based in Florida, Asian American singer songwriter and producer Raffie Blue.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Well.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Whatever, however, however much sleep I get, I have to
be for music and for everything else, I have to
be one there.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Passion of course.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
The first time I met you was Friday.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Friday. It run from October tenth, eleven and twelve, just
last night.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yes, yep, and very exciting, very well attended, very successful then.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Actually yes, So the first time I met him, he
looked very intimidating. You know what with me, I love
intimidating looks, so that will always make me like approach you.
The more I want to approach you.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
He looked like a very classy person At first glance.
I was like, very very classy, very presents himself really
well and very stylish.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Very stylish.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
That's the first thing.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Silent wearing all white.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Oh yeah, I was wearing a baron. I was wearing
the short sleeves designed that outfit of yours. Well, actually
that was a lot of the Filipino designers I wear
are from Vigna Romero or Carlito Baldemorrow, so they're based
(02:53):
in yes, there, well in the Philippines. Actually that was
from my recently in in May, I did a show
in the Philippines, and I took the opportunity of hoarding
all these good designs desire to have wrong with me?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
The the what do you call that?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I forgot the.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I just actually did the Filipino Town uh here in
Las kas celebrated. It has been a very busy October
for us.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
We've been really busy.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
But I opened the national anthem for the un veiling
the inauguration of Filipino Town here in Maryland here where
we're at right now, and then Brendan did the national
anthem for the nighttime the nighttime event.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I did see the videos and definitely had I had
goose bumps and I've never been so proud to be
Filipino singing that singing that national anthem singing then the
star spangled banner and with a Filipino heart to you know,
it's amazing, and then he did.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
It again rain or shine, Well it was rain and
then that's the only thing that we did, or the
Pinoy Festival did is to open and to for kickoff,
he did the national anthem of the USA and the
Filipino forces and rap.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Here of course he hosted.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yes, I was, I was the m C. I was
one of the mcs and our hosts of the event.
And aside from that, I also perform. Yeah, so I
did kind of an opening act before, you know, before
all the other big artists, and I feel so honored
being in the lineup. I really felt excited and honored,
(04:48):
and my heart is full of gratitude to the organizers
and to the Filipinos who gave me that warm welcome.
Especially it's my first time to perform in Vegas. Oh wo, I.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Always thought, because when you came in, you already said
hi to Andrea, Hi Andrea and DJ Tara. I was like, okay,
so he.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Probably well I only met them like the day before. Well,
to be fair, DJ Tara, I've heard of her many times.
And then I actually worked with her in Florida doing
the Philippine Festival in Florida because we also have like
a like a big community in Tampa attended by you know,
(05:30):
from a lot of our Filipinos and maybe even non
Filipinos attend the event to enjoy the food and the culture.
So anyway, we did work together last that was April
that we did.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Phil always thought that all he probably had worked with
them with Pinoy Festival. Yeah, so, and I was intrigued,
Like I said, you were so intimidating. He came into
the tent, he was, wow, look at the outfit.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Well, speaking of the outfit, I think that so I
want to I want to disclose this, especially for unidentified
I want to identify, right, my actual name is Ralph Taylor. Yeah,
can you believe.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
That's very American and very.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Intimidating on it. But because of that, I feel like
it doesn't blend well with my music and with what
I want to do, with what my personality is. And
Raffi Blue just gives a little bit of a hint
of you know, of that style of that energy. More approachable, yes,
(06:45):
more approachable, but style is also part of Raffi Blues. Character.
You know, he comes always in a blazer. He always wear.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Blue, some white blue.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Actually blue is the color of you know, it's a
very peaceful color. Yes, And also it's I think it's
the best color on me, So why why would I
go work for other collars if it works on me?
But also blue is a is a jumbled as a
word that I made from jumbling my last name, not Taylor,
(07:20):
but my actual Filipino last name, which is Helbuena. So
I jumbled it and then I come up with me L.
Originally I was going to go for b l u e,
which is just blue, but then I felt like, now
Raffie blue has to be defiant. He will spell it
(07:42):
the French way b l e U.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I just I feel like in the industry and the
music industry, somebody told me that the more authentic you become,
the more people will actually going that and hop into
your world and actually appreciate your style and your character
and your personality. So I'm just keeping it authentic and
(08:09):
I'm inviting people over to my world. You're all invited,
by the way, to come to me, come into my world.
But more than that, I want to I want to
show who I really am, and then find find that
that group of people who can relate to me. So
and that's when the ripple starts.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Right and So talking about creativity, how is the creative
process for a fy blue? How do you make your songs?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
So I'm a singer songwriter, I do actually, Before before
I answer that I do, actually have come up with
a new single. My new a single is called Come
and it's a It's a love song. You know, everything
is a love song for everything, and I always pursue love.
So what I do is I have a very deep experience.
(08:58):
I have a very want to say, profound view of
my surrounding and although I kind of bring it onto
the surface using playful words, you know, but it's always
rooted very deeply. I like to travel and everything from
(09:20):
the stories and from my experiences. May it be a
ritual that I did in Peru, or maybe a camel
right I did in Morocco, I will compare that and
use that to exhibit what I feel for a certain
(09:40):
situation when it comes to love, or when it comes
to friendship, or when it comes to relationships. So I
want to make sure that I always use this concrete
experiences and.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
It's a true story.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
True story.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Always written songs that are a true story. I don't
think I can write a song without the truth in it.
It's either my life or another person's life.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, because that's how you become authentic.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yes, yes, exactly. But I'm curious, you know as Okay,
I'm not trying to be the host of this, but
I want but I want to know your creative process
because you know, only only through learning will I be better?
Only through knowing more and being open minded will I
(10:30):
learn better. I am a lifelong learner. I was a teacher,
So I want to know. Tell me how your idea.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah, that's the reason why I invited you here. Unique
artist is and I'm a mentor of a lot of artists,
and I can always see yeah, I don't know, there's always.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Like she has a kind of sixth sense, s.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Extense of you know, you're an excellent judge of character.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Even you know, I mean it's in me a coach
and artist development, so I've always see someone who has
incredible talent, you know, extremely talented people. That's why you're here.
We wanted to you know, unidentified somebody had seen you,
somebody has sightings of you, but in here we want
(11:18):
you to be identified when it comes to.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Like what was your question again, and your production, like
the sounds that you use or.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Brandon and I is a very good partner when it
comes to producing. I did go to school for audio production,
and I've learned the basic, the very basic of it.
And then I started writing songs, started producing songs. And
while Brannan is writing songs, I was slowly teaching him,
(11:52):
you know, just because if you know computer, if you
are savvy and computer so you can you can learn
it right away. And he's a fast learner.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And my background is more so I guess I I
know basic music theory, so yeah, I know how to
build it's all here.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I know how to I guess make a melody off
of the chords I make.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
So I'm I've always worked with a lot of producers
in my whole entire singing and music producing. Every time
I have a recording, I always work with them. So
I would always say, can you just put a little
bit of this, a little bit of that.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
So that's where she has the sounds in her head.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
So you're imagining, You're like you're imagining what that sounds.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Is like, yeah, it's yeah. Even when I develop an artist,
the sound and the picture and the artist that I
have for you, like for instance, like like let's just
say uh Asterid is an upcoming artists. I already have
(13:02):
a vision of her what she can become and the
sound of her but she can become and the songs
that she should be producing.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That's a gift.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
It's a gift.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
It's all in here and the heart and to be
able to know and determine the songs that will showcase
one's potential.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Yeah, that's the right word. Once you have the potential,
I already know.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
But what can I ask you if, if ever given
an opportunity, I would actually love to also tap you
as my mentor of I don't have a vocal coach yet.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Honor, I will be honored.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
We'll visit you in uh Florida.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Hopefully I come here often to perform as only love
will make me move to anywhere else.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Only love.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Only love. Really, that's already a song, right, Who's I
don't know that's not a song song?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh? I mean I can write it. I can write
about it now if you want, because it seems like
we're very we're very you know, creatively ready, and we're
just just one stimulant and can like a jolt, yes, exactly.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
And one thing I've always I like to collaborate with
people that speak the same language as we do. Yeah,
it's it's a different language. Well we're like we're like
we're like aliens.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yes, you know. Well, I think that the reason why
when I when I write, I also because I'm bilingual,
you know, maybe tri lingual even so, no multi lingual,
because I do speak for language.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
What languages do you speak?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
You know? From my travels, I have learned well, Spanish,
I did study Spanish in the university. But I've also
I've also self taught myself to speak Turkish.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh wow, it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Language.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
But because I connect, I really have found a connection
in relation to Turkey, it's such an energetic city. I
mean it's many empires have gone through Turkey and the
energy is just so different. But anyway, going back to
the languages, I feel that certain people, and this is
(15:34):
just my from reading and from my own experience, I
think that certain people do certain ways depending on how
their language is formed. So some languages are always active,
some languages are always passive in terms of action and
for example for Filipino, for my native language, it's always
(15:57):
about relation. You know, the words actually change depending on
who you do it with, yes, and what time you're
doing it, and where you're doing yes exactly how your
mood is. Yeah, So there's always that. And I feel
like when I write songs, I sometimes run out of
words to just to just even reach that same emotional
(16:19):
level that I wanted to express.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
So what's the best time for you to write songs
like really good songs?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Actually, there are times that I was working out at
the gym and then suddenly, all of a sudden, I
thought of this, and I come rushing home, thinking I
need to get home before I forget this, or just
use your.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Cell phone exactly. Even on in traffic when I'm driving,
I just record myself. But I'm better when I'm pressed
for time. When she has a deadline to me, I
always tell the other producers give me a deadline, because
I can't, like, you know, I can't be like, Okay,
next week is a deadline, be like in thirty minutes
(17:01):
for me.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Now, I want to give me early, give me, give
me the idea early. If we're going to do the
show in May, give me the idea in December. So
what about I'm gonna write it now, maybe I'll finish
it tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Actually, so when you are sad, would you still be
able to perform, write songs, dance and host.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
You know, I this is a very interesting question. I
love this question, actually, and I'll answer it as honest
as I can. And I've gone through a lot, a
lot of losses in my life, family members, even the
love of my life. And so my late husband's niece
(17:49):
actually told me a quote from the Marvel movies. I
think somebody I couldn't really, I don't know then research it,
but she said this to me, what is grief if
not love persevering? You know what a sadness but just
(18:13):
so much love that wants to give out but cannot.
And So when I'm sad and I'm feeling like this,
you know, when I'm when I'm not really one hundred
percent because I'm having that emotion, I trans I remember
that quote. I'm only loving too much? So why don't
(18:35):
I pour the love into the song, pour the love
into the performance.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Yes, it's like seeing seeing the mess you are, right,
the mess you are exactly, you know, saying the happy
you are, saying the desperate you are.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
You know, yes, just be who you are at that point,
use that and apply the emotions. And I always say this,
I I have nothing else but love to give. And
if I am, you know, not one hundred percent that day,
it's just because there's so much love that I want
(19:14):
to give to someone that I don't have, and so
you receive it. This is for you then, and this
makes me just happy. Just make me, you know, elated,
excited because you're service. Yeah, I just evolve, I just
transform that energy.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
That's very good.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Like Anazona Jayne as. We we really want to make
people happy at the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
And that's our job.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
That is our job to make me feel happy. And
we feel good when we make you feel really.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Good when sometimes absorb their we absorb what they have, yes,
and then we give it back to them in a different.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Manner, in a more positive way, negative and then out positive.
So I know you have a music video that we
you want.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
To show to people, but just let's just choose the
PG one. Okay, Okay, we'll just do no just kidding
there all PG.
Speaker 6 (20:10):

(20:42):
be right, gliding like trouble and giving it all to night.
So would you want me bringing out a beasting tonight

Speaker 7 (21:05):

Speaker 8 (21:20):

Speaker 6 (21:34):
You're supposed to mom to spare my life home the
time whispered tender love came and I won't give you

Speaker 1 (21:48):
And I won't give you so much to.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Bringing out the beasting you tonight has gonna be start off.
That's something.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
I don't want to be tons scate.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Want me to.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Imbout it as it used to secuate.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
So would you help me bring out the beast in
ju Denight has gone to be start off? That's something.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Really good?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Videos like I want to do a music video now
we should do.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
It a big back up, so much backup dancers behind,
and you know.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Dan, I love big production members.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So you have a singing side too, You have that
music side. All of us singers have a more inside
to us. Yes always and Raffi here you said that
you were a teacher.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yes, I used to teach in New Mexico. For the
Navajo Reservation. So if my students are watching you, if this,
if this episode gets to you, Hi, there's so many
I was teaching there for six years, so some of
them have already graduated high school. Yeah, and I'm still
(24:25):
in touch with their parents, and they still remind me
how much I've I've helped in you know, encouraging them
and showing their talent. So I'm happy about that. And
that was the teacher.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
What is your I guess what is the biggest lesson
you've learned as a teacher for six years at the
Navajo reservation?
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Will you throw the best questions ever? You know, I'm
a lifelong learner. I always believe that no matter how
great the lesson I'm learning now, there's a greater lesson
I'm going to learn again tomorrow, you know. And But
to just answer that concisely, you know, and explicitly, I
(25:13):
feel like the best way to describe is that as
a teacher or whatever our job is, there's always a stage.
You know, as a teacher, you kind of have this
platform near the blackboard area, and no matter how you're feeling,
(25:34):
no matter how busy or sad or confused you are,
of the things happening outside your job and your personal side.
When you get to that platform, that stage, you have
got to educate those children. You've got to educate, give
your all so that they come home today bringing an
(25:55):
important lesson from you. And I guess that's why I
really value that when I am performing, you know, I
I take that same lesson and say, look, once, once
upon a time, you are a teacher, Ralph, you are
(26:16):
a teacher, and now you're Raffie Blue, and your job
is that you know, in many ways, even when you're performing,
you educate too. So the things that you say right
with you know, your intros for your song or yeah,
so yeah, that's the greatest lesson because those kids like
(26:39):
an audience, they have an expectation of you, and you
shouldn't and you know, it's just more than more than
being your job. I think that specially, teaching is about
the legacy that you leave. So I actually, I'm actually
(27:00):
lucky that teaching and performing is not very far from
each other. It's not yea, it's not. It's not a
big it's not a huge leap. But yeah, that's the
most important lesson I've ever learned from teaching and from
my students as well, and from my co teachers.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I really love that because teachers are very can be
very influential in well.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Yeah, that's right, and especially us artists. Yeah, we always
we have this platform to influence and actually teaches and
actually create a group of people that actually understands you.
And that's influence, right, And this is another identification of
(27:49):
myself well, well, being here in an identify. I feel
like there's a lot of revelation, right because you see
this person this is what you think, you know, intimidating whatever,
but actually when you when you dig deeper, you'll realize
you break down the personality and wow, there's so much more.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
You know.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
That's why I said, you know, the more intimidating you are,
the more that.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I'm going to be. Well, there's mystery, right, And I
love tell that because I was.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
You know, people say that I'm intimidating, but I've got
to admit.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
I've got to admit when when I came to Las Vegas,
I'm I'm the newcomer. You guys, I've been here doing
all the performances and just one look, I already know
they are definitely you know, like and I love actually
this is something for you. Brand. I love how you
(28:48):
composed yourself in that corner, conserving all your energy. You
weren't even You're just like this, And I love that composure.
I'm always naturally loud, so I admire that.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Always I always have to prepare.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, I am quiet, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
You are like I admire that composure. But then when
you step up on stage.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Whoa who is?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
I love your stay quiet and focused.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yeah, you kind of have to be.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I mean, when you're on stage, you need to be
that different person it is you need you really need that. Yeah,
and just like Beyonce, she has fears. I know Beyonce, Yeah,
you have to be a different.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Yeah, we can go back to your old self. Like me,
I'm an introvert, but then on stage and.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Here I have to be.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Yeah. Yeahs guarantee.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
But when I met you, Okay, this is also a revelation.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
I really don't know each other.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
You didn't know and then you know all the other people,
and I was like, oh my, gosh, I'm the only
one she doesn't know. Everyone seems to be like doing
best and best with her and oh my, But actually
later on I realized who you are. So I was like,
oh my god, that feeling that that star quality that
(30:12):
I am sorry, but that feeling of intimidation is not intimidation.
It's starstruck. Yeah. So I really have big respect and
big admiration for the ones who paved the way, the
ones in the industry who paved the way for me
to be inspired to even start, you know, like be
(30:35):
inspired to create something. It's because they dared create something.
And so what am I doing here? Right? So I'm
very respectful of the ones I'm following.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Thank you, Thank you all. This is I want to
leave a a great legacy.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
This sure is a great legacy.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Here in Vegas and hopefully the entire United States and
an entire world, the entire world. Yeah, why not?
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Do you have anything else to say to our audience
right now?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I am actually very excited. Thank you for giving me
this opportunity. So Number there's many things happening all at
the parts, you know, which, yeah, which we love. Number One,
I'm actually in the running to be the style icon,
so Elton John. Yeah, this in connection and in relation
to his Elton John's Aides foundation, I'm actually running to

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Is there any upcoming shows?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
And yes, well, actually to mark this special this this
is actually how I release music. I release music with
a special event. So because Pinoy Festive all in Las
Vegas is one of the biggest festivals, I played that
and performed that. I actually released a song the same
(33:07):
time as this one. So Pinoi Festival started on October ten,
and so I released that song I talked about earlier,
the song called Come It's actually it was out October
ten as well, so I market like, how can I
forget Pinoi Festival. My single came out that time too,
(33:28):
However I wasn't able to. Yeah, that's that's how I
do it any any other big performances. That's how I
choose the day. So also it's ten ten, so it
was it's for all of the ten out of ten
out there, So ten out of ten Pinoi Festival as Vegas.
(33:48):
It's always easy to connect. And my new single come
has a Riot has Come?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Yeah, available in Spotify.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Yes, it's It's available on all major streaming platforms. I'm
still brainstorming for the music video, so hopefully you really
like the song and watching for the music. The music
video would be probably have like a part of it.
You know, it's very eye please can or maybe you know, yeah,
(34:21):
it would be I would be honored. But I tell
you briefly, I was imagining it to be someone who
is It's just a concept. So an alter ego of
Raffie Blue as a performer is he's actually a performer
in a religious congregation. Whir. It's like I always love you,
(34:46):
you know, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
You should pursue it.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Because many many artists also dedicate themselves to this kind
of service, in this kind of commitment. I like to
honor that. And because I am also very active with
my community. As for shows, I'm actually brewing something locally
in Florida, and I may come up with a couple
(35:13):
of like cabaret style shows, because jazz is build my
first love and it's still it's still we're working it out.
I'm writing, you know, I'm creating the repertoire, and I'm
going to practice with a band because I really want
a band to accompany very.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
Nice hopefully when we're there.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
It's hopefully, and i'd love to and I'd love to
accommodate you. So when you come, yeah, we'll say by
the beach or something.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
I'm in Florida. I always go there during the winter
music conferences, so I really miss it. So next time,
since you're there now.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
But the other the cost it's warmer waters.
Speaker 5 (35:58):

My name is Sharon Ty and my name is Brent.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
We're here for episode five with a very special guest.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
We have here with us a singer, songwriter and producer
based in Florida, Asian American singer songwriter and producer Raffie Blue.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Well.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Whatever, however, however much sleep I get, I have to
be for music and for everything else, I have to
be one there.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Passion of course.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
The first time I met you was Friday.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Friday. It run from October tenth, eleven and twelve, just
last night.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yes, yep, and very exciting, very well attended, very successful then.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Actually yes, So the first time I met him, he
looked very intimidating. You know what with me, I love
intimidating looks, so that will always make me like approach you.
The more I want to approach you.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
He looked like a very classy person At first glance.
I was like, very very classy, very presents himself really
well and very stylish.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Very stylish.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
That's the first thing.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Silent wearing all white.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Oh yeah, I was wearing a baron. I was wearing
the short sleeves designed that outfit of yours. Well, actually
that was a lot of the Filipino designers I wear
are from Vigna Romero or Carlito Baldemorrow, so they're based
(02:53):
in yes, there, well in the Philippines. Actually that was
from my recently in in May, I did a show
in the Philippines, and I took the opportunity of hoarding
all these good designs desire to have wrong with me?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
The the what do you call that?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I forgot the.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I just actually did the Filipino Town uh here in
Las kas celebrated. It has been a very busy October
for us.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
We've been really busy.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
But I opened the national anthem for the un veiling
the inauguration of Filipino Town here in Maryland here where
we're at right now, and then Brendan did the national
anthem for the nighttime the nighttime event.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I did see the videos and definitely had I had
goose bumps and I've never been so proud to be
Filipino singing that singing that national anthem singing then the
star spangled banner and with a Filipino heart to you know,
it's amazing, and then he did.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
It again rain or shine, Well it was rain and
then that's the only thing that we did, or the
Pinoy Festival did is to open and to for kickoff,
he did the national anthem of the USA and the
Filipino forces and rap.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Here of course he hosted.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yes, I was, I was the m C. I was
one of the mcs and our hosts of the event.
And aside from that, I also perform. Yeah, so I
did kind of an opening act before, you know, before
all the other big artists, and I feel so honored
being in the lineup. I really felt excited and honored,
(04:48):
and my heart is full of gratitude to the organizers
and to the Filipinos who gave me that warm welcome.
Especially it's my first time to perform in Vegas. Oh wo, I.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Always thought, because when you came in, you already said
hi to Andrea, Hi Andrea and DJ Tara. I was like, okay,
so he.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Probably well I only met them like the day before. Well,
to be fair, DJ Tara, I've heard of her many times.
And then I actually worked with her in Florida doing
the Philippine Festival in Florida because we also have like
a like a big community in Tampa attended by you know,
(05:30):
from a lot of our Filipinos and maybe even non
Filipinos attend the event to enjoy the food and the culture.
So anyway, we did work together last that was April
that we did.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Phil always thought that all he probably had worked with
them with Pinoy Festival. Yeah, so, and I was intrigued,
Like I said, you were so intimidating. He came into
the tent, he was, wow, look at the outfit.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Well, speaking of the outfit, I think that so I
want to I want to disclose this, especially for unidentified
I want to identify, right, my actual name is Ralph Taylor. Yeah,
can you believe.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
That's very American and very.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Intimidating on it. But because of that, I feel like
it doesn't blend well with my music and with what
I want to do, with what my personality is. And
Raffi Blue just gives a little bit of a hint
of you know, of that style of that energy. More approachable, yes,
(06:45):
more approachable, but style is also part of Raffi Blues. Character.
You know, he comes always in a blazer. He always wear.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Blue, some white blue.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Actually blue is the color of you know, it's a
very peaceful color. Yes, And also it's I think it's
the best color on me, So why why would I
go work for other collars if it works on me?
But also blue is a is a jumbled as a
word that I made from jumbling my last name, not Taylor,
(07:20):
but my actual Filipino last name, which is Helbuena. So
I jumbled it and then I come up with me L.
Originally I was going to go for b l u e,
which is just blue, but then I felt like, now
Raffie blue has to be defiant. He will spell it
(07:42):
the French way b l e U.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I just I feel like in the industry and the
music industry, somebody told me that the more authentic you become,
the more people will actually going that and hop into
your world and actually appreciate your style and your character
and your personality. So I'm just keeping it authentic and
(08:09):
I'm inviting people over to my world. You're all invited,
by the way, to come to me, come into my world.
But more than that, I want to I want to
show who I really am, and then find find that
that group of people who can relate to me. So
and that's when the ripple starts.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Right and So talking about creativity, how is the creative
process for a fy blue? How do you make your songs?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
So I'm a singer songwriter, I do actually, Before before
I answer that I do, actually have come up with
a new single. My new a single is called Come
and it's a It's a love song. You know, everything
is a love song for everything, and I always pursue love.
So what I do is I have a very deep experience.
(08:58):
I have a very want to say, profound view of
my surrounding and although I kind of bring it onto
the surface using playful words, you know, but it's always
rooted very deeply. I like to travel and everything from
(09:20):
the stories and from my experiences. May it be a
ritual that I did in Peru, or maybe a camel
right I did in Morocco, I will compare that and
use that to exhibit what I feel for a certain
(09:40):
situation when it comes to love, or when it comes
to friendship, or when it comes to relationships. So I
want to make sure that I always use this concrete
experiences and.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
It's a true story.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
True story.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Always written songs that are a true story. I don't
think I can write a song without the truth in it.
It's either my life or another person's life.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, because that's how you become authentic.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yes, yes, exactly. But I'm curious, you know as Okay,
I'm not trying to be the host of this, but
I want but I want to know your creative process
because you know, only only through learning will I be better?
Only through knowing more and being open minded will I
(10:30):
learn better. I am a lifelong learner. I was a teacher,
So I want to know. Tell me how your idea.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah, that's the reason why I invited you here. Unique
artist is and I'm a mentor of a lot of artists,
and I can always see yeah, I don't know, there's always.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Like she has a kind of sixth sense, s.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Extense of you know, you're an excellent judge of character.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Even you know, I mean it's in me a coach
and artist development, so I've always see someone who has
incredible talent, you know, extremely talented people. That's why you're here.
We wanted to you know, unidentified somebody had seen you,
somebody has sightings of you, but in here we want
(11:18):
you to be identified when it comes to.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Like what was your question again, and your production, like
the sounds that you use or.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Brandon and I is a very good partner when it
comes to producing. I did go to school for audio production,
and I've learned the basic, the very basic of it.
And then I started writing songs, started producing songs. And
while Brannan is writing songs, I was slowly teaching him,
(11:52):
you know, just because if you know computer, if you
are savvy and computer so you can you can learn
it right away. And he's a fast learner.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And my background is more so I guess I I
know basic music theory, so yeah, I know how to
build it's all here.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I know how to I guess make a melody off
of the chords I make.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
So I'm I've always worked with a lot of producers
in my whole entire singing and music producing. Every time
I have a recording, I always work with them. So
I would always say, can you just put a little
bit of this, a little bit of that.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
So that's where she has the sounds in her head.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
So you're imagining, You're like you're imagining what that sounds.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Is like, yeah, it's yeah. Even when I develop an artist,
the sound and the picture and the artist that I
have for you, like for instance, like like let's just
say uh Asterid is an upcoming artists. I already have
(13:02):
a vision of her what she can become and the
sound of her but she can become and the songs
that she should be producing.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That's a gift.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
It's a gift.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
It's all in here and the heart and to be
able to know and determine the songs that will showcase
one's potential.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Yeah, that's the right word. Once you have the potential,
I already know.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
But what can I ask you if, if ever given
an opportunity, I would actually love to also tap you
as my mentor of I don't have a vocal coach yet.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Honor, I will be honored.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
We'll visit you in uh Florida.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Hopefully I come here often to perform as only love
will make me move to anywhere else.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Only love.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Only love. Really, that's already a song, right, Who's I
don't know that's not a song song?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh? I mean I can write it. I can write
about it now if you want, because it seems like
we're very we're very you know, creatively ready, and we're
just just one stimulant and can like a jolt, yes, exactly.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
And one thing I've always I like to collaborate with
people that speak the same language as we do. Yeah,
it's it's a different language. Well we're like we're like
we're like aliens.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yes, you know. Well, I think that the reason why
when I when I write, I also because I'm bilingual,
you know, maybe tri lingual even so, no multi lingual,
because I do speak for language.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
What languages do you speak?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
You know? From my travels, I have learned well, Spanish,
I did study Spanish in the university. But I've also
I've also self taught myself to speak Turkish.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh wow, it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Language.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
But because I connect, I really have found a connection
in relation to Turkey, it's such an energetic city. I
mean it's many empires have gone through Turkey and the
energy is just so different. But anyway, going back to
the languages, I feel that certain people, and this is
(15:34):
just my from reading and from my own experience, I
think that certain people do certain ways depending on how
their language is formed. So some languages are always active,
some languages are always passive in terms of action and
for example for Filipino, for my native language, it's always
(15:57):
about relation. You know, the words actually change depending on
who you do it with, yes, and what time you're
doing it, and where you're doing yes exactly how your
mood is. Yeah, So there's always that. And I feel
like when I write songs, I sometimes run out of
words to just to just even reach that same emotional
(16:19):
level that I wanted to express.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
So what's the best time for you to write songs
like really good songs?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Actually, there are times that I was working out at
the gym and then suddenly, all of a sudden, I
thought of this, and I come rushing home, thinking I
need to get home before I forget this, or just
use your.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Cell phone exactly. Even on in traffic when I'm driving,
I just record myself. But I'm better when I'm pressed
for time. When she has a deadline to me, I
always tell the other producers give me a deadline, because
I can't, like, you know, I can't be like, Okay,
next week is a deadline, be like in thirty minutes
(17:01):
for me.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Now, I want to give me early, give me, give
me the idea early. If we're going to do the
show in May, give me the idea in December. So
what about I'm gonna write it now, maybe I'll finish
it tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Actually, so when you are sad, would you still be
able to perform, write songs, dance and host.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
You know, I this is a very interesting question. I
love this question, actually, and I'll answer it as honest
as I can. And I've gone through a lot, a
lot of losses in my life, family members, even the
love of my life. And so my late husband's niece
(17:49):
actually told me a quote from the Marvel movies. I
think somebody I couldn't really, I don't know then research it,
but she said this to me, what is grief if
not love persevering? You know what a sadness but just
(18:13):
so much love that wants to give out but cannot.
And So when I'm sad and I'm feeling like this,
you know, when I'm when I'm not really one hundred
percent because I'm having that emotion, I trans I remember
that quote. I'm only loving too much? So why don't
(18:35):
I pour the love into the song, pour the love
into the performance.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Yes, it's like seeing seeing the mess you are, right,
the mess you are exactly, you know, saying the happy
you are, saying the desperate you are.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
You know, yes, just be who you are at that point,
use that and apply the emotions. And I always say this,
I I have nothing else but love to give. And
if I am, you know, not one hundred percent that day,
it's just because there's so much love that I want
(19:14):
to give to someone that I don't have, and so
you receive it. This is for you then, and this
makes me just happy. Just make me, you know, elated,
excited because you're service. Yeah, I just evolve, I just
transform that energy.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
That's very good.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Like Anazona Jayne as. We we really want to make
people happy at the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
And that's our job.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
That is our job to make me feel happy. And
we feel good when we make you feel really.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Good when sometimes absorb their we absorb what they have, yes,
and then we give it back to them in a different.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Manner, in a more positive way, negative and then out positive.
So I know you have a music video that we
you want.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
To show to people, but just let's just choose the
PG one. Okay, Okay, we'll just do no just kidding
there all PG.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Yeah, showing like a disco ball that time may just
(20:42):
be right, gliding like trouble and giving it all to night.
So would you want me bringing out a beasting tonight
(21:02):
has gonna be start off?
Speaker 7 (21:05):
That's something.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I don't want you tonight.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Spots to sit to it.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I want you tonight.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Spur to spread out about.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
You're supposed to mom to spare my life home the
time whispered tender love came and I won't give you
if I.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
And I won't give you so much to.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Bringing out the beasting you tonight has gonna be start off.
That's something.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
I don't want to be tons scate.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Want me to.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Imbout it as it used to secuate.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
So would you help me bring out the beast in
ju Denight has gone to be start off? That's something.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Really good?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Videos like I want to do a music video now
we should do.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
It a big back up, so much backup dancers behind,
and you know.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Dan, I love big production members.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So you have a singing side too, You have that
music side. All of us singers have a more inside
to us. Yes always and Raffi here you said that
you were a teacher.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yes, I used to teach in New Mexico. For the
Navajo Reservation. So if my students are watching you, if this,
if this episode gets to you, Hi, there's so many
I was teaching there for six years, so some of
them have already graduated high school. Yeah, and I'm still
(24:25):
in touch with their parents, and they still remind me
how much I've I've helped in you know, encouraging them
and showing their talent. So I'm happy about that. And
that was the teacher.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
What is your I guess what is the biggest lesson
you've learned as a teacher for six years at the
Navajo reservation?
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Will you throw the best questions ever? You know, I'm
a lifelong learner. I always believe that no matter how
great the lesson I'm learning now, there's a greater lesson
I'm going to learn again tomorrow, you know. And But
to just answer that concisely, you know, and explicitly, I
(25:13):
feel like the best way to describe is that as
a teacher or whatever our job is, there's always a stage.
You know, as a teacher, you kind of have this
platform near the blackboard area, and no matter how you're feeling,
(25:34):
no matter how busy or sad or confused you are,
of the things happening outside your job and your personal side.
When you get to that platform, that stage, you have
got to educate those children. You've got to educate, give
your all so that they come home today bringing an
(25:55):
important lesson from you. And I guess that's why I
really value that when I am performing, you know, I
I take that same lesson and say, look, once, once
upon a time, you are a teacher, Ralph, you are
(26:16):
a teacher, and now you're Raffie Blue, and your job
is that you know, in many ways, even when you're performing,
you educate too. So the things that you say right
with you know, your intros for your song or yeah,
so yeah, that's the greatest lesson because those kids like
(26:39):
an audience, they have an expectation of you, and you
shouldn't and you know, it's just more than more than
being your job. I think that specially, teaching is about
the legacy that you leave. So I actually, I'm actually
(27:00):
lucky that teaching and performing is not very far from
each other. It's not yea, it's not. It's not a
big it's not a huge leap. But yeah, that's the
most important lesson I've ever learned from teaching and from
my students as well, and from my co teachers.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I really love that because teachers are very can be
very influential in well.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Yeah, that's right, and especially us artists. Yeah, we always
we have this platform to influence and actually teaches and
actually create a group of people that actually understands you.
And that's influence, right, And this is another identification of
(27:49):
myself well, well, being here in an identify. I feel
like there's a lot of revelation, right because you see
this person this is what you think, you know, intimidating whatever,
but actually when you when you dig deeper, you'll realize
you break down the personality and wow, there's so much more.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
You know.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
That's why I said, you know, the more intimidating you are,
the more that.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I'm going to be. Well, there's mystery, right, And I
love tell that because I was.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
You know, people say that I'm intimidating, but I've got
to admit.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
I've got to admit when when I came to Las Vegas,
I'm I'm the newcomer. You guys, I've been here doing
all the performances and just one look, I already know
they are definitely you know, like and I love actually
this is something for you. Brand. I love how you
(28:48):

that different person it is you need you really need that. Yeah,
and just like Beyonce, she has fears. I know Beyonce, Yeah,
you have to be a different.

You didn't know and then you know all the other people,
and I was like, oh my, gosh, I'm the only
one she doesn't know. Everyone seems to be like doing
best and best with her and oh my, But actually
later on I realized who you are. So I was like,
oh my god, that feeling that that star quality that
(30:12):
I am sorry, but that feeling of intimidation is not intimidation.
It's starstruck. Yeah. So I really have big respect and
big admiration for the ones who paved the way, the
ones in the industry who paved the way for me
to be inspired to even start, you know, like be
(30:35):

is actually how I release music. I release music with
a special event. So because Pinoy Festive all in Las
Vegas is one of the biggest festivals, I played that
and performed that. I actually released a song the same
(33:07):
time as this one. So Pinoi Festival started on October ten,
and so I released that song I talked about earlier,
the song called Come It's actually it was out October
ten as well, so I market like, how can I
forget Pinoi Festival. My single came out that time too,
(33:28):
However I wasn't able to. Yeah, that's that's how I
do it any any other big performances. That's how I
choose the day. So also it's ten ten, so it
was it's for all of the ten out of ten
out there, So ten out of ten Pinoi Festival as Vegas.
(33:48):

like the song and watching for the music. The music
video would be probably have like a part of it.
You know, it's very eye please can or maybe you know, yeah,
(34:21):

you briefly, I was imagining it to be someone who
is It's just a concept. So an alter ego of
Raffie Blue as a performer is he's actually a performer
in a religious congregation. Whir. It's like I always love you,
(34:46):
you know, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (34:49):

of service, in this kind of commitment. I like to
honor that. And because I am also very active with
my community. As for shows, I'm actually brewing something locally
