time guest with a new epl right now called Maybe
Next Time. Welcome to the show, Christy Spratt, Thanks for

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't know, I have to finish this whole thing.
That's that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
You too strong, You're a body your choice, but we
would like you to it's a challenge. It's a challenge.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
So tell everyone about the flavor that you chose and
what do you think your chances are. It seems like
you're a little weary about actually finishing it. What tell
us about the flavor?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh yeah, this would make me sick if I had
to eat all of this.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And what flavor did you choose?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I chose like a chocolatey peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
M h.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Whoa look at these chunks.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, that's that's a sentence right there.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, brownie something or other.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
This looks.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
This secs pretty good though.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
All of our ice cream for season three is provided
by Eva's original chimneys. Want people in Toronto GTA, if
you don't know, get familiar and they have vegan flavors. Okay,
so all of you who are dairy free, they can
work for you as well. I want to actually go
back in time if we can. Okays, as far back
as is appropriate.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Now you talked about you started really getting into singing
in high school.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
A lot of singers I know have like almost like
a north star when it comes to singing, someone who
they either idolize or they kind of copy. Who's your
kind of north star as a singer, someone who's like,
you know, God to you as a singer.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Honestly, that was Destiny's child for me.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That it was crazy. I kind of knew that you
were going to say that, I'm not going to lie
to you. Really to be honest, I knew you were
going to say that, but I didn't want to bring
it up because my execute Deesney's Child fan and Ripeter
her we just didn't want to go down that road.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
But I had a feeling. I was like, yeah, you
feel like a DC fan to me.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah. I was a big, big DC fan Maya Brandy,
the Goats, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I had a huge argument in elementary school that Desney's
Child was the best band out And if you had
seen me argue at whatever, it was eleven years old,
They're like, they're not a band, they don't play instruments.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I'm like, the voice is an instrument. So I'm, oh,
my god, the best.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
How do you feel like they influenced your actually actual
singing style? Because I think sonically also your music is
very different from theirs, But in terms of how you
use your voice, how do you feel like they influenced you?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I think it's just listening to their music and singing
along with every everything, the melodies, the flow.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I guess when it came to like writing my own music,
maybe sort of like the topics, I just like, heavily,
heavily influenced in like all aspects.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy that we're in a time where
people don't know about Dustney's Child. I saw the Renaissance movie.
I think it was two years ago now, yeah, and
when she brought Dustney's Child, I'm the theater like yeah,
Like I like had a reaction and it was just me.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So it's kind of awkward. And I looked around, like
how old are you people?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I couldn't think they're iconic? Like how can you not know?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
No? I couldn't. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
And then kind of going forward because you had I
would say a career before this one, you know. And
in terms of like what you did before and doing music,
how would you describe what you were doing musically before
like preparing for this EP? Because I think this EP
is kind of its own special place, So how would
describe what you were doing musically before this EP?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I would say that before this EP, my music was
very pop R and B centered, And because in these
last few years, I've been heavily influenced by afrobe music,
I've kind of blended the two. So it's sort of
this fusion of yeah, okay, I still have like my
R and B melodies, but now I'm fusing it onto
(04:20):
like this different type of production. So just like the
two things like combined, I think it's like just creating
this like really cool different sound.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I'm so happy you said that. I learned described it
to my friend the exact same way. Really, I feel
like a genius right now.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh, I love that. I love that for me. I
love that for me.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
And why I think going into your past is important
because you had this big moment twenty nineteen opening for Snoop.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
What kind of.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Led up to that, Like what where were you at
in your career? What were you doing like painting the
picture for me? Take me to that place.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean, like I was. I had my YouTube channel,
I didn't have TikTok yet, had my Instagram page, and
I was just pumping out cover songs, doing like also
original music, and I was I was collaborating a lot,
working with different people in the industry, and this opportunity
sort of just like presented itself and I didn't actually
(05:14):
know what I was getting myself into. Like honestly, I
remember like getting to like the first Venue because it
was a four stop tour around Ontario, and I just
remember like getting to was it Peterborough? I think Peterborough
was the first stop, and I'm just like, oh, like
we're in We're in a stadium like this, you.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Like I'm like, oh, like it's big, and I'm like, obviously, duh,
it's Snoop Dogg, Like I should have put two new together.
But like you know, I'm just like going with the flow.
So here i am like doing the soundcheck on this
like massive stage and I'm just like wow, like this
is gonna be so crazy, Like these next like tour days,
these are gonna be crazy. But yeah, it was a vibe,
like it was really fun and like obviously like the
(05:57):
more you do it, you get a little bit more comfortable.
So like I was by like the third show, I
was like I got this.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'll never see you for the first one though, because
I had to be like almost a jump.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Scare, so nervous, so nervous, like even just like hanging
out backstage and like the mic is in my hand
and I'm like waiting for the queue to go up
the stairs. I'm just like, yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, I feel like you don't really feel it until
you're on the stage. That's when you're like, oh, this
is really really happening. And then as well, like so
I work at TIFF, and my first year at TIFF,
I had to do an intro, which usually you don't want.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That to happen.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
What's an intro.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Like introducing the film, introducing the actors, And it was
went on the really really big cinemas, you know, like
three thousand people something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And I'm I'm talking from the people. You know.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
My background is in theater, on the stage, hosting things. Yeah,
but when I got on that stage and I looked
up into the crowd, it was almost like whatever I
had to do and I was reading off my phone,
like it wasn't like I had to oh And as
soon as I looked up, I was like, oh my god,
they're all looking at me. So when you talk about
like doing these big stadiums, it's almost so different from
(07:09):
like knowing a lot of people being backstage. But once
you're on the stage, you're like, oh, this is really happening.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You know what it is. It's when, at least for me,
the anxiety comes from the anticipation. Yeah, but when you're
in the moment, like there's no choice. Like you're on
the stage, it's almost like you just sort of like
tap in and you're just doing your thing, and it's
almost like all of that anxiety disappear.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
You're being present.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, you're being present exactly Listen.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
That's it's key for someone.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think that that's like a lot of what anxiety
actually technically as defined as that, like worrying about the future.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So I think if you can find a way to
be present leading up to the thing, that's But I
heard you say this, which I thought was right. You said,
if you're not nervous or anxious, and that means you
don't care. Yeah, so I think there's something to that
because a lot of people say they still get nervous
and anxious no matter how many years they are in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Are you feeling that about the tour coming up? Because
you got you got to do in some some big rooms. Yeah,
So how are you feeling about this tour coming out?
Because people are going to be showing up for you. Now,
this is not for us to.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Exactly, this is for you.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's literally like my thought process on it. It's nerve
wracking because it's not it's not yet. It's on a
Snoop Dog tour, and people are, you know, like just there.
This is like no, people are coming like to see me,
like they're they're paying They're paying for tickets, you know,
with their hard earned money. So it's like I want
to make sure that I give them an experience and
(08:34):
I give them a show, something that you can walk
away from being like that was a really fun evening. Yes, yes,
you know, but there's a lot of prep going into it,
and I think that's making me a little bit more comfortable.
So I sort of like I know what I'm stepping into.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, So and again it's gonna be one of those
things like the more shows I do along this tour,
the more comfortable I'm gonna get with it. Yeah yeah,
but I am going to be I'm excited. I'm excited
to see like the evolution from like the show like
all the way to the last one.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I'm excited too because I feel like your first tours
that are yours is just so different because a lot
of artists, you're like, your first time doing big rooms
is not for you. People don't know who you are,
they're not there for you, And you got to still
kind of try and win them over, but it's like
they don't really care. They're there to see who they're
here to see. You're just here to fill the time
while they get drunk.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
They probably don't even know your music.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I think about that because I've seen so many really
really good artists as openers, Like I've seen Sir probably
three or four times as an opener, and now you
know he does his own shows. I remember seeing July
talk open for I saw Kendrick as an opener. So
it's like seeing these artists as openers, You're like, you
don't know who you're going to see, Like this could
be someone pretty cool. So I really like that. I
(09:49):
want to talk about the project now. Okay, I told
you off Mike what I was doing when the project
was on.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'm telling people, we're going to keep a secret. We're
going to keep it a secret. He is dancing, allegedly allegedly,
what was the first song that you created in building
the project? Like, what was the first one? They're like, hey,
this is and where we're starting at.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The first one? So okay, So I there's a few.
There's a few on this project that kind of were
created in the same studio session. So I flew out
to Miami to work with a producer slash writer called Dermola.
He is so freaking talented and he is very very
(10:32):
well known in like the Latin space, like the afrobeat space,
and he just understood the assignment, Like he just really
understood like what what I was trying to achieve, and
he knew how to He just knew how to pull
pull it out of me. So we started with Into
(10:53):
Deep in that same and not the same day, but
like we had like multiple sessions we did like this,
and then we also have another song that we did
that's not on this project right now, but like they're
all just their fire, Like all of these songs are fired.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Are we gonna get this other song?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah for sure, for sure. But yeah, so I would say,
like I would say Into Deep probably really started off this,
like like the vibe in Too Deep, start off the
vibe and then like this, and then the rest of
the song sort of like fell into place.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I'm going to ask you about like this in a second,
because that's my favorite song.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah on there, But why I have asked it because
there is like a theme lyrically yes here and into Deep.
I think as a starting point it makes a lot
of sense because when you say into deep, I want
to know what you actually mean by that, because when
I hear into Deep, I think about being lost in
the sauce. You're deep in it, and it's like I
don't need to beat this loss in the sauce, Like
(11:56):
I can just chill and enjoy this, you know. So
talk about what into Deep means to you, because I
think there's a lot of kind of themes of that
all over the project.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah. Yeah, And like every time, like I do, talk
to somebody about Into Deep, they all everybody has their
own interpretation of what the song means. But I think,
to me, the song just meant, you know, making mistakes,
made mistakes, You're into deep, into situation. That's really That's
really the gist of it to me.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I like that you put that making mistakes. I think
I'm going to start using that phrase more often. It's
kind of like kinder to the mistakes that I made.
You know, It's like the mistakes are more rough than
just making.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Mistakes, right, as long as you learn from your mistakes.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Right, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, it's true because
you know what.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I say, like, you don't know if you've learned until
it comes up again.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
It's like you're out situation. And I forget who had
this quote, but they said a lot of times you
actually haven't healed.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You just left the person.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Who was hitting you, you know, and then when something
else comes up, you're like, you will find out am
I healed or am I not?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
So into deep?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Makes me think of that because it's like, all right,
I realized I was in too deep. The situation wasn't
right for me. And then you think you you're healed,
and then maybe you might relapse or do it again
or have similar.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Things happen, hitting the same cycle.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
So give the people some advice.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
You need to look inwards. You need to look inwards.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Period.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And I think a lot of it is just like
self reflection, clarity on you know who you are as
a person, who do you want to be? Where are
you trying to go?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Self love is a big part of that.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, listen, we're all about self love
at the cool table, So you're you're at the right
place with that message.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I think as well.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
There's a a quote that someone said, the more you
connect to the truth, the less you can be offended.
And I think that is a big part of this,
where it's like, you know, if I have to know
the truth first, you know. I've been watching that documentary
on Netflix, the Biggest Loser one. Have you seen it?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Have anty you guys seen it? The Biggest Loser documentary, Chrissy,
of course, Chris has watched it.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
What's that one about?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The TV show is The Biggest Loser where it's like a
race who can lose the most weight and they only
have people on there who are like severely obese, you know,
so it's like three hundred four hundred pounds. And obviously
the show was completely unsafe, and you know, a whole
bunch of other things. But in watching the documentary, a
lot of people are complaining about the show and saying
(14:28):
how it was unhealthy, how much weight they lost, and
they didn't treat them well, and a lot of people
gained the weight back. There's a guy right now who
I think now he's three hundred and forty pounds and
he won the show and lost the most weight in
the history of the show. And thinking about that, I'm like,
these people don't seem self aware.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It seems like they feel like the weight happened to
them rather than they gained the weight themselves. And I
think of like, when you connect to the truth, it's
way harder to be offended. Because one of the contestants
are saying, she, you know, went on the show and
applied because she was watching the show at home while
eating a cheeseburger and I said, the math is here where,
(15:07):
you know, So I think of that. It's like it's
almost like you didn't look at yourself that way until
these things happen to you. But if you already look
at yourself that way, then maybe it'd be different.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I think self awareness. I think a lot of people
don't have self awareness.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Name names.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
We're not gonna do that, but it's such like a
key thing to have, and you know, like like I
don't know, it's just like, how do you like navigate
through life without self awareness?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I always I'm like how.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
But the thing is a lot of people will lie
to themselves, And my friend as Quoe says, if they
lie to themselves, they'll lie to you. And it's like,
you don't want to look at yourself in that way.
So you'll create whatever illusion in your head. Yeah, but
I think self awareness is the most important thing, Like
you can't really go anywhere without it. And self awareness
(15:59):
is almost like a cousin of delusion because in a sense,
it's like I've I've worked with a lot of celebrities
where you know, they're all famous quote unquote, but then
there's levels.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I remember last year, I was at a premiere and
Zoe saw Donna came in and obviously a huge star,
you know, great great actress Selena goldmanz walks in, and
it's like she's a nobody, you know, and it's self
awareness of like, yes, I'm still a big star, but
there's levels to the stardom. And also it doesn't mean
this person's quote unquote better than me. It's just a
different thing. So I agree with your self awareness.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
If we could put that in classrooms like civics careers,
self awareness.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Well, because it's like you don't know what you don't know, right,
So it's like every day you gotta you just, yeah,
you gotta learn a little bit, and yes, yeah, try
to find that, try to find that self awareness. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
It's hard though, because I feel like you learn things
about yourself that you might not like. Like we're talking
about into deep, like that's our self awareness. Yeah, where
even myself, like I really this is my fault, Like
they might not have been great to me, but I
was also into deep and to even have this stuff
forworeness as being like no I did this. Yeah that
(17:10):
doesn't feel good all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, it's true. It's true. A lot of people don't
want yeah, don't want to face that. They're like playing victims.
So so.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I don't even want to say name names because I
don't I don't want to get us canceled. Okay, this
I don't want to see be the last episode of
the Coold Table because we're calling people victims. Okay, everyone
is beautiful, everyone is lovely, your body, your choice. Let's
talk about like this because that's my favorite song on there.
That's that's one song that I was shaking a tail
of feather two as the kids would say, talk about
that song and how that came together.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So that song was kind of just like it was
just a vibe and I'm trying to think. I'm trying
to think like how how it just like all got started.
But I don't know, like I feel like we were
just vibing and it's like basically it's it's just a
song about like again, like you go zero to one
hundred with somebody and then realize, you know, after like
(18:05):
the curtains pulled back a little bit, you're just like,
oh like maybe this isn't this isn't working out for
whatever reason. But it's like you want it one way,
I want it another way. We're just not compatible.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, I like, well, I'll see the beat is fire,
Like that's one sound that you just you have to
move to. But I like the songs where you have
that juxtaposition of the music is like so energetic and fun,
and then what you're saying in this song is like.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
This isn't really the best right now. It started out great,
but it really.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Kind of, I won't to say, died down quickly, but
I really had the veilpul over my eyes and now
I can see clearly.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, yeah, you know what other song is like that
too on the album You're on the on the EP
Holt Me Down Yep is exactly that. It's if you're
not actually listening to the lyrics, you're just like you'll
vibe it and then it's like if you hear the lyrics,
so you read the lyrics, you're like, oh, where this
is totally opposite from this vibe.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I feel like the EPs has so much of that
because when I listened to a couple of times after
I stopped shaking ass, I was like, she's been going
through some things, like you know what I mean. So
I kind of like that next because I think that
makes honestly, it makes it easier listen in a sense.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, and it works.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well because like I also I want to talk about
these topics, but I also don't want it to be
like a sad EP. Yes, you know, like because that's
not what it is. It's it's I don't want it
to come across like oh like poor me. You're like
you know, I'm so sad. Like it's like no, like
shit happens and you just you okay, like you keep
it moving. And that's also what like I wanted to
(19:47):
call the EP maybe next time, like yeah, you know,
it's like okay, like it didn't work out this time,
but maybe next time it will, like maybe next time
you will get it right. Maybe next tim I'll get
it right. Maybe next time.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, you start the EP off, I think the first
line is shit is.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Crazy, like that shit got crazy?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, like even that to start it off, I was like,
I'm strapped to see where we're going with this. Talk
about that, because I even think that to start the
project is like such a direct message.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, it's just you know, chaos and relationships like shit
got crazy?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, yeah, you know, Yeah, I want to test this
out here. Okay, it's just for everyone in the room,
So Chris, oh, you guys walk with me here. I've
been asking people about death. Okay, what are your plans
when you died? I recently saw this video where they
said when someone gets cremated, the ashes might not even
be the person you think it is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Have you guys seen that video?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
No, So someone who you know, they that's what they
do for a living, and they're like, yeah, we just
do a bunch of people at once, and you could
have anyone's ashes.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Shut up. Yeah. So when I saw that, I said,
blood clots. That is insane.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Right, So there's someone right now who thinks they got
their granddad's ashes in their kitchen and it's just Tom
from down the street.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
So when I saw that, I said, Okay, So maybe
that's not the safest way to go if that's what
people are choosing, But they have all these other options. Now,
people can be made into jewelry, you know, like a
ring or a necklace. They could turn someone into a record,
and that's the way I'm going to go. I think,
I think turning myself into a record.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
What do you mean, like like like a vinyl a vinyl?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
How do you guys feel about that, like in terms
of that being the way that it goes afterwards?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I mean I would love that. I hope by then
I have, you know, an iconic album out and just yeah,
put me and put me in my album.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
See, I'm thinking of it more like it's maybe like
a curated thing you have for your grandkids, grandkids, you know,
and they can hear you talk. You can drop gems,
you know what I mean. Not bad idea. Okay, all right,
I like that, yea, not a bad idea. And you're
talking on the record, you're dropping some gems and you
(22:03):
play some music on it as well, almost likely your
own curated radio show. But I thought of that, Clay,
your album doesn't want to be sad. I wouldn't want
that to be sad either, because I want you to
listen to it more than once, you know, so I
don't want it to be like yo, Granddad's dropping gems.
But this is so sad. I can't play this. Is
there a song that comes to mind that you think
of that you would play for like your future ancestors.
(22:26):
It could be your song, or it's the song that
you like that just stands out to you know. For me,
it's a D'Angelo song, Great Day in the Morning. Just
the songs of that record. It's like upbeat, but it's
light and I you know where music is going. I'm
sure one hundred years from now, no one's gonna be
listening to that kind of music in the first place.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Who knows, though, honestly, who knows. Music is such a cycle?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
True?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
True, Hopefully listen fingers crossed. If we get back to
that place where we're listening to real instruments, I'm here
for it.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, I don't know what that song would be. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Welcome back to it, yeah, think about it. Let him
marri mate.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
But that's what I've been thinking about. And I talked
to my brother about it, and he said he might
do like a song a year, and every year he'll
think of a song that, like, this would be my
song of the year. I kind of make a playlist
going forward. I'm like, I'm not mad at that a
song a year would be good because I feel like
I have moments when I look back at my old
Spotify like top one hundred or whatever. Yeah, and there's
(23:28):
some artists I don't listen to at all right now. Yeah,
and they're like all in my top ten from twenty nineteen.
So yeah, I think I think that would be pretty
pretty interesting. Yeah, I want to know about songs that
didn't make the project, because I.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Was did you guys see that lad? That was that
was low key evil? That was evil? Damn, So tell
me why you did that? Evil? Laugh before I even move.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
On, because okay, so, because there's so much good music
that I'm just dying, I just won't to put everything
out right now. Okay, I want to put everything out,
but no, there's just there's a few tracks that they
didn't make the EP just because as a whole, as
a project, it just didn't make sense for them to
(24:15):
be in that project. But yeah, no, they're they're definitely
coming out at some point.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Okay, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Because I felt like this it's EP could have been
ten songs, like could have been Yeah, like I felt
like the five are cohesive. You have another ten we
get to even more minutes like this is like this
could be play at the pre you know.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Before we go out, just yeap run the whole EP?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
YEP?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Is that something that I guess you think of in
the studio when you're working on these records or well.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't necessarily think about it in the moment because
in the moment, I'm just working off of the mood
in that particular moment. Yeah, So it's like, if I'm
in a good mood, I'm probably gonna end up making
music that's you know, lively and happy. But I do
think about it afterwards, like once the project or like
the song is done, I do think about okay, like
(25:06):
who would be listening to this? Where would they be
playing it? Is this late night car rides? Is this
like in the club? Like what is what is like
the proper place to be playing this music? Yeah, but yeah,
it's just it is what it is, I guess. And
then yeah, yeah, I'm just trying to I'm just trying
(25:28):
to think I'm like, I'm like going through like all
the songs like on my EP right now. I'm just
trying to think, like do they all have a specific
place that you would play them? Like to me, Yeah,
like getting ready before going out, Yeah, all of them
would work, or just just cruising, cruising with your friends.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
And I think that like the EP itself like actually
can have its own place, Like each song individually losses
its own thing, but the EP as a whole can
be played like all the way through.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah, when you were working in bars and you were serving,
what were you thinking about in terms of your music career,
because I know now it must be so different to
go back and like think about that time or even
go back to those places. Well, where did you see
your career at that time? Did you kind of have
the vision of like one day it'll be this or
like this.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, what were you thinking?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Ye, it was it was always temporary. Serving was always
going to be the side hustle for the main hustle.
Because at the end of the day, like to do
what I'm doing, like to have a music career, you
need you need to fund yourself, you know, Like there's
there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes, like
even just you know, studio time gear, traveling to collaborate
(26:42):
with other people, you know, paying for mixes, like everybody
needs everybody needs to get paid, right, So that was
always the side hustle for this, And I remember like
maybe like just like a few years back, I'm just like,
like something's got to give, something's not a give, because
like I like, I don't I don't want this to
(27:04):
be like the most permanent, temporary job, you know, Like
something has to give. But I'm in a good place
right now, and I'm really thankful for all of those
years that I worked in that industry because it taught
me a lot. I met a lot of people, connected
with a lot of people, and I mean like even
just from like DJs, Like I know so many DJs
(27:24):
from all these clubs that I worked at, you know,
and you know, like from five years ago, ten years ago.
It's like they're all over the world now, and it's
like I'm connected, yeah, because of these because of these jobs.
So yeah, like I'm just always like super thankful for it.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I think about that too a lot, because sometimes you
meet these people almost just as people before you connect
industry and in a way that actually helps more. Like
I think about people who I know who I met
working random jobs as a brand ambassador or it's at
a restaurant, and now it's like, yeah, we're in the
music industry, but I know you like as a person, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Exactly, So that helps.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, Or like even like you know kids who are
like literally just starting out with like their camera that
you know, they come into the the club of like
for an event or something and they're they're there to
like film the night or whatever. Ten years later they
got so much experience and I'm like, you want to
film my music video? Yeah, you know, but like we
have that like relation from so long ago, so it's
(28:19):
it's yeah, definitely, like I was in like the right
the right industry for what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And you were in the right headspace.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I think in terms of talking about it as temporary,
because I used to work in the restaurant too, and
a lot of creatives work in that industry. Yeah, you
know a lot of creatives in the industry. And I
think there's a part where it's not a race because
everyone has their own story, but it's kind of seeing
who's going to be here in terms of like who's
going to stay here, who's going to actually graduate, let's say.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Graduate the service industry.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
That's real. That is so, that is so real.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
So I think that's a big part of it because
you definitely see people who don't graduate, you know, So
it's like having that foresight to be like not like
I'm I'm gonna be like them, like I'm I'm gonna
be around supposed to be yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let's
get to the most important question we have here.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Okay, okay, what is it I'm scared of?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
So when people get a hundred million dollars, they get
an exotic animal, Okay, Justin Bieber with his monkey, Michael
Jackson with his monkey, Mike Tyson with his tiger.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
M hm.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
So when you get to a hundred million dollars, yep,
what exotic animal a you're gonna bring into your life?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Monkey? Monkey? Not even thinking, no, monkey, I love monkeys.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Are you going to tell us more about about this
love for I.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Don't know, I've just alway had to love for monkeys.
I think they're just like the cutest things ever. And
I also see these videos like on TikTok or Instagram,
like you're gonna come up and they like hug you
with like their human arms, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Just like, you're so cute.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
They're literally like Harry and I don't know, they're just
they're they're cute to me. Like any kind of monkey.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I think monkey is the best answer.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, I shouldn't have said that because people are going
to be on disaster you, But monkey monkey, I think
because it's like it's like the actual mix between having
a kid and having an animal. You know, people say
dog is that, but I feel like monkey is like
the actual mix of that. Yeah, And there's like a
different level of affection you can have with a monkey
(30:14):
that you can't have with other animals that walk on
four legs or a fish or something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So I like monkey.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
I was watching Righteous Gemstones recently and there's a whole
part in there where there's a monkey who's like someone's
butler technically, and basically he wants to leave his wife
for the monkey because him and the monkey become so close.
So when I think of a monk, I think of
that of like, that's how close you can get to
a monkey, even more than like a dog. So I'm
(30:41):
not mad at that one. And one hundred million dollars.
You can get more than one, Like you can have
a partner. You can have a whole.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Gang of them little family monkeys.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
You could have a road monkey. You could have a
yeah we're not home, Like I see the vision, I
see it. Yeah, now You've got my brain spinning because
I'm thinking about what a house you'd have to have
for a monkey, like once a monkey, safe.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Monkey fall ceilings and just like a little park for them,
you know where they can like hang off of furniture
and like you just do some Parker. Yeah, exactly, that's
the word.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yes, Okay, yeah, all right, I'm with that.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, yeah, living his best life.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
And they feel less captive.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yeah, you know, I think like that's the thing is
that you don't want to feel in like sea world
for the monkey. You want a monkey to feel free,
you know. So I feel like a monkey can feel
free because they could walk around with you. They can
do their thing. So listen, I'm pro monkey here. And
of course there's no wrong answers. Any animal you choose
would have been great. Lets see where you're at with
the ice cream.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I mean, I feel like I did pretty good.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
You actually did not bad. Yeah, yeah, I thought I
thought you had done a little bit better. But I
was asking you a question.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Have you had me talking a lot?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
So all right? Could be worse? Could be worse. We
have this segment on the radio show called Wednesday Wisdom.
We look for motivational quote or saying either you remind
yourself of or the people around you. So what's that
saying for you?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
M Okay, this is something I I don't want people
to take this in like the wrong way, but I
am the prize. I think it's just such an inspirational
quote to remind yourself that, like you got to do
(32:29):
life for yourself, you know, and like you got to
give it main character energy, and like you can't be
letting stupid boys and you know, relationships and whatever, like
just people confusing you and trying to bring you down.
Like you really got to like remind yourself every day
like you're the prize.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
We'll retweet that's that's a good one. I think that
goes for everyone, Like just remindself, you're the prize. Someone
told me once they said you can do whatever you want,
and people always forget that, and I think that's free will.
But it's like you have these these constrictions mentally that
either you grew up with or society puts on you,
or even you might put on yourself. And it's like, no,
(33:10):
you're the one putting limits on the universe has no limits.
It's you that has a limit. So I like that
idea of like you're the prize.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah, just walk through life with your held your head held.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
High, you know, Like I think if you tell the
wrong people that they're the prize, it could go left.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, that's why I said, like I don't want speak
to hearpret it and like the wrong way. But like
that's my definition of when I say, like I'm the prize,
you gotta have like belief and confidence in yourself.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Listen, I definitely think I'm the prize. You don't got
to tell me twice. Cerysonal for sure, Like you don't
got to tell me once. Like, I definitely think I'm
the prize. So if you didn't hear anything else in
this interview, you're the prize is the one thing you
gotta leave with.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yeah. No, I like that.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I feel like we haven't had that many quotes like that,
And I like that you had the little precursor before
to kind of warn us.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah. Yeah, like because a part of the internet.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
That will take this, just that clip and be like
this girl, I.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Can't believe she said Why did she say that? Yeah,
and also you kind of tailored it more towards women.
I think that's important too, you know, but men, you're
the prize too. Okay, not more the prize than women,
but you're also a prize also have some worth. So yeah, everyone,
love yourself. That's the story. Yeah, I appreciate you joining us, man.
This has been a great conversation.
Speaker 2 (34:26):

would like you to it's a challenge. It's a challenge.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
So tell everyone about the flavor that you chose and

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh yeah, this would make me sick if I had
to eat all of this.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And what flavor did you choose?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I chose like a chocolatey peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
M h.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Whoa look at these chunks.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, that's that's a sentence right there.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, brownie something or other.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
This looks.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
This secs pretty good though.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
All of our ice cream for season three is provided
by Eva's original chimneys. Want people in Toronto GTA, if
you don't know, get familiar and they have vegan flavors. Okay,
so all of you who are dairy free, they can
work for you as well. I want to actually go
back in time if we can. Okays, as far back
as is appropriate.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Now you talked about you started really getting into singing
in high school.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
A lot of singers I know have like almost like
a north star when it comes to singing, someone who
they either idolize or they kind of copy. Who's your
kind of north star as a singer, someone who's like,
you know, God to you as a singer.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Honestly, that was Destiny's child for me.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That it was crazy. I kind of knew that you
were going to say that, I'm not going to lie
to you. Really to be honest, I knew you were
going to say that, but I didn't want to bring
it up because my execute Deesney's Child fan and Ripeter
her we just didn't want to go down that road.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
But I had a feeling. I was like, yeah, you
feel like a DC fan to me.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah. I was a big, big DC fan Maya Brandy,
the Goats, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I had a huge argument in elementary school that Desney's
Child was the best band out And if you had
seen me argue at whatever, it was eleven years old,
They're like, they're not a band, they don't play instruments.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I'm like, the voice is an instrument. So I'm, oh,
my god, the best.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
How do you feel like they influenced your actually actual
singing style? Because I think sonically also your music is
very different from theirs, But in terms of how you
use your voice, how do you feel like they influenced you?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I think it's just listening to their music and singing
along with every everything, the melodies, the flow.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I guess when it came to like writing my own music,
maybe sort of like the topics, I just like, heavily,
heavily influenced in like all aspects.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy that we're in a time where
people don't know about Dustney's Child. I saw the Renaissance movie.
I think it was two years ago now, yeah, and
when she brought Dustney's Child, I'm the theater like yeah,
Like I like had a reaction and it was just me.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So it's kind of awkward. And I looked around, like
how old are you people?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I couldn't think they're iconic? Like how can you not know?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
No? I couldn't. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
And then kind of going forward because you had I
would say a career before this one, you know. And
in terms of like what you did before and doing music,
how would you describe what you were doing musically before
like preparing for this EP? Because I think this EP
is kind of its own special place, So how would
describe what you were doing musically before this EP?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I would say that before this EP, my music was
very pop R and B centered, And because in these
last few years, I've been heavily influenced by afrobe music,
I've kind of blended the two. So it's sort of
this fusion of yeah, okay, I still have like my
R and B melodies, but now I'm fusing it onto
(04:20):
like this different type of production. So just like the
two things like combined, I think it's like just creating
this like really cool different sound.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I'm so happy you said that. I learned described it
to my friend the exact same way. Really, I feel
like a genius right now.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh, I love that. I love that for me. I
love that for me.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
And why I think going into your past is important
because you had this big moment twenty nineteen opening for Snoop.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
What kind of.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Led up to that, Like what where were you at
in your career? What were you doing like painting the
picture for me? Take me to that place.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean, like I was. I had my YouTube channel,
I didn't have TikTok yet, had my Instagram page, and
I was just pumping out cover songs, doing like also
original music, and I was I was collaborating a lot,
working with different people in the industry, and this opportunity
sort of just like presented itself and I didn't actually
(05:14):
know what I was getting myself into. Like honestly, I
remember like getting to like the first Venue because it
was a four stop tour around Ontario, and I just
remember like getting to was it Peterborough? I think Peterborough
was the first stop, and I'm just like, oh, like
we're in We're in a stadium like this, you.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Like I'm like, oh, like it's big, and I'm like, obviously, duh,
it's Snoop Dogg, Like I should have put two new together.
But like you know, I'm just like going with the flow.
So here i am like doing the soundcheck on this
like massive stage and I'm just like wow, like this
is gonna be so crazy, Like these next like tour days,
these are gonna be crazy. But yeah, it was a vibe,
like it was really fun and like obviously like the
(05:57):
more you do it, you get a little bit more comfortable.
So like I was by like the third show, I
was like I got this.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'll never see you for the first one though, because
I had to be like almost a jump.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Scare, so nervous, so nervous, like even just like hanging
out backstage and like the mic is in my hand
and I'm like waiting for the queue to go up
the stairs. I'm just like, yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, I feel like you don't really feel it until
you're on the stage. That's when you're like, oh, this
is really really happening. And then as well, like so
I work at TIFF, and my first year at TIFF,
I had to do an intro, which usually you don't want.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That to happen.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
What's an intro.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Like introducing the film, introducing the actors, And it was
went on the really really big cinemas, you know, like
three thousand people something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And I'm I'm talking from the people. You know.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
My background is in theater, on the stage, hosting things. Yeah,
but when I got on that stage and I looked
up into the crowd, it was almost like whatever I
had to do and I was reading off my phone,
like it wasn't like I had to oh And as
soon as I looked up, I was like, oh my god,
they're all looking at me. So when you talk about
like doing these big stadiums, it's almost so different from
(07:09):
like knowing a lot of people being backstage. But once
you're on the stage, you're like, oh, this is really happening.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You know what it is. It's when, at least for me,
the anxiety comes from the anticipation. Yeah, but when you're
in the moment, like there's no choice. Like you're on
the stage, it's almost like you just sort of like
tap in and you're just doing your thing, and it's
almost like all of that anxiety disappear.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
You're being present.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, you're being present exactly Listen.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
That's it's key for someone.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think that that's like a lot of what anxiety
actually technically as defined as that, like worrying about the future.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So I think if you can find a way to
be present leading up to the thing, that's But I
heard you say this, which I thought was right. You said,
if you're not nervous or anxious, and that means you
don't care. Yeah, so I think there's something to that
because a lot of people say they still get nervous
and anxious no matter how many years they are in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Are you feeling that about the tour coming up? Because
you got you got to do in some some big rooms. Yeah,
So how are you feeling about this tour coming out?
Because people are going to be showing up for you. Now,
this is not for us to.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Exactly, this is for you.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's literally like my thought process on it. It's nerve
wracking because it's not it's not yet. It's on a
Snoop Dog tour, and people are, you know, like just there.
This is like no, people are coming like to see me,
like they're they're paying They're paying for tickets, you know,
with their hard earned money. So it's like I want
to make sure that I give them an experience and
(08:34):
I give them a show, something that you can walk
away from being like that was a really fun evening. Yes, yes,
you know, but there's a lot of prep going into it,
and I think that's making me a little bit more comfortable.
So I sort of like I know what I'm stepping into.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, So and again it's gonna be one of those
things like the more shows I do along this tour,
the more comfortable I'm gonna get with it. Yeah yeah,
but I am going to be I'm excited. I'm excited
to see like the evolution from like the show like
all the way to the last one.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I'm excited too because I feel like your first tours
that are yours is just so different because a lot
of artists, you're like, your first time doing big rooms
is not for you. People don't know who you are,
they're not there for you, And you got to still
kind of try and win them over, but it's like
they don't really care. They're there to see who they're
here to see. You're just here to fill the time
while they get drunk.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
They probably don't even know your music.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I think about that because I've seen so many really
really good artists as openers, Like I've seen Sir probably
three or four times as an opener, and now you
know he does his own shows. I remember seeing July
talk open for I saw Kendrick as an opener. So
it's like seeing these artists as openers, You're like, you
don't know who you're going to see, Like this could
be someone pretty cool. So I really like that. I
(09:49):
want to talk about the project now. Okay, I told
you off Mike what I was doing when the project
was on.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'm telling people, we're going to keep a secret. We're
going to keep it a secret. He is dancing, allegedly allegedly,
what was the first song that you created in building
the project? Like, what was the first one? They're like, hey,
this is and where we're starting at.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The first one? So okay, So I there's a few.
There's a few on this project that kind of were
created in the same studio session. So I flew out
to Miami to work with a producer slash writer called Dermola.
He is so freaking talented and he is very very
(10:32):
well known in like the Latin space, like the afrobeat space,
and he just understood the assignment, Like he just really
understood like what what I was trying to achieve, and
he knew how to He just knew how to pull
pull it out of me. So we started with Into
(10:53):
Deep in that same and not the same day, but
like we had like multiple sessions we did like this,
and then we also have another song that we did
that's not on this project right now, but like they're
all just their fire, Like all of these songs are fired.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Are we gonna get this other song?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah for sure, for sure. But yeah, so I would say,
like I would say Into Deep probably really started off this,
like like the vibe in Too Deep, start off the
vibe and then like this, and then the rest of
the song sort of like fell into place.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I'm going to ask you about like this in a second,
because that's my favorite song.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah on there, But why I have asked it because
there is like a theme lyrically yes here and into Deep.
I think as a starting point it makes a lot
of sense because when you say into deep, I want
to know what you actually mean by that, because when
I hear into Deep, I think about being lost in
the sauce. You're deep in it, and it's like I
don't need to beat this loss in the sauce, Like
(11:56):
I can just chill and enjoy this, you know. So
talk about what into Deep means to you, because I
think there's a lot of kind of themes of that
all over the project.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah. Yeah, And like every time, like I do, talk
to somebody about Into Deep, they all everybody has their
own interpretation of what the song means. But I think,
to me, the song just meant, you know, making mistakes,
made mistakes, You're into deep, into situation. That's really That's
really the gist of it to me.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I like that you put that making mistakes. I think
I'm going to start using that phrase more often. It's
kind of like kinder to the mistakes that I made.
You know, It's like the mistakes are more rough than
just making.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Mistakes, right, as long as you learn from your mistakes.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Right, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, it's true because
you know what.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I say, like, you don't know if you've learned until
it comes up again.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
It's like you're out situation. And I forget who had
this quote, but they said a lot of times you
actually haven't healed.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You just left the person.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Who was hitting you, you know, and then when something
else comes up, you're like, you will find out am
I healed or am I not?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
So into deep?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Makes me think of that because it's like, all right,
I realized I was in too deep. The situation wasn't
right for me. And then you think you you're healed,
and then maybe you might relapse or do it again
or have similar.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Things happen, hitting the same cycle.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
So give the people some advice.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
You need to look inwards. You need to look inwards.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Period.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And I think a lot of it is just like
self reflection, clarity on you know who you are as
a person, who do you want to be? Where are
you trying to go?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Self love is a big part of that.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, listen, we're all about self love
at the cool table, So you're you're at the right
place with that message.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I think as well.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
There's a a quote that someone said, the more you
connect to the truth, the less you can be offended.
And I think that is a big part of this,
where it's like, you know, if I have to know
the truth first, you know. I've been watching that documentary
on Netflix, the Biggest Loser one. Have you seen it?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Have anty you guys seen it? The Biggest Loser documentary, Chrissy,
of course, Chris has watched it.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
What's that one about?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The TV show is The Biggest Loser where it's like a
race who can lose the most weight and they only
have people on there who are like severely obese, you know,
so it's like three hundred four hundred pounds. And obviously
the show was completely unsafe, and you know, a whole
bunch of other things. But in watching the documentary, a
lot of people are complaining about the show and saying
(14:28):
how it was unhealthy, how much weight they lost, and
they didn't treat them well, and a lot of people
gained the weight back. There's a guy right now who
I think now he's three hundred and forty pounds and
he won the show and lost the most weight in
the history of the show. And thinking about that, I'm like,
these people don't seem self aware.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It seems like they feel like the weight happened to
them rather than they gained the weight themselves. And I
think of like, when you connect to the truth, it's
way harder to be offended. Because one of the contestants
are saying, she, you know, went on the show and
applied because she was watching the show at home while
eating a cheeseburger and I said, the math is here where,
(15:07):
you know, So I think of that. It's like it's
almost like you didn't look at yourself that way until
these things happen to you. But if you already look
at yourself that way, then maybe it'd be different.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I think self awareness. I think a lot of people
don't have self awareness.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Name names.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
We're not gonna do that, but it's such like a
key thing to have, and you know, like like I
don't know, it's just like, how do you like navigate
through life without self awareness?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I always I'm like how.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
But the thing is a lot of people will lie
to themselves, And my friend as Quoe says, if they
lie to themselves, they'll lie to you. And it's like,
you don't want to look at yourself in that way.
So you'll create whatever illusion in your head. Yeah, but
I think self awareness is the most important thing, Like
you can't really go anywhere without it. And self awareness
(15:59):
is almost like a cousin of delusion because in a sense,
it's like I've I've worked with a lot of celebrities
where you know, they're all famous quote unquote, but then
there's levels.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I remember last year, I was at a premiere and
Zoe saw Donna came in and obviously a huge star,
you know, great great actress Selena goldmanz walks in, and
it's like she's a nobody, you know, and it's self
awareness of like, yes, I'm still a big star, but
there's levels to the stardom. And also it doesn't mean
this person's quote unquote better than me. It's just a
different thing. So I agree with your self awareness.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
If we could put that in classrooms like civics careers,
self awareness.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Well, because it's like you don't know what you don't know, right,
So it's like every day you gotta you just, yeah,
you gotta learn a little bit, and yes, yeah, try
to find that, try to find that self awareness. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
It's hard though, because I feel like you learn things
about yourself that you might not like. Like we're talking
about into deep, like that's our self awareness. Yeah, where
even myself, like I really this is my fault, Like
they might not have been great to me, but I
was also into deep and to even have this stuff
forworeness as being like no I did this. Yeah that
(17:10):
doesn't feel good all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, it's true. It's true. A lot of people don't
want yeah, don't want to face that. They're like playing victims.
So so.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I don't even want to say name names because I
don't I don't want to get us canceled. Okay, this
I don't want to see be the last episode of
the Coold Table because we're calling people victims. Okay, everyone
is beautiful, everyone is lovely, your body, your choice. Let's
talk about like this because that's my favorite song on there.
That's that's one song that I was shaking a tail
of feather two as the kids would say, talk about
that song and how that came together.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So that song was kind of just like it was
just a vibe and I'm trying to think. I'm trying
to think like how how it just like all got started.
But I don't know, like I feel like we were
just vibing and it's like basically it's it's just a
song about like again, like you go zero to one
hundred with somebody and then realize, you know, after like
(18:05):
the curtains pulled back a little bit, you're just like,
oh like maybe this isn't this isn't working out for
whatever reason. But it's like you want it one way,
I want it another way. We're just not compatible.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, I like, well, I'll see the beat is fire,
Like that's one sound that you just you have to
move to. But I like the songs where you have
that juxtaposition of the music is like so energetic and fun,
and then what you're saying in this song is like.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
This isn't really the best right now. It started out great,
but it really.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Kind of, I won't to say, died down quickly, but
I really had the veilpul over my eyes and now
I can see clearly.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, yeah, you know what other song is like that
too on the album You're on the on the EP
Holt Me Down Yep is exactly that. It's if you're
not actually listening to the lyrics, you're just like you'll
vibe it and then it's like if you hear the lyrics,
so you read the lyrics, you're like, oh, where this
is totally opposite from this vibe.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I feel like the EPs has so much of that
because when I listened to a couple of times after
I stopped shaking ass, I was like, she's been going
through some things, like you know what I mean. So
I kind of like that next because I think that
makes honestly, it makes it easier listen in a sense.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, and it works.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well because like I also I want to talk about
these topics, but I also don't want it to be
like a sad EP. Yes, you know, like because that's
not what it is. It's it's I don't want it
to come across like oh like poor me. You're like
you know, I'm so sad. Like it's like no, like
shit happens and you just you okay, like you keep
it moving. And that's also what like I wanted to
(19:47):
call the EP maybe next time, like yeah, you know,
it's like okay, like it didn't work out this time,
but maybe next time it will, like maybe next time
you will get it right. Maybe next tim I'll get
it right. Maybe next time.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, you start the EP off, I think the first
line is shit is.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Crazy, like that shit got crazy?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, like even that to start it off, I was like,
I'm strapped to see where we're going with this. Talk
about that, because I even think that to start the
project is like such a direct message.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, it's just you know, chaos and relationships like shit
got crazy?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, yeah, you know, Yeah, I want to test this
out here. Okay, it's just for everyone in the room,
So Chris, oh, you guys walk with me here. I've
been asking people about death. Okay, what are your plans
when you died? I recently saw this video where they
said when someone gets cremated, the ashes might not even
be the person you think it is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Have you guys seen that video?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
No, So someone who you know, they that's what they
do for a living, and they're like, yeah, we just
do a bunch of people at once, and you could
have anyone's ashes.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Shut up. Yeah. So when I saw that, I said,
blood clots. That is insane.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Right, So there's someone right now who thinks they got
their granddad's ashes in their kitchen and it's just Tom
from down the street.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
So when I saw that, I said, Okay, So maybe
that's not the safest way to go if that's what
people are choosing, But they have all these other options. Now,
people can be made into jewelry, you know, like a
ring or a necklace. They could turn someone into a record,
and that's the way I'm going to go. I think,
I think turning myself into a record.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
What do you mean, like like like a vinyl a vinyl?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
How do you guys feel about that, like in terms
of that being the way that it goes afterwards?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I mean I would love that. I hope by then
I have, you know, an iconic album out and just yeah,
put me and put me in my album.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
See, I'm thinking of it more like it's maybe like
a curated thing you have for your grandkids, grandkids, you know,
and they can hear you talk. You can drop gems,
you know what I mean. Not bad idea. Okay, all right,
I like that, yea, not a bad idea. And you're
talking on the record, you're dropping some gems and you
(22:03):
play some music on it as well, almost likely your
own curated radio show. But I thought of that, Clay,
your album doesn't want to be sad. I wouldn't want
that to be sad either, because I want you to
listen to it more than once, you know, so I
don't want it to be like yo, Granddad's dropping gems.
But this is so sad. I can't play this. Is
there a song that comes to mind that you think
of that you would play for like your future ancestors.
(22:26):
It could be your song, or it's the song that
you like that just stands out to you know. For me,
it's a D'Angelo song, Great Day in the Morning. Just
the songs of that record. It's like upbeat, but it's
light and I you know where music is going. I'm
sure one hundred years from now, no one's gonna be
listening to that kind of music in the first place.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Who knows, though, honestly, who knows. Music is such a cycle?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
True?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
True, Hopefully listen fingers crossed. If we get back to
that place where we're listening to real instruments, I'm here
for it.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, I don't know what that song would be. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Welcome back to it, yeah, think about it. Let him
marri mate.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
But that's what I've been thinking about. And I talked
to my brother about it, and he said he might
do like a song a year, and every year he'll
think of a song that, like, this would be my
song of the year. I kind of make a playlist
going forward. I'm like, I'm not mad at that a
song a year would be good because I feel like
I have moments when I look back at my old
Spotify like top one hundred or whatever. Yeah, and there's
(23:28):
some artists I don't listen to at all right now. Yeah,
and they're like all in my top ten from twenty nineteen.
So yeah, I think I think that would be pretty
pretty interesting. Yeah, I want to know about songs that
didn't make the project, because I.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Was did you guys see that lad? That was that
was low key evil? That was evil? Damn, So tell
me why you did that? Evil? Laugh before I even move.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
On, because okay, so, because there's so much good music
that I'm just dying, I just won't to put everything
out right now. Okay, I want to put everything out,
but no, there's just there's a few tracks that they
didn't make the EP just because as a whole, as
a project, it just didn't make sense for them to
(24:15):
be in that project. But yeah, no, they're they're definitely
coming out at some point.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Okay, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Because I felt like this it's EP could have been
ten songs, like could have been Yeah, like I felt
like the five are cohesive. You have another ten we
get to even more minutes like this is like this
could be play at the pre you know.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Before we go out, just yeap run the whole EP?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
YEP?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Is that something that I guess you think of in
the studio when you're working on these records or well.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't necessarily think about it in the moment because
in the moment, I'm just working off of the mood
in that particular moment. Yeah, So it's like, if I'm
in a good mood, I'm probably gonna end up making
music that's you know, lively and happy. But I do
think about it afterwards, like once the project or like
the song is done, I do think about okay, like
(25:06):
who would be listening to this? Where would they be
playing it? Is this late night car rides? Is this
like in the club? Like what is what is like
the proper place to be playing this music? Yeah, but yeah,
it's just it is what it is, I guess. And
then yeah, yeah, I'm just trying to I'm just trying
(25:28):
to think I'm like, I'm like going through like all
the songs like on my EP right now. I'm just
trying to think, like do they all have a specific
place that you would play them? Like to me, Yeah,
like getting ready before going out, Yeah, all of them
would work, or just just cruising, cruising with your friends.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
And I think that like the EP itself like actually
can have its own place, Like each song individually losses
its own thing, but the EP as a whole can
be played like all the way through.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah, when you were working in bars and you were serving,
what were you thinking about in terms of your music career,
because I know now it must be so different to
go back and like think about that time or even
go back to those places. Well, where did you see
your career at that time? Did you kind of have
the vision of like one day it'll be this or
like this.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, what were you thinking?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Ye, it was it was always temporary. Serving was always
going to be the side hustle for the main hustle.
Because at the end of the day, like to do
what I'm doing, like to have a music career, you
need you need to fund yourself, you know, Like there's
there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes, like
even just you know, studio time gear, traveling to collaborate
(26:42):
with other people, you know, paying for mixes, like everybody
needs everybody needs to get paid, right, So that was
always the side hustle for this, And I remember like
maybe like just like a few years back, I'm just like,
like something's got to give, something's not a give, because
like I like, I don't I don't want this to
(27:04):
be like the most permanent, temporary job, you know, Like
something has to give. But I'm in a good place
right now, and I'm really thankful for all of those
years that I worked in that industry because it taught
me a lot. I met a lot of people, connected
with a lot of people, and I mean like even
just from like DJs, Like I know so many DJs
(27:24):
from all these clubs that I worked at, you know,
and you know, like from five years ago, ten years ago.
It's like they're all over the world now, and it's
like I'm connected, yeah, because of these because of these jobs.
So yeah, like I'm just always like super thankful for it.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I think about that too a lot, because sometimes you
meet these people almost just as people before you connect
industry and in a way that actually helps more. Like
I think about people who I know who I met
working random jobs as a brand ambassador or it's at
a restaurant, and now it's like, yeah, we're in the
music industry, but I know you like as a person, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Exactly, So that helps.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, Or like even like you know kids who are
like literally just starting out with like their camera that
you know, they come into the the club of like
for an event or something and they're they're there to
like film the night or whatever. Ten years later they
got so much experience and I'm like, you want to
film my music video? Yeah, you know, but like we
have that like relation from so long ago, so it's
(28:19):
it's yeah, definitely, like I was in like the right
the right industry for what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And you were in the right headspace.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I think in terms of talking about it as temporary,
because I used to work in the restaurant too, and
a lot of creatives work in that industry. Yeah, you
know a lot of creatives in the industry. And I
think there's a part where it's not a race because
everyone has their own story, but it's kind of seeing
who's going to be here in terms of like who's
going to stay here, who's going to actually graduate, let's say.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Graduate the service industry.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
That's real. That is so, that is so real.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
So I think that's a big part of it because
you definitely see people who don't graduate, you know, So
it's like having that foresight to be like not like
I'm I'm gonna be like them, like I'm I'm gonna
be around supposed to be yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let's
get to the most important question we have here.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Okay, okay, what is it I'm scared of?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
So when people get a hundred million dollars, they get
an exotic animal, Okay, Justin Bieber with his monkey, Michael
Jackson with his monkey, Mike Tyson with his tiger.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
M hm.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
So when you get to a hundred million dollars, yep,
what exotic animal a you're gonna bring into your life?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Monkey? Monkey? Not even thinking, no, monkey, I love monkeys.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Are you going to tell us more about about this
love for I.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Don't know, I've just alway had to love for monkeys.
I think they're just like the cutest things ever. And
I also see these videos like on TikTok or Instagram,
like you're gonna come up and they like hug you
with like their human arms, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Just like, you're so cute.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
They're literally like Harry and I don't know, they're just
they're they're cute to me. Like any kind of monkey.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I think monkey is the best answer.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, I shouldn't have said that because people are going
to be on disaster you, But monkey monkey, I think
because it's like it's like the actual mix between having
a kid and having an animal. You know, people say
dog is that, but I feel like monkey is like
the actual mix of that. Yeah, And there's like a
different level of affection you can have with a monkey
(30:14):
that you can't have with other animals that walk on
four legs or a fish or something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So I like monkey.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
I was watching Righteous Gemstones recently and there's a whole
part in there where there's a monkey who's like someone's
butler technically, and basically he wants to leave his wife
for the monkey because him and the monkey become so close.
So when I think of a monk, I think of
that of like, that's how close you can get to
a monkey, even more than like a dog. So I'm
(30:41):
not mad at that one. And one hundred million dollars.
You can get more than one, Like you can have
a partner. You can have a whole.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Gang of them little family monkeys.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
You could have a road monkey. You could have a
yeah we're not home, Like I see the vision, I
see it. Yeah, now You've got my brain spinning because
I'm thinking about what a house you'd have to have
for a monkey, like once a monkey, safe.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Monkey fall ceilings and just like a little park for them,
you know where they can like hang off of furniture
and like you just do some Parker. Yeah, exactly, that's
the word.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yes, Okay, yeah, all right, I'm with that.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, yeah, living his best life.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
And they feel less captive.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yeah, you know, I think like that's the thing is
that you don't want to feel in like sea world
for the monkey. You want a monkey to feel free,
you know. So I feel like a monkey can feel
free because they could walk around with you. They can
do their thing. So listen, I'm pro monkey here. And
of course there's no wrong answers. Any animal you choose
would have been great. Lets see where you're at with
the ice cream.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I mean, I feel like I did pretty good.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
You actually did not bad. Yeah, yeah, I thought I
thought you had done a little bit better. But I
was asking you a question.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Have you had me talking a lot?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
So all right? Could be worse? Could be worse. We
have this segment on the radio show called Wednesday Wisdom.
We look for motivational quote or saying either you remind
yourself of or the people around you. So what's that
saying for you?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
M Okay, this is something I I don't want people
to take this in like the wrong way, but I
am the prize. I think it's just such an inspirational
quote to remind yourself that, like you got to do
(32:29):
life for yourself, you know, and like you got to
give it main character energy, and like you can't be
letting stupid boys and you know, relationships and whatever, like
just people confusing you and trying to bring you down.
Like you really got to like remind yourself every day
like you're the prize.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
We'll retweet that's that's a good one. I think that
goes for everyone, Like just remindself, you're the prize. Someone
told me once they said you can do whatever you want,
and people always forget that, and I think that's free will.
But it's like you have these these constrictions mentally that
either you grew up with or society puts on you,
or even you might put on yourself. And it's like, no,
(33:10):
you're the one putting limits on the universe has no limits.
It's you that has a limit. So I like that
idea of like you're the prize.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah, just walk through life with your held your head held.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
High, you know, Like I think if you tell the
wrong people that they're the prize, it could go left.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, that's why I said, like I don't want speak
to hearpret it and like the wrong way. But like
that's my definition of when I say, like I'm the prize,
you gotta have like belief and confidence in yourself.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Listen, I definitely think I'm the prize. You don't got
to tell me twice. Cerysonal for sure, Like you don't
got to tell me once. Like, I definitely think I'm
the prize. So if you didn't hear anything else in
this interview, you're the prize is the one thing you
gotta leave with.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yeah. No, I like that.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I feel like we haven't had that many quotes like that,
And I like that you had the little precursor before
to kind of warn us.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah. Yeah, like because a part of the internet.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
That will take this, just that clip and be like
this girl, I.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Can't believe she said Why did she say that? Yeah,
and also you kind of tailored it more towards women.
I think that's important too, you know, but men, you're
the prize too. Okay, not more the prize than women,
but you're also a prize also have some worth. So yeah, everyone,
love yourself. That's the story. Yeah, I appreciate you joining us, man.
