Speaker 1:Yeah, a year and a half later yeah back and forth, it's always crisscrossing. It's that busy lifestyle, it's legit, it's fun on one side, but also we get busy, we get doing, but we make appointments. It's always crisscrossing, or it's make appointments like months in advance also but shit happens, so things change exactly and hope that something not bigger than your appointment shows up because it's love bro but unfortunately it's like you're asking for, but unfortunately, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:You're a guy who doesn't like a bad word. I'm like no, I mean no, seriously, I know you, but I haven't dove into your stuff. I want to know what perspective you have. I mean, I know you're a Kevin, I don't know if you know, kev, yeah, you've been in it.
Speaker 2:You've been in it. I'm a super fan. Exactly, I own my shit Exactly.
Speaker 3:I love Kev. Okay, so for people who don't think that they're ignorant or dumb it's like I don't know it's better to do it than to do it A person who's a super fan. I don't know much. Yeah yeah, yeah. So I know a little bit about you and I play on the radio, but I also have hot shots. I know of you, but I don't know too much about you, so I want to learn today about who's Kev.
Speaker 1:All right let's get it. Okay. My name is Kev K-E-V-V, with a pen in the back. My goal, like in the whole of I'm the dude that's making music to try to make your life 1% better. That's it 1% more positive, 1% more happy. I started with music when I was a kid. I was about five years old.
Speaker 3:How old were you? How old were you, I was?
Speaker 1:29. Okay, I started with piano. I started playing piano when I was a kid. No-transcript piano, piano, that was my one instrument. This is it, this is it, this is it. And so I don't really sing. I'm a Jewish singer. I don't play the piano, so I know voicing, but I don't really sing. I don't sing, I don't sing. Not it, not it, it's not it. It's a whole lot of blackmail material out there, yeah, but I and I'm like these people are living off of this, like this is a career, it ain't a hobby. So it is possible. If you tell me that 1% of people are doing something, who are you to tell me that? I?
Speaker 2:can do it exactly so it is possible.
Speaker 1:I'm a smart dude, so it is possible. Okay, so it is possible. So it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible.
Speaker 1:So it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible. So it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible, so it is possible. Yeah, I'm going to hit this session real quick. I'm going to make it in time. It was never really matching.
Speaker 1:I'm doing the schoolwork, doing the schoolwork. Let it go Just to make me happy, just to get a diploma to make me happy. But, marie, for me, if that ladder you're climbing for your parents or for your people, whatever you have to do to make them happy, never has an end. Let it go After that. Okay, I want to have a job, I want to have a house, I want a. So if you keep putting yourself on that ladder, you're never going to be happy. Fuck bro, could I live with myself immediately? I'm like no, I gotta switch this up. I gotta switch this up.
Speaker 1:Controversy, controversy anyway, controversy, controversy, anyway. I stayed at home All day. I stayed at home. No, I went to the studio All day Instead of going to school From 9 to 6 Without YouTube. How do you mix, how do you master, how do you produce, how do you write, how do you sing, how do you record? How do you work with the DAW Everything? And after that I was let like a one-man production company. I could make me for sintha away. And then this was the those the emitting unkantika full claw skibi hasi record master everything everything, everything.
Speaker 1:and this was my action, my ad video editing, time it to it. There's everything, everything you're gonna even possibly me, me as some style and, to echo japonico, I was unstoppable. That decision that I made was a really hard one, really hard, so it was really a leap of faith. I'm going to deviate from the straight and narrow and follow my own path. No, that is a straight and narrow, sorry.
Speaker 3:Deviate from the straight and narrow and to follow my own path. No, that is a straight and narrow. Sorry.
Speaker 1:Deviate from the more known path, from the general, and to go home into what I want to do. Let the luck automatically take. That leap of faith Shout out to Ali. She was the one who told me no, I believe in you, do this. Four months later, baselirami hit. Four months later, it became a hit. Four months later, it became a hit and that opened every door up for me to just do whatever I wanted to do. But I I was going to fly out to Korsawa to do a show. I was going to fly out to a BBF concert.
Speaker 1:It was like a whole. A whole, the idea was like okay, you're doing something right.
Speaker 3:Keep going. And I don't know how I discovered that I was looking for a girl. Yeah, I started posting you like. I'm like who the hell is this calf guy like? Yeah, I'm like popping on social media. That's where I discovered you.
Speaker 2:I don't know what it is To actually perform the song. It's one thing to listen to it on Spotify, but it's a Full experience To go on stage Because it's this little scrawny kid and he's having the best time Of his life and he's having the best time of his life and he's like I like you, but you're going to have to leave me Like. That's up to you and you know what the funny thing is?
Speaker 1:I wrote that song to remind myself that you're making this decision. You're taking this decision right now. Don't let anyone stop you. Don't let anyone stop you. Don't let anyone stop you. Choose for yourself, and if you don't get it? If you don't get it, you'll be done.
Speaker 2:That's it and that was the song that opened the door. I'm like if that's not a sign from above, I don't even know anyway, come on, come on, but wait, I have to say, as a fan, right, I was in rooms with a lot of different people, very big artists, but nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, makes music. That makes me feel the way Like Mane Babisa. It's extremely positive you listen to Kev's music and you have to smile.
Speaker 3:If you don't smile, something is really wrong with you.
Speaker 2:The emotions you go through when you listen to it and you know when Kev is on a track.
Speaker 3:You were talking about it this morning as well. We were sitting in the back listening to your music, like Mastin and Pong, and we were going over some stuff that we want to do today and I was like I'm going to do this and I'm like I can think of the fucking bones.
Speaker 3:It goes back to what he was saying. But this channel I was trying to figure out a way how to compare it and I think it's a lot of artists that do it in a way that's repetitive. It's the same kind of thing. It's just to get a view, just to go viral. But that, and when I think about J Cole, j Cole is very lyrical, as in he has. He has letters and messages, yeah, and that's. I think it's a great idea. But the instrument is great, but the flow on the side, the lyrics on the side, I'm like man it's the rap and sing.
Speaker 2:It's the.
Speaker 3:I don't know, if you know, there's a lot of Different things In ABC, so if you like Something I don't know If you like it at all, but this, oh controversy.
Speaker 1:Whoa, whoa, whoa. Nah man, we're gonna get shot Like.
Speaker 3:We're gonna get shot, we're gonna get shot, so we don't.
Speaker 2:My wife's American I have to really be into it, to be like okay. I want to hear more of this.
Speaker 3:I got into it when Randy Leroy got that song. No.
Speaker 2:Vibe, he said that was a good one.
Speaker 3:That was my in into this Papiamento scene yeah and the especially genre, yeah, and but I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. It was so positive and so chill, so that's my take on this.
Speaker 1:One thing I can say, so this was my one rule when it came to being an artist. I'm always going to be myself, regardless of what room I'm in, who I'm talking to, what I'm singing about, what I'm doing. But I can say the cheat code you can make a song addicting by having, by following the three, by focusing on the three principles to make it addicting. There's, you can have a beat that's really addicting, a beat as doing 90% of the work the beat.
Speaker 2:Is that hard to just okay?
Speaker 1:but you need a flow and you need lyrics. Those are the three, the triangle of a song. Yeah, if you can master all three, you're a legend. If you can do the beat or you be able to say the look at the pasta and the army. The flow is the most important and then comes the lyrics. Whatever I'm singing about is the. If the flow is catchy enough, you're just gonna sing it. It's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1:it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna it, you're done. That would be my first thing I do. Or I start with a beat, I start how is it Okay? And then tiki-tiki, or I just say. Then you go through words and the words for me. You know, you can make very easy words and I don't know. Say something, just say. But I love idols like Juan Liz Guerra, oscar de Leon, wow, bruno Mars, king. Mas yeah, these people are saying something, and so I want my words to not only say something, but also how can I? Oh, that's what he said, and so that's what I like to do.
Speaker 2:That's lyricism and everybody does not have that. Yeah, but again, as a fan, one of my favorite songs is Bonita. Oh yeah, oh yeah, because I'm gonna throw back. I'm gonna throw back. Yeah, how old is this song? It's from his first first album, if I'm not mistaking. I think the first one.
Speaker 1:I think the first one Is the heart. Wait, is that on the heart?
Speaker 2:No, it's on this one.
Speaker 1:The heart, the only addict, life things. Life things, yeah yeah, life things. That's the third.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So it can take a Money.
Speaker 2:Like you're talking, it's only my favorite. That's the third.
Speaker 3:Okay, so I did not see that coming Like you're talking.
Speaker 2:To me. You have one of the best Hums ever.
Speaker 3:The best. What, oh hums?
Speaker 2:This guy To me.
Speaker 3:I was about to mention that you don't have to.
Speaker 2:I don't need words Like I've. I don't need words. I don't need words. I don't need words. I don't need words. I don't have to. I don't need words Like I've. I don't know if I can say it In a good way, but I'm asking Please make a song, just humming, just humming.
Speaker 3:But so right In that song.
Speaker 2:You start with and I just For me. I can like hear the whole.
Speaker 3:I put my head On her face. I like that whole shit For me.
Speaker 2:I smile With the video On my face, or I listen to it On my face.
Speaker 1:But that's the flow. Replay, that's the flow. You don't need the words, I need no words. You need the words I need no words and that's what I want. I'm talking to every single artist Out there. For me, I want to be honest, being together To create amazing music. The flow Is the most.
Speaker 3:Important thing.
Speaker 1:Please Pay good attention To the flow, make Craft the flow, respect the flow, but don't respect your mom. That's my, that's my, I swear Amen. Anyway, that's it, amen.
Speaker 2:You definitely got it. Yesterday we had a conversation With SZA. Shout out to SZA.
Speaker 1:I love that dude so much. I love that dude so much that dude came power. Artist like money, go and have yeah, damn, I messed it up already. No, I swear sorry, grandma, it's okay. 20 minutes, I held 20 minutes, that's a record that's a record. No, it's okay, it it's okay. Grandma understands. Grandma understands.
Speaker 3:He got too excited, I got too excited. No see, we ask because we ask people like next time at over came back with like an artist that was like was like making some big things, almost cursed again. Everybody's talking about you like dude, calf, calf, calf, the way you sing the flow you sing how you sing. It's a vibe, it's not like, it's more like just relax.
Speaker 1:Yes, and it's like listen to the music, just buy some drink.
Speaker 2:Just chill, like just chill, just chill. And that's what I was talking to you about. He was saying like you're not, you have not broken through ainda, we're not getting to that really big, big breakthrough moment. Okay, now Kev is mainstream. And for me, I was like, I think for that exact reason that I'm in love with Kev. So you don't have the ego, you don't have the cockiness of just, ah, yeah, like like you're, every favorite, everybody's favorite artist is favorite artist I love that yeah you did something cool, but carve your own lane.
Speaker 2:You sound like nobody else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was, that was also so easy. Or a moment like this, like by town artist. Okay, what is everyone doing? What's popping? Kiki, and there's always, so then you're seen urban. I was in a band. Oh my god, I was in a band. What band? Talk about it, talk about it. I'm not gonna say the name, no, but I'm not gonna say the name.
Speaker 1:Talk about it, but you know who you are and they're probably watching. I was in a band and this was the last band. For a reason I had a notion that I was in a band, but lately I've been watching the drama that I'm like. I had a notion that I was going to be a bandmate but later on I just went the drama that I was in a band and I just went but then give us an example.
Speaker 3:So whoever's watching like, oh, I'm going through that, like I don't want to be in here so I'm going to exit. Education wise, it's, education wise, it's purely educational.
Speaker 1:I was in a band and I have a lot of ego let me just say that. And then, of course, a lot of ego, a lot of love, a lot of love. And then I have a lot of easy tasks. That's why I say if you don't know how to do it, you'll feel it so yeah. But I'm just, I'm me. It comes to music, I like being a little bit of a perfectionist, as you should, as you should no we can do this better.
Speaker 1:I was trying to take over, I don't know and I'm just sitting there like bro, I'm trying to make the whole band better. I'm just trying to put this music on a level it needs to be okay. Okay, that's what you're gonna do. Or, with a band, your success is literally tied to not only your bandmates but your voice as well. I'm like I can't have my success be in someone else's hand. I'm sorry, but I also have my own success. So if I have my own success, I don't have to use a mixer to mix. I don't have to use a beat. I can do everything myself. I'm going to do it myself. But I have amazing producers. Shout out Ethan Morris. Shout out AXL, shout out. But to make my name for myself, I'm like no, I have to fight, show who I am, respect me. And the other one will say, hey, I'm going to get fired. And the band way was not it, I swear but you had to experience it.
Speaker 2:It was part of your journey.
Speaker 1:It's always so but I didn't want to be in the band because no, that was that. But but I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. I wanted to do something a little bit more serious, but that I just wanted to be where the music is. That was, that was my, that's pretty much my life compass. I'm following the music. I've seen amazing things in his life. I've met amazing people. I'm right now, hello, there we go, let's go. The, the, the, the band thing was not it.
Speaker 1:In the end, it wasn't it no no, and everyone knows there's a lot of people who don't know if, in the end, our band hits what to know.
Speaker 3:We gotta know this but if he mentions it, we'll know who the band is. It will be very obvious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's not put him in that position.
Speaker 1:It will be very obvious, so let's not put him in that position. I can bleep, can you guys bleep it? I'll say it and you guys bleep it.
Speaker 2:No no no, off camera, off camera.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2:Amazing dude is crazy you came with the Afro beats vibe, light, light, ding, a bi-level scene, yeah. So I was like what the f?
Speaker 1:is this I like to push. I like to push the boundaries pure. The scene is stagnant because it's either urban, off rhythm or I'm making a name for myself at this point. People know me for a lot of meeting, multiple hits. At this point, why not bring something different? But I'm still gonna put 150% into the sauce, into the flow, into the everything. But hopefully, honestly, it's doing pretty good, it's still it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not. And the public went crazy. Yeah, but I love Afro, I love, I love you do it. I can listen to country, I can listen to classical, everything. I'm like hey.

Speaker 3:It's shark with two K's, don't get up like I mess it up all the time to be honest my last message was up there, my post and I was late and I was trying to fly and I posted, and I walked and I was doing, and I was doing, and I posted and I was back and I was like wait a second I walked and I was like 2V and I was back and I was like 1V and the dots, and the dots and the.
Speaker 2:So that's what I wanted to get into, I didn't put a dot. I'm a very loyal fan so I just like people don't put the dot.
Speaker 1:I'm like hello, it's KevVV, but that's how you know that I'm a king, to really respect what you do and who you are. So when I see the dot, I'm like hey, hey, you know you fucked all the way.
Speaker 3:Thank you All.
Speaker 1:now I just feel bad being here okay, um, my name is a complicated one. This I've not complicated, but I'm complicated enough, resembling kevin. I want an easier version kev, nice, but I don't want to just be kev, kev to laugh k-a-v. That made it easy. Kev, kev, kev, nice, but I don't want to just be Kev, kev to laugh K-E-V, double V, okay, and the point I put it behind a home because I want to see Kev with a point behind it and I'm like but the point I like. The point is literally what I stand for. I'm not going to be like, oh, no, I'm Kev. I'm not going to be like, no, I'm just Kev, no, no, I'm Kev. I am going to do my best to be the best that I can, but I'm never going to be like, no, I am the one cooking. No, no, I'm not that dude, I'm Kev Pint, that's it. I love it, yeah.

Speaker 1:I feel bad, I really messed it up, I messed it up on that part.
Speaker 3:Just like you, I'm also like a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this, like manera me te va. So the fact that I messed that up of Team BA at the beginning. I'm also like trauma, because whenever I mess up his name, I'm like what do you mean?
Speaker 1:Wait why?
Speaker 2:That's a whole different conversation for a whole different day.
Speaker 1:Give me a short. I really want to know. I had no nickname, my name was Alison.
Speaker 2:I was like what's Alison?
Speaker 3:Why would?
Speaker 2:my mom do that. I love you though, girl, girl, come on.
Speaker 3:It was.
Speaker 2:Alison.
Speaker 1:Be better.
Speaker 2:So I was like you could have done a little bit better, yeah, a little bit stronger, but it's whatever. Shout out to your mom, though I love her, that's my girl found shark for some reason, I was like, oh okay, this is the one by facebook, facebook. So I was like, damn. And ever since it's been shocked with 2K. So I was like, yes, no, respect the 2K.
Speaker 1:It is what it is.
Speaker 2:I'm shocked.
Speaker 3:Come on I love it, come on, and then you just have to be just plain old. That's my name.
Speaker 2:Born and raised. Raised. I mean, we're not mad at that. You know, you need basic people as well, not saying like that oh, that sounds horrible it's a good thing to have mental toughness. You know a little bit, thank god, otherwise I'd be crying back there like yeah, no, all my friends are tough, so you had, you had to be part of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so like what are you doing? Like lifestyle, as in making a living on the islands and in the Netherlands and the community I have in the Netherlands, because in the Netherlands there is a possibility to make a living out of what you do, not only with streaming. In the Netherlands, the most, the most well paid streaming platform, let me say streaming platforms are expensive but in the Netherlands you can make more money than in the US, like it's you sing good. So in 91 they always do gigs like people tour the Netherlands and the city, and the city, and the city and the city.
Speaker 1:That's a whole other thing, but I hate the cold, I hate the cold, the people it's a love hate sometimes.

The same time with the group of 13, the structure and the seriousness and take the work really seriously. Be on time. I don't know if you can hear me, but that was for other reasons.
Speaker 3:No, no, it's okay. Let's do it in Asian or Rugi Island time. You're good, we're on the island. Plus, when you got out, I was also taking a shower.
Speaker 1:So if we were on time?
Speaker 3:we would have been there we go, there we go.
Speaker 1:No, but it's true. I live in the.
Speaker 3:Netherlands.
Speaker 1:I live in the South, but I'm still in the North. I'm in the North, it's so chill, it's so nice. I really want to invest in Antamantiki. And yeah, that is me. I live 100% from my music and content that.
Speaker 1:I make and I'm just loving life, like I see everybody working and doing everything they do, but I'm like, listen, I want a life where I have my time and my man. Amen, that was the lifestyle that I always wanted and that's what I fought for hard. And my partner, for example, still has a working lifestyle combined with what he doesn't have. We work a lot together. We are running the whole company because we have a company we love her too, by the way, I love you so much.
Speaker 1:Anyway, listen, you see the life this. Honestly, I really want to have my own time in my hand. The sticky thing was a build towards that time walking, that's good yeah. So believe me that nine to five, I tried it. I tried it. Wow, I'm sorry, all of us.
Speaker 3:I'm only meeting who I am, who I am, fully miss this. Prior to that I was doing I was bartending and running all of this and running a studio. I was editing the podcast we were filming. I was working from 7 pm to 3 am. So bartender, life, bycast, drummy, lanta, shower, go through studios, book the photo shoots. I don't panic, I just people rent it for them to use.
Speaker 3:And then we have to film and then have other stuff. But for the last year I will keep it the full, full and the like, full review minutes, which I understand the part of like. I also strive for it, but then my problem is I went to so far. Now we don't think if we think of freedom, but we're not thinking freedom, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yep, it's like I have the freedom, be an entrepreneur and not work nine to five. Okay, what are we again? How do we know? Oh, no, now.
Speaker 3:Now I have to work 24 hours exactly, I guess, for like an artist you can just produce and stuff, you can take your stuff on the go. I'm anything like um, I need to physically be there because I also make content for other companies, so the way well, make it as possible having solid passive streams of income.
Speaker 1:That's my goal. So the way pa amico me ah ah, mas ah toh. Well, make it mas possible having solid passive streams of income. That's my goal. That's what I'm striving for and to that's what, tiki, tiki, I could have built. Amico, ah, chill, cause I. My goal right now is I just got married congratulations, congratulations, let's go pero um, is that what okay?
Speaker 1:um, oh, my god, I am a horrible, but anyway, I just got married and so so with marriage comes, I want you, becky. Of course, my goal is to be a woman, but when I'm a woman, I put three months off, off, okay, never off. As an entrepreneur, I always put three months off, but I want to be able to have complete control. I don't want to stay at home with bonds, bracelets or change my diapers.
Speaker 1:I want that to be this. That's why I'm working hard at this time. That's why I'm working hard, that's why I have no time, but I have all the time in the world for her. I'm leaning on her.
Speaker 3:I'm leaning on her. Everybody, every artist, sizzle, miss goes everybody's like yo.
Speaker 1:Sizzle Miss yo, I swear I'm like that was my biggest, my biggest inspiration but like the way this dude lives and he did exactly that. Biggest inspiration but like the way this dude lives goes to you and homie, like last time I was on stage at home on a baby thing I'm like dude, you are living your life.
Speaker 2:I love that dude.
Speaker 1:I love that dude, I love him break the mold constantly and I love to see it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah shout out sizzle man, he's not the norm. Yeah hope he says for life. Okay, now let's talk madura. Yep, okay. So what was the inspiration? You're 29 now. Okay, man, talk to me about studio gigs by the formatting of the songs, the interludes. Okay, that's gonna be interesting, let's go.
Speaker 1:Madura. We started with a concept pure person. I was like it's almost like an album. I started with a couple of songs that I put on the cover and I started with a song that I like and then.
Speaker 1:I kind of created a concept around that. Try it out and then make the whole thing the concept behind Madura. I was like I was you're appreciating different things in life. I'm appreciating sleep, I'm appreciating peace of mind, I'm appreciating having a small circle, you know. So I'm like, yeah, so technically we're going to mature and I'm like, okay, let's make music for the people that are at our level in life, that are here, who you're seeing life a little bit differently. You know well, for example, biggest example, I'm talking about constant clips for different people, you know, but I'm done with the when I play. But I'm done with the.
Speaker 1:I'm like come on, but anyway going through it, going through the whole process, but from the man's perspective. Going through it, going through the whole process Okay, I'm going to fix it. Something's going wrong. Okay, what's going to happen? We're going to fix it. That's what we have. I'm going to tell you Pretty much hard decisions, easy life, easy decisions, hard life. Pretty much hard decisions, easy life, easy decisions, hard life. And then we start the story Mars love Mars.
Speaker 2:Mars is crazy.
Speaker 1:I love that song shout out Iri, amazing producer, love that song. Listen, I don't want, I want to just be a producer. Let's make something together.
Speaker 3:I'm like yo chance lora and then you make a lot of music with him. Though I love that dude, he's he's my big brother.
Speaker 1:he's crazy talented. He was my mentor pretty much as an artist, and I promised him being like this let's start making music together. He was the one that inspired me to become everything I am today. Thank you, mr Shantz. Shantz, I swear God, what's up? I don't know how to start with Mars. Mars is over there. We're is the high point really.
Speaker 2:then, this way, this way another song I love yeah, noé is crazy.
Speaker 1:Noé. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, but the crazy thing about Noé is it was the last song made. It was the song that wasn't even meant to be. It was way is.
Speaker 3:It was the last song made. It was the song that wasn't even meant to be.
Speaker 1:It was. It was the song. As soon as I heard that and the nose, I'm gonna come. It's a shape, a concept. It became the song that it was and I had to go high up. I was like yo, okay, anyway, we put, we made that song. As soon as that song finished, they're like this is going to be the face of the album.
Speaker 1:Now the last song became the face of the album. Okay, no way to pop it over. The moment, this was a high point on Mars. No way to pop it over. Cool, henry, don't do it. But I'm saying, hey, something is wrong in this relationship that you're having, and so, no, a perspective, not only, but from heaven, from heaven, from heaven, from heaven, from heaven, from heaven, from heaven, from heaven. Listen to it again. You will, okay, send it um, deal, this was the I say to be in, deal, then deal that something went wrong. Now it's not good person.
Speaker 2:It's me approaching the person directly. You understand, I know you.
Speaker 1:I know you, I understand what happened, what happened, what I thought you loved me, what happened? Okay, this deal is interlude. Yeah, interlude is the. What do you say? A chasm, a low point.
Speaker 2:That's what I said.
Speaker 1:In a low point. You also have new music, you have new people and you're coming to the realization that sometimes life can go wrong. But in those moments you make a decision. Are you the victim or are you the person that's going to choose to be better, and then it becomes toxic. When it becomes toxic, you say, oh, this person really is toxic and I'm going to choose for myself. There's, but they, they told me to be um it, it, it, it, it it it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it it. I don't know. In that moment you're choosing for yourself.
Speaker 3:I was going crazy. You're choosing for yourself.
Speaker 1:And so that is pretty much that. The toxico, and the after toxico comes. No worries, si, yep, okay, no worry In that moment that you chose for yourself what it means to come out of the low point. There's going to be hard moments, there's going to be moments with moments and moments of fighting, but after that, moments and moments of not knowing, no worries this makes sense.
Speaker 2:Awoki, the next song. Everything is going to be okay.
Speaker 1:the next song everything is gonna be okay. I love that song it's like a great gospel you know what's the funny thing? As an artist, I had a whole journey also another story but I had a whole journey from church. I come from the church, but I had a whole lot of questions that I couldn't answer and they were like don't worry about it, just believe. But I can't just believe in something cool.
Speaker 2:Give me the full story.
Speaker 1:I have a whole lot of questions, but anyway, I was battling, battling, battling. My first thing I did I was at church because I needed to see what my life can be without the things that I have to face. I don't have to face something that's gun to my head but you're like no, no, but like shut up and believe I don't want to be.
Speaker 3:I don't want to be. I don't want to be. I don't want to be. I don't want to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be.
Speaker 1:I don't want to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be.
Speaker 2:And it's always been clear in your music. It's always been clear music is always clean.
Speaker 1:No sex, no drugs, no violence, no palabra malos. That was the. I don't know why I looked at you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:I just saw a tag. I was like this I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1:I'm working on it it's okay, it's not neither here nor there. I had my whole journey and I was like tiki-tiki but I got to know that, oh, my whole thing with the religion thing was not really the God part of it, it was the kind of the church, the church, the church, the church. It's a-made opinions. Who are you to tell me what is perfect? This thing with Mr? Beach up there, the whole. Thing. I made my peace with the whole thing.
Speaker 2:I have my connection with.
Speaker 1:God directly. I always say this I can't make gospel music again. My first gospel was with with Wami Bong. Wami Bong, I don't know if you can hear it, I don't know if you can hear it. I don't know if you can hear it, but pretty much that was when I got to the point where I was able to make a gospel and release it. And then, 10 months later, I started moving. My mom and I were touring from the album. So tour from the album. So we still see me. They already had their numbers and I'm like the gospel nice, it's a gospel, but it's made in a way that everyone can love it. It can play in a club later. Look, okay, dope, everybody needs God. Everybody has those days.
Speaker 3:Sometimes you're in a you're just pointing at me no everybody has quiet, mic. No way, you're just pointing at me.
Speaker 1:You need God, bro. You need God. No, no, everybody has those days. You need the power. You gotta do this again from outside. That was 10 in my mind. 10 in my mind pretty much again. And in the end, now that you know yourself, you know what you deserve, you know what you need in a relationship, you know what is a good and well functioning relationship. It's not a person what to look for. As long as I see those, characteristics.
Speaker 2:It's not the superficial stuff, it's the morals, it's the values, it's the.
Speaker 1:That's what I fall in love with as soon as that's the person that I'm falling in love with.
Speaker 2:That's it I'm marrying you.
Speaker 1:That was the from the top to the bottom, to the top, and the told from a male perspective perspective. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do it myself, and so we can also be vulnerable. We can talk about the things we can talk about the things. Talk about the things we can talk about the things. Talk about it. I can do it too, and the place I'm at. These are the things that I learned, and so I'm putting myself aside of, I'm losing myself in something. Listen, I'm worth more than this. Choose for yourself. I thought you would say Bota Tur Artista is your favorite artist, because look at, what you've been doing.
Speaker 2:Choose for yourself To Be a good singer. I think Both of you Are your favorite artists Because Look at what you've been doing.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But the song Last Sing me Ravel. The vibe Of the song Is. Everything about it Is just it was the perfect Closing song. It's a song that I listened to For a long time. I was like, okay, I can't wait To get to that song. It was the perfect closing song. It was a song. Listening to Madura, I was like, okay, I can't wait to get to that song like I can't wait but to actually listen to it from top to hell. Yes, I swear guys, I respect albums. I don't play about albums.
Speaker 1:Madura is definitely an album. I think it has that story. Definitely an album. It has from top to bottom, knowing the story. I don't knowing the story because listen to it now and then watch the story flow. But you have to.
Speaker 2:I'm very big on artistry because for me when the album comes out, I listen to it in headphones. So I listen like, okay, what's left, what's right, what drums they wanted to use?
Speaker 3:I mean plus, if you use headphones you're like you're really listening to lyrics. There's no, yeah, you have to listen to every single thing and honestly, I know I'm not talking as much as you guys, but I'm more of a spectator and when I listen to you, when I listen to you, when I listen to you, when I listen to you legit, I'm like rethinking some things in my life.
Speaker 1:I but this is what it's about. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I'm literally going through this shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, so it's like it makes you think about Chayka, her last album. What's it called? Sex tape? Yeah, sex tape, but the way she talks is like the way you're talking about it, like the story. I've never, I've never heard a single, I've never heard an album that listens the lyrics. I've heard Chayka Papio. I've heard the album and I'm talking in a different way, apart from maybe same things happening. I listened to it 3 or 4 times but, like, randomly, it wasn't in a story, in a sequence of how it feels.
Speaker 3:So hearing this now I'm thinking at what point in time did I get?
Speaker 2:to hear this listening party.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I just got a text for a fourth recording asking and I just got a text for a fourth recording asking what was it Green?
Speaker 1:yeah, shout out to that dude yeah, dude they made a movie and, I'm honest, we're excited about the movie. I'm excited about the movie for real.
Speaker 1:I'm like it's so beautiful to see my people, my people taking and the only reason my people I mean ABC, we get it like I'm so happy to see my people taking art seriously because we are amazingly like so talented. Again, when I go to the Netherlands, I go to the studio chemical engineer or I go to Delft, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I don't know no one.
Speaker 1:I swear we have so much talent, so much creative talent, but we've always been doctrine school school, school of baseball of Kiko. My biggest goal as an artist, my vision and mission is, if it's baseball, but if it's Kenley Johnson, who's an example of how successful he is, 100% with a note of the normal route that he's on and he can hey, I'm going to make something that's going to inspire me to make something facts.
Speaker 1:I'm going to make an album. I'm not going to put toast on, it's possible. Put music, put music. Make it international. I want to be that for Curacao and that's my biggest goal and I want to be the artist to represent Curacao, to keep everything clean. That's always being done for me, but I want it to. It's you the brand is you attach easily? I want it to, I want it to.
Speaker 1:I want it to. I want it to. I want it to. I want it to. I want it to. I want it to. I want it to. I want it to. I want it to, I want it to, I want it to. I want it to. I want it to, I want it to, I want it to, I want it to, I want it to, I want it to, I want it to, I. Before you can just have a setup at home, test out that you know more as an artist and when the day comes, you'll know more you've already made history.
Speaker 2:Honestly, there is no artist like you and there will never be another artist like you, but you were genuine from the get-go About your sound and every other thing. This and you put it in your music. Everybody listening, like I mentioned, could relate. Or even if I'm not there, oh, like. I know somebody that went through this. Wow, look how he did this. And though na final is always a positive message. One thing I always also have to give you is you have some of the best ad libs. Again, I cannot listen to a kev song in no smile smile.
Speaker 2:Like Going back to like Some of the old ones, like I play A little and In the ad-libs Behind I go yeah, all these weird Funny noises.
Speaker 1:Like this guy plays too much. You know, when I sing In the ad-libs or when I sing live, I sing, but it's the same, yeah, it's the same, exactly, exactly, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2:That's it.
Speaker 1:That's it.
Speaker 2:That's it, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. Specific song yeah, it's safe. When I was like what is he doing? I have this challenge. There's no real words there, it's just a vibe. Yeah, but think. Interlude of an intro.
Speaker 2:I think it's like a nephew. Wait, it was a voice note.
Speaker 1:I think it was Life Dengas.
Speaker 2:Yes, it was. It was a blue album, that is one.
Speaker 1:I don't remember. I don't remember.
Speaker 2:I know it's something very cute yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm using it. Yeah, I love Crazy enough To connect to my music. I swear, I get videos constantly. My kid loves your song and I love to see it. I love to see it, the energy of the music.
Speaker 2:You don't need it. You don't need it. You don't need lyrics. Honestly, you do such a great job with the music itself.
Speaker 1:Lyrics are an added benefit yeah, but I work hard on that too. No, we trust you.
Speaker 2:Your lyrics is if you're not even playing the full album of all this good stuff, but I'm just trying to show how much of a added value it has if you're not even playing the full album of all this good stuff, but you're just showing how much of a added value it has. If you did not have the lyrics, we would still be super fans yeah it's just cool. Now you have lyrics. Yeah cool I can also relate to. Yeah makes the music even again if the triangle is there.
Speaker 1:I'm sure then you're just doing the utmost and the non-perfectionism as long as it kind of fits. But I walk in my house. I'm going to release a project very, very soon, my first, first collab album that I'm going to release. Oh, and in that one we're going to focus a lot on the lyrics and my favorite song on the album, which is probably going to be everyone's favorite song as well. If you have a good song, put it on the list. For me it's on another level. I'm really excited about this one. And, yeah, as an artist, as an as a production company, you can put out music and I can't get the bonus.
Speaker 1:People will listen to Kiko, but marketing is everything, and I hope it's not, I hope it's not marketing music, unless not. I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I hope it's not, I I love that show. I love that show. I love that show.
Speaker 2:I love that show.
Speaker 1:I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show. I love that show.
Speaker 3:I love that show. I love that show, I love that show.
Speaker 1:I love that show. I Anyway, and then and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then and then and then. But it happened when I actually met my best partner. The same thing happened almost in that case. She was just so because it was in awe, we've known each other for 12 years it's been, it's been coming.
Speaker 1:We're best friends. I, like you, I'm still trying to figure out what I want in life. You really are the one. You understand me like no one else understands me. Until you're there for me, 100% this. I'm like listen, I'm just gonna do this. But it don't get up at the long distance to this. I don't know if I want to do this. I've been through this once. It's been horrible, but I really feel like you're worth it. Just let me go and try it out, and it was the best decision I ever made.
Speaker 1:But in the moment, I feel like I fell in love and then, and then, and then she said Yora, and then she said I'm going to sleep and I'm like oh, no, she left me spiraling.
Speaker 2:I'm like what do you mean you're going to sleep? What do you mean you're going to sleep? Talk to me.
Speaker 1:I'm like.
Speaker 3:I'm going to sleep, I'm like, I'm going to sleep.
Speaker 2:I'm like I'm going to sleep.
Speaker 1:I'm. We probably got some of the best Kev songs because of it that's Danky, I swear. 70% of my catalog is because of her thank you, baby girl.
Speaker 2:You can see me not saying it a while.
Speaker 3:I got a question what was that point?
Speaker 1:what happened was again I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her and get to know her face. But what I did? I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her, I know her is real. That was one um favorite song, but here it goes with me. I saw you, diego Macando, in Aruba.
Speaker 2:Okay, hey, okay, sharky the VIP was like that's my jam, yeah.
Speaker 1:I loved it okay. But here it goes um. One day she came to my house and my mom she was the, she was my mom, she was the, she was the one she was the instigator of that. But what happened? My mom? She came to the Netherlands for vacation and I didn't go back to the Netherlands. My mom said I want to go back to my home in Cologne, so you can come with me. I know you as my friend. So she went. But when I got home I went to Cologne, I, I go to the colony, or I go to the colony and then I go no, I don't want to go to the colony. And then I have breakfast and I'm like why?
Speaker 2:are you doing so much Anyway?
Speaker 1:But then I go to Groningen and then I go to Den Haag that's like three hours away. So she comes to me, okay, I'm going to the colony, I'm going to Bokask, and then I'm like this is so good I don't know if it's a slightly not talking face or whatever and she came and she gave me a cologne, but I was like, buy back my son. I was like chill, murato. I'm like, okay, chill, what did she do? I was in a car with my cousin's wedding and I was the only one to go to her wedding.
Speaker 3:I don't know where everything comes from.
Speaker 1:But I was in a special thing in my life with a student. I have 25% card and she told me yo, you have a special style. So I said, save hell of money, you're a student.
Speaker 3:You need it and I said ok but I procrastinate on things like that.
Speaker 1:And she said, oh, it's gonna be fine. And then she called me and I was like, and then she just left and I'm like, okay, you have to write a motivation. You know me well enough to know that I'm gonna procrastinate on this and to lose an opportunity that can really help me and to proactively help me with it.
Speaker 1:And I'm like, if that's not if that's not something that I need in my life, someone who not only knows me, but you damn me based on my weaknesses. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I'm then train, train, not auto. I didn't have that.
Speaker 3:I was a student.
Speaker 2:I was a student. What?
Speaker 3:I assume you had a car. I'm so blessed.
Speaker 1:I'm so blessed now but I swear in those times but anyway. But I was a commitment, I bought three hours. That was the day it was a date, but she didn't know it was a date. My homie said, bang, hang out. But I wanted to test the waters and to see, and to what we did was we were planning, we were bowling, we were eating, we were kicking, we were playing, we were snaking, we were showing our school, we were in a park, we threw stones in the water and to see, hey, how deep is this doing stupid stuff?
Speaker 1:and we had the best time I want someone in my life. You don't need to be on a roller coaster to have fun.
Speaker 1:You can just have it you can just sit in the doctor's office, you can just sit at home talking. You know that the conversations can go on a deep level, which is very important for me. The last step I'm like, nope, it's going down that my plan was set. I bought a ring. No, no, it's easy. I think I gave you the promise ring, my soda, but my bye. I'm like this is gonna be it, my no, I have the whole day at the restaurant and listen, I know that our relationship of our friendship was like a roller coaster, but I really want to say, first off, I'm sorry about everything that happened. You're really special for me and I really want you. There's a walk. I'm gonna show you that I I always showed her love, but I never actually showed her. You're really special for me and I really want you. I'm going to show you that I really want you. Do you want to be my girlfriend? She was like why would I say no in that moment?
Speaker 2:Why would I?
Speaker 1:play with your emotions. Anyway, I was like I'm serious, I want you to be my girlfriend. After that Time passes, trauma I was like I'm serious, I want you to be my girlfriend. Okay, cool. And after that time passed, we started to look at each other Drama, not drama, but drama, just drama. Looking at each other, nice, they were different, we were different, we were different, and then we were actually together and then we looked at each other A long distance. We weren't in a relationship, we were distance, but we're still long distance for like six months.
Speaker 1:But so things, a key or a precise was a until it's well, a being, and after that it was a in was I call, see, give him a little until I would like. No, I feel like I need to propose. I'm what was on the company. Come, we look me down. When it comes to choosing a partner, I'm really difficult. I'm not gonna like a business okay when it means can sign me, can when it actually'm actually clear. But the moment I look at it, one thing you said shout out, shout out. Stacy, she got proposed to and I look at her and I'm like I think I'm ready for this. I think she deserves to have that commitment that I'm going to be, I want to be with you for life. And then my plan, my proposal. I was like I posted your last story about the AK family and this new page, the couple page over here, Love it. So what happened was I always say no, I'm going to know what I'm going to propose. And I'm like, oh, that's a challenge.

Speaker 2:It was, I think you were performing on a. I love, love, love the setting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if I make A setting, she would have been suspicious. But yeah, it was always my dream to put my dad in my house. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2:We're always together, we're always together.
Speaker 1:I'm with my family, with my friends. We're working on a tour, a road here and there we're on a tour. My dad is holding my arm. I'm walking backwards. I'm like hey, look at this building over here, look at this building. What do you think about it? Listen, exactly.
Speaker 2:Can you chill?
Speaker 1:but afterwards she really has to tell her perspective 100%. But she was, she did not know. I was just looking at it she was ugly crying like really, because she was, she did not know, I was just looking at it. She was ugly crying like really, because she was on the floor like sitting down, there we go.
Speaker 3:Yes, there we go serious.
Speaker 1:She did not see it coming, but that's what made it so, so beautiful. That's the point. And then después, the actual marriage, the actual wedding al final. No estaba tan seguro, no se que era así. Pero life pretty much. And now actual marriage, the actual wedding at the end is with us. I don't know what else to say, but life pretty much. And now you'll be a god again, walking comfortably with a god. I see that you guys have entrepreneurship in your future. You're gonna have babies and marriage is coming soon, and that's what sparked us. When you really want to get married. We're not financially ready to do it. Honestly, I really want to get married to you. I don't know how we're gonna do it. I don't know, but I know I want it to be done. It doesn't have to be the traditional way of everybody else don't know, but I know I want it to be done.
Speaker 2:It doesn't have to be the traditional way of everybody else.
Speaker 1:I don't do anything traditionally. That's the number one thing you should know about me. I don't do anything traditionally. We have to do a few things different. We have to make it happen in our own way. We didn't know where the money was going to come from. That's one thing. That's my one key thing for me to hold on to in life. Whatever you put your faith into, that's what's gonna.
Speaker 2:That's what's gonna work.
Speaker 1:That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it. Another benefit you there's. Why do it? So it's a possibility prepare for whatever and say it's gonna be okay. Just have faith in the positive. And, honestly, I don't know how everything fell into place.
Speaker 2:Everything just fell into place that's the name of the game.
Speaker 3:It's faith baby let's go this has been an interesting conversation. I really enjoyed this conversation.
Speaker 2:I wonder if he's going to be able to just like talk. I was like, listen, it's Kev, I don't know if it's been there.
Speaker 3:I guess it's been there. They're not storytellers, they're not, they're just. Can I ask you a question? What's up? What's up, okay.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:I'm going to say the same word. I'm going to say the same word. I want to banter back and forward. Normally, I talk a lot more. Some episodes I just sit back like this I'm just watching. I'm learning. Honestly, I'm learning more. Sorry, grandma, but I really fuck with you like legit, like legit. I think that she would appreciate you know what I fuck with him too. Yeah, sad, though sad, I fuck with him nah man super nice man is there anything else you want to add? Because you got anything you want to add.
Speaker 1:No, I mean. One thing I really want to add is I got to give you guys your flowers. Thanks, man, I love what you guys do I love the level of professionalism that you bring into the podcast the way you talk. The no filter thing is it? A lot of times we live with a filter because we think we have to think with it.
Speaker 1:But I swear if you can just be yourself and talk to people. Be vulnerable, talk to people and talk to people Because you're like this, you're good, you relate, because you're being yourself, you're being your genuine self. These guys To create a platform For you to be here. Props to you guys.
Speaker 2:Thank you. Thank you, we appreciate it.
Speaker 3:And we always say like and I was telling this to Sizzle yesterday, we were talking afterwards and we didn't get to see the interview. It is a conversation like we didn't get to see the interview and we were like, hey, this is a podcast and the truth is I had no questions for you, bro.
Speaker 3:I mean, you see, whatever you say, I'm going to reply back. I don't have follow up questions. So the beauty of a filter with 80%, 90% of the conversation fully improvised in the moment when you say that we're going to probably have the most serious conversation with our next guest, who is Anushka Kova, like you know, the CEO of Chata oh so she's like a very serious woman. That's the expectation I'm having, but we might have a whole different person.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait. I had this question for you guys, but I want me to go for it like um just cut me off. Nobody um, um and so like but I love again the way of not interviewing, talking to people, of giving them the space to talk. They don't give a side of themselves like I love. Exactly that was very interesting to see that was actually the point of it all.
Speaker 2:At the end of the day, it's not the same. It's not the same.
Speaker 3:It's not the same it's not the same as us.
Speaker 2:You're going to be more or less like us. You're going to be looking for a job and we, as a people, are going to give you a job. If you have a job, you have a salary and you're going to work for me to make sure my life is as easy as possible.
