what you have to go up
2:18:03
against to go to where you want to
2:18:05
be over here and yeah if I
2:18:07
was to tell it's a great point so if I was
2:18:09
to look back 20 years and just be like yo trust
2:18:11
me like XYZ you know I mean
2:18:13
it's like in that sense it's like
2:18:17
who it everyone it
2:18:19
really is true and I'm sticking with it
2:18:21
everyone has the feeling of the thing that
2:18:23
if the thing if everyone
2:18:26
knew the exact depths of
2:18:29
the things I've thought
2:18:31
in my brain without asking my brain to
2:18:33
think it or the things I've done in
2:18:35
my past or the things that everyone's in
2:18:37
the same boat it's just like how fast
2:18:39
can you realize it's like this just in
2:18:43
this just in I'm like a regular person yep
2:18:45
this is just in this is the
2:18:48
fucking breaking news that everyone's so scared
2:18:50
myself included to the headline
2:18:52
can't be this Justin I'm imperfect the headline can't
2:18:54
be this Justin I've made a mistake the headline
2:18:56
can't be and I think a lot
2:18:58
of great art will come from a from a new
2:19:01
awakening of people being like oh like I mean you're
2:19:03
not gonna scare me into being an opinionless like
2:19:05
thing because because of people might find
2:19:07
out that I'm not perfect
2:19:10
like anybody telling you they
2:19:12
are like but dude would you rather die
2:19:16
say the worst case scenario they kill you
2:19:18
for your opinion right would you not want
2:19:20
to die knowing that you least spoke what
2:19:22
you really felt yeah versus somebody else's what
2:19:24
you didn't you got saying and
2:19:26
then the last thing before I pass it because I'm so
2:19:28
sorry but if you if
2:19:31
you you're investing your soul into it right in
2:19:33
your souls forever if you
2:19:35
invest your life into the music
2:19:37
industry and not God that's gonna die out
2:19:39
when the music industry dies out because it
2:19:42
will come to an end oh yeah but
2:19:44
God is forever the same yesterday today and
2:19:46
tomorrow so I'm banking on the guy that's
2:19:48
forever and always my eyes
2:19:51
are on him oh I start feeling better my
2:19:53
eyes are oh my surroundings better my eyes are
2:19:55
on you everything's coming to life oh I forgot
2:19:57
you're the creator of life So
2:20:00
why am I scared of death if
2:20:03
you're the creator of life? Like
2:20:05
if she just died right now and we
2:20:07
can't bring her back, we'd all cry walled more and we
2:20:10
all freak out. But if she died and then we could
2:20:12
just bring her back to life, no one's gonna miss a
2:20:14
beat. So why do we get scared
2:20:16
that a situation is gonna come to an end if
2:20:18
our creator could bring it right back? My
2:20:21
mom said, if God says action,
2:20:23
who has the authority to say cut? No
2:20:27
one's above God. No one's bigger. And
2:20:30
if you wanted to, no one's under. He's
2:20:32
alpha and the omega. That's why people are like, why are
2:20:34
you so invested in God? It's like, bro, it's a freedom.
2:20:37
It's not on me anymore. You're holding
2:20:39
the world on your shoulders. That's
2:20:42
heavy, bro. No, thank you.
2:20:44
I'd rather be the kid enjoying the ride. Yeah,
2:20:46
this is lit. Instead of the kid being like,
2:20:48
we're gonna die. I'm like, relax, breathe, put your
2:20:50
hands up. Put
2:20:53
your hands in the, okay, go ahead. But actually,
2:20:55
you know, it's beautiful, but we said of Goku
2:20:57
and how he takes his enemies and
2:21:00
he turns, this is all I want to say, but I got it on Dragon
2:21:02
Ball G by the way. I love it. Yeah, he really got
2:21:04
me on it. I never watched anime and then the self. But
2:21:07
how Goku takes his enemies and makes them
2:21:09
his friends. And what's cool about that is
2:21:11
that the logo, you know, the symbol that
2:21:14
Goku wears on his gi and stuff like that
2:21:16
means wisdom. Really? Yeah,
2:21:19
and I think Goku has the most wisdom. I
2:21:21
love it. Was that what you were about to bring up? No,
2:21:23
no, no, it was a thought because of what you said.
2:21:25
Oh, okay, what were you gonna say? So what I was
2:21:27
gonna say was that I want to know about
2:21:30
the performance aspect of things, right? Cause you have this
2:21:32
new incredible music that you're gonna have. You're gonna be
2:21:34
able to perform for your audience. What
2:21:37
does that look like for you? Do
2:21:39
you get excited about the performance, about
2:21:41
staying on stage? I get
2:21:43
excited about it if I
2:21:46
can be more excited about it now that I'm out of my
2:21:48
Live Nation contract. Yeah. Cause it's like, maybe
2:21:51
I'll just do one show. Maybe
2:21:53
I'll just do three shows. Maybe I'll
2:21:55
just not do any shows at all. It's
2:21:57
different when you own the music and you're-
2:22:00
The fractal obligations are just like in your favor.
2:22:02
If I'm not find anybody I might be able
2:22:04
to approach a live nation ablow. I'm forty percent
2:22:06
of the penis forking of all but we don't
2:22:08
do that or another do a show it apart
2:22:11
and are twenty bucks for that and but also
2:22:13
on myself are all figured out how it goes
2:22:15
with to did. I. Love performing.
2:22:17
It was the whole other stuff that really gave
2:22:19
me anxiety which which meant that like performing in
2:22:21
general like think i hope that people anybody ever
2:22:24
came to a show of mine gave it everything
2:22:26
I had a blast with with with the fans
2:22:28
and whatever have less with of but I'm. It's
2:22:31
it's just the process of waking up in the traveling
2:22:34
in the feeling like crap in the the whole thing
2:22:36
is is my one is hard for one man oh
2:22:38
is hard for me so hard for me So. Or.
2:22:41
Whatever it looks like, I wanna do it in
2:22:43
a way that like only gets me excited and
2:22:45
only makes me happy and only is like healthy
2:22:47
for me to do to be like I'm just
2:22:49
enjoying the sign two percent I'm not particularly working
2:22:52
as well. You gotta work in the as like
2:22:54
well no I've already worked and now I know
2:22:56
I get to do this and and do. I
2:22:59
gets almost like. If
2:23:04
I'm extort that if if I happen to be
2:23:06
extraordinarily talented, it's almost like a thing where I
2:23:08
can pimp my gifts to make my life work
2:23:10
around. How town did I am now I don't
2:23:13
have that is if I know what you're just
2:23:15
sitting there. Me: If I if I can tempt
2:23:17
my guess to be like. Ah,
2:23:23
Have the right five thousands off. On
2:23:26
their town that I can make like twenty songs here
2:23:29
and obsess over them and make them good and chances
2:23:31
are one of those twenty will be great. So therefore
2:23:33
I don't have to make two thousand songs and work
2:23:35
myself into the ground on. had the relationships I want
2:23:37
and whatever. Like, I'm talented enough for my guests, my
2:23:39
abilities in whatever to be in it's proper balance and
2:23:42
God Damien Extraordinary gets enough to be like I'll have
2:23:44
to be manic. I'll have to go Korea, have a
2:23:46
poor and make sure I'm hit in the at the
2:23:48
audience. isn't that it as as like oh no he
2:23:50
won't come to so com to show Whoop us to
2:23:52
Jones Beach again and see themselves and thousand people. Editors
2:23:55
of that's what I mean like Now it's kind of like
2:23:57
aside from all the other stuff out as though the penis,
2:23:59
all the things that were. You know, kind of
2:24:01
weighing heavy on you know, new gets a.
2:24:04
Enjoy! You enjoy the process and I you get
2:24:06
to perform the music with a whole heart like
2:24:08
out is an accent you get that illegals. Your
2:24:10
showing where? Yeah. Great reason I I can't
2:24:12
live stuff up with you like that. We.
2:24:15
Bought horoscope record of we view ourselves and
2:24:17
like. Coldplay, You like Also
2:24:19
I I can't lie and that say I
2:24:21
haven't had visions of like this are going
2:24:23
off in like a giant giant Giant Places
2:24:25
like this. Big. Old arenas and big
2:24:27
old stadiums and think the best that is exciting The
2:24:29
idea of like. Creating
2:24:32
something with a purpose and you say oh this is
2:24:34
like a stadium song and the ideal and the possibility
2:24:36
of this could end up being in a stadium is
2:24:38
a very fun idea that that as exciting. I'm like
2:24:40
man like him because he when you listen to music
2:24:42
it's like oh crap I can him we've I made
2:24:44
that like oh my gosh this performance of this would
2:24:46
be really cool so there are ideas and things that
2:24:48
excite me for her. Death and Vertical. I think
2:24:50
through that like whether it be a stadium or
2:24:52
whether the or room of this size is actually
2:24:54
gets away the you're going to seal on stage.
2:24:56
be able to bring that funny. Funny enough, the
2:24:58
only performance I've ever done in the last probably six
2:25:01
years. Right when I paid myself out of my
2:25:03
Live Nation contract we did his cancer a virtual console
2:25:05
during Cobras and I'm everyone was charging like three
2:25:07
dollars could Live Nation was getting a piece of these
2:25:09
artists as with Winfrey both since that as a short
2:25:11
one hundred bucks for the tickets to do the
2:25:13
concert because I was like I'm going to give it
2:25:16
everything within like. He was real time
2:25:18
a minute and we create in real time of
2:25:20
free. Saw some stuff you the best musicians New
2:25:22
York City left. There's gonna be a tailor made
2:25:24
experience and I believe my worth. So Live Nation
2:25:26
didn't tell me how much the tickets can be.
2:25:28
I told myself how much I believe my tickets
2:25:30
are worth and ended up making more off of
2:25:32
one virtual show that was an hour long than
2:25:34
I ever did in all my towards combined I
2:25:36
paid my band moore's off of one's self swoop
2:25:39
than any of the we said they worked combined
2:25:41
which is a nuts are not concept the yeah
2:25:43
you're right. Like when I am operating on a
2:25:45
level where I feel like I can set the.
2:25:47
Price point I can value myself and
2:25:49
I'm in a contractual position to do
2:25:51
that, than I have a new freedom
2:25:53
to feel like my ideas will be.
2:25:56
use an explosion in the integrate way was
2:25:58
totally gets me lit about doing Will
2:26:00
I do 40 shows in 40 different cities and
2:26:02
I can almost guarantee you know, but it's not
2:26:05
Bringing my sons on tour and like dragging
2:26:08
my wife through to some families are designed for it and they love
2:26:10
it And they love that lifestyle. It's just not for me I don't
2:26:12

2:26:14
495 driving a Kentucky I'm
2:26:17
like just like miss me with all of that
2:26:19
