We are here, sir, my man frame vibes, But don't

to remember. It's the last one, the best one, and
it's the coolest one. I remember, like being a kid,
Z was fun to like when you practice right right right,
it was, but z's like, oh good.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Like this, especially when I was practicing cursive, there's.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Always a Z that could just lose. Okay, I want
to ask you that. Okay, okay, do you know how
to do cursive? Yeah? Okay, because I feel like that's
a lost like it's a lost art these No, no

performed here last year? Yes, I did. You're from Chicago, man,
How does that feel? How did that feel? Your hometown?
(00:42):
The biggest festival in your hometown? What was that? What
was that whole entire day? Like it was everything? You know.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I went to high school and Fenwick an Oak Park,
and so whenever I would be getting ready to for
the summer and I would see the lineup of La
La Palos and my friendsould be like, oh my God
played White CARDI Oh my god, this is this artist
and seeing my name on that lineup, it was just so.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
In the like the color, the schedule that comes out
and then.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You get you get the email from blah blah BLUs
just saying, oh posted on this.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Day's like what it's happening? This is unreal. So that
meant everything that's cool. Well that was last year. Yeah,
lots happened between now and then. Yes, talk about that,
like how how have you grown? You got like new
music that you put out then too, which first of all,
take it easy, bank damn bake you so good like
I heard it. It was like it was an instant like yep,
(01:34):
good something good. I mean, I'll be honest, I try
to be diplomat. There's some songs you hear and you're like,
I'm gonna it's gonna take me another lisk kind of
like red It that almost like an instant one for me.
Oh wow, so so so the new music that's part
of it. Yes, the how is the reaction?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Bet it's been amazing, you know, dropping music for the
first time.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
There's there's always that.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Little like worry, like how do people feel I know
I got everybody in my family, my friends around me,
and meeting people introducing the music to them and they're like,
this is great, this is great. But then you put
it out, especially my first release, you know, there's that worry.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
But people have loved it.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I truly, like not even trying to flop for the
camera or any of that. People love the song and
it means a lot because that's what I do this
where I want to do music that helps people get
through tough situations. So for people to come to me
and say, hey, this song, it reminds me back and
this day when I was out with my girl or like,
it's moments like that why I love music.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
What made you so positive? Like what brought that into
your life? Because you seem like a very your energy
is very positive. So was it your parents? Was it
just who were your surrounded by or is it just you?
So obviously I have.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
To give it to my parents first and foremost, But
in high school I had a lot of growing pains.
I didn't feel I wasn't I didn't want any part
of the status quo or the drama, and I was
really being judged for being myself.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And talk about that, What do you mean, so why
were you judged?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So I was really into game anime. I wasn't all
the way into sports like that. And I was music.
I was doing music. I literally had like the braces.
I was in percussion band. I was that kid.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
So I had a lot of growing pains and growing up.
So I was in a very predominantly Caucasian neighborhood, right.
So being there and I talked proper kids that are
around me mostly Caucasian, they were like, why are you
talking so proper? And then kids that look like me
(03:32):
were like, why don't you talk like us? So I
couldn't find my place in high school, but music gave
me that safe place, that therapy, that outlet to really
just be like, Okay, put my headphones on, ignore all that,
keep going.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You're in your own lane. You're not this, You're not that,
You're you exactly right, exactly. I love that man. Okay,
So this is what we're seeing today, lallapalooza. We're talking
about Sizza. You said you loved her in high school.
Who are some other shout out? Some other artists kind
of like molded you as a music fan. Who's who's
like an inspiration Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So in high school it was Joji Cucko, Claro, Cashi, Yeah,
obviously you said, Sizza, Travis Scott, Drake, Kendrick. And then
on the more like alternative but pop side, I was
listening to the Neighborhood. I was listening to Brandon Ury
and Panic at the disco very heavily into Your.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Playlist is scattered. It's all over the place.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
And then I'll go to like sugar Land for country
or like Casey Musgrave. So I'm all over the place.
That that's what music is all about.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yes, it really is. I feel like we're getting away
from the let's put somebody, you know, let's pitchinghole somebody
because you're this type of artist or this type of music.
It's all blending together. I mean here in Kiss FM, right,
like we're playing country pop up right, and then we'll
play Kendrick. Like I just think that that's if it's good. Right,
people are like, right, it's the old boy, you're good.
Your stuff is good, thank you? Yeah, man, what do
(04:58):
you want to manifest? What do you want to happen
for you? Man? I just want to make music that
helps people.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
So whatever is along that path that helps people get
through those subsituations, just like I said that the same
way in high school.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Music helped me.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I want to do that for others. So whatever's on
that path, that's what I want to do.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You said you went to or maybe somebody was telling me,
was it Loyola? Yeah? I went to Loyola Edwater Sister
Sister Jean, Yeah, yeah, were you there for all that,
like that craziness that went down or he does that
before year after you?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I was the year before. No, no, I was a
year after. So the craziness of march Man. Yeah, and
then I was the freshman, so you just missed it,
but it's still crazy. It was the hype of it.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Everybody was like, oh my god, now like we got
Sister Gene, we got the team. It's gonna be big,
right right, that's fun. Well, how was your experience there?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So at Loyola it was crazy because I sort of
had a moment where man, coming from high school, it's okay,
fresh new slate, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I get there and.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It's like, oh, it's a little bit more of the same.
So I sort of went back into my shell a
little bit. But again, in college is when I was
really getting into my music heavily. I was producing. I
was going back and forth between here and LA working
with co sign, and so I was sort of living
like a double life between school and music, flying back
(06:17):
and forth. So again, music was pushing me through it all.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So this is it, man, you made the career decision.
All systems go. What do we got coming up here
in the near future, So.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Right now that you can tell us, yeah, yeah, So
right now, obviously take it easy, and then more music
is coming up, and then I'm working on getting together
a few like special collaborations I can't talk about, and
then obviously a tour following that, and then the EP
and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Man, dude, make Chicago proud.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
