Speaker 4 (04:11):
So I.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yes, sir, before we talk about Like a Virgin and
your unique process, what's been on your heart and mind lately?

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Dang, I like I'm constantly grinding, you know.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
So I'm online constantly doing my promotions.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
I'm doing a Halloween party.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Coming up, my slow in school, I work with the kids,
you know, so I stay busy.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
My friends ask me when do you ever sleep? And
I really kind of don't.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yes, sir. So man, all that grinding and you know, constant,
constant moving that you have to do and maybe just
something you like to do. I remember being that way
at one point in the time of my life. But
does does that give you time to really reflect on
the things you have accomplished and the things you want

(05:08):
to do in the future.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Absolutely. Yeah. As I'm doing the grinding, you know, I'm.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
Trying to reach her goal, you know. So I'm accomplishing
my goals. But then every so often when I'm at
home by myself, I go through my body of works,
you know, and I like where I started and where
I'm at right now as far as my.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Music, and so let's talk about that. Where did you start?

Speaker 6 (05:38):
So my mama said that I've been singing and dancing
ever since I was able to walk and talk. And
she tells me the story that when she was pregnant
with me, that she sang and dance and listen to
music all the time. And her relatives told us that
boy is gonna come out singing and dancing, and so
she said, I did sell So told me that when

(06:01):
I was two years old and my auntie taught me
how to work a turntable.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
And I remember that I was always the ones at
I come from a large.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
Family and when we would get together, we sing, dance,
you know, and I would always be the one playing
the music.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
At a young age, you know. So music has always
been my love.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Did you come from a musical family?

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yeah, kind of kind.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
Of kind of kind of So my immediate family, about
my mom, uncles and aunts, they all could sing, they
all can dance. Well that wasn't their passion. But let
me tell you a secret. My fourth cousin is Stevie Wonder.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, my great grand my great great grandmother and his
mother they're blood sisters.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Wow. That's cool, man, to have somebody like Stevie Wonder
and your family.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
Can everybody be asking me, well, if Stevie is your relative,
why don't you need him up and as you ask
him to help you. But I don't want to get
there on anybody's culture. I want to build my own career.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and sometimes people don't think about, you know, handouts.
Sometimes it comes with a price tag or someone holding
that over your career, your entire career.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Right. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
But so at an early age you're providing the music
for these family get togethers. How did you develop your talent?
At what point in stage did you start to develop
your talent?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
I just think it just came naturally.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
I came out loving to sing, loving to dance, loving
to do music, and in school, you know, I always
were in school place my background in theater. At at
twelve years old, I wrote and produced, well, not wrote,
because I've been writing songs since I've been a little kid.

(07:54):
But I produced first, not twelve or fourteen.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
You know. I wrote some lyrics.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
I had a friend did beats, and I had a
best friend to uld seeing her behind all she still
can saying really well right, and I said I want
to I want you to sing my song, and I
tired her the song. We got in the studio and
we produced our first song, and from there it's been
off to the racist man.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
How are you when this happened?

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I was fourteen fourteen when I produced my first song.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, man, that's incredible.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
I've been doing it ever since, and so I was
always the person behind the scenes, right. I we put
together groups and work with artists, you know, produce and
manage them. But I always had the people to the
door and not through the door. So about ten twelve
years ago, my cousin was my co producer rock Fizzle

(08:46):
and I we decided said, I want to do my
own project. And originally it was supposed to be us
writing and producing the material and bringing in the people
we've been working with our fans to sing it, you know.
But then after we dimbled out, I call myself demo
on out perst song and he was like, Bro, you
don't mean nobody just saying you're so hard as you
could do it yourself. Like, well, come out. Really a

(09:08):
sigma behind the scenes person who's like where you are now.
And so that's how it started with my own projects.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, was that a tough decision. I mean, you have
been behind the scenes for so many years. To me,
people behind the scenes are the ones who make the
things move, you know, the connector that make things happen.
Was that an easy shift for you?

Speaker 6 (09:32):
I just have to get used to putting myself up. Fine,
But what I've taught myself, what I'm proud of is.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
That everything that I've been God taught the.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
Other artists for nurtured and the other artists, I put
it into myself, you know. So it's showing me that
I know what I'm doing and talking about, you know.
And so I have a label called New Avenues and Entertainment,
and so right now I'm focusing on me. But my
goal is to break new mainstream, right, and once I
get myself out there and go.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Back and we signed acts, right, and I'm gonna tell
my acts. My Look, if I could do it for myself,
think what I could do for you.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Mm hmmm exactly. So, uh, let's talk about it like
a version. It's one of pop's most iconic songs. I
think it's one that can't devote, captive, vote, captivated or captivoted, catapulted.
There you go, Madonna and to everyone's.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
House, Cooper start on.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yeah, that's what took her on the superstar on her
first project.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
You know, it put her on the map.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
But when she put out like a virgin, that's when
she became a superstar.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Mm hmm. Everybody talked about that song.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah. Did you know that it was originally written? So
it was it was written by men, and they were
going to put it out themselves, you know, by men.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Who Yeah, the two writers were men and they it
was for their part project. But it happened to come
across McDonald's death and she liked it, you know, she said, oh, I.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Want to do this wrong.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
So she's convinced the record company into acquire the rights,
and then she got with Nil Rogers of Sheikh and
he's the guy that produced it, and he said that
he didn't like it at first, but once Madonna put
her spin on it, they're like, Okay, I get it.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now there are certain records that are
people would consider untouchable because who remakes a classic, But
you chose one of the most iconic ones of iron Well,
I don't know my generation put that way. And what
made you choose this record? And what was running through
your mind the moment you thought I need to remake this.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
So I love doing covers right, And if you go
and look at my dixography, you'll see I have a
whole project called cover right, and I take on songs
that that I feel. But what I do is. I
always put my flip on it. I never tried to
do it like they all days, right.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
And one day I was at home one weekend, I
was at home.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
And I was binge watching videos and I love the eighties.
The eighties is one of my favorite decade, and Madonna
stuff happened to come out, right, and so then I
was like, okay and so, and I've always been a
Madonna's fan, right, But I went back and revisited from
her very first single did she put Out? All the

(12:26):
way to the last stuff that she put out, which
was twenty and twenty four, She's on some rap birthday, right,
And after revisiting her work, I said, quote unquote in
my mind and I said, Madonna is dope. And then
Like a Virgin came on and I started singing along
with that, and I.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Said, ooh, I could do this.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
And I said it would be filthy if I put
it out, because people are used. They think it's a
woman's song, but if you if I put a man's
stamp on it, it would be a flip. And that's
how it came about. And I called up my cousin
rock Fizzle. I was like, Okay, this is what I
want to do and he said, well, what makes you want.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
To do that?

Speaker 6 (13:01):
I said, bro, you know I'm always on my own thing,
you know, so let's do it. So originally, in my
mind I thought I could sing it in her key.
And back in the day Madonna was singing very very high.
She I think she's like with the first soprano. And
I got in the studio and I sank it in
the original key, and my.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Cousin just let me do it. And then I got
home and.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
Listened to it, and I sounded horrible, sounded like cats
fighting each other.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Right.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
So then the next day I came back to the
studio and I said, Cuz, why did you let me
waste all this time singing this in this key? And
you know this ain't my key?

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Right?

Speaker 6 (13:36):
And he said, he said, you really want to know
the answer, and I said yeah. He said, you're extremely
hard headed, and so I want to tell you know
that's not your key.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
You don't sound right. You would have said no, no, no,
let me get it out, Let me get it out.
And you were the art you know, so I knew
what you was going to say. So I said to myself,
let him get it out. You know, get home and
see that that's not within his key and I said, okay.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
So then we went to the piano and we found
a kid that was comfortable for me, which is actually
five steps down from worsty.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
S it and that's the king. Hear me singing it there?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Nice? Nice, and you're right, you know, like a version
from a man's perspective or a man's approach. Would it
never crossed my mind. So when this crossed my desk,
I was like, hmm renew like a virgin okay, and
I had to go check the I g now I
was even more tried. I said, oh, okay, I'm gonna
wait for the interview because this is an iconic song

(14:29):
and he's a male performing it. I'm gonna wait. I'm
gonna wait. So yeah, man, I'm waiting you hear did
you hear my virgin vision of it?

Speaker 4 (14:39):
Okay, so we're gonna hear. We're gonna listen to it
at the same time.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yes, I'm going to be intrigued like the rest of
the listeners.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Sometimes I plan it like that because when I'm throwing
a curveball or something that you know, it's cliche. Okay,
I get this a female singing it. But then I
looked at the ig and I said, oh no, okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Let me tell you this. I also redid my covering project.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
I redid sex Shooter by Apollonia, right, And so I thought,
so you heard that one.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yeah, So that also throws people for a twist too, right,
because it was a woman that put it out. But
if you listen to the lyrics or the songs, even
like a version and sex Shooter, it's written from him.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Prince wrote Sex Shooter for himself, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (15:23):
But he just gave it so Originally it was supposed
to be for a vanity project, right, but then once
that didn't work out, they gave it to Apolonia.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Right. But if you listen to the lyrics, it's totally.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
From a man point of view. He said, I'm a
bomb baby, ready to explode. Go ahead, kiss the gun, guarantee,
big fun.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
That's a man's point of view, right. I never heard
the original version.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
So yo, you never did?

Speaker 3 (15:48):
No, never heard the rig?

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Okay? Yeah, so I was like, you know, you're a
nineties kid.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
No, I'm an eighties baby. That's why I knew about,
you know, like a version.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
Okay, and you don't remember Purple You didn't watch Purple
when it came out.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
No, I never seen the movie Purple Rain.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Oh okay, you gotta go see that, bro, It's iconic.

Speaker 7 (16:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
People know that they'll take my black card. I've never
seen Juice Our Boys and yeah, but Purple Rain ain't
just a black movie.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
It's really a pop movie, you know, So they'll take
your music card from you if you're what I'm saying
that everybody back.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
In the day saw Purple Rain.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, but it's still you know, Minneapolis, I mean yeah,
motors yeah, yeah, yeah, Minneapolis. Oh yeah, I'm messing up.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
You're just being a human, You're not AI.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, I don't know why I thought about the motor City.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
But yeah that's Motown.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
Yeah, two great sounds Motown and then Minneapolis sound.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Two great sounds. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
So originally you plan to do like a version in
an eighties style.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
But we did do the eighties style, I said, and
so we so initially I said, I want to do
it the very eighties.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
We used a lot.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
Of the same sounds that they used during it, and
those are even live drums.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
The only thing. Everything is played on the lives right son.

Speaker 6 (17:22):
Afterwards, I went home and I thought about it, and
I said, now I want to do a twenty twenty
five version. I said, right, And I called him back
and I said, schedule me sometime, and we did, and
I said, we'll slow it down.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
And we went and we slowed down my vocals.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
And there was a song, a popular song that was
out during the time, or a song that should have
been popular. They didn't really go off on the tug,
but I was digited, and so I played them that
and I said, this is the direction I want to
go in.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
So then he said okay. He said, well, so what
do you think the basemine should be?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Right?

Speaker 6 (17:52):
Because a lot of times I hum out my baseline,
but then I hummed out exactly the song.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
He said, no, bro, we saying bite them like that, man,
come on. But my, it's such a genius that he
took them. He did it.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
Simpler to what the song that I wanted to do,
but then he made it his own right. So once
he got the basse line down, we did the beat
and then I told him, I said, and I put
some chords during the chorus so we can separate the
chorus on the verses right.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
And he did so.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Then once we got that done, he wanted to go
and to really fill it up. You know cause my
cousin such a genius. You know, he plays the drum
keep or guitar and bass, and he just wanted to
fill vem.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
I said, no, no, no, we did all that on
the pop version. I said, today's music is simple.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
I want this just to be club right, So I
just wanted my bass line, my beat, and my voice
to ride this song. And he's like, you shure, and
I said yep. But once we mixed it and then
I went and nastd it invite it back.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
He's like, yeah, you right, What made you switch directions
to a more slow down mimlisi one?

Speaker 4 (18:53):
I always do that.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
If you go and listen to all my shingles I
put out, I have like four different versions that each
fingle and my cousin always asked me why do we
do all these different versions, and I said, because I
want to be able to fit in all different markets
and get if so if somebody maybe they don't like
one version, they're like a different version. So that's just
my trademark. All my singles. I got like four or

(19:14):
five different.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Versions of them.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Wow, which version do you end up liking the most?

Speaker 4 (19:21):
I love.

Speaker 6 (19:21):
I hate when people ask me that I love them both.
That's that's like asking me which child.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Do I like the best? You know, for sure, I
like them both for different reasons. But but but now
I'm gonna be real out the the twenty twenty five
version hits, it hits, it hits, it hits.

Speaker 6 (19:41):
It's been, it's exploded on radio. I got five million
FN radio station. It's five million on state listeners weekly,
you know.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
And from one of.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
The campaigns I took out, I just got added to
seven more radio stations from that campaign.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Right, I've been on the are playing it and then
the cool this is the best frame. Right, So when
I performed it live, the audience really resonates with me.
And as soon as I get to the lack of
version part women's screen.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
Every time I performed at the women's screen and they
just get into it and come up and start dancing
with me and man, yeah, So I really feel like
this is gonna be the song that is about the
breaking into mainstream because I have a lot of independent success,
but I ain't had that mainstream hit yet, you know,
and that's what I'm tasting. I want I want to
break into the charts, the mainstream charts.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
I think you had it there, man, I thank you well.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
I want you. I want to I want you to
play it and then tell me what you think.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
I will do before we get to that. Uh, you've
been speaking about your cousin, rock Fizzle. Uh you've worked
closely with rock Fizzle. What's your collaborative chemistry?

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Like? So he is my blood cousin, our our and
we tell people this when we introduce ourselves. Our moms
are sisters, right, So I know I'm a little bit
older than him, and I've known since he was going.
My mom told me that me and my brother actually
taught him how to walk, you know, because every summer
people will come and stand it with us. So working
with Rocks, like we've been creating music since we've been

(21:14):
little kids. With each other, it's like having a twin,
you know, because and when people say it's in the studio,
they trip out because a lot of times we don't
verbally communicate with each other, but we just automatically go
with the other one's thinking and where we want to
go with it. It is so easy working with my cousin.
So easy.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
That's dope.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
But he tells me, he tells me, I challenge him
because rocks think is funk, you know what I'm saying.
And West Coast, but I've done Like when we did
our first dance house remixed right, it was like, bro,
I don't do house man, YadA YadA, And this is
what I told him. I said, a good producer is
going to be able to do all genre. I said

(21:55):
what I Taylor Swift called us up one day and said,
I want to do want you got to do a
club with me? Are you gonna turn all that money
and say I don't do the club?

Speaker 4 (22:04):
And You're like no.

Speaker 6 (22:05):
So once we got past that, he says, I always
challenge him because he wouldn't have did the lack of
virgin you know, that's not his thing, you know, But
I'm always pushing the boundaries, you know.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, I love that. I love that. Shout out the
rock fizzle. All right, guys, it's time for some music
we have, like a version by Renew, and then we'll
be back to put him in our traditional hot seats
where he could perform for us. If he wants to.
He could sing, rap, do some spoken word, tell a joke,
tell a story from his life, player instrument, to give
some advice, or to do nothing at all. That is

(22:38):
cool as well, But for right now here, it is
like a virgin stay tuned.

I really can't right now. I'm actually out. I'm at

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, I'll probably get kicked out the building. So proud nobody.
You guys could check me out on my TikTok, my
Instagram at r O N A U or the real
one new and I got several wonders on there.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
All right listeners. Just in case you need those links,
I will include them in the show notes and in
the description of this episode, So all you guys have
to do is just click those links. I did want
to ask you this question before we'll let you go.
You have a video that has a vampire inspired treatment
drawn from the movie Centers, which I went to see

(28:20):
a good movie. When inspired that choice? And what was
the creative process, like, you know, directing and adding the
footage yourself.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
Well, one of my degrees is in digital film, right,
and so that's something that comes natural to me. But
when I was thinking about the video concept, I was
like kind of stuck for a minute, right, I was like, Okay,
I don't want to copy Madonna, so what am I
going to do? But then I went and saw Centers,
and then I also watched Empire of the Vampire, right,

(28:51):
and I was like, damn, let me make it a
vampire thing, you know what I'm saying. And so if
you see the video, I meet this girl outside and
I bring her in to the club, but I guess
she thinks she's coming in, you know, the kicking with me.
But I'm really setting her up to be my prey
and at the end of the video.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
She's my play nice all right, true Vampire. See it
was my version, true Vampire.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
All right.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Thank you so much for new Man tonight. You've shown
us how to breathe new life into something timeless. From
Madonna's lack a version to your version, your modern version.
You prove that a remake can be both a homage
and innovation. I don't know how you did it, but
you pulled it off. And we talked about the process,
the visuals, not so much about your vision for New

(29:45):
Avenue's entertainment, but we know that where you want to
head with that, you know the bigger doors and windows
for other artists to get through as well. And it's
clear that you're building something bigger than music. You're building
a movement. So to our listeners, make sure you scream
renews like a virgin all the mixes, EP and Washington video.

(30:07):

asking cool questions and getting cool responses. I think that
we are here as creatives to provide an example that

(31:19):
you can do things different outside of expectations, because some
of us simply were not born into the club. But
there is perhaps a door window or backgate that we
can leave a clue for you to get into. Life
is short, but there are plenty of moments to try

(31:43):

mistakes may be tough, but regret it's tougher to book
