CHLOE TRUJILLO RELEASES SECOND SINGLE “LIES” FROM HER INDEPENDENT NEW EP ‘REBIRTH’ SET FOR RELEASE IN EARLY 2026. LISTEN TO THE HAUNTING AND SONICALLY HEAVY MIDDLE-EASTERN TINGED TRACK.
Fresh off an Australian tour with her BLVD OF Eyes project and stops at Miami’s annual Art Basel and NY Fashion Week, singer and songwriter CHLOE TRUJILLO has released the second single “Lies” from her independent new solo EP REBIRTH out in early 2026. Listen to the haunting and sonically heavy Middle Eastern-tinged track HERE and stay tuned for a music video to follow later this month.
Chloe revealed in the interview that there will be a vidoe for "LIES" coming in February. Since Pipeman is in South Florida and surfs, we discussed also how Chloe painted surfboards for Art Basel in Miami and how it started with Billabong. We also talked about Reiki. And we discussed the album art which all made Pipeman mention that Chloe should do a tour with Heilung.
“The song is about the stories we tell ourselves, and the external falsehoods- together,” CHLOE says. “It has double meaning, the more superficial one, regarding external aspects, but more so a deeper meaning, about letting go of control, of limiting beliefs, of the ego trying to protect us in our comfort zone and we stay stuck. Learning to say goodbye to the old self. The internal self-deception—when you begin to shed layers, letting go of your old identities, you can start to see the real you. Growth requires stepping into the unknown and facing your fears. It's about spiritual transcendence.”
CHLOE adds, “At its core, the message is personal, but also universal, as I believe we all inflict ourselves with some kind of self-punishment. It's about saving ourselves for that and seeing our true self.”
“Lies” follows the album’s first single, the soulfully expressive metal song “As the Sky is Falling Down.” The track’s ominous guitar underscores the Paris-born and Los Angeles-based artist’s moving and haunting delivery. The delicate hum gives way to a trudging groove, and CHLOE proclaims, “As the sky is falling down, I stand tall, wreckage all around, but I won’t fall.” Her spoken word transfixes over the turbulent bridge. Listen to the song and watch the video, which includes dramatic scenes of CHLOE shot at the ocean.
Chloe Trujillo is an empathetic Renaissance woman through and through, the Paris-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, visual artist, designer, and consummate creative. Pipeman is in awe of Chloe's ability to be creative in so many areas especially writing songs and writing books.
The different vibes of Pipeman is calling Chloe's music Spiritual Metal and it is an all sensory experience that allows us to escape the world while immersing inside our heart soul self leading to a REBIRTH. REBIRTH evokes the sound of change out loud. You can hear the past being shed, the present being seized, and the future being manifested through her spirited conjurations of soulfully expressive metal.
REBIRTH throughout 2024 and 2025. Her songwriting process is ongoing and ever evolving. When choosing the songs for the new EP, she says, “I have a stash of hundreds of songs waiting to be properly recorded, so for this EP I selected four of those to finish. I already have another 6 or 7 in mind for my next release.” Following writing, she teamed up with producer Jake Carmona to bring it to life in the studio.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi, you love, done to censure, w for se Wow,
for you your what a world screams and dams. It
(00:31):
is pipe Man here on the Adventures Pipe Man W
four c Y Radio. And I'm excited about our next
guest because she is a true artist in every sense
of the word. So let's welcome to a show. Chloe Truehio,
how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm great? Thank you for that great intro.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh but it is like, you know, it's funny. You
don't find many people like you that have so many
diverse creative a Bill. It's like a lot of times
people focus on one area and they're kind of okay
maybe in other areas, but man, you just seem to
be like the creator of all creatives.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
When did it all start for you? Like, when did
you start getting into art and creativity and music and
all of it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I think I always was. I mean, for ever since
I can remember, this was my outlet. I always say
I was a very shy child, and so it through
my artwork and secretly writing songs, not really sharing, but
(01:44):
like it was just allowing me to express myself in
a safe space. And I don't know, I just it
was always there. I was always addicted to create, you know,
I was all I always had ideas coming into my
brain and I had to just let them out somehow.
(02:07):
So it's yeah, and if I let them, it was
like that overflowing just I remember. You know, there's always
moments in life where you don't have like you know,
like in school, for example, I had like homework to do.
I had the pressure of my dad, like wanted me
to be the best in my class of everything and
(02:29):
all that, and it let little room for creativity. And
that always made me like I had all this stuff
like like I'm not in my stomach like I had.
I have all these things I need to you know,
let out. And same thing happens when I first had
my kids, you know, I took care of them, and
(02:49):
it's a twenty four to seven job. It's like NonStop job.
And like when they would take naps instead of me
sleeping or cleaning the you know, the house or whatever,
I would be like I have to paint something, I
have to write something, I have to So it's it's
always been like that. And it's actually almost like a
(03:13):
what do you I would like a self care like
it's it's kind of a healing tool. If I don't
let it out, then it's gonna build up and I
don't feel that great.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So yeah, that's so true too, because I am a
huge believer that like any kind of art and getting
into that zone of it is like the best therapy
of or the best escape from everything, and you can
just like you know, like just dive into it and
forget about everything else. And funny, my dad he used
(03:49):
to you know, he was an artist that would go
on these you know, different you know moment because you know,
and he would like sometimes for three days just all
he would do was paint for three days. Like you
didn't want to get near him. He might paint you,
you know that much in the zone. But that's what
(04:12):
was healing, you know. And like I look at his
art and I knew him very well, so I could
see his personality in his art, both the light and
the darkness. M yeah, yeah, that is how you get out,
you know, no matter what it is.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So now you have this new EP coming out and
you have this new song that came in December. Yeah,
my first question is, Okay, we have the album cover
art behind here. Did you do the album cover or
the song for the single, the art for the single yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
We yeah, So I mean for each of them, like
the you know, the first single, which was as the
Sky's Falling Down. Actually the art was taken from the
video shoot of that same song, and this, Yeah, I
chose this image even though it was not specifically first
(05:12):
taken for this song, but I had the image of
like at first, you know, when I wrote the song,
I had the visuals of a cloaked person with the
hands open to the sky and it was almost like
releasing like I felt like, you know, I had the
(05:35):
vision of releasing like old pieces like pieces of paper
with writings on it that were like representing the old
beliefs and all of that, and being like my first
vision was being barefoot on the ground and letting that
healing energy coming, you know, and being released into the
(06:01):
and and then I found this image that was taken
from a totally different project that was never used, and
I was like, well, this is very similar to what
I want to convey as far as the message behind
that song. And so that's that's how, yeah, that's how
(06:22):
I use this image.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That's pretty cool. And it's funny how you say that too,
because when I first saw the image and listen to
the song at the same time. My first thought was, man,
this is really badass because it's it's it like combines
two parts of my personality, got the metal part and
the spiritual part. And then I thought of and you
(06:45):
might think this is wild that this just came into
my head, but I'm like, she should go on tour
with High Loan. Yeah, I love it, right, yeah, it'll
be like perfect.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That's song I would love to I I, uh for
the Savage Land project. I don't know if you heard
of that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh yeah, I'm well familiar with it. Yeah. Yes, And.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
We did a video and I did it. Yeah. And
so that's when I met Hi Loom and I didn't
know much about them, and then I was like so
curious and I watch it. I'm like, oh my god,
this is so cool, so great. So I appreciate you
saying that because I love I love.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Them and I yeah, yeah, I mean it's wild too.
Same for me, like I never really heard of them
until Okay. So I go on tour and I do
coverage of music festivals here in the US, UK, Europe,
and I was at Hellfest. I had an interview set
up with with them, but I didn't know who they
were at first, and like, my role is, well, I
(07:48):
have to go see their set because you know, I
can't promote their music if I'm not being there and
being the fan, you know. And I was like I
couldn't believe first, like how many people were just from
this from Hellfest, one of the biggest festivals in the world,
were just gravitating to them. And then I just sat
(08:12):
up there up front and I was like, in awe.
I think it was like one of the first time
thousands of concerts in my life. I was just like
I was like in a trance. Yeah, well it was
so cool.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
No, it was. It was amazing. And I I the
same thing. I didn't know much about them. And then
when we shot that video and we did a little
ceremony and I got to to actually give happy to
one of the guys, and I'm like, oh my god,
I've received happy. I don't know if you know what
(08:46):
it is. It's like the pure tobacco. And then yeah,
somebody knows, and I've received it, so I know what
it feels like. But I've never given it to somebody anybody.
And we did this whole video clip. Uh, and it's
it's just yeah, it was. It was amazing, and that's
(09:06):
how I discovered. I was like, who's Hilong? And then
I watched a lot of their videos with their gear
and full on like metal meets spiritual Like you said,
like like totally ceremony on the stage at a metal festival.
It's it's uh, it was so cool.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
So yeah, so I thought of that too, because like
your music matches that style of course. But then when
I saw this art, I was like, wow that And
then you were talking about wearing the cloak and as
you were talking before, and I just confirmed it even more.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You know, yeah, because all my lyrics and and and
you know, has that the spiritual connectation, So you have
like the first you know, everything has deeper meanings. You
can take the superficial meaning, but then it has like
a deeper underlying meaning to whatever degree you want to
(10:05):
understand the song. So for me, yeah, it's a very
spiritual process, even the way I write. So yeah, so
I appreciate your saying that because thank you for recognizing this.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You're welcome and you do walk your talk because you
are a healer and you do reiki, and I mean,
like see, I think it just goes all hand in
hand and that's what's cool about it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've always been fascinated with what
we don't see, you know, like the you know, energy,
what you know, we can feel and sense things, but
some things cannot be explained in the physical world so much,
no doubt. So it's like, yeah, so that always fascinated me.
(10:54):
And you know, I mean when I was super young,
I was always wondering what happened. I know a lot
of us wonder like what happens? Like is there a
life after death? Is there this? What? What are ghosts?
You know? What are spirits?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
What are this? And that?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And then and then you know, it gets super curious
very young, and read a lot of books about you know,
all kinds of different uh uh, what do you call it?
Like belief systems, you know, not just religions, but also
different belief systems and seeing and trying to digest it
(11:32):
all and trying to make up my own mind and
trying to experience things and and trying to get clues
of what really is going on.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So yeah, nice, And you know what I have to
say too, because I've been looking the whole time we're talking.
But that piece of art behind you with the eye
with the blue eye, that is freaking amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I think it's so good that it's hard to even
concentrate on the interview at times because it like kind
of draws you in. And that's what good art is
and stuff like that, you know. Wow. So so the
new EP, Rebirth, Uh, tell us what that's all about,
because I love that too. Like I'm also a motivational speaker,
(12:17):
so I love the positive message in the song lives
and you know, just all together and rebirth like it
says it all yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And and and you know, I called it rebirth also
for that reason. And I felt like I came to
a time, so I released. I actually removed my old
catalog from streaming platforms. I'm going to re release, remaster
some of the songs and re release them as we go.
But I felt like there's there's this new energy. I
(12:52):
don't know how to call it, like this this, and
that's why it was a rebirth. And I felt like
I want to to share more of my truth and
it could be universal truths too, because there's a lot
of similarity, Like we're all connected, right, so, and I
choose to do this without censoring myself. So that's how
(13:16):
I felt like it's a rebirth, just letting it out
without trying to be somebody I'm not and not trying
to necessarily please everybody, like not like just be true, yeah,
like true. So this is how why I chose the
(13:36):
to call it rebirth, because it's just like a new
birth and now like peeling all the layers and letting
it all shown, and yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's the only way we move forward, right, like, as
long as we keep holding on to all those past
limiting beliefs and past trauma and everything else. You know,
it's the only way to move on exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And it's but it's not an easy journey, no, you
know it's uh yeah, it's true. We got to just
go through and then you know there's ups and downs
and like I talk in one of the songs too,
like you know this is.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Life, yeah totally. And like in the single lies, I mean,
you hit the nail on the head in my opinion,
because it's like we do sit there and we tell
these lies to ourselves, and I think it inhibits our
healing because if you're not truthful with yourself, forget anybody else.
(14:39):
But you have to be truthful with yourself in order
to move forward and to heal.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah. Absolutely, and it's not easy because yours of programming
and it's you know, like I said, it's like peeling
layer by layer.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And you know, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
So I also want to say, Okay, so I'm in
South Florida and I'm totally bummed because I was actually
thinking of going to art based on Miami this year
and then I had something else come up and I
saw one of your I think it was one of
your Instagram reels. Yeah, you were shipping off a surfboard. Yeah, Miami,
(15:23):
and that see I also surf. So that's badass because
I like when I go to all the art shows.
That's my favorite part of the art show are the
surfboards that are painted amazing. So I want to hear
about your surfboard art.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I you know, I started painting on surfboards many many
years ago through Billabong Billabong Europe. They commissioned me to
paint on a couple boards and for inside their store,
you know, on display, and I never thought of it, like, okay,
(16:01):
I know I have to surf, you know, in my family,
everybody serfs. I mean, my husband and my son are
the ones that are going all the time in the
cold California waters.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
That's where I started back in La Now I go
to Costa Rica where it's always warm.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, I learned. I actually learned to surf when I
was seventeen in the Canary Islands live. You know, I'm
from Paris, France, and it was like warm water, clear water, perfect, nobody.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Out, you know, nice.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So it was it was nice. But I always find
like there's a very similarity with like surfing, because I
felt like it's a very spiritual experience too. You're out,
you have to be in the present moment, you're out
in the ocean. You're you know, you're just you and
your board, and it's it's there's a magical thing about it.
(16:57):
And and uh, I got really inspired after the Billa
bone thing. I'm like, I love to paint on this.
So now I kind of reclaim like all the old
surfboards that either come from my husband or my son
that they don't use, or or people that toss away surfboard,
I reclaim them and I, you know, I just prep
(17:20):
them and paint on them. So I actually have a
couple of I'm gonna use some more surf art for
this hotel in La uh and then I'm gonna I'm
gonna be part of another surfboard show in May in
Malibu at the Tracy Park Gallery. That's gonna be cool.
(17:43):
So i have a lot of new boards to paint,
so I'm so excited. I have some that are actually
laying outside in the sun to get the walks off,
you know, right, I kind of clean them up, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But yeah, well that's like, okay, So one of my
best friends he passed away last year, but he custom
designed me a surfboard with my logo on it, and
you know, like my podcast logo has me in a wave. Okay,
but he's like a famous nose rider, designer, pro surfing
(18:17):
champion from the sixties. He's pretty well known in that
La area, Bob Purvy. And like, I've been afraid to
even put it in the water because I don't want
to ruin it because it's like and now, especially since
he's passed away, I'm like, wow again, I can't. I
can't use that board.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I know most people because my boards are also surfable,
but most people that buy my boards are just hanging
them in their homes, you know, right. But I tested,
like the first board not for Billabon Billa bon. I
trusted them and it was for display. But the first
board I made that I was sailing, you know, in
(18:58):
the gallery. I tested it. I went out and made
sure just in case the people wanted to take it
out that it was okay, and it was well, you know,
and it was all fine.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So yeah, So I have to tell you a funny
story since you mentioned your son. Okay, So I interviewed
Tye at one of the wimmer festivals. Yeah, and it
was when he cut his hair short. Oh yeah, And
so I asked him during the interview, I kid, you
not like, what made you cut your hair? Like most
(19:31):
kids at that age, they're like And he said, You're
gonna love his answer. He was rebelling because everybody is
family has long hair. I thought that was the best
answer ever. So funny. So what else do you want
to say or talk about or let the listeners know
(19:54):
not only about the new EP, but and the new single,
your art also your Boulevard device project.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, well, you know, I'm actually in the process of
launching a new website, which is still gonna be chlod
Trahillo dot Com, but I'm redesigning it so I'll have
a lot of the news in there. I'll be updated.
I'm very active on social media chlod for hel for
(20:27):
all news. But yeah, like I said, I have a
lot of art shows coming up for twenty twenty six.
The video, the music video for Lives actually is going
to come out at the end of February, so yeah,
on my YouTube sex and we had a blast shooting it.
(20:48):
We shot it like right before Christmas, I think it
was December twenty second, and it's gonna have some cool
animation and some cool stuff in it, so I'm super excited.
And then the full EP will be released early March.
And I've been writing a lot of new songs and
(21:08):
I'm actually excited about them because I want to do
like a full album after this with Boulevard Device. We
just toured Australia in this past November, so that's going
to be. Yeah, it's going to be also new music
videos on that and as well what else. I started
(21:32):
the process last year of writing a book, so I'm
excited about that. But that's going to be a long
that's a long project, you know. Oh yeah, a couple
of notebooks full of my writings. But you know, it's
it's really cool to process everything and kind of put
words in a different way, not in songs.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
But in a it's it's totally different. So that'll remind
me of another funny story. Okay, So my head engineer
here at the stage. He passed away a couple of
years ago, but he was a musician and I came
to him with this song one time that I wrote.
And I'm a book author, like I have published book,
(22:14):
you know, and that's the type of writer I am.
So I wrote this song and I said, I need
your help. I need you to turn this into a song. Okay,
let's collaborate together with him and his girlfriend. They were
a country rock duo. And I'm like, I need your
(22:34):
help turn this into an actual song. And he laughed
at me because he looked at him was like, the
hell is this a book? And then, as you know,
it's so hard to like when you have objective outsiders,
because he was saying, can we take this out? I'm like, no,
that's important. Like everything he was asking take out to
try to shorten it to a song. No, that's important
(22:56):
that needs to stay in there. I mean we finally
ended up doing it. I just acquiesced, okay, do whatever
you want, and we made the song. But it is
so different is my point to write a book that
So now I'm even more impressed because like the fact
that you'll write a song and write a book, it
is a process. Yeah, and you said how long? You know,
(23:19):
It's funny the book I published. I've written several books,
but I've only published one. And the one I published
it took me six months to write the first half
half of the book because I stopped. And you know
how that goes. It's like you just stop and it's
like and then it took me like one day to
do the second half. Wow, because as soon as it
(23:42):
came back to me that I was right, I just
did it. And you know how that's how it goes
with anything with art too.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know my dad when he would paint stuff, it
never stayed the scene, like he was constantly reforming it
and looking at it and finding something. Yeah, do you
do that too?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's like I I you know, when you're so deep
in any type of work, I feel you're so deep
into it. Yeah, I like to step away to kind
of at it with either you know, look at it
with fresh eyes or listen to it with fresh ears,
or you know, whatever you're creating. But yeah, it's it's yeah,
it's wild.

four c Y Radio. And I'm excited about our next

of the word. So let's welcome to a show. Chloe Truehio,
how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm great? Thank you for that great intro.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh but it is like, you know, it's funny. You
don't find many people like you that have so many
diverse creative a Bill. It's like a lot of times
people focus on one area and they're kind of okay
maybe in other areas, but man, you just seem to
be like the creator of all creatives.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
When did it all start for you? Like, when did
you start getting into art and creativity and music and
all of it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I think I always was. I mean, for ever since
I can remember, this was my outlet. I always say
I was a very shy child, and so it through
my artwork and secretly writing songs, not really sharing, but
(01:44):
like it was just allowing me to express myself in
a safe space. And I don't know, I just it
was always there. I was always addicted to create, you know,
I was all I always had ideas coming into my
brain and I had to just let them out somehow.
(02:07):
So it's yeah, and if I let them, it was
like that overflowing just I remember. You know, there's always
moments in life where you don't have like you know,
like in school, for example, I had like homework to do.
I had the pressure of my dad, like wanted me
to be the best in my class of everything and
(02:29):
all that, and it let little room for creativity. And
that always made me like I had all this stuff
like like I'm not in my stomach like I had.
I have all these things I need to you know,
let out. And same thing happens when I first had
my kids, you know, I took care of them, and
(02:49):
it's a twenty four to seven job. It's like NonStop job.
And like when they would take naps instead of me
sleeping or cleaning the you know, the house or whatever,
I would be like I have to paint something, I
have to write something, I have to So it's it's
always been like that. And it's actually almost like a
(03:13):
what do you I would like a self care like
it's it's kind of a healing tool. If I don't
let it out, then it's gonna build up and I
don't feel that great.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So yeah, that's so true too, because I am a
huge believer that like any kind of art and getting
into that zone of it is like the best therapy
of or the best escape from everything, and you can
just like you know, like just dive into it and
forget about everything else. And funny, my dad he used
(03:49):
to you know, he was an artist that would go
on these you know, different you know moment because you know,
and he would like sometimes for three days just all
he would do was paint for three days. Like you
didn't want to get near him. He might paint you,
you know that much in the zone. But that's what
(04:12):
was healing, you know. And like I look at his
art and I knew him very well, so I could
see his personality in his art, both the light and
the darkness. M yeah, yeah, that is how you get out,
you know, no matter what it is.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So now you have this new EP coming out and
you have this new song that came in December. Yeah,
my first question is, Okay, we have the album cover
art behind here. Did you do the album cover or
the song for the single, the art for the single yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
We yeah, So I mean for each of them, like
the you know, the first single, which was as the
Sky's Falling Down. Actually the art was taken from the
video shoot of that same song, and this, Yeah, I
chose this image even though it was not specifically first
(05:12):
taken for this song, but I had the image of
like at first, you know, when I wrote the song,
I had the visuals of a cloaked person with the
hands open to the sky and it was almost like
releasing like I felt like, you know, I had the
(05:35):
vision of releasing like old pieces like pieces of paper
with writings on it that were like representing the old
beliefs and all of that, and being like my first
vision was being barefoot on the ground and letting that
healing energy coming, you know, and being released into the
(06:01):
and and then I found this image that was taken
from a totally different project that was never used, and
I was like, well, this is very similar to what
I want to convey as far as the message behind
that song. And so that's that's how, yeah, that's how
(06:22):
I use this image.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That's pretty cool. And it's funny how you say that too,
because when I first saw the image and listen to
the song at the same time. My first thought was, man,
this is really badass because it's it's it like combines
two parts of my personality, got the metal part and
the spiritual part. And then I thought of and you
(06:45):
might think this is wild that this just came into
my head, but I'm like, she should go on tour
with High Loan. Yeah, I love it, right, yeah, it'll
be like perfect.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That's song I would love to I I, uh for
the Savage Land project. I don't know if you heard
of that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh yeah, I'm well familiar with it. Yeah. Yes, And.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
We did a video and I did it. Yeah. And
so that's when I met Hi Loom and I didn't
know much about them, and then I was like so
curious and I watch it. I'm like, oh my god,
this is so cool, so great. So I appreciate you
saying that because I love I love.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Them and I yeah, yeah, I mean it's wild too.
Same for me, like I never really heard of them
until Okay. So I go on tour and I do
coverage of music festivals here in the US, UK, Europe,
and I was at Hellfest. I had an interview set
up with with them, but I didn't know who they
were at first, and like, my role is, well, I
(07:48):
have to go see their set because you know, I
can't promote their music if I'm not being there and
being the fan, you know. And I was like I
couldn't believe first, like how many people were just from
this from Hellfest, one of the biggest festivals in the world,
were just gravitating to them. And then I just sat
(08:12):
up there up front and I was like, in awe.
I think it was like one of the first time
thousands of concerts in my life. I was just like
I was like in a trance. Yeah, well it was
so cool.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
No, it was. It was amazing. And I I the
same thing. I didn't know much about them. And then
when we shot that video and we did a little
ceremony and I got to to actually give happy to
one of the guys, and I'm like, oh my god,
I've received happy. I don't know if you know what
(08:46):
it is. It's like the pure tobacco. And then yeah,
somebody knows, and I've received it, so I know what
it feels like. But I've never given it to somebody anybody.
And we did this whole video clip. Uh, and it's
it's just yeah, it was. It was amazing, and that's
(09:06):
how I discovered. I was like, who's Hilong? And then
I watched a lot of their videos with their gear
and full on like metal meets spiritual Like you said,
like like totally ceremony on the stage at a metal festival.
It's it's uh, it was so cool.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
So yeah, so I thought of that too, because like
your music matches that style of course. But then when
I saw this art, I was like, wow that And
then you were talking about wearing the cloak and as
you were talking before, and I just confirmed it even more.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You know, yeah, because all my lyrics and and and
you know, has that the spiritual connectation, So you have
like the first you know, everything has deeper meanings. You
can take the superficial meaning, but then it has like
a deeper underlying meaning to whatever degree you want to
(10:05):
understand the song. So for me, yeah, it's a very
spiritual process, even the way I write. So yeah, so
I appreciate your saying that because thank you for recognizing this.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You're welcome and you do walk your talk because you
are a healer and you do reiki, and I mean,
like see, I think it just goes all hand in
hand and that's what's cool about it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've always been fascinated with what
we don't see, you know, like the you know, energy,
what you know, we can feel and sense things, but
some things cannot be explained in the physical world so much,
no doubt. So it's like, yeah, so that always fascinated me.
(10:54):
And you know, I mean when I was super young,
I was always wondering what happened. I know a lot
of us wonder like what happens? Like is there a
life after death? Is there this? What? What are ghosts?
You know? What are spirits?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
What are this? And that?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And then and then you know, it gets super curious
very young, and read a lot of books about you know,
all kinds of different uh uh, what do you call it?
Like belief systems, you know, not just religions, but also
different belief systems and seeing and trying to digest it
(11:32):
all and trying to make up my own mind and
trying to experience things and and trying to get clues
of what really is going on.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So yeah, nice, And you know what I have to
say too, because I've been looking the whole time we're talking.
But that piece of art behind you with the eye
with the blue eye, that is freaking amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I think it's so good that it's hard to even
concentrate on the interview at times because it like kind
of draws you in. And that's what good art is
and stuff like that, you know. Wow. So so the
new EP, Rebirth, Uh, tell us what that's all about,
because I love that too. Like I'm also a motivational speaker,
(12:17):
so I love the positive message in the song lives
and you know, just all together and rebirth like it
says it all yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And and and you know, I called it rebirth also
for that reason. And I felt like I came to
a time, so I released. I actually removed my old
catalog from streaming platforms. I'm going to re release, remaster
some of the songs and re release them as we go.
But I felt like there's there's this new energy. I
(12:52):
don't know how to call it, like this this, and
that's why it was a rebirth. And I felt like
I want to to share more of my truth and
it could be universal truths too, because there's a lot
of similarity, Like we're all connected, right, so, and I
choose to do this without censoring myself. So that's how
(13:16):
I felt like it's a rebirth, just letting it out
without trying to be somebody I'm not and not trying
to necessarily please everybody, like not like just be true, yeah,
like true. So this is how why I chose the
(13:36):
to call it rebirth, because it's just like a new
birth and now like peeling all the layers and letting
it all shown, and yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's the only way we move forward, right, like, as
long as we keep holding on to all those past
limiting beliefs and past trauma and everything else. You know,
it's the only way to move on exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And it's but it's not an easy journey, no, you
know it's uh yeah, it's true. We got to just
go through and then you know there's ups and downs
and like I talk in one of the songs too,
like you know this is.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Life, yeah totally. And like in the single lies, I mean,
you hit the nail on the head in my opinion,
because it's like we do sit there and we tell
these lies to ourselves, and I think it inhibits our
healing because if you're not truthful with yourself, forget anybody else.
(14:39):
But you have to be truthful with yourself in order
to move forward and to heal.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah. Absolutely, and it's not easy because yours of programming
and it's you know, like I said, it's like peeling
layer by layer.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And you know, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
So I also want to say, Okay, so I'm in
South Florida and I'm totally bummed because I was actually
thinking of going to art based on Miami this year
and then I had something else come up and I
saw one of your I think it was one of
your Instagram reels. Yeah, you were shipping off a surfboard. Yeah, Miami,
(15:23):
and that see I also surf. So that's badass because
I like when I go to all the art shows.
That's my favorite part of the art show are the
surfboards that are painted amazing. So I want to hear
about your surfboard art.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I you know, I started painting on surfboards many many
years ago through Billabong Billabong Europe. They commissioned me to
paint on a couple boards and for inside their store,
you know, on display, and I never thought of it, like, okay,
(16:01):
I know I have to surf, you know, in my family,
everybody serfs. I mean, my husband and my son are
the ones that are going all the time in the
cold California waters.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
That's where I started back in La Now I go
to Costa Rica where it's always warm.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, I learned. I actually learned to surf when I
was seventeen in the Canary Islands live. You know, I'm
from Paris, France, and it was like warm water, clear water, perfect, nobody.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Out, you know, nice.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So it was it was nice. But I always find
like there's a very similarity with like surfing, because I
felt like it's a very spiritual experience too. You're out,
you have to be in the present moment, you're out
in the ocean. You're you know, you're just you and
your board, and it's it's there's a magical thing about it.
(16:57):
And and uh, I got really inspired after the Billa
bone thing. I'm like, I love to paint on this.
So now I kind of reclaim like all the old
surfboards that either come from my husband or my son
that they don't use, or or people that toss away surfboard,
I reclaim them and I, you know, I just prep
(17:20):
them and paint on them. So I actually have a
couple of I'm gonna use some more surf art for
this hotel in La uh and then I'm gonna I'm
gonna be part of another surfboard show in May in
Malibu at the Tracy Park Gallery. That's gonna be cool.
(17:43):
So i have a lot of new boards to paint,
so I'm so excited. I have some that are actually
laying outside in the sun to get the walks off,
you know, right, I kind of clean them up, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But yeah, well that's like, okay, So one of my
best friends he passed away last year, but he custom
designed me a surfboard with my logo on it, and
you know, like my podcast logo has me in a wave. Okay,
but he's like a famous nose rider, designer, pro surfing
(18:17):
champion from the sixties. He's pretty well known in that
La area, Bob Purvy. And like, I've been afraid to
even put it in the water because I don't want
to ruin it because it's like and now, especially since
he's passed away, I'm like, wow again, I can't. I
can't use that board.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I know most people because my boards are also surfable,
but most people that buy my boards are just hanging
them in their homes, you know, right. But I tested,
like the first board not for Billabon Billa bon. I
trusted them and it was for display. But the first
board I made that I was sailing, you know, in
(18:58):
the gallery. I tested it. I went out and made
sure just in case the people wanted to take it
out that it was okay, and it was well, you know,
and it was all fine.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So yeah, So I have to tell you a funny
story since you mentioned your son. Okay, So I interviewed
Tye at one of the wimmer festivals. Yeah, and it
was when he cut his hair short. Oh yeah, And
so I asked him during the interview, I kid, you
not like, what made you cut your hair? Like most
(19:31):
kids at that age, they're like And he said, You're
gonna love his answer. He was rebelling because everybody is
family has long hair. I thought that was the best
answer ever. So funny. So what else do you want
to say or talk about or let the listeners know
(19:54):
not only about the new EP, but and the new single,
your art also your Boulevard device project.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, well, you know, I'm actually in the process of
launching a new website, which is still gonna be chlod
Trahillo dot Com, but I'm redesigning it so I'll have
a lot of the news in there. I'll be updated.
I'm very active on social media chlod for hel for
(20:27):
all news. But yeah, like I said, I have a
lot of art shows coming up for twenty twenty six.
The video, the music video for Lives actually is going
to come out at the end of February, so yeah,
on my YouTube sex and we had a blast shooting it.
(20:48):
We shot it like right before Christmas, I think it
was December twenty second, and it's gonna have some cool
animation and some cool stuff in it, so I'm super excited.
And then the full EP will be released early March.
And I've been writing a lot of new songs and
(21:08):
I'm actually excited about them because I want to do
like a full album after this with Boulevard Device. We
just toured Australia in this past November, so that's going
to be. Yeah, it's going to be also new music
videos on that and as well what else. I started
(21:32):
the process last year of writing a book, so I'm
excited about that. But that's going to be a long
that's a long project, you know. Oh yeah, a couple
of notebooks full of my writings. But you know, it's
it's really cool to process everything and kind of put
words in a different way, not in songs.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
But in a it's it's totally different. So that'll remind
me of another funny story. Okay, So my head engineer
here at the stage. He passed away a couple of
years ago, but he was a musician and I came
to him with this song one time that I wrote.
And I'm a book author, like I have published book,
(22:14):
you know, and that's the type of writer I am.
So I wrote this song and I said, I need
your help. I need you to turn this into a song. Okay,
let's collaborate together with him and his girlfriend. They were
a country rock duo. And I'm like, I need your
(22:34):
help turn this into an actual song. And he laughed
at me because he looked at him was like, the
hell is this a book? And then, as you know,
it's so hard to like when you have objective outsiders,
because he was saying, can we take this out? I'm like, no,
that's important. Like everything he was asking take out to
try to shorten it to a song. No, that's important
(22:56):
that needs to stay in there. I mean we finally
ended up doing it. I just acquiesced, okay, do whatever
you want, and we made the song. But it is
so different is my point to write a book that
So now I'm even more impressed because like the fact
that you'll write a song and write a book, it
is a process. Yeah, and you said how long? You know,
(23:19):
It's funny the book I published. I've written several books,
but I've only published one. And the one I published
it took me six months to write the first half
half of the book because I stopped. And you know
how that goes. It's like you just stop and it's
like and then it took me like one day to
do the second half. Wow, because as soon as it
(23:42):
came back to me that I was right, I just
did it. And you know how that's how it goes
with anything with art too.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know my dad when he would paint stuff, it
never stayed the scene, like he was constantly reforming it
and looking at it and finding something. Yeah, do you
do that too?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's like I I you know, when you're so deep
in any type of work, I feel you're so deep
into it. Yeah, I like to step away to kind
of at it with either you know, look at it
with fresh eyes or listen to it with fresh ears,
or you know, whatever you're creating. But yeah, it's it's yeah,
it's wild.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Right, thank you? Yeah, exactly. So tell everybody how they
can reach you on not only your website, but all
your socials and looked out for all the great stuff
you have coming out in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, so most of it is easy. It's chlotriho c
h l o e t r u j I l
l o so chluy tr heo dot com. For my website,
we're gonna launch. It's the old one is still up,
but it's gonna be all updated. So it's it's gonna
be launched within the next month. We have some little
(24:59):
tweaks to add. And then Instagram kluytr he I think
there's still a Facebook YouTube. All that is should be
kluychr you so you can find me there. I'm pretty
active on Instagram. I keep it up so you hear
about all the news about all my art shows, music concerts,
(25:24):

that's the rule. I like it well. Thanks a lot
