Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so we're backstage with kid Le Roy Mercedes

(00:03):
Bands Interview Lounge. Thank you so much for being here, Danielle.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I was just with you in New York and it
was absolutely incredible and I cannot wait to see what
you do tonight here in Miami.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Hopefully tonight is uh, I mean tonight's the Lost Ones. Yeah,
tonight is going to be specible hopefully.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Say do you get extra energy because you know this
is it, this is the one that wraps it up
for the holidays.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Yeah, for sure, totally, one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah. I mean New York was exciting because it was
the first one for me, so you know, the first
one Lost One.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah, similar vibe for the Shore.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
A couple of weeks ago, you were in your hometown.
Twenty five thousand people came out to see you. What
does that feel like?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Insane? Obviously, it's like the craziest thing of old time.
It's funny though, because when there's so much pressure, I
feel like, to that extent, you're just always thinking about
everything that's like going wrong, you know, so like because
you just want to make it the most perfect thing possible.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Right, But I mean it was like crazy, still processing.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Nothing's going wrong, right, it's just all on your ahead.
Everything's gone, I guess. So yeah, yeah, because we watched
that show and it was perfect.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
When people start singing your lyrics back to you, you know, like,
oh my gosh, I cannot believe that I've really touched
as many people and they know all my music. I mean,
that still must give you goosebumps.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
And that's why like live stuff is the craziest stuff,
because it's like, there's nothing like seeing people react in
real time to music. You know, you can see like
stats online, you can see numbers. It doesn't really you know,
meet as much as seeing how music affects, you know,
the way somebody, you know, people get emotional and seeing
it on their face, seeing them jump and scream and
all that stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
It's cool. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
And at a Kid La Roy show, people are jumping
there screaming. You get them so hype. Anything you do
backstage to like pump up or like, is there like
a pushups tradition or.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Something before you go out there.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
I just drink lots of tea because my voice is
like pretty my voice can get pretty shaky onto it,
you know.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
In your tea.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
What do you have Do you have lemons you quia?

Speaker 3 (01:57):
No, definitely, yeah, there now usually just like some honey,
lots of honey, you know minooka honey usually okay.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
And that a special time. Never heard of that honey
Minuka honey. Yeah, I believe. I believe it's an Australian
uney okay, makes sense.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
As we near the end of twenty twenty four, man,
there's been some big wins. Your buddy Justin Bieber's now
a dad. You've had some huge wins. What are some
things to look back on twenty twenty four and just
kind of celebrate that you've been able to accomplish.

Speaker 3 (02:28):

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Everything about it.

Speaker 3 (02:32):

of fun making music, you know, so much fun making music.
Touring was really cool this year, you know, always traveling
is always like crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
You know, having a special lady might be good.
