Speaker 2 (06:39):
This is great, all right, welcome to DNA.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You to be here. You know, I've been watching you
because you know everybody that Howard sends me, I watch, right,
So I did. First of all, welcome to the show.
But I did watch. There was a nice little video
that you had put out about the last name Mayo. Yeah,
(07:05):
so I thought it was so cute because she was
explaining to everybody because her name is actually it is
actually Maddie Elise Mayo. I love the name Elise, by
the way, thank you. But I was coming, you know,
and you're the pun queen. From my understanding as well, I.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Make a lot of puns. It's like, honestly, I should
be a dad with my humor. But you know, here
we are just Maddie Mayo. So with a name like Mayo,
you have to learn at an early age to make
a lot of jokes about it, because trying to survive
like middle school with that name was rough.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But well, of course, you know, because I was thinking
to miss. The first thing I kept thinking about was
like when she comes on the show, going to say
it was nice to catch up with you, get it?
Catch up?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That was actually a good pun.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Wow, listen, Oh, I got a few more. I wrote
them down.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
I don't want to like throw a ranch into your uh,
into your condiment puns, but I think I've probably heard
most of them, so I might try and beat you too.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
All right, we're going to be doing that the whole interview.
You know, it was you know, I was like, upward
and onward, this is where we're going. But again, you
are a sweetheart, So it's good to have humor.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, it's very good to have humor at a lot
of people that are serious and it's like, come on, man.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah you got to have laughter. But anyway, let's start off.
You will actually from I can't pronounce it, might if
I do it right, I will. But Nick Minneville, Oregon.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Yes, yeah, you nailed it. You nailed it. You did
put the East Coast accent though on Oregon. Right, Oregonians
we say it orgon like a like an organ in
your body. Everybody else calls it orgon.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, okay, see she got me.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
That was good. You nailed it. You nailed it on Mcmnville.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's a that's a tough one and you need that's
the whole thing. It was all yeah, it's all those ends,
you know. And I'm sitting there, but tell us about that.
A little bit of backstory on there, on how you
grew up over there and then decided to jump into
the Lions then into the you know, into La Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
I mean I grew up. Mcminville was more of a
small town than it is now. As I was growing up.
It has like blown up lately with the wine country,
which is amazing. So now people are like, oh, yeah,
I went, I visited will Lammett and it's like this
whole thing now, and I'm like, yeah, we don't even
have a target. It's a small town. I'm not even
make enough for Trader Joe's. But it was a great
(09:31):
town to grow up in. There's just one high school,
so all of the kids in town we all knew
each other. We all went to the same school, but
because it was only one, it was a pretty big school.
So I had a lot of really awesome music programs
and I was like a choired nerd from day one,
music theory, all that fun stuff. And honestly, as everybody
was like getting ready to go off to college and
(09:51):
spend all this money on degrees, I was like, I don't.
I don't want to do anything other than sing and dance,
and I don't want to put myself into debt try
to pay for a degree in that because I don't
know how much that's gonna serve me. And my college
is great if you you know, if you're wanting to
be an engineer or a doctor or anything like that,
that like requires that degree. But I was like, you
(10:11):
know what, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do it.
I'm just gonna go to LA I'm gonna give it
a go, and you know, if it doesn't work out,
I'll go to school. Like I'm fine, I'm resourceful, I'll
figure it out. Life is long, we'll get there. So yeah,
after year after high school, I caught like a bunch
of little part time jobs because I could not find
anything full time. It was right around the time where
(10:34):
they required that you provide health care to your full
time employees, so nobody wanted to hire anybody over thirty
hours a week. So I just collected a bunch of
jobs and like worked my butt off, saved a bunch
of money, and I moved down to Los Angeles. I
moved into home for dancers and like rented a bunk
bed by the week until I could find roommates and
(10:55):
a job and get myself set up in LA And honestly,
like everything kind of just fell into place for me
once I got there, and I was like, this is
where I'm supposed to be, Like this is This worked
out great? And I love Los Angeles like it is
it's home for me now I will always be home.
It's like the best community of people and and swear
a lot of the opportunity is as a musician and
(11:16):
as a dancer, so that's kind of how I ended
up there.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
She's very seasoned.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Nah.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
What I love about her is that she's not scared
to Actually, you know a lot of people do not
make it because they're scared to get out of their
comfort zone. You just basically explain, Hey, I stayed up,
didn't have no place to go, do what I had
to do, and now I made it and I'm here.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, I mean she did a wonderful job with doing that.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's amazing, man, because again, like I say it, not
I don't like to get out of the comfort zone.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Not not A lot of people have the guts to
go do that. They always they talk about it, what
they want to do and stuff like that, but they
really don't take that leap. And I mean, it's better
to try at least even if you fail. But you know,
when you get older, at least you said that you tried.
You know better than exactly not to have those type
of regrets when you get older, you know, but you
(12:07):
did it. And I mean, how long have you been
in Los Angeles now?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
So I was, Actually I was in Los Angeles for
a little while and then I moved. I lived in
Texas for a little bit and I just came back
to Los Angeles like a year ago. So I was
in Texas for a while actually a little longer than
I wanted to be because I love Los Angeles. I'm
really happy to be back. So I moved originally down
to Los Angeles in I was nineteen. I'm giving over
(12:33):
my age here if anybody wants to take any guesses.
I was nineteen and that was in twenty fifteen, so
like almost ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Now, you went to Los Angeles at nineteen years old?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Nineteen?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You just up the bags? When did you start listen?
This blew my mind? When did you hard?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
When did you start saving up to move to Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
I graduated high school when I was eighteen, and I
spent a gap year just saving money. And I mean
I still lived at home with my parents, and thankfully
I had that, so I wasn't like having to pay
rent and all of that stuff. Adulthood hadn't kicked it
and just yet, so I was able to save all
the money I was making. So yeah, I took just
one year, so started saving for a year and then
(13:18):
moved down there and realized they should have saved a
lot more because Los Angeles is really expensive, especially when
you're a nineteen year old and you don't know how
money works yet. So those were some good lessons to
learn right off the bat. But yeah, against against my
parents wishes, they were like, oh, dear God, a child
is like leaving and we can't stop her because she's
(13:38):
technically an adult. But like, oh dear God. So they
like begged me to wait because I was like in
the middle of the night, like had drug a suitcase
up the stairs, and I was like, it's it. I'm done,
I'm moving. I can't take it anymore. It's time for
me to go. And I was like throwing things into
a bag and my mom's like, hold on, let me
call your sister. My sister lives in Seattle. She's like
her and her husband will come down. At least let
them drive you. I know you don't want like me
(14:00):
and Daddy dropping you off in LA but like, if
we're going to put your car down there, can you
at least let your big sister drive you. I'm like, okay, fine,
oh tomorrow, And so they helped me like do the
I don't know what's it like seventeen eighteen hour drive
down from McMinnville to California, and they like left me
at the dance storm and I remember my sister leaving
and they were like, okay, bye, you're just getting in
(14:20):
a bunk bed. It was like sleeping with ten other
people in the same room. But it was great because
dancers are amazing. It was like all dancers in the house.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That was well, you just that is.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
When you have actually made him silent, that's an accomplished
It's just I.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Never heard really a lot of the nineteen eighty was
picking up.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
It's like, okay, I left the twenty three, Okay, I
left the twenty five. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yeah, and then she's like, yeah, I was nineteen, and
I said, you know what, I'm in a small town.
It's time for me to try to go make it.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm mad of here.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But I can imagine that. I can imagine the nervousness
of those parents because you know, it's their baby girl,
you know, living in a nice little cue.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Are you the youngest, Yeah, it's just my sister and
I so I was the baby of the family.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Use the baby, you know it. You know she takes
so off, you know, to do. Yeah, I mean I
can understand that, you know what.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
The good thing is what I'm just saying, like, I
know the parents are nervous, but like, man, everybody's out
the house now.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, yeah, like this sounds not true, not is like.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Come on, how many people do you really know?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That ad just picking up and leaving usually like twenty one,
twenty three, twenty four, that that didn't happen in my thing.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Now, I feel like maybe even ten years ago, it
was a bit easier to leave right off the bat
when you were like eighteen nineteen. And I feel like
that's changed a lot now because of just economic struggles
and like millennials are facing it, and I feel bad
for gen Z's at the moment, like what they're going
through and housing is way more expensive. I shared when
(16:00):
I finally got my first apartment in La I shared
a bedroom with another girl and the room. It was
a two bedroom apartment, so we split one of the
two bedrooms and my rent was five hundred bucks because
I was sharing the room. But like to think that
that could even exist now it doesn't, Like you couldn't
even split a bedroom for five hundred bucks now, it's crazy.
I mean, that's what I wrote the whole Nepo Baby
song about. Was literally my sassy response to exactly that,
(16:21):
and like I had the right timing for it.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Not yeah, when I can, if I can say something
with my parents. It got to a point you see
other people like they don't want their kids to go right,
and I think I didn't leave my house until I
got married.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It was a boy you know, like a Greek typical
typical Greek traditional family. And my father, you know, he
would not let me leave the house until I had
a ring on my finger. That's just you know, the
Greek traditional value.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
He saved a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It wasn't to be, yeah, I mean it did. But
at the same token, it was like my mother was like,
you can let her go, get you out now. I
mean I think I was like at twenty six, twenty
seven and I was still home. But I was, like
you said, I was loving it because I wasn't paying rent.
I mean I helped out with bills here and there,
(17:17):
just whatever I had to whatever I had, like whatever
if I had a cell phone or whatever I had
for myself, I had to pay for myself.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It wasn't I wasn't living off my parents, but I
kind of was. But yeah, my mom wanted me out.
There was a whole of my mom's like, don't you
even think about, you know, leaving, going on your own,
And my Dad's like no, she's stay home.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So you know, I love my dad, so now right,
So what I want to get to a point real
quick with her though, So now after that happened, like
in your journey, right, what was just how fast did
it start going for you when you start hit in
La How like how did like reality kick into the boil?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I mean quickly and slowly at the same time, because
I mean also I'll say, I know I'm looking back
on it with rose colored glasses because now it's been
like time has passed and I'm like everything was wonderful.
But I do remember being quite terrified, like a couple
weeks in of like, oh no, because when I moved
down I had a roommate lined up originally and me
(18:23):
and a friend were both going to move from Oregon
together and we were gonna have a place to share.
And then she was like, I don't think I'll be
able to find a job, and she kind of panicked
and was like, I can't do it. I can't move
with you. And I was like, script, I'm going by myself.
And that was the moment when I was like dragging
the suitcase up the stairs. So when I moved down there,
I found the dorm, the dancer dorms. It's a home
for dancers, which sadly did not survive the pandemic, but
(18:43):
it was a great resource and I lived there. But
they only had a bunk bed available for two weeks.
So the owner was like, this is rented after two weeks,
but it's available until then and the house is full.
So yeah, two weeks kid, And I was like, cool,
I can find a roommate and a job in two weeks.
It's like totally a long amount of time. That's so easy,
like and only a nineteen year old would think that.
(19:04):
So I got down there, and sure enough, it did
actually happen quite quickly. Within two weeks, I did find
a job, and well, I found like three jobs. I
was like nanny, and I was working at Starbucks, and
I was working at the Glendale Mall selling clothes. And
just kind of was like, Okay, we'll do all these things.
It's fine. At least to have a car. If anything happens,
I can sleep in my car. Everything's going to be fine.
(19:25):
But I found that roommate. What was actually funny too,
because I'll give my bit about manifesting, because I am
a little bit of a hippie witch here. When I
went down to visit when I was like eighteen, before
I moved to Los Angeles, I was looking at apartments
and my dad was definitely trying to scare me away
from moving to Los Angeles. He was like, I'm going
(19:45):
to take her to the scariest apartments I can find.
This is all you're gonna be able to afford.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
This is it.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
And like one of the landlords even looked at my
dad and was like, I would not rent to your daughter.
And he's like, well, she's an adult, she needs a
co signer. We'll co sign and he goes, no, no, no,
I'm a father. I have a daughter. This this building's
not safe. I would not rent to your daughter. And
my dad's like, well, this is all you're gonna be
able to afford, trying to scare me. But I went
to go visit this one place is in North Hollywood
and it was it's right across the street from a
(20:12):
bunch of the dance studios. It's like exactly in the hub,
right where I wanted to be. And I was like,
this is where the dancers live. I want to move here.
I've seen it in all the YouTube videos I watch
everybody obsess over like they live right here.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
On this block.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
So we went in too, where this building and it's expensive.
It's like two thousand dollars a month. It's like, you know,
there's no way I could afford it as a nineteen
year old working a minimum wage job. And I'm like,
just let me tour it, dad. So we tour it,
and I keep the little flyer from the from the
office with all of the least prices on it, and
for the next year, I have it on my bulletin
board and I wake up every morning and I'm like,
(20:43):
oh my god, i have to go to like one
of my seven jobs. I'm exhausted, and I'm like, I'm
going to move into that apartment. Let's go come on,
And I would go and every night before i'd go
to sleep, that's the last thing I'd look at. So
when I finally came off through a friend of a
friend of a friend, I found this random girl who
needed a roommate. She's like, meet me at the Starbucks
on the corner, just to make sure I'm like not
a crazy person. She doesn't want to tell me where
(21:04):
the apartment is yet, so we meet and she's like, cool,
You're cool. We'd get along well if you want to
see the apartment. It's actually right there. And she points
to the building and I go, no, way, that's the building.
I was the building that I had kept the fire
of And she's like yeah. I'm like within two weeks,
I managed to get myself into the building that I
wanted to live in, and I moved in. I called
(21:26):
my parents and I was like, bring the rest of
my stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Down with your father, Like, guess what, remember that building
I told you I want to move in. He probably like.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
That's when my parents were like, all right, this kid,
We just gotta let her do her thing. You know,
life works out when you trust it. You know, you
gotta work hard and you'll land on your feet.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
As I say, you got to keep putting this amazing.
But you know she's a danger. So she's got some
moves on her. I've been watching her.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm one.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I'm going to hear some of but I just want
to show a little It's a small little clip, but
it's of her dancing. So if we can play that
real quick on.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Beautiful, I'm lazy, show.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
The edge fairy, but the thick money.
Speaker 5 (22:33):

Speaker 1 (22:34):
I could do that. I could break a hip and
do that you could do it.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
You could do it. You come to my class. I
teach it Hollywood on Monday nights. You come learn it.
It'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Go to Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Don't try to butter me up. Okay, it ain't gonna happen.
If I did that, I would break a hip.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, you would turn two knees and then hit the
floor somehow.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, and then it would break.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
How did you just do this?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah? I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
No, good job.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I can't imagine. Because how how soon until we see
the rest of that video?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Well, hopefully in just a couple of weeks. I had
some more shots ligned up that I was going to get,
and life happens. So we we're pivoting to get the
shots a little bit differently. I was hoping to have
the full video to share with you today, but we
got a little delayed. We actually that was shot on
a brand new iPhone, which I thought was incredible for
the quality. So we're shooting. Wow, yeah, we're shooting this
(23:27):
whole thing on iPhone. I was all my friends were like,
you need a music video for the song? You need
a music video. I'm like, I know, but I just
don't like have the cash flow as an independent artists
to make a video that I really want to make,
and all my friends are awesome. They were like, okay,
well I just got the brand new iPhone. We're going
to film it on this. My friend was like, I'm
a choreographer. I'll help you choreograph. My boyfriend helped me
film all the shots. My other friends styled us and
(23:49):
helped us like location scout, and everybody just jumped in
and my other friend was like, yeah, I'll come dance
in it. And so we're getting the video done. So
hopefully in a couple of weeks. Well we'll have the
full thing out.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Something real cool. TikTok actually opens up the algorithm more
if you actually shoot it on your iPhone.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, that's true. Good to know a lot of people
do not know that. Well, all I'm saying is, you know,
you don't need the huge budget and the craziness of
the you know, the stress of having to get like
this crazy ass music video, because let me just tell you,
as long as people have a little bit of a
visual while the song is playing and they really like
(24:28):
the song, it really doesn't matter how elaborate the video is.
But you know, she's got a good.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Thing going on, you know, I'm be honest with you.
It definitely depends not on even budget.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It just depends on what's your vision because I've seen
a lot of things blow up down. It just shot
on again an iPhone, right, A lot of famous rappers
and I mean a lot of famous entertainers use the
iPhone and they get more than somebody that's pain.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Right now, you know what I mean, because people might
lose their business.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yeah, I mean, that's where most of us are consuming
our videos though, is just like scrolling. We're on TikTok,
we're on Instagram reels. So I shot all of the
shots in vertical and horizontal. We did two shots each time.
So I'll release it on one on YouTube for that format,
and then the full video on TikTok, which is where
most of my following is is TikTok people, So we'll
(25:21):
give the full video over there as well.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That's what you're going to get on right.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, that's pretty that. You know, she's she she does
a lot of videos on TikTok and Instagram. But you know,
just watching her, I'm like, she's got such vivacity, she
has such energy, She really does.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Has a lot of She shocked me maybeing nineteen years old,
just saying I'm just moving.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
To l like, well she's not nineteen anymore.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
No, but still like even having that ambition.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
It is, man, see my gray hairs. They're coming in.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Even go with the grades, dude, I had. I had
praise at twenty one. Okay, they came in at twenty one.
I mean it's you're starting. Yeah, it happens, you know,
because when you work really hard, that's when Claire number
five something, Clairol number five.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
It's okay, I'm lending mine come in as just little
glitter strands. For right now, we're just embraced in the sparkle.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I don't know if you can see mine? You see
if I see how you see?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Like, I don't know, it looks blonde.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
I mean it, honestly, it looks blonde from the camera. Yeah,
it blends great.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
You know why because because I was asked that yesterday
because somebody braided my hair and all these different colors
came into the braiding and and they go, did you
do this? I'm like, no, what happens is when I
dye my hair, I only go for the roots here
and in the back. I couldn't care less because I
don't look. I don't see it, but it's obviously growing
(26:51):
in the back. So when it's out in the sunlight,
it changes colors. So I got like an autumn forecast
back here because you can see r oranges and lawns
and stuff. Listen, I grow old gracefully, Okay, I like my.

the grades are coming in.

Yeah, well, we're gonna just hope somebody offers you a break,
Santa Claus. Remember that we can always get you, just
for men too. No, I'm just saying just what happened.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Do we have more? Do we have anything?
Speaker 5 (32:22):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
We don't. Okay, you wanted more? Oh she would more?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Fire fire put that employment man put that on.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
So how did you come up?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So how did you come up with the baby?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
So it's actually nepo baby. So nepo baby is basically
the term that I don't know, if you've been on
the side of things where everybody really started picking on
Haley Beaver for a minute, this all connects, I promise,
I promise, which is nepo stort from nepotism. So it
kind of blew up on for a while. Everybody was like, well,
they're just getting these jobs because they're nepo babies, and
(33:06):
it became this whole thing, and like Hailey Bieber was
like photographed wearing a tea shirt that said nepo baby
on it because she was like, screw you guys, sure
I am. And so anyways, that term kind of has
become a term that we were all using lately, and
I honestly I wrote this song after I had a
really frustrating conversation with my parents. I'll preface this with
(33:26):
I love my parents. I have a great relationship with them.
They're just from an entirely different generation and kind of,
like I mentioned earlier, like my generation has a totally
different world now than we even did ten years ago,
and certainly than my parents did when they were twenty
eight years old. And so we were just having a
(33:46):
conversation because my sister's five years older than me, and
she has kids and a family, and her and I
are facing the struggles of like groceries are expensive, housing
is expensive, all like everybody's buried in medical debt, and
so it's one of those things that were just like, like,
you guys don't understand my parents, like, giuse me to
just buy a house. It might not be one that
(34:07):
you like, but to start her home and then you
can fix it up and then you can sell that
and you can later you'll get the house that you
want and it'll be fine. And I'm like, what house
is anywhere near affordable? Look around the world is on fire,
Like what's going on? And so we kind of had
that conversation, and it was it was a whole long
conversation among many topics, covering just kind of money in
(34:31):
the economy and the difference for our generations and not
really see an eye to eye on it. So I
went to a session a couple of days later and
I sat down and my producers like, what do you
want to write about? And I'm like, I don't know,
but I'm like so mad still about this conversation that
I have with my dad, Like I don't understand how
to help him understand that, like the world is different now.
And so we were talking about it, and he my producer,
(34:53):
is actually from Morocco, so he is here on a
visa so that he can do music here. So we
were also kind of just talking about that and the
cost associated with living here with that, and some articles
came to mind that I had been reading that. I
saw a news article that was like millennials and gen
Z's trending new splurge groceries, and I'm like, Okay, the
(35:15):
boomer generation or the people that think that that's like
okay that everything is so expensive, they're thinking like, oh,
it's because they're buying unnecessary things they need to just
be eating bread and catch up. That's what I did
when I was there, and my generation is like, we
just want to eat food, Like this is insane. We
were promised if we went to college and got good jobs,
(35:35):
we'd be able to like live, and it's not happening.
And so you know the two sides of that coin.
So anyways, I wrote this song kind of based off that.
So that's why that article. The title of the article
is at the beginning as a news clip. At the
beginning of the songs is millennial and gen Z's trending
new splurge, lets get this groceries, And so it goes
into the day job to pay for the daydream, night
(35:57):
job to cover my ass, And it's very much like
millennials and gen Z now are the first generation to
be co working or not coworking, to be having two
jobs or more. Polly working is like the new term
that they've made to make it sound fun, and it's not.
People are tired more so than the other generations, and
(36:18):
so each line in the song really kind of goes
through that, and the chorus is don't worry, I'm just lazy,
because I feel like that's really the rhetoric because people
are are just nobody wants to work these days, and
I'm like, no, when we worked with multiple jobs at
a time, or does nobody want to work? Which one
is it? Guys? So it's really just me being sassy, like,
don't worry, I'm just lazy. I should have been an
(36:38):
EPO baby, Like maybe if you guys passed on more
to me than I wouldn't have to be. I should
have been a NEPO baby if I wanted to be lazy.
So it's really just kind of a sassy, tongue in
cheek response to honestly something that's like kind of depressing
for a lot of us.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Right now, I feel fair, but you know it's gonna
get way better. Yeah, you know what I mean, because.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
I hope so I help something.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Two thousand and seven, right, two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I graduated in two thousand and seven, and two thousand
and eight, I had jobs, stay, jobs ready to go up.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
They did a freezee on everything.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
A bad time to graduate, dude.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Anyway, they did the freeze on everything. When they did
the freeze on everything, we wait, we did like you
know what you guys did with the small jobs running
and around trying to get it in the recession, the
real recession hit market, remember crash two thousand and seven.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Okay, and then it got better. It started getting slowly
and slowly and slowly, slowly and slowly and better. When
that happens, you're going to see the boom happen. You're
gonna see the difference.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
That's why I like right now. It's just it's just
for right now. It's not gonna stay that way, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I don't think it's gonna stay. I don't think.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
I think we're all starting to recognize that there's some
issues with it, and everyone's seeing the inflation, and I think,
all like, okay, let's fix this. So I'm holding out
a hope for it, and I try to make silly,
you know, silly pop music out of things, but actually
still say something at the same time about it, like, hey, guys,
this is a problem. We can joke about it, but
(38:15):
these are real news articles that I'm quoting in a song.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
The music.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, but you know it because I love it. I
understand that because I am also a different generation. I
am older than both of you, so.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Really, yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I probably come from that journey. I grew up in
the eighties. Okay, so but I do remember as when I,
you know, I left. I didn't leave my parents until,
like I told you, but I had to do things
on my own. But I didn't have to hold down
two or three jobs. I was actually going to school.
I did take you know, some college courses, and I
(38:53):
would go to college at night, and then I would
work during the day to pay my bills.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
So even if I was on my own, I could
probably have still made a living back then, you know,
because everything was more easier. I understand where your parents
are coming from, because back then I didn't have to
work as hard. I didn't, you know, it was just
going to school and then I went to my job,
and I made enough money that I really didn't need
(39:20):
to be at home. But it was good for me
to stay home and you know, save all my money up,
you know. But now it's yeah, it's just a little
harder now for kids these days. It's just everything is
just that.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Can I say one thing, No, you have people right
now become a millionaires just using this a phone.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So there's like there's still a lot of money out there,
but what happened is the money isn't the way that
we were taught how to make money is changing in
a rap.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
So yeah, and I get very annoyed too.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
I was.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
I get very annoyed too of people, not even people.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
I just get very annoyed of There's so much opportunity
out there now more than ever.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
But the thing is again miscommunication and how to get it.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah. I think the problem also is is that a
lot of them are waiting for the opportunity rather than
actually going out there and getting it like she did.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
But look at you, you know what I'm saying, look
at look at you. You all the definition of some
a go get it, somebody that's going to make it. Yeah,
because she just she's that already technically did basically because
you went out to La by yourself.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Nobody helped, No mommy and daddy.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
None of that.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
You did it.
Speaker 5 (40:39):
I wish I would have been an Epple baby. It
would have been so much. Yeah. I mean, and I
see that a lot. I see that a lot in
my peers. You know, everybody's working really hard. It's just
it's one of those facts of life. You know, over
eighty percent of America is in debt above fifty grand,
and the average income of an American is about sixty
thousand dollars a year, so their debt is on most
(41:00):
the equivalent and will continue to rise because nobody's paying
it off in full. They're paying off the minimums each month,
and so it's kind of that that cycle that people
get stuck in, and there's a lot of opportunity out
there if you can get above that. Like some of
those little barriers, all those little things are just you know, hard.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
It's going to get better because you're going to see
a lot of things transpire in the next couple of years.
So you're going to see a lot of what they
say with the inflation and the debt. I don't want
to get too much on politics, but there's just a
lot of I always say, dead weight in this country.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
When they get rid of that.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
It's going to even out. Because I already know all
that because I put that word in the song.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
There's a meaning for everything.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, but that's why I said that. Okay, I'm just saying,
you know, I listen, I listened to lyrics.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
I'm just saying, but there's.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Gonna be a lot of dead weight.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
When when the dead weight leaves is going to change
the whole economy and the whole surrounding and things are
going to start going lower again.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
But I always believe, oh you already know, Uncle Sam
always wants his money.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
Sam's always going to get it too. That's the one
part about it. You can almost guarantee the what is it,
the two guarantees in life or death and taxes, It'll happen, right, She's.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Got that, and that's why. But anyway, so, how do
you feel right now? Right? What is your goals for
five years down the road for you to accomplish to yourself?
Speaker 5 (42:28):
Myself my goals right now, I'm heavily focused on music.
I really want to get to the point where I'm
able to tour and do full shows. I mean, as
you guys know, I'm a dancer. So I love performing
and I love being able to do both. And that's
why a lot of my songs I make them with
that in mind. As I'm writing the music, I'm like, okay, this,
(42:49):
I need this to be more of a dancy something
like I can see this on stage. I want this
moment here, So I really want to get to the
point where I'm getting to do those big tours and
get out out there and connect with people. But overall,
I'm I mean, like I said, I write music because
I want to. I have something to say, and so
I want to write music out there that can give
somebody a little nugget that is fun, it's dancy, it's catchy,
(43:12):
but it's something that they can relate to and maybe
it's something that they can carry with them. And so
I want to create like that little space that people
just want to kind of crawl inside of and live
in for even for just a minute, because that's really
what music is. It's it is something that helps us
all feel whatever emotion is that we're going through. So
I want to expand that audience and be able to
(43:33):
reach more people with that and have people that will,
you know, come want to see that live and enjoy
the live shows and come party with me. It is
the goal. I want to keep making music and keep
writing about things that people want to hear about, they
want to sing along to and dance along too. And
I hope in like five years from now, you guys
are gonna be like, oh my gosh, Maddie Mayo. He
(43:55):
had her on five. You call that girl up, like up,
that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
No, I believe it.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Your music is uh, I was telling her on break.
I was just like very impressed because, you know, no offense.
They get a lot of people. They give us demo,
they give us singles and all that, and they always
say you'll take a look at it.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
We stop you and she denies it every five seconds.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
No, let me just stop you right there. Because if
it wasn't for the relationship that I have just garnered
with two very special individuals. Okay, one of them is
Howard and another one is Barry, and they have gave
us this output of really talented individuals.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Oh absolutely, Okay. They've been hitting it on the dot.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
They've been hitting it on the mark every week. So
every time every week, you know, I talk to Howie
and stuff, and I'm like, Okay, who we got next,
you know, I'm like, what we got next, Howard. It's
just like, I'm enjoying this journey with these guys because
they're bringing people who are just stars, who are just
(45:04):
so talented, and it's like it's such a pleasure when
he's like, you know, the first night of Howard. Oh
you're gonna love her. Oh you're gonna love her. And
I'm like, okay, throw her over here, you know. And
that's all he's been doing. And I'm just how could
you not be happy with these people?
Speaker 2 (45:20):
You know what I'm saying, I'm very happy. I got
a girl who.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Sings, who dances. She's funny, she's you know, she's comical.
She takes my jokes. You know, she's good.
Speaker 5 (45:29):
I love her.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Now, everybody that he's been bringing into is very professional,
and they really love their craft.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
You know, it's not even that about loving their craft,
it's just hold up. But they're so genuine that.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
But I'm saying they're very professional. But then they do.
They're very professional and they're serious.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
They are so serious.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
That's why I love having He said, but artist is
on here, because it's like everybody watching, anybody listening. You know,
you have an artist that basically been starving for this,
left the house and is still doing.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
An amazing job. I can't even believe you had three jobs.
Speaker 5 (46:07):
Oh man, I had. I had seven. At one point
before I moved. I was I was waitressing at two
different places. I was nannying, I was teaching dance, I
was teaching voice, I was working at a clothing store,
and then I had like another like music sort of thing.
I led worship for my local church on Sundays and
(46:29):
did like the kids ministry thing, and so I had
seven different jobs that I was doing at one time.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
She just she at work both of us.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Just now, are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (46:40):
She just did both only the only time in my
life I think I would have the energy for that?
Was it? Eighteen years old?
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Slapped us around?
Speaker 5 (46:47):
Know that right?
Speaker 1 (46:48):
She just slapped us around.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
What you got?
Speaker 1 (46:51):
She just slapped us.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I had none.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
She slapped it, slapped us once. She slapped us twice.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
Man, she smacked us, did the whole freaking thing.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
Went back like She's like, yo, she just took care
of us.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
She just gave us.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
You know that what do you call that? Slam dunk
kind of thing? And wrestling just like to the floor.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
I forgot what you call them? Man's suplexed?
Speaker 1 (47:13):
She is, she's superlex us. Is that what she did? Okay?
But you know her song her themes are more about
like like observations of day to day life, right and
uh mental hellness, mental health and wellness, you know, illness.
Yes see, she's good man. She's she's quicker than I am.
(47:36):
I mean, you know, she's really good man. I'm telling you.
I'm just saying she's really good at that. She's catching
my mistakes.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
And me and her usually do like, who can we
compare you to this? Nobody else?
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Okay, I can compare.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Okay, I can't.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
You can't compare.
Speaker 5 (47:53):
Give me somethings. People always ask this question, and I
feel like I make my own comparisons. But that's my
my perception of me. So give me yours.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
I need to hear these, and maybe I don't want
to tell you right now. Oh wait, he's gonna say no, okay, now, okay,
now on the paper across the table. No, It's like
we're in like a greade school. Don't you can just
say it? You don't have to write it?
Speaker 2 (48:17):
All right?
Speaker 3 (48:17):
So my question to you is, right, do you feel
like that's more of like a K pop kind of
sound or a pop kind of sound?
Speaker 5 (48:26):
You know, I'm not really somebody who listens to a
lot of K pop, which it is kind of wild
to come out of my mouth as somebody who really
loves pop music. I feel like I don't listen to
a lot of K pop, so I have a hard
time comparing myself to that, but I do think that
it does have a lot of the same comparisons. My producer,
his name is Tomza. He uh, he writes a lot
of he does a lot of hyper pop type music,
(48:49):
and I always am trying to pull him back to
like the earlier, like twenty tens type pop music, And
so we get this little mesh of both, which is
kind of why we land right there on that sound.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
I got one you know what when she was singing,
she read, I don't know the name of the lead
singer on the on the group, but we're talking about
remember this the group the Jets. What I'm just saying, Okay,
you don't you may not remember.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Them, all right, ladies and gentlemen, Okay, minn.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Never too you found out. I gotta crustion she has
that she has that sweet, you know, penetrating voice.
Speaker 2 (49:39):
I can't compare her like I was trying to think.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
It's not that I was trying to think of the
people like with like you know that type melody, and
only that dawned on me was a couple of K
K pop singers well, and and to me, I'm like, Na,
she doesn't sound like any of.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
That because her tone is way different than they, a.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Little bit of a just a tad.
Speaker 5 (50:02):
I will take that. Hold on, hold on, let's get
the high pony and there you go. Here's too short.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
If you listen to I could see that.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
You know, I was thinking that too, But I was
kind of like thinking a little bit more when Arianna
first came out. And see, like as you see, Irihanna
has been in the game now for a long time, right,
but when she first came out, that's what she reminds
me of. When she first came out, she was like, Yeah,
I'm telling you, if you listen to that song by
(50:35):
the Jets, you can hear Maddie, Oh.
Speaker 2 (50:38):
I know what song you're saying. Yeah, yeah, I definitely agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
I've never been making I've never been very legendary.
Speaker 2 (50:52):
I'm just saying, just wow, that's crazy. That's really good air.
That was a really good air. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
I know for me to be stopped and look like
I got nobody on that one, I know, I know,
because it's not it's not just about I'm not about
comparing you to the actual singer. It's just the feeling
I get, the type of tone of the tone that
you're right, It's like, that's what when I when I
heard you, that's who I. It threw me back to
(51:19):
that time. And and let me tell you, if you
can be if you can sound to me like who
I grew up with. Those people were very seasoned back then. Okay,
they're not as seasoned as they are now.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
Absolutely not. They got something called udotone that always says them.
But anyway, yes, this is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (51:41):
Everybody uses a little bit of melanzine. It happens.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Yeah, but you know what, it's just like it's very
authentic in you, and we like your music. So that's it.
Speaker 5 (51:50):
Thank you, thank you. I'm glad you do.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Listen. You wouldn't be here if we didn't. Okay, I
trust that. I trust that. We've had a couple of nightmares.
Let me just say something. Not now when we first started,
you know, and then I said, you know what, baby,
we got to be like other people. We got to
like vet and you know, really know what the person's
(52:17):
about and what they're doing, and you know what kind
of music and stuff, because you know, we want everybody
to watch the show and actually enjoy it, you know,
so thank you very much for having you know, for
coming on and everything. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
It's been a love honestly, man, it's been a lovely show. Yeah,
and you definitely should be inspiring the young people that
are coming up to have your hustle.
Speaker 1 (52:42):
Oh if they had your hustle, girl, m m m,
they had her hustle, I.
Speaker 5 (52:46):
Know they didn't stay out of it. I'll I don't
want the competition. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
Honestly, you really break it down, you really break it down.
There's only a handful of people that have your hustle.
Because this is how I look at it. Right in music,
let's say about probably thirty percent of people probably are
serious about this as a career. Yeah, that's why you've
seen all the time, one year later somebody falling off,
(53:14):
another year, someone falling off, another year, somebody leaving.
Speaker 2 (53:19):
Is I always felt that way?
Speaker 3 (53:20):
And then now break the margin of being a workhorse,
that's ten percent right then and there, Boom's only ten
percent in the world. Who I ever seen that a
straight a workhorses that will sleep in the studio as
a studio rat or.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
Have seven jobs or have seven jobs.
Speaker 2 (53:35):
Yeah, yeah, you're very that's very lightly, very rare, very.
Speaker 3 (53:39):
Very That's why I know your work ethic is gonna
make you become probably one of the greatest artists we
ever seen.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
But you know remember that, Yeah, as long it's not
you know what it is. You can't predict exactly what's
going to happen in everybody's future, but you you have
to make your future. You can't assume that the future
is gonna come into your hands and it's gonna you know,
it's gonna be rainbows and ponytails. Right, If you want
(54:11):
something so badly, you got to go out and get it.
And that's it. That's all I gotta say, Right, I.
Speaker 2 (54:17):
Had nothing else that, you know what I mean. That's
basically what you gotta do. All you have to do
is keep doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
When you're doing putting out these TikTok videos, pushing yourself,
you're probably seeing the beginning me sitting there going like
this with the camera going like they're looking my poor
producers looking at me like I'm weird, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
But you gotta have that hustle. Yeah, you don't have
that hustle. You're not familiar. People don't know what you're doing.
How you gonna make it? How do you gonna make it?
With nobody even know who you are in your single?
Speaker 6 (54:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (54:46):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (54:48):
No one's coming to save you. Uh, that's that's part
of life. Do it yourself.

Let's go to.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
The applause.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
This is great, all right, welcome to DNA.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You to be here. You know, I've been watching you
because you know everybody that Howard sends me, I watch, right,
So I did. First of all, welcome to the show.
But I did watch. There was a nice little video
that you had put out about the last name Mayo. Yeah,
(07:05):
so I thought it was so cute because she was
explaining to everybody because her name is actually it is
actually Maddie Elise Mayo. I love the name Elise, by
the way, thank you. But I was coming, you know,
and you're the pun queen. From my understanding as well, I.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Make a lot of puns. It's like, honestly, I should
be a dad with my humor. But you know, here
we are just Maddie Mayo. So with a name like Mayo,
you have to learn at an early age to make
a lot of jokes about it, because trying to survive
like middle school with that name was rough.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But well, of course, you know, because I was thinking
to miss. The first thing I kept thinking about was
like when she comes on the show, going to say
it was nice to catch up with you, get it?
Catch up?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That was actually a good pun.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Wow, listen, Oh, I got a few more. I wrote
them down.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
I don't want to like throw a ranch into your uh,
into your condiment puns, but I think I've probably heard
most of them, so I might try and beat you too.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
All right, we're going to be doing that the whole interview.
You know, it was you know, I was like, upward
and onward, this is where we're going. But again, you
are a sweetheart, So it's good to have humor.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, it's very good to have humor at a lot
of people that are serious and it's like, come on, man.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah you got to have laughter. But anyway, let's start off.
You will actually from I can't pronounce it, might if
I do it right, I will. But Nick Minneville, Oregon.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Yes, yeah, you nailed it. You nailed it. You did
put the East Coast accent though on Oregon. Right, Oregonians
we say it orgon like a like an organ in
your body. Everybody else calls it orgon.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, okay, see she got me.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
That was good. You nailed it. You nailed it on Mcmnville.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's a that's a tough one and you need that's
the whole thing. It was all yeah, it's all those ends,
you know. And I'm sitting there, but tell us about that.
A little bit of backstory on there, on how you
grew up over there and then decided to jump into
the Lions then into the you know, into La Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
I mean I grew up. Mcminville was more of a
small town than it is now. As I was growing up.
It has like blown up lately with the wine country,
which is amazing. So now people are like, oh, yeah,
I went, I visited will Lammett and it's like this
whole thing now, and I'm like, yeah, we don't even
have a target. It's a small town. I'm not even
make enough for Trader Joe's. But it was a great
(09:31):
town to grow up in. There's just one high school,
so all of the kids in town we all knew
each other. We all went to the same school, but
because it was only one, it was a pretty big school.
So I had a lot of really awesome music programs
and I was like a choired nerd from day one,
music theory, all that fun stuff. And honestly, as everybody
was like getting ready to go off to college and
(09:51):
spend all this money on degrees, I was like, I don't.
I don't want to do anything other than sing and dance,
and I don't want to put myself into debt try
to pay for a degree in that because I don't
know how much that's gonna serve me. And my college
is great if you you know, if you're wanting to
be an engineer or a doctor or anything like that,
that like requires that degree. But I was like, you
(10:11):
know what, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do it.
I'm just gonna go to LA I'm gonna give it
a go, and you know, if it doesn't work out,
I'll go to school. Like I'm fine, I'm resourceful, I'll
figure it out. Life is long, we'll get there. So yeah,
after year after high school, I caught like a bunch
of little part time jobs because I could not find
anything full time. It was right around the time where
(10:34):
they required that you provide health care to your full
time employees, so nobody wanted to hire anybody over thirty
hours a week. So I just collected a bunch of
jobs and like worked my butt off, saved a bunch
of money, and I moved down to Los Angeles. I
moved into home for dancers and like rented a bunk
bed by the week until I could find roommates and
(10:55):
a job and get myself set up in LA And honestly,
like everything kind of just fell into place for me
once I got there, and I was like, this is
where I'm supposed to be, Like this is This worked
out great? And I love Los Angeles like it is
it's home for me now I will always be home.
It's like the best community of people and and swear
a lot of the opportunity is as a musician and
(11:16):
as a dancer, so that's kind of how I ended
up there.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
She's very seasoned.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Nah.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
What I love about her is that she's not scared
to Actually, you know a lot of people do not
make it because they're scared to get out of their
comfort zone. You just basically explain, Hey, I stayed up,
didn't have no place to go, do what I had
to do, and now I made it and I'm here.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, I mean she did a wonderful job with doing that.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's amazing, man, because again, like I say it, not
I don't like to get out of the comfort zone.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Not not A lot of people have the guts to
go do that. They always they talk about it, what
they want to do and stuff like that, but they
really don't take that leap. And I mean, it's better
to try at least even if you fail. But you know,
when you get older, at least you said that you tried.
You know better than exactly not to have those type
of regrets when you get older, you know, but you
(12:07):
did it. And I mean, how long have you been
in Los Angeles now?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
So I was, Actually I was in Los Angeles for
a little while and then I moved. I lived in
Texas for a little bit and I just came back
to Los Angeles like a year ago. So I was
in Texas for a while actually a little longer than
I wanted to be because I love Los Angeles. I'm
really happy to be back. So I moved originally down
to Los Angeles in I was nineteen. I'm giving over
(12:33):
my age here if anybody wants to take any guesses.
I was nineteen and that was in twenty fifteen, so
like almost ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Now, you went to Los Angeles at nineteen years old?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Nineteen?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You just up the bags? When did you start listen?
This blew my mind? When did you hard?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
When did you start saving up to move to Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
I graduated high school when I was eighteen, and I
spent a gap year just saving money. And I mean
I still lived at home with my parents, and thankfully
I had that, so I wasn't like having to pay
rent and all of that stuff. Adulthood hadn't kicked it
and just yet, so I was able to save all
the money I was making. So yeah, I took just
one year, so started saving for a year and then
(13:18):
moved down there and realized they should have saved a
lot more because Los Angeles is really expensive, especially when
you're a nineteen year old and you don't know how
money works yet. So those were some good lessons to
learn right off the bat. But yeah, against against my
parents wishes, they were like, oh, dear God, a child
is like leaving and we can't stop her because she's
(13:38):
technically an adult. But like, oh dear God. So they
like begged me to wait because I was like in
the middle of the night, like had drug a suitcase
up the stairs, and I was like, it's it. I'm done,
I'm moving. I can't take it anymore. It's time for
me to go. And I was like throwing things into
a bag and my mom's like, hold on, let me
call your sister. My sister lives in Seattle. She's like
her and her husband will come down. At least let
them drive you. I know you don't want like me
(14:00):
and Daddy dropping you off in LA but like, if
we're going to put your car down there, can you
at least let your big sister drive you. I'm like, okay, fine,
oh tomorrow, And so they helped me like do the
I don't know what's it like seventeen eighteen hour drive
down from McMinnville to California, and they like left me
at the dance storm and I remember my sister leaving
and they were like, okay, bye, you're just getting in
(14:20):
a bunk bed. It was like sleeping with ten other
people in the same room. But it was great because
dancers are amazing. It was like all dancers in the house.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That was well, you just that is.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
When you have actually made him silent, that's an accomplished
It's just I.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Never heard really a lot of the nineteen eighty was
picking up.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
It's like, okay, I left the twenty three, Okay, I
left the twenty five. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yeah, and then she's like, yeah, I was nineteen, and
I said, you know what, I'm in a small town.
It's time for me to try to go make it.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm mad of here.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But I can imagine that. I can imagine the nervousness
of those parents because you know, it's their baby girl,
you know, living in a nice little cue.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Are you the youngest, Yeah, it's just my sister and
I so I was the baby of the family.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Use the baby, you know it. You know she takes
so off, you know, to do. Yeah, I mean I
can understand that, you know what.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
The good thing is what I'm just saying, like, I
know the parents are nervous, but like, man, everybody's out
the house now.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, yeah, like this sounds not true, not is like.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Come on, how many people do you really know?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That ad just picking up and leaving usually like twenty one,
twenty three, twenty four, that that didn't happen in my thing.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Now, I feel like maybe even ten years ago, it
was a bit easier to leave right off the bat
when you were like eighteen nineteen. And I feel like
that's changed a lot now because of just economic struggles
and like millennials are facing it, and I feel bad
for gen Z's at the moment, like what they're going
through and housing is way more expensive. I shared when
(16:00):
I finally got my first apartment in La I shared
a bedroom with another girl and the room. It was
a two bedroom apartment, so we split one of the
two bedrooms and my rent was five hundred bucks because
I was sharing the room. But like to think that
that could even exist now it doesn't, Like you couldn't
even split a bedroom for five hundred bucks now, it's crazy.
I mean, that's what I wrote the whole Nepo Baby
song about. Was literally my sassy response to exactly that,
(16:21):
and like I had the right timing for it.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Not yeah, when I can, if I can say something
with my parents. It got to a point you see
other people like they don't want their kids to go right,
and I think I didn't leave my house until I
got married.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It was a boy you know, like a Greek typical
typical Greek traditional family. And my father, you know, he
would not let me leave the house until I had
a ring on my finger. That's just you know, the
Greek traditional value.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
He saved a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It wasn't to be, yeah, I mean it did. But
at the same token, it was like my mother was like,
you can let her go, get you out now. I
mean I think I was like at twenty six, twenty
seven and I was still home. But I was, like
you said, I was loving it because I wasn't paying rent.
I mean I helped out with bills here and there,
(17:17):
just whatever I had to whatever I had, like whatever
if I had a cell phone or whatever I had
for myself, I had to pay for myself.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It wasn't I wasn't living off my parents, but I
kind of was. But yeah, my mom wanted me out.
There was a whole of my mom's like, don't you
even think about, you know, leaving, going on your own,
And my Dad's like no, she's stay home.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So you know, I love my dad, so now right,
So what I want to get to a point real
quick with her though, So now after that happened, like
in your journey, right, what was just how fast did
it start going for you when you start hit in
La How like how did like reality kick into the boil?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I mean quickly and slowly at the same time, because
I mean also I'll say, I know I'm looking back
on it with rose colored glasses because now it's been
like time has passed and I'm like everything was wonderful.
But I do remember being quite terrified, like a couple
weeks in of like, oh no, because when I moved
down I had a roommate lined up originally and me
(18:23):
and a friend were both going to move from Oregon
together and we were gonna have a place to share.
And then she was like, I don't think I'll be
able to find a job, and she kind of panicked
and was like, I can't do it. I can't move
with you. And I was like, script, I'm going by myself.
And that was the moment when I was like dragging
the suitcase up the stairs. So when I moved down there,
I found the dorm, the dancer dorms. It's a home
for dancers, which sadly did not survive the pandemic, but
(18:43):
it was a great resource and I lived there. But
they only had a bunk bed available for two weeks.
So the owner was like, this is rented after two weeks,
but it's available until then and the house is full.
So yeah, two weeks kid, And I was like, cool,
I can find a roommate and a job in two weeks.
It's like totally a long amount of time. That's so easy,
like and only a nineteen year old would think that.
(19:04):
So I got down there, and sure enough, it did
actually happen quite quickly. Within two weeks, I did find
a job, and well, I found like three jobs. I
was like nanny, and I was working at Starbucks, and
I was working at the Glendale Mall selling clothes. And
just kind of was like, Okay, we'll do all these things.
It's fine. At least to have a car. If anything happens,
I can sleep in my car. Everything's going to be fine.
(19:25):
But I found that roommate. What was actually funny too,
because I'll give my bit about manifesting, because I am
a little bit of a hippie witch here. When I
went down to visit when I was like eighteen, before
I moved to Los Angeles, I was looking at apartments
and my dad was definitely trying to scare me away
from moving to Los Angeles. He was like, I'm going
(19:45):
to take her to the scariest apartments I can find.
This is all you're gonna be able to afford.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
This is it.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
And like one of the landlords even looked at my
dad and was like, I would not rent to your daughter.
And he's like, well, she's an adult, she needs a
co signer. We'll co sign and he goes, no, no, no,
I'm a father. I have a daughter. This this building's
not safe. I would not rent to your daughter. And
my dad's like, well, this is all you're gonna be
able to afford, trying to scare me. But I went
to go visit this one place is in North Hollywood
and it was it's right across the street from a
(20:12):
bunch of the dance studios. It's like exactly in the hub,
right where I wanted to be. And I was like,
this is where the dancers live. I want to move here.
I've seen it in all the YouTube videos I watch
everybody obsess over like they live right here.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
On this block.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
So we went in too, where this building and it's expensive.
It's like two thousand dollars a month. It's like, you know,
there's no way I could afford it as a nineteen
year old working a minimum wage job. And I'm like,
just let me tour it, dad. So we tour it,
and I keep the little flyer from the from the
office with all of the least prices on it, and
for the next year, I have it on my bulletin
board and I wake up every morning and I'm like,
(20:43):
oh my god, i have to go to like one
of my seven jobs. I'm exhausted, and I'm like, I'm
going to move into that apartment. Let's go come on,
And I would go and every night before i'd go
to sleep, that's the last thing I'd look at. So
when I finally came off through a friend of a
friend of a friend, I found this random girl who
needed a roommate. She's like, meet me at the Starbucks
on the corner, just to make sure I'm like not
a crazy person. She doesn't want to tell me where
(21:04):
the apartment is yet, so we meet and she's like, cool,
You're cool. We'd get along well if you want to
see the apartment. It's actually right there. And she points
to the building and I go, no, way, that's the building.
I was the building that I had kept the fire
of And she's like yeah. I'm like within two weeks,
I managed to get myself into the building that I
wanted to live in, and I moved in. I called
(21:26):
my parents and I was like, bring the rest of
my stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Down with your father, Like, guess what, remember that building
I told you I want to move in. He probably like.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
That's when my parents were like, all right, this kid,
We just gotta let her do her thing. You know,
life works out when you trust it. You know, you
gotta work hard and you'll land on your feet.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
As I say, you got to keep putting this amazing.
But you know she's a danger. So she's got some
moves on her. I've been watching her.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm one.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I'm going to hear some of but I just want
to show a little It's a small little clip, but
it's of her dancing. So if we can play that
real quick on.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Beautiful, I'm lazy, show.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
The edge fairy, but the thick money.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Do that right.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I could do that. I could break a hip and
do that you could do it.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
You could do it. You come to my class. I
teach it Hollywood on Monday nights. You come learn it.
It'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Go to Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Don't try to butter me up. Okay, it ain't gonna happen.
If I did that, I would break a hip.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, you would turn two knees and then hit the
floor somehow.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, and then it would break.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
How did you just do this?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah? I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
No, good job.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I can't imagine. Because how how soon until we see
the rest of that video?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Well, hopefully in just a couple of weeks. I had
some more shots ligned up that I was going to get,
and life happens. So we we're pivoting to get the
shots a little bit differently. I was hoping to have
the full video to share with you today, but we
got a little delayed. We actually that was shot on
a brand new iPhone, which I thought was incredible for
the quality. So we're shooting. Wow, yeah, we're shooting this
(23:27):
whole thing on iPhone. I was all my friends were like,
you need a music video for the song? You need
a music video. I'm like, I know, but I just
don't like have the cash flow as an independent artists
to make a video that I really want to make,
and all my friends are awesome. They were like, okay,
well I just got the brand new iPhone. We're going
to film it on this. My friend was like, I'm
a choreographer. I'll help you choreograph. My boyfriend helped me
film all the shots. My other friends styled us and
(23:49):
helped us like location scout, and everybody just jumped in
and my other friend was like, yeah, I'll come dance
in it. And so we're getting the video done. So
hopefully in a couple of weeks. Well we'll have the
full thing out.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Something real cool. TikTok actually opens up the algorithm more
if you actually shoot it on your iPhone.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, that's true. Good to know a lot of people
do not know that. Well, all I'm saying is, you know,
you don't need the huge budget and the craziness of
the you know, the stress of having to get like
this crazy ass music video, because let me just tell you,
as long as people have a little bit of a
visual while the song is playing and they really like
(24:28):
the song, it really doesn't matter how elaborate the video is.
But you know, she's got a good.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Thing going on, you know, I'm be honest with you.
It definitely depends not on even budget.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It just depends on what's your vision because I've seen
a lot of things blow up down. It just shot
on again an iPhone, right, A lot of famous rappers
and I mean a lot of famous entertainers use the
iPhone and they get more than somebody that's pain.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Right now, you know what I mean, because people might
lose their business.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yeah, I mean, that's where most of us are consuming
our videos though, is just like scrolling. We're on TikTok,
we're on Instagram reels. So I shot all of the
shots in vertical and horizontal. We did two shots each time.
So I'll release it on one on YouTube for that format,
and then the full video on TikTok, which is where
most of my following is is TikTok people, So we'll
(25:21):
give the full video over there as well.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That's what you're going to get on right.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, that's pretty that. You know, she's she she does
a lot of videos on TikTok and Instagram. But you know,
just watching her, I'm like, she's got such vivacity, she
has such energy, She really does.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Has a lot of She shocked me maybeing nineteen years old,
just saying I'm just moving.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
To l like, well she's not nineteen anymore.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
No, but still like even having that ambition.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
It is, man, see my gray hairs. They're coming in.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Even go with the grades, dude, I had. I had
praise at twenty one. Okay, they came in at twenty one.
I mean it's you're starting. Yeah, it happens, you know,
because when you work really hard, that's when Claire number
five something, Clairol number five.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
It's okay, I'm lending mine come in as just little
glitter strands. For right now, we're just embraced in the sparkle.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I don't know if you can see mine? You see
if I see how you see?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Like, I don't know, it looks blonde.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
I mean it, honestly, it looks blonde from the camera. Yeah,
it blends great.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
You know why because because I was asked that yesterday
because somebody braided my hair and all these different colors
came into the braiding and and they go, did you
do this? I'm like, no, what happens is when I
dye my hair, I only go for the roots here
and in the back. I couldn't care less because I
don't look. I don't see it, but it's obviously growing
(26:51):
in the back. So when it's out in the sunlight,
it changes colors. So I got like an autumn forecast
back here because you can see r oranges and lawns
and stuff. Listen, I grow old gracefully, Okay, I like my.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
It's painted by wisdom, is what it is, A wisdom.

the grades are coming in.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, well, we're gonna just hope somebody offers you a break,
Santa Claus. Remember that we can always get you, just
for men too. No, I'm just saying just what happened.
I'm just saying it, you know, just throwing it out there.
Can we go to a really quick commercial break and

We don't. Okay, you wanted more? Oh she would more?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Fire fire put that employment man put that on.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
So how did you come up?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So how did you come up with the baby?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
So it's actually nepo baby. So nepo baby is basically
the term that I don't know, if you've been on
the side of things where everybody really started picking on
Haley Beaver for a minute, this all connects, I promise,
I promise, which is nepo stort from nepotism. So it
kind of blew up on for a while. Everybody was like, well,
they're just getting these jobs because they're nepo babies, and
(33:06):
it became this whole thing, and like Hailey Bieber was
like photographed wearing a tea shirt that said nepo baby
on it because she was like, screw you guys, sure
I am. And so anyways, that term kind of has
become a term that we were all using lately, and
I honestly I wrote this song after I had a
really frustrating conversation with my parents. I'll preface this with
(33:26):
I love my parents. I have a great relationship with them.
They're just from an entirely different generation and kind of,
like I mentioned earlier, like my generation has a totally
different world now than we even did ten years ago,
and certainly than my parents did when they were twenty
eight years old. And so we were just having a
(33:46):
conversation because my sister's five years older than me, and
she has kids and a family, and her and I
are facing the struggles of like groceries are expensive, housing
is expensive, all like everybody's buried in medical debt, and
so it's one of those things that were just like, like,
you guys don't understand my parents, like, giuse me to
just buy a house. It might not be one that
(34:07):
you like, but to start her home and then you
can fix it up and then you can sell that
and you can later you'll get the house that you
want and it'll be fine. And I'm like, what house
is anywhere near affordable? Look around the world is on fire,
Like what's going on? And so we kind of had
that conversation, and it was it was a whole long
conversation among many topics, covering just kind of money in
(34:31):
the economy and the difference for our generations and not
really see an eye to eye on it. So I
went to a session a couple of days later and
I sat down and my producers like, what do you
want to write about? And I'm like, I don't know,
but I'm like so mad still about this conversation that
I have with my dad, Like I don't understand how
to help him understand that, like the world is different now.
And so we were talking about it, and he my producer,
(34:53):
is actually from Morocco, so he is here on a
visa so that he can do music here. So we
were also kind of just talking about that and the
cost associated with living here with that, and some articles
came to mind that I had been reading that. I
saw a news article that was like millennials and gen
Z's trending new splurge groceries, and I'm like, Okay, the
(35:15):
boomer generation or the people that think that that's like
okay that everything is so expensive, they're thinking like, oh,
it's because they're buying unnecessary things they need to just
be eating bread and catch up. That's what I did
when I was there, and my generation is like, we
just want to eat food, Like this is insane. We
were promised if we went to college and got good jobs,
(35:35):
we'd be able to like live, and it's not happening.
And so you know the two sides of that coin.
So anyways, I wrote this song kind of based off that.
So that's why that article. The title of the article
is at the beginning as a news clip. At the
beginning of the songs is millennial and gen Z's trending
new splurge, lets get this groceries, And so it goes
into the day job to pay for the daydream, night
(35:57):
job to cover my ass, And it's very much like
millennials and gen Z now are the first generation to
be co working or not coworking, to be having two
jobs or more. Polly working is like the new term
that they've made to make it sound fun, and it's not.
People are tired more so than the other generations, and
(36:18):
so each line in the song really kind of goes
through that, and the chorus is don't worry, I'm just lazy,
because I feel like that's really the rhetoric because people
are are just nobody wants to work these days, and
I'm like, no, when we worked with multiple jobs at
a time, or does nobody want to work? Which one
is it? Guys? So it's really just me being sassy, like,
don't worry, I'm just lazy. I should have been an
(36:38):
EPO baby, Like maybe if you guys passed on more
to me than I wouldn't have to be. I should
have been a NEPO baby if I wanted to be lazy.
So it's really just kind of a sassy, tongue in
cheek response to honestly something that's like kind of depressing
for a lot of us.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Right now, I feel fair, but you know it's gonna
get way better. Yeah, you know what I mean, because.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
I hope so I help something.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Two thousand and seven, right, two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I graduated in two thousand and seven, and two thousand
and eight, I had jobs, stay, jobs ready to go up.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
They did a freezee on everything.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
A bad time to graduate, dude.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Anyway, they did the freeze on everything. When they did
the freeze on everything, we wait, we did like you
know what you guys did with the small jobs running
and around trying to get it in the recession, the
real recession hit market, remember crash two thousand and seven.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Okay, and then it got better. It started getting slowly
and slowly and slowly, slowly and slowly and better. When
that happens, you're going to see the boom happen. You're
gonna see the difference.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
That's why I like right now. It's just it's just
for right now. It's not gonna stay that way, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I don't think it's gonna stay. I don't think.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
I think we're all starting to recognize that there's some
issues with it, and everyone's seeing the inflation, and I think,
all like, okay, let's fix this. So I'm holding out
a hope for it, and I try to make silly,
you know, silly pop music out of things, but actually
still say something at the same time about it, like, hey, guys,
this is a problem. We can joke about it, but
(38:15):
these are real news articles that I'm quoting in a song.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
The music.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, but you know it because I love it. I
understand that because I am also a different generation. I
am older than both of you, so.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Really, yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I probably come from that journey. I grew up in
the eighties. Okay, so but I do remember as when I,
you know, I left. I didn't leave my parents until,
like I told you, but I had to do things
on my own. But I didn't have to hold down
two or three jobs. I was actually going to school.
I did take you know, some college courses, and I
(38:53):
would go to college at night, and then I would
work during the day to pay my bills.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
So even if I was on my own, I could
probably have still made a living back then, you know,
because everything was more easier. I understand where your parents
are coming from, because back then I didn't have to
work as hard. I didn't, you know, it was just
going to school and then I went to my job,
and I made enough money that I really didn't need
(39:20):
to be at home. But it was good for me
to stay home and you know, save all my money up,
you know. But now it's yeah, it's just a little
harder now for kids these days. It's just everything is
just that.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Can I say one thing, No, you have people right
now become a millionaires just using this a phone.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So there's like there's still a lot of money out there,
but what happened is the money isn't the way that
we were taught how to make money is changing in
a rap.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
So yeah, and I get very annoyed too.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
I was.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
I get very annoyed too of people, not even people.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
I just get very annoyed of There's so much opportunity
out there now more than ever.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
But the thing is again miscommunication and how to get it.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah. I think the problem also is is that a
lot of them are waiting for the opportunity rather than
actually going out there and getting it like she did.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
But look at you, you know what I'm saying, look
at look at you. You all the definition of some
a go get it, somebody that's going to make it. Yeah,
because she just she's that already technically did basically because
you went out to La by yourself.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Nobody helped, No mommy and daddy.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
None of that.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
You did it.
Speaker 5 (40:39):
I wish I would have been an Epple baby. It
would have been so much. Yeah. I mean, and I
see that a lot. I see that a lot in
my peers. You know, everybody's working really hard. It's just
it's one of those facts of life. You know, over
eighty percent of America is in debt above fifty grand,
and the average income of an American is about sixty
thousand dollars a year, so their debt is on most
(41:00):
the equivalent and will continue to rise because nobody's paying
it off in full. They're paying off the minimums each month,
and so it's kind of that that cycle that people
get stuck in, and there's a lot of opportunity out
there if you can get above that. Like some of
those little barriers, all those little things are just you know, hard.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
It's going to get better because you're going to see
a lot of things transpire in the next couple of years.
So you're going to see a lot of what they
say with the inflation and the debt. I don't want
to get too much on politics, but there's just a
lot of I always say, dead weight in this country.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
When they get rid of that.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
It's going to even out. Because I already know all
that because I put that word in the song.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
There's a meaning for everything.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, but that's why I said that. Okay, I'm just saying,
you know, I listen, I listened to lyrics.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
I'm just saying, but there's.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Gonna be a lot of dead weight.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
When when the dead weight leaves is going to change
the whole economy and the whole surrounding and things are
going to start going lower again.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
But I always believe, oh you already know, Uncle Sam
always wants his money.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
Sam's always going to get it too. That's the one
part about it. You can almost guarantee the what is it,
the two guarantees in life or death and taxes, It'll happen, right, She's.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Got that, and that's why. But anyway, so, how do
you feel right now? Right? What is your goals for
five years down the road for you to accomplish to yourself?
Speaker 5 (42:28):
Myself my goals right now, I'm heavily focused on music.
I really want to get to the point where I'm
able to tour and do full shows. I mean, as
you guys know, I'm a dancer. So I love performing
and I love being able to do both. And that's
why a lot of my songs I make them with
that in mind. As I'm writing the music, I'm like, okay, this,
(42:49):
I need this to be more of a dancy something
like I can see this on stage. I want this
moment here, So I really want to get to the
point where I'm getting to do those big tours and
get out out there and connect with people. But overall,
I'm I mean, like I said, I write music because
I want to. I have something to say, and so
I want to write music out there that can give
somebody a little nugget that is fun, it's dancy, it's catchy,
(43:12):
but it's something that they can relate to and maybe
it's something that they can carry with them. And so
I want to create like that little space that people
just want to kind of crawl inside of and live
in for even for just a minute, because that's really
what music is. It's it is something that helps us
all feel whatever emotion is that we're going through. So
I want to expand that audience and be able to
(43:33):
reach more people with that and have people that will,
you know, come want to see that live and enjoy
the live shows and come party with me. It is
the goal. I want to keep making music and keep
writing about things that people want to hear about, they
want to sing along to and dance along too. And
I hope in like five years from now, you guys
are gonna be like, oh my gosh, Maddie Mayo. He
(43:55):
had her on five. You call that girl up, like up,
that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
No, I believe it.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Your music is uh, I was telling her on break.
I was just like very impressed because, you know, no offense.
They get a lot of people. They give us demo,
they give us singles and all that, and they always
say you'll take a look at it.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
We stop you and she denies it every five seconds.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
No, let me just stop you right there. Because if
it wasn't for the relationship that I have just garnered
with two very special individuals. Okay, one of them is
Howard and another one is Barry, and they have gave
us this output of really talented individuals.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Oh absolutely, Okay. They've been hitting it on the dot.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
They've been hitting it on the mark every week. So
every time every week, you know, I talk to Howie
and stuff, and I'm like, Okay, who we got next,
you know, I'm like, what we got next, Howard. It's
just like, I'm enjoying this journey with these guys because
they're bringing people who are just stars, who are just
(45:04):
so talented, and it's like it's such a pleasure when
he's like, you know, the first night of Howard. Oh
you're gonna love her. Oh you're gonna love her. And
I'm like, okay, throw her over here, you know. And
that's all he's been doing. And I'm just how could
you not be happy with these people?
Speaker 2 (45:20):
You know what I'm saying, I'm very happy. I got
a girl who.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Sings, who dances. She's funny, she's you know, she's comical.
She takes my jokes. You know, she's good.
Speaker 5 (45:29):
I love her.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Now, everybody that he's been bringing into is very professional,
and they really love their craft.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
You know, it's not even that about loving their craft,
it's just hold up. But they're so genuine that.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
But I'm saying they're very professional. But then they do.
They're very professional and they're serious.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
They are so serious.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
That's why I love having He said, but artist is
on here, because it's like everybody watching, anybody listening. You know,
you have an artist that basically been starving for this,
left the house and is still doing.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
An amazing job. I can't even believe you had three jobs.
Speaker 5 (46:07):
Oh man, I had. I had seven. At one point
before I moved. I was I was waitressing at two
different places. I was nannying, I was teaching dance, I
was teaching voice, I was working at a clothing store,
and then I had like another like music sort of thing.
I led worship for my local church on Sundays and
(46:29):
did like the kids ministry thing, and so I had
seven different jobs that I was doing at one time.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
She just she at work both of us.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Just now, are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (46:40):
She just did both only the only time in my
life I think I would have the energy for that?
Was it? Eighteen years old?
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Slapped us around?
Speaker 5 (46:47):
Know that right?
Speaker 1 (46:48):
She just slapped us around.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
What you got?
Speaker 1 (46:51):
She just slapped us.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I had none.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
She slapped it, slapped us once. She slapped us twice.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
Man, she smacked us, did the whole freaking thing.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
Went back like She's like, yo, she just took care
of us.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
She just gave us.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
You know that what do you call that? Slam dunk
kind of thing? And wrestling just like to the floor.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
I forgot what you call them? Man's suplexed?
Speaker 1 (47:13):
She is, she's superlex us. Is that what she did? Okay?
But you know her song her themes are more about
like like observations of day to day life, right and
uh mental hellness, mental health and wellness, you know, illness.
Yes see, she's good man. She's she's quicker than I am.
(47:36):
I mean, you know, she's really good man. I'm telling you.
I'm just saying she's really good at that. She's catching
my mistakes.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
And me and her usually do like, who can we
compare you to this? Nobody else?
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Okay, I can compare.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Okay, I can't.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
You can't compare.
Speaker 5 (47:53):
Give me somethings. People always ask this question, and I
feel like I make my own comparisons. But that's my
my perception of me. So give me yours.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
I need to hear these, and maybe I don't want
to tell you right now. Oh wait, he's gonna say no, okay, now, okay,
now on the paper across the table. No, It's like
we're in like a greade school. Don't you can just
say it? You don't have to write it?
Speaker 2 (48:17):
All right?
Speaker 3 (48:17):
So my question to you is, right, do you feel
like that's more of like a K pop kind of
sound or a pop kind of sound?
Speaker 5 (48:26):
You know, I'm not really somebody who listens to a
lot of K pop, which it is kind of wild
to come out of my mouth as somebody who really
loves pop music. I feel like I don't listen to
a lot of K pop, so I have a hard
time comparing myself to that, but I do think that
it does have a lot of the same comparisons. My producer,
his name is Tomza. He uh, he writes a lot
of he does a lot of hyper pop type music,
(48:49):
and I always am trying to pull him back to
like the earlier, like twenty tens type pop music, And
so we get this little mesh of both, which is
kind of why we land right there on that sound.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
I got one you know what when she was singing,
she read, I don't know the name of the lead
singer on the on the group, but we're talking about
remember this the group the Jets. What I'm just saying, Okay,
you don't you may not remember.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Them, all right, ladies and gentlemen, Okay, minn.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Never too you found out. I gotta crustion she has
that she has that sweet, you know, penetrating voice.
Speaker 2 (49:39):
I can't compare her like I was trying to think.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
It's not that I was trying to think of the
people like with like you know that type melody, and
only that dawned on me was a couple of K
K pop singers well, and and to me, I'm like, Na,
she doesn't sound like any of.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
That because her tone is way different than they, a.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Little bit of a just a tad.
Speaker 5 (50:02):
I will take that. Hold on, hold on, let's get
the high pony and there you go. Here's too short.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
If you listen to I could see that.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
You know, I was thinking that too, But I was
kind of like thinking a little bit more when Arianna
first came out. And see, like as you see, Irihanna
has been in the game now for a long time, right,
but when she first came out, that's what she reminds
me of. When she first came out, she was like, Yeah,
I'm telling you, if you listen to that song by
(50:35):
the Jets, you can hear Maddie, Oh.
Speaker 2 (50:38):
I know what song you're saying. Yeah, yeah, I definitely agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
I've never been making I've never been very legendary.
Speaker 2 (50:52):
I'm just saying, just wow, that's crazy. That's really good air.
That was a really good air. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
I know for me to be stopped and look like
I got nobody on that one, I know, I know,
because it's not it's not just about I'm not about
comparing you to the actual singer. It's just the feeling
I get, the type of tone of the tone that
you're right, It's like, that's what when I when I
heard you, that's who I. It threw me back to
(51:19):
that time. And and let me tell you, if you
can be if you can sound to me like who
I grew up with. Those people were very seasoned back then. Okay,
they're not as seasoned as they are now.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
Absolutely not. They got something called udotone that always says them.
But anyway, yes, this is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (51:41):
Everybody uses a little bit of melanzine. It happens.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Yeah, but you know what, it's just like it's very
authentic in you, and we like your music. So that's it.
Speaker 5 (51:50):
Thank you, thank you. I'm glad you do.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Listen. You wouldn't be here if we didn't. Okay, I
trust that. I trust that. We've had a couple of nightmares.
Let me just say something. Not now when we first started,
you know, and then I said, you know what, baby,
we got to be like other people. We got to
like vet and you know, really know what the person's
(52:17):
about and what they're doing, and you know what kind
of music and stuff, because you know, we want everybody
to watch the show and actually enjoy it, you know,
so thank you very much for having you know, for
coming on and everything. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
It's been a love honestly, man, it's been a lovely show. Yeah,
and you definitely should be inspiring the young people that
are coming up to have your hustle.
Speaker 1 (52:42):
Oh if they had your hustle, girl, m m m,
they had her hustle, I.
Speaker 5 (52:46):
Know they didn't stay out of it. I'll I don't
want the competition. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
Honestly, you really break it down, you really break it down.
There's only a handful of people that have your hustle.
Because this is how I look at it. Right in music,
let's say about probably thirty percent of people probably are
serious about this as a career. Yeah, that's why you've
seen all the time, one year later somebody falling off,
(53:14):
another year, someone falling off, another year, somebody leaving.
Speaker 2 (53:19):
Is I always felt that way?
Speaker 3 (53:20):
And then now break the margin of being a workhorse,
that's ten percent right then and there, Boom's only ten
percent in the world. Who I ever seen that a
straight a workhorses that will sleep in the studio as
a studio rat or.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
Have seven jobs or have seven jobs.
Speaker 2 (53:35):
Yeah, yeah, you're very that's very lightly, very rare, very.
Speaker 3 (53:39):
Very That's why I know your work ethic is gonna
make you become probably one of the greatest artists we
ever seen.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
But you know remember that, Yeah, as long it's not
you know what it is. You can't predict exactly what's
going to happen in everybody's future, but you you have
to make your future. You can't assume that the future
is gonna come into your hands and it's gonna you know,
it's gonna be rainbows and ponytails. Right, If you want
(54:11):
something so badly, you got to go out and get it.
And that's it. That's all I gotta say, Right, I.
Speaker 2 (54:17):
Had nothing else that, you know what I mean. That's
basically what you gotta do. All you have to do
is keep doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
When you're doing putting out these TikTok videos, pushing yourself,
you're probably seeing the beginning me sitting there going like
this with the camera going like they're looking my poor
producers looking at me like I'm weird, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
But you gotta have that hustle. Yeah, you don't have
that hustle. You're not familiar. People don't know what you're doing.
How you gonna make it? How do you gonna make it?
With nobody even know who you are in your single?
Speaker 6 (54:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (54:46):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (54:48):
No one's coming to save you. Uh, that's that's part
of life. Do it yourself.
Speaker 2 (54:53):
