Transcript

SPEAKER_17 0:01

Man. Well, I'm I'm I'm a uh I'm a little bit of an anomaly. I left, you know, had an amazing career.

SPEAKER_12 0:10

Right.

SPEAKER_17 0:10

Um left the business for 18 years, um came back into the business, um, you know, doing reality TV producing. And um every time I would go to a production meeting, the the uh producers would always ask, What are you doing, Karen White? And I just kept trying to like downplay myself because I just uh I felt like I've had my time. I've had my time.

SPEAKER_03 0:37

Right.

SPEAKER_17 0:37

But um uh I was inspired by uh my manager at the time, Jay King, who is uh the first producer and uh to sell three uh million independently out of the trunk of his car, Jay King. Okay, okay. The club Nouveau and Time at Social Club.

SPEAKER_04 0:57

Yeah, that makes sense. Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_17 0:58

So he had a little blog talk radio show. Okay, and that's why I love technology and where we are, because I was able to hear him and he really inspired me to pick up my dream again and um and really make me see that it was really um resistance and and fear for the reason of me not, you know, wanting to come back, even though I kept making up excuses. My daughter's about to go to Howard, my daughter's in college, my daughter's in high school. Yeah. So um I ran out of excuses to do it. And then and um, but in the meantime, I'm I'm really glad because when I walked away from the business, I really that's all I knew. Right. And I knew it on a high level, you know, dealing with the LA's, the babyface, the clearance abox, the Jamie Jam, the Terry Lewis, the Benny Medina, the Larkin Arms.

SPEAKER_12 1:47

Right.

SPEAKER_17 1:47

So I had a real high Don Cornelius, O'Brien. Um, these were some of my um, you know, peers and people that groomed me. So um that's all I knew that I wanted to do. But once um I stepped away, I became a businesswoman. And I really so I'm really proud because a lot of artists kind of don't know how to navigate out of the waters of being, you know, famous. Right, right. And um, so I kind of did, you know, God really kind of just covered me through this period of just growth and you know, and so getting back into the business, I knew that, you know, it had changed, and I was really excited because I had changed. And so for me to, you know, start a, you know, do a film, a feature film with my partner Derek Muhammad, and you know, not use the Hollywood system to, you know, to hire college students, you know, shoot a film, and I just became like super, it was fun again because I didn't have to live up to this big expectation like I did when I was with Warner Brothers, you know, $300,000 videos and you know, everything was so big, it became like who can be the most uh the creative, right? And that's why I loved the playing field. So it was like, oh, I like this. And so I got back in independently, put out a record, and um uh EMI picked it up. I did uh was did pretty well for you know, just being on my label and just card Carpe Dam. Um and um so got back into the business and um started touring, and that was where I found out that I had a love affair with you know a country I'd never been to, this country called South Africa.

SPEAKER_04 3:36

Interesting, very interesting.

SPEAKER_17 3:37

Wow, yeah, oh yeah, very interesting. I went to South Africa for the first time because of apartheid, so you know, I went there five years ago, no, yeah, maybe five years ago, and they just treated me like I was a Whitney Houston, and to them I was.

SPEAKER_11 3:50

Right.

SPEAKER_17 3:51

Um, so I just had this huge fan base over there, and it really it just uh you know just touched me in such a way, and it just showed me that, you know, how music really is timeless, yeah and it, you know, it is stretched across the waters, you know, all these people affected, you know, coming to me crying about relationships and just kind of you know what I did for them, and it just really made me see like, man, I was a little selfish in me leaving, you know. I mean, I didn't really because you know, you know how it is in the in in our with our people, we're very talented, and that's our national currency, I think, our talent and being, you know, with sports and entertainment. So we're on to the next. You know, but I realize that, you know, certain people don't forget you, and that um that has carried me through, you know, financially as well as you know, going and touring outside of the country and Europe and in also Japan. So kind of like what Tina Turner did. So I've had a interesting life because you know, I gave, you know, have I've been coming back to the States and people were starting to kind of know that I'm back, but overseas I've had a little bit more success. So that's what that's a little bit of my story.

SPEAKER_04 5:09

Right, right. No, and and I think that that's I think that that's beautiful. Interestingly enough, I literally just finished watching the Tina Story to the Tina Turner uh doc that you have on HBO uh today, which was of course really interesting. But um another interesting thing was, you know, I worked at the the studio that mastered your records. I used to work for her powers, so all your records used to come there. So we used to see LA all the time and everything from the face and everything uh you know, everything from from Warner Brothers and everything. So um really interesting, really interesting. But um no, I think it's uh I think it's I think you know, as an artist, of course, like when you when you get there, I think there's a place that you get to that once you get there, you get locked in time as being somebody significant, you know, almost as if like if you never put out another record, you're still remembered as that artist. You know what I mean? And and I and I think that that was a level that you hit, you know what I mean? Just because right, the work that you put in. It's like you know, it would be like if Jay never put out another record, he's always cemented in time as being Jay-Z or whatever, whatever he is, that's what he is. Jordan doesn't play basketball anymore, but his sneakers still sell, and he's still oh that's the greatest, you know, he's locked in. Right. You know what I mean? And I and I feel like, you know, with the work that you put in before that that you've locked yourself in. So when somebody says, Bam, Karen White, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07 6:29

Yeah, you know, especially when it comes to relationships. You mentioned that earlier, like that those songs definitely got you through a lot of issues when back in the day when you're dealing with relationships. So I mean I feel like a lot of times listening to those songs like late at night, early in the morning, making dedications, you know what I mean? And it takes me back to a time when actually relationships were definitely had a lot of different meaning than it does today.

SPEAKER_04 6:56

Yeah, yeah. So much. So much. And you know, one of the other things that that that I've that I guess I've just seen throughout the course of time and everything in the industry, um, you know, it's like, you know, when we, you know, what you know, way back when the label would sign, they would say, hey, we want the 360 deal, and we're like, that's crazy. You know, we would think of ourselves as an artist, like I'm a singer, or I'm a rapper, or or I'm this. Right. You know what I mean? And the label's thinking of us as a brand. You know, as a, you know, so so even in the sense if if you weren't doing music, like maybe you weren't doing music, but we can get Karen White action figures. You know what I mean? Or that'll be line. I won't be able to do that. Right, you know, we get that or or you know, maybe we can get like you like like merchandise, or maybe you can get the the Karen White clothing line. You know what I mean? So there's so many other things, you know, that even if you weren't just singing, you know what I mean? There's so many other things that that that that your name touches and stuff like that that I think is beautiful. You you said you were working on some film projects. I want to hear about those.

SPEAKER_17 8:01

Oh yeah. So I did uh the first movie was um Gail, it's called Gail in the Storm, and it's loosely based on my life, and we shot it in Seven Days in Sacramento. And uh it's about a you know, pretty much a singer who, you know, steps away from the business at the height of her career. She hooks up with a revolutionary music producer and he gets her back into the game. So that was pretty much my story along with my manager Jay King at the time.

SPEAKER_11 8:28

Right.

SPEAKER_17 8:28

Um after you do, you know, I studied uh with you know Ivana Chubbick, who's uh Brad Pitt and Halle Berry and Beyonce and a bunch of other famous people would study. I also did a uh uh we had a I had a uh pilot that came on uh centric called Beauty and the Baller, where I played um, I had a major role. I was one of the principals. So that that all happened when I got back into the business. And I realized that, you know, I it's just such a uh, like you said, everything opened up. So before when I was out, you know, it kind of I wasn't, I didn't, you know, we didn't have the advantage of being all of that. It was kind of like we started it, but then it, you know, it became like, you know, the brand, you know, you'd have your, you know, maybe a deal with a coke or whatever, or you know, a Pepsi. Actually, I did a beer commercial. I'm I'm ashamed to say. They shouldn't have let me do that beer commercial right now.

SPEAKER_04 9:28

Yeah, I started drinking beer because I saw you in the beer.

SPEAKER_17 9:32

Yeah, I'm like, what the hell? Look, but I did it, but I did turn down Playboy.

SPEAKER_05 9:38

Okay, okay, okay, I did round of applause. Right.

SPEAKER_17 9:44

That didn't fit my brand. But uh, but as we got uh, you know, as you know, the the the the Beyonces and all of that, that's where, you know, you guys really started the branding, you know what I mean, to where it was every, like you said, the 360, but we didn't have that. So anyway, getting back into I started uh, you know, with acting and then so now um, you know, I also I just realized that I my success wasn't so much that I was just the greatest singer or writer or performer, it was my focus and drive. Right because I realized that I became successful at doing uh real estate flipping homes and interior designing. And so I realized that it didn't matter what I was doing, right? My my drive was the thing that got me there. So um, you know, so I was, you know, just started uh just pretty much, you know, off bar my my new artist supernova who we uh have a yeah, we have a label that we just started. And um it was started because of him. Because um I just yeah, the it wasn't that I just said I want to have a label. You know, of course, uh it's hard in the music business right now. Definitely like you know, uh like my ex-husband says, Terry Lewis, he says, music sells everything except for itself. Right, right in a business like that, it's kind of like, okay, you know, it had to be more than me just uh, you know, just thinking I was gonna come out and put out this music and you know make this big star. I really felt like the times that we were in, it was a shift that happened to me as well as the world. It became, you know, especially as a black woman, as a black person in America, there it was so much injustice and prejudices. And my thing is it's like, are we going to are we gonna just sit back and complain? Or are we gonna separate, do our own thing, have our own, you know, build our own world instead instead of sitting back and complaining that what they're not doing for us or the president or this or that. So it just uh yeah, so um that and uh so anyways, I was on that kind of mindset you know during COVID. Because if you if you weren't you know learning and coming up during COVID, then shame on you because that was that time to you know to build to reflect. Right.

SPEAKER_04 12:09

Excellent time to do it.

unknown 12:10

Perfect.

SPEAKER_17 12:11

Yeah, so um, so I heard uh my my partner Derek Muhammad played a song for me called Young Righteous Brad Girl, really raw in a raw state. Uh and um he just played it, and that, you know, normally you know how nobody likes to kind of for me, it's like you really want to get the authentic, you know, you don't want to say, Do you like this? You know what I mean? So he just played it, and that this is a couple times, and I'd heard it maybe a couple, and I was like, Oh, who is that? You know, but I I felt like um I I it touched me spiritually in a way, like I kind of it reminded me kind of like how I felt as a younger kid when I heard like Earth When the Fire Maurice White, and when he would rap, and just the the you know, the righteous. So he had that. First of all, the music was kind of bluesy, soulful, you know, and then the the uh righteous kind of had a 70s kind of feel, and I was just listening, I'm like, who is this cat? You know what I mean? So knowing that he was young, it was speaking, he was just speaking very different, you know, and I'm very attracted to those type of artists, you know. Right. Even though I'm that myself, if I could do it over again, I would be, you know, Stacy Chatterman or something. I just I just really love quirky artists that are very unique. So um I I was really impressed with uh just uh this just subject matter and and just his delivery and what he was saying was personal. I'm like, and then I found out he's like he's 24, you know, that's my son. I'm like, oh my god. So the I just was like, who is speaking like this? I mean, I love Kendrick, I love J. Cole, I love Earth Gang, these are some of my favorites, Meek Mill, right, you know, uh Wallet, right? And I just uh I was just really impressed. And he said, you know, um, you know, just talking about ancient Kiman and your hair is nappy. I I don't even want to mess with you, you know, and just proud of being black at a time when, you know, they were killing us for being black. So it was just a perfect storm, and I felt like I needed to give, I needed to pour into him, and I just prayed on it, and I believe that I'm supposed to, you know, we're we're together, we're a cute little team because it's like, you know, white, she's not a hip hop artist, you know. So it makes people, it's like interesting, like, huh? But yeah, so I'm I'm really excited about Osbar the Great.

SPEAKER_07 14:40

That's interesting. I have a question for you. Like, now there was a song that you did have um that was rendezvous where you did have a bit of a rap in that song. Oh yeah, yeah. Right? Happiness is when uh I think of you. So, like, did you aspire to be a rap artist or have you thought about doing a project uh in hip hop or rap?

SPEAKER_17 15:05

No, I I never thought about it. Of course, I did have like Secret Rendezvous, Happiness is Win. I had my little round, but uh I also you know I had an opportunity to do something with LL Kujay, which I didn't do, which I regret. I know. I don't know how we did that. Okay. I know exactly you know, if we could I had a lot of those moments, trust me, you guys. It's kind of like sometimes you just get in your own way, you know. Right. I mean, I beat it flight time, you know, with Jimmy and Terry. You have, you know, Johnny Gill Bobby, you know, uh conditioned in one room, you know, I got Stokely on the record. So I got some stuff in the vault that I'm gonna try to get from them. I'm like, I need to pull that stuff out of the vault and release it. But um yeah, so rap, you know, I uh I dated a f a few rappers.

SPEAKER_11 16:04

Right.

SPEAKER_17 16:05

So that was what I did. And so I really it was authentic. It wasn't that I didn't know because you know, I had to know where the rapper, you know what I mean? So uh yeah, so so I was really uh, you know, it didn't work out because I had wanted to, you know, release records with my my boyfriend, but you know, unfortunately it didn't work out. But I was excited to to like I said to to finally meet someone who had it all together, you know, just uh and not trying to fit in, you know, because Osbar really doesn't. You know, I mean he's uh he like I said, he's not he's authentically who he is and uh and it's refreshing. You know, yeah that's the that's the people here and they go like, wow, you know, and just uh just you know his whole swag. It's just it's just a refreshing thing and it's what the culture needs, and I believe that somebody has to, you know, and I don't know many, you know, not many artists, you know, they probably wouldn't have been signed because we know a lot of them, you know, if they're not popping pills and and uh degrading women or you know, uh killing niggas, you know what I mean? It's not really it's it's hard to kind of get on, you know. So you know we're building our little tribe over here, so that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 17:27

Yeah, big big salute out to big saluted to Akbar the Great. You know, it's interesting. I was listening to the track. I'm driving around today, like, okay, let me get over to the fortress. I got the interview coming up. I'm driving around today, and I'm like, Yo, I'm gonna let me put this track on. Let me make sure I have it. Big saluted to Rochelle out there, uh, 92 Dime. But um I said, I said, let me let me make sure, you know, let me put this on. And I put it on, and I remembered, you know, how when we spoke on the on the Heat DJ conference call and how excited you were about about Akbar and how you were talking about the music and everything like that. And I didn't necessarily remember the song from the call, but I listened to the song again while I was driving today, and I'm like, okay, I see why she's excited about it. I mean, first of all, it sounds beautiful. Right. You know what I mean? The song sounds, you know, and that's that's not how you usually would describe rap music, you know what I mean? Right. Um sounds beautiful, you know, just in terms of the way it was put together, the way it was recorded is beautiful. And then uh everything she's saying, I can see why she's saying it in the song. We'll have a song coming up soon. Um but uh I can definitely see yeah, I can see it. Yeah, I can see it. It was like the the song was almost like an awakening.

SPEAKER_02 18:36

Right.

SPEAKER_04 18:37

That's almost what it was like, you know what I mean? Um it's like when you listen to it, it was like food.

SPEAKER_07 18:44

Yeah, like a song. It was like food, the track was like food.

SPEAKER_04 18:47

So big suit out to him. I think I I can see how how that would be a good choice and stuff like that. And even in terms of like seeing so many things, you know, you know what's interesting, um, Karen? It's like I used to work at a studio, and of course we have people coming in every single day. Every day, you know what I mean? So, like there was a lot of times where I never took pictures, and I still have a habit, I I've maybe broken out of it a little bit, but I have a habit of not taking pictures because it it was so regular of life that it's like, okay, well, I just saw Puffy today. Like, why am I gonna take a picture? Right. Because, like, you I'm probably gonna tomorrow. Yeah, we're still working on this project. Yeah, you know, or like Mace came in. Oh, okay, well, hey, what up? Like, no sense to even spend time heavily introducing myself because I'm working at the places they come to every day. Right. You know what I'm saying? For years. So it's it's interesting because I forgot that that you and uh Terry Terry Lewis were together. You know what I mean? But I mean if we were Terry Lewis at the time, like that's the top of the music industry. Right. You know what I mean? Like it didn't in terms of producers, like for at that time especially. Right, for urban music, it didn't get better. Yeah, it just it didn't get any better. Like that's that's where it was at. So if you see this every day, when when when you know, rap or whoever it is at the time, you know what I mean, because rap hadn't hit, you know, where it hit hit till after the period. You know what I mean? So if you're getting out, if you see that every day, it's just like oh, well, I'll just call them tomorrow. Yeah, I'll just call them tomorrow. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07 20:16

Like you don't want to fan out. Yeah, straight.

SPEAKER_04 20:18

Oh, there'll be another project tomorrow, so there's no you know I don't have to jump on and do it, you know what I'm saying? So so that's what it is, you know. I mean I mean your husband's working on Michael Jackson stuff, you know what I'm saying? It's like crazy. Yeah, so what a time of music. What do you say? Yeah. I love that time of music. Completely understand.

SPEAKER_07 20:35

I want to go back a little bit too, like you want to go back to Superwoman time because that song so epic, so I mean, it just made such a difference, I feel like, because there's a lot of women, especially in my time, like my mom was going through something where it's like an abusive time to where it's where it is an awakening, like, okay, you don't have to go through all of this, or you don't have to handle all of these things. And um, I feel like that song was just so perfect for that time. You know what I mean? And it really helped change a lot of women's lives. Right. And so, um, do you get a lot of still a great response from that song as well?

SPEAKER_17 21:14

Oh yeah. Yeah, that's uh right, that's it. No, that's a beautiful thing. I mean, it it really is, and you know, and shout out to you know, the incredible LA Reed Baby Face and Daryl Simmons because you know, for them to even write a song like that, it just shows you how Face was really in the zone, you know, some of those songs that he you know, and then he just kept on, you know, he kept on writing and writing and writing, and it's just like wow, you know, just being associated at the beginning of their careers. Um such a magical, it was a fun time. Right. Um, of us, you know, um just you know, getting it and and them and them really, you know, us trying Trying to beat, you know, a Jim and a Lewis and a Janet, even though it's ma'am, we don't, you know, we don't do it like this, and we don't come on like this. And it's so funny, you know. Um, you know, that I would wind up, you know, marrying, you know, as a society of funny. It was such a respect. Yeah. Let me tell you guys, it was such a, you know, during that time, I also worked with Prince and I came to Minnesota essentially first. That's how I met Terry to work with Prince, which was incredible, you know. And just that you'll hear that influence and you know, all of our, you know, from faith to you know, me to time, all of us, you know, and to learn, you know, my band played with Prince. And we had such a work ethic, you know, which really derived from, you know, between Prince and Michael, you know, that's that's kind of we grew up in so you know, you know, that work ethic we knew how to be, you know, you would host, you know, at least twelve hours a day, right? You don't perform, you know, the tracks, you know, it's just really loud musicians being an entertainer, not just a singer.

SPEAKER_11 23:18

Right.

SPEAKER_17 23:18

Because we grew up in the video area, you had to be entertaining, okay. You can you can sing, but now are you an entertainer? So it's uh it was such a like I said, a very magical time and and um kind of being, you know, the first kind of Jay and Beyonce along with I would have to say, well, making cables in LA too. Yeah, so yeah, we had um, you know, we it was just uh it was, you know, Clarence Avon, uh, you know, the godfather. Have you guys seen uh you guys know who I'm talking about? He's had a bathroom. Yeah, that's my daughter's uh daughter's uh grandfather, and uh being around just great. So I've had um it's not people that know me personally would go, oh, it only makes sense for you to be with a label. You you didn't have the best. You should have learned from all these people. Shame on you if you did. And I'm definitely not the one who's I'm not the wife that don't trust me, I'm in there running. Yeah, learning. Learning though, you know. So um it's it's it's I'm excited about our time at Supernova right now and what we're gonna do with the artist, and like I said, we're just a little indie labeled, but um we you know a lot of people are you know really excited about what we're doing, and um we really just want to find our tribe. So you guys please look out for us and uh check out you know I'm far the great and uh and Karen White and Supernova, go sign up and and uh we're just excited to be, you know, being a uh such a having such a contribution and a time to hip hop right now because I believe it needs it.
