Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Duncan Music Lounge. My name is Garret
from Elvis Duran and the Z one hundred Morning Show.
I'm excited because this room right here not only introduces
you to music, but it gets you excited for being
on the ground floor of amazing artists that have come
through these doors, including Heather Lrose. Welcome to the Duncan
Music Lounge.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi Garrett, thanks so much for having me here today.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Well, so I know you currently live in la but
family from New York. Yes, what's it like to be
in this building in New York on a radio station
you've probably heard from time to time? What's that like
for you right now?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I grew up listening to Z one hundred. I remember
like jamming out to Katie. My mom is in the audience.
I remember like jamming out to like Katy Perry and
Taylor and all my influences growing up listening to Z
one hundred in the car, like tapping on the steering wheel,
dashboard and everything. And this is just such a beautiful
full circle moment.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
All right, So let's talk about just an array of things,
including your song abilities to I mean, being the youngest
winner of a songwriting contest. I want to know what
ghost writing is. So let's start start with the contest.
What made you go end your contest? First off? And
(01:15):
obviously you did very well, but was that your original
passion of writing music?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I love storytelling. I began writing songs at a really
young age, like in first grade. I remember any creative
writing opportunity that we had, I would use it as
a way to write a song. So I remember in
first grade standing up in front of the class just
like singing a short little poem about my out my
window and all the trees out the window and everything,
(01:42):
and that's where it all got started. But with the
ghost writing and everything, Oh my goodness. So I've been
working on that and that's how I won the Songwriter
Hall of Fame award and.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
The youngest man.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, yeah, is it kind of cooler like you won
by the way, you're the youngest to.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Ever do it.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You know, it's very empowering, It really is, because I
think a lot of times for young women in the industry,
you're taught to pull yourself back, You're taught to be
a little more quiet in the room. And while I
do think listening is key and being able to pull
those stories out of the artists that you're writing with
is so important. It's really nice to be able to
take a stand on the lyrics that you like, the
melodies that you create, and being able to push those
(02:21):
forward and being like, I think this is a really
good idea. Let's keep going with it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
How many no's do you think you have heard before? Like,
have you heard more nose than yes? Is up until recently?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I mean, I feel like it's a I learned in
music school the rule of ten percent. You will get
a yes ten percent of the time, and it's the
ninety percent nos and you kind of just have to
muscle through those ninety percent, but the ten percent makes
it all so much worth it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, let's say you were talking about just creative writing
growing up, so I would only assume that one of
your favorite characters growing up with Cinderella.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh my goodness, yes, uh just I really think Cinderella
is a very underrated Disney princess. So she was the
parting girl. She didn't go out looking for the prince.
She was just like, I've worked so hard, I just
want one break. Let me put on a nice dress
go out with the girls. And she was shut down,
and then the fairy Godmother came in, spruced her up
(03:17):
a little bit, went out, had an amazing night, lost
some articles of clothing along the way, and still ended
up with the prince in the end.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And you know what, it also speaks to getting one shot.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It does, it really does, and making that worth it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
But with it what made you lean into the Cinderella
story in creating your EP.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So, I've always kind of resonated with that. I grew
up in a middle class family in like Westchester, New York,
and I went to a music school with a lot
of very rich kids, and I was working at the
school part time while attending, and so it just kind
of felt like that duality of deserving to be there
(03:57):
and knowing that you're meant to be there, but then
also having to hustle to stay there. And I just
kind of really resonated with Cinderella and then moving out
to La same exact thing, same exact thing. I had
a TikTok go viral about my part time nannying job
and then going to the Grammys right after, and it
blew up, which was really.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Really cool for you nannying for was it anybody in
the music industry.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Oh no, and they also prefer like I have to
blur out the children's face in the video and everything.
So no, not even in the industry whatsoever. However, Scooter
Braun was his soccer coach.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's like, really, six degrees, it's a separation right there.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, So obviously your.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
EP is loosely based off of your story of making
it out there too, So what about the other people
that you're singing about too, Like, obviously you're not turning
them into Prince Charming per Se or or the evil Stepsisters.
But do those people in those songs realize that you're
(04:59):
it's a self titled type music about your story.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yes, Actually the boy who Loser Behavior is about who.
We're gonna play the song in a second.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He actually commented when I first posted the song the
day it came out, he was like, you know, I
was going to be really mad about this, but actually
this song slaps.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You know the response you weren't expecting.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, but you know what what a pleasant what a.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Way to take it too, because you could be a
jerk and just be like I hate you and how
could you do this to me? And blah, blah blah,
but you take the a nice guy approach. It kind
of like works in your favorite it works in.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Your favorite in always too not a total frog. So
I know that you have.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You've played with The Killers, the nineteen seventy five Rachel Platton,
who I believe is going to be here very like
you guys are going to be like swapping places like
in a matter of like.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
A day or two whatever. Oh that's exciting those type
of artists.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
What advice do they give you or do you soak
in or pull from them that you can apply to yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I think one thing that I learned from The Killer,
Brandon Flowers is such a sweetheart to whomever he meets
and everything, and I think having the kindness show through
every aspect of what you're doing is so crucial. I
think what I learned from the nineteen seventy five is
being able to have a good time on the road
but also killing it at the show. And with Rachel,
(06:20):
I learned how your songs can mean something deeper and
how you can use your lyrics to uplift one another.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And that's just from observing too, So it's definitely so
do you start applying that to things. As you write
and sit down, you're like, Oh, Brandon wouldn't do it
this way, or Brandon would do it this way, or.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Rachel might add a little this or that to it.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Definitely, I really like taking in just the people who
helped foster my creativity and being able to apply also
like some of the sounds that they used too. I
was just working on a few songs for the EP
and I pulled some like songs that are sounds that
are like reminiscent of The Killers, definitely some nineteen seventy five,
a little bit of Rachel in there. So it's really
cool to see how your influences really shape what you're
(07:03):
currently working on and everything.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
And with that too, in the world of social media,
the you know everybody is is a judge, per se on,
you know, a singing contest. But where what are some
of the the more creative playlists you have seen your
music show up on.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Ooh, fans come up with great names.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I've seen Oh my gosh, oh some of.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Them are really inappropriate, though. Okay, I think one of
my favorite ones, mom plug your ears.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
She can't, she's holding the phone with two hands. Someone
plug her Mom's ears. Please yeah, mom knows.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, there was one that Slutty Girls Cry Too. I
thought was pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
What else do you.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Get notifications like on your phone be like, oh, your
song has been added to Slutty Girl Girls Cry to playlist,
Like like how does that work?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Like how do you come across that?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You know, you have to look on your Spotify for
artists or Apple for artists or YouTube artists apps just
to see like where it comes up. But that would
be a great feature for anybody at those companies listening
to actually notify the artists about like fans adding those
songs to.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Their play probably just lost a billion dollars, But it's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And with that too, where you know you're out and
about scrolling on the internet, have you come across videos
where your song's in a like a weird montage someone
shopping and like falling over Like, have you come across
anything where your music's featured on someone else's content?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I have.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
There's there's been a few different clips sometimes of like
my songs being featured in different things. But I'm there's
this one tik Talk girl who's pretty famous. She is
she has a makeup company. Oh man, I'm spacing on
her name, but she used one of my songs for
her makeup company, and that in itself got the sound
(08:55):
use like fifteen thousand times.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's crazy how it works now you know where it's
just all it takes is a couple of songs and
an upload somewhere in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And it was one of the Damelios, the Dmilio who
has the makeup company, all of.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Them including Dead Yes, they all do. They all make
them all right.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So before we let you go and get into the
music that we're all here for, so since we are
in the Dunkin music lounge too, we get very deep
in thought provoking with a Dunkin question too.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
So are you a latte coffee?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay? I'm a coffee spritz girl coffee sprits. Yes. So
it's half coffee, half tonic water. And especially at Duncan,
I do love their blueberry coffee black and then you
add in a little bit of tonic. It's kind of
like an express.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I would trademark that first one before Duncan steals it
because I don't. I don't even think they have a
coffee Sprits. But with that, having the opportunity to drink
your coffee sprits over a blueberry. Who would you sit
down and just you know, shoot the ish with and
kind of pick their brain? You know, living day Uh,
you know, fiction, non fiction, cartoon?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Whoever? Like, who would you sit down and just like
talk about anything in life not just music?
Speaker 6 (10:09):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I think I would have to say Elvis Presley because
my grandmother, my Olma, moved to the United States to
meet him.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Really yeah, like like to like hope to marry him.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I believe.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
So.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think that was Oma's goal.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Was that Alma's goal?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So, yes, that was almost goal.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Well, so you're so, you're.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So would you ask Elvis be like, hey, do you
think you're my grandfather?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Or am I your granddaughter? Or did you date my grandmother?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Well, you know, there's a little mystery there, and that's
all I'm able to say.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So it's one of those things we'll show, we'll see
in a movie or on Netflix special uh in the
coming years.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
But so did she ever get to meet Elvis?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I believe So. I believe Omah got to meet me Elvis.
And her house is littered with like paraphernalia too. She's
definitely a stand I.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Kind of wish this was like a real life situation.
So we can get to the bottom of this with
Elvis and your grandmother. But that's interesting right there too.
But do you think you got your music inspiration from grandma?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Definitely. Both of my grandmothers, both on my mother's side
and my father's side, very much encouraged me to sing.
I remember my grandmother on my father's side. She would
take care of me on Thursdays and I remember sitting
on her hip and she would sing a song to me,
and I'd tell her again again again, and it would
be about three to five times, and then I would
(11:37):
just sing the whole song back to her and have
it memorize.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Who did that grandma come to the US to try
to date you know what?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
She was born here. She's a bronx lady.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Gladys imagine she was trying to go after Elvis too,
and oh my goodness, that would have been crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
We gotta we gotta sit down for a family story.
One we do. We definitely do. Hell Little Rose, Everyone,
all right, so you're gonna get into some music right now.
What are you hitting us with? First?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi Garrett, thanks so much for having me here today.
Speaker 1 (00:23):

You know, it's very empowering, It really is, because I

Well, let's say you were talking about just creative writing

your favorite characters growing up with Cinderella.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh my goodness, yes, uh just I really think Cinderella

She was just like, I've worked so hard, I just

And you know what, it also speaks to getting one shot.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It does, it really does, and making that worth it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
But with it what made you lean into the Cinderella

Speaker 2 (03:36):
So, I've always kind of resonated with that. I grew

also having to hustle to stay there. And I just
kind of really resonated with Cinderella and then moving out
to La same exact thing, same exact thing. I had
a TikTok go viral about my part time nannying job
and then going to the Grammys right after, and it
blew up, which was really.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Really cool for you nannying for was it anybody in
the music industry.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Oh no, and they also prefer like I have to
blur out the children's face in the video and everything.
So no, not even in the industry whatsoever. However, Scooter
Braun was his soccer coach.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's like, really, six degrees, it's a separation right there.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, So obviously your.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
EP is loosely based off of your story of making
it out there too, So what about the other people
that you're singing about too, Like, obviously you're not turning
them into Prince Charming per Se or or the evil Stepsisters.
But do those people in those songs realize that you're
(04:59):
it's a self titled type music about your story.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yes, Actually the boy who Loser Behavior is about who.
We're gonna play the song in a second.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He actually commented when I first posted the song the
day it came out, he was like, you know, I
was going to be really mad about this, but actually
this song slaps.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You know the response you weren't expecting.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, but you know what what a pleasant what a.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Way to take it too, because you could be a
jerk and just be like I hate you and how
could you do this to me? And blah, blah blah,
but you take the a nice guy approach. It kind
of like works in your favorite it works in.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Your favorite in always too not a total frog. So
I know that you have.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You've played with The Killers, the nineteen seventy five Rachel Platton,
who I believe is going to be here very like
you guys are going to be like swapping places like
in a matter of like.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
A day or two whatever. Oh that's exciting those type
of artists.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
What advice do they give you or do you soak
in or pull from them that you can apply to yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I think one thing that I learned from The Killer,
Brandon Flowers is such a sweetheart to whomever he meets
and everything, and I think having the kindness show through
every aspect of what you're doing is so crucial. I
think what I learned from the nineteen seventy five is
being able to have a good time on the road
but also killing it at the show. And with Rachel,
(06:20):
I learned how your songs can mean something deeper and
how you can use your lyrics to uplift one another.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And that's just from observing too, So it's definitely so
do you start applying that to things. As you write
and sit down, you're like, Oh, Brandon wouldn't do it
this way, or Brandon would do it this way, or.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Rachel might add a little this or that to it.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Definitely, I really like taking in just the people who
helped foster my creativity and being able to apply also
like some of the sounds that they used too. I
was just working on a few songs for the EP
and I pulled some like songs that are sounds that
are like reminiscent of The Killers, definitely some nineteen seventy five,
a little bit of Rachel in there. So it's really
cool to see how your influences really shape what you're
(07:03):
currently working on and everything.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
And with that too, in the world of social media,
the you know everybody is is a judge, per se on,
you know, a singing contest. But where what are some
of the the more creative playlists you have seen your
music show up on.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Ooh, fans come up with great names.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I've seen Oh my gosh, oh some of.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Them are really inappropriate, though. Okay, I think one of
my favorite ones, mom plug your ears.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
She can't, she's holding the phone with two hands. Someone
plug her Mom's ears. Please yeah, mom knows.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, there was one that Slutty Girls Cry Too. I
thought was pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
What else do you.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Get notifications like on your phone be like, oh, your
song has been added to Slutty Girl Girls Cry to playlist,
Like like how does that work?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Like how do you come across that?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You know, you have to look on your Spotify for
artists or Apple for artists or YouTube artists apps just
to see like where it comes up. But that would
be a great feature for anybody at those companies listening
to actually notify the artists about like fans adding those
songs to.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Their play probably just lost a billion dollars, But it's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And with that too, where you know you're out and
about scrolling on the internet, have you come across videos
where your song's in a like a weird montage someone
shopping and like falling over Like, have you come across
anything where your music's featured on someone else's content?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I have.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
There's there's been a few different clips sometimes of like
my songs being featured in different things. But I'm there's
this one tik Talk girl who's pretty famous. She is
she has a makeup company. Oh man, I'm spacing on
her name, but she used one of my songs for
her makeup company, and that in itself got the sound
(08:55):
use like fifteen thousand times.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's crazy how it works now you know where it's
just all it takes is a couple of songs and
an upload somewhere in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And it was one of the Damelios, the Dmilio who
has the makeup company, all of.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Them including Dead Yes, they all do. They all make
them all right.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So before we let you go and get into the
music that we're all here for, so since we are
in the Dunkin music lounge too, we get very deep
in thought provoking with a Dunkin question too.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
So are you a latte coffee?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay? I'm a coffee spritz girl coffee sprits. Yes. So
it's half coffee, half tonic water. And especially at Duncan,
I do love their blueberry coffee black and then you
add in a little bit of tonic. It's kind of
like an express.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I would trademark that first one before Duncan steals it
because I don't. I don't even think they have a
coffee Sprits. But with that, having the opportunity to drink
your coffee sprits over a blueberry. Who would you sit
down and just you know, shoot the ish with and
kind of pick their brain? You know, living day Uh,
you know, fiction, non fiction, cartoon?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Whoever? Like, who would you sit down and just like
talk about anything in life not just music?
Speaker 6 (10:09):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I think I would have to say Elvis Presley because
my grandmother, my Olma, moved to the United States to
meet him.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Really yeah, like like to like hope to marry him.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I believe.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
So.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think that was Oma's goal.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Was that Alma's goal?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So, yes, that was almost goal.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Well, so you're so, you're.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So would you ask Elvis be like, hey, do you
think you're my grandfather?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Or am I your granddaughter? Or did you date my grandmother?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Well, you know, there's a little mystery there, and that's
all I'm able to say.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So it's one of those things we'll show, we'll see
in a movie or on Netflix special uh in the
coming years.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
But so did she ever get to meet Elvis?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I believe So. I believe Omah got to meet me Elvis.
And her house is littered with like paraphernalia too. She's
definitely a stand I.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Kind of wish this was like a real life situation.
So we can get to the bottom of this with
Elvis and your grandmother. But that's interesting right there too.
But do you think you got your music inspiration from grandma?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Definitely. Both of my grandmothers, both on my mother's side
and my father's side, very much encouraged me to sing.
I remember my grandmother on my father's side. She would
take care of me on Thursdays and I remember sitting
on her hip and she would sing a song to me,
and I'd tell her again again again, and it would
be about three to five times, and then I would
(11:37):
just sing the whole song back to her and have
it memorize.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Who did that grandma come to the US to try
to date you know what?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
She was born here. She's a bronx lady.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Gladys imagine she was trying to go after Elvis too,
and oh my goodness, that would have been crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
We gotta we gotta sit down for a family story.
One we do. We definitely do. Hell Little Rose, Everyone,
all right, so you're gonna get into some music right now.
What are you hitting us with? First?
