Thank you so much for being a part of the

And Now welcome this week's special guest guests.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Welcome to show, Quentin, how are you.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I'm all right, Torontos. I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Thank you. We're happy to have you. Man, So you
got kind of a cool story. When did the bug
bite you? When did you start making music?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Man?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Man, you know, I started in church, as most R
and B and soul artists do. Maybe when I was
a kid, maybe twelve ten, twelve years old, I started
playing drums and I've always sang, and then just kind of.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Continue to move forward.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
I started learning oregon and keys as a teenager, and
then I went to the University of North Texas learned
guitar and bass and learn about songwriting and jazz and
all of that good stuff. And then, you know, fast
forward today here I am.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
That's cool, yeah, and I totally get it. What was
the first tune you learned?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Ooh?
Speaker 6 (02:01):
The first song that I learned on piano, first R
and B song was Riven in the Sky by Stevie
Wonder Okay, and man.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It's just such a beautiful song. It was.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
You know, I heard several people performing that, you know,
on different shows and stuff, and I just say, I
would like to learn this.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So that was one of the first songs that I learned.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, Stevie Wonders awesome, man, he's got some great tunes.
So did you have any family that was in the
music business or relatives that inspired you in any way?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah? Absolutely. My sister was kind of a hip hop,
kind of soul artist, you know, in the vein of
Mary J.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Blige in the nineties, and you know, she kind of
did arounds and recorded some music. And I just remember saying,
I would never ever want to become an artist or
never want to be someone in the front. Rather, I'd
just rather be a musician or maybe just a producer,
based on what I saw her go through.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
But man, obviously that change here I am.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, okay, And tell us about your instrument. Do you
play an instrument? Which one?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Absolutely? I play a few different instruments. I started off
on drums. I moved over to keys Ham and Oregon.
You know, I love playing piano and find the roads
hamm and organ. In college, I learned guitar and bass,
and so those are my main four. I dabbled in
some other stuff, some percussion. I play a little bit
of flute, but those are the main four.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So if you had to pick old vinyl, a track tape, cassette,
CD or something modern. You know what would you pick?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Dad? It's tough, you know what. It's so funny.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
As we speak, I'm sitting in front of a cassette
boom box. I just bought it off an Amazon for
a video shoot, and I just got all this nostalgia
that came to me. I remember back in the day,
how we had the double cassette that you can record
on one.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Side and then you know, play on the other side.
So say cassette for just to come.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
From my era, you know, in at the era, in
at the end of a track, at the end of vinyl,
right when cassette was booming.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
So I hear you, man, I'm an eighties child. I
love cassettes. Yeah, absolutely, you know what I remember. I
remember getting my first I don't remember it was it
Sony walkman, but it was a cassette thing. And then
they had the CD thing and you try to run
in it and it would skip all the time. You
try to hold your arm steady, and it just like
(04:28):
I think back to now the iPhone where you can
run and do whatever you want. It's not going to
keep skipping.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
That it is crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Yeah, I remember those days, the CD skipping all of that, man, Yeah,
that is a trip. That is a trip. Yet now
you can do it all today wireless. You know you
can keep it going.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So are you influenced by any musicians from yesterday or
from nowadays? Anyone you want to share with us that
or alive?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Well, we just lost one of my favorite idols. Rested peace,
mister Michael D. Angelo Archer. I love the Angelo because
he gave you a mixture of you know, Prince James Brown,
you got the funk, and you got the soul and
rock and those guys, but then you also had that
sexy R and B style from Curtis Mayfield and also.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Al Green and the Ozley Brothers all mixed in one.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
So the Angel is kind of like my idol of
all of my idols mixed in one, you know, because
like I said, love, I love the Ozzli Brothers, I
love Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gay, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes. I'm
a seventies R and B guy, you know. I also
love of course Win Frankie Beverly Amazed. And then if
we move up a little bit in me condition. You know,
(05:42):
I just love the sound of real instrmentation and live instimitation.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I love all music, but.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
It's just something about just those live instruments from the seventies,
you know, and that just really make me feel good,
you know.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So those those those are just a pitch of idols.
I can go on and on. Also want mentioned PJ Morton.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
I love PJ Morton, Gino Young Van Hunt from today.
You know, Leon Thomas is making some noise brand new artists.
You know, I was actually looking at concert dates from
him before we jumped on here.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I'd love to see him. But yeah, those are my guys.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
So when you get started songwriting, what do you do? Lyrics? First, music, first, melody,
drum groove with's your passion.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Usually it's a melody or the lyrical concept that comes first.
I tend to, you know, I get a melody, or
I could be jamming on the instrument and I say
I like that loop, and I'll record that and that
I can come up with a melody or concept later.
But usually, like I said, it's the melody of a
song or the lyrical concept or just you know, like
(06:46):
a little instrumental loop that I liked that I might
have just stumbled upon, and.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I'll pull out my phone recorder and record it and
then develop it later.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I got it's just a story about one of the songs.
You know, we're going to talk about a little bit
later on that developed. But anyways, that's gonna save that.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
If you had to do it all over again, be honest,
would you still choose this career?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I would have chose it sooner, Okay, I would have
told it sooner, you know.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I just you know, I had a lot of resources
in college.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Even before college.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
I grew up in Austin, Texas, which is technically, you know,
the music capital of the world, they say, so a
lot of resources have become an original.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Musician there, you know.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
And then as I got in college, man, a lot
of my you know appears went on the wing Grammys.
I went to school with Snarky Puppy. I went to
school with R. C. Williams and the Gritz, who was
also Erica Vardou's music director. I was in school with
Sean Martin rest In Peace, who was Kirk Franklin's music
director as well as one of Snarky Puppies top guys
(07:51):
you know U and T, and then just the list
goes on and just how many resources I had, and
if I was just a little bit more for the
loan I started. My story is that I was an athlete.
I went to U and T to play football, but
I knew I still love music, and I knew that
YOU and T University of North Texas was a music
school as well. But I just I just love sports.
(08:12):
I love football. I was a running back, and I
just that was just what I knew, you know, And
you know, I pushed hard. I got to play a
year or two in college, and then I just.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Said, you know what, I want to do. This music
stuff I'm in I'll never forget.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
In the year two thousand and three, I went to
a juneteen concert in Denton, Texas, that's where U and
T is, and I just saw a fellow peer by
the name of Carmen Rogers singing her original music and
with another one of my favorite singers, you know, who's
playing bass for her, mister Gordon Pope, who's like a
big brother to me. I saw them singing and playing.
(08:45):
I was like, I want to do that. I want
to write my own songs. So that's when I made
the decision to say I'm going to shoot for this career.
I left football, you know, changed my major, you know,
to a little bit something that I can focus. I
wasn't a music major, but I did something that would
help me have more time.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
To focus on a career in music. And that was it, man.
You know, so I'd say I wish I would have
jumped on it sooner.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I'm going to try really hard not to talk my
Chicago Bears because I don't want to get distracted. Man,
But go Bears, shout up there you go. So one
of the questions I love to ask a bunch of
people is about scams and being ripped off in this business.
Oh my, any advice to listeners anything you might have
fallen for to help warn one another?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Absolutely the best thing that I can say, Just a
few things. First of as, if it sounds too good
to be true, it may be, So just do as
much research on whoever you're trying to deal with and
whatever kind of service you've getten Then also, you know,
just ask yourself, at your level of artistry, do you
think this can really really benefit you? And you just
(09:58):
kind of have to be honest with yourself times and
I'd also say just, you know, just make sure that
you know, we have a lot.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Of pay to do this, pay to do that.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
And I heard something that was from an Instagram set
out to Bacon Bitch, who's an Instagram influencer that that
does a lot of music tips, and he said something
that was really great that I could just kind of
throw everything in a nutshell with let the music industry
come to you.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
There. There aren't really any shortcuts.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I mean, you can go viral, you can shake the
right hand, and that can definitely give you a big boost,
but no amount of money or no you know, sometimes
not a single person can paying a single person. Let
me say that paying a single person will give you
that shortcut that you think you need. Now, that industry
will come to you if you're doing good stuff, if
(10:46):
you shake the right hand, they'll be paying you to
come in and do what you need to do. You know,
whether that's they'll say, hey, let me please sign you,
let me please have you for this gig, let me
please you do this, or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
You know.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
And so especially want to make sure that you're more
so on the receiving in and the money than spending
money for services, because a lot of times when you're popular, man,
people will almost work for you for free or because
they want to be attached to breaking you as an artist,
because they know you're really talented, and so you just
don't want to be taking advantage of I see a
lot of artists that are very hungry, and a lot
(11:21):
of people in this industry will take advantage of that hunger.
Oh yeah, you know, I can get you this many streams,
I can get you this many followers, I can I
can get your song on the radio. I can get
you if you pay me five thousand dollars, you can
open up for brutal, you know, crazy stuff, and so,
you know, just be careful with that type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Be careful with spending.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
I'm not talking about spending money and investing in advertisements,
investing in content, investing in things that you you know,
can have for yourself, investing in your production and different
things like that.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I'm talking about, you know.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Investing in a quick fix or a quicker upper, like, oh,
let me get you these streams, let me get you
these follows, let me get you signed, Let me book
these gigs for you if you give me five hundred dollars.
You know, don't don't get involved in that, you know.
So that'd be my tip for the younger generation. You know,
you know, it's it's it's it's tough, but you know
and thank.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
You, yes, tell us about this song. We're gonna hear
what inspired this one?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Okay, so we got kiss your lips? You know, it's interesting.
One one of my favorite songs off the record. I
tend to record my songs remotely with different musicians. H
The songs features Grammy Award winning Bobby Sparks, who plays
with Snarky Puppy, played with D'Angelo, Nelly Furtado and Kirk
Franklin on keyboards. Uh Teyron Lockett on drums, who's played
(12:46):
with Prince Cory Henry Starky Puppy, and then also Erica Baidu.
Uncle Phlip of the Mac Band was on bass and uh,
I think that's that. I can remember mister Kevin K. P.
Pittman mixing mastered this. One of my college buddies. We
started together over twenty years ago and we're still rocking
(13:07):
and rolling. He plays keys in the band and he
also mixed a mess. But anyways, this song was very interesting.
I woke up in the middle of the night and
had this melody and chords.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
In my head and lyrics all at once. You know.
That's that's a really rare thing.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
And I was immediate, like I have to get out
of my sleep at six in the morning, and.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I had to get out of the bed and go
to my.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Piano and pull out my recorder and recorder and I
still have that recording today, you know. And so I said, Okay,
I got that down. I'm gonna develop this and build
this later. And as time went by, I developed the
song into what it is today, and I can proudly
say that it is a great interpretation.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Of what I had in that dream. And I kind
of I kind of like to lead things raw.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
I don't want to doctor them up or overproduce them
to the point to where it's totally different song. And
so I just stuck with the hook that I had, baby,
when I kiss your lips, you know, And that's all
I said on the hook. I just had some vocals
and synthesizers kind of going in and around. I wanted
to create this intoxicating feel of like, oh, I'm speechless, I.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Don't even you know when I kissed the list. This
is what I feel. Here's just some music, you know,
and I just wanted.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
To create that intoxicating, you know, intense feeling that I
feel when that you feel when you do kiss somebody
that you're really into and that you love, you know.
And that's that's how that song came about, man, and
it slowly became one of my favorites. When I first
finished off, Okay, it's cool, you know, And but man,
we added some different effects on the drums and the
(14:46):
bass to give it that more I don't know, kind
of wh feeling like you were just you know, some
type of drug or something like a flanger feel on
the drums and put a phaser on the base to
give it that seventies you know, psychedelic soul sound, you know,
along with sex sexyists and stack some pianos like Isaac
(15:08):
Hayes and the Gap Band, and you know, and then
here we are today, kissing real awesome.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
All right, man, tell you what. Let's take a listen.
We'll come back and talk a few more minutes. Okay,
I'll dood alright, everybody check this out.
Speaker 4 (15:20):

Oh you got it, man, I'm telling you that that's

Speaker 4 (20:00):
All right.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
So if you had an ideal superpower that you know,
some genie and the bottle could grant to you, what
would it be.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I would tell Report, I would tell Report.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
I would definitely tell the port that that that's you know,
I was looking at flights. Man, if I can just
tell a port, we can get, we can skip t SA,
we can get where we need to go.

in thirty seconds. You know that type of thing, you know,
so that that I think that's that. That's the that
I would love.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So on social media, who's your favorite person to follow?
And you can't say me? Of course?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Oh man, oh man, I have some.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Body I know you want to but you can't.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, of course, man, man, I don't know. You don't
have so many. Okay, here here's one just off the
top of my head. I love to laugh. I love
a good laugh. I love jokes.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Kevin Stage has been one of my favorite people to follow.
I saw him in concert or what they're going to
call it. He's a comedian and one of the best
comedy shows that I've ever been to.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
And he's just consistent. I can always get a good laugh.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
I actually had a good laugh for him before we
jumped on Here as well. He's doing a new kind
of like a therapist series on TV and it's just
so funny, you know. And then he just does random
just improve critiques and different things online and he's just
one of the funniest people. And I just feel like
if we knew each other, we would just get a laugh.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
We relate. He has used many cuss words as I do.
But you know, I think we'll still relate on other
other ends. But Kevi on stage, comedian Kevin Stage.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Any cool road trips you've been on the last year
you want to admit to here.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Ooh, road trips, road trips, let me think road trip.
Haven't done many road trips, you know. I've done some tours,
you know, and uh say this, I'll say this.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I'll give you something. I have done a road trip,
not in the United States. I did a road trip
in Russia.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
So I performed in ro Don and because of the
political situation, you cannot fly into right now, so I
took like a nine hour road trip.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Man. And those Russian roads are different.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
You get to see some of the countryside, you get
to stop and some of the buildings, get something to eat.
Not many Americans, let alone African Americans there, so when
they see you in the countryside, it's like Lebron James
walked in.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
So, I mean, you know, I've done many road trips,
you know, in Russia, but that was you know, rather
interesting because you know, like I said that, because of
the situation right now and not many Americans there, and
uh you know.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
That that's you know, that's that's my road trip.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah. Okay. If your music was a cocktail, what would
it be? Describe it in detail?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
For us, it would be an old fashion awesome. It's sweet,
but it also is it also has a bite to it.
You know, we can get funky. We can get out
there too. You know, we have kids for this, but
then we also have Don't Forget Me, which is funky.
We can get up and dance to it, and then
I can get even more funky than that.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
You know.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
My music can range anywhere from you know, the smooth
you know crooners, from Teddy Pendergrass all the way over
to James Brown, you know where we're funking it all
the way out like we're at church and just getting
down and organs and guitars and you know, just.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Funky backfeats on the drums.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
So yeah, old fashion all the way, you know, you
know obviously I'm I'm you know, vintage, you know I
love the retro so old fashion.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Awesome. All right, man, I'll tell you what tell us

I'm all right, Torontos. I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Thank you. We're happy to have you. Man, So you
got kind of a cool story. When did the bug
bite you? When did you start making music?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Man?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Man, you know, I started in church, as most R
and B and soul artists do. Maybe when I was
a kid, maybe twelve ten, twelve years old, I started
playing drums and I've always sang, and then just kind of.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Continue to move forward.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
I started learning oregon and keys as a teenager, and
then I went to the University of North Texas learned
guitar and bass and learn about songwriting and jazz and
all of that good stuff. And then, you know, fast
forward today here I am.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
That's cool, yeah, and I totally get it. What was
the first tune you learned?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Ooh?
Speaker 6 (02:01):
The first song that I learned on piano, first R
and B song was Riven in the Sky by Stevie
Wonder Okay, and man.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It's just such a beautiful song. It was.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
You know, I heard several people performing that, you know,
on different shows and stuff, and I just say, I
would like to learn this.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So that was one of the first songs that I learned.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, Stevie Wonders awesome, man, he's got some great tunes.
So did you have any family that was in the
music business or relatives that inspired you in any way?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah? Absolutely. My sister was kind of a hip hop,
kind of soul artist, you know, in the vein of
Mary J.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Blige in the nineties, and you know, she kind of
did arounds and recorded some music. And I just remember saying,
I would never ever want to become an artist or
never want to be someone in the front. Rather, I'd
just rather be a musician or maybe just a producer,
based on what I saw her go through.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
But man, obviously that change here I am.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, okay, And tell us about your instrument. Do you
play an instrument? Which one?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Absolutely? I play a few different instruments. I started off
on drums. I moved over to keys Ham and Oregon.
You know, I love playing piano and find the roads
hamm and organ. In college, I learned guitar and bass,
and so those are my main four. I dabbled in
some other stuff, some percussion. I play a little bit
of flute, but those are the main four.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So if you had to pick old vinyl, a track tape, cassette,
CD or something modern. You know what would you pick?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Dad? It's tough, you know what. It's so funny.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
As we speak, I'm sitting in front of a cassette
boom box. I just bought it off an Amazon for
a video shoot, and I just got all this nostalgia
that came to me. I remember back in the day,
how we had the double cassette that you can record
on one.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Side and then you know, play on the other side.
So say cassette for just to come.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
From my era, you know, in at the era, in
at the end of a track, at the end of vinyl,
right when cassette was booming.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
So I hear you, man, I'm an eighties child. I
love cassettes. Yeah, absolutely, you know what I remember. I
remember getting my first I don't remember it was it
Sony walkman, but it was a cassette thing. And then
they had the CD thing and you try to run
in it and it would skip all the time. You
try to hold your arm steady, and it just like
(04:28):
I think back to now the iPhone where you can
run and do whatever you want. It's not going to
keep skipping.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
That it is crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Yeah, I remember those days, the CD skipping all of that, man, Yeah,
that is a trip. That is a trip. Yet now
you can do it all today wireless. You know you
can keep it going.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So are you influenced by any musicians from yesterday or
from nowadays? Anyone you want to share with us that
or alive?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Well, we just lost one of my favorite idols. Rested peace,
mister Michael D. Angelo Archer. I love the Angelo because
he gave you a mixture of you know, Prince James Brown,
you got the funk, and you got the soul and
rock and those guys, but then you also had that
sexy R and B style from Curtis Mayfield and also.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Al Green and the Ozley Brothers all mixed in one.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
So the Angel is kind of like my idol of
all of my idols mixed in one, you know, because
like I said, love, I love the Ozzli Brothers, I
love Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gay, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes. I'm
a seventies R and B guy, you know. I also
love of course Win Frankie Beverly Amazed. And then if
we move up a little bit in me condition. You know,
(05:42):
I just love the sound of real instrmentation and live instimitation.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I love all music, but.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
It's just something about just those live instruments from the seventies,
you know, and that just really make me feel good,
you know.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So those those those are just a pitch of idols.
I can go on and on. Also want mentioned PJ Morton.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
I love PJ Morton, Gino Young Van Hunt from today.
You know, Leon Thomas is making some noise brand new artists.
You know, I was actually looking at concert dates from
him before we jumped on here.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I'd love to see him. But yeah, those are my guys.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
So when you get started songwriting, what do you do? Lyrics? First, music, first, melody,
drum groove with's your passion.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Usually it's a melody or the lyrical concept that comes first.
I tend to, you know, I get a melody, or
I could be jamming on the instrument and I say
I like that loop, and I'll record that and that
I can come up with a melody or concept later.
But usually, like I said, it's the melody of a
song or the lyrical concept or just you know, like
(06:46):
a little instrumental loop that I liked that I might
have just stumbled upon, and.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I'll pull out my phone recorder and record it and
then develop it later.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I got it's just a story about one of the songs.
You know, we're going to talk about a little bit
later on that developed. But anyways, that's gonna save that.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
If you had to do it all over again, be honest,
would you still choose this career?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I would have chose it sooner, Okay, I would have
told it sooner, you know.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I just you know, I had a lot of resources
in college.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Even before college.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
I grew up in Austin, Texas, which is technically, you know,
the music capital of the world, they say, so a
lot of resources have become an original.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Musician there, you know.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
And then as I got in college, man, a lot
of my you know appears went on the wing Grammys.
I went to school with Snarky Puppy. I went to
school with R. C. Williams and the Gritz, who was
also Erica Vardou's music director. I was in school with
Sean Martin rest In Peace, who was Kirk Franklin's music
director as well as one of Snarky Puppies top guys
(07:51):
you know U and T, and then just the list
goes on and just how many resources I had, and
if I was just a little bit more for the
loan I started. My story is that I was an athlete.
I went to U and T to play football, but
I knew I still love music, and I knew that
YOU and T University of North Texas was a music
school as well. But I just I just love sports.
(08:12):
I love football. I was a running back, and I
just that was just what I knew, you know, And
you know, I pushed hard. I got to play a
year or two in college, and then I just.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Said, you know what, I want to do. This music
stuff I'm in I'll never forget.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
In the year two thousand and three, I went to
a juneteen concert in Denton, Texas, that's where U and
T is, and I just saw a fellow peer by
the name of Carmen Rogers singing her original music and
with another one of my favorite singers, you know, who's
playing bass for her, mister Gordon Pope, who's like a
big brother to me. I saw them singing and playing.
(08:45):
I was like, I want to do that. I want
to write my own songs. So that's when I made
the decision to say I'm going to shoot for this career.
I left football, you know, changed my major, you know,
to a little bit something that I can focus. I
wasn't a music major, but I did something that would
help me have more time.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
To focus on a career in music. And that was it, man.
You know, so I'd say I wish I would have
jumped on it sooner.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I'm going to try really hard not to talk my
Chicago Bears because I don't want to get distracted. Man,
But go Bears, shout up there you go. So one
of the questions I love to ask a bunch of
people is about scams and being ripped off in this business.
Oh my, any advice to listeners anything you might have
fallen for to help warn one another?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Absolutely the best thing that I can say, Just a
few things. First of as, if it sounds too good
to be true, it may be, So just do as
much research on whoever you're trying to deal with and
whatever kind of service you've getten Then also, you know,
just ask yourself, at your level of artistry, do you
think this can really really benefit you? And you just
(09:58):
kind of have to be honest with yourself times and
I'd also say just, you know, just make sure that
you know, we have a lot.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Of pay to do this, pay to do that.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
And I heard something that was from an Instagram set
out to Bacon Bitch, who's an Instagram influencer that that
does a lot of music tips, and he said something
that was really great that I could just kind of
throw everything in a nutshell with let the music industry
come to you.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
There. There aren't really any shortcuts.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I mean, you can go viral, you can shake the
right hand, and that can definitely give you a big boost,
but no amount of money or no you know, sometimes
not a single person can paying a single person. Let
me say that paying a single person will give you
that shortcut that you think you need. Now, that industry
will come to you if you're doing good stuff, if
(10:46):
you shake the right hand, they'll be paying you to
come in and do what you need to do. You know,
whether that's they'll say, hey, let me please sign you,
let me please have you for this gig, let me
please you do this, or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
You know.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
And so especially want to make sure that you're more
so on the receiving in and the money than spending
money for services, because a lot of times when you're popular, man,
people will almost work for you for free or because
they want to be attached to breaking you as an artist,
because they know you're really talented, and so you just
don't want to be taking advantage of I see a
lot of artists that are very hungry, and a lot
(11:21):
of people in this industry will take advantage of that hunger.
Oh yeah, you know, I can get you this many streams,
I can get you this many followers, I can I
can get your song on the radio. I can get
you if you pay me five thousand dollars, you can
open up for brutal, you know, crazy stuff, and so,
you know, just be careful with that type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Be careful with spending.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
I'm not talking about spending money and investing in advertisements,
investing in content, investing in things that you you know,
can have for yourself, investing in your production and different
things like that.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I'm talking about, you know.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Investing in a quick fix or a quicker upper, like, oh,
let me get you these streams, let me get you
these follows, let me get you signed, Let me book
these gigs for you if you give me five hundred dollars.
You know, don't don't get involved in that, you know.
So that'd be my tip for the younger generation. You know,
you know, it's it's it's it's tough, but you know
and thank.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
You, yes, tell us about this song. We're gonna hear
what inspired this one?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Okay, so we got kiss your lips? You know, it's interesting.
One one of my favorite songs off the record. I
tend to record my songs remotely with different musicians. H
The songs features Grammy Award winning Bobby Sparks, who plays
with Snarky Puppy, played with D'Angelo, Nelly Furtado and Kirk
Franklin on keyboards. Uh Teyron Lockett on drums, who's played
(12:46):
with Prince Cory Henry Starky Puppy, and then also Erica Baidu.
Uncle Phlip of the Mac Band was on bass and uh,
I think that's that. I can remember mister Kevin K. P.
Pittman mixing mastered this. One of my college buddies. We
started together over twenty years ago and we're still rocking
(13:07):
and rolling. He plays keys in the band and he
also mixed a mess. But anyways, this song was very interesting.
I woke up in the middle of the night and
had this melody and chords.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
In my head and lyrics all at once. You know.
That's that's a really rare thing.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
And I was immediate, like I have to get out
of my sleep at six in the morning, and.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I had to get out of the bed and go
to my.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Piano and pull out my recorder and recorder and I
still have that recording today, you know. And so I said, Okay,
I got that down. I'm gonna develop this and build
this later. And as time went by, I developed the
song into what it is today, and I can proudly
say that it is a great interpretation.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Of what I had in that dream. And I kind
of I kind of like to lead things raw.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
I don't want to doctor them up or overproduce them
to the point to where it's totally different song. And
so I just stuck with the hook that I had, baby,
when I kiss your lips, you know, And that's all
I said on the hook. I just had some vocals
and synthesizers kind of going in and around. I wanted
to create this intoxicating feel of like, oh, I'm speechless, I.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Don't even you know when I kissed the list. This
is what I feel. Here's just some music, you know,
and I just wanted.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
To create that intoxicating, you know, intense feeling that I
feel when that you feel when you do kiss somebody
that you're really into and that you love, you know.
And that's that's how that song came about, man, and
it slowly became one of my favorites. When I first
finished off, Okay, it's cool, you know, And but man,
we added some different effects on the drums and the
(14:46):
bass to give it that more I don't know, kind
of wh feeling like you were just you know, some
type of drug or something like a flanger feel on
the drums and put a phaser on the base to
give it that seventies you know, psychedelic soul sound, you know,
along with sex sexyists and stack some pianos like Isaac
(15:08):
Hayes and the Gap Band, and you know, and then
here we are today, kissing real awesome.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
All right, man, tell you what. Let's take a listen.
We'll come back and talk a few more minutes. Okay,
I'll dood alright, everybody check this out.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Maybe when I kiss you on lips, I kiss.

Body I know you want to but you can't.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, of course, man, man, I don't know. You don't
have so many. Okay, here here's one just off the
top of my head. I love to laugh. I love
a good laugh. I love jokes.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Kevin Stage has been one of my favorite people to follow.
I saw him in concert or what they're going to
call it. He's a comedian and one of the best
comedy shows that I've ever been to.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
And he's just consistent. I can always get a good laugh.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
I actually had a good laugh for him before we
jumped on Here as well. He's doing a new kind
of like a therapist series on TV and it's just
so funny, you know. And then he just does random
just improve critiques and different things online and he's just
one of the funniest people. And I just feel like
if we knew each other, we would just get a laugh.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
We relate. He has used many cuss words as I do.
But you know, I think we'll still relate on other
other ends. But Kevi on stage, comedian Kevin Stage.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Any cool road trips you've been on the last year
you want to admit to here.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Ooh, road trips, road trips, let me think road trip.
Haven't done many road trips, you know. I've done some tours,
you know, and uh say this, I'll say this.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I'll give you something. I have done a road trip,
not in the United States. I did a road trip
in Russia.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
So I performed in ro Don and because of the
political situation, you cannot fly into right now, so I
took like a nine hour road trip.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Man. And those Russian roads are different.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
You get to see some of the countryside, you get
to stop and some of the buildings, get something to eat.
Not many Americans, let alone African Americans there, so when
they see you in the countryside, it's like Lebron James
walked in.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
So, I mean, you know, I've done many road trips,
you know, in Russia, but that was you know, rather
interesting because you know, like I said that, because of
the situation right now and not many Americans there, and
uh you know.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
That that's you know, that's that's my road trip.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah. Okay. If your music was a cocktail, what would
it be? Describe it in detail?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
For us, it would be an old fashion awesome. It's sweet,
but it also is it also has a bite to it.
You know, we can get funky. We can get out
there too. You know, we have kids for this, but
then we also have Don't Forget Me, which is funky.
We can get up and dance to it, and then
I can get even more funky than that.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
You know.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
My music can range anywhere from you know, the smooth
you know crooners, from Teddy Pendergrass all the way over
to James Brown, you know where we're funking it all
the way out like we're at church and just getting
down and organs and guitars and you know, just.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Funky backfeats on the drums.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
