Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ladies and gentlemen, Good afternoon, Welcome on the Culture News.
My name is David Cerebro, and I have the pleasure
to have today on iHeartRadio, the Culture News and many
of the platforms. A wonderful, wonderful music artist. His name
is Travella. Let me spell it loud for you. It's
a TS and Tom r Ave double La Travella, a wonderful,

(00:24):
wonderful artist who has released who will have very soon
his first album, his debut ablem which is coming out
this month on the twenty seventh of November. And this
album tells a true story from heartbreak and feeling completely
lost to finding the light at the end of the

(00:46):
tunnel and coming out on the other side. We love
these kind of albums. These are the true, beautiful story,
the authentic stories. And now we are so lucky. Before
we start to play his new songs and one of
them is called Climbing Out, we are so glad to

(01:07):
have today over the phone exclusively on iHeart Radio, the
one and only artist Travella. Travella. How are you today?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm good, Thank you so much for that beautiful intro day,
But how are you?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh my pleasure it comes really from the heart. So
I'm wonderful and I'm almost as great as when I
heard your beautiful music coming out. It was fresh, it
was new, it was heartfelt, and this is exactly what
we love here. So thank you to you and congratulations.

(01:38):
So first question, I would love to know more about yourself.
Can you tell us where are you from and how
did you start music?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
So that's a little bit of a funny story. I'm
from Utah in the United States. I personally had never
had any interest in music before, but I got a
little drunk one time and decided to write a song
and it kind of just turned into this.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
After writing a song for the first time, I was like, hey,
it was actually kind of fun. I'm gonna keep doing
it as fun and it's starting to turn into more
and more.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
And it did turn out to something very beautiful. So
who are your music influences the audiences who have inspired
you the most.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'd probably say artists like Shawn Mendez or Justin Bieber.
That's the style that I kind of follow. It's the
easiest style for me to sing.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
And indeed, you you learned from the best, as we say, right,
So where are you based now.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm still in Utah. I'm still in Tremont, Utah, in
the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
No, no, it's it's it's where the heart is, you know,
so exactly. It's it's we say hello to all our
friends in Utah. We're so glad. We have actually a
lot of people writing us from that beautiful state, the
state of Utah. My accent is definitely not from the
state of Utah, but to visit it someday, beautiful state

(03:02):
of Utah. So travela where the name is from.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
So this goes back years and years back when I
used to game. I used to post on YouTube and
like socials for the gaming and stuff. And it's actually
a soccer term, the travilla where you kick it with
the outside of your foot, but I put a little
English twist on it and turned it into an A
and added an extra L. So it actually stems from
from soccer.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I love that. And I suppose you love soccer, right,
Oh I do.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yes, I've played and internationally, so.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Ah, good for you. You're not from Paris. We're kind
of the world champions, you know in France, you know, so,
yes you are. We're kind of That is the one
thing we do not too bad, you know, with food.
These are the two things we do well. So fast
forwarding to your debut album, your first album coming out

(03:57):
this month on the twenties seventh of November. This is
gonna be a great this So tell us about what
mouch evaded you to do these album to soa, Okay,
I want to do an album and not one song
after the other, and to really install yourself into really

(04:18):
this beautiful piece that you're doing on this first album.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, to be honest, I didn't plan on doing an
album at first. I kind of just wrote a song
with how I was feeling during the time that I
wrote it. And you know, during the time when I started,
we're going through a little bit of a heartbreak, feeling
a little loss, you know, down and so I just
wrote the songs to help me through that until I
eventually found somebody that helped me, helped me get through

(04:45):
the dark darkness and now you know, living life great
on the other side of the tunnel. So yeah, each
song just kind of told the story in the time
that I was at and I was like, you know,
it'd be better. Just really saw this in an album
that truly tells the story instead of each individual song.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, indeed, it tells. It tells the story. It tells
a beautiful story as a matter of fact. So tell
us about if you could tell us the songs that
we can hear and if you get to tell us
a word also about each song.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, So the two songs that we'll be playing in
this interview, Climbing Out kind of brings the whole album
to the end. It talks about, you know, the troubles
that I've had in the past. It is motivating for
people in it. It talks about like if you're in
that struggle, like there's people that have been there, You're
not alone and you will find your way out. The

(05:38):
other one that will be playing is called Found the
one I Actually it's a duet with the person that
I found and now that I am pretty madly in
love with. But it's really fun to do a song
with her and have it in the album as well.
And yeah, it just talks about how we were both
kind of on the same page, both kind of lost,

(05:59):
not really knowing what our direction was in life, and
then we found each other and now we're both just
living life together and taking it one step at a time.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Wow, that's beautiful. And are there any other particular songs
in that album that you want to address?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Not in particularly, I kind of want to leave it
up just so they can be a little bit surprised.
But it does start depending on what you like. The
first four songs in the album are just about pretty
much heartbreak and filling down and lost, and then the
middle five to eight songs are about coming through that
figuring yourself out, and then the last songs are filling

(06:36):
on top of the world and being happy.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, it sounds like a real emotional journey, right, Well,
for sure, you know from A to Z, you know
you said it all. So we're so glad that it
is a gentleman to have the wonderful artist Travella, who
is with us Travella again, go to check him out
on social media and purchase his album if you're listening

(07:02):
to the show after November twenty seventh, because it's on
that day that his first album. We have to support
debuting artists their first album. We have definitely and he
always becomes collector. You never know. December, sorry, November twenty seventh.
November twenty seventh, the artist called Travella Travella beautiful, beautiful album.

(07:25):
He has released several songs and we are playing Climbing
Out and plus another one. What are your social media?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
So on Instagram it's just my normal name, Tanny Jarman,
and then on everything else on YouTube, Spotify, TikTok, Snapchat,
all that it's my artist name Travilla.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well we cannot wait to I'm sure the audience is like,
when are you gonna play it? We want to hear it,
We want to know more. We want to know more
about these great artists that we have today. Traveler. So
when you release, like a new song, do you test
it out to friends, to people, to your beloved one?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Like?

Speaker 1 (08:15):
What is your process? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
So I'll get an idea and then I'll write the song.
I won't tell anybody that I'm writing it, but I'll
write it and I'll finish shit, and then I will,
like I said, I'll let my family listen to my
close friends and family, and then I also let my
loved one listen to it too, and I take their
feedback on it, and I do any tweaks that they
suggest and just kind of go from there. And then

(08:37):
once it's finalized and ready, then I start teasing it
on socials and then I post it.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
And what is your process of creation? Like how do
you write your music and how do you put it together?
How do you record it?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
So I start with just a small idea in my head.
For like, like I said, one of the songs that
climb in out one, it's just that one. I was
planned after I had the other all the other ones out,
because I needed a piece that end the album, and
I saw I think of the title first, and then
I base a song off the title. So I'll think,
I'll think of a title and then I'll start thinking

(09:14):
of the chorus, and I'll just spend a night or
two and just focus on the song and just write it.
And then after I write it, I will come up
with a beat. I use Studio one to record everything,
and I just come up with a beat. Sometimes I
test out different vocal styles and then I just see
what I see what sounds right, see what feels right,

(09:35):
and I do multiple, multiple takes until I'm happy with it,
and then I record it, I mix it, I edit,
I do everything myself, and then once the finalized piece
is ready, I start letting people give me their input
on it.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, and and I love that you do that, you
do everything that you put it all together. And back
in the days it was considered as a flow, but
today I think it's a It's a very big quality
because you arrive to exactly the sound that you want
and to the mix that that that that you want.

(10:11):
Is that how you've always been doing?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yes, actually it is. I mean I've had offers to, like,
you know, like join a team, be part of a team,
but I like having the full creative control and it
just being my idea, you know, because like I'm not
doing it for anything in particular. I'm just doing it
because I enjoy it and as fun as the way
for me to get like my emotions out and connect

(10:35):
with people. And so I really enjoy having the full
control over it, which if one day, if the right
team offers, maybe, but as a for right now, I
really enjoy being solo and just doing my own thing.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
That's great, that's great. I love when you finish your
phrases and you go, you know, like a little very
white type.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
You know.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
We love that. So before we start to play your
beautiful music again, we'll start to remind everyone how to
find you and how to stream and purchase your great
music again. Your first album is coming out this month
on the twenty seventh, November twenty seventh, So what are

(11:18):
your next projects? What are you doing next? What is
coming up for you?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
So a song released today, I have another one releasing Monday.
But as for after the album, I'm not completely sure yet.
I'll just kind of take the input on how the
album does, see what the fans like, and I'll just
kind of go from there. If they like the sadder
ones more, maybe I'll just start putting out some sadder songs,

(11:44):
same with the happier ones. Do the same there, and
then while I'm just releasing songs individually, I'll be on
the side project working on another album that probably tells
another story, because I really like portraying a full story.
But as of right now, I don't have any plansarticular.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Well, our plan at least is to listen to your
beautiful music. What are you going to do on November
twenty seventh? You're going to celebrate? How would you be?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, I'm going to celebrate. It is Thanksgiving, which when
I first released it, I didn't realize that it was.
It's kind of like an anniversary with the with the
girl that helped me through all this, and so that's
what was in my head first when I planned all that.
But I mean, we'll just take it and celebrate since
it's Thanksgiving anyways.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, well we will be there definitely. I can guarantee
you that on the twenty seventh, to applaud you, to
celebrate you, to congratulate you, because you are absolutely one
of a kind, the wonderful artists, the traveler, beautiful beautiful artists.
Again travel I spelled tea as in Tom Rave double La.

(12:59):
You can find him on social media under the name
Tanner Yarman Tanner Yarman, and this album tells a true
story from heartbreak and feeling completely lost to finding the
light at the end of the tunnel and coming out
on the other side. You have to go on all
platform right where you're listening to this show, you'll be

(13:22):
able to find the album and to streaming, to purchase
it and to share it, just to click away. It
doesn't cost you anything. And believe me, he makes a
whole difference for this great new artist I said you
because he has a first album coming out again this
month on the twenty seven. So for Thanksgiving. This couldn't

(13:44):
be a better way to celebrate Thanksgiving. The bell listening
to this great autist travella. Right now, we are going
to play the song Climbing Out, plus another one that
is following right after Traveler, before we say goodbye to
each other. Do you have any word for Hans?

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I just want to say if you're going through a
hard time, time heals everything. I know you might feel
lost right now, but just talk to somebody and I
promise you that you will get through it. You were
stronger than you know, and that's kind of the message
that this album displays.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
So exactly, And what makes us feel stronger is to
listen to you wonderful. This Traveler right now is Climbing Out,
and another track of it is It's a beautiful day
in New York City statuted with us. Yeah, nothing but better.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
We've all been down there before, but I'm climbing out now.
I was lost in the dark with no ana, whole, hard,
heavy light, the world but a wait on myself, dreams,
by reading on the dirt, thought and never full butterflies
barkingside and now was burning let though broken nice cold floors.
I remembered them with every scarded I wear, gotta sell

(14:54):
read itself, fell down seven times, but rose on the a.
Now I'm running with the storm and st from the paint.
Every step by tank, the ground fields high, every bread
dumb feed that fire. I was changed in the past,
but I broke down loud. Now I'm standing on the.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
We thought we were better up alone, so hard keeping
different samples from different roads through the same front port.
Now we breed us one like never before. Although off
bill a coming and down every empty ancle lost its sound,
we didn't just find that undil the same sunner we

(18:46):
found on.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Yeah, we found one best friends this year Coffee on
the silk minnine messages. When the house went still, he
said only love so early from wrong. Somewhere in the hush,
the truth grew was John.

You laughed, and the way I care return life, all fears, voting, light,
paper and the knight which the studies with playlists and
grace didn't know.

Wrong was the shape of your names. Didn't know the
keeper my peace was you didn't know the future started
back again, Ruth heavy starting stock, sitting us and place.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Heavy step we took was turning me in the face.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
We thought we were better up and know so far
as keeping different sad balls from different roads to the
same front door. And I we breeders one lying them
a before all the lords we build to come the
end down. Every nauti echo lost did sound. We didn't
just find out under the same sun we found the

(19:55):
line everyone so still was leading you.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
Every that became statatude.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
If I know it, then how to let you in
where one of these belongs, where the story begins. We
thought we were better rub alone. But the life we
follow now is home from mounting rooms to of course
we become hand in hand as one. Yeah, we found
a lot of all the laws are down and die.

(20:22):
He is done. Every long he could turn to a son.
We didn't just find out under the same sign we found. Yeah,

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
