time I turn on the news, everybody else got the thang.

Speaker 8 (04:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Well, well, well, well you've been in the bed being
very very busy. So you know, I like, I like
to start off the show just feeling give you a
little platform. You know, I got a whole bunch of
questions therefore, but I like for the artists to kind
of tell our listeners a little bit about you, you know,
because they want to hear from you. They don't want

(05:06):
to hear from me so much. They hear from me
all the time, but they want to hear a little
bit about you. So let's start with, Uh, I do
have a question, darn I said, ione don't do that, listen,
Let's start. Let's start with how you get here?

Speaker 11 (05:22):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Were you one of those little what you call it
child prodigies that you know when you started a crawl,
you started singing, or you know, tell us how you
get here? You get music into school, your parents and
the beiz, you know, all that kind of good stuff.

Speaker 6 (05:39):
I don't know if I necessarily call myself a child prodigy.
But my parents have definitely said that I've been singing
for a very long time. Not if I've been singing
well for a long time, who knows. But for the
last couple of years I kind of just started working
on it a little bit more, recognizing that it was
something I really enjoyed doing. And so I was, you know,

(06:02):
getting vocal coaches and talking to people in the industry,
and a really awesome vocal coach of mine named Joseph
Conti gave me the opportunity to make an album with him,
and through the support of him, the musicians that he knew,
my parents, and everyone around me, I was able to
create my first album. And that kind of was the

(06:23):
thing that started at all because that experience really let
me know that, oh, this is really what I want
to do. It wasn't just something I liked doing. This
is a genuine passion. So I'm very grateful for that
opportunity because it's kind of just continued on since then,
I mean, with singles after that, more albums, meeting tons
of new people, moving to LA It's been a crazy journey,

(06:46):
but it's been really fun.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Where are you from? I raised, really.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
I grew up a good chunk in Portland. I was
born in Washington and moved to Minnesota for a bit,
but Sortland's really where the music kind of started.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Okay, So when you found out that you want to
do music, I mean, because it look like you're doing
so many other things. I mean, not only you're an artist,
but you know your model. Yeah, which one did you
prefer the best? There wasn't any such thing.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
It's hard to say. They're kind of all equal. I
think I'll have a special spot for music always because
it was kind of the first thing. It was the
start of everything. Music led to modeling, which also led
to acting. So if I had to say which one
I liked more, probably would your music. But they're all
pretty equal.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
You know.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
That really was a fair question, Josephine. I'm gonna follow
on the nail for that one because you write in
the sense that every actor I know, except for maybe
very very very few, I want to get in front
of the camera. Uh you know such you know, such
as what happened with me? You know, you're just want

(08:05):
to get in the camera and vice versa, you know
what I mean. And you never see a movie, film, TV, sitcom,
commercial or anything without some type of music in it nowadays.

Speaker 9 (08:18):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
So so that's definitely a natural synergy that's kind of
hard to get away from. And then and then on
top of that, you know, if you're a beautiful ladies
such as yourself, then the modeling is just almost like
a given, you know what I mean. They want you
somebody wants you to advertise something. They close, they popcorn,

(08:40):
they want you to advertise something for them, you know
what I mean. Yeah, it's kind of hard to get
around that one, you know. And you know that being said,
you know you had some great experiences, you know, yes,
attending the Grammy and being named. So tell us a

(09:01):
little bit about that before we get to your music.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
Okay, Yeah, that was a crazy experience. My manager, she's
very well connected and she knew some people that were
able to get us into the Grammys, which was something
that I never thought would happen this early because I
had like just moved to LA and then a few

(09:24):
months later it's like, oh, We're going to the Grammys,
which was insane. That was a really really fun experience.
It was this mix of being unreal but also what
it was like it felt right mixed with what am
I doing here?

Speaker 7 (09:43):
Right?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
I supposed to be here, This is what I supposed
to be.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
That was the biggest feeling, But there was still that
small feeling of wow, this is insane. This is something
I've only ever seen on TV. But that was it
was really cool being able to see all the people,
especially being able to see the behind the scenes that
I found was very interesting, talk to some really nice people.
Every single person I met was very kind, and it

(10:12):
just kind of an overall good night, Right.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
I could imagine that's where everybody. Everybody's what am I
trying to say? Everybody's creative, and that the aura is
kind of like unchecked. It's just out there because even
to see a lot of people that you met, you
probably don't know all of everything that they do, and

(10:39):
they know that since you was there, you had to
be somebody. Either you're somebody or you know somebody that somebody,
but you're just not there because you have no place
else to go. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, you're
just not there because you're just going down the streets,
say ah, let me just go in there. You had
to be there for reasons, Yes, you had to be

(11:01):
there for a reason. So what about the best Dressed list?
What was that about?

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Oh? That was that was crazy. I never expected that.
I just we worked with a really awesome team and
work together to just come up with an outfit that
I really really enjoyed and that was also comfortable. That
was a big part. And so to find out that
I was put on a best dressed list afterwards was

(11:29):
kind of insane because that it was kind of like
a little goal of mine, but it was never a
serious goal necessarily. It was like, oh, it'd be cool
to be on those lists, but you know, we'll see
what happened. And so for its actually happened was crazy.
And so I'm so thankful for my team that really
helped me out with my whole look that night.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well it's important that and great that you mentioned your team,
because you know, it's a lot of artists here that's
you know, trying to make it without a team, and
they just really don't know how difficult you know it is.
You know, it's a full time job just being an artist,
for sure, but then if you got to turn around
and try to handle business, you know, it's it's crazy,

(12:18):
you know, it gets it gets overwhelming at some point
you know, so how much you split yourself a whole
bunch of different ways, and at the end of the day,
it does kind of take away from you being that
great artist, because most great artists that I know, you know,
ninety eight point percent of their time, you know, either
they're practicing or rehearsing, right, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
And I definitely found that out because in the beginning,
I kind of I was trying to figure out a
way to do as much as I could because I
wanted to. I don't know, I just I just wanted
to be the one that could do it all. And
then you find out there rarely can you be the
one that can do it all. It's so much better

(13:01):
and so much nicer and relaxing to have good people
around you who can support you more efficiently and more
professionally than you could as well. So it's better's your
career in the long run anyway, Oh.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Absolutely, cause it just freeze you up to be all
that you can be. Yeah, that's definitely, definitely, definitely great thing.
How important do you feel social networking is with the
establishing uh your career going forward, cause a lot of people,
well a lot of old school artists that are not

(13:35):
really computer literate, and they don't deal with a lot
of social networking.

Speaker 10 (13:41):
And I know the way the record industry has changed,
you know, they focus a lot more on uh social networking,
you know, Twitter, you know, Facebook, YouTube, and.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
And so forth. So how how important do you feel
that is?

Speaker 7 (13:59):
Well?

Speaker 6 (14:00):
Well, to be honest, I'm kind of like an outlier
as far as being an eighteen year old, and I
don't really like social media. I've never really I don't
dislike it, but it's never really been my thing, and
so to me personally, I wish it wasn't as important,
but it definitely is because it's pretty much every person

(14:20):
that I've met and advisors and people in the industry
have stressed the importance that your social media presence is
a big deal. And I know, something that I do
like about social media is the ability to connect with
the people that like your music, because I feel like
it was harder to connect with all those people before,

(14:45):
but now, you know, you put out a post and
you've got comments, you can respond to the comments and
maybe make someone's day, or to respond to some direct messages,
and that part I think is really really cool, kind
of bringing the community together. Where is the business aspect
of it goes. I don't really like it that much,
but it's definitely a big part of it now.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Right Well, I know a lot of major companies they
don't even have an our department nomore, so they really
don't have actual physical bodies going all over places, you know,
looking to discover somebody or seeing performing or playing somebody.
Now they just go on the Internet and let their
fingers do the walk.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
Yeah. It can definitely be a blessing and a curse, oh.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
No question.

Speaker 9 (15:37):
You know.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
The good part about it is, like you said, you
could touch people that you normally wouldn't come in contact with.
But the flip side of that is if you're a
great artist and you wasn't really socially social media motivated
and you didn't really have a good team, you know,

(16:00):
it could be harmful because I see a lot of
great artists kind of fall through the crack only because
they don't have a team in place.

Speaker 6 (16:08):
Yeah, you also can get lost in the algorithm, which
is really difficult because there's so many people out there
that maybe don't have a huge following, but they're really
really good. But I don't think a lot of the
bigger name companies or the people searching talent look at
certain followers and below. Which that's the part that I

(16:29):
don't like as much, is that the numbers have such
a significance.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
So I agree, because if your numbers are impressive enough,
then they want to see you, check you out here
and find out what you're really about. But then if
your numbers aren't impressive, you know, like you said, they
don't really look. And that's when a lot of great
artists fall through the crack or you know, it takes
them longer to get the attention that they need, especially

(16:57):
nowadays because it's becoming more i mean fewer and fewer
places to actually perform until you get on a certain level.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
Place is ask for your social media every single time,
Like you go to a venue, they're like, well, how
many followers do you have? How many people can you
bring in? How many of this? It's all the numbers.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
It's not eve insane, definitely, because they trying to see
if you're gonna be able to fill some of those
seats or not. Yep, that's nine times. Yeah, when they
ask you how much of your tickets, you know they
pretty much know. And then they'll ask you all those questions,
how much are your tickets? You know how much you're
spending on radio, and so on and so forth, and

(17:39):
then then they figure out how many seats they got,
and then they pretty much you know how much money
you're gonna make before you do.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
Yep, it's crazy. It's definitely a number.

Speaker 12 (17:51):
Is in a money game?

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yes, yes, but then the great ones, great ones slide
on through. Well, I was looking at I was looking
at your topic inspiration from a current relationship? Is that
the name of the project or is that for your
songs derived from?

Speaker 6 (18:13):
It's kind of where my songs are deriving from at
the moment.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Well, at least we know they're not blues, true, because
a lot of relationships that don't go the right way
to being she's took my dog, she took my dog.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
Yeah, I've been I've been lucky in the fact that
my relationship's going pretty strong.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
It's oh, that's.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
That's definitely a fantastic thing. So your new album is called.

Speaker 6 (18:51):
What the one that just released?

Speaker 8 (18:56):
Mhm uh.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
It's a zoology albums, So it's two songs slow Down
and Falling with a ass of the titles.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Well, we have actually those queued up and we're gonna
let our listeners put their air on that, and then
we could talk about production and all that good stuff.
And I actually know the production was great because I
listened to them earlier. But Showdown is the new single, correct, yep? Yeah,

(19:30):
Well we're gonna say the best to last, not that
any of them are great anyway, but since that's your
new single, we're gonna say that one to last because
that's the one we want our listeners to remember, since
that's the one we're working with right now, right, m okay,
So how about number one seaturin what is it? Wavy Baby? Oh?

Speaker 6 (19:54):
Yeah, Kyrie and Wavy Baby?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yeah? All right, everyone, you know the drill, Let the
windows down, turn the air conditioning up, and put your
ears on this. This isseph ain't rarely.

Speaker 9 (22:36):
Be with you, no, I think because.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I say.

Speaker 14 (22:52):
So.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Yeah, we're back in the studio with Missus Josepha. That's
a nice song. Thank you, And how how did you
put that one together? Was that one of your creations
when you're sitting around just in a move? Tell us
about that one.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
Well, that one came about because I was in the
studio with Kyrie and Wavy Baby and we were kind
of messing around with different different sounds, different beats, just
kind of finding what felt right, and the chorus is
what came up first, and then we kind of built
everything around that and it was really really fun because

(23:39):
we were able to kind of knock it out in
only like maybe two three sessions, but it was a
really really fun experience. It's just kind of a good,
feel good, fun song, and it was a really enjoyable time.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yeah, you could always tell when it's magic, you know,
when stuff just come together like that effortlessly and you
you have to overthink it. It just kind of like flow.
M Yeah, that was one of those kind of songs,
you know, in great production. You know, I'm spoiled, so
always kind of I try not to really critique music

(24:19):
but just enjoy it. But it's almost like if you
were a baker going to a bacon show all the time.
Sometimes you don't really work through it because that's what
you do, you know.

Speaker 9 (24:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
So as an artist, Josephine, would you kind what genre
would you classify your music in or would you.

Speaker 6 (24:47):
I tend to say that I don't really have a genre,
to be honest, just because I don't really keep my
writing in one place. I let whatever I write and
whatever comes to mind kind of just go wherever it
wants to, which can result in kind of a mix

(25:08):
of different genres and different sounds, of different vibes. So
a lot of the time I kind of just say
whenever and whatever or whatever whenever.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Yeah, well that's great on a lot of levels. The
highest level is that you don't pigeon hole yourself.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
Yeah that is so true, so true.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
So listen, which songs do you have? You have videos
to all these songs.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
I have a music video for the last one we
just listened to.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (25:52):
The other ones have little snippet videos, but not full
music videos.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
See what else do we I want to know that
I didn't ask you already, That's okay, but I want
to ask no more questions. Well, play some more music.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
How's that.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
All right?

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Oh, let's go with uh, let's go with falling?

Speaker 6 (26:20):
How's that sounds good?

Speaker 4 (26:24):
How did you put that one together the same way?
Or it's something special?

Speaker 6 (26:30):
That one was a little bit different that one. I
uh that when I was sitting down and writing before
going into the studio. I had an idea for that
one before I went in.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
Okay, I was just wondering if it was a special
thing that occurred.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
To uh oh.

Speaker 12 (26:50):
A little bit.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Yeah, kind of talking about I'm being nosy, Josephine, I'm being.

Speaker 11 (26:56):
Nosy, Come on now, no worries.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
Yeah, that one talks about how I kind of ended
up with the person that I'm currently with, And I
kind of call it like a mixed love song because
at the time I wasn't really actively searching for a
relationship and I didn't necessarily even want one, but then
he showed up and it kind of just ended up

(27:21):
working out, and so it's kind of like my mixed
feelings going into it. But how at the end, I'm
actually very grateful for it and I'm glad it happened.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Homeboy left out for everybody.
You know the drill, you know, let the one who's
down turned the air conditioned it up and put your
ears on this. This is falling, This is Joseph Rally.

Speaker 11 (31:38):
The mind can make a pion bout a minute when
the time time.

Speaker 8 (31:50):
M indeed, raise.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
And way and it way, Yeah we're back quit elsea famae.
That was a great fantastic song. Or be nosy again?
Does he knows he was the inspiration for that?

Speaker 6 (32:05):
Song he does.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah, I bet every time you hear he just busts
out in a big old smile. Yeah, that's all right,
that's all right. So what's what's next for you, Josephine.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
Well, it's a little hard to say, just because of
the way that everything's going with quarantines. I mean, you've
got a lot of ideas. Definitely more songs coming out.
We're wanting to do more music videos a lot. We've
been wanting to do a lot with collaborations as well. Uh,
I can't really say when because of I don't really

(32:49):
know when.

Speaker 12 (32:50):
To be quite honest, I was gonna.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Ask you too, how is everything that's going out in
the world. How is that affecting you musically?

Speaker 6 (33:00):
Oh, it's definitely definitely affecting things because it's it's just
one of those things where you're not quite sure, like
should I go in the studio? Should I not? Like
it doesn't feel quite right to do it yet, and
so it's kind of everything's been kind of a holding
pattern because everyone's quarantining and kind of staying home, and so,

(33:24):
you know, we can do what we can online, but
I can't really get together and have a whole production
crew and film a video or get together and have
a whole crew in the studio. So those types of
things are on hold.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
But that's definitely definitely feel safe because I was reading
something from SAG the other day where you know, some
productions have started trying to open up slowly, but they
want the actors to sign waivers.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of crazy.

Speaker 9 (34:00):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
It's like, if you work, if you get sick, that's
your fault, not ours. Yeah, that's real crazy.

Speaker 9 (34:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (34:10):
I just know I don't want to do anything that's
going to get somebody else sick, so.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
Or for yourself, for yourself, because that's what I'm thinking about. Yeah, okay,
I'd like to go back and film and work on
another production. But is it the cost of your health?
I mean, is it really worth it at the end
of the day.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
Probably not. I mean, if it's only gonna you're only
gonna put it off for like maybe a year, maybe
a little over a year. Health is more important because
then you're going to be here for years to come exactly.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
And that's pretty much my thinking too, because you know,
all money is not good money. Yeah, it's great to
go make a movie for somebody and then I was
trying to figure out the logistics because they were saying, uh,
they're gonna have different zones for different actors, you know,
And I'm like, oh, okay, so I'm trying to figure
out how you're gonna film anything and do social distancing

(35:09):
and have a mask on at the same time, unless
you're doing some type of horror movie, and that would
be interesting. I just thought about that, doing a sci
fi horror movie and everybody wear different.

Speaker 6 (35:21):
Masks and everyone's.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, it's it's gonna be interesting to see. You know,
Holly would pull that off. But then you know they
probably end up doing a whole bunch of CGI stuff.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
True.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
You know they can take five people and make five
thousand real easy.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
Yeah, definitely. And I've got the access to that stuff.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
Well yeah, he Look, especially when you're quarantining and too
y'all you can do is sit up in front of
your computer and play with your toys, especially if.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
That's what you do.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yeah, who are some of your artists that you listened
to when you're not doing your thing.

Speaker 6 (36:07):
I listened to a lot of artists. I really really
like the fifties and the sixties, and so I listened
to a lot of Jackie Wilson and Ray Charles, and
I guess for modern artists, I listened to a lot
of Sam Smith. I really like her.

Speaker 12 (36:29):
Else it's quite a good amount. I think my heart
really lies though, kind of in the fifties.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
So that was the good choice. Good choice, Yeah, good choice.
And I can kind of tell with your your vocal style.
You know, you're one of those artists that they can
put on a milk crate and you could hold your
own versus some of these other artists that they're actually

(37:02):
studio produced. If you understand the different you know, it's
it's a great thing when you could just sing, and
I guess in the studio you can punch in, putch out.
You know, you can cut, you can do this a
thousand different times, and once you say it a thousand
different times, by the time you get to the stage,

(37:22):
you should know it, right.

Speaker 8 (37:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (37:28):
I definitely the authentic sound kind of like things to
be a little bit more stripped back and really what
the true sound of things with vocals. And also I
really really love live instruments. I like I'm through.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Oh girl, Yeah, your head is definitely the right place.
I could tell that too, because I see a lot
of times too. I really don't care for digital that
much because that's not the era that I came from.
I came from live instruments too, And sometimes you know,
when when a song is well, a track is digitally produced,

(38:09):
it's it's almost like a hospital. It's just too clean,
you know what I mean, It's just just too clean.

Speaker 8 (38:18):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 6 (38:20):
Sometimes those little mistakes end up being the little nuances
that make the song so much better.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The live bass, or
you can hear a guy's fingers running down the strings,
you know, just different, just different stuff, you know that
you could really feel in the song. You know, it's
just like I said, not too clean. It's too clean

(38:49):
digital sound. I like to hear the instruments when the
whole track sounds fat as a term that we used
to use to.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
Yeah, I definitely like a mix of both.

Speaker 7 (39:04):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (39:05):
I know.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
Recently I've been diving into the world of more electronically
produced sounds and music, but for a long time when
I was doing music solely in Portland, pretty much everything
was just live instruments. So I definitely want to blend
the two together.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
So if you had a choice in your performance, your
stage thing. Would you like doing track dates opposed to
having a.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
Live band, No, I'd do a band. It's something about
it having people with you, just it's easier to get
the energy.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
Well, the fun part about it is you can tell
them to break it down, to bring it up, or
stop and talk and engage with the audience whatever you want.
When you have live yeah, it's it's kind of hard
to do that if you know, you just perform into
a track, you know.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
So do you play yourself?

Speaker 6 (40:17):
Jabble a little bit. I wouldn't necessarily say that I
play any other instruments because I haven't sat down and
really worked on them like I have with vocals. But
I do dabble and kind of guitar and piano, a
little bit of drums and bass, mainly for the sake
of writing though, if I can understand the instrument enough
to figure out what the sound is that I want

(40:38):
to go with my songs.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Okay, do you find uh since you left Portland and
came to LA, do you see that I feel like
the music scene has been any different or is it
the same to you?

Speaker 6 (40:54):
I think it's pretty different. Portland's music scene is a
little bit smaller. It's a little bit more just a
smaller group. I feel like towards the as the closer
I got to my moving gate, the more that I
was realizing that, like I had played at pretty much

(41:14):
all the places I could play at in Portland, I
had met and talked to a lot of the more
well known people in Portland as well. So I feel
like I kind of went through it all and I
was definitely needing more because there wasn't really much more
to do. So not to say that the music scene
here is not good, it's just definitely so much smaller

(41:38):
compared to LA because there's so many people in LA,
so many different sounds, and you can find your lane
and or you can go down multiple lanes if you
don't have a specific one, and it's just way more open.
There's always something new around the corner, which is really enjoyable.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Yeah, it seems like you've been around the block there
in Portland, so you know everybody that it is to know,
and everybody know you. And I guess that is a
good thing because I kind of put together your core
fan base because for them, you're homegirl, you know what
I mean? No matter how big you get in the world,
to them, you know, you're still going to be their

(42:22):
homegirl because they knew you when m h.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
Yeah, it gives me a place to always come back
to you if I want to chill.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Yeah, that's always a great thing and its good place
to be. So everything we didn't touch, everything except about
your interests in creating your own clothing line.

Speaker 7 (42:47):
Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (42:51):
I definitely. I really like fashion. That's another like passion
of mine. It's one of the things that kind of
led me to want to model is that I kind
of like creating. Well I create something, I like to
create it in its entirety. So if I have a
music video, I like to figure out what I'm wearing
for it, and because I feel like everything can compliment

(43:14):
everything else, and so that's kind of one of the
biggest things that led me to wanting to create that.
But I also personally, I am very like a huge
fan of suits. I really really like suits. But something
that I've found is that it's like extremely hard to

(43:34):
find good women's suits that aren't frilly or weirdly cut
or not ridiculously expensive. And so I kind of wanted
to create a line that would kind of give me
the thing that I was missing because I figured, all right, well,
if I'm missing this, then I'm kind of struggling to

(43:54):
find this. There's got to be somebody out there thinking
the same way. I don't know when that'll be or
when that'll get into creation, but hopefully soon.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
I know Ellen DeGeneres always want new suits.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
Yeah, first, these are probably very expensive, well fit tailored.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
Well, I'm sure. But then there's always room for you,
that's for sure. And it's basically with what you're doing,
because one door opens up another door. What did you
do for What did you do for Macy's? Oh?

Speaker 6 (44:37):
I did a little a fashion event for them, a
modeling fashion event. Was looking at it was like a
prom based theme thing. It's pretty fun, a little bit
more small, a little bit more local, but pretty enjoyable.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
I bet you had some designs to look bad in there, Hu.

Speaker 6 (45:00):
I definitely had some in mind when I was seeing
some of them.

Speaker 7 (45:03):
For sure.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
Oh, you're wondering how did they get there?

Speaker 6 (45:09):
A little?

Speaker 4 (45:12):
Would you say, a little? Okay, that's great, that's great.
At least you'd be a modest You just don't want
to put them on blast, So talk to us were
down to let me see slow down now, talk to

(45:32):
us about that. How did that come about? What's about?
What was the inspiration and tell us about that one.

Speaker 6 (45:41):
Well, slow down kind of had a similar inspiration to
falling as far as it was an aspect of my
current relationship that I was thinking about, but it was
more so talking about.

Speaker 8 (45:56):
Kind of.

Speaker 6 (45:58):
Just slowing down and not letting a whirlwind of maybe
other people's opinions or what's supposed to be or just
personal second guessing or thoughts that might be getting in
the way, and to just slow down and to just

(46:20):
keep communicating and just it's together like a team, so
we can just kind of keep going and keep it
very open and together.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
Well, I think that's mighty fine inspiration too, in words
for everybody to hear. So that's what we're going to do, everybody,
you know the drill, let the windows down, turn the
air condition up, and put your ears on this Miss
Josephine Rally And this is called slow down.

Speaker 16 (47:05):
To feel honest, quiet, honest.

Speaker 8 (47:13):
That's a change for you, it's a change for me.
It's by honest, tell me be honest.

My Yeah, we're back with Josephine rally and that will

do your own production, Josephine, have you got a production crew?

Speaker 6 (51:34):
I have uh an engineer that I work with. His
name is Halfe. Hafe mixed it and we kind of
he kind of works on production alongside me. So it's
a it's a mix of.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
Both god like production and the vocals is on point two.
It's a great, great mix.

Speaker 6 (51:59):
Oh yeah, he's amazing.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
Yeah, it was definitely great to mix. So I like
that feel as well, good rioting music. So, Jolosephine, be quiet,
but I want you to tell all our listeners where
they can go get your stuff.

Speaker 6 (52:21):
All right, Well, I am on iTunes, Spotify, pretty much
every where you can stream music at Josephine Relly, also
on Instagram at Josephine Relly. And I have my website
which is Josephinerelly dot com which has all of those links.
Videos and more.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
Did I justphine, did I ask you were you appearing
anywhere locally anytime soon?

Speaker 6 (52:50):
You did not, And the answer to that would be no, not,
not anytime super soon. At least, nothing is scheduled for
them at the moment. We're kind of seeming to see
if there's anything open that we can do, but kind
of a mixed bag.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
Okay, I just wonder if you're performing somewhere, you know,
so we can come out and support, well, we can
come out and see you.

Speaker 6 (53:23):
Yeah, I wish I was. I wish I could tell
you one, because it's just I don't think a lot
of places.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
Are open, that's true. You know, some people contacted me
the other day about doing a live stream thing through
pay per view.

Speaker 6 (53:43):
You know.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
I guess that's gonna be the next thing for artists
can be, you know, doing that type thing so they
can still create some type of revenue. But they had
some pretty big names that was involved in it, and
I'm like, oh, okay, well maybe that's how things are
gonna be going for the next few days. But yeah,
we'll just we'll see. Is there any artists out there

(54:06):
that you'd like to collab with?

Speaker 6 (54:09):
Oh Man, Well, there's a lot that I can think of,
but I know that I kind of just enjoy collaborations
for collaboration's sake, because I feel like each person can
bring something super unique to the table, and so I

(54:30):
feel like a collaboration with anybody would be welcomed. But
obviously I've got my like the people that I really
look up to, Like a collaboration with Sam Smiths would
be amazing, and that's something that I've always really wanted
the dream for.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
Yeah, such great answers. I'm so proud of you, you know,
because I don't usually hear that. You know, I've dealt
with so many artists that had, you know, producers that
had them signed to a pretty much exclusive production deal,
and I thought that was kind of whack, because as
an artist, you would want to work with as many

(55:09):
different producers as possible, because each producer bring out something
different in you, definitely, And as an artist, why wouldn't
you want to be all that? You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (55:22):
Of course, anything can help you grow and help you
discover something new, and it's going to be a great experience.
Why would you limit it?

Speaker 4 (55:29):
Yeah, And that's exactly what that does. Like they get
stuck with the production situation and refuse to work with
anybody else, and before you know it, all your stuff
starts sounding alike. And that's great if you're already selling
millions and millions and millions of units. But if you're

(55:50):
just coming up the ladder, that's not such a good thing,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (55:55):
Yeah, definitely, that's not such a good thing.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
But Josephine, we down to the last few minutes. It
always flies when you're having fun. But we definitely enjoy
enjoyed you and enjoyed your music, and I want you
to feel free to come back anytime, and anytime you
got to show lined up, please, you know, let us know.

Speaker 6 (56:20):
Definitely, thank you for having me.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
Oh man, it's been great. I always like talking to
bright young stars that actually have talent. That always makes
it fun, you know, that actually have talent that's sound good.
I mean I should I'll probably get in trouble for
saying that, but I mean it's always a pleasure, you know,
to actually talk to somebody to have skills and know

(56:45):
what they're doing, know where they are, and know where
they want to go, and you're doing wonderful things. So
I definitely want to thank you for taking time out
and come in chatting with us and let us have
your music. Definitely, definitely all right, and we're gonna pay
attention and talk to you later, and we're gonna continue

(57:08):
to play your music from now on. And I want
to tell our listeners, if you join the show late,
there's no reason that you can't hear from its entirety
because it's available on all the platforms. And if you
forget how to get us, ask your mama to ask
your daddy to ask the man across the street to

(57:28):
work at the gas station. And if you don't know,
the guy at the grocery market may know. And then
if you don't know that, then I don't know what
to tell you. There's no reason that you cannot hear
the show and you won't be disappointed. How about that one?
All right? We'll be back next week, you know, the

(57:49):
same time, two pm PST. And I'm gonna play the
Everybody should together ready to this, and this is called
be thankful.
