his apartment and to just be in his world that
he does his streams from. And I was just got

Speaker 7 (05:30):
That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
It was so cool.
Speaker 10 (05:32):
Actually, they would never have a synthesizer crew in school.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Now, I feel like, you.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Know, I wonder it was still a little bit left
over from the teachers being like synth geeks from.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
The eighties, all right, yeah, yeah, a good way. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And they had all these synthesizers and everybody would we
would write songs and we actually they would record them
in the band room.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh wow, put out a tape. There's a tape somewhere.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Really.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah.

Now.
Speaker 10 (06:42):
I came here for two years and sort of worked,
you know, jobs, trying to make the music thing work
very unsuccessfully, and then went back to Dallas to help
take care of my dad. He was sick, and that's
when I started. I lost a job there and started
playing at bars and restaurants in Dallas at Twilight Lounge
(07:05):
and Deep Elum and uh some other places. And then
I moved back here once I you know, garnered like
a local following there, moved back here to try and
take it to a bigger place.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Wow and uh yeah yeah wow. I always loved being here.

Speaker 12 (17:42):
Though?
Speaker 7 (17:43):
This is so fun, Like it just happens immediately.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
How do you?
Speaker 7 (17:47):
I have so many questions, That's what I'm here for.
Ask away.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah, so when did you start looping in Dallas when
you moved back or did you already been into.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That kind of thing?
Speaker 23 (17:57):
No?
Speaker 10 (17:57):
I started right when I went back to Dallas. I
I Reggie Watts.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Is what kicked it off for me.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Get that.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Yeah, he's just the dude.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
He's the legend, the og improvised Lupert And yeah, I
saw him while I was living here.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh you saw him live?
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Yeah, okay, and he blew.
Speaker 10 (18:20):
He completely blew my mind, you know, just and then
I sort of watched more of him and discovered that
all that he just makes it all up, And that
was just so intensely beautiful to me. And I sort
of just hoped that if, you know, if I ever
did anything musical, that maybe I could sort of do
(18:41):
something in that way you know that was all made up.
That just seemed really appealing. I had been trying to
make music just as sort of a bedroom producer for years,
you know, trying to make beats for people and stuff
and oh yeah, that didn't work out at all. Never
made a sent doing that. So yeah, anyway, when I'm
back to Dallas, I got one of these. I got
(19:01):
one of these RC five O five's. It's the only
hardware Looper that is made for fingers and not feet.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
Oh you know every other.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Loopero playing guitar.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Yeah, they're exactly.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
So I think they made this originally for like beat boxers.
I think, I want to say something like that. A
lot of beat boxers use it, but I got one
just because it was not because you use it with
your hands and it's more designed for the hands, which
I don't know why that appealed to me, but it did.
And I just sort of figured it out in Dallas,
played around with it, and then slowly started making little
(19:38):
videos using it, and.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's pretty cool because you make everything up on the spot.
And it reminded me of how people talk about improv comedy.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Oh yeah, yes and yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yes exactly.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So that makes sense now that you were in theater,
are you into improv?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
I haven't even actually thought about that. Were you right?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Were you deep in Shakespeare or were you doing any improv?
Speaker 7 (20:08):
I was pretty into improv.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
Yeah, I mean I was mostly doing uh, just sort
of standard stage stuff, you know, I would do you know,
I did like The Crucible and Inherit the Wind and
these kinds of like right of passage, you know, school
theater stuff. But it was always I mean, I was
(20:30):
always much more interested in like comedy leaning things, I suppose,
and maybe better at it arguably, you know, I think
I just was more inclined and better suited for that
sort of stuff. And so, yeah, like you say, it's
really no surprise that this is kind of where it
ended up.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I guess it's making more sense to me.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Yeah, I never thought about that, but you're absolutely right. Yeah, yeah,
that's bizarre. It's weird how things just sort of wind
around and work themselves out in that way, isn't it.
I mean, I guess if it takes work, of course,
but like somehow things just always end up like figuring
(21:10):
themselves out in a way that makes sense in relation
to who you.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Are, you know, in a way you find yourself. Yeah right,
I guess, yeah, yeah, hopefully, Yeah that's the hope. I guess.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Are you Are you the only musician in your family?
Speaker 7 (21:27):
I am, really yeah, only one.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Yeah, which is a disadvantage, you know, it just is
it's Yeah, I feel like I'm.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Not you know, I I've.
Speaker 10 (21:39):
Always felt as soon as I got into this, I
felt that I am a little bit of imposter syndrome
because so many people who I look up to in
music and people who I've been lucky enough to play with,
you know, a lot of them come from this deep
musical family. And what I would have given. I mean,
(21:59):
I loved my childhood. I love my parents, but you know,
and they were always playing records around me.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
So they had good musical taste. Musical taste that's all
you need.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Yeah, I guess so to develop a beer you know, totally. Yeah,
that's probably true, I think so. You know, it would
have been nice to spend time in studios as a
kid and stuff.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
But I just it just wasn't my childhood.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I feel like it's not most people's child That's probably true.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It wasn't my child Yeah, no, oh that's nice.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Well how did you What was your childhood like musically?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Well, I was always enrolled in piano. I started a
piano when I was seven, and but mostly I sing
in church choirs. That was my reeling because I had
a natural singing voice. Yeah, and so I was in
church choir since I was five.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
Oh wow, that's like the Aretha Franklin thing.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Except very different kind of church. But it was it
was still good. It was great.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
And yeah, but and then school choirs and then band.
Right then I grew up in Grapevine.
Speaker 10 (22:58):
Oh, no way, yeah, Gravevie. I know that's out there.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, I mean it was. It was all I knew.
It was fine, and yeah it was a marching band.
And then in tenth grade I wanted to go to
Booker t Yeah, for high school, so we moved to Dallas.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Then.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Oh so you had freshman year in another high school.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, in marching band, right.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So so what part of Dallas did you grow up in.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
I grew up sort of all over. I was born
in Greenway. Park's sort of a little fancy little collection
of houses that are built on these greenways. They're all
all the houses in this neighborhood are built on like
these public sort of greenway parks. Nice, and there's kind
(23:43):
of nice, bucolic, little family, you know area in Dallas. Yeah,
it's like sort of nestled. I can't remember if it's
I think it's like just a little north of Highland Park.
It's right off the toll way. So I grew up there.
But then I lived, I mean all over the place.
We lived in Uptown, we lived in East Dallas, I
lived in North Dallas, all over the place.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Yeah, I love that city, you do, Yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
I have a lot of just I mean, my whole
childhood is there, you know, I have all the every
time I go back.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I just went back to play a New Year's.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
Eve show at the Bomb Factory, at this amazing venue
in deep Ellum. And that's not called the Bomb Factory anymore.
That's just called the Factory now. But terrible name change.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Terrible.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
It used to be a Bomb Factory.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Yeah, great branding, great name, very recognizable, and now is
just the Factory because I think the owners had a
falling out or something so they had to rebrand. But anyway,
every time I go back, I just know every like
square inch of that place.
Speaker 12 (24:50):
You know.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
I can just take my I take my mom's car
and I just drive. I go around, just drive for hours,
and it fills me with some sort of really yeah,
some sort of joy that cannot be duplicated any other
way this nostalgia joy.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Totally, that's the childhood nostalgia of home.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It is.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
It's really what about Do you feel like I would?
I would imagine you feel like New York is very much.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Home for you.
Speaker 10 (25:19):
I do.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
My childhood was a little fragmented.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I I I grew up in Grapevine, but I went
to like somehow, I went to four different schools. Oh wow,
because I don't know, it's not worth getting into.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
But they were all great.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
It wasn't like I was in one specific group of
one school for so long, right right. We moved to
Alaska in sixth grade or seventh grade for a few months,
and then when it came back, I was in Colleyville.
Speaker 7 (25:45):

Definitely something you can sing about.
Speaker 10 (34:11):
Yeah, it's a little big.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
It's definitely I like that.
Speaker 10 (34:16):
Yeah, I'm down. Yeah, we could definitely make a song
out of that. There's something there. Then you just take
it to some other little set of chords for another section,
you know. But that's just a sweet little you can
sing about, sing about fee, can sing about las, sing
about tea anything.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
And if yeah, something it's nice.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Need a minute, you should finish.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
That's all I got, you know, I got little slices.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
That's what I do. I do little slices. But that
is something that I'm working on that I need help with.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Well, that's what I was wondering is because you've put
out albums.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Yeah, well those they're not real albums.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
They're they're I mean, they're like album length things that
I put out, but they are rips from the videos
that I do.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
They're all yeah, they're all just audio rips. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:17):
So that's that's actually something that I'm trying to do now,
is you know I have for a couple of years now,
I've been wanting to do like a full length, like
a really a produced composed.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:32):
Yeah, and I'm trying to figure out you know, because
I hope I would like it to be.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
You know, I have a lot of.
Speaker 10 (35:42):
Sort of melodic ideas and chord structure ideas that I
think have value. But the thing is, okay, this is
my little train of thought with this, is that like
I have a very hard time with like the regular
sort of studio process. I'm not very good with it
or patient with it.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
You know, well you're so quick.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
It's like a blessing and a curse, you know.
Speaker 10 (36:10):
Frustrating it is it's just boor it's maybe more boring
more than anything or that I don't have the patience
for it, and so I I when I get around
to trying to and I've tried a few times. I've
like gone to la for a couple of months and
tried to link with some of my people over there
and start making songs. I never can lay a note down.
It's very difficult for me to get there, which is
(36:34):
upsetting for me because I want to, you know, I
want to create a piece of work like that.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
And so I have this idea.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
And it sort of has to do with this this
studio that I just got, but it could also be
separate from that. But the idea is that in order
to force myself to make a record, basically, what I
would like to do is, like my original idea was
(37:05):
to do it as a performance, so in other words,
to schedule a series of dates where you buy tickets
to this very intimate sort of like black box ish venue,
and I imagine it being in the round, but the
stage is set up like a music studio, so it's
(37:25):
there's there's a board for an engineer and a producer. Yeah,
the stage is a studio. There's a vocal booth, there's keyboards,
there's a drum kit, there's a but whatever everything you
need for like an actual studio setup, and people come
in and you the the experiences you are in. It's
(37:46):
not seats, it's couches, it's bean bags, it's carpets. So
you're buying a ticket for a full day and essentially
you're coming in to sit in on a studio session.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
But it's a show, so you won't get bored.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That way.
Speaker 7 (38:02):
It's a way to force myself, you know.
Speaker 10 (38:04):
It's like, let me put these dates out so that
I can get this ship done and force myself to
do that. The other version of it is, instead of
having to do it with an audience, which is its
own sort of logistical thing, would be to do it
as a series of live streams in this new studio
(38:25):
space that I have, so, in other words, to live
stream the writing and recording of this thing over the
course of a series of dates.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
That's very fun.
Speaker 7 (38:34):
You like it?
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I do.
Speaker 10 (38:35):
I think it could be fun. Come through you know
what I mean, like come you just oh watch it?
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 10 (38:43):
But also I mean I would love it. It would
be fun to have, yeah, to watch it too, be
you know. But yeah, it's a way to get myself
back on the internet in a different context. You know,
I've sort of grown bored of these the live streams
in the way that I've done them, just been doing
them for a long long time, and I'm sort of
tired of the format and to be able to get
(39:05):
to do something that's formatted differently in the service of
like a real LP. And then it's also a way
for me to I can bring my friends in you
you know, anyone who wants to come in and help
with the writing process can just come and fuck around.
It's like a playground, you know. I'll have this whole
place that's just set up to play, but it's being
(39:26):
recorded and broadcasts.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
You like it, I do, Okay, cool if you're.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
If you want to change it up online and that's
that's like a great also.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
People love to be.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
A part of They love that ship.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
The reason I thought about it was because I was
watching Get Back the Beatles documentary.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Oh yeah, you see it, not.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
All of it yet. It's incredible.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
It's really incredible.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Watching just watching the process.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
That's it. That's it. I was super stoned. I was
watching it and I was like.
Speaker 15 (40:00):
Wait a second.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
I was like wait just a fucking second. I could
just do this for me.
Speaker 10 (40:09):
I don't know if people would be as interested in it,
but people like to watch me, yeah, bumble around online.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
People like it, you know, I think they do. I
think they like watching that happen.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, and especially if you change it up.
Speaker 10 (40:22):
And yeah, yeah, it's a different way to serve it.
It's a different way to serve this experience. And it
also hopefully at the end, you know, it's like, even
if I don't write the songs fully and completely during
those sessions, it's like, don't have to be done.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
You don't have to say it's going to be this
exactly right.
Speaker 7 (40:44):
I think so too.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Also, it's a good way to push yourself into a
new territory, which is how you grow, you know, and
how you keep it fresh, trying to do oh no.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
For your fresh, for yourself.
Speaker 7 (41:02):
Yeah, no, no, no, it's true. It's true.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Yeah, that's that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
You can't just keep doing the same thing over and over, no,
getting kind of tired of it.
Speaker 10 (41:10):
It's yeah, you feel like that sort of thing. It
feels like to me, like it's like creative death. It's
just like you feel like, what the fuck am I doing,
you know what I mean, just like Jesus. Yeah, it's
really it can screw with your head.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
I think have you ever had you had that feeling?
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Not too bad?
Speaker 7 (41:33):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
But I I think I got really hung up in
my after my first second record because I didn't really
write a lot of songs on either of those records.
I wrote a few of the songs, yeah, I didn't
write the bulk of the material.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
I got a little hung up on being a songwriter
and not knowing how to be a songwriter, or not
liking what I was writing interesting, feeling uninspired. But then
I realized that I'm always inspired. I just have to
catch it every once in a while.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
And it's so true.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
I haven't really had a bad period since then. But
I think it's I think it's because I've.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
Been open to I've been yes ding my whole career
pretty much. Like people asked me to do stuff, I'm like, sure,
you know, try and it always leads down a different
path that kind of like leads to something.
Speaker 7 (42:18):
I mean, wow, it's great, that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
Yeah, it's a good way to be. It's a lucky
just follow the thing. The thing whatever.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Also because my first record was a really big success. Yeah,
I think I just never felt like I was ever
going to match that.
Speaker 10 (42:33):
Oh yeah, that's a classic feeling chasing that.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah, but instead of trying to chase it, right.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 7 (42:41):
That's that's very smart.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
Well, I mean, I don't know if it's smart. It
depends on like, I don't know it worked.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
The label thought it was smart, but yeah, I think
for me it was it was the only way I
could keep making music.
Speaker 10 (42:56):
It was not to try to like you would have
driven yourself fucking crazy.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
Not to try to create that. Yeah, I've just been
pretty open.
Speaker 7 (43:03):
That's nice. That's really nice.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
But did you grow up singing because you have such
a great voice?
Speaker 7 (43:08):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
And did you grow up singing R and B?
Speaker 10 (43:11):
No, not really, No, I mean I grew up loving
R and B and motown, particularly my mom always listened
to a lot of motown. Listen to a lot of
Ray Charles James Brown, Temptations for Tops, Smokey Robinson, a
lot of you know, Thelma Houston and Aretha, a lot
(43:34):
of Aretha. Yeah, so a lot of that stuff. You know,
we're playing a lot of that. So I guess it's
just sort of burrowed in my brain and I and
I always felt very guided by inspired by that tonality,
like that sort of feeling that attitude in music. It
was always that sort of soul attitude. Always spoke to
(43:56):
me that the most strongly, I suppose and and but no,
I mean, well, actually yeah, I mean I went to
the Manhattan School of Music. I spent a little part
of my childhood in New Jersey, in Inglewood, New Jersey,
about seven years, I think, from when I was like
five to eleven or twelve in Inglewood, just right across
(44:18):
the George Washington Bridge, Bergen County was up. And so
we would come come into town and go to the
Manhattan School of Music. And I took piano lessons there
and choir there.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Oh so you did grow up doing.
Speaker 7 (44:30):
A little bit yeah, yeah, which I loved.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (44:33):
I missed choir, man, that's fun.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
What did you sing in choir? What kind of choir
was it?
Speaker 10 (44:39):
It was sort of a modern choir. I think we
did most like like jazz stuff. I remember we would
do blue skies, you know that sort of stuff that.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Was like dense harmonies, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (44:52):
Dense multi part sort of sliding harmonies like that that
were really fun. I have never really done it since,
but I remember having such a blast doing that choir
work learning.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
I did those kind of choir things in high school
and college.
Speaker 7 (45:06):
Yeah, man, isn't that just the most fun thing? Fun?
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Any kind of choir is fun.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (45:11):
Yeah, I've never done it since. I love it.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Yeah, well that's why you're good at harmonies too, and.
Speaker 10 (45:16):
Maybe, yeah, maybe it's fun to figure those out, you know,
as you just figure them out like that, how does
one thing slide in relation to another? But yeah, so anyway,
now that was but that was about the bulk of
the singing experience that I had. And then I would
just just for the joy of it, would sing all
the time and.
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Nobody else would your house, your brothers and sisters or
only child?
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Oh wow, kind of No, not really.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Well no, I have a half sister, very close with her,
but we didn't meet until we were sixteen and eighteen.
Speaker 11 (45:49):
Holy.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
So we both have this thing where we tell each
other yeah, I always I grew up an only child,
and then we laugh at each other. Yeah, but yeah,
so you did your parents sing with you?
Speaker 7 (46:03):
My dad enjoyed singing.
Speaker 10 (46:04):
He was you know he listened to is like my
mom would listen to a lot of motown and soul,
and then my dad. My dad enjoyed the Beatles a lot.
He was big into the Beatles, and he enjoyed like
opera and Gypsy Kings and like Arabic music. Really ah, yes,
So he was always walking around the you know, he
(46:27):
just walk around the house doing that sort of shit. Fine,
was singing and stuff like that, but no, I mean
really it wasn't like it wasn't really like a singing
family as you would expect, you know, it was he
would just sort of sing passively.
Speaker 7 (46:43):
And then I.
Speaker 10 (46:45):
Enjoyed it too, you know, just because I grew up
you know, playing piano and being sort of musical, I suppose,
but yeah, not not in any regimented way, you know,
outside of those little lessons at the midhat school music.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
You're just always musical.
Speaker 7 (46:58):
I guess. Yeah, yeah, very musical.
Speaker 11 (47:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (47:01):
I was enjoyed making noise. I was making ship and
was making noise I think, banging on desks and stuff,
little rhythm stuff on.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
Desks, you know, always making it out, yeah, always like
doing little drum beats.
Speaker 7 (47:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, all the time, all the time.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah, do you play drums?
Speaker 5 (47:18):
Drums?
Speaker 7 (47:20):
But I would like to learn.
Speaker 10 (47:22):
Definitely buying a sick drum kit for the studio.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
You're going to get really good at it.
Speaker 7 (47:30):
Do you play?
Speaker 4 (47:31):
I started playing a few years ago in this band
I'm in called Boots.
Speaker 7 (47:34):
Oh cool.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
We all trade around and I finally got the drum seat.
Speaker 5 (47:38):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
I'm okay at like a pretty straight beat. But yeah,
it is the funnest thing.
Speaker 15 (47:43):
Really.
Speaker 10 (47:44):
Yes, I I learned just a tiny bit in terms
of like how to do like the brush, you know,
the brush and sort of. It was a guy that's
a drummer that was teaching me about it, how like
how like you can use it to keep time, how
like the like one rotation around the snare with the
(48:06):
brush is like back to one sort of thing, which
was interesting.
Speaker 7 (48:09):
I didn't about that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, Yeah, that's
better than me.
Speaker 3 (48:16):
I don't know how to do I.
Speaker 10 (48:18):
Don't really either, but I'm excited I should learn. I'd
love to learn the bass as well as another instrument
that I would really love to learn.
Speaker 7 (48:23):
How to play.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 7 (48:25):
Yeah, we'll see. Gonna suck at first.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
And did you hang out with musicians in high school
or were you kind of very much a theater It
was kind of like that.
Speaker 4 (48:35):
I remember all the groups sort of hung out with
the music kids, hung out with the music kids, all
the theater kids.
Speaker 7 (48:41):
It was like that when you were there too, it
kind of was.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
I mean I definitely had friends.
Speaker 7 (48:45):
Yeah, I did too. I did too.
Speaker 10 (48:47):
I had, you know, a handful, Yeah, but by and large, Yeah,
it was like the clusters clusters such a bizarre it
was like a medical term, the cluster, the eastern cluster
moving into the appendix.
Speaker 7 (49:05):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 10 (49:06):
But yeah, I mean they were all it was all
fairly separate, you know, because we all have separate classes,
and like.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
We did, we had a lot of classes with each other.
Speaker 7 (49:12):
If that's the other thing.
Speaker 4 (49:13):
Samelus Cluster, cluster plus cluster.
Speaker 31 (49:20):
Was renovated when you went, no, I spent, I spent
Let's see, Uh, it would have been two years in
the original building and then two years in this interim
building Nolan Est in Oak Cliff, which was really fun.
Speaker 10 (49:41):
We were it was our building and only our building
for two years. We got it in the day.
Speaker 7 (49:47):
And that was it.
Speaker 10 (49:47):
We graduated out of that and then they moved everyone
into the new building.
Speaker 7 (49:51):
Building. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
That was such a cool vibe.
Speaker 7 (49:55):
Right, amazing space.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
It's so different.
Speaker 31 (49:57):
Yeah, oh my god, now it's like it looks crazy.
Speaker 10 (50:00):
It's like the CIA. Oh, well, live and learn. I'm
not a producer. As you can see, i don't know
what the hell I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (50:13):
You're about to be.
Speaker 7 (50:14):
Yeah, gotta learn.
Speaker 10 (50:16):
I mean, I think i'd like to have a producer
sort of with me through that process. Someone who did
you yeah, exactly, you know who I can I can
just play and they can get it down, you know,
and help me structure it.
Speaker 4 (50:28):
You don't have to think as much about the technical
stuff exactly.
Speaker 7 (50:32):
Pro'all be a good way to go, right if you
have the right person. Got to be the right producer.
Speaker 10 (50:38):
Yeah, someone who like understands your sound, your aesthetic, the
way you kind of.
Speaker 7 (50:46):
Amazing.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
Yeah, I saw your thing with her, that wasn't She's awesome.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
She she was our queen, you know.
Speaker 12 (50:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:53):
She went to our high school.
Speaker 7 (50:54):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
And she's you know, a few years older than me.
So when I was a junior she that was when
her first album came out.
Speaker 10 (51:02):
Oh really yeah, we were just like, yeah, she's royalty,
she's Royalty.
Speaker 7 (51:12):
Oh my god.
Speaker 10 (51:12):
It was terrifying because it was like it was this big,
mad rush. It was a lot of fun, but it
was like, you know, she just called me out of
nowhere while I was in Dallas.
Speaker 7 (51:22):
There was no warning, she just like called me.
Speaker 15 (51:25):
I was like what.
Speaker 10 (51:27):
She was like, Yeah, I've been watching you like what
you're doing. You know, I'd like to maybe come, like
be a background singer at your show or so I
was like, yeah, oh great, you don't have to be background,
just come and sing with me, you know. And so
we were rushing to sort of set it up. And
the first day she was supposed to come and do
like a sound check. Of course she didn't come. Sarahaby
(51:49):
she does whatever the fuck she wants. She's very much
like that, you know. She just come when she pleases,
and she is she's a queen. She could do that
totally fine. But anyway, the second day was the day
that she was supposed to come play, and she was
supposed to come early for that day, didn't come. Getting
closer to showtime. What's going on? Probably not going to happen.
(52:13):
So I was like, Okay, look, this whole thing is
fucking ridiculous. This is not happening. Who am I kidding?
It's Eric Abadu, It's probably not. This is just you know,
it's like it was fun to think that maybe it
was going to happen, but it's not happening, and so

his apartment and to just be in his world that
he does his streams from. And I was just got
to sit there and be part of it. And we
made all these songs on the spot, and I had

He completely blew my mind, you know, just and then
I sort of watched more of him and discovered that
all that he just makes it all up, And that
was just so intensely beautiful to me. And I sort
of just hoped that if, you know, if I ever
did anything musical, that maybe I could sort of do
(18:41):
something in that way you know that was all made up.
That just seemed really appealing. I had been trying to
make music just as sort of a bedroom producer for years,
you know, trying to make beats for people and stuff
and oh yeah, that didn't work out at all. Never
made a sent doing that. So yeah, anyway, when I'm
back to Dallas, I got one of these. I got
(19:01):
one of these RC five O five's. It's the only
hardware Looper that is made for fingers and not feet.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
Oh you know every other.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Loopero playing guitar.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Yeah, they're exactly.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
So I think they made this originally for like beat boxers.
I think, I want to say something like that. A
lot of beat boxers use it, but I got one
just because it was not because you use it with
your hands and it's more designed for the hands, which
I don't know why that appealed to me, but it did.
And I just sort of figured it out in Dallas,
played around with it, and then slowly started making little
(19:38):
videos using it, and.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's pretty cool because you make everything up on the spot.
And it reminded me of how people talk about improv comedy.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Oh yeah, yes and yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yes exactly.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So that makes sense now that you were in theater,
are you into improv?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
I haven't even actually thought about that. Were you right?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Were you deep in Shakespeare or were you doing any improv?
Speaker 7 (20:08):
I was pretty into improv.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
Yeah, I mean I was mostly doing uh, just sort
of standard stage stuff, you know, I would do you know,
I did like The Crucible and Inherit the Wind and
these kinds of like right of passage, you know, school
theater stuff. But it was always I mean, I was
(20:30):
always much more interested in like comedy leaning things, I suppose,
and maybe better at it arguably, you know, I think
I just was more inclined and better suited for that
sort of stuff. And so, yeah, like you say, it's
really no surprise that this is kind of where it
ended up.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I guess it's making more sense to me.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Yeah, I never thought about that, but you're absolutely right. Yeah, yeah,
that's bizarre. It's weird how things just sort of wind
around and work themselves out in that way, isn't it.
I mean, I guess if it takes work, of course,
but like somehow things just always end up like figuring
(21:10):
themselves out in a way that makes sense in relation
to who you.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Are, you know, in a way you find yourself. Yeah right,
I guess, yeah, yeah, hopefully, Yeah that's the hope. I guess.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Are you Are you the only musician in your family?
Speaker 7 (21:27):
I am, really yeah, only one.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Yeah, which is a disadvantage, you know, it just is
it's Yeah, I feel like I'm.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Not you know, I I've.
Speaker 10 (21:39):
Always felt as soon as I got into this, I
felt that I am a little bit of imposter syndrome
because so many people who I look up to in
music and people who I've been lucky enough to play with,
you know, a lot of them come from this deep
musical family. And what I would have given. I mean,
(21:59):
I loved my childhood. I love my parents, but you know,
and they were always playing records around me.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
So they had good musical taste. Musical taste that's all
you need.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Yeah, I guess so to develop a beer you know, totally. Yeah,
that's probably true, I think so. You know, it would
have been nice to spend time in studios as a
kid and stuff.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
But I just it just wasn't my childhood.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I feel like it's not most people's child That's probably true.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It wasn't my child Yeah, no, oh that's nice.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Well how did you What was your childhood like musically?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Well, I was always enrolled in piano. I started a
piano when I was seven, and but mostly I sing
in church choirs. That was my reeling because I had
a natural singing voice. Yeah, and so I was in
church choir since I was five.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
Oh wow, that's like the Aretha Franklin thing.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Except very different kind of church. But it was it
was still good. It was great.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
And yeah, but and then school choirs and then band.
Right then I grew up in Grapevine.
Speaker 10 (22:58):
Oh, no way, yeah, Gravevie. I know that's out there.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, I mean it was. It was all I knew.
It was fine, and yeah it was a marching band.
And then in tenth grade I wanted to go to
Booker t Yeah, for high school, so we moved to Dallas.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Then.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Oh so you had freshman year in another high school.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, in marching band, right.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So so what part of Dallas did you grow up in.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
I grew up sort of all over. I was born
in Greenway. Park's sort of a little fancy little collection
of houses that are built on these greenways. They're all
all the houses in this neighborhood are built on like
these public sort of greenway parks. Nice, and there's kind
(23:43):
of nice, bucolic, little family, you know area in Dallas. Yeah,
it's like sort of nestled. I can't remember if it's
I think it's like just a little north of Highland Park.
It's right off the toll way. So I grew up there.
But then I lived, I mean all over the place.
We lived in Uptown, we lived in East Dallas, I
lived in North Dallas, all over the place.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Yeah, I love that city, you do, Yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
I have a lot of just I mean, my whole
childhood is there, you know, I have all the every
time I go back.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I just went back to play a New Year's.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
Eve show at the Bomb Factory, at this amazing venue
in deep Ellum. And that's not called the Bomb Factory anymore.
That's just called the Factory now. But terrible name change.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Terrible.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
It used to be a Bomb Factory.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Yeah, great branding, great name, very recognizable, and now is
just the Factory because I think the owners had a
falling out or something so they had to rebrand. But anyway,
every time I go back, I just know every like
square inch of that place.
Speaker 12 (24:50):
You know.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
I can just take my I take my mom's car
and I just drive. I go around, just drive for hours,
and it fills me with some sort of really yeah,
some sort of joy that cannot be duplicated any other
way this nostalgia joy.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Totally, that's the childhood nostalgia of home.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It is.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
It's really what about Do you feel like I would?
I would imagine you feel like New York is very much.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Home for you.
Speaker 10 (25:19):
I do.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
My childhood was a little fragmented.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I I I grew up in Grapevine, but I went
to like somehow, I went to four different schools. Oh wow,
because I don't know, it's not worth getting into.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
But they were all great.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
It wasn't like I was in one specific group of
one school for so long, right right. We moved to
Alaska in sixth grade or seventh grade for a few months,
and then when it came back, I was in Colleyville.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
You went to Alaska?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yea, what did you do?
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Worries it? What was going on in Alaska?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Got to ask my mom.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
Bam boom bam.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
All right, we're back in it. Oh shit, I wonder
when to cut off.

Definitely something you can sing about.

Yeah, it's a little big.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
It's definitely I like that.
Speaker 10 (34:16):
Yeah, I'm down. Yeah, we could definitely make a song
out of that. There's something there. Then you just take
it to some other little set of chords for another section,
you know. But that's just a sweet little you can

Speaker 6 (34:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
And if yeah, something it's nice.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Need a minute, you should finish.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
That's all I got, you know, I got little slices.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
That's what I do. I do little slices. But that
is something that I'm working on that I need help with.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Well, that's what I was wondering is because you've put
out albums.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Yeah, well those they're not real albums.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
They're they're I mean, they're like album length things that
I put out, but they are rips from the videos
that I do.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
They're all yeah, they're all just audio rips. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:17):
So that's that's actually something that I'm trying to do now,
is you know I have for a couple of years now,
I've been wanting to do like a full length, like
a really a produced composed.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:32):
Yeah, and I'm trying to figure out you know, because
I hope I would like it to be.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
You know, I have a lot of.
Speaker 10 (35:42):
Sort of melodic ideas and chord structure ideas that I
think have value. But the thing is, okay, this is
my little train of thought with this, is that like
I have a very hard time with like the regular
sort of studio process. I'm not very good with it
or patient with it.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
You know, well you're so quick.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
It's like a blessing and a curse, you know.
Speaker 10 (36:10):
Frustrating it is it's just boor it's maybe more boring
more than anything or that I don't have the patience
for it, and so I I when I get around
to trying to and I've tried a few times. I've
like gone to la for a couple of months and
tried to link with some of my people over there
and start making songs. I never can lay a note down.
It's very difficult for me to get there, which is
(36:34):
upsetting for me because I want to, you know, I
want to create a piece of work like that.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
And so I have this idea.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
And it sort of has to do with this this
studio that I just got, but it could also be
separate from that. But the idea is that in order
to force myself to make a record, basically, what I
would like to do is, like my original idea was
(37:05):
to do it as a performance, so in other words,
to schedule a series of dates where you buy tickets
to this very intimate sort of like black box ish venue,
and I imagine it being in the round, but the
stage is set up like a music studio, so it's
(37:25):
there's there's a board for an engineer and a producer. Yeah,
the stage is a studio. There's a vocal booth, there's keyboards,
there's a drum kit, there's a but whatever everything you
need for like an actual studio setup, and people come
in and you the the experiences you are in. It's
(37:46):
not seats, it's couches, it's bean bags, it's carpets. So
you're buying a ticket for a full day and essentially
you're coming in to sit in on a studio session.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
But it's a show, so you won't get bored.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That way.
Speaker 7 (38:02):
It's a way to force myself, you know.
Speaker 10 (38:04):
It's like, let me put these dates out so that
I can get this ship done and force myself to
do that. The other version of it is, instead of
having to do it with an audience, which is its
own sort of logistical thing, would be to do it
as a series of live streams in this new studio
(38:25):
space that I have, so, in other words, to live
stream the writing and recording of this thing over the
course of a series of dates.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
That's very fun.
Speaker 7 (38:34):
You like it?
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I do.
Speaker 10 (38:35):
I think it could be fun. Come through you know
what I mean, like come you just oh watch it?
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 10 (38:43):
But also I mean I would love it. It would
be fun to have, yeah, to watch it too, be
you know. But yeah, it's a way to get myself
back on the internet in a different context. You know,
I've sort of grown bored of these the live streams
in the way that I've done them, just been doing
them for a long long time, and I'm sort of
tired of the format and to be able to get
(39:05):
to do something that's formatted differently in the service of
like a real LP. And then it's also a way
for me to I can bring my friends in you
you know, anyone who wants to come in and help
with the writing process can just come and fuck around.
It's like a playground, you know. I'll have this whole
place that's just set up to play, but it's being
(39:26):
recorded and broadcasts.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
You like it, I do, Okay, cool if you're.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
If you want to change it up online and that's
that's like a great also.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
People love to be.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
A part of They love that ship.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
The reason I thought about it was because I was
watching Get Back the Beatles documentary.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Oh yeah, you see it, not.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
All of it yet. It's incredible.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
It's really incredible.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Watching just watching the process.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
That's it. That's it. I was super stoned. I was
watching it and I was like.
Speaker 15 (40:00):
Wait a second.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
I was like wait just a fucking second. I could
just do this for me.
Speaker 10 (40:09):
I don't know if people would be as interested in it,
but people like to watch me, yeah, bumble around online.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
People like it, you know, I think they do. I
think they like watching that happen.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, and especially if you change it up.
Speaker 10 (40:22):
And yeah, yeah, it's a different way to serve it.
It's a different way to serve this experience. And it
also hopefully at the end, you know, it's like, even
if I don't write the songs fully and completely during
those sessions, it's like, don't have to be done.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
You don't have to say it's going to be this
exactly right.
Speaker 7 (40:44):
I think so too.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Also, it's a good way to push yourself into a
new territory, which is how you grow, you know, and
how you keep it fresh, trying to do oh no.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
For your fresh, for yourself.
Speaker 7 (41:02):
Yeah, no, no, no, it's true. It's true.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Yeah, that's that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
You can't just keep doing the same thing over and over, no,
getting kind of tired of it.
Speaker 10 (41:10):
It's yeah, you feel like that sort of thing. It
feels like to me, like it's like creative death. It's
just like you feel like, what the fuck am I doing,
you know what I mean, just like Jesus. Yeah, it's
really it can screw with your head.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
I think have you ever had you had that feeling?
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Not too bad?
Speaker 7 (41:33):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
But I I think I got really hung up in
my after my first second record because I didn't really
write a lot of songs on either of those records.
I wrote a few of the songs, yeah, I didn't
write the bulk of the material.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
I got a little hung up on being a songwriter
and not knowing how to be a songwriter, or not
liking what I was writing interesting, feeling uninspired. But then
I realized that I'm always inspired. I just have to
catch it every once in a while.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
And it's so true.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
I haven't really had a bad period since then. But
I think it's I think it's because I've.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
Been open to I've been yes ding my whole career
pretty much. Like people asked me to do stuff, I'm like, sure,
you know, try and it always leads down a different
path that kind of like leads to something.
Speaker 7 (42:18):
I mean, wow, it's great, that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
Yeah, it's a good way to be. It's a lucky
just follow the thing. The thing whatever.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Also because my first record was a really big success. Yeah,
I think I just never felt like I was ever
going to match that.
Speaker 10 (42:33):
Oh yeah, that's a classic feeling chasing that.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah, but instead of trying to chase it, right.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 7 (42:41):
That's that's very smart.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
Well, I mean, I don't know if it's smart. It
depends on like, I don't know it worked.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
The label thought it was smart, but yeah, I think
for me it was it was the only way I
could keep making music.
Speaker 10 (42:56):
It was not to try to like you would have
driven yourself fucking crazy.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
Not to try to create that. Yeah, I've just been
pretty open.
Speaker 7 (43:03):
That's nice. That's really nice.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
But did you grow up singing because you have such
a great voice?
Speaker 7 (43:08):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
And did you grow up singing R and B?
Speaker 10 (43:11):
No, not really, No, I mean I grew up loving
R and B and motown, particularly my mom always listened
to a lot of motown. Listen to a lot of
Ray Charles James Brown, Temptations for Tops, Smokey Robinson, a
lot of you know, Thelma Houston and Aretha, a lot
(43:34):
of Aretha. Yeah, so a lot of that stuff. You know,
we're playing a lot of that. So I guess it's
just sort of burrowed in my brain and I and
I always felt very guided by inspired by that tonality,
like that sort of feeling that attitude in music. It
was always that sort of soul attitude. Always spoke to
(43:56):
me that the most strongly, I suppose and and but no,
I mean, well, actually yeah, I mean I went to
the Manhattan School of Music. I spent a little part
of my childhood in New Jersey, in Inglewood, New Jersey,
about seven years, I think, from when I was like
five to eleven or twelve in Inglewood, just right across
(44:18):
the George Washington Bridge, Bergen County was up. And so
we would come come into town and go to the
Manhattan School of Music. And I took piano lessons there
and choir there.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Oh so you did grow up doing.
Speaker 7 (44:30):
A little bit yeah, yeah, which I loved.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (44:33):
I missed choir, man, that's fun.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
What did you sing in choir? What kind of choir
was it?
Speaker 10 (44:39):
It was sort of a modern choir. I think we
did most like like jazz stuff. I remember we would
do blue skies, you know that sort of stuff that.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Was like dense harmonies, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (44:52):
Dense multi part sort of sliding harmonies like that that
were really fun. I have never really done it since,
but I remember having such a blast doing that choir
work learning.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
I did those kind of choir things in high school
and college.
Speaker 7 (45:06):
Yeah, man, isn't that just the most fun thing? Fun?
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Any kind of choir is fun.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (45:11):
Yeah, I've never done it since. I love it.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Yeah, well that's why you're good at harmonies too, and.
Speaker 10 (45:16):
Maybe, yeah, maybe it's fun to figure those out, you know,
as you just figure them out like that, how does
one thing slide in relation to another? But yeah, so anyway,
now that was but that was about the bulk of
the singing experience that I had. And then I would
just just for the joy of it, would sing all
the time and.
Speaker 4 (45:37):
Nobody else would your house, your brothers and sisters or
only child?
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Oh wow, kind of No, not really.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Well no, I have a half sister, very close with her,
but we didn't meet until we were sixteen and eighteen.
Speaker 11 (45:49):
Holy.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
So we both have this thing where we tell each
other yeah, I always I grew up an only child,
and then we laugh at each other. Yeah, but yeah,
so you did your parents sing with you?
Speaker 7 (46:03):
My dad enjoyed singing.
Speaker 10 (46:04):
He was you know he listened to is like my
mom would listen to a lot of motown and soul,
and then my dad. My dad enjoyed the Beatles a lot.
He was big into the Beatles, and he enjoyed like
opera and Gypsy Kings and like Arabic music. Really ah, yes,
So he was always walking around the you know, he
(46:27):
just walk around the house doing that sort of shit. Fine,
was singing and stuff like that, but no, I mean
really it wasn't like it wasn't really like a singing
family as you would expect, you know, it was he
would just sort of sing passively.
Speaker 7 (46:43):
And then I.
Speaker 10 (46:45):
Enjoyed it too, you know, just because I grew up
you know, playing piano and being sort of musical, I suppose,
but yeah, not not in any regimented way, you know,
outside of those little lessons at the midhat school music.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
You're just always musical.
Speaker 7 (46:58):
I guess. Yeah, yeah, very musical.
Speaker 11 (47:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (47:01):
I was enjoyed making noise. I was making ship and
was making noise I think, banging on desks and stuff,
little rhythm stuff on.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
Desks, you know, always making it out, yeah, always like
doing little drum beats.
Speaker 7 (47:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, all the time, all the time.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah, do you play drums?
Speaker 5 (47:18):
Drums?
Speaker 7 (47:20):
But I would like to learn.
Speaker 10 (47:22):
Definitely buying a sick drum kit for the studio.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
You're going to get really good at it.
Speaker 7 (47:30):
Do you play?
Speaker 4 (47:31):
I started playing a few years ago in this band
I'm in called Boots.
Speaker 7 (47:34):
Oh cool.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
We all trade around and I finally got the drum seat.
Speaker 5 (47:38):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
I'm okay at like a pretty straight beat. But yeah,
it is the funnest thing.
Speaker 15 (47:43):
Really.
Speaker 10 (47:44):
Yes, I I learned just a tiny bit in terms
of like how to do like the brush, you know,
the brush and sort of. It was a guy that's
a drummer that was teaching me about it, how like
how like you can use it to keep time, how
like the like one rotation around the snare with the
(48:06):
brush is like back to one sort of thing, which
was interesting.
Speaker 7 (48:09):
I didn't about that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, Yeah, that's
better than me.
Speaker 3 (48:16):
I don't know how to do I.
Speaker 10 (48:18):
Don't really either, but I'm excited I should learn. I'd
love to learn the bass as well as another instrument
that I would really love to learn.
Speaker 7 (48:23):
How to play.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 7 (48:25):
Yeah, we'll see. Gonna suck at first.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
And did you hang out with musicians in high school
or were you kind of very much a theater It
was kind of like that.
Speaker 4 (48:35):
I remember all the groups sort of hung out with
the music kids, hung out with the music kids, all
the theater kids.
Speaker 7 (48:41):
It was like that when you were there too, it
kind of was.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
I mean I definitely had friends.
Speaker 7 (48:45):
Yeah, I did too. I did too.
Speaker 10 (48:47):
I had, you know, a handful, Yeah, but by and large, Yeah,
it was like the clusters clusters such a bizarre it
was like a medical term, the cluster, the eastern cluster
moving into the appendix.
Speaker 7 (49:05):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 10 (49:06):
But yeah, I mean they were all it was all
fairly separate, you know, because we all have separate classes,
and like.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
We did, we had a lot of classes with each other.
Speaker 7 (49:12):
If that's the other thing.
Speaker 4 (49:13):
Samelus Cluster, cluster plus cluster.
Speaker 31 (49:20):
Was renovated when you went, no, I spent, I spent
Let's see, Uh, it would have been two years in
the original building and then two years in this interim
building Nolan Est in Oak Cliff, which was really fun.
Speaker 10 (49:41):
We were it was our building and only our building
for two years. We got it in the day.
Speaker 7 (49:47):
And that was it.
Speaker 10 (49:47):
We graduated out of that and then they moved everyone
into the new building.
Speaker 7 (49:51):
Building. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
That was such a cool vibe.
Speaker 7 (49:55):
Right, amazing space.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
It's so different.
Speaker 31 (49:57):
Yeah, oh my god, now it's like it looks crazy.
Speaker 10 (50:00):
It's like the CIA. Oh, well, live and learn. I'm
not a producer. As you can see, i don't know
what the hell I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (50:13):
You're about to be.
Speaker 7 (50:14):
Yeah, gotta learn.
Speaker 10 (50:16):
I mean, I think i'd like to have a producer
sort of with me through that process. Someone who did
you yeah, exactly, you know who I can I can
just play and they can get it down, you know,
and help me structure it.
Speaker 4 (50:28):
You don't have to think as much about the technical
stuff exactly.
Speaker 7 (50:32):
Pro'all be a good way to go, right if you
have the right person. Got to be the right producer.
Speaker 10 (50:38):
Yeah, someone who like understands your sound, your aesthetic, the
way you kind of.
Speaker 7 (50:46):
Amazing.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
Yeah, I saw your thing with her, that wasn't She's awesome.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
She she was our queen, you know.
Speaker 12 (50:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:53):
She went to our high school.
Speaker 7 (50:54):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
And she's you know, a few years older than me.
So when I was a junior she that was when
her first album came out.
Speaker 10 (51:02):
Oh really yeah, we were just like, yeah, she's royalty,
she's Royalty.
Speaker 7 (51:12):
Oh my god.
Speaker 10 (51:12):
It was terrifying because it was like it was this big,
mad rush. It was a lot of fun, but it
was like, you know, she just called me out of
nowhere while I was in Dallas.
Speaker 7 (51:22):
There was no warning, she just like called me.
Speaker 15 (51:25):
I was like what.
Speaker 10 (51:27):
She was like, Yeah, I've been watching you like what
you're doing. You know, I'd like to maybe come, like
be a background singer at your show or so I
was like, yeah, oh great, you don't have to be background,
just come and sing with me, you know. And so
we were rushing to sort of set it up. And
the first day she was supposed to come and do
like a sound check. Of course she didn't come. Sarahaby
(51:49):
she does whatever the fuck she wants. She's very much
like that, you know. She just come when she pleases,
and she is she's a queen. She could do that
totally fine. But anyway, the second day was the day
that she was supposed to come play, and she was
supposed to come early for that day, didn't come. Getting
closer to showtime. What's going on? Probably not going to happen.
(52:13):
So I was like, Okay, look, this whole thing is
fucking ridiculous. This is not happening. Who am I kidding?
It's Eric Abadu, It's probably not. This is just you know,
it's like it was fun to think that maybe it
was going to happen, but it's not happening, and so
I resigned myself to that.
Speaker 7 (52:32):
I went on stage.
Speaker 10 (52:33):
As I'm walking up to the stage, my tour manager's like,
they're on their way.
Speaker 7 (52:37):
So I knew. I knew she was coming when I
got on stage, but I didn't know when. I didn't
know what to do.
Speaker 10 (52:44):
We had never met, so it's like when she walked
in as the first time we met, and we just
just went from there.
Speaker 7 (52:49):
That's it was. It was fun. It was fun. It
was really fun. I was kind of in a panic
the whole time, you know, but yeah, it was fun.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
