you wanting to shake it?

is out and it sounds good. You produce all your
own music.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Most of I tried to most yeah, I tried to
make the beat.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
You write the song and you're getting booth knock it
all out? What is that? What? Where's that from? That
work ethic? That I'll just do it all myself.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I wanted to stop relying on waiting on other people
and like waiting for a producer to hit me back
and be like, yeah, let's get in the studio. I
just wanted to be able to make music twenty four seven.
So I was like, well, if I can learn to
do it myself, then there's no need to wait around
for somebody.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Your recording time is different. You'd like recording in the morning,
in the daytime. Yeah, night, you're clocked out, you're going here,
I'm going home. In fact, you've even like said note
a few sessions, yeah, because you don't want to deal
with working at night.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
No, my brain just doesn't function, or I'm sleeping. Like
people will hit me at like midnight and be like, yo,
do you want to come to the studio. I'm already
knocked Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You know, I hear everybody works at like two, three,
four of the morning.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, trust me, that's going to be an adjustment too.
You know, just send me the song, Just send me
to be.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
With all due respect, I like to cover the artwork.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Right to me, it's like that Kevin Hart meme that
that right there.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
You know, I'm here right, I could hear you.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's exactly what we were trying to go. Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
It was on the mood board, yo, bro, I'm right
here with all due respect for right, A lot of
people passed.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, yeah, now is this true?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
You got signed to a major deal and still had
to get a full time job signed to a major.
How tough was that because once you get signed, you think, yeo,
we on, let's go.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It was humbling, definitely humbling. It just made me work
ten times hard. I think, yeah, I just put that
drive in me. And then when they dropped me, I
was all right, now I can just really do what
I want to do. You know, it didn't it didn't
beat me down like it just it lifted me and
(03:05):
my team as well, Like we were just like article
now we really need to like get this moving, and
I just keep pushing and someone soon people are gonna
they're gonna take us in and put the respect on us.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So, yeah, were you writing music on your thirty minute
lunch breaks?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
No, I didn't have no working on Amazon. You don't
get a lunch break man, you just yeah. I was
a delivery driver, so you're just eating a sandwich, you're
driving to the next doorstep through.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, Yo, do you have any pictures of like packages
you dropped off your phones?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I like taking videos because I was delivering it like
central London, so like the proper bougie parts of London.
So I would like take videos of that people. Not
people's houses, but like like going to that gated communities
and be like, Yo, this is crazy. I remember going
into one one house and the gate open. There was
just this massive Buddhist statue in the middle of like
a waterfall and ship.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I was like, oh, yeah, yo's got to be me
one day's all right here.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'm telling you it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's inspirational though, right, And in those moments two, in
those humbling moments, you you have to search for inspiration,
and inspiration will find you as well. But in those
kind of moments, I believe you have to search for
the inspiration and find it and seek it and you know,
and appreciate it once once you see it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
With back of the Club talk to me, I feel
like that's the song that like a lot of people
are gravitating towards two with the project. Is there a
song that you were kind of like, I don't know
if people are really gonna mess with this and it
ends up being the one that like you're just like, okay, damn.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
WITHO you respect? Nah? I knew, yeah, Like yeah, no,
I knew. I was as long as I love every
song in it, and that's what that matters really. I
think Will to Be Oval, which is the last song
in there. I fell out of love with that for
a little while because I wrote that in like twenty
(05:04):
twenty two or twenty twenty three, I think it was,
And it was like I had I'd been sitting on
it for so long. I was like, oh, it's not
getting boring. But I was just like I don't know
about this anymore. But then my boy Levi he put
a baseline on it and it just brought it back
to life, and I was like, all right, cool, here
we go that that can this can stay on. So
I guess I was in two minds about that.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
But was it like more of like, Okay, I've heard
it so many times.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I think so, yeah, for sure, for sure, talk
you through it.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, what's the line that stands out to you that
everybody talks about. I got it going, I know it,
and you're lucky. I can't give you children.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, there you go, bar are you lucky?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I give you a kid? That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah that was That was a fun song to make, man,
that was super fun.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah. Good times when you write? Are you by yourself? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Most of the time.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, Why.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
There's no pressure. I don't have anybody looking at me
like times getting on you know, there's no judgment. You know,
it's just like I can just my brain can just
run through you without the pressure of other people around.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, nobodysucking bugging you. I totally get it.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Worse behavior Now, I had heard that you had to
sell it to make money to create it.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, we had to sell it in order after it
to mix and master and to put it on platforms.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So yeah, so how do you sell it? But it's
still yours us.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
My manager she's sitting over there, but yeah, yeah it's not.
She figured out for sure. She was sat down for
like three weeks building a website for me, figuring out
all the legal side of things and like all of that.
She did that all by herself. And yeah, one night
in now we sold it for and ended up raising
like I think it's like ten pounds or something that
(06:54):
something like that. So that gave us a little bit
of money in our pocket just to live and then
obviously to get it mixed the master too, and that
a distribution company reached out and was like, we'd love
to distribute this for you, and yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Just it was absolutely right and betting on yourself Jesus,
because what if you don't get it back, what if
you know and you were tied to it, that's crazy
and right in the videos crazy right sexy you guys
are kissing, but you both were sick in the video.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, I during the video show.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I was a little better by that day, but that
was but you know what, the day before that was
the London show and she was mad sick, like she
couldn't even and you knew that, she knew that, she
knew that. But she was better after she had like
doctors pull up to the show, like to the venue
before on the day of the show, and like I
had an ivy. I had an ivy that morning at
(07:46):
my house because I was super sick and she couldn't
even speak that day, like her voice had completely gone,
like she was super that. She was like, I think
we're gonna have to cancel the show. I was like,
the biggest show. We're not canclinging it.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Were doing as Garcia's Nightmares, our producer, Jeff Garcia's German.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Because he's been sick and the kids.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Okay, yeah, I don't just want to kiss my work.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But it'll get to us like, no, I'm not kissing you.
I'm not trying to get.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Sick to hear. Yeah, because like I gotta work and
I'm hourly, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's just like bro, like.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I'm out for one hourly.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Think about it.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
No, it's weird, I don't know, but yeah, like you guys,
I mean at the end of the day, it's all right,
right and we gotta do what we gotta.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Do to do we have to do.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
So did you get resick?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We were good by that day, to be honest. We
would just we hungover at that point. We had she
had the off the body after the London show and yeah,
we'll go a bit a bit crazy. So we were
definitely We're probably more hungover than us sick, to be honest.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
He soundly you look like you just I'm like, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You got healthysurance? No, no, they don't need it. Yeah
yeah yeah they Yeah, Well there you guys don't need help.
We're talking.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
See, why would you move out here?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
We're getting robbed for that.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's crazy, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Good luck to you, that's what you want. Yo, bite
me the intro. I mean, you know, you open up
the album the project talking crazy, right, you know you're
just kind of you know, you're kind of saying like, yo,
I'm here, right.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
What was the intent was that?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It exactly that? Yeah, exactly that I just liked me bro. Literally,
it was just I just wanted people to take me
in right from the jump and just sack show them
like if you slept on me before, you're not going
to sleep on me now, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
That was kind of the whole Like the substance of
the whole project was like I wanted to say arrogant
stuff and like just really took my stuff to just
be like I'm not moving from this position once I
get so yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Are you know there's a lot of weed shops out here.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You smoke just stopped smoking weed like five months ago.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You just stopped yeah, okay, ingrats, thank you. We smoked
every other day rooms rooms, Nah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I can't shooms. I vomit every time I take shooms. Yeah,
but then I'm fine after and it's great. But like
that first hour or two.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
It's working.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Horrible, horrible. I'm about to go to sleep and I'm like,
I can't go to sleep because I'm about to start
tripping bulls?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What made you? What made you want to stop smoking?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It was giving me anxiety really badly. And I've I've
been smoking since I was like, sorry, mom, since I
was like fourteen fifteen, and then I went to New York.
It was earlier on this year. I went to New York,
got some weed. I got loads of weed because I
I was smoking. I'm doing doing like seven eight splits
to day and exactly, and I just the anxiety just
(11:00):
took over me and I was like, this is not
feeling good. And then I was like, let me try
when I'm back in London because the American stuff is yeah,
you know, let me try when I'm back in London.
Maybe it's the American stuff smoked when I got home,
same thing, and I was like, nah, I'm just going
to put this down.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So yeah, man, good for you.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yes, it's hard, but.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's hard smoke out. I think you relapse.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I like to think that I could socially smoke again
at some point in life, but I don't want to
get like there was. It was to a point like
I couldn't sleep without smoking, I couldn't eat without smoking.
You know, it's like everything. I even if I was
if I was late here today, I would have still
rolled up outside and smoked on.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It was just like it was constant for me. So
I think, I, yeah, I'm glad that I stopped for it.
I just stoped smoking cigarettes as well, which is even better.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Because you're like you're flexing a lot of self control.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Externally, right, you're getting the studio tied dollars sound you're
gonna smoke?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I know, bro, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I know.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I was in the studio Who's having I was in
the studio of Poober not long ago in Miami and
he was just smoking, smoking, and I was That was
only like a few months after I had quit, and
I was like, oh, this is hard, this is really difficult.
So yeah, it is. It is difficult, for sure, But
I'm still here. I'm still good.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That's right. Now. We wish you luck, man, get it
for sure? You drink? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, yeah that we do. Yeah, talk to us about
do what I say?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
What you want to know?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
What's you know? It's you know. The title is bossy, right?
Are you a bossy kind of person?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I can be, Yeah, I can be.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
When you went into the studio to record, what was
that vibe for you?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
When I made that song, I wasn't feeling too creative.
I had not written a song for a little while.
Nothing was really sticking to the wall for me. And
then I had to beat and then I think I
must have definitely had like the first few lines and
I was like, oh, this is sounding kind of cool.
(13:20):
And then I finished it and I didn't really know
how to feel about it. Was like super slow when
I when I did the original, and then I sped
it up because I was like, it feels like it
needs to be something like a real boplow.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It was super slow, yeah, super slow. And then when
I yeah, after I finished it, I was like, I
don't know, like it's cool, but I didn't think anything
of it. I think it's but I always say because
it's like there's no harmonies on there, there's no like
real depth to it. It's just a lead vocal and
I'm just just talking my ship really, So I always
just felt like it's cool, but I don't know whether
(13:53):
it's really me. And then the more I listened to it,
I was like, no, this is this is a vibe
for sure. And my manager loved it too. She's the
boss of me.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
So you and your manager, you've been through it, right,
you know from the mud though, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It takes a team.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It takes you know, a certain person that's get out
which so your manager decided, no, we're putting this on.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
The pro absolutely, that's what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Trust each other, that's right. Yeah. What is it about
Domino's pizza in London? You don't like Dominos?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Every person we talked to from out there, it's like, yo,
Dominos is just like that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I mean, it's good pizza, but it's too like greasy
and yeah that's crazy yeah domin.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
No, it's all Domino slander from here.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
We've been three for three so far.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's like it's and you're like, no, you said that,
you said that panthers an actor that we have joy
like different actors, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
An actor also.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Said it, I'm more like a sour though pizza kind
of girl. Healthy pizza.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, I don't think that sounds good.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, the bread is better for you. You know, you're
not waking up the next day run into the toilet,
you know.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Leave us alone, man, that's all we make our food.
I know out here the diet is going to be
different to everything changes. But I think moving out here,
I think is somewhat of a challenge for you.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You see it as a challenge.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I think you're prepared for that, and I think as
an artist, you have to challenge yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You have to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You thinks your comfort and once you release a project
that's from the real work starts.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
We're working on B sides absolutely, Yeah, almost done with it. Yeah, yeah,
on my phone. You know, it's it's it's it's sounding good.
It's like the music is very classic R and B.
(16:12):
It's just I just love it. And I always go
forward with the thought process of it is if I
love it, then that's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So we'll stand on it. A song that you loved immediately.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, yeah. Why just again that just the cookiness of it.
The concept to it was just like if you if
you're going to be about me, then you know say
that stand on it literally background vocals crazy to be sick. Yeah,
(16:46):
just I just gravitated towards it straight away.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That's right. If you weren't doing music, what would you
be doing? Amazon?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
No, I don't know how much longer I would have
lasted them and your real I don't know. I was
a chef before that too, a patry chef. I used
to work with my dad in a restaurant and I
really enjoyed that. So maybe that maybe.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Kind of patience what you make now you're talking about language.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Well, it was like people always say to more so
you can bake, and I'm like, I can, but give
me a recipe, you know. Ah, yeah, give me a recipe.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
I'm not like I need to c k one great
British baker.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Come on. I would do that. I would really do that.
I would that. God would would challenge.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Like, do you think you could what week you could
like go up to.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I don't know if I would make it that far,
but I would give my I'll give it my best.

here with all due respect for right, A lot of
people passed.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, yeah, now is this true?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
You got signed to a major deal and still had
to get a full time job signed to a major.
How tough was that because once you get signed, you think, yeo,
we on, let's go.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It was humbling, definitely humbling. It just made me work
ten times hard. I think, yeah, I just put that
drive in me. And then when they dropped me, I
was all right, now I can just really do what
I want to do. You know, it didn't it didn't
beat me down like it just it lifted me and
(03:05):
my team as well, Like we were just like article
now we really need to like get this moving, and
I just keep pushing and someone soon people are gonna
they're gonna take us in and put the respect on us.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So, yeah, were you writing music on your thirty minute
lunch breaks?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
No, I didn't have no working on Amazon. You don't
get a lunch break man, you just yeah. I was
a delivery driver, so you're just eating a sandwich, you're
driving to the next doorstep through.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, Yo, do you have any pictures of like packages
you dropped off your phones?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I like taking videos because I was delivering it like
central London, so like the proper bougie parts of London.
So I would like take videos of that people. Not
people's houses, but like like going to that gated communities
and be like, Yo, this is crazy. I remember going
into one one house and the gate open. There was
just this massive Buddhist statue in the middle of like
a waterfall and ship.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I was like, oh, yeah, yo's got to be me
one day's all right here.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'm telling you it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's inspirational though, right, And in those moments two, in
those humbling moments, you you have to search for inspiration,
and inspiration will find you as well. But in those
kind of moments, I believe you have to search for
the inspiration and find it and seek it and you know,
and appreciate it once once you see it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
With back of the Club talk to me, I feel
like that's the song that like a lot of people
are gravitating towards two with the project. Is there a
song that you were kind of like, I don't know
if people are really gonna mess with this and it
ends up being the one that like you're just like, okay, damn.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
WITHO you respect? Nah? I knew, yeah, Like yeah, no,
I knew. I was as long as I love every
song in it, and that's what that matters really. I
think Will to Be Oval, which is the last song
in there. I fell out of love with that for
a little while because I wrote that in like twenty
(05:04):
twenty two or twenty twenty three, I think it was,
And it was like I had I'd been sitting on
it for so long. I was like, oh, it's not
getting boring. But I was just like I don't know
about this anymore. But then my boy Levi he put
a baseline on it and it just brought it back
to life, and I was like, all right, cool, here
we go that that can this can stay on. So
I guess I was in two minds about that.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
But was it like more of like, Okay, I've heard
it so many times.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I think so, yeah, for sure, for sure, talk
you through it.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, what's the line that stands out to you that
everybody talks about. I got it going, I know it,
and you're lucky. I can't give you children.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, there you go, bar are you lucky?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I give you a kid? That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah that was That was a fun song to make, man,
that was super fun.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah. Good times when you write? Are you by yourself? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Most of the time.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, Why.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
There's no pressure. I don't have anybody looking at me
like times getting on you know, there's no judgment. You know,
it's just like I can just my brain can just
run through you without the pressure of other people around.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, nobodysucking bugging you. I totally get it.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Worse behavior Now, I had heard that you had to
sell it to make money to create it.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, we had to sell it in order after it
to mix and master and to put it on platforms.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So yeah, so how do you sell it? But it's
still yours us.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
My manager she's sitting over there, but yeah, yeah it's not.
She figured out for sure. She was sat down for
like three weeks building a website for me, figuring out
all the legal side of things and like all of that.
She did that all by herself. And yeah, one night
in now we sold it for and ended up raising
like I think it's like ten pounds or something that
(06:54):
something like that. So that gave us a little bit
of money in our pocket just to live and then
obviously to get it mixed the master too, and that
a distribution company reached out and was like, we'd love
to distribute this for you, and yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Just it was absolutely right and betting on yourself Jesus,
because what if you don't get it back, what if
you know and you were tied to it, that's crazy
and right in the videos crazy right sexy you guys
are kissing, but you both were sick in the video.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, I during the video show.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I was a little better by that day, but that
was but you know what, the day before that was
the London show and she was mad sick, like she
couldn't even and you knew that, she knew that, she
knew that. But she was better after she had like
doctors pull up to the show, like to the venue
before on the day of the show, and like I
had an ivy. I had an ivy that morning at
(07:46):
my house because I was super sick and she couldn't
even speak that day, like her voice had completely gone,
like she was super that. She was like, I think
we're gonna have to cancel the show. I was like,
the biggest show. We're not canclinging it.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Were doing as Garcia's Nightmares, our producer, Jeff Garcia's German.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Because he's been sick and the kids.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Okay, yeah, I don't just want to kiss my work.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But it'll get to us like, no, I'm not kissing you.
I'm not trying to get.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Sick to hear. Yeah, because like I gotta work and
I'm hourly, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's just like bro, like.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I'm out for one hourly.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Think about it.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
No, it's weird, I don't know, but yeah, like you guys,
I mean at the end of the day, it's all right,
right and we gotta do what we gotta.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Do to do we have to do.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
So did you get resick?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We were good by that day, to be honest. We
would just we hungover at that point. We had she
had the off the body after the London show and yeah,
we'll go a bit a bit crazy. So we were
definitely We're probably more hungover than us sick, to be honest.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
He soundly you look like you just I'm like, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You got healthysurance? No, no, they don't need it. Yeah

We're talking.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
See, why would you move out here?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
We're getting robbed for that.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's crazy, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Good luck to you, that's what you want. Yo, bite
me the intro. I mean, you know, you open up
the album the project talking crazy, right, you know you're
just kind of you know, you're kind of saying like, yo,
I'm here, right.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
What was the intent was that?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It exactly that? Yeah, exactly that I just liked me bro. Literally,
it was just I just wanted people to take me
in right from the jump and just sack show them
like if you slept on me before, you're not going
to sleep on me now, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
That was kind of the whole Like the substance of
the whole project was like I wanted to say arrogant
stuff and like just really took my stuff to just
be like I'm not moving from this position once I
get so yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Are you know there's a lot of weed shops out here.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You smoke just stopped smoking weed like five months ago.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You just stopped yeah, okay, ingrats, thank you. We smoked
every other day rooms rooms, Nah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I can't shooms. I vomit every time I take shooms. Yeah,
but then I'm fine after and it's great. But like
that first hour or two.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
It's working.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Horrible, horrible. I'm about to go to sleep and I'm like,
I can't go to sleep because I'm about to start
tripping bulls?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What made you? What made you want to stop smoking?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It was giving me anxiety really badly. And I've I've
been smoking since I was like, sorry, mom, since I
was like fourteen fifteen, and then I went to New York.
It was earlier on this year. I went to New York,
got some weed. I got loads of weed because I
I was smoking. I'm doing doing like seven eight splits
to day and exactly, and I just the anxiety just
(11:00):
took over me and I was like, this is not
feeling good. And then I was like, let me try
when I'm back in London because the American stuff is yeah,
you know, let me try when I'm back in London.
Maybe it's the American stuff smoked when I got home,
same thing, and I was like, nah, I'm just going
to put this down.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So yeah, man, good for you.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yes, it's hard, but.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's hard smoke out. I think you relapse.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I like to think that I could socially smoke again
at some point in life, but I don't want to
get like there was. It was to a point like
I couldn't sleep without smoking, I couldn't eat without smoking.
You know, it's like everything. I even if I was
if I was late here today, I would have still
rolled up outside and smoked on.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It was just like it was constant for me. So
I think, I, yeah, I'm glad that I stopped for it.
I just stoped smoking cigarettes as well, which is even better.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Because you're like you're flexing a lot of self control.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Externally, right, you're getting the studio tied dollars sound you're
gonna smoke?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I know, bro, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I know.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I was in the studio Who's having I was in
the studio of Poober not long ago in Miami and
he was just smoking, smoking, and I was That was
only like a few months after I had quit, and
I was like, oh, this is hard, this is really difficult.
So yeah, it is. It is difficult, for sure, But
I'm still here. I'm still good.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That's right. Now. We wish you luck, man, get it
for sure? You drink? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, yeah that we do. Yeah, talk to us about
do what I say?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
What you want to know?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
What's you know? It's you know. The title is bossy, right?
Are you a bossy kind of person?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I can be, Yeah, I can be.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
When you went into the studio to record, what was
that vibe for you?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
When I made that song, I wasn't feeling too creative.
I had not written a song for a little while.
Nothing was really sticking to the wall for me. And
then I had to beat and then I think I
must have definitely had like the first few lines and
I was like, oh, this is sounding kind of cool.
(13:20):
And then I finished it and I didn't really know
how to feel about it. Was like super slow when
I when I did the original, and then I sped
it up because I was like, it feels like it
needs to be something like a real boplow.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It was super slow, yeah, super slow. And then when
I yeah, after I finished it, I was like, I
don't know, like it's cool, but I didn't think anything
of it. I think it's but I always say because
it's like there's no harmonies on there, there's no like
real depth to it. It's just a lead vocal and
I'm just just talking my ship really, So I always
just felt like it's cool, but I don't know whether
(13:53):
it's really me. And then the more I listened to it,
I was like, no, this is this is a vibe
for sure. And my manager loved it too. She's the
boss of me.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
So you and your manager, you've been through it, right,
you know from the mud though, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It takes a team.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It takes you know, a certain person that's get out
which so your manager decided, no, we're putting this on.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
The pro absolutely, that's what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Trust each other, that's right. Yeah. What is it about
Domino's pizza in London? You don't like Dominos?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Every person we talked to from out there, it's like, yo,
Dominos is just like that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I mean, it's good pizza, but it's too like greasy
and yeah that's crazy yeah domin.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
No, it's all Domino slander from here.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
We've been three for three so far.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's like it's and you're like, no, you said that,
you said that panthers an actor that we have joy
like different actors, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
An actor also.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Said it, I'm more like a sour though pizza kind
of girl. Healthy pizza.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, I don't think that sounds good.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, the bread is better for you. You know, you're
not waking up the next day run into the toilet,
you know.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Leave us alone, man, that's all we make our food.
I know out here the diet is going to be
different to everything changes. But I think moving out here,
I think is somewhat of a challenge for you.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You see it as a challenge.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I think you're prepared for that, and I think as
an artist, you have to challenge yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You have to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You thinks your comfort and once you release a project
that's from the real work starts.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
We're working on B sides absolutely, Yeah, almost done with it. Yeah, yeah,
on my phone. You know, it's it's it's it's sounding good.
It's like the music is very classic R and B.
(16:12):
It's just I just love it. And I always go
forward with the thought process of it is if I
love it, then that's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So we'll stand on it. A song that you loved immediately.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, yeah. Why just again that just the cookiness of it.
The concept to it was just like if you if
you're going to be about me, then you know say
that stand on it literally background vocals crazy to be sick. Yeah,
(16:46):
just I just gravitated towards it straight away.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That's right. If you weren't doing music, what would you
be doing? Amazon?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
No, I don't know how much longer I would have
lasted them and your real I don't know. I was
a chef before that too, a patry chef. I used
to work with my dad in a restaurant and I
really enjoyed that. So maybe that maybe.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Kind of patience what you make now you're talking about language.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Well, it was like people always say to more so
you can bake, and I'm like, I can, but give
me a recipe, you know. Ah, yeah, give me a recipe.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
I'm not like I need to c k one great
British baker.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Come on. I would do that. I would really do that.
I would that. God would would challenge.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Like, do you think you could what week you could
like go up to.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I don't know if I would make it that far,
but I would give my I'll give it my best.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
