my girlfriend and just taking the

0:57

time to you know weekend to

0:59

myself and just. Grow

1:01

from the past and like accepting

1:03

1:05

Only that, but. Just like

1:07

1:22

that. And. Have a real

1:24

relationships in my life and

real friendships and. Ah,

1:29

I'm saying close my family I I

1:31

got a new puppy in a valley

1:33

change my life hobbies do and meaning

1:35

yeah I hadn't had one dog in

1:37

the seem like he was on a

1:39

little lonely and like always wanted to

1:41

play and like now have a second

1:43

dog and so like. Up

1:46

seven. The morning everyday just what are

1:48

we doing? The dogs cry and I'll say

1:50

I'll take her out and then like start

1:52

system of like all these things that you

1:54

need to do to take care to dogs

1:56

instead of one. To

1:58

lot harder And if you the guy

2:00

have children I you do the I

2:02

really do. They count on you and

2:04

so would you say that the past

2:06

relationships that exists in your life were.

2:09

On. Lc only back. What What? Wow would

2:11

you categorize I'm not I'm in all

2:14

releases of i had my life have

2:16

been would they were but I think

2:18

like with this relationship I am and

2:20

now I think I'm just a stronger

2:22

person. I feel like we take our

2:24

lives together Me we lived together and

2:26

making that decision was also really great

2:28

decision for him because I need to

2:30

some I need someone to my life

2:32

I can combat life with and in

2:34

own be there for each other, our

2:37

times and. I

2:39

think part of it's maturing butts. Yeah

2:43

I'd a lot of like. Metronome

2:46

to slake feelings. I can accept myself

2:48

for a long time and I feel

2:50

very comfortable with. Ah, telling my girlfriend

2:52

how I feel and we dislike Sir

2:54

So much more lives together so there's

2:56

like no bullshit li all the bullshit

2:58

caught because you don't get a spend

3:00

of the second to yourself in I

3:02

mean when you live with someone you

3:04

feel everything in a real way and

3:06

you have to talk through it And

3:08

so I think it took for me

3:10

to like take that step both moving.

3:12

Oh and my girlfriend for me to

3:14

seal those things and like really. Ah,

3:17

I'm you know? Cause. they give

3:19

you are. Like. Say you're doing some of

3:21

where you are living with on the know when

3:23

you spend time without them that's when you're sort

3:25

of thing to self about like all the issues

3:27

going on with your life whereas lucky you're in

3:29

it you're in it at all times when you

3:31

live at the person and you can talk to

3:33

them about it because view of nowhere else to

3:35

run. If anything I'm going us I know I.

3:38

Call. My mom and I'll be upset about something but then I

3:40

go back inside and then. I'm. Like

3:43

fuck side. Seal. That

3:45

I really feel this way. And Mike's ah I'm

3:47

does really talking through things with her has helped

3:49

me become a better person. You know and really

3:51

can't run from your feelings when you live with

3:53

someone? No, not at all. And so you you

3:55

really think about them a lot more To this.

3:58

i'm just like an introvert and in

4:00

a way that I keep everything bottled

4:02

up and like held down But

4:05

now I feel like she just text me right now She

4:09

sent me a picture of our dogs But

4:14

yeah, man, it's just a

4:16

really real relationship and I

4:18

don't know it's so authentic and just

4:22

Perfect, you know How do you

4:24

meet we met on Halloween night

4:26

and how I how I knew

4:29

that it was perfect Was because I was

4:32

wearing a Beetlejuice costume and she still looked

4:34

me in my eyes and said I remember

4:36

when we met for 15 minutes

4:39

like a few months ago and Like

4:43

I've known I've known it was you I knew there

4:45

was a spark there But I wanted

4:47

to like see you again and like we really

4:50

Just chopped it up and and like how to

4:52

spark on Halloween and now it's like in in

4:55

the moment in that conversation with her And then

4:57

I took a step back and I realized I

4:59

was wearing a fucking Beetlejuice costume And I had

5:01

green hair and moss on my face and stuff

5:03

like that I'm like and we're connecting right now

5:05

and she knows what I look like underneath all

5:08

of this and I'm just it made

5:10

me like feel like it was so surreal because

5:12

I just realized how stupid I

5:15

looked and like How how real

5:17

she kept it with me just made me know that

5:19

there was a real connection there So you had met

5:21

before Halloween night, but then you remit on Halloween. Yeah,

5:23

so we Met for

5:25

a few minutes when I had a 4th of July

5:27

party and I

5:30

was just being a dork. I was just showing

5:32

her like my snakes in my room and just

5:34

stuff like that because I like

5:38

a big one-story house and I like

5:40

I don't know I always run away when I

5:42

had parties and I would just go to my room and

5:44

like hang

5:47

out with my dog and stuff like that and like have

5:49

like a few of my friends in the room and my

5:53

best friend's ex-girlfriend is my

5:56

girlfriend's best friend and She

5:59

introduced And she's the one that

6:01

like really saw that there was a spark between us

6:04

and Yeah,

6:07

I owe her a lot for you

6:10

know introducing us Wild

6:13

right? Yeah Yeah,

6:15

would you say this is the first time you've been in love

6:18

this is like I think this

6:20

is the first time I've been in love like for

6:22

real like been fully a hundred percent and then no

6:24

questions asked What makes this

6:26

relationship different than other relationships? I

6:30

think just the authenticity of how Well

6:34

and organic that it worked out. I think we

6:36

both gave each other that space. We didn't rush

6:38

into anything We both knew that there was something

6:40

there and we wanted to make sure that we

6:43

were Safeguarding our

6:45

heart as we were getting to know each other

6:48

We spent like six months just getting to

6:50

know each other and just hanging out and

6:52

like doing little things together and

6:55

I think by building a relationship from

6:57

the ground up before you like Ask

7:00

somebody like will you be my girlfriend was something

7:02

that was really healthy for us and I

7:05

think taking that time is what made all the difference

7:07

in the world How soon did you

7:10

guys move in with we moved

7:12

in after about six months of

7:14

dating? That's good. It's pretty fast

7:16

though Yeah, I mean you were

7:18

one day. I knew my boyfriend Like

7:21

you move with your boyfriend in one

7:23

day. No, maybe six six days. Yeah,

7:25

see, you know Yeah,

7:30

so it took us a while but tonight I

7:33

lived with a few of my roommates and then the

7:35

next house I lived with one of my roommates and

7:39

I hated the house and I

7:42

wanted to move into a new place and We

7:46

were already just so in it together we

7:48

were spending like at least six days of the week

7:50

She's like, you know, I'd have to go like home

7:52

and see my family sometimes right? I'm like, oh,

7:55

yeah Like you can go do

7:57

that like you whenever you want like, okay, and

7:59

then it ended up being a thing where I would go

8:01

and see her family with her and I

8:03

became friends with her

8:05

dog and her sister lives next door with

8:07

three kids and then the

8:10

kids just really love me and look up to

8:12

me and so she got to see how I

8:14

was with other kids and then they

8:17

became like huge fans of my music which is

8:19

like all I could ask for and more like

8:21

they're more hyped about

8:23

my release than like anyone.

8:26

It's actually so like

8:28

cute to me because having that relationship

8:30

with her niece and nephew is just

8:32

everything and more to me. Really

8:35

special. Right? It's giving family.

8:37

It is. No, she grew

8:39

up in Manhattan Beach. It's just a really nice

8:41

sweet family and they do

8:43

everything together and like if there's something

8:45

going on that they think that

8:47

Kiara can like make it out there for.

8:50

Love makes its way into this music though,

8:52

right? Like always. I mean obviously outside of

8:54

the fact that it's called Love Bites but

8:56

like it really it's woven

8:58

throughout the thing. Right. It's a completely

9:00

woven throughout the whole EP. It's supposed

9:03

to be what love

9:05

is just told into four different

9:07

like chapters of a relationship and

9:10

giving you just some different insight and

9:12

some different wordplay

9:14

and some different you know sounds

9:18

from me. I wanted to try new things

9:20

and yeah.

9:22

It took my time and I feel like I really

9:24

accomplished that. What does it mean to

9:26

take time? Like how long did these four songs take? These

9:29

four songs took about seven

9:31

months. I finished them last year but

9:34

doing the preparation work for putting out

9:36

the EP took a really long time

9:38

and yeah.

9:41

We felt like coming back in the beginning of

9:43

the year is a really strong way to like

9:46

put your foot down and so

9:49

we were trying to kind of put it all

9:51

together before the end of last year but then

9:53

that didn't make sense so we kind of held

9:55

on to it for a little bit longer and

9:57

we're like yeah let's start in. February

10:00

and then kind of make our way and

10:02

put it out in April and we

10:05

ended up putting out the EP on my

10:07

birthday. So it's going to be dropping in

10:09

a week from today. Pretty

10:11

cool. Pretty cool. How

10:13

many songs did you cut before you get to four or did you

10:15

just record four? I've recorded

10:17

so much music in the last couple of years. This

10:20

is honestly and I love

10:22

love bites. This is a warm up. This

10:24

is just me like getting the oven started and

10:27

just showing people that there's

10:30

a lot more to me than people

10:32

realize that I don't

10:35

like to stay in one place with music

10:37

or in life like I want to make

10:40

as much music as possible. Try as many

10:42

new things as possible and

10:44

just show people that there is different variations

11:22

Do you ever wonder what the public thinks of you or like

11:24

what their perception is of you? Yeah

11:27

I do all the time because I have no

11:29

fucking clue. Like I can't tell if they love

11:31

me, if they hate me, if they're like this

11:33

guy's a little weird, this guy dresses weird. I

11:35

have no clue and I

11:37

never will. Like the only thing

11:40

I really get is like an

11:42

honest in-person reaction because either they

11:45

laugh or they like are really genuinely

11:47

freaked out. Like they're like holy shit,

11:50

like you're a real person. And

11:53

it blows my mind. I'm just like

11:55

interested in terms of like You

11:57

do fashion, you make rock music. The

12:00

there is no real public perception of you because

12:02

you can is seeping in as you go, right?

12:04

Idea. The I know more based

12:06

on your aesthetic in the very. Mainly

12:09

because you give people glimpses of your

12:11

life and people know they don't fully

12:14

know you know and arab population only

12:16

is getting this li more acidic idea

12:18

of you is earning yeah and I

12:20

like to be pretty polished and I'm

12:23

also my biggest gatekeeper in a way

12:25

that people should know all about me

12:27

but I'm also scared because of the

12:30

said that I have gone through like

12:32

I spent years going in and I

12:34

tried to make people understand my personality

12:36

and then I coming out. Same for.

12:39

An in our people those friends are

12:41

weird or this is I and then

12:43

I mean I look back now and

12:45

keep mine. I agree like this

12:47

sit in that I'm like holy fuck I

12:49

pay believe I posted that like that sobbed

12:52

anything from Slut anything before Twenty Twenty One

12:54

like any their posts on Sex or I'll

12:56

Kill I can even look at and people

12:58

just repost it for fun and I'm like

13:01

oh my god and when I see across

13:03

I for a pigeon my comment cause actively

13:05

people saw this year but without that you

13:07

probably wouldn't be where you are exactly know

13:10

I know like I'll. Say

13:12

I had to do it in L A had to

13:14

read answered to make it to where I am today

13:16

and I I. You know you have

13:18

to look at it with low that a grace

13:20

and feeling I you know you do what she

13:22

did said that was also what it was at

13:24

the time and I just kind of evolved with

13:27

the app them with myself and. Like.

13:29

Try to keep it a bug but at

13:31

the same time people just don't know me

13:34

on a deeper level and I'm I'm not

13:36

sure if us me protecting myself too much

13:38

earth that's own. To.

13:41

See me not wanting to share

13:43

my personality as much that everyone

13:45

anymore. You know I'd like to

13:48

give people doses and I'm

13:50

in our just make sure that

13:52

I like to ski Must heart

13:55

safe and ah. See.

13:57

Like she put too much of yourself out.

14:00

Like People has ridiculed me for

14:02

my personality and and like or

14:05

up. So. It's made me like.

14:07

More scared to do like talking

14:09

videos or like going on lives

14:11

stuff like that. The.

14:14

Yeah, I like to keep a short sweet. For.

14:16

Maybe there's something you that specially when

14:18

you're releasing isa he can speak to

14:21

your. he's exactly. I think music's the

14:23

best way that. I. Can express

14:25

myself and I really leave it

14:27

on the table. When it comes

14:29

to music ends, you can really

14:32

tell my personality through it. And.

14:34

It's. In. Our ah. Yeah.

14:38

I think more people after like see

14:40

interviews like this to really understand me

14:42

more because there's so much more to

14:44

me than just the music and. I'm.

14:49

Not have said too much. So like

14:51

I I really tried a given my

14:53

all in that place and that place

14:56

alone. Would it's also

14:58

pleased that you kind of anybody or is

15:00

it fair to see the your plane was

15:02

always music or. Did he

15:04

really kind of fall into a by chance. I

15:08

would say there's a little bit of both because. When.

15:11

I lived in Stockton. Music

15:13

wasn't even are a question

15:15

because. I. Never knew at

15:17

a major, never knew how to have

15:20

access to people our producers are writers

15:22

or anything to do with music in

15:24

general. And. As

15:27

a sound my way into Allah I'd I knew

15:29

that I wanted to make music I just didn't

15:31

know how and I always thought it was just

15:33

like this foreign thing that. Like. You

15:36

just couldn't get your hands on. I always

15:38

thought of something that's been. Like.

15:42

I. don't even ah to put it because

15:44

there was just not many black people in

15:46

northern california that made music and it really

15:48

not have access to it and so when

15:50

i got sell a i wanted to figure

15:52

it out and i wanted to find a

15:55

way to make music because i knew i

15:57

had is a me i just never knew

15:59

how to go through

16:01

with the process. And when I started to

16:04

figure out how I can have access

16:06

to these people, I just

16:09

went full force. And as soon as I

16:11

did my first studio session, it was from

16:13

one to like 30 sessions

16:17

all within like two months. And yeah,

16:20

I just hit the

16:22

ground running as soon as I figured out

16:24

how to make music, honestly. But it means

16:26

something different today than before, right? Yeah,

16:30

no, there's there's so much more evolution in

16:32

the music. Just

16:34

over time, I feel like I'm growing into it

16:36

and I'm maturing and I'm saying a lot more

16:38

real things and I'm going

16:40

out more real topics. And

16:44

not that my first album wasn't real, because

16:46

it was very real to me, but I think it's

16:49

getting more and more real. And I'm

16:52

seeing what I can do, how I can stretch my

16:54

vocals, how I can, I'm trying to

16:56

figure out a scream, I'm trying to figure out how

16:59

to hit the falsetto that I was afraid to do

17:01

in the first album. I'm trying

17:03

to do it all now. Real rock. Real rock.

17:06

Confidence and comfort breeds all this, no? Yeah,

17:09

no. And honestly, you can already

17:12

start to tell that it's getting more

17:15

and more confident as we go. And

17:18

yeah, there's just something that just

17:21

comes out of me when I work and when

17:23

I sing in the studio, because I'll be like,

17:25

kind of mumbling it as I'm like in the

17:27

room, writing it. And like, they're like,

17:29

okay, cool, we don't know how this is gonna sound. Because

17:32

I'm just like afraid of seeing in front of people. But

17:34

when I'm in front of a mic and I get the

17:36

chance to really listen to myself in the headphones, I just

17:38

lock it and I become a different person. Are

17:41

you like recording? And like, are you looking at

17:43

anything? Is it black? What do you like what's

17:45

around? I know, like people like

17:47

will record in like total black, like dark

17:49

rooms. Oh, yes, I record in total darkness.

17:51

I don't like them being light because I

17:54

think it's too distracting. Yeah. And I just like

17:56

I go in there, I bring a water and

18:00

I bring my phone. I

18:02

like it dark though. Like when it's too bright,

18:05

you know, I like to close my eyes too.

18:09

Just being able to just tap in with yourself and the

18:11

only thing that you can think about is what you are

18:13

doing. I think that's the best way

18:15

to get it done because it's

18:20

hard to not think about those things when

18:22

you're in the moment making music.

18:24

You have to really put some

18:26

focus into it. Otherwise you're not going to get the product

18:29

that you want. So yeah, it's

18:32

true. I do make music in the dark.

18:34

Funny that you said that. It's really common

18:36

and it like cuts that sense. Really? It's

18:39

the whole thing, yeah. Cool. I

18:41

fuck with that. See, I'm right there with you

18:43

guys. It's working. It's working. It is. I

18:46

know you're probably interested in this but are you, you are trying to

18:48

master scream singing? Yeah. So

18:50

I'm trying to figure out how to

18:52

scream a little bit more and

18:54

more. The thing is, it's so

18:56

tough to do live that I'm

18:58

making sure there's special moments for

19:00

it and everything. I've

19:03

been making more friends with the

19:06

heavier punk artists just to try

19:08

to learn from them as well.

19:11

I'm really close to this band

19:13

called Palais Royale. They're

19:17

really good. They just made a

19:19

song about like six

19:21

months ago and it's the coolest

19:24

song I've fucking made. It's

19:26

just like straight, heavy, mysterious.

19:29

The lyrics are fucking all over

19:31

the place and like in that studio

19:33

session they taught me how to scream.

19:35

Ever since then I'm just like, I

19:38

love it. Like I want to try this. I want to try

19:40

this on everything. So I've been trying

19:42

a little bit more. Not that it's like so

19:45

crazy. But it is fun,

19:47

I will say. You just got to send it.

19:49

I remember Jaden told me when we were doing

19:52

Downfalls High, he's just like, you just got to

19:54

scream. Just go in there and scream a couple

19:56

of times. See what happens. And I was

19:58

like, period. But there is an artist

20:00

screaming. Singing though there's a difference between

20:03

screaming and then like Corey Taylor screams

20:05

right from Slipknot Screams

20:07

like Oliver Sykes is like a real

20:09

screamer from bring me the horizon like

20:11

that takes talent. That's fucking talent Yeah,

20:14

no, I know that he's brilliant. I

20:16

love maybe the horizon. Yeah Yeah,

20:19

man I just want to work with more and more

20:21

rock artists because I think like taking

20:23

those little bits of learning stuff from them Really

20:27

goes a long way. Also. I can't

20:29

say who but I just worked with my

20:31

favorite artist and That

20:34

man screams like nothing. I've ever heard before

20:42

Can you guess who I'm trying to think you're trying to

20:44

think I Know

20:46

you use a clue Can

20:48

I give you a clue? Shit

20:53

I can't give you a clue that giving it away Um

20:58

He was really big In

21:01

the 2010s and he's even bigger now Man

21:07

any screams like crazy For

21:12

me he's he's the pop-punk Hero

21:15

like he is the fucking goat.

21:17

I feel like when people are bailing out

21:19

of pop-punk you're sticking with it. Hey Yeah,

21:22

I'm trying to like figure out more How

21:26

much more alternative I can make it because I

21:28

really want to make Like

21:31

rock music you just stay consistent with

21:33

it because everybody's bailed on it Look

21:35

at everybody who thought they were pop-punk rock stars and

21:38

now where the fuck are they? Making

21:41

pop records or rap records

21:43

or really? Yeah. Yeah.

21:45

I think there's such a heart to Punk

21:48

music and the stuff that you can say in it And

21:51

like just the extensions that you can go

21:53

because I I'm trying some new stuff in

21:55

punk, but I've been really trying to Make

21:59

more rock music because I love

22:01

the heavy shit. I love how

22:03

slow and heavy it is at the same time and There's

22:08

like that there's just so much more you can

22:10

do with a guitar and some drums without

22:13

it. It's so much more tough. I've

22:15

made Maybe two or

22:17

three pop songs Hate

22:20

doing it Hate doing

22:22

it But some of the songs

22:24

on this EP do lean a little

22:26

pop with a do that song structure

22:28

could be pop But the Sonics could

22:30

be punk rock rock. Yeah for

22:32

sure There I

22:34

think there's a pocket in pop music

22:37

that I love to make which is kind of like

22:39

Electronic dance rock pop and

22:42

that's what love bites is. Yeah that reminded me of

22:44

like Cobra Starship I couldn't even

22:47

I tried so hard to think of something that

22:49

it reminded me of and I was like fuck

22:51

It reminds me of nothing and that's why I

22:53

love it because it stands out in such a

22:55

like unique way that I've never

22:57

written any song before and I'm trying to

22:59

make more music like it, but

23:01

it's such a Crazy pocket of

23:04

different things together. It's since it's like

23:06

there's a little bit of EDM in

23:08

there There's a little bit of rock

23:10

in the and the straight beats taken

23:12

from old disco music There's

23:15

a little bit of like the newer kind

23:17

of how they make disco pop nowadays in

23:20

there as well, and then there's the lyrical

23:22

twists on how I kind of Turn

23:25

every song is just I like to add

23:27

a little bit of like my own like

23:29

swagger and edge to it Yeah, we talked

23:31

about hickies or like love bites like it's

23:33

felt it's kind of a it's

23:36

kind of a thing where it's a like

23:38

almost a double entendre or a triple entendre

23:40

where love bites in the way

23:42

that Love

23:45

should be sweet, but also intense, you

23:47

know and It's

23:52

also in a sense where it's a hickey and it's

23:54

also in a sense where Love

23:57

can bite you in the ass if you let it

24:00

And, you know, I

24:02

think the intensity of just

24:06

like the title itself really

24:09

like brought me into it. I was like, love

24:12

can bite, you know, love can really bite you.

24:15

But it can be in a good way too, you know,

24:18

if someone leaves a hickey on you, you'll

24:20

remember that. And if

24:22

someone leaves a mark on you, you'll

24:24

remember that. And if someone's loving

24:27

you with their full intensity and really

24:29

giving you their all and leaving nothing

24:32

out like nothing else, I

24:34

think that's something that really stands out in a relationship.

24:36

You gotta give it your all. You gotta pour

24:39

your love into somebody. And it

24:41

can bite you in the ass, you know, there'll be tough

24:44

days, but you're gonna have even better days. And

24:47

on love, buddy, you said you can make her do what

24:49

twice? Make

24:51

her come twice. Like make her

24:54

come over to my house once or twice. Yeah.

24:56

Okay. Got it. What's

24:58

it like writing lyrics like that? Because I feel

25:01

like when your first album came out, you would

25:03

never put that in a lyric. Oh, no, no,

25:05

I wouldn't. I did a backflip when I wrote

25:07

that lyric. An actual backflip?

25:09

No, but like in my head,

25:11

I was doing backflips. I was like, holy

25:13

shit, I just wrote the craziest lyric that

25:15

I could have possibly made. And

25:19

after I made that song, I remember

25:21

my team telling me, I really

25:23

love the song, but I think you should change this

25:26

lyric. And I said, that's it. That's

25:28

the lyric right there. This is what's gonna take

25:30

people by surprise. Because they asked you to change it? That's how you knew.

25:32

Yeah, that's how I knew it was the one. Makes sense. That's rock and

25:34

roll. That is rock and

25:36

roll. You've gotta be able to say

25:38

one or two crazy things every once in a while.

25:41

Otherwise, you're keeping a PG. It's true.

25:43

You know, that's about maturing. You know, you

25:45

keep it a fuck with these people. And

25:49

people respect you for it. Am

25:52

I wrong? I mean, no. No,

25:54

I mean, I was in the song and that's the line that

25:57

stuck out to me. There you go. So, thank

25:59

God you kept it in. Yeah,

26:02

yeah, I

26:04

wanted to give people a little bit

26:06

of that vulgar honest edge because who

26:09

am I to leave things

26:11

out of a song that actually

26:13

happened? Hell

26:15

yeah. Oh

26:20

man, I have

26:22

so many things to say. I'm sweating. By

26:26

the way, you listen to the EP Love Bites. It's on Amazon Music.

26:29

We're going to put a link below for you. It's

26:31

nice to hang out with a fellow Taurus. You

26:33

give Taurus energy, eh? Yeah,

26:36

I am as Taurus as they come and

26:38

I'm also at Cancer Rising. Oh really? Yeah,

26:40

so there's that emotional side to me that's

26:43

unavoidable and then there's the Taurus

26:45

energy in me that's very

26:48

stubborn and likes to make sure

26:51

I'm getting things done

26:53

and that I'm competitive. All of the competitive

26:56

nature that's in me and the drive

26:58

comes from being a Taurus. It's crazy

27:00

you're only 21. I

27:02

know. That's so weird. That's

27:04

not weird. You're 22 next week,

27:06

okay? I'm getting older guys.

27:09

But turning 21 was a big

27:11

turning page for me because I always

27:15

wanted to be 21 and I never

27:17

had the balls to get a fake

27:19

ID. So I would go to clubs

27:21

and I would just be like, yeah, I'm 19 and it

27:23

worked every time. What?

27:29

Every time. It never got turned on. Only

27:31

once when I was at my sister's college

27:34

and I used my brother-in-law's ID. They're

27:37

like, um, I'm like, you know what? You're right.

27:39

I'm going to go. I'm

27:41

just going to walk away. I'm not

27:43

going to fight this battle. How old

27:45

is your girlfriend? My girlfriend is 25.

27:49

Yeah. She's a baller. She's

27:52

just got her head in her

27:54

shoulders. She knows what she wants. She's lived

27:56

life and she's a real

27:59

honest. trooper at the end

28:01

of the day like she knows

28:04

what she wants she keeps it real with me

28:06

and Like

28:09

because of that I owe her so much because

28:11

she teaches me a lot and she inspires me

28:13

and she's just Beautiful

28:16

and every day like we'll be going to the gym

28:18

28:20

28:22

28:44

everyone and and so for that I love

28:46

her so much, you know And and when

28:48

something happens, she'll be able to like have

28:50

foresight over everything. It's like someone Wrong

28:56

did that thing Like

28:58

I noticed this person did that thing When

29:01

we went out last night, I thought that was really

29:03

weird like and then like two weeks later

29:07

You just find out that person's with a terrible

29:09

person online. You're like what? How

29:11

do you call these things? She's just really

29:13

Yeah, it's good. It's good. I mean,

29:34

I'm in love very similar I do very much understand

29:36

what you're saying I do understand like when you're talking

29:38

about living with somebody and how you have

29:40

to kind of merge lives and it's all woven Yeah, and yeah,

29:43

it's really interesting. No, it really is

29:45

you guys do anything fun You

29:48

29:51

Hell yeah, I'm the powers together. Whoo.

29:53

You know London. There you

29:56

go, you know, we went to Australia Oh,

29:58

that's that's how you do it. Then you're somehow

30:01

media saying say go out of

30:03

he has been together We've been

30:05

together for a year and three

30:08

months every six there so a

30:10

real travel a lot together to

30:12

eggs were just two peas in

30:15

a partner rookie you year and

30:17

see each. Other

30:20

down, there are three months,

30:22

Nine months. And the

30:24

time and year. Yet. No. It's not

30:26

just feel the he usually dog metals are

30:29

there. So isn't ten years Mugshot The first

30:31

record. Why does it start with Mugshot for

30:33

uses the Berkeley? She's realizing she's in love

30:35

with this person. A Mugshot The and saved

30:37

A it's kind of starts and. Stops.

30:40

Or to have a relationship. Where'd she says

30:42

to realize as his fall in love with

30:45

this bad boy who's on the ads are?

30:47

I think Love Bites is like the. Introduction.

30:50

Of what the relationship isn't starts

30:52

and night one and then I

30:54

guess Mozart is really chapter two.

30:56

We wanted to come with at

30:58

first because one, that's what people

31:01

know. For me, it's. Odd

31:03

pop punk but it's also got loaded

31:05

of rock flair to switch syllabus something

31:07

new. the solos really cool just like

31:09

all around catchy song but it it

31:12

it on. A really captured

31:14

the the idea that's arm of like

31:16

where the music was heading and the

31:18

direction as going and I would say

31:21

my arms a little bit more. About.

31:25

A dozen my album I didn't say

31:27

that people from my when I'm Coming

31:29

now I die I like months on

31:32

and so I would say like than

31:34

the direction that my new music is

31:36

going and is more my saw him

31:38

yeah I didn't say that dollars to

31:40

me as. Still

31:42

his name, but listen to music is

31:44

waiting for you. Amazon Easy. When.

31:46

You think? The.

31:48

Ever miss a thing about.tick tock

31:50

Hype House stays. No.

31:54

no none are really at

31:56

all i honestly think i

31:58

treasure my piece more And

32:00

I think there was probably something

32:04

intense going on just about every day that Hype

32:06

House was a thing. And

32:11

I had really strong friendships with everybody.

32:13

It just seemed like we were all competing

32:16

with each other in a sense. And

32:20

when I wanted to

32:22

make music, when I wanted to really step

32:25

into that space and I needed them to

32:27

be like my friends and supporting me the

32:29

most, when I moved out of the Hype

32:31

House, I didn't have them

32:33

there for me. And that

32:36

really upset me. It stuck with

32:38

me. They made it the whole joke of

32:40

the reality show is how I am

32:42

like leaving the Hype House and becoming a

32:45

musician and how it's this bad thing. And

32:48

I don't know, it left a sour taste

32:50

in my mouth that they were not in

32:52

support of me switching my career paths, but

32:54

were in support of everyone else doing their

32:56

own thing now. But when it

32:59

was me, they just didn't

33:01

appreciate it. And yeah,

33:03

now you can kind of tell that all the people

33:05

that I had real friendships

33:07

there with have just, it's

33:10

just grown apart because of

33:13

me making that decision for myself. But

33:15

are any of them any relevance or

33:17

doing anything? I have no idea. It

33:19

looks like a giant scam. I

33:22

know. Did you make

33:24

any money? Zero. Yeah, like

33:26

it just looked like an older guy taking

33:28

blatant advantage of a bunch of younger

33:31

people who had looks in talent

33:33

that he didn't have. And

33:35

like, it was weird. The

33:37

whole thing's fucking weird. And the guy

33:39

shows up on my feed from time to time

33:41

going, I'm selling my house. Fuck you,

33:43

man. It's the same guy, right? Yeah.

33:46

And by the way, I think I've been in the same room as

33:48

that person, I think, but I, someone

33:51

told me we may have met him one time.

33:53

I'm sure you've met him out in a bout

33:55

before. Whatever.

33:58

Looks like a, like a. Oh

34:01

energy un only there's still there's a

34:03

whole new cast the characters now. Yeah,

34:05

he bore falling forward still. Isn't

34:08

a meal why I'd. I'd

34:10

have no idea but I mean people did

34:12

when they moved into the house they had

34:14

like Zinni Move and ah Jacob, De and

34:17

Blake they started in the only man new

34:19

people and and then people cheat tab leaving.

34:22

Bows really weird as they move from West

34:24

Hollywood to buy a house and more part

34:26

of our outside of L A. and so

34:29

I had to make a conscious decision when.

34:31

Everyone in my life was telling me fuck

34:33

no don't move our way of melee. You're

34:35

making music now you have to be by

34:38

the Psu You're you're going every day Yeah

34:40

and sounds like okay let me try to

34:42

meet them halfway. It's I moved to Encino

34:44

and they were so upset about I'm like

34:46

did I am thirty minutes now from you

34:48

and thirty meds for my city out That

34:50

makes me happy. but then after I moved

34:53

and that is. Were. Just salty.

34:55

The I was spending more

34:57

time doing music than. Putting.

35:00

My time and some making brand Elsa

35:02

the Hide house and like there is

35:05

like yeah we'll we'll cover euro if

35:07

you make conflict for being promos for

35:09

us we said fuck no and so

35:11

we never did one and. Obviously

35:14

we would Now we would. Never is a

35:16

deal is a they weren't gonna cover rent,

35:18

they were going to save all the having

35:20

stuff and cover their rare and. I

35:24

me at the in the day they were just

35:26

like worse and put our money and soon like

35:28

what we already have gone on at this house

35:30

and oh my god they just made a crazy

35:32

decision to like drop all this money that they

35:34

just started making on a house and like yeah

35:36

it was it was as him at the end

35:38

of the day like we had the stuff and

35:40

target. We. Had typos Merson Target didn't

35:43

make a buck from that, didn't make a

35:45

buck from the the Mertz and we had.

35:47

We each had our our separate on. Codes.

35:50

for like a man wanted to like

35:52

support of certain creators no mere bucks

35:54

in the lights or anything to do

35:56

with high pass like you've probably profit

35:58

awesome the videos that we made, you know

36:00

what I mean? They get fused. I had sense here.

36:02

Yeah, exactly. Wait, so is Vinny and

36:05

all of them still a part of it? No. Everyone's

36:07

pretty much gone. I haven't really seen

36:09

much of it recently, but you know. I

36:11

just, I've seen him on my page being

36:14

like, I'm still in my house. This is

36:16

my trillion dollar house. That's, by the way,

36:18

horrendously ugly. Like, God, you

36:20

either have such a small penis

36:22

or like really, really, really, really

36:24

bad childhood trauma. So bad.

36:26

A little bit of both, you know. So

36:30

bad. Everything you're saying is the same stuff Alex

36:32

was saying when he was here a while ago.

36:34

Oh, we're, okay. Yeah, no,

36:36

I mean, I love Alex, right? Like, at the end

36:38

of the day, when we see each other, it's fucking

36:41

all good and dandy, you know. We, like,

36:45

still share ideas with each other. Still talking

36:47

the phone every now and then. We still, like, when

36:49

we see each other when we're out, like, we'll

36:52

catch up. And it's civil, but I

36:55

think I'm friends with, like,

36:57

maybe five people from the Hype House.

dog. Hey, I if you

41:19

if anyone's looking to adopt at all Let me know if

41:21

three that I'm fostering Dm me

41:24

I've always wondered this or people get a lot of

41:26

tattoos and they're young you still like them all I

41:28

love all of my tattoos. They embody me and I

41:30

will say that and so I'm in the grave and

41:34

Because you can't really do anything about them or because

41:36

you really mean it. Oh, I totally 100%

41:38

mean it yeah, I have the rest

41:40

of my body planned out and I'm

41:43

waiting for the right moment for each one.

41:45

I have The

41:47

rest of the sleep planned out the rest of my chest My

41:51

back my legs damn everything I

41:54

know what I'm gonna do but I

41:56

think it's always a matter of time because I

41:58

rushed when I did these I knew exactly

42:00

what I wanted, but I

42:03

feel like I went and did it

42:05

all within a year. And when people get a

42:07

new tattoo, you have to let it be its

42:10

own thing, you know? I get a new tattoo and

42:12

then I get a new one the next week. But

42:14

now I have been taking my time. I haven't gotten

42:16

a tattoo in a year, but I've been dying to

42:18

get back in because I have a chess

42:21

piece that I want. And

42:23

then when the time is right

42:25

and when I'm going

42:27

on a six month bender of

42:30

just going to the gym every day, I want

42:33

to get a big chess piece right here. Do

42:35

you consult your girlfriend before you do these things

42:37

or on your design? I

42:39

talked to her about it, but no one

42:41

can change my mind. I know exactly

42:43

what I want for the tattoos on my body and

42:46

they're all sick. I'm a big guy

42:48

when it comes to my theme. It's

42:51

kind of like a Renaissance theme and

42:54

it's got a little bit of sticker

42:56

tats, but it's also just like all

42:58

this old medieval,

43:01

like, so this is

43:03

a dagger. And then I forget what this

43:06

is called. Yeah,

43:08

I got a few weapons on here. A

43:11

bunch of shit. I got

43:13

a castle. I got a graveyard. Pretty

43:17

thank you. Then on this arm, I

43:19

got this is my most recent one. I got timber

43:21

and tattoo. That's cool. And

43:24

what's next? What's next? I'm

43:26

getting a vampire playing a harp. Cool.

43:29

Yeah. And he's got like a huge cloak

43:31

on. It's the coolest ever. Are you the vampire? Yes. 21st

43:34

century. 21st century vampire. Come

43:36

on now. Got it. It's weirdly.

43:39

I was watching you like your smart like you

43:41

give vampire a little bit. I have things. Are

43:44

they real or like? No, I mean, this is my

43:46

teeth. Yeah. Yeah.

43:49

It's not like I sharpen them or anything. Actually, it might be a little

43:51

bit of like chewing on my other

43:54

teeth. I just got like anxious and I

43:56

bite down. Oh, interesting. Yeah. So

43:58

that might be how it's developed. Yeah,

44:00

I've always had like sharp teeth. I don't

44:02

know why. Damn. I

44:04

think it's anxiety. Now you know it is

44:07

anxiety. Yeah. Well

44:09

it works for you. It's built to hold

44:11

it whole aesthetic or whole brand. Yeah,

44:13

no it has. Will become a

44:16

tattoo. And part

44:18

of that, thanks to like little Tracy, little Pete too.

44:21

Because I used to love them when I was a

44:23

kid and still do. I'm

44:26

friends with Tracy right now. And

44:28

I just

44:30

really, I really loved the

44:32

goth, like vampire aesthetic. It's always like stood out

44:34

to me and what I've always wanted to be

44:37

like a tattoo theme of mine. That's

44:40

sick. Thank you. Wish I

44:42

can get tattoos. You can. You know it's

44:44

possible, right? Yeah, I'd just be making mistakes.

44:47

Wow. Yeah, when my mom told me is if you think about

44:50

it for six months, then you can get it. And

44:53

I didn't listen to her the first time, but after

44:55

20 tattoos, now I listen to her. So.
