Speaker 1 (00:00):

your Bay Area broadcasting network and on iHeartRadio podcasts and
anytime at the Sports Guys Podcast dot com. You can
also stream the show on THWN dot org.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Thanks and welcome inside the Backstage Pass. Always a busy
day and still yeah recooping from CMA Fest to week
out there too twenty twenty five if you missed it, guys,
a lot of content out there iHeartRadio podcast, the Sports
Guys Podcast dot com, and KYBN ninety eight point one,
your Bay Area Broadcasting network. And of course thanks to
all the great sponsors that made it possible out there too.
(00:42):
We could not have done it without you too. At
the same time, you guys know who you are and
we appreciate all the support out there at the Kadangordons
Show dot com Today's best Country Mix, and of course
our friends are all about RV's out there too. At
the same time, well, I tell you what she was
on season twenty two of the hit TV series The Voice.
Everybody knows that show. If you don't, you've probably been
hidden under a rock somewhere too, but she was not
(01:03):
hitting under a rock. She was out there with coach
John Legend. A lot of love joined us here to
talk about the latest music out there across all the DSPs.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
A lot of how you doing, hey 'all doing good,
happy to be here, thanks.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
For having me, Glad to have you here. Wey take
me back to that season I mentioned season twenty two.
Everybody Knows a great hit show. And I love this
show because there's so many good things that happen, not
just from the coaches and all the legends that sit
in those chairs and you smash the button and you
get all those big turns out there too, but it's
a pretty cool thing. Like you knew when you auditioned
there was something special about it, and also working with
(01:35):
coach John Legend. Give me some of those memories, and
just from the audition all the way through that competition.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, I mean, it was such a great experience and
I really loved all of it. It just happened so
fast for me. I had about a week to prepare,
and which is probably good in retrospect because the audition
process can be really laborious. But I was just kind
of in and out had to pick a song and
just go with it. So I the whole time, I
(02:03):
was just like kind of on pins and needles for
about a week, hoping that someone would turn their chair
for me. And it happened to be the best coach
of all the coaches. Not that I'm you know, biased,
but he was. He was really great. John Legend is
a legend to the fullest degree of that work.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He sure has no doubt too, Like I said, one
heck of a musician in his own right to a
great singer songwriter. You mentioned collabs. We're talking a little
bit before we kind of went live here on the
show here looking at it, but these collapse coming over
now seeing a bunch of them crossing over from R
and B and pop and you know, country and all
worlds kind of coming together. And it's kind of a
beautiful thing because you get a little bit of that
reinforcement varieties of spice of like give me your take
(02:47):
on some of these collabs now too, and you look
at like post Malone and Acon crossing over in the
country music, give me some thoughts on that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, I just think that we're not one color anymore,
which is awesome, Like I feel like genre bending is
the cool new thing because there's not, you know, one
direction for everyone. Like I love that Akon just hopped
on a country record that's dope and ghost Face Killing.
I just did a collaboration that came out on Friday,
and that was really cool because we're really from two
(03:17):
totally different worlds. So I think the blending of the
worlds is what art is about, and I love to
see it. I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Go back to your first EP. I loved a lot
of the songs off of their American Love and of
course Lost Boy and Scared Like Me. It was one
of my favorite songs that was out there September twenty
twenty one. And kind of the growth that you develop
and you find your sound as an artist and kind
of you know who you want to be and identify
yourself after coming off that show, because music goes a
(03:45):
long way from what you sing, from auditions to getting
on your own to finding a great team put behind
you until now and putting out these two songs came
out there last Friday. Talk about just that growth from
your first EP until now?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, I love that question because I think everything, like
you said, it's been so incremental. It's like you put
out the EP, then you do the voice, then you
put out another song, then you know, and each one
is just like one rung on the ladder, and it
feels very like climbing a mountain, and sometimes you hit
a plateau and then you need to get a new
teammate and then you need, you know, the next set
(04:20):
of press and then the next song and the next collaboration.
It just feels always like you're climbing, and that's the
beautiful part about it. And I think I've really surrendered
to that climb in a lot of ways and just
been like, all right, show me what's next. I'm in
an ocean of possibilities and the current's taken me this way,
so I'm just going to keep swimming. And it's been
(04:41):
very much just like an incremental process, like you were saying,
So from day one of releasing American Love, like I'm
a totally different person than the girl that made that record,
which is so cool, and you can hear it in
my sound and in my music, and so it's nice
to be able to go on that journey with me,
you know, on my journey with me.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Too, no doubt We're gonna keep that journey going with
you too. Like you said, I, it's just kind of
full of ocean currents out there. You just got to
ride the wave and just go go with it. Perfect
analogy right there too. We're gonna play one here a
little bit from a lot of love here on the
backstage past. I want to go back to one before
we do it, A loaded gun from that first ep.
I love that there was a good vibe and kind
(05:21):
of a cool feel with this one. It was kind
of dope too at the same time. I loved it.
Tell us all about this one nice.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm glad that you brought that song up.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That one.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Like, when I was recording it, I vividly remember the
first take. It was just one take and so and
I just got nailed it in the first one, and
I was like, oh, this is exactly what I.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Wanted it to say.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I wanted it to feel like an old Western and
bring back my hotlant of roots. So I feel like
that's what the song was about.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's a beautiful song. I love that one too. And
then I got to go back to a little bit
of this was a parachute. Yes, I gotta go back
to this one because I love this song. A lot
of cool metings with this one too, and people can
really resonate. I feel that with your music too, lyrically, instrumentally,
all different things that you do in these songs tell
us all about parachute.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I really love parachute because it was the first song
that I ever tuned to four thirty two herts, and
I actually put out two versions of the song, one
in four forty, which is standard pop hurts, and then
one in four thirty two, which is a healing frequency,
so I wanted listeners to be able to have both
perspectives of hearing both and seeing how their body resonated.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I love that too. Great explanation too, of the music
the area, and I think that's that you mentioned the
crossovers too. That variety is kind of the spice of
wife with music now too, because you're right, it's just,
you know, it's like different flavors of potato chips are
not just like the classic laze anymore. You got everything
from spicy chips out there to just playing Jaine stuff
out there to medium, and that kind of thing almost
feels like U styles of hot wings there or something
(06:50):
like that. But I love this because you love it.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
That's exactly right. We're not just one donut. Sometimes I
want to play donuts. Sometimes I want the sprinkles.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm here before I bring it up because I had
that conversation with a lot of people in Nashville, you know,
people in the industry and coming off seeing Makefest and
not just seeing you know, Akon and Gary Levox there
too for their song, but also looking at I mean
Kid Rock showing up and he posts alone how he's
impacting all the different aspects of country music right now
and just buying into it too. And like I said,
I love the different flavors out there because now we
(07:23):
mentioned social media how much it's changed, you know, aspects
of it. You type in somebody's name, you pull up
their music, you learn all about them. And it's different
now with streaming than it was maybe twenty thirty years ago.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Right, it's totally different. I think, you know, you used
to be able to just get by on good music.
Now it's like who are you? What are you saying?
You know, what's your message?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Who are you as a person?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And it's really actually pretty cool that we can let
people into our lives and let them really connect with
us and get to know who we are, not just
from our music.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I love it and this song is going to tell
you guys how much we love it. Here on the
backstage past ghost Face kill Us, you mentioned that one too,
Lost Boys Here. It is across all the DSPs out there.
iHeart radio podcasts. Are frantic kyb in ninety eight point one.

I'll still swing some guitars and some lyrics out there.
So check out my song Hi right here on the
Sports Guys Podcast and always stay tuned and back here
on the show again. A lot of love joining us
here at the backstage of ask us again and check
out all our sponsors, all the good stuff out there
the Sports Guyspodcast dot com and Lost Boys. And I
(12:07):
love this one too because you really put your just
really good feeling this one too. And I mentioned lyrically
and a lot of cool things that ghost Face Killer
and we mentioned all the different collabs now taking a
cool song like this, and I mean Boys with a
Ze which is always a cool thing. And this one
you mentioned recording in the studio. This had to be
fun to kind of see this project really come alive, right.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, it was so neat Like from day one. I
met ghost Face while I was serving tables at the
Chelsea Hotel and one of my friends who lived at
the hotel hops on top of the piano because she
knew that Wu Tang clan was there that night and
says Lana has to sing, and so they were all like, well,
(12:46):
if this girl is jumping on top of a piano,
you gotta do something. So I ended up playing some
Gaga and doing some original tunes and they were like,
what else you got?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
What else you got?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
And so I played a set and they invited me
back to the studio and then I played them Lost
Boys and Ghosts was like, I'll hop on that and
I was like for real and he was like, yeah,
do you want me to produce it out? And I
was like, I'm not going to say no. So from
there I ended up making an entire EP which is
(13:18):
coming out August twenty second called Sorry I'm Human with
ghost Face Killers head engineer and producer and it's been
a really cool process, but it all stemmed from.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That one that one joint that's crazy and stories coming
to life too. You got a story to.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Tell, you said, I've got a lot of stories to tell.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well, tell me some of these stories about the challenging
parts of this industry because it's ever changing, no doubt.
I mean, obviously I think it's harder because I interview
a lot more female artists on this program than I
do male artists. It just happens to work out that way.
And of course I always love girl power when it
comes to it. But the challenges you have to face
in this industry with so much talent right now, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, I think you just you really have to be
cool with the unknown, and that I think it's the
hardest part, because there's so much uncertainty in this business
and cool with rejection, like you gotta be. You gotta
just get really tough, thick skin. And I think that's
in life in general, but especially in this business. Like
(14:17):
and of course being a woman, you know you're gonna
get hit on. You gotta be like, all right, who
do I want to be? How do I want to
go about this? Am I gonna run my ship? Or
am I gonna let a man run my ship? And
for me, it was always don't f with lost boys?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
She liked that.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do I like a just a same acopoy right there too?
Like that one in? Like you sut that in? That's
good stuff right there too, Uh, you know, mentioning the
country industry you got now, And of course what Lanny
Wilson's been doing out there too, and all this crossover,
you know, with collaboration with Hardy and so many people
out there too.
Speaker 11 (14:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Good to see girl power movement now for the first
time in like fifteen twenty twenty five years, and so
many ladies, not just and I guess all across all genres,
but really you see Country, it's like every lady has
their day. And you've seen how it's you mentioned about
a male dominant industry, but this is cool to see
a lot of the ladies come into life and all
genres of music, and it really should motivate I'm sure
an artist like yourself to get out there and just
(15:15):
keep kicking ass.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Right Heck, yeah, I'm here for it. And I love
Lady Wilson.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
She rocks.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That girl's got it going on, no doubt, Bill Bottom.
Country is here this day. Hey. Back to the competition.
As you go through each round and you start thinking
about song choice and wardrobe choices, things like that, and
you know what your coach is the feedback they give
you and you're mentally processing all that stuff and tell
me about just how fast of a blur that competition was.
But kind of the valuable lessons that you gained from
(15:44):
John as you go through these rounds and you take
that knowledge and you incorporate it into yourself as you
get off a platform like.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That, Yeah, you know so many decisions, like you said,
from wardrobe to what you're going to saying, like you
just have to make a choice and go with it.
And I feel like it's that way in life and
in my artistry now. So I definitely carried that momentum
with me, like, just make a choice. It's all creativity,
it doesn't actually matter. You can just go in a
(16:11):
direction and see if it works, and if it doesn't,
you pivot. And so I feel like that piece of
it was really instrumental in my development as a human
being and as a businesswoman. And as far as John goes,
like John is just so grounded and present, and he
really showed me that there's another way to be and
you don't have to get swept up in the hooplah
(16:33):
and the press and the this, and that you can
really just like show up, be present with the people
that you're around, and fully like embrace them in a
moment to moment way. And so I really loved that.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's a beautiful way to put it too, And like
I said that sincerity he had to very much and
really and they all care about their artist. John just
kind of seemed to be as he comes by so genuine,
he's so kind of upfront with things. He's telling his
honest opinion, but he's also given that really good constructive criticism.
A block of people say, and I'm sure you probably
agree with this. The real work begins when you get
off a platform like that, because then it becomes like,
I'm on my own. I learned all the great stuff,
(17:07):
the great knowledge of knowledge is power at the same time.
But now you're taking this and really studying and kind
of like facing your own music career. Correct.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Heck yeah, it's like what are you going to do
with it? What are you gonna do with the knowledge
you have and with the time that you're the Twinkie
of the moment. You got fifteen minutes, baby, you better
ride that train.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
That's a new saying right there, the Twinkie of the moment.
We're gonna use that for future shows. Here one fast,
we're gonna play the second song coming off of this
one just got released last Friday from a Lot of
Love Again. This part of the program, B and B
construction Services out there guys. If you guys want the
best in barn Dominium's custom homes, commercial remodels, steal buildings,

Speaker 2 (22:16):
And we're just gonna start like a dance party here
on this with Lona Love here on the backstage pass.
Antidote has a really cool vibe to it. That's all
about this one too. Back here on the backstage pass
with Lona Love again, ghost Face Killo. The full album
August twenty second. Can't wait for that to hear more
and more. So you put out a couple songs and
it's got the audience already wanting a lot more out
there too. Tell us all about Antidote.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah, Antidote's super cool because we made it in like
twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So I just wrote it.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I called my producer and I was like, Hey, we
gotta do this right now. It's got to come out.
And there was like a pink moon that night and
it was just the energy was right, and we just
literally got in studio twenty four hours later. We had
us home so it was a really cool experience. And
the song is about basically like saving yourself. You're the
antidote in your own life and there's a little bit
(23:05):
of poison in you, but you're still the remedy. So
that's what the song's about.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I love the songs so much, and like it comes
to songwriting and things like that. You mentioned writing it
and seeing a song come to life. Give me your
process of songwriting. Is it like just you're got to
go through it to kind of live it. Is it
just like a you get a hook, you put it
in your phone. What's your favorite part of the process.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
It's different every time, and I'm sure you get this
from a lot of artists that you talk with, but
it's kind of like pulling down like a poem from
the sky, and sometimes it comes backwards and you channel
it in and some holes are in it and you're
trying to, you know, piece it together like a jig saw,
like it feels very much like that. And then other
times it's just super streamlined, and you know, you get
(23:47):
the lightning bowlt and Antidote was that for me? It
was just like a lightning bolt. I wrote it, it
was done. I was like this is it, We got
to do this right now, and then other times it
takes like two years, you know. So sometimes it is
sitting on my phone in the four thousand voice notes
that I have four thousand plus four.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Thousand plus just a little bit there too from all
the different hooks out there too, as you travel from
city to city, and in the performing arts business, being
an artist and stepping on stage give me kind of
the favorite part of just being on stage, performing in
front of a live audience.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
You know, My favorite part is always finding a kid,
Like I love to find a kid in the audience,
like a teenager who's maybe a little moody, and I'll
just like look at them until they smile. Love So no,
but I love connecting with people. It's like it's the best.
It's literally the best. And I always try whenever I
(24:43):
go on stage beforehand, I try to have a genuine
conversation with someone I've never met before and then I
walk on stage because I feel like that's what we're
all doing when we're performing. It's like having these genuine
connections with people that we've never met before and providing
a safe space to connect.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
So I got a special request here from a Lot
of Love here, we'll see if we can make this happen.
I've got to do a show here in a couple
of weeks. We're gonna be one of my partners over
at the Golden Nugget Lake, Charles, Louisiana. We go out
there for a lot of shows, put a lot of things.
If I could wear like a Lot of Love T
shirt to the show, all right, I've got to wear
just something. Illar these country shirts, which is great, but
(25:22):
I don't have a lot of just really great pop artists. Yeah,
like antidotes something like that. I got this one for you.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I have like a I have a tea and some
Team Love gear that I'll send you away.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
My share wag bags right here, swag bag, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I got some merch.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Get with. I'll the coordinate some cool stuff out there
with some swag bag stuff and hey may give away
to some listeners out there. You just never know what
we're gonna do here. But I gotta wear some man
so the gotta wrap it out there too, because every
time we go wear somebody else's gear, they're like, who's
that person? Who's that person? If they've never heard of
them and you're like, hey, check them out, you know,
across all the streaming stuff. So it's it's a cool,
(26:01):
cool thing, all right, let's have all the fun with this,
you know. I just went went up there for CMA Fest,
and may I tell you what, there was like a
new restaurant on every corner in Nashville. It was crazy
how busy that place was. And of course I know
c Mayfest gonna be busy regardless. But I did have
my I'm a big fan of like Chicago deep Dish pizza,
and I went to this place over in Germantown called
Free one two, which is owners Actually we're from there.
(26:22):
I think they opened up there a few years ago.
But it's like a and I'm not a real big
fan of deep Dish, but this was really legit. Man,
are you deep dish pizza, thin crust? What topings? Go
on the line of love pizzas out there?
Speaker 11 (26:34):
So I'm a.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Vegan, yeah no, but we can get busy. Vegans can
get busy with some vegan cheese, really all right, like
some cashew cheese, a caulifier crust, nothing too much. I mean, look,
if I go to Chicago, I'm having Deep dish and
I'm cheating, Like I cheat at least once a year,
(26:57):
and if a pizza is put in front of me,
I'm probably gonna be it, you know. So we'll say
I'm like an eighty five percent vegan, but yeah, I
would be a cashew cheese girl. It might not be
your jam. But we're all allowed to have different interests.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
It's like music, different interests, different food. Man, That's what
makes the world go around, no doubt, it's being different.
I want to be the same, the world to be
boring if we were the same out there. Well, you
said when you're on the road out there too, and
you like to eat out and mention the Italian food
because that's just my thing. Are you into what other
kind of cuisine? What other kind of stops? So what
do you yelp something? Do you ask the locals when
you're out there?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
What do you do? Yeah, you know, it's in the Midwest,
it's very hard to find vegan food, so you have
to get very creative. So I'll you know, I'm normally
like a door dash kind of gal and I'll just
have it sent to the tour bus or wherever we're at.
But it's it's sometimes it's just you know, a Greek salad,
no cheese, no dressing, because that's all they got.
Speaker 11 (27:56):
No.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
But but again, I'll you know, sometimes I got a cheat,
all right, So you know what I'm like you religiously,
I'm in the gym.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Don't want to go to this workout today? No I don't,
But I know if I don't, I'll actually won't get
to take off the rest of the week. So it's
like you got to stay in the gym to eat
what you want to eat and kind of just be,
like I said, just out there too, to want that hamburger,
want that pizza, to want this Now I'm eating better
with the salads and things like that. But let me
ask you about that self care, taking care of your voice,
taking care of your just yourself is an overall human being,
(28:24):
your body, things like that, the steps you guys have
to go through because you're in the industry of performing
in front of live crowds, traveling so much. Talk about
that self care and how important that is.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
That's such a great question, especially today as I'm a
little bit under the weather because I've pushed it a
little too far. But you know, it really is a
different game for singers because we can't really have that
pizza all the time because then it affects our voice.
And sleep is really important when you are your product
(28:57):
life is you have to make a lot more sacks
with your life, but you're happy to do it because
number one, you feel better, but too, you can't really
function the way that you need to at a high
level if you know you're eating pizza. Pizza in my case,
so the the reason why I went vegan, that was
(29:17):
part of it, and it's it gave me a lot
more energy personally, and so that's something that I've carried
on for years and years. But I think sleep's really important.
Although I say that I don't get a lot of sleep,
but but you know, you catch up where you can
and and I think meditation has been really key for me,
just things that like ground me as much as possible
(29:38):
so that I can get out there and do my best.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
All right. So if you were not a musician or
never took that leap of faith and the voice and
auditioned and had those share turns and went far in
the competition, what other career paths would you be doing
if it was it for being a musician.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I have tried many and none of them have worked out.
I was an ice cream scooper, I was a caterer.
I worked, and I've had a lot of random jobs.
But I think like if I'm not if I'm not
singing on stage, then I'm a writer in some way,
shape or form. Like I think that words just need
(30:17):
to flow through me. So I don't know what kind
of writing job I would have, but I think I
would want to either be a reporter, you know, maybe
i'd do what you were doing.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, it has its perks, right, it does. It skids
a pretty good professional.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I'm doing it about thirty years. Next year it'll be
thirty about thirtieth year in broadcasting. Like it's just wow,
that long celebrate. I look back and I'm like where
time go and between there, I'm like, you get married
and you have a kid, You're just like you just
keep thriving and going with your own business. So it
has its perks out there too. I enjoy it, and
like I said, I wouldn't have it any other way
because for me, there really was no plan B. It
was like do this or go broke?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Right, I guess, yeah, I hear that you're a true artist.
Speaker 2 (31:01):

our friends are all about RV's out there too. At
the same time, well, I tell you what she was
on season twenty two of the hit TV series The Voice.
Everybody knows that show. If you don't, you've probably been
hidden under a rock somewhere too, but she was not
(01:03):
hitting under a rock. She was out there with coach
John Legend. A lot of love joined us here to
talk about the latest music out there across all the DSPs.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
A lot of how you doing, hey 'all doing good,
happy to be here, thanks.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
For having me, Glad to have you here. Wey take
me back to that season I mentioned season twenty two.
Everybody Knows a great hit show. And I love this
show because there's so many good things that happen, not
just from the coaches and all the legends that sit
in those chairs and you smash the button and you
get all those big turns out there too, but it's
a pretty cool thing. Like you knew when you auditioned
there was something special about it, and also working with
(01:35):
coach John Legend. Give me some of those memories, and
just from the audition all the way through that competition.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, I mean, it was such a great experience and
I really loved all of it. It just happened so
fast for me. I had about a week to prepare,
and which is probably good in retrospect because the audition
process can be really laborious. But I was just kind
of in and out had to pick a song and
just go with it. So I the whole time, I
(02:03):
was just like kind of on pins and needles for
about a week, hoping that someone would turn their chair
for me. And it happened to be the best coach
of all the coaches. Not that I'm you know, biased,
but he was. He was really great. John Legend is
a legend to the fullest degree of that work.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He sure has no doubt too, Like I said, one
heck of a musician in his own right to a
great singer songwriter. You mentioned collabs. We're talking a little
bit before we kind of went live here on the
show here looking at it, but these collapse coming over
now seeing a bunch of them crossing over from R
and B and pop and you know, country and all
worlds kind of coming together. And it's kind of a
beautiful thing because you get a little bit of that
reinforcement varieties of spice of like give me your take
(02:47):
on some of these collabs now too, and you look
at like post Malone and Acon crossing over in the
country music, give me some thoughts on that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, I just think that we're not one color anymore,
which is awesome, Like I feel like genre bending is
the cool new thing because there's not, you know, one
direction for everyone. Like I love that Akon just hopped
on a country record that's dope and ghost Face Killing.
I just did a collaboration that came out on Friday,
and that was really cool because we're really from two
(03:17):
totally different worlds. So I think the blending of the
worlds is what art is about, and I love to
see it. I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Go back to your first EP. I loved a lot
of the songs off of their American Love and of
course Lost Boy and Scared Like Me. It was one
of my favorite songs that was out there September twenty
twenty one. And kind of the growth that you develop
and you find your sound as an artist and kind
of you know who you want to be and identify
yourself after coming off that show, because music goes a
(03:45):
long way from what you sing, from auditions to getting
on your own to finding a great team put behind
you until now and putting out these two songs came
out there last Friday. Talk about just that growth from
your first EP until now?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, I love that question because I think everything, like
you said, it's been so incremental. It's like you put
out the EP, then you do the voice, then you
put out another song, then you know, and each one
is just like one rung on the ladder, and it
feels very like climbing a mountain, and sometimes you hit
a plateau and then you need to get a new
teammate and then you need, you know, the next set
(04:20):
of press and then the next song and the next collaboration.
It just feels always like you're climbing, and that's the
beautiful part about it. And I think I've really surrendered
to that climb in a lot of ways and just
been like, all right, show me what's next. I'm in
an ocean of possibilities and the current's taken me this way,
so I'm just going to keep swimming. And it's been
(04:41):
very much just like an incremental process, like you were saying,
So from day one of releasing American Love, like I'm
a totally different person than the girl that made that record,
which is so cool, and you can hear it in
my sound and in my music, and so it's nice
to be able to go on that journey with me,
you know, on my journey with me.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Too, no doubt We're gonna keep that journey going with
you too. Like you said, I, it's just kind of
full of ocean currents out there. You just got to
ride the wave and just go go with it. Perfect
analogy right there too. We're gonna play one here a
little bit from a lot of love here on the
backstage past. I want to go back to one before
we do it, A loaded gun from that first ep.
I love that there was a good vibe and kind
(05:21):
of a cool feel with this one. It was kind
of dope too at the same time. I loved it.
Tell us all about this one nice.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm glad that you brought that song up.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That one.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Like, when I was recording it, I vividly remember the
first take. It was just one take and so and
I just got nailed it in the first one, and
I was like, oh, this is exactly what I.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Wanted it to say.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I wanted it to feel like an old Western and
bring back my hotlant of roots. So I feel like
that's what the song was about.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's a beautiful song. I love that one too. And
then I got to go back to a little bit
of this was a parachute. Yes, I gotta go back
to this one because I love this song. A lot
of cool metings with this one too, and people can
really resonate. I feel that with your music too, lyrically, instrumentally,
all different things that you do in these songs tell
us all about parachute.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I really love parachute because it was the first song
that I ever tuned to four thirty two herts, and
I actually put out two versions of the song, one
in four forty, which is standard pop hurts, and then
one in four thirty two, which is a healing frequency,
so I wanted listeners to be able to have both
perspectives of hearing both and seeing how their body resonated.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I love that too. Great explanation too, of the music
the area, and I think that's that you mentioned the
crossovers too. That variety is kind of the spice of
wife with music now too, because you're right, it's just,
you know, it's like different flavors of potato chips are
not just like the classic laze anymore. You got everything
from spicy chips out there to just playing Jaine stuff
out there to medium, and that kind of thing almost
feels like U styles of hot wings there or something
(06:50):
like that. But I love this because you love it.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
That's exactly right. We're not just one donut. Sometimes I
want to play donuts. Sometimes I want the sprinkles.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm here before I bring it up because I had
that conversation with a lot of people in Nashville, you know,
people in the industry and coming off seeing Makefest and
not just seeing you know, Akon and Gary Levox there
too for their song, but also looking at I mean
Kid Rock showing up and he posts alone how he's
impacting all the different aspects of country music right now
and just buying into it too. And like I said,
I love the different flavors out there because now we
(07:23):
mentioned social media how much it's changed, you know, aspects
of it. You type in somebody's name, you pull up
their music, you learn all about them. And it's different
now with streaming than it was maybe twenty thirty years ago.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Right, it's totally different. I think, you know, you used
to be able to just get by on good music.
Now it's like who are you? What are you saying?
You know, what's your message?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Who are you as a person?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And it's really actually pretty cool that we can let
people into our lives and let them really connect with
us and get to know who we are, not just
from our music.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I love it and this song is going to tell
you guys how much we love it. Here on the
backstage past ghost Face kill Us, you mentioned that one too,
Lost Boys Here. It is across all the DSPs out there.

I'll still swing some guitars and some lyrics out there.
So check out my song Hi right here on the
Sports Guys Podcast and always stay tuned and back here
on the show again. A lot of love joining us
here at the backstage of ask us again and check
out all our sponsors, all the good stuff out there
the Sports Guyspodcast dot com and Lost Boys. And I
(12:07):
love this one too because you really put your just
really good feeling this one too. And I mentioned lyrically
and a lot of cool things that ghost Face Killer
and we mentioned all the different collabs now taking a
cool song like this, and I mean Boys with a
Ze which is always a cool thing. And this one
you mentioned recording in the studio. This had to be
fun to kind of see this project really come alive, right.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, it was so neat Like from day one. I
met ghost Face while I was serving tables at the
Chelsea Hotel and one of my friends who lived at
the hotel hops on top of the piano because she
knew that Wu Tang clan was there that night and
says Lana has to sing, and so they were all like, well,
(12:46):
if this girl is jumping on top of a piano,
you gotta do something. So I ended up playing some
Gaga and doing some original tunes and they were like,
what else you got?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
What else you got?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
And so I played a set and they invited me
back to the studio and then I played them Lost
Boys and Ghosts was like, I'll hop on that and
I was like for real and he was like, yeah,
do you want me to produce it out? And I
was like, I'm not going to say no. So from
there I ended up making an entire EP which is
(13:18):
coming out August twenty second called Sorry I'm Human with
ghost Face Killers head engineer and producer and it's been
a really cool process, but it all stemmed from.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That one that one joint that's crazy and stories coming
to life too. You got a story to.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Tell, you said, I've got a lot of stories to tell.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well, tell me some of these stories about the challenging
parts of this industry because it's ever changing, no doubt.
I mean, obviously I think it's harder because I interview
a lot more female artists on this program than I
do male artists. It just happens to work out that way.
And of course I always love girl power when it
comes to it. But the challenges you have to face
in this industry with so much talent right now, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, I think you just you really have to be
cool with the unknown, and that I think it's the
hardest part, because there's so much uncertainty in this business
and cool with rejection, like you gotta be. You gotta
just get really tough, thick skin. And I think that's
in life in general, but especially in this business. Like
(14:17):
and of course being a woman, you know you're gonna
get hit on. You gotta be like, all right, who
do I want to be? How do I want to
go about this? Am I gonna run my ship? Or
am I gonna let a man run my ship? And
for me, it was always don't f with lost boys?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
She liked that.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do I like a just a same acopoy right there too?
Like that one in? Like you sut that in? That's
good stuff right there too, Uh, you know, mentioning the
country industry you got now, And of course what Lanny
Wilson's been doing out there too, and all this crossover,
you know, with collaboration with Hardy and so many people
out there too.
Speaker 11 (14:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Good to see girl power movement now for the first
time in like fifteen twenty twenty five years, and so
many ladies, not just and I guess all across all genres,
but really you see Country, it's like every lady has
their day. And you've seen how it's you mentioned about
a male dominant industry, but this is cool to see
a lot of the ladies come into life and all
genres of music, and it really should motivate I'm sure
an artist like yourself to get out there and just
(15:15):
keep kicking ass.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Right Heck, yeah, I'm here for it. And I love
Lady Wilson.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
She rocks.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That girl's got it going on, no doubt, Bill Bottom.
Country is here this day. Hey. Back to the competition.
As you go through each round and you start thinking
about song choice and wardrobe choices, things like that, and
you know what your coach is the feedback they give
you and you're mentally processing all that stuff and tell
me about just how fast of a blur that competition was.
But kind of the valuable lessons that you gained from
(15:44):
John as you go through these rounds and you take
that knowledge and you incorporate it into yourself as you
get off a platform like.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That, Yeah, you know so many decisions, like you said,
from wardrobe to what you're going to saying, like you
just have to make a choice and go with it.
And I feel like it's that way in life and
in my artistry now. So I definitely carried that momentum
with me, like, just make a choice. It's all creativity,
it doesn't actually matter. You can just go in a
(16:11):
direction and see if it works, and if it doesn't,
you pivot. And so I feel like that piece of
it was really instrumental in my development as a human
being and as a businesswoman. And as far as John goes,
like John is just so grounded and present, and he
really showed me that there's another way to be and
you don't have to get swept up in the hooplah
(16:33):
and the press and the this, and that you can
really just like show up, be present with the people
that you're around, and fully like embrace them in a
moment to moment way. And so I really loved that.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's a beautiful way to put it too, And like
I said that sincerity he had to very much and
really and they all care about their artist. John just
kind of seemed to be as he comes by so genuine,
he's so kind of upfront with things. He's telling his
honest opinion, but he's also given that really good constructive criticism.
A block of people say, and I'm sure you probably
agree with this. The real work begins when you get
off a platform like that, because then it becomes like,
I'm on my own. I learned all the great stuff,
(17:07):
the great knowledge of knowledge is power at the same time.
But now you're taking this and really studying and kind
of like facing your own music career. Correct.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Heck yeah, it's like what are you going to do
with it? What are you gonna do with the knowledge
you have and with the time that you're the Twinkie
of the moment. You got fifteen minutes, baby, you better
ride that train.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
That's a new saying right there, the Twinkie of the moment.
We're gonna use that for future shows. Here one fast,
we're gonna play the second song coming off of this
one just got released last Friday from a Lot of
Love Again. This part of the program, B and B

to the best podcast in the business Sports guyspodcast dot
com Music Sports. You don't want to miss it. You'll
be entertaining the entire time.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
And we're just gonna start like a dance party here
on this with Lona Love here on the backstage pass.
Antidote has a really cool vibe to it. That's all
about this one too. Back here on the backstage pass
with Lona Love again, ghost Face Killo. The full album
August twenty second. Can't wait for that to hear more
and more. So you put out a couple songs and
it's got the audience already wanting a lot more out
there too. Tell us all about Antidote.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah, Antidote's super cool because we made it in like
twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So I just wrote it.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I called my producer and I was like, Hey, we
gotta do this right now. It's got to come out.
And there was like a pink moon that night and
it was just the energy was right, and we just
literally got in studio twenty four hours later. We had
us home so it was a really cool experience. And
the song is about basically like saving yourself. You're the
antidote in your own life and there's a little bit
(23:05):
of poison in you, but you're still the remedy. So
that's what the song's about.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I love the songs so much, and like it comes
to songwriting and things like that. You mentioned writing it
and seeing a song come to life. Give me your
process of songwriting. Is it like just you're got to
go through it to kind of live it. Is it
just like a you get a hook, you put it
in your phone. What's your favorite part of the process.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
It's different every time, and I'm sure you get this
from a lot of artists that you talk with, but
it's kind of like pulling down like a poem from
the sky, and sometimes it comes backwards and you channel
it in and some holes are in it and you're
trying to, you know, piece it together like a jig saw,
like it feels very much like that. And then other
times it's just super streamlined, and you know, you get
(23:47):
the lightning bowlt and Antidote was that for me? It
was just like a lightning bolt. I wrote it, it
was done. I was like this is it, We got
to do this right now, and then other times it
takes like two years, you know. So sometimes it is
sitting on my phone in the four thousand voice notes
that I have four thousand plus four.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Thousand plus just a little bit there too from all
the different hooks out there too, as you travel from
city to city, and in the performing arts business, being
an artist and stepping on stage give me kind of
the favorite part of just being on stage, performing in
front of a live audience.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
You know, My favorite part is always finding a kid,
Like I love to find a kid in the audience,
like a teenager who's maybe a little moody, and I'll
just like look at them until they smile. Love So no,
but I love connecting with people. It's like it's the best.
It's literally the best. And I always try whenever I
(24:43):
go on stage beforehand, I try to have a genuine
conversation with someone I've never met before and then I
walk on stage because I feel like that's what we're
all doing when we're performing. It's like having these genuine
connections with people that we've never met before and providing
a safe space to connect.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
So I got a special request here from a Lot
of Love here, we'll see if we can make this happen.
I've got to do a show here in a couple
of weeks. We're gonna be one of my partners over
at the Golden Nugget Lake, Charles, Louisiana. We go out
there for a lot of shows, put a lot of things.
If I could wear like a Lot of Love T
shirt to the show, all right, I've got to wear
just something. Illar these country shirts, which is great, but
(25:22):
I don't have a lot of just really great pop artists. Yeah,
like antidotes something like that. I got this one for you.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I have like a I have a tea and some
Team Love gear that I'll send you away.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
My share wag bags right here, swag bag, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I got some merch.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Get with. I'll the coordinate some cool stuff out there
with some swag bag stuff and hey may give away
to some listeners out there. You just never know what
we're gonna do here. But I gotta wear some man
so the gotta wrap it out there too, because every
time we go wear somebody else's gear, they're like, who's
that person? Who's that person? If they've never heard of
them and you're like, hey, check them out, you know,
across all the streaming stuff. So it's it's a cool,
(26:01):
cool thing, all right, let's have all the fun with this,
you know. I just went went up there for CMA Fest,
and may I tell you what, there was like a
new restaurant on every corner in Nashville. It was crazy
how busy that place was. And of course I know
c Mayfest gonna be busy regardless. But I did have
my I'm a big fan of like Chicago deep Dish pizza,
and I went to this place over in Germantown called
Free one two, which is owners Actually we're from there.
(26:22):
I think they opened up there a few years ago.
But it's like a and I'm not a real big
fan of deep Dish, but this was really legit. Man,
are you deep dish pizza, thin crust? What topings? Go
on the line of love pizzas out there?
Speaker 11 (26:34):
So I'm a.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Vegan, yeah no, but we can get busy. Vegans can
get busy with some vegan cheese, really all right, like
some cashew cheese, a caulifier crust, nothing too much. I mean, look,
if I go to Chicago, I'm having Deep dish and
I'm cheating, Like I cheat at least once a year,
(26:57):
and if a pizza is put in front of me,
I'm probably gonna be it, you know. So we'll say
I'm like an eighty five percent vegan, but yeah, I
would be a cashew cheese girl. It might not be
your jam. But we're all allowed to have different interests.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
It's like music, different interests, different food. Man, That's what
makes the world go around, no doubt, it's being different.
I want to be the same, the world to be
boring if we were the same out there. Well, you
said when you're on the road out there too, and
you like to eat out and mention the Italian food
because that's just my thing. Are you into what other
kind of cuisine? What other kind of stops? So what
do you yelp something? Do you ask the locals when
you're out there?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
What do you do? Yeah, you know, it's in the Midwest,
it's very hard to find vegan food, so you have
to get very creative. So I'll you know, I'm normally
like a door dash kind of gal and I'll just
have it sent to the tour bus or wherever we're at.
But it's it's sometimes it's just you know, a Greek salad,
no cheese, no dressing, because that's all they got.
Speaker 11 (27:56):
No.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
But but again, I'll you know, sometimes I got a cheat,
all right, So you know what I'm like you religiously,
I'm in the gym.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Don't want to go to this workout today? No I don't,
But I know if I don't, I'll actually won't get
to take off the rest of the week. So it's
like you got to stay in the gym to eat
what you want to eat and kind of just be,
like I said, just out there too, to want that hamburger,
want that pizza, to want this Now I'm eating better
with the salads and things like that. But let me
ask you about that self care, taking care of your voice,
taking care of your just yourself is an overall human being,
(28:24):
your body, things like that, the steps you guys have
to go through because you're in the industry of performing
in front of live crowds, traveling so much. Talk about
that self care and how important that is.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
That's such a great question, especially today as I'm a
little bit under the weather because I've pushed it a
little too far. But you know, it really is a
different game for singers because we can't really have that
pizza all the time because then it affects our voice.
And sleep is really important when you are your product
(28:57):
life is you have to make a lot more sacks
with your life, but you're happy to do it because
number one, you feel better, but too, you can't really
function the way that you need to at a high
level if you know you're eating pizza. Pizza in my case,
so the the reason why I went vegan, that was
(29:17):
part of it, and it's it gave me a lot
more energy personally, and so that's something that I've carried
on for years and years. But I think sleep's really important.
Although I say that I don't get a lot of sleep,
but but you know, you catch up where you can
and and I think meditation has been really key for me,
just things that like ground me as much as possible
(29:38):
so that I can get out there and do my best.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
All right. So if you were not a musician or
never took that leap of faith and the voice and
auditioned and had those share turns and went far in
the competition, what other career paths would you be doing
if it was it for being a musician.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I have tried many and none of them have worked out.
I was an ice cream scooper, I was a caterer.
I worked, and I've had a lot of random jobs.
But I think like if I'm not if I'm not
singing on stage, then I'm a writer in some way,
shape or form. Like I think that words just need
(30:17):
to flow through me. So I don't know what kind
of writing job I would have, but I think I
would want to either be a reporter, you know, maybe
i'd do what you were doing.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, it has its perks, right, it does. It skids
a pretty good professional.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I'm doing it about thirty years. Next year it'll be
thirty about thirtieth year in broadcasting. Like it's just wow,
that long celebrate. I look back and I'm like where
time go and between there, I'm like, you get married
and you have a kid, You're just like you just
keep thriving and going with your own business. So it
has its perks out there too. I enjoy it, and
like I said, I wouldn't have it any other way
because for me, there really was no plan B. It
was like do this or go broke?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Right, I guess, yeah, I hear that you're a true artist.
