That's why i'm play by play announce so you can

Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's pretty good, right when you get a chance to

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Just like you did with that radio liner. Great job
of that at the top. Here, Hey, give us a
little background of you. You've got all these titles and
I love this because the email that I got from
you too, which really had me interested in you going
after as an artist. I went, you know what, the
best kept secret since Bruno Mars. I had to love
that too as well because Bruno Mars is such an
icon ertainment. But tell me a little bit about your background.
And you're like all over the place when it comes
(02:03):
to different job titles and things that you do, from
motivational speaker to artists to a lot of things. Give
me a little bit about your background and just the
passion for music.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Absolutely well, that was the first for me to hear
about that Bruno Mars thing because I didn't send that email,
so it was nice to hear that someone else promoted
me that way. It started. My whole singing career started
as a dancer, so I grew up in San Diego.
I was dancing since four years old, ballet, jazz, hat,
hip hop. I danced in the Super Bowl Super Bowl
thirty seven. You could see my audition and my time
(02:34):
on the field on YouTube if you look a blissed
JAYC dancer. I moved to Los Angeles in two thousand and.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Three, just after the Super Bowl to teach.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Dance and I was working one and four part time
jobs when my coworkers heard me singing to myself at
work and thought I had a good voice. Forced me
to try karaoke, and that is how I learned I
could sing. I had zero intention of being in the
music industry, and after a year of seeing karaoke, I
got addicted to it. I started writing songs, are releasing songs.
I started playing live shows. I taught myself guitar and
(03:04):
within three years I opened for Bruno twice and it
was just before he got on the Grammys for the
first time. And from there, eight years later, I moved
to Nashville. I've been here for almost fourteen years now,
and ever since moving here, I've become a professional motivational
I call it inspirational speaker in Ireland and Sweden, all
over the US. I started a jewelry business last year
(03:24):
listed jac Designs, where I make jewelry for kids and
adults and pets that you can wear up to fifteen ways.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I still teach dance.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I started producing and editing my own videos, doing my
own photo shoots. I am a career coach as well
model and actress. Signs to an agency of I've a
signed drummer as of last month.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I love it, so learn a number of hats out
there too, master of all the trade, no doubt of
the love it out there, and you entertain the best
thing we'd say, Hey, tell me about this song that
came out in April, the vibe. I want to hear
all about this too, because it really gave me the
vibe looking back at it to you, I love this too.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'm so glad that you do.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's my first released R and B tune, and if
any of you take some time to listen to my music,
it's a wide variety of pop and blues and country
and Americana and some reggae and I rap a little bit.
But this song is the first R and B song
that I released, and I kicks them from me watching
a how to video on how to learn how to
use the focus right music recording thing. So I was
(04:25):
watching this video, I'm like, oh my gosh, this woman
singing the song. She sounds so good, and I was
so inspired. I had to put it on pause and
grab my guitar and I started writing a song. And
it really had nothing to do with my life. It
just was a story that came to me at that moment.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I love it too. That's the beauty of it too.
Is that kind of worse songwriting kind of factors into it.
I guess are you a fan of it? Because some
people may not be a fan of songwriting. It is
a process, no doubt, when it comes down to it.
Some things, I know fantasy, some things can can come
from those real life experiences.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Talk about your process of songwriting.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I was putting away laundry the other day and I
opened my mouth and like a half of a song
came out. I just it does not matter. I could
be doing absolutely nothing or doing something that could be
sparking inspiration, and I just start a song.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I can.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
A lot of my songs come from driving.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'm sure a lot of people who tour all over
the US and drive to and from their shows. I'm
sure you guys have written songs into your phone with.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Your face like I have. But yeah, sometimes I just
go ahead and then a song comes out.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I just bill the bay stuff a great idea and
creating something from nothing out there too at the same time,
and just seeing it come to life. I guess, kind
of like a newborn newborn child can I say about that,
it's time.

on this podcast. Expensive to run these things. If you
guys are interested in advertising, find more information at the
Sports Guys podcast dot com. So this one had a
lot of fun to it too, but you mentioned the
background of just dancing at choreography of becoming a new
loving music so much motivational speaker. This song Top shelf
had it all. I love this when a listen was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, do you want to know about the background, Yes,
it's all about it. This style is probably my favorite
style to sing on par with R and B. But
like blues and soul, I just in a little like
tinge of pop. It's always been my favorite style of
music to listen to as well as to perform and
sing live. And I wanted to write a song that
(11:29):
mirrored where I was at that particular point in my life.
I had finally reached a point where I was so
sick of choosing all the well liquors in the world
to date and Mary so married and divorce once and
I kind of refer to those decisions as the well
lookers at bottom shelves, and I was no longer want
to be making bottom shelf decisions, only.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Top shelf decisions from hell on. So it's kind of
like a tongue in cheek high back there, like a
tongue in.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Cheek song about it, as I'm talking about husbands and
bottom shells and alcohol.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Hello child in the background.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yes, So there you go about choosing top shelf for yourself,
not just for drinking, but better decisions in general.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Looking back on it too, looking back at music, so
many talented ladies are kind of doing their thing in
Nashville right now. Talk about that because not just what
Lanny Wilson's been doing on the countryside, but you get
so many talented ladies who've moved there and not afraid
to take the risk when it comes to jumping into
the fire and a man. They've done that, They put
out great songs. What's the kind of this women's movement me?
Not just the country, but are and be and pop
and seeing so many great females do their things out there.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yes, absolutely I know that movement. And Laney is someone
I watched very closely. I'm a huge fan of her,
mainly because of who she is as a person. Never
met her, but I don't think you can fake being
that authentic. So and I think her authenticity oozes through
her music and who's through the cameras and her interviews
and how she treats other people and her fans. It's
so important for people like myself and artists in general,
(12:50):
not just females but just any generation to see people
going after their dream. And Mary Morris is someone who
I love me or hate me for saying this, but
I really look up to her. She knows exactly who
she is, She's not going to put up with any shit,
and she's just awesome. She loves she loves what she does,
and she loves who she is. And so I'm a
fan of what's happening right now.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Absolutely, And it's hard being an independent artists, like, you've
done this for a long time and it's hard to
get and it's I say, it's it's still it's never
easy if you signed to a record label, but even
the more of the work that's on you, being an
independent artist is more challenging, right.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Absolutely well, of course, because up until January, I didn't
have a team. I've been in the industry for twenty years.
January was my twenty year anniversary. Never had a booking agent,
never had a PR person, never had a manager, and
I'm still doing a lot of that work on my
own now, but it's it's also I'm building a team,
and it's really really nice to have that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
So you guys, if you're.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Listening out there and you're like, oh my god, I
don't know if I can wait twenty years. Maybe it
took twenty years for me and might take twenty.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Days for you. Just never give up, never ever ever
give up.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I know it's a cliche, but I'm telling you, if
you love what you're doing, you cannot give up.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Word of advice I heard on this radio show too,
like don't do it in the first year brand and
don't do that, And I'm like, Okay, I'm glad I
never I followed your advice, and I'm glad I didn't
give up when he came down of that too. Because
radio podcasting music it overlaps too. That's why I do
a little bit of sports talk here on too as well,
about people's favorite teams all that kind of stuff. It's
hard to make it as an athlete, hard to make
it as a musician. Hell, it's hard to become a
doctor in these days when it comes down to it,
(14:20):
and go to medical school. Whatever it is you love,
do not give up out there too as well. Time
to play some new music and of course the music

this song here, welcome back to the backstage pass and
this is great you guys putting out the music video
August fifteen.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Tell us all about this video and the song itself. Sure.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
One of the things I started doing post Pandemic was
doing my own videos, and this is the fifth or
sixth video that I shot, produced edited everything myself, So
I take a lot of pride in it is a
simple video, is just a few different you know, it's
one location, a few different angles, but I colored it
all and I made sure that the camera is placed
just so.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And I think it really goes really well with what
this song is about.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And it is as simple as it's going to be
fine with the title, and it happened to be a very,
very sunny day, which I was very lucky about.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
So when you listen to this song, it's very.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Hopeful, uplifting song, and you're gonna watch the video and
it's gonna make you feel really really good.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
When you look at albums and you put out a
couple of different albums too, let's go back to the
Showing Up record too, love this one. A lot of
great songs off for there. I got a chance to
listen to a lot of the too, including the title
track itself, some of your best highlights from the last
album too, and some things that you're taking there like
that we're done well. Some things that you obviously, like
all artist want to say, yeah, we put that out
body of work, we improve on it, we get ready
for the next project. Things like that, talk about just
(22:50):
the making of the record and some of the highlights
off there.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I think every artist aspires to make their next album
better than their last, and that is absolutely what this
album has done for me. I made sure that I
had every single final say, whereas in the past, I
think that maybe I've been kind of bulldozed into agreeing
with what the producers or the engineers might have wanted
me to do, and I only just started speaking up
(23:14):
for myself in the studio the last handful of years
and this particular album. Nothing went on that album that
I wasn't one hundred percent like fully Alisa JC blue
stamps certified Blue is the brand. We'll talk about that,
I hope also with all, but this album is on.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Me in that way.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It's also one hundred percent me because I'm so many
different genres. There's pop, but there's blues, there's an maricana,
there's reggae, there's rap, there's folk, there's country, and there's
just I love all these genres and I've been doing
all I've been doing this multi genre thing since I
opened my mouth for the first time in two thousand
and five. The very first EP that I put out
was three different, completely different genres of songs, and I've
(23:54):
been doing that for twenty years. So this this is
a very important album also because it pinpoints a lot
of the hardships and the just the mountains I've climbed
and the places that I've reached in my own personal life.
And it's I think it's a great storytelling album.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It really is.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
And I'm we'll touch on one of those the blues
version you mentioned about that talking about it. I want
it to rain, and what's toward at the bottom of
the record too. I love this song, and there was
a great blues version because we all love blues music.
It's got to pull us out of the doldrums, and
you've done that.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I love that song, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I first recorded I recorded that song in twenty fourteen
or fifteen as a pop version, and the way that
I recorded on that album is the original way that
I wrote it. So I wrote it bluesy, recorded it pop,
and people kept liking the bluesy version when I play
it live. Why don't you record it that way, I'm like,
you know what, You're right. So now I have that
second version and I just it just is so it's
(24:50):
so me.
Speaker 18 (24:50):
It is so me.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
This album is me. That song is so me. I'm
so thankful that you listen to those songs too. It
makes me really happy. Took the time. Thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
It's what we do here on the show. Always got
to get the homework up there to the assignment is
we're gonna interview with this to jac today. Make sure
you do your homework here on the backstage right.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Blue windscreen on your microphone. You understood the blue assignment?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Yeah, because blue is my favorite color and apparently it's yours.
Two right there you go, and that's sure does love
that one too as well. And also you had a
lot of cool things off that record too. Loved Man
of God. This was a beautiful song to love that
one too, and and right there with it, love doesn't
Love tell us about both?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Man of God is probably the most honest I have
ever been in a song. I did write it about
my marriage, and I quoted my husband and ex husband
in that song.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And it's a real gut the gut sucker punched at
the gut kind of song, and sometimes I cheer up
when I sing it, so I kind of have to
gather my together before I sing that Love doesn't Love.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That was a song I wrote, same thing.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I was married at the time, and I was listening
to a lot of Chris Stapleton, and I was inspired
by Tennessee Whiskey in that particular moment, just his his
version of it, and that song is about that that
relationship as well. And this album really has a lot
of There's just so many stories too. It's some of
the two of these songs I don't have anything to
(26:20):
do with my life at all. This there's raps in
there too. I just I really encourage anyone who wants
a full blown ride across the life of someone who
loves so many different genres and music. I encourage you
to listen to Showing Up.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
And we're gonna spell it for you here too as well,
because I always say Alyssa j C dot com, make
sure you guys do that j A C E Y
dot com, Melissa A.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
L Y s s A. Make sure you guys go
to that website there. See, we just cover all different
things here. We've been spelled it for it. It's like
a spell check this.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Out you guys ready and L I S S A
J A C E y oh so dumb, but it's
stuck in your head.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
It gets stuck in your head. You've had me thinking
what the what the daughter was actually into? Which a
m o usc that's exactly what.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You're gonna have to spell my name along and I'm
sorry that.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Her name and play your music a lot more around
her too. Let's talk about this one single last year,
New New. Let's talk about this one.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
This one I wrote, and actually I co wrote this song.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I went to one of my buddies and I was like,
I want to write a song for Selling Sunset or
that's a TV show and I want to write a
song for back to school ads for Target or Kohle's
or Old maybe No Roch or whatever. And we wrote
this song specifically for SYNC and it sounds nothing like me.
I hope the first song you' all listen to is
not this song, because this is not how I sound.
(27:46):
I'm very nasal leap on purpose, I tried to sound
like a Fergie Meat Swen Stefani. I just got a
very different and no I mean I mean purposely did
that and it's just it fits the song. So New
New is there upbet pop dance pop song and it's
actually up for actually top shelf. The Vibe and New
New are all up for nominations this year Song of
(28:09):
the Year and Artists of the Year for the Josinese Acords.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
That's the organization we know very well out there too,
and those ladies do a lot of work with that too.
Congratulations to you because I love everything they've done. And
when I say award nominated, they've done that a couple
of times for me out there for Radio Station of
the Year. So they are awesome, great people, and you're
gonna have fun. I wish I was going to the
show this year to be there, but so much stuff
is going on. You're gonna have a lot of fun.
And I wouldn't be surprised if they call your name
(28:33):
on stage to win in your specific category. Out there,
all right, I'm gonna go back to some old school
I'd tell you we listened to some good stuff out there.
We listen, so I don't have any questions you could
ask about deston, but I'm gonna go back to the
first record deston. I love this one too, because would
it be surprising? I tell you, I listened to the
whole album.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I did.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I surprised to hear that, yes, but.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
In particular Drowning Me. Let's go there for that record too,
because I thought it was a great song, well done,
great writing.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
And it spoke to me.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I'm glad that you shows that one destined to be honest.
That's my fifth album I put out about ten and
that's probably halfway through. So I'm so glad you didn't
go all the way back back because you might want
to talk to me if you heard all the earlier
songs like Oh my Ears, My Ears, Drowning Me I
wrote six months after moving to Nashville, so in June
it just had it's thirteenth birthday and I remember listening
(29:21):
to a lot of Alicia Keys at the time, and
I remember writing this song. And after I finished it,
as I usually do, I sent it to my mom
and dad and brother and I'm like, you, guys, I
think this is I think this is it. I think
this is a song that's going to change my life.
And I remember my brother asking me, the old guy
is that about?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
I couldn't answer because I'm like, I don't is it
about a guy I don't know? And it took me
another six months to figure out it actually is not
about a relationship.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
It's about my relationship with my ex city.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So it's really about San Diego, and if you listen
to it, it can easily people are like, oh, I
hear that song, I think about my father in law
when he was drinking himself to death, or I think
about this relationship I was in, or wow, it's related.
I'm relating it to my old city when I left
my hometown, and so you can really kind of associate
it with a lot of different things.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
But it really did take off very quickly.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I have two versions of that song now too, and
it's the only song I've ever written where I went
out to go sing it for the first time and
it got requested twice at that show and for many
many years after that, for almost every show I played,
people request Drowning Me twice per show, and that's a feeling.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'll never forget. I'll never forget it. Drowning Me is
my child.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
There's always a great part of that and a piece
of your Chili. It was right there too.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
You love those songs to become your babies, and never
lose that body of work too. Best feeling of being
on stage like I will never know that, but as
a performer, when you get on stage, tell me what
kind of goes through the mind, the body and the
feeling the emotion you get.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
The very first thing that came to mind was my
very first standing ovation when I opened for Sean Colvin
and to have opened for Sean Colvin at the Coach
House in San Juan Capistrrodo, California. It's about a seven
hundred seedt venue where I was told that only national
acts and signed acts can play there, and I've now
played there about ten or eleven times.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And I listened to Sean.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Early when she first was when when we first came
out with Sonny came home, and never could I ever
have guessed I would ever end up opening for her.
And there's a song on an old album of mine.
The album's called on the Spot. The song is called
Down and I had just written in like a couple
weeks before this show, and I decided to close the
(31:34):
show with it. And you can see a snippet of
this on YouTube on barefoot and you can see my
little feet just like kik a kick a kick, because
I was just so excited and people stood up and
they were screaming, and I just that was such as
that's a different feeling getting a standing ovation and everyone
whistling and yelling for you. But every single time I
get on stage, I'm so excited to connect.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
With the audience. I love talking to you guys.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I love making eye contact. I love smiling at you.
I like asking you questions and you asking me questions.
My shows are not my shows, they're our shows. So
you come to a list of JACS show, We're in
it together. It's so freaking fun. I love playing live, So.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
I get to come to one next time we're around.
Or can I come out there and see you and
be a guest and have a little fun with you
and enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You don't someone's gonna get.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Hurt, Brandon, Yeah, I know you could probably beat me up,
so I don't want to get hurt.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I'm just going to stand back and hold the microphone,
let you do your thing, and I'll just ask the
questions and we'll stay on the safe side.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Even though, like I said, I know.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Like I said, I always tell people, yeah, black belt
in taekwondo, but nearer Lissa jac I'm gonna just back
off and then I'll come to a show. I don't
want to get hurt out there. I got to keep
the pipes. Hey, Speaking of the pipes, we'll finish up
here with a couple of fun questions.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
How do you keep the vocals? And what do you
do for the vocal cords?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Are here people drink whiskey, a lot of water, hydrated
this and that, get a lot of sleep. What do
you do to take care of the pipes?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I die well.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I do in vocal warm ups before every show. I
didn't used to do that, and that is a stupid move.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
At least for me.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
So I now do about a thirty five to forty
five minute vocal warm up before shows.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I do not talk on the phone or I tried
really hard on show days.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
To not have conversations as much as I possibly can
because it's so tiring on your voice. And right before
I go on or as a part of my vocal warms,
I sing along to some of my favorite songs that
I know I can sing well, and so I don't
tire out my voice.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
If you were never a singer and you've done all
these career titles, but was there another passion had you
not become an artist, what other occupation would you have
stuck to? It would have been a motivational speaker or
something else.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Well, at first, my whole life was surrounded by a dance.
I thought I was going to be Usher's backup dancer.
Like Usher and Janel Jackson, those are my goals. I
wanted to dance with them, and I got to the
super Bowl and that's freaking awesome. But then nothing happened
from that. And I'm not surprised because I did not
go after my dance career nearly as like a fraction
as much as I've gone out for music, and that
(33:58):
it just shows me that I'm definitely in the right
right now.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
But I with a chosen dance, Yes, I love it.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
You have a great dancer too, no doubt. I've seen
some video out there too, did my homework, and I'm like,
he's great. She could have made it with us, your
and jan Janet Jackson and then anybody Michael Jackson. She'd
have danced a great background through thriller. I could just
see a Lisa Jayz just doing all the things out
there with thriller and having fun and do all that
kind of stuff excellent moves.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
I love it too, all right.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Give me the alyssa j c favorite food either to
cook or to eat out or one of those times
where you're like, you know what I'm craving this?

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Just like you did with that radio liner. Great job
of that at the top. Here, Hey, give us a
little background of you. You've got all these titles and
I love this because the email that I got from
you too, which really had me interested in you going
after as an artist. I went, you know what, the
best kept secret since Bruno Mars. I had to love
that too as well because Bruno Mars is such an
icon ertainment. But tell me a little bit about your background.
And you're like all over the place when it comes
(02:03):
to different job titles and things that you do, from
motivational speaker to artists to a lot of things. Give
me a little bit about your background and just the
passion for music.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Absolutely well, that was the first for me to hear
about that Bruno Mars thing because I didn't send that email,
so it was nice to hear that someone else promoted
me that way. It started. My whole singing career started
as a dancer, so I grew up in San Diego.
I was dancing since four years old, ballet, jazz, hat,
hip hop. I danced in the Super Bowl Super Bowl
thirty seven. You could see my audition and my time
(02:34):
on the field on YouTube if you look a blissed
JAYC dancer. I moved to Los Angeles in two thousand and.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Three, just after the Super Bowl to teach.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Dance and I was working one and four part time
jobs when my coworkers heard me singing to myself at
work and thought I had a good voice. Forced me
to try karaoke, and that is how I learned I
could sing. I had zero intention of being in the
music industry, and after a year of seeing karaoke, I
got addicted to it. I started writing songs, are releasing songs.
I started playing live shows. I taught myself guitar and
(03:04):
within three years I opened for Bruno twice and it
was just before he got on the Grammys for the
first time. And from there, eight years later, I moved
to Nashville. I've been here for almost fourteen years now,
and ever since moving here, I've become a professional motivational
I call it inspirational speaker in Ireland and Sweden, all
over the US. I started a jewelry business last year
(03:24):
listed jac Designs, where I make jewelry for kids and
adults and pets that you can wear up to fifteen ways.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I still teach dance.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I started producing and editing my own videos, doing my
own photo shoots. I am a career coach as well
model and actress. Signs to an agency of I've a
signed drummer as of last month.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I love it, so learn a number of hats out
there too, master of all the trade, no doubt of
the love it out there, and you entertain the best
thing we'd say, Hey, tell me about this song that
came out in April, the vibe. I want to hear
all about this too, because it really gave me the
vibe looking back at it to you, I love this too.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'm so glad that you do.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's my first released R and B tune, and if
any of you take some time to listen to my music,
it's a wide variety of pop and blues and country
and Americana and some reggae and I rap a little bit.
But this song is the first R and B song
that I released, and I kicks them from me watching
a how to video on how to learn how to
use the focus right music recording thing. So I was
(04:25):
watching this video, I'm like, oh my gosh, this woman
singing the song. She sounds so good, and I was
so inspired. I had to put it on pause and
grab my guitar and I started writing a song. And
it really had nothing to do with my life. It
just was a story that came to me at that moment.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I love it too. That's the beauty of it too.
Is that kind of worse songwriting kind of factors into it.
I guess are you a fan of it? Because some
people may not be a fan of songwriting. It is
a process, no doubt, when it comes down to it.
Some things, I know fantasy, some things can can come
from those real life experiences.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Talk about your process of songwriting.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I was putting away laundry the other day and I
opened my mouth and like a half of a song
came out. I just it does not matter. I could
be doing absolutely nothing or doing something that could be
sparking inspiration, and I just start a song.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I can.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
A lot of my songs come from driving.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'm sure a lot of people who tour all over
the US and drive to and from their shows. I'm
sure you guys have written songs into your phone with.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Your face like I have. But yeah, sometimes I just
go ahead and then a song comes out.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I just bill the bay stuff a great idea and
creating something from nothing out there too at the same time,
and just seeing it come to life. I guess, kind
of like a newborn newborn child can I say about that,
it's time.

I tell you one of their great cars. They last
a long time too as well, and it changes the
car buying experience at eight six, six, three two five
seventy nine eighty two or jksuper dot com out there too. Again,
thanks to our friends the Caden Gordon Show, B and
B Construction Services and the Morell Law Firm for all
they do here for us to keep us afloat here
(10:47):
on this podcast. Expensive to run these things. If you
guys are interested in advertising, find more information at the
Sports Guys podcast dot com. So this one had a
lot of fun to it too, but you mentioned the
background of just dancing at choreography of becoming a new
loving music so much motivational speaker. This song Top shelf
had it all. I love this when a listen was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, do you want to know about the background, Yes,
it's all about it. This style is probably my favorite
style to sing on par with R and B. But
like blues and soul, I just in a little like
tinge of pop. It's always been my favorite style of
music to listen to as well as to perform and
sing live. And I wanted to write a song that
(11:29):
mirrored where I was at that particular point in my life.
I had finally reached a point where I was so
sick of choosing all the well liquors in the world
to date and Mary so married and divorce once and
I kind of refer to those decisions as the well
lookers at bottom shelves, and I was no longer want
to be making bottom shelf decisions, only.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Top shelf decisions from hell on. So it's kind of
like a tongue in cheek high back there, like a
tongue in.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Cheek song about it, as I'm talking about husbands and
bottom shells and alcohol.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Hello child in the background.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yes, So there you go about choosing top shelf for yourself,
not just for drinking, but better decisions in general.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Looking back on it too, looking back at music, so
many talented ladies are kind of doing their thing in
Nashville right now. Talk about that because not just what
Lanny Wilson's been doing on the countryside, but you get
so many talented ladies who've moved there and not afraid
to take the risk when it comes to jumping into
the fire and a man. They've done that, They put
out great songs. What's the kind of this women's movement me?
Not just the country, but are and be and pop
and seeing so many great females do their things out there.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yes, absolutely I know that movement. And Laney is someone
I watched very closely. I'm a huge fan of her,
mainly because of who she is as a person. Never
met her, but I don't think you can fake being
that authentic. So and I think her authenticity oozes through
her music and who's through the cameras and her interviews
and how she treats other people and her fans. It's
so important for people like myself and artists in general,
(12:50):
not just females but just any generation to see people
going after their dream. And Mary Morris is someone who
I love me or hate me for saying this, but
I really look up to her. She knows exactly who
she is, She's not going to put up with any shit,
and she's just awesome. She loves she loves what she does,
and she loves who she is. And so I'm a
fan of what's happening right now.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Absolutely, And it's hard being an independent artists, like, you've
done this for a long time and it's hard to
get and it's I say, it's it's still it's never
easy if you signed to a record label, but even
the more of the work that's on you, being an
independent artist is more challenging, right.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Absolutely well, of course, because up until January, I didn't
have a team. I've been in the industry for twenty years.
January was my twenty year anniversary. Never had a booking agent,
never had a PR person, never had a manager, and
I'm still doing a lot of that work on my
own now, but it's it's also I'm building a team,
and it's really really nice to have that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
So you guys, if you're.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Listening out there and you're like, oh my god, I
don't know if I can wait twenty years. Maybe it
took twenty years for me and might take twenty.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Days for you. Just never give up, never ever ever
give up.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I know it's a cliche, but I'm telling you, if
you love what you're doing, you cannot give up.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Word of advice I heard on this radio show too,
like don't do it in the first year brand and
don't do that, And I'm like, Okay, I'm glad I
never I followed your advice, and I'm glad I didn't
give up when he came down of that too. Because
radio podcasting music it overlaps too. That's why I do
a little bit of sports talk here on too as well,
about people's favorite teams all that kind of stuff. It's
hard to make it as an athlete, hard to make
it as a musician. Hell, it's hard to become a
doctor in these days when it comes down to it,
(14:20):
and go to medical school. Whatever it is you love,
do not give up out there too as well. Time

(21:38):
this song here, welcome back to the backstage pass and
this is great you guys putting out the music video
August fifteen.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Tell us all about this video and the song itself. Sure.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
One of the things I started doing post Pandemic was
doing my own videos, and this is the fifth or
sixth video that I shot, produced edited everything myself, So
I take a lot of pride in it is a
simple video, is just a few different you know, it's
one location, a few different angles, but I colored it
all and I made sure that the camera is placed
just so.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And I think it really goes really well with what
this song is about.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And it is as simple as it's going to be
fine with the title, and it happened to be a very,
very sunny day, which I was very lucky about.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
So when you listen to this song, it's very.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Hopeful, uplifting song, and you're gonna watch the video and
it's gonna make you feel really really good.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
When you look at albums and you put out a
couple of different albums too, let's go back to the
Showing Up record too, love this one. A lot of
great songs off for there. I got a chance to
listen to a lot of the too, including the title
track itself, some of your best highlights from the last
album too, and some things that you're taking there like
that we're done well. Some things that you obviously, like
all artist want to say, yeah, we put that out
body of work, we improve on it, we get ready
for the next project. Things like that, talk about just
(22:50):
the making of the record and some of the highlights
off there.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I think every artist aspires to make their next album
better than their last, and that is absolutely what this
album has done for me. I made sure that I
had every single final say, whereas in the past, I
think that maybe I've been kind of bulldozed into agreeing
with what the producers or the engineers might have wanted
me to do, and I only just started speaking up
(23:14):
for myself in the studio the last handful of years
and this particular album. Nothing went on that album that
I wasn't one hundred percent like fully Alisa JC blue
stamps certified Blue is the brand. We'll talk about that,
I hope also with all, but this album is on.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Me in that way.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It's also one hundred percent me because I'm so many
different genres. There's pop, but there's blues, there's an maricana,
there's reggae, there's rap, there's folk, there's country, and there's
just I love all these genres and I've been doing
all I've been doing this multi genre thing since I
opened my mouth for the first time in two thousand
and five. The very first EP that I put out
was three different, completely different genres of songs, and I've
(23:54):
been doing that for twenty years. So this this is
a very important album also because it pinpoints a lot
of the hardships and the just the mountains I've climbed
and the places that I've reached in my own personal life.
And it's I think it's a great storytelling album.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It really is.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
And I'm we'll touch on one of those the blues
version you mentioned about that talking about it. I want
it to rain, and what's toward at the bottom of
the record too. I love this song, and there was
a great blues version because we all love blues music.
It's got to pull us out of the doldrums, and
you've done that.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I love that song, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I first recorded I recorded that song in twenty fourteen
or fifteen as a pop version, and the way that
I recorded on that album is the original way that
I wrote it. So I wrote it bluesy, recorded it pop,
and people kept liking the bluesy version when I play
it live. Why don't you record it that way, I'm like,
you know what, You're right. So now I have that
second version and I just it just is so it's
(24:50):
so me.
Speaker 18 (24:50):
It is so me.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
This album is me. That song is so me. I'm
so thankful that you listen to those songs too. It
makes me really happy. Took the time. Thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
It's what we do here on the show. Always got
to get the homework up there to the assignment is
we're gonna interview with this to jac today. Make sure
you do your homework here on the backstage right.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Blue windscreen on your microphone. You understood the blue assignment?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Yeah, because blue is my favorite color and apparently it's yours.
Two right there you go, and that's sure does love
that one too as well. And also you had a
lot of cool things off that record too. Loved Man
of God. This was a beautiful song to love that
one too, and and right there with it, love doesn't
Love tell us about both?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Man of God is probably the most honest I have
ever been in a song. I did write it about
my marriage, and I quoted my husband and ex husband
in that song.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And it's a real gut the gut sucker punched at
the gut kind of song, and sometimes I cheer up
when I sing it, so I kind of have to
gather my together before I sing that Love doesn't Love.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That was a song I wrote, same thing.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I was married at the time, and I was listening
to a lot of Chris Stapleton, and I was inspired
by Tennessee Whiskey in that particular moment, just his his
version of it, and that song is about that that
relationship as well. And this album really has a lot
of There's just so many stories too. It's some of
the two of these songs I don't have anything to
(26:20):
do with my life at all. This there's raps in
there too. I just I really encourage anyone who wants
a full blown ride across the life of someone who
loves so many different genres and music. I encourage you
to listen to Showing Up.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
And we're gonna spell it for you here too as well,
because I always say Alyssa j C dot com, make
sure you guys do that j A C E Y
dot com, Melissa A.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
L Y s s A. Make sure you guys go
to that website there. See, we just cover all different
things here. We've been spelled it for it. It's like
a spell check this.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Out you guys ready and L I S S A
J A C E y oh so dumb, but it's
stuck in your head.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
It gets stuck in your head. You've had me thinking
what the what the daughter was actually into? Which a
m o usc that's exactly what.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You're gonna have to spell my name along and I'm
sorry that.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Her name and play your music a lot more around
her too. Let's talk about this one single last year,
New New. Let's talk about this one.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
This one I wrote, and actually I co wrote this song.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I went to one of my buddies and I was like,
I want to write a song for Selling Sunset or
that's a TV show and I want to write a
song for back to school ads for Target or Kohle's
or Old maybe No Roch or whatever. And we wrote
this song specifically for SYNC and it sounds nothing like me.
I hope the first song you' all listen to is
not this song, because this is not how I sound.
(27:46):
I'm very nasal leap on purpose, I tried to sound
like a Fergie Meat Swen Stefani. I just got a
very different and no I mean I mean purposely did
that and it's just it fits the song. So New
New is there upbet pop dance pop song and it's
actually up for actually top shelf. The Vibe and New
New are all up for nominations this year Song of
(28:09):
the Year and Artists of the Year for the Josinese Acords.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
That's the organization we know very well out there too,
and those ladies do a lot of work with that too.
Congratulations to you because I love everything they've done. And
when I say award nominated, they've done that a couple
of times for me out there for Radio Station of
the Year. So they are awesome, great people, and you're
gonna have fun. I wish I was going to the
show this year to be there, but so much stuff
is going on. You're gonna have a lot of fun.
And I wouldn't be surprised if they call your name
(28:33):
on stage to win in your specific category. Out there,
all right, I'm gonna go back to some old school
I'd tell you we listened to some good stuff out there.
We listen, so I don't have any questions you could
ask about deston, but I'm gonna go back to the
first record deston. I love this one too, because would
it be surprising? I tell you, I listened to the
whole album.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I did.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I surprised to hear that, yes, but.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
In particular Drowning Me. Let's go there for that record too,
because I thought it was a great song, well done,
great writing.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
And it spoke to me.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I'm glad that you shows that one destined to be honest.
That's my fifth album I put out about ten and
that's probably halfway through. So I'm so glad you didn't
go all the way back back because you might want
to talk to me if you heard all the earlier
songs like Oh my Ears, My Ears, Drowning Me I
wrote six months after moving to Nashville, so in June
it just had it's thirteenth birthday and I remember listening
(29:21):
to a lot of Alicia Keys at the time, and
I remember writing this song. And after I finished it,
as I usually do, I sent it to my mom
and dad and brother and I'm like, you, guys, I
think this is I think this is it. I think
this is a song that's going to change my life.
And I remember my brother asking me, the old guy
is that about?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
I couldn't answer because I'm like, I don't is it
about a guy I don't know? And it took me
another six months to figure out it actually is not
about a relationship.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
It's about my relationship with my ex city.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So it's really about San Diego, and if you listen
to it, it can easily people are like, oh, I
hear that song, I think about my father in law
when he was drinking himself to death, or I think
about this relationship I was in, or wow, it's related.
I'm relating it to my old city when I left
my hometown, and so you can really kind of associate
it with a lot of different things.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
But it really did take off very quickly.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I have two versions of that song now too, and
it's the only song I've ever written where I went
out to go sing it for the first time and
it got requested twice at that show and for many
many years after that, for almost every show I played,
people request Drowning Me twice per show, and that's a feeling.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'll never forget. I'll never forget it. Drowning Me is
my child.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
There's always a great part of that and a piece
of your Chili. It was right there too.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
You love those songs to become your babies, and never
lose that body of work too. Best feeling of being
on stage like I will never know that, but as
a performer, when you get on stage, tell me what
kind of goes through the mind, the body and the
feeling the emotion you get.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
The very first thing that came to mind was my
very first standing ovation when I opened for Sean Colvin
and to have opened for Sean Colvin at the Coach
House in San Juan Capistrrodo, California. It's about a seven
hundred seedt venue where I was told that only national
acts and signed acts can play there, and I've now
played there about ten or eleven times.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And I listened to Sean.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Early when she first was when when we first came
out with Sonny came home, and never could I ever
have guessed I would ever end up opening for her.
And there's a song on an old album of mine.
The album's called on the Spot. The song is called
Down and I had just written in like a couple
weeks before this show, and I decided to close the
(31:34):
show with it. And you can see a snippet of
this on YouTube on barefoot and you can see my
little feet just like kik a kick a kick, because
I was just so excited and people stood up and
they were screaming, and I just that was such as
that's a different feeling getting a standing ovation and everyone
whistling and yelling for you. But every single time I
get on stage, I'm so excited to connect.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
With the audience. I love talking to you guys.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I love making eye contact. I love smiling at you.
I like asking you questions and you asking me questions.
My shows are not my shows, they're our shows. So
you come to a list of JACS show, We're in
it together. It's so freaking fun. I love playing live, So.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
I get to come to one next time we're around.
Or can I come out there and see you and
be a guest and have a little fun with you
and enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You don't someone's gonna get.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Hurt, Brandon, Yeah, I know you could probably beat me up,
so I don't want to get hurt.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I'm just going to stand back and hold the microphone,
let you do your thing, and I'll just ask the
questions and we'll stay on the safe side.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Even though, like I said, I know.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Like I said, I always tell people, yeah, black belt
in taekwondo, but nearer Lissa jac I'm gonna just back
off and then I'll come to a show. I don't
want to get hurt out there. I got to keep
the pipes. Hey, Speaking of the pipes, we'll finish up
here with a couple of fun questions.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
How do you keep the vocals? And what do you
do for the vocal cords?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Are here people drink whiskey, a lot of water, hydrated
this and that, get a lot of sleep. What do
you do to take care of the pipes?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I die well.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I do in vocal warm ups before every show. I
didn't used to do that, and that is a stupid move.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
At least for me.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
So I now do about a thirty five to forty
five minute vocal warm up before shows.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I do not talk on the phone or I tried
really hard on show days.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
To not have conversations as much as I possibly can
because it's so tiring on your voice. And right before
I go on or as a part of my vocal warms,
I sing along to some of my favorite songs that
I know I can sing well, and so I don't
tire out my voice.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
If you were never a singer and you've done all
these career titles, but was there another passion had you
not become an artist, what other occupation would you have
stuck to? It would have been a motivational speaker or
something else.
