Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay what's going on? Because you're actually performing with like
a full orchestra, right, I mean.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
An orchestra, But it's kind of like an anthology of
reg you know. I went to see it with Sting
when Sting did it, and I was just so moved,
and I walked in his room and I was like,
I'm jealous. I gotta do this, you know, And then
they say, yeah, you could definitely do this, And I
have my music sheet and.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
What's it like to stand on a stage and sing
with an orchestra. That's got to be such a blasting.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's just a different spin on these records that you're
that's so iconic that you've been raised with. And you
know we're gonna have a Drummond bas there, of course,
but the string section.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Is all all all there, and that's it. Was it
the twenty fifth? I think?

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, at Hinz Hall, you do it a lot.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Busy. I'm busy.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm Jamaican.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
I got five million jobs. Come on, you gotta work.
Is that got you?

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Is it funny being shaggy right now? Are you having
a blast still? Because you always seemed like the guy
who was always having the most fun. Is it still
hitting that way?

Speaker 3 (06:10):
You know?

Speaker 4 (06:10):
You know what, Elvis? I live life with gratitude.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I'm from a small fishing village in Kingston and the
ghettos of Kingston, and I rose out of that and
I met some of my greatest hero I met the Pope.
I met Nelson Mandela and he knew my name. I
met the Queen, she knew my name.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
I met Oh, let me tell you you know, she walked,
wasn't me?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
I mean?

Speaker 4 (06:42):
You know? I mean, I met some of some of
the greatest, some of my heroes, Michael Jack's everybody. I
met them and they knew who I was.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
So to me, I live life with gratitude where I
go out there and sing these songs that I'm on tour,
and I look and I see three hundred people with
her truckers and and and lighting riggers and secure these
and and managers and staff, and that's three hundred electric bills,
cool fees, mortgages, you know, because I got to sing.

(07:09):
So we're all servants. What you're doing, Elvis is service.
Everybody here comes to a job because you came out
of service. And you got to realize that we need
to get off our eye horses and realize it's the service.
People like, oh, he's a genius. He wrote it wasn't me,
wrote Boombastic. I'm like, bro, I might have physically rolled that,
but I didn't write that.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
That's magic. You know.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
If I could write it wasn't me, I'd be writing
one every week. I'd be so loaded. So we have
to realize that we're we're really just servants. And my
job on here is to change people's lives. And everyone
that I've touched, I've or been in my and wh
me throughout any part of the journey has gotten better

(07:48):
than when they came. And when it's when your your
service is up and your services go, you're done and
that's it.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
You know, we all you been doing.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
This for a while and you've worked with so many
people and you've done so many things.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
So is there someone you still want to work with
or something you still want to do that you haven't done?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
You know, I never looked at it as who I
want to work with. Yeah, everything goes off of a
synergy and and how it can connect with my audience
and how first of all, how it connected with me
because I kind of do it selfishly. It's got to
move me first. But I love Billy Eilish. I think
she's one of the greatest that ever did it. I
like a lot of new new artists. I like Sabrina Carpenter,

(08:25):
like chop Roll, I like I like, hey, uh, jelly
Roll is fantastic too. There's you know, there's a lot
of people that are there that I think are just
fantastic artists. And so it all depends on the vibe.
Uh you know Shaboozi, Oh that's my guy too.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
You know what I mean. So there's a lot of
things that's going there that I really really like.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Make it happen, make it happy. Yeah, I'm gonna give
you one. I'm gonna give you the one, the ultimate.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, tell me shaggy and share.

You know, we got a new stage.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well that was amazing when when you when the two
of you first started hanging out in the same lane
with each other. We loved that. Remember you actually brought
Stein to our Memorial Day weekend.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Y And and to think about that, people look at
them looking in the paper, and it's like.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
How does this even make sense?

Speaker 2 (09:20):
It makes all the sense in the World's my point.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
When you hear it.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
When you hear it, it makes sense, you're like, oh my god,
this is great, you know, and think this thing is
my you know, he's my best friend and I love that.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Uh, he's really up.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
He's made me do things I never thought I could do,
Like I sang Sinatra and reggae.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, you sang it at our jumpstart to Something.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yes, yes, exactly, Okay, that's why I got it.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, And he'll push me to do things, and then
I'll push him to do things like, you know, some
real deep reggae cut there or some dance all stuff.
And this next song we did was it's a celebration
of sound system because I know you're familiar with with
yellow Man, right absolutely, Yeah, So yellow Man really it's
like street music, street reggae music, sound sist in music,

(10:03):
and uh, this is kind of like a tribute to.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
The essence of street music and sting.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
And I just really kind of rocked the record on
there and on an old it's an old yellow Man
beat actually that we flipped I'm getting married and it
