Speaker 3 (01:08):
My friend, how you doing, Hey, Brandon, love you to
be here doing great?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
HOI you?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's good man. You know, we're just about a week
or two out to see Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. The fourth
quarter kind of finishes just in kind of an onslaught here.
But my favorite holidays are coming up. As for a
lot of people with the word downtime, that's what I'm
looking forward to.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, that sounds great, eh, which is good, especially Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We like to eat around the table, so putting good
food in front of us is always a good thing
out there. Hey, tell us about this. I love the
story you mentioned as a doctor, a certified doctor out
there too in South Africa, And this is cool because
we don't get a lot of these type of things
that come into us here on the show, because you know,
you always like, okay, straight musician, he's been doing it
(01:52):
for thirty or forty years, or they have this little
side gig, but they're a musician full time. Tell us
about the story and about your connection to me music
and just becoming an artist man. When you fell in
love with it talk about that.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, Bran, I think if you like music, you are
sort of born with it. All suddenly happens in your
life when you really have a connection to that. I
think most musicians really relate to themselves as musicians for
their whole life, and I'm no different. I remember I
just wanted to pick up a guitar, and the moment
I could play two chords, I started writing songs. I
(02:24):
never wanted to play other people's songs. I always wanted
to create, and that basically came with me from a
young age I was.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I remember I was eight.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Nine years old and my parents really they couldn't stop
me just singing in the shower, and they really had
to make me aware of the fact that we do
have neighbors and I do have to be mindful of
the neighborhood because the only thing I wanted to do
is just to improve my vocal capability. And so that
really came from a young age. But obviously, life basically happens,
(02:56):
and I was very blessed with a very good academic record,
and then as the society would have it, I mean,
there's a next step after school, and we all know
that the music market is saturated and it's a long shot.
So I did decide to do the safe ruits and
do something also, just get a degree behind my name,
something that I also do love and I was very fortunate.
(03:20):
In our country, in South Africa, it's quite very difficult
to get into maid school.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think it's the same everywhere.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And I got into maid school basically because I wanted
to do something exciting.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I don't want to sit behind a desk and just
work on numbers all that.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I wanted to maybe be a pediatrician with the color
for color full office, or maybe a psychiatrist working with
people with mental let me say yeah, with mental problems,
because I really felt also had either a passion for psychology.
But in the end, I just realized that on that
(03:56):
cancer and oncology is the place where I wanted to
spend a lot of daytime hours because yeah, as a doctor,
it's a place there where I can feel I can
really make a psychological difference. But music has never left
my side. I was about my third year of medicine
when I decided that I can't let music go and
(04:16):
I decided to screw this, I'm going to do music
as well. And I just started creating songs, producing and
putting them out there, and one thing led to another,
and I realized that medicine can take up my daytime
hours if I choose my lifestyle correctly, and music can
take up my nighttime hours and my weekends. And that
(04:36):
actually fit very well, like a left hand and a
right hand, and it's very possible to do both. And
I must say today I'm at a point where I
I am very grateful that I could spend my.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Time and my knowledge and things really.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Helping people in the medical sphere and with a field
like oncology that is very psychological, but then also using
the lessons that I've learned during the tough times of
medicine and working with a lot of people and relate
that into music that I'm proud of, where you can
also make a difference into people and their psychology and
(05:13):
their way of thinking when it comes to creativity and music.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
When you look back at it too, and they blend
so well, no doubt, because, like I said, becoming a doctor,
they don't let just anybody into medical school. And trust me,
up the family of the Morale family have got a
lot of doctors in their skin. Doctors dermatologists, pediatricians, things
like that. Got a lawyer in the family so we
know all about the hard work out there. Got an accountant,
so I'm pretty much taken a chiropractor. So it's all
(05:38):
around my family too, so I heard about it too.
My dad was a pharmacist for over forty years, so
it trusts me. It's running our family too. And they're like, well,
what are you going to do. I'm like, well, I'm
not going to go to medical school become a radio host.
They look back at you like, uh, I'm like, okay,
well you got a talent, you might want to share
it with somebody else out there. But I commend you
for going that route too, because it has to be
a passion and not something that you just kind of
go in. And you have anything, you got to go
(05:59):
in all the way, no doubt. But I love these tunes,
and I'm curious to know who kind of really set
the tone for you, whether it be a band or
an artist or several artists for that matter, and what
genres of music that you grew up listening to. I
want to know about that.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I would say my favorite band just because they really
put out so many great Songs is the One Republic,
and they're really a role model to me just to
persistently put out new music.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And they do have.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
A sound, but they constantly try and new things, and
they sort of set the tone. I must say that
that in the same birth, Taylor Swift did the very
similar thing where she was just authentic to herself and
to her music, and it's just very nice to see
how music can be impactful and how you can really
you don't need to follow anyone's example. You can just
(06:51):
be an authentic artist and just put yourself out there.
So I've had a lot of musical influences, but I
would say my rock side, it was three Seconds to More,
is basically because Jared Leder has a fantastic voice and
he really inspires me to improve my vocal capability. But
(07:15):
from a songwriting perspective, it's just amazing how the guys
at One Republic just put up put out so many
songs and write for so many people, and it's just
nice to see that creativity doesn't need to have an end.
You can just keep creating and it's yeah. So I
would say that the ones that really write their own songs,
(07:36):
the singer songwriters turned global or my inspirations.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I love that too. One of the top greatest artists
and bands of all time out there too. And you're right,
they do right from the heart out there too. I'll
tell you what This one comes from the heart. And
if you want to be inspired, you got to crack
it up to It's new music release Friday. Easy for
me to say, right there, Yeah, new music released Friday.

Speaker 17 (14:08):
Welcome to another edition of Backstage Past powered by the
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morell.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah. I told you guys would like that song accounts.
It pumps you up. The good, the bad, and the beautiful.
It's like a life in general right there. It's the
three things that we talk about every day when it
comes to the different things in life that we all experience.
Out there too. Nelvin Beck here with us on the
Backstage Past, KYBN ninety eight point one, your Bay Area
Broadcasting Network and our friends out there anytime, the Sports
Guys Podcast dot com and of course THWN dot org
(14:44):
and iHeartRadio podcast. So when this one dropped for me, man,
it really just kind of rejuvenated my day looking back
at it. I mentioned those three ingredients that people have
because we all go through that in this thing called life,
the good, the bad, the beautiful, all this. How did
you guys come about the idea for this great tune?
And again just master craft? Well done, man, This song
is awesome.
Speaker 13 (15:04):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah, thank you so much. I really it's kind of
words from you.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So I've been genuinely considered a positive guy, you know,
and you get people that are optimists that they tend
to try and really ignore the bad side of life
and only focus on the good. I tend to be
a very positive realist, where it's just because there are
bad things and life, bad things that happen in life,
(15:30):
it doesn't make life bad. You know, sometimes bad things
happen to good people. And I've realized something that and
I see it a lot in my patience, where the
way that they grow when they go through struggles, and
I've realized that we all actually are on a journey
of emotional maturity and that we only develop once we
(15:51):
go through struggles. No one grows inside their comfort zones.
And that actually made me realize that there's a big
positive point of going through some bad times.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And my favorite line.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
In the song is mountains where their valleys like they're
proud of their scars. You know, you won't go finding
diamonds only searching the stars, And basically it just means
that you can't just focus on the good things. Sometimes
you need to dig in the dirt in order to
find the diamonds. And even though that it's a very
it sounds very it's an imagery thing, it's just very
(16:27):
relevant to life as well, where you really need to
experience some bad things in order to appreciate the good things.
And bad things aren't necessarily something that makes life, that
says that life is against you.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It's an opportunity to grow as a person.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And I want to one day be someone that has
really come out the other side of life, proud of
the person that I've become. And I know that I'll
only be that person if I've had the chance to
develop the characteristics through out of comfort times.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I'm someone that really likes.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Jimming and working out, and I know that that bad
times are like emotional jimmings, and and I just want
to as all too realize that there's a positive side
to when bad things happen to you. And I hope
that it really puts a positive spend on everyone else's
day in life.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You know, it really does. And that's the thing about music,
you know, speaking to people, resonating with people, and a
lot of it's in the song. And I do spend
a lot of time, you know, in Nashville doing a
lot of shows and had a time chance to really
talk to and the time to speak to the great
songwriters out there too, and they always tell me, you know,
they said, one good song can just change a person's career.
But it all starts and ends with the you know
songwriters out there, and always, you know, pay a tribute
(17:43):
to them here on the air because you know they're
the ones kind of making the magic. They get in
the writer's room and they get a chance to you know,
spread the ideas, whether it's a solo writer code right.
And you're seeing collaboration become more of the norm now
in the industry too, with the crossovers, and I think
that's a pretty cool thing that you know, no matter
what an artist has done, but they've accomplished, they're still
looking for more. The thirsty, they're hungry, and that's the
beautiful thing about, you know, fighting the right song and
(18:05):
matching it to to your audience.
Speaker 15 (18:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
So I think as an artist, that's that when you
when you create and you write a song, you really
pour your heart into that. But there comes a point
where you're finished with that song and you need to
release it, and there's a thing you can't be a perfectionist.
You need to just be authentic and decide that I'm
finished with this one and just release it to the
(18:29):
world and then be proud of what you've done. But
if you're an artist, you want to continue writing and
continue creating. So just because you've made music that you're
proud of, in no way it's satisfy. In no way
does satisfy your desire to keep on creating and keep
on inspiring. And I think that it's really a beautiful
(18:51):
journey of really pouring your heart into something and doing
something to the base of your ability, one thing at
a time, and just to keep doing that, to keep
getting better at it. And I just think it's such
a beautiful growth journey for any creative person.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's the beautiful part about it is, like you said,
seeing something just kind of being born, almost like a
newborn baby out there too, and just seeing who's going
to record it put their stamp on it, and then
again just resonate with those audiences out there because I love, love,
love live shows and love live concerts, and I can't
wait till you get down to Texas or if I
come see either in Nashville the writers around or if
you're doing something up there too. That's the exciting part
is just seeing it live and man taking it from
(19:31):
the record and just putting it into that feel and
that vibe for an audience out there too, because they
can bring those lyrics back to you, which is that's
the part. I know you guys love is like performance
and like being on stage. Talk about that, because that's
almost like an addiction, right Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I think that's the validation of it. When you create
something and you see that it has made something to people.
I might say that it's very nice to hear that
your songs mean something to one person, or it's very
noble to say I'm writing and if I can just
touch one person's life. But there's a lot of validation
(20:06):
in when all crowds in to music back to you.
And I think that's really the bit to me of
what we're doing is to write things not necessarily for
the attention, but once once you get that response from
the public, it's probably one of the best feelings. And
(20:27):
I think mostly the beautiful thing is most musicians really
come from a place of struggling and working hard and
not really getting that recognition that attention. So most musicians
that I know are humble at heart, and when you
get that recognition and on such a great scale, it's
one of the best feelings in the world.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Really is too. And like I said, songs like this
too that keep it going and mentioned this This one
came out just a few weeks ago right there too,
in August. It feels like forever people look ats October

(27:58):
I'll mentioned this one because it was such a feel
good song. We all need to kind of feel that
a daily basis. We talked about, you know, the good,
the bad, and the beautiful and just what life means
and the positive outlook on it. But when you can
put one like Melody and just I see your double
peace sign. It comes up there in the photo, which
is really cool.
Speaker 13 (28:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Talk about the artwork for this one, because it really
kind of set the tone for the song. It really did.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, no, that artwork, you don't need to be fancy.
That art group was taking my own house and I
moved into a house and it had colorful walls and
I've actually painted everything mutual colors except the one room
that I just haven't gotten too. And then I wanted
to release the song Melody. I just asked one of
(28:39):
my photographer friends to come in and I thought the
song needed something vibrant, and we set.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Up two lights. I just stood in.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Front of the wall, wrote the name Melody on a
on a on a tape that that I just tyckleed
my mouth and decided, yeah, let's just take a photo.
And I think it came out super cool. I grabbed
everyone's close to me and I had to sports and
wrist bands. I put those on and I thought it
looked super rocker. And yeah, it's just the product of spontaneity, really,
(29:10):
but I thought it came out pretty.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Cool, really a banger of a song. Love that too.
And then let's go back to twenty twenty three. You
know when I got to check out here too and
really listen to And yes, guys, I do listen to
every song that gets submitted to me here on the show,
So you cannot say that I don't because I do
listen to all the music and that's what makes the
show what it is today. Love this back to twenty
twenty three, and of course I can't believe it's almost
(29:33):
a couple of years old. It's still crazy to say
it's November next month. But Break a Broken Heart, let's
get a little backstory on that one.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Break a Broken Heart was actually a cover of a
Eurovision song by the country Cyprus. I'm trying to remember
the guy's name now, but I listened to the song.
It was super dramatic and I thought, yeah, I want
to cover this song, mainly because it really had a
(30:02):
crazy vocal range to it, and I did it as
a challenge to myself, and yeah, I'm very proud of
the way that it came out.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
It is a cover, it's not an original, but I wanted.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
To The very first song that I created under the
brand name Nelvin was a dark pop type of song,
a dark pop rock, and I just wanted to put
a dark pop edge to this breakup, broken heart and
just throw my vocals. And basically I thought that I'm
very proud of the way that came out.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You should be too, love that too. That's the thing
about it again. The music's just so enthusiastic and so
many great positive messages through it too. And like I said,
talk to a few fans of the show too, you're
gonna have them on. Yeah, we'renna have you on there too.
We're gona talk about a lot of music there too.
So always cool, talk about just uplifting songs and making
somebody you know, feel something great in music too. The
last single that came out, or should say the one
(30:55):
actually last year in October. I love it because again
taking something, having fun of it too, and kind of
putting your own spin on it. Talk about when I
rock for.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Me, Yeah, when I rock, I basically just wrote on
as a student, I spoke a bit a while back.
I was in the last third year of medicine, decided
to screw this, I'm going to do music, and I
just started writing songs.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
And my name, even though my band name is called Melvin,
my name.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Is called Pierre, and which is it's like the French
name Pierre, and it basically means rock or stone, which
it's nice to take some deeper significance, you know, as
strong as a rock or as strong as a stone.
But it just means rock. And whenever I write music,
I just choose lyrics that don't really make sense just
(31:42):
to get a melody down.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Why, but I just started writing I am rock, I
am rock, just to get something down. And then I decided, no,
I'm not gonna say I am rock.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I'm gonna I'm actually going to use the word rock
in this song.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And then I decide when I rock, When I rock,
well what happens then I must say I was a
geeky kid, so I always wanted the girls to like me,
and I just thought the best way to go from
there is when I rock.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
When I rock, man, this dupe becomes a player. Every
move makes the crowd want to be my little lady.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
And it was just a tongue in the cheek song,
and I decided, Yeah, I'm gonna release this thing. You know,
it's not gonna sit on my phone or on my
computer and no one's gonna hear it. Let's do Let's
have fun with it and release it. And that's basically
where it comes down. It's definitely tongue in the cheek.
But I do enjoy it, and I enjoyed writing it definitely.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, putting your own personal of such on lyrics and
just having fun with him, and that's what makes a
great song out of it.
Speaker 15 (32:47):
Too.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
You don't have to be serious all the time and
just kind off. You're gonna put it out. Always tell
artists don't second guess it when I when I do
it too, I'm like, you know what, we do so
many of these shows. I'm like, you know what, just
put it out. If you make a mistake, you make
a mistake, and let's so no self correct yourf on
the air with the songs, have fun with it, and
just let lyrics. Like I said, let lyrics speak to
an audience. You never know where it's going to take somebody, Hey,
when not doing music there and you kind of get
(33:10):
to Nashville. So no, it's not every day I get
there being from Texas, and of course you're from South
Africa too. What are some of the sight seeing things
you like to do? Because Nashville is just more than
music city. It's become so much more out there and
it's so very much diversified. Now.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, no, Look, I arrived in Nashville an hour ago
and I'm gonna say but I've taken probably fifty photos
and then in the last two hours, I love you
next to a Thunderbelt and University at the moment, and
(33:45):
I just gone away to just go out into the sheet,
have a coffee and walk around. There's a lot of
sites to see. I want to go to the Bluebird Cafe.
I'm going to the Opry, the Old Opry with Scott
and at Atkins Entertainment and Rachel and then they're really
fantastic with doing the pr that they're doing. I've got
some backstage passes to some all the open shows that
(34:09):
it's a very relevant now talking on the backstage pass
and they really just just arrange this beautiful chip for me.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Just meeting with lovely people and networking.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Because coming from South Africa, it's you know, on zoom
and things that you do get you do meet people,
but it's just very nice to meet people in person
as well. And so I've actually got a full schedule
of meeting with some industry aids and industry people, and
but I can't wait to just walk around the streets
and to see a couple of the sites because there's
(34:42):
a lot of history and from my first steps, I
just couldn't stop taking photos.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
And I feel sorry for my my iPhone storage.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Because I think just three days I'll definitely need to
buy some buy up some more terror.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Bytes yet back up to and download them and saying
it to another device to clear up stores there too,
because I do it every time I go there too.
There's always something fun to see in the town there too,
in the music city, no doubt. Looking back, I got
to talk about this because it's different from over over
here when we talk about football and in football in
South Africa too at the same time. But I love
watching the athletes kind of do their thing over there too,
(35:20):
and I know for teams and different rosters and players
you guys root for. There's a certain history of football
in South Africa and of course Johannesburg and all the
different teams that they have over there. Tell me about
some teams you pay attention to and is that kind
of your thing compared to American football, you know, football
in South Africa.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, so we don't really have We don't have American football.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
We call it American football because it's in America. We
have something very similar obviously called rugby. Rugby, yes, and
we are fanatic about rugby. I think similar to to
the way the Britons are with the football. With soccer,
we are fanatic about right. And we have our team,
the spring Books spring Booker and we are very proud
(36:06):
of them.
Speaker 21 (36:07):
They they are the current world title holders, World Cup
title holders, and very recently there was another championship with
Australia and.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
New Zealand and Argentina and we took that cup as well,
and we're just very very proud. And I'll say rugby
is very close to any South African's heart and it
even played a big role in our in our democracy.
In our we have a big history with apartheid and
racism and everything, and and back in nineteen ninety forward
(36:42):
was the Rugby World Cup, and so winning the Rugby
World Cup which really smoothed over a.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Lot of civil war tensions.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
So rugby is very close to our hearts, and I'm
very proud of South Africa, and but that's not the
only sporting thing we're currently Also a South African is
the world's strongest man at the moment, and I'm definitely
even though I do go to the gym, I do
not relate.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I'm very far from being the world's strongest man, but
I do hope maybe one day be the world's best.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Male rock vocalist.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
So yeah, I'm definitely also depending on making so that
we could proud the same way that I'm sporting teams do.
Speaker 17 (37:26):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
But I remember that movie like it was yesterday too
with Matt Damon and Victus, which is one of my
favorite movies of all time. You mentioned that spring Box,
which is pretty cool obviously. Morgan Freeman playing the character
in Nelson Mandela just a tremendous film out there too,
and one of my favorite films of all time. And
now he's become one of my favorite artists from South
Africa out there too, available via downloaded across all the
(37:47):
DSPs now, but we appreciate the time here on the
backstage paths, my friend, have fun in Nashville and enjoy

Yeah, that sounds great, eh, which is good, especially Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We like to eat around the table, so putting good
food in front of us is always a good thing
out there. Hey, tell us about this. I love the
story you mentioned as a doctor, a certified doctor out
there too in South Africa, And this is cool because
we don't get a lot of these type of things
that come into us here on the show, because you know,
you always like, okay, straight musician, he's been doing it
(01:52):
for thirty or forty years, or they have this little
side gig, but they're a musician full time. Tell us
about the story and about your connection to me music
and just becoming an artist man. When you fell in
love with it talk about that.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, Bran, I think if you like music, you are
sort of born with it. All suddenly happens in your
life when you really have a connection to that. I
think most musicians really relate to themselves as musicians for
their whole life, and I'm no different. I remember I
just wanted to pick up a guitar, and the moment
I could play two chords, I started writing songs. I
(02:24):
never wanted to play other people's songs. I always wanted
to create, and that basically came with me from a
young age I was.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I remember I was eight.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Nine years old and my parents really they couldn't stop
me just singing in the shower, and they really had
to make me aware of the fact that we do
have neighbors and I do have to be mindful of
the neighborhood because the only thing I wanted to do
is just to improve my vocal capability. And so that
really came from a young age. But obviously, life basically happens,
(02:56):
and I was very blessed with a very good academic record,
and then as the society would have it, I mean,
there's a next step after school, and we all know
that the music market is saturated and it's a long shot.
So I did decide to do the safe ruits and
do something also, just get a degree behind my name,
something that I also do love and I was very fortunate.
(03:20):
In our country, in South Africa, it's quite very difficult
to get into maid school.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think it's the same everywhere.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And I got into maid school basically because I wanted
to do something exciting.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I don't want to sit behind a desk and just
work on numbers all that.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I wanted to maybe be a pediatrician with the color
for color full office, or maybe a psychiatrist working with
people with mental let me say yeah, with mental problems,
because I really felt also had either a passion for psychology.
But in the end, I just realized that on that
(03:56):
cancer and oncology is the place where I wanted to
spend a lot of daytime hours because yeah, as a doctor,
it's a place there where I can feel I can
really make a psychological difference. But music has never left
my side. I was about my third year of medicine
when I decided that I can't let music go and
(04:16):
I decided to screw this, I'm going to do music
as well. And I just started creating songs, producing and
putting them out there, and one thing led to another,
and I realized that medicine can take up my daytime
hours if I choose my lifestyle correctly, and music can
take up my nighttime hours and my weekends. And that
(04:36):
actually fit very well, like a left hand and a
right hand, and it's very possible to do both. And
I must say today I'm at a point where I
I am very grateful that I could spend my.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Time and my knowledge and things really.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Helping people in the medical sphere and with a field
like oncology that is very psychological, but then also using
the lessons that I've learned during the tough times of
medicine and working with a lot of people and relate
that into music that I'm proud of, where you can
also make a difference into people and their psychology and
(05:13):
their way of thinking when it comes to creativity and music.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
When you look back at it too, and they blend
so well, no doubt, because, like I said, becoming a doctor,
they don't let just anybody into medical school. And trust me,
up the family of the Morale family have got a
lot of doctors in their skin. Doctors dermatologists, pediatricians, things
like that. Got a lawyer in the family so we
know all about the hard work out there. Got an accountant,
so I'm pretty much taken a chiropractor. So it's all
(05:38):
around my family too, so I heard about it too.
My dad was a pharmacist for over forty years, so
it trusts me. It's running our family too. And they're like, well,
what are you going to do. I'm like, well, I'm
not going to go to medical school become a radio host.
They look back at you like, uh, I'm like, okay,
well you got a talent, you might want to share
it with somebody else out there. But I commend you
for going that route too, because it has to be
a passion and not something that you just kind of
go in. And you have anything, you got to go
(05:59):
in all the way, no doubt. But I love these tunes,
and I'm curious to know who kind of really set
the tone for you, whether it be a band or
an artist or several artists for that matter, and what
genres of music that you grew up listening to. I
want to know about that.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I would say my favorite band just because they really
put out so many great Songs is the One Republic,
and they're really a role model to me just to
persistently put out new music.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And they do have.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
A sound, but they constantly try and new things, and
they sort of set the tone. I must say that
that in the same birth, Taylor Swift did the very
similar thing where she was just authentic to herself and
to her music, and it's just very nice to see
how music can be impactful and how you can really
you don't need to follow anyone's example. You can just
(06:51):
be an authentic artist and just put yourself out there.
So I've had a lot of musical influences, but I
would say my rock side, it was three Seconds to More,
is basically because Jared Leder has a fantastic voice and
he really inspires me to improve my vocal capability. But
(07:15):
from a songwriting perspective, it's just amazing how the guys
at One Republic just put up put out so many
songs and write for so many people, and it's just
nice to see that creativity doesn't need to have an end.
You can just keep creating and it's yeah. So I
would say that the ones that really write their own songs,
(07:36):
the singer songwriters turned global or my inspirations.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I love that too. One of the top greatest artists
and bands of all time out there too. And you're right,
they do right from the heart out there too. I'll
tell you what This one comes from the heart. And
if you want to be inspired, you got to crack
it up to It's new music release Friday. Easy for
me to say, right there, Yeah, new music released Friday.

Speaker 17 (14:08):
Welcome to another edition of Backstage Past powered by the
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morell.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah. I told you guys would like that song accounts.
It pumps you up. The good, the bad, and the beautiful.
It's like a life in general right there. It's the
three things that we talk about every day when it
comes to the different things in life that we all experience.
Out there too. Nelvin Beck here with us on the
Backstage Past, KYBN ninety eight point one, your Bay Area
Broadcasting Network and our friends out there anytime, the Sports
Guys Podcast dot com and of course THWN dot org
(14:44):
and iHeartRadio podcast. So when this one dropped for me, man,
it really just kind of rejuvenated my day looking back
at it. I mentioned those three ingredients that people have
because we all go through that in this thing called life,
the good, the bad, the beautiful, all this. How did
you guys come about the idea for this great tune?
And again just master craft? Well done, man, This song
is awesome.
Speaker 13 (15:04):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah, thank you so much. I really it's kind of
words from you.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So I've been genuinely considered a positive guy, you know,
and you get people that are optimists that they tend
to try and really ignore the bad side of life
and only focus on the good. I tend to be
a very positive realist, where it's just because there are
bad things and life, bad things that happen in life,
(15:30):
it doesn't make life bad. You know, sometimes bad things
happen to good people. And I've realized something that and
I see it a lot in my patience, where the
way that they grow when they go through struggles, and
I've realized that we all actually are on a journey
of emotional maturity and that we only develop once we
(15:51):
go through struggles. No one grows inside their comfort zones.
And that actually made me realize that there's a big
positive point of going through some bad times.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And my favorite line.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
In the song is mountains where their valleys like they're
proud of their scars. You know, you won't go finding
diamonds only searching the stars, And basically it just means
that you can't just focus on the good things. Sometimes
you need to dig in the dirt in order to
find the diamonds. And even though that it's a very
it sounds very it's an imagery thing, it's just very
(16:27):
relevant to life as well, where you really need to
experience some bad things in order to appreciate the good things.
And bad things aren't necessarily something that makes life, that
says that life is against you.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It's an opportunity to grow as a person.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And I want to one day be someone that has
really come out the other side of life, proud of
the person that I've become. And I know that I'll
only be that person if I've had the chance to
develop the characteristics through out of comfort times.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I'm someone that really likes.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Jimming and working out, and I know that that bad
times are like emotional jimmings, and and I just want
to as all too realize that there's a positive side
to when bad things happen to you. And I hope
that it really puts a positive spend on everyone else's
day in life.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You know, it really does. And that's the thing about music,
you know, speaking to people, resonating with people, and a
lot of it's in the song. And I do spend
a lot of time, you know, in Nashville doing a
lot of shows and had a time chance to really
talk to and the time to speak to the great
songwriters out there too, and they always tell me, you know,
they said, one good song can just change a person's career.
But it all starts and ends with the you know
songwriters out there, and always, you know, pay a tribute
(17:43):
to them here on the air because you know they're
the ones kind of making the magic. They get in
the writer's room and they get a chance to you know,
spread the ideas, whether it's a solo writer code right.
And you're seeing collaboration become more of the norm now
in the industry too, with the crossovers, and I think
that's a pretty cool thing that you know, no matter
what an artist has done, but they've accomplished, they're still
looking for more. The thirsty, they're hungry, and that's the
beautiful thing about, you know, fighting the right song and
(18:05):
matching it to to your audience.
Speaker 15 (18:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
So I think as an artist, that's that when you
when you create and you write a song, you really
pour your heart into that. But there comes a point
where you're finished with that song and you need to
release it, and there's a thing you can't be a perfectionist.
You need to just be authentic and decide that I'm
finished with this one and just release it to the
(18:29):
world and then be proud of what you've done. But
if you're an artist, you want to continue writing and
continue creating. So just because you've made music that you're
proud of, in no way it's satisfy. In no way
does satisfy your desire to keep on creating and keep
on inspiring. And I think that it's really a beautiful
(18:51):
journey of really pouring your heart into something and doing
something to the base of your ability, one thing at
a time, and just to keep doing that, to keep
getting better at it. And I just think it's such
a beautiful growth journey for any creative person.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's the beautiful part about it is, like you said,
seeing something just kind of being born, almost like a
newborn baby out there too, and just seeing who's going
to record it put their stamp on it, and then
again just resonate with those audiences out there because I love, love,
love live shows and love live concerts, and I can't
wait till you get down to Texas or if I
come see either in Nashville the writers around or if
you're doing something up there too. That's the exciting part
is just seeing it live and man taking it from
(19:31):
the record and just putting it into that feel and
that vibe for an audience out there too, because they
can bring those lyrics back to you, which is that's
the part. I know you guys love is like performance
and like being on stage. Talk about that, because that's
almost like an addiction, right Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I think that's the validation of it. When you create
something and you see that it has made something to people.
I might say that it's very nice to hear that
your songs mean something to one person, or it's very
noble to say I'm writing and if I can just
touch one person's life. But there's a lot of validation
(20:06):
in when all crowds in to music back to you.
And I think that's really the bit to me of
what we're doing is to write things not necessarily for
the attention, but once once you get that response from
the public, it's probably one of the best feelings. And
(20:27):
I think mostly the beautiful thing is most musicians really
come from a place of struggling and working hard and
not really getting that recognition that attention. So most musicians
that I know are humble at heart, and when you
get that recognition and on such a great scale, it's
one of the best feelings in the world.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Really is too. And like I said, songs like this
too that keep it going and mentioned this This one
came out just a few weeks ago right there too,
in August. It feels like forever people look ats October

(27:58):
I'll mentioned this one because it was such a feel
good song. We all need to kind of feel that
a daily basis. We talked about, you know, the good,
the bad, and the beautiful and just what life means
and the positive outlook on it. But when you can
put one like Melody and just I see your double
peace sign. It comes up there in the photo, which
is really cool.
Speaker 13 (28:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Talk about the artwork for this one, because it really
kind of set the tone for the song. It really did.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, no, that artwork, you don't need to be fancy.
That art group was taking my own house and I
moved into a house and it had colorful walls and
I've actually painted everything mutual colors except the one room
that I just haven't gotten too. And then I wanted
to release the song Melody. I just asked one of
(28:39):
my photographer friends to come in and I thought the
song needed something vibrant, and we set.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Up two lights. I just stood in.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Front of the wall, wrote the name Melody on a
on a on a tape that that I just tyckleed
my mouth and decided, yeah, let's just take a photo.
And I think it came out super cool. I grabbed
everyone's close to me and I had to sports and
wrist bands. I put those on and I thought it
looked super rocker. And yeah, it's just the product of spontaneity, really,
(29:10):
but I thought it came out pretty.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Cool, really a banger of a song. Love that too.
And then let's go back to twenty twenty three. You
know when I got to check out here too and
really listen to And yes, guys, I do listen to
every song that gets submitted to me here on the show,
So you cannot say that I don't because I do
listen to all the music and that's what makes the
show what it is today. Love this back to twenty
twenty three, and of course I can't believe it's almost
(29:33):
a couple of years old. It's still crazy to say
it's November next month. But Break a Broken Heart, let's
get a little backstory on that one.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Break a Broken Heart was actually a cover of a
Eurovision song by the country Cyprus. I'm trying to remember
the guy's name now, but I listened to the song.
It was super dramatic and I thought, yeah, I want
to cover this song, mainly because it really had a
(30:02):
crazy vocal range to it, and I did it as
a challenge to myself, and yeah, I'm very proud of
the way that it came out.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
It is a cover, it's not an original, but I wanted.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
To The very first song that I created under the
brand name Nelvin was a dark pop type of song,
a dark pop rock, and I just wanted to put
a dark pop edge to this breakup, broken heart and
just throw my vocals. And basically I thought that I'm
very proud of the way that came out.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You should be too, love that too. That's the thing
about it again. The music's just so enthusiastic and so
many great positive messages through it too. And like I said,
talk to a few fans of the show too, you're
gonna have them on. Yeah, we'renna have you on there too.
We're gona talk about a lot of music there too.
So always cool, talk about just uplifting songs and making
somebody you know, feel something great in music too. The
last single that came out, or should say the one
(30:55):
actually last year in October. I love it because again
taking something, having fun of it too, and kind of
putting your own spin on it. Talk about when I
rock for.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Me, Yeah, when I rock, I basically just wrote on
as a student, I spoke a bit a while back.
I was in the last third year of medicine, decided
to screw this, I'm going to do music, and I
just started writing songs.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
And my name, even though my band name is called Melvin,
my name.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Is called Pierre, and which is it's like the French
name Pierre, and it basically means rock or stone, which
it's nice to take some deeper significance, you know, as
strong as a rock or as strong as a stone.
But it just means rock. And whenever I write music,
I just choose lyrics that don't really make sense just
(31:42):
to get a melody down.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Why, but I just started writing I am rock, I
am rock, just to get something down. And then I decided, no,
I'm not gonna say I am rock.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I'm gonna I'm actually going to use the word rock
in this song.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And then I decide when I rock, When I rock,
well what happens then I must say I was a
geeky kid, so I always wanted the girls to like me,
and I just thought the best way to go from
there is when I rock.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
When I rock, man, this dupe becomes a player. Every
move makes the crowd want to be my little lady.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
And it was just a tongue in the cheek song,
and I decided, Yeah, I'm gonna release this thing. You know,
it's not gonna sit on my phone or on my
computer and no one's gonna hear it. Let's do Let's
have fun with it and release it. And that's basically
where it comes down. It's definitely tongue in the cheek.
But I do enjoy it, and I enjoyed writing it definitely.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, putting your own personal of such on lyrics and
just having fun with him, and that's what makes a
great song out of it.
Speaker 15 (32:47):
Too.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
You don't have to be serious all the time and
just kind off. You're gonna put it out. Always tell
artists don't second guess it when I when I do
it too, I'm like, you know what, we do so
many of these shows. I'm like, you know what, just
put it out. If you make a mistake, you make
a mistake, and let's so no self correct yourf on
the air with the songs, have fun with it, and
just let lyrics. Like I said, let lyrics speak to
an audience. You never know where it's going to take somebody, Hey,
when not doing music there and you kind of get
(33:10):
to Nashville. So no, it's not every day I get
there being from Texas, and of course you're from South
Africa too. What are some of the sight seeing things
you like to do? Because Nashville is just more than
music city. It's become so much more out there and
it's so very much diversified. Now.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, no, Look, I arrived in Nashville an hour ago
and I'm gonna say but I've taken probably fifty photos
and then in the last two hours, I love you
next to a Thunderbelt and University at the moment, and
(33:45):
I just gone away to just go out into the sheet,
have a coffee and walk around. There's a lot of
sites to see. I want to go to the Bluebird Cafe.
I'm going to the Opry, the Old Opry with Scott
and at Atkins Entertainment and Rachel and then they're really
fantastic with doing the pr that they're doing. I've got
some backstage passes to some all the open shows that
(34:09):
it's a very relevant now talking on the backstage pass
and they really just just arrange this beautiful chip for me.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Just meeting with lovely people and networking.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Because coming from South Africa, it's you know, on zoom
and things that you do get you do meet people,
but it's just very nice to meet people in person
as well. And so I've actually got a full schedule
of meeting with some industry aids and industry people, and
but I can't wait to just walk around the streets
and to see a couple of the sites because there's
(34:42):
a lot of history and from my first steps, I
just couldn't stop taking photos.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
And I feel sorry for my my iPhone storage.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Because I think just three days I'll definitely need to
buy some buy up some more terror.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Bytes yet back up to and download them and saying
it to another device to clear up stores there too,
because I do it every time I go there too.
There's always something fun to see in the town there too,
in the music city, no doubt. Looking back, I got
to talk about this because it's different from over over
here when we talk about football and in football in
South Africa too at the same time. But I love
watching the athletes kind of do their thing over there too,
(35:20):
and I know for teams and different rosters and players
you guys root for. There's a certain history of football
in South Africa and of course Johannesburg and all the
different teams that they have over there. Tell me about
some teams you pay attention to and is that kind
of your thing compared to American football, you know, football
in South Africa.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, so we don't really have We don't have American football.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
We call it American football because it's in America. We
have something very similar obviously called rugby. Rugby, yes, and
we are fanatic about rugby. I think similar to to
the way the Britons are with the football. With soccer,
we are fanatic about right. And we have our team,
the spring Books spring Booker and we are very proud
(36:06):
of them.
Speaker 21 (36:07):
They they are the current world title holders, World Cup
title holders, and very recently there was another championship with
Australia and.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
New Zealand and Argentina and we took that cup as well,
and we're just very very proud. And I'll say rugby
is very close to any South African's heart and it
even played a big role in our in our democracy.
In our we have a big history with apartheid and
racism and everything, and and back in nineteen ninety forward
(36:42):
was the Rugby World Cup, and so winning the Rugby
World Cup which really smoothed over a.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Lot of civil war tensions.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
So rugby is very close to our hearts, and I'm
very proud of South Africa, and but that's not the
only sporting thing we're currently Also a South African is
the world's strongest man at the moment, and I'm definitely
even though I do go to the gym, I do
not relate.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I'm very far from being the world's strongest man, but
I do hope maybe one day be the world's best.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Male rock vocalist.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
So yeah, I'm definitely also depending on making so that
we could proud the same way that I'm sporting teams do.
Speaker 17 (37:26):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
But I remember that movie like it was yesterday too
with Matt Damon and Victus, which is one of my
favorite movies of all time. You mentioned that spring Box,
which is pretty cool obviously. Morgan Freeman playing the character
in Nelson Mandela just a tremendous film out there too,
and one of my favorite films of all time. And
now he's become one of my favorite artists from South
Africa out there too, available via downloaded across all the
(37:47):
DSPs now, but we appreciate the time here on the
backstage paths, my friend, have fun in Nashville and enjoy
all the sites and the sounds, and tell Scott and
Rachel Lesson hello here from all of us here at
