SPEAKER_05 0:12

So we're gonna play one more song and then we're gonna we're gonna go into the interview. So hey, how are you doing today? So I'm gonna do an intro for you.

SPEAKER_04 2:33

Then we're just gonna just talk about some things and then I'll just let you have the floor and uh work from it. So check this out. This is A D coming from Indy Hart and Push Your Independent Radio. You're tapped in now to where we're about to bring you a interview with a dope artist. We're doing real conversations and nothing but the vibes. Tonight we're stepping into a whole different universe. We got an artist who just isn't making music. He's creating a feeling, a mood, a whole experience. Southern born and raised, but her style global, her energy divine, and her presence are matched. She's a singer, a writer, a whole frequency by herself. Make sure you stay it right. Bolly. I want y'all to give it up for her as she comes on today, and we're just gonna just talk to her, get to know her a little bit more. So, how are you doing this evening?

SPEAKER_00 3:32

How are you?

SPEAKER_05 3:33

I'm doing real good. Can't complain.

SPEAKER_00 3:35

Good. Complain if you do anything.

SPEAKER_04 3:38

Sure won't. Question Do you hear any uh echo on your side?

SPEAKER_00 3:44

No.

SPEAKER_05 3:44

Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

I did that time.

SPEAKER_05 3:47

You did that time. Okay. So what I'm gonna do is just mute myself when I gotta when you gotta talk then.

unknown 3:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

So we're gonna just start off at. First off, for those that's tapping in, you know, we just want to know who Belly is in your own words.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

Bali is a vibe. Bali is a real person. Bali is a mother. Bali is a wife. Bali is a friend. And Bali is someone you can relate to.

SPEAKER_04 4:20

Alright. So what we're gonna do is so you're southern born and raised.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

Born and raised.

SPEAKER_05 4:27

So how is this how has this the South shaped you the most?

SPEAKER_00 4:33

I think from the way that I was raised, I was raised Pentecostal. So when I finally came into the world, it was a whole different experience for me. So just from the food to the people to the music, the music here is just very different. Like the blues is just the blues is everything. Gospel music to blues, it just shapes you. So any music that comes after that, it had to derive from that.

SPEAKER_04 5:04

So with that being said, when did you realize your voice wasn't just a talent, but it was it was powerful?

SPEAKER_00 5:12

I was about 10. And I was in church, and I just realized that maybe I had something. And then I heard Whitney Houston. And you know, growing up, I I listened to majority church music, and so when I heard RB music, I was instantly hooked. So I started singing, and I was singing to myself because that wasn't allowed. And uh it kind of took off from there. So I secretly done it for a while, and then I just got into it and I just I just kept going.

SPEAKER_04 5:52

Okay. So with you being in the church and going to the secular side, how how did the I guess your family perceive that going forward?

SPEAKER_00 6:04

That wasn't a good thing, that wasn't a good thing, but I believe that you have spirituality and you have religion. You have to choose. And I chose the spiritual side, and I'm very spiritual. So when I started singing secular music, it was it was it was very natural for me. Um I'm not into too big on sending the N-word or stuff like that. So I want my music to to mean something and feel something. So when I went into secular music, it just kind of it just kind of felt right. It just felt right for me.

SPEAKER_04 6:46

So uh with you being in the church, who who would you say that would have been your inspiration at that time to be to start singing?

SPEAKER_00 6:55

Kierra Shear. Yeah, she was it. She was young. I could relate to her, her voice was amazing, and I'm just kind of stuck on her, Shirley Caesar. I was big on her too. So those two I listened to a lot.

SPEAKER_04 7:12

Okay, you got some you got some heavy hitters there, so I like that. So we're gonna so I have a question. So breaking down your sound in your own words, what does luxury mean in music?

SPEAKER_00 7:29

You know, when you first hear the beginning of a song and the the beat just instantly catches you, words have not even been spoken. Once you hear that that first couple of beats, you're like, okay, this is something. So I feel like the beginning of any song should reel you in. And that's what I try to do with each song that I um that I release. So when I make a song, it just has to feel right. If it feels right for me, I'm good with that because I know it's gonna feel good to somebody else too.

SPEAKER_04 8:01

So, out of all the songs that you made, what what would be your favorite one that you've done and why?

SPEAKER_00 8:09

My favorite one after you left. After you left, you know, a lot of times uh you you know you you you did wrong to someone, and instead of just fessing up to it, you let them walk away. And you could have walked uh let someone walk away, that was the best thing in your life. Right. But you know, a lot of times you just your ego just doesn't allow you to to be that person and say, hey, I effed up.

SPEAKER_02 8:43

Right.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

So for me, that that's the song, because you don't realize sometimes till after they have left that, man, I lost something good, and they ain't coming back.

SPEAKER_05 8:53

Right.

SPEAKER_04 8:55

So let me see here. So uh that that's that's perfectly said. I've I've been listening to a a lot of your songs. You have some you have some good music out here. Uh, I'd like to ask you about the title after zero. Where did where did the title, where did the inspiration for the title come from?

SPEAKER_00 9:14

So I I've been through a lot of my life. So I believe so bali is like when you have come from emptiness and you found happiness. So the zero with the slash, it just means that there's no ending. As far as numbers, there's no ending, it just continues to go. Time. So you think, oh my God, I only have a little bit of time to do this. You have a lot of time. And time means different things to other people, to everyone. So, but I believe that um you can come from a bad place, end up in a wonderful place with time.

SPEAKER_04 9:57

I like I like that being said, uh, because a lot of people they're going, they're going through a lot right now. And sometimes we need the courage and music out here that can tell people, hey, even though I'm going through, you can still make it. You ain't you're not alone. And it gives people the encouragement to know that despite the the trials and the tribulations, you can still be an overcomer. So uh I hope that when people listen to your your music, they they feel that. I hope so. And when people listen to you, what do you want them to feel in in their body when they when they listen to your music?

SPEAKER_00 10:33

Damn it, I went through the same thing. I want everybody to listen and be like in every song, I want them someone to be able to relate and be like, you know what? I know what you're talking about. I went through that too. And and that's what it's all about. Because I believe that if you can tell a good story, you can write a dope ass song.

SPEAKER_04 10:52

Right. And it is a lot of a lot of people have done it. So, you know, because you I see that like what you're doing now, looking at your project, is you know, you're doing good things. I'm glad that uh we got a a chance to hear your music. What do you plan on accomplishing from putting out your music? Are you are you trying to like win awards? Are you trying to like help people, or you just want to be just inspiration when people see you like, yeah, that one of those songs just really helped me?

SPEAKER_00 11:26

I believe I want to be an inspiration. Um I I think winning an award is that's great. That that's wonderful, but that's not my goal. Everyone's idea of success is different. I believe if I can reach 10 people, I I did something. As long as I can release real good music, I'm happy with that. Whatever comes from that, we do it.

SPEAKER_04 11:54

All right. And and would you would you saying that do you ever feel like that you get a point that you get discouraged? Because I know like being an indie artist sometimes is tough. And you know, even though people that might go on go on the page and you know, when you're putting out music, a lot of people might not support like you really want. Is that a discouragement or is that mainly a thing of like I'm just gonna keep on grinding despite everybody else?

SPEAKER_00 12:20

I wouldn't say discouraging, but when you when you write a song and you put your heart into it and you release that song, and you're thinking, oh, this is gonna feel it, this is gonna feel it, you get and you get 200 views or 200 streams, it's like, what the hell? But you know, that's life. Everybody's not gonna like that song. Everybody's not gonna feel what you felt in that song, but that's okay because they may feel the next one. So as long as the the music is good to my soul, I'm happy because I know that when you when you're happy in your soul, you go a long way.

SPEAKER_04 13:01

So when you when you do that, do you create from emotion first or do you or do you create the sound first?

SPEAKER_00 13:09

It depends. Sometimes it's the sound first, sometimes it's emotion. Um, I think the last couple of songs that I've written were emotion. When you go through certain things, you you just pull out your pen and your paper and you hear a melody and you just go along with it, and you were about getting the the music later. Record a couple of lyrics on on the recorder and worry about it later. But yeah, sometimes a lot of times the the music, the lyrics come first.

SPEAKER_04 13:46

Okay. All right. So, because I know that you're you are you're just not a singer, but you are a songwriter. So what is your process of how do you write, or or does it does it just come to you, or you know, you know, because I know a lot of people with stuff come to them in those late night hours, and then they they gotta catch it and and put it on on paper. Are you one of those ones that do you journal it, or or does it just be a vibe or something that you just you just channel in your channel in your inside?

SPEAKER_00 14:15

It's just a vibe. Um I could be watching TV and and then I'll see something and then I'll get an idea, and then I'm thinking, okay, how can that relate to me? I don't think I don't write music just to just to be doing something. So every song, I'm gonna either I'm gonna relate to it. I've been I know somebody that that went through that situation. So everything that I write, that's real stuff. Oh, no, no. So sometimes I just I just get a vibe, and I just I just once I get the first couple of words, it just takes off after that.

SPEAKER_04 14:55

All right. Well, do the songs that you write even on on your EP now, does it come from personal experience or imagination?

SPEAKER_00 15:04

No, it's personal experience.

SPEAKER_05 15:06

Okay what is the most vulnerable thing that you've ever written?

SPEAKER_00 15:15

The most vulnerable thing I think the most vulnerable thing that I've written was Perfect Storm. I don't know if you've heard this song, but it's about domestic violence. And a lot of women have dealt with domestic violence. Maybe they didn't say anything, they secretly or silently dealt with that on their own, but yeah, that that song was the most that that that was a song that did it for me because I didn't tell anyone. I just kind of worked through it and how much I got out of it. So that song right there, letting people know that I went through something like that. Yeah, that's kind of in my business.

SPEAKER_04 16:12

So uh when people like let's say people didn't know, but they know now.

SPEAKER_05 16:17

That's are you a are you an advocate? Or I am an advocate. Okay. All right. So if you've been an advocate, uh just just do you have any any ways that like you know other people can you know be a part?

SPEAKER_00 16:33

I don't at the moment.

SPEAKER_05 16:35

Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_00 16:37

I do make sure that if I know of an event or some something that uh was going on with work, I can speak that I I'm down with that.

unknown 16:48

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_04 16:49

Oh well, I'm glad that um you were able to tell your story because a lot of people are not not comfortable with with letting people know things that they've been through. But like like saying before, it's good that you know that people can listen to your music and and feel what you feel and probably be like, hey, you know, deep dive, deep dive your thoughts a little bit and be like, hey, I I went through some of the same things that she went through. So if she's out here doing it, then you know, I can do it. With that being said, have like any like supporters ever walked up to you and just said that your music was expiring and and and heal something in me.

SPEAKER_00 17:28

I have. Um some one of uh my friends had gone through something. And uh she heard a song, and that song made her cry. Um because she went through something also that she hadn't told anyone. And a lot of times you hold things in and thinking no one's gonna be able to relate to you or no one's gonna listen to you, but I guarantee you they will. You just gotta find the right person.

SPEAKER_04 18:05

So I definitely I definitely agree with that because sometimes you can you can tell people stuff that that shouldn't be told and then it it it it sparred out of control. So for somebody to to have that trust in you, that's something that's also a miraculous thing. Because people will tap into your uh absolutely, they they they definitely will. So how do you tap into that divine feminine energy when you're creating?

SPEAKER_00 18:32

You want me to be honest?

unknown 18:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 18:36

I have a good old epic.

SPEAKER_05 18:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:46

And I'm just kind of chill and laxed, and nothing's really bothering me. I'm not worried about anything, I'm kind of in my zone, and I just and when I'm that way, even with a glass of wine, it just takes me there. And I'm just chilling. It's been times where I've written two or three songs in a night. And then it's been days where I have nothing, but that happens. But yeah, I just get in a quiet place. I like to listen to different sounds, waves, frequencies, and I just chill.

SPEAKER_04 19:30

Well, that's good. Shout out to the to the eddies, you know what I'm saying? They keep you calm and all that. Ain't nothing wrong with that, you know. Uh, even even sometimes doing these doing these interviews, sometimes I I protect it as well, you know. So keep keep you calm, keep you mellow, and keep you on track. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

Outside of that, that's it, though. Nothing else out of that.

SPEAKER_04 19:50

Right, nothing, nothing else, nothing to that. You know, I don't I don't condone that on on this on this podcast. So, but if you need something to mellow, you uh, you know, do it the right way. So when you're in the studio, are you in control or are you letting something hierarchy?

SPEAKER_00 20:08

Something hierarchy me. Definitely I just kind of do what I feel and however you cute, even with mistakes, I just let it be. And yeah, I don't I don't go in trying to perfect anything. So sometimes it's not perfect, and that's okay. But I don't believe in perfection because nothing's perfect. So someone's going to acknowledge a great mistake.

SPEAKER_05 20:47

So so since you so and when you're at that point, like do you worry about making a mistake, or do you just like you learn from it and then just move on?

SPEAKER_00 20:58

I just learned from the movement. We're gonna make mistakes the day you die.

SPEAKER_05 21:02

Right, right.

SPEAKER_00 21:03

We we we're just gonna keep making mistakes, we're gonna keep living. Life is gonna keep living. So you just gotta take the key moving because today might be bad, tomorrow might be great. You just don't know, but if you don't get up, you'll never know.

SPEAKER_04 21:20

Right. So uh the name Bali feels attentional like a whole universe by talking to you.

SPEAKER_05 21:29

So, what does the name represent to you?

SPEAKER_00 21:33

Bali means everything, and I mean that in a good way. I believe I am everything. I have God inside me, I have a beautiful soul, I have a beautiful spirit, I have talent, I have a voice, and I have a sound mind. I am everything.

SPEAKER_05 21:57

So um with you saying that.

SPEAKER_04 22:00

And I and I love the confidence that you have. What advice would you give a indie artist that's trying to get started in the game, deal with adversity, and you know what would you tell them?

SPEAKER_00 22:13

Just do it. And don't worry about or like it. I think a lot of times we're worried about whether someone is gonna like it. Is it gonna sound too different? In the music industry, a lot of things sound alike. And people get put into that box and they think, well, this isn't gonna work. No one's gonna, no one's gonna listen to this. You can't be worried about that. So if you just do what you love and it sounds good to you, and it does something to your spirit, go with it. And don't worry about if someone is gonna like it. Maybe they won't, but then again, there are two people to do. So just just do what you love, continue doing it, don't give up. And there's no age requirement. Let's just be honest. I turn 50 next month. I feel good. I feel good. Every move that I have made in life, mistakes and all, I feel good.

SPEAKER_04 23:20

Well, I was shocked because I didn't I didn't I didn't think you was you was 50, but you look you look look good for your age. I I and just listen to what you said is is something that you know artists need to hear. Do you feel like that you are a mentor for the for the for the upcoming artists, or do you just feel like them learning from what you're doing can be more vital?

SPEAKER_00 23:48

I I don't think I'm a mentor. I love to be having someone looks at me and think, you know, well, she did it this way, she started in her bedroom. I feel like I have a lot to offer as far as advice to people. And I'm always open to speak to anyone. Um the music is always gonna change, the industry is always gonna change, but that don't mean you have to.

SPEAKER_05 24:20

I agree. I agree 100% with that. Just like, you know, you're doing it the right way.

SPEAKER_04 24:25

You have uh your your manager team with you that's also helping you make those right decisions. Guess my question after you put out this EP, were there points of the EP that you were that y'all bumped heads and was like, I don't know about this, or let's not add this, add this, or let's change change change the song or anything like that.

SPEAKER_00 24:48

Yeah, and it goes back to lovability. One of the songs that was released on the EP was Perfect Storm because I was like, what are people gonna think when the song comes out? How are people gonna react to it? So I didn't I didn't necessarily I wasn't necessarily ready to release this song. I I I created that song for me, and it was heard, and I was convinced to release it because it's gone.

SPEAKER_04 25:26

So uh I know uh after listening to the EP, I I like stepping out. So uh where where did your uh inspiration for stepping out come up?

SPEAKER_00 25:40

Um that's my least favorite song. It is that's my least favorite song. So when I created the song, I was like, you know what? It's a bop, it's a bop. Um then I let some people hear it. I was like, I like it, it's dope, it's dope. So it was released, but that song was not supposed to be released, it was not supposed to be released at all. Because again, I'm not a dancer, that's it's not that's not not my thing, but when I create the song, I feel like somebody else could dance to it. Somebody else is gonna feel this song, so that's what happened.

SPEAKER_04 26:26

Yeah, well, I like I like that one. You usually it's the one that that that artists don't like that that usually be that song. Also, I like Genesis.

SPEAKER_05 26:35

So, what where did your inspiration come for or motivation, as you say, we say, uh, for that song, that track?

SPEAKER_00 26:44

Genesis uh an ex. And I thought about that ex and I was like, oh Lord, let me not write this song. So I think that once the ex hears the song, he's gonna know the song is about him. And um, yeah, so that that song is about an ex. Yeah.

unknown 27:12

Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_00 27:13

Sometimes a lot of times you go in full full speed in the dating game, and you thinking, oh, this is great. And it's all it's all wonderful, and roses in the beginning, but then sometimes the beginning is the very end. You just don't know it yet. So as soon as you get started, it's bad.

SPEAKER_04 27:37

So what you make in that song, and and I know that you're you're you're in the in the space of being married at this point. I guess what what advice that you could give also people that might be in a situation where they're they're scared to fail, or just like wanna want to do want to do it the right way, but have been through adversity.

SPEAKER_00 27:58

What is the right way?

unknown 28:00

I don't I don't I don't even know.

SPEAKER_00 28:01

That's that's what they need to ask themselves. What is it right?

SPEAKER_04 28:04

Right.

SPEAKER_00 28:05

Um you just gotta be positive, have a good uh a good team, some good people behind you that believe in what you do. And if I think as long as you have that, you will you will go far. Stay true to yourself and just do it. Don't worry about making a hit. Don't worry about that. Don't make worry about making the top 100. Just just make good music.

SPEAKER_04 28:35

All right. So I'm gonna so we're gonna talk about what what do you what do you got in the works? What what projects you have coming down the road? Are you performing anywhere so that your your supporters can you know pull up on you?

SPEAKER_00 28:49

I am working and performing in some different places. Hopefully that'll be coming soon. Um, I am working on new music. The new music that I'm working on is different, not too different than what I put out, but it's definitely chio vibe, which is what I am. So the new music that that will be released is relatable also, but it's I would say deeper, deeper spiritual music.

unknown 29:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 29:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 29:23

So with with you with that being said, where did the I guess the momentum come or the inspiration for your new sound that you that you're gonna tap into?

SPEAKER_00 29:36

I think it came from where I am in life at this moment. With the bumps and things that I've I think with the hurdles that I've crossed, I was able to tap into something different and dig deeper into my soul because I don't want just simple lyrics. I want you to have to think when you listen to the lyrics, and the lyrics are gonna mean something different to each person. But the new music is the you just wait, you're gonna love it. I promise you're gonna love it.

SPEAKER_04 30:17

I I love what you got on now. So I know you're coming with with some with some big hits. So um, so would you with that being said, you know, you you're working on a lot of stuff, you know. Pretty much what makes you different? So just walking out here in the street, and nobody had heard you before, and it was like, hey, what makes you different from anybody else? What would you tell them?

SPEAKER_00 30:42

My total sound is different. I take you back closer to the 90s where people had a story to tell. You're gonna get a la la la and a ooh-ooh baby. That's that's a good thing for me. Right. So I think that's different from what is out today. And it could have something to do with my age too. I like real music. And and that's what I that's what I'm trying to bring, real music back.

SPEAKER_04 31:10

Okay. And that's a good thing, because we we need we need some some some more of that good old old-fashioned music. Um I hear a lot of a lot of covers now, and I'm like, I love the covers, but you know, I want to hear that that that feel, you know, that hey baby, baby, coming here, you know, you know, make it feel like, hey, you, you, you interested, or you know, like, you know, the the the new music now is like everything is so fast, so quick, like, hey, I need a number. You know, this is what's gonna happen. You know, back then it was let me get the number, let me get to know you, I'm gonna court you, you know, I'm gonna take you over mama and all that. So, you know, they don't they don't do that no more, but you know, I'm looking forward to what you have coming out. So I don't I don't like to use this, but like where do you see yourself at in the next like four months?

SPEAKER_00 32:03

Next four months, I will be performing in a lot of places. I see myself performing in a lot of different places, and I am very ready for that. I'm I am ready to show my face, and you know, people ask them who are you? What do you look like? Well, you know, I feel like if you focus on the music and not worry about what I look like, then that'll be good. Because you're not concerned about who I am, you're concerned about what the music is doing for you. So that's where I am. Four months from now, I'm gonna be writing for somebody else. I believe that.

SPEAKER_04 32:47

So we're gonna go back uh because even though like you and what you just said was good because a lot of people they look at their parents and you ask them, hey, what what song do you like? Like, I don't, I don't, I don't even know. And and that was one of the questions that like I wanted to ask, like what you answered already with not with not having your face seen. Is that something that is is something that when you guys drummed up to just concentrate on the music?

SPEAKER_05 33:15

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_04 33:18

So and even doing it like the way you're doing it is it's real big because a lot of people looks like you you guys are thinking outside the box. Because a lot of people will probably say, watch it, watch you got a face cover, you know, like, you know, this is you know, it's crazy in so many words. But like listening to your music, you know, I don't really, you know, I'm I'm one person like I listen to the music, sounds good to me. That's cool, you know, no matter what you see, because it's it's it's people out here who look like whatever. And you know, they're not putting out the music, but they're getting people to show up at shows and they're expecting, you know, you to do do the same thing that you're doing on these on these on these songs, but like people who do it that way is it's smart. So I want to shout out to your your your your uh liquid music group. I want to shout out to them for how y'all are are moving, because that that's after after talking to you about it, that's that's smart and I and I like how that that that you're moving. Is this something that you're gonna like with going forward out performing and all your other music is or is this just for something temporary at this point?

SPEAKER_00 34:28

It's just temporary. I believe like when when I first started out, you have society will make you feel crappy about yourself. Who cares if you're overweight? Who cares if you're skinny? Who cares if you are missing the two? Who who cares about those things? Every shape, every size has a talent. And that's what people should be focused on. So to look at someone to judge someone based off of their look and not the talent, man, that's that's some trash.

SPEAKER_05 35:07

I I I definitely agree because I I know of uh even uh Liza, um amazing talent, but you know, because of what she used to look like to where she's at now, body, body shaman and and even Nellie Fertardo.

SPEAKER_04 35:23

Um, you know, she was, you know, she put on weight, but she's still amazing artist. But you know, people laugh, oh she's this, she's that, but she she's out here, she's doing her own thing. And one thing I like from what she said was, I don't care what nobody thinks, I'm gonna I'm gonna keep doing me. You need to make me how I am, or or what, but I'm still gonna keep doing what I'm what I'm what I'm gonna do. Um so I um after you after you explain that, I like how how that how that sounds.

SPEAKER_05 35:54

Are you building a sound or a movement?

SPEAKER_00 35:59

Both. I'm I'm doing both. Um I'm gonna stay fixed in my sound, and I know my sound is different, and I'm not gonna change allow anyone to have me to alter that sound because that's who I am, and that's what makes the music myself, who I am, that's what makes the music. If I change the music, then that's not true to me. That's doing what someone else wants me to do, and I'm not gonna be put in that box where, oh, I love what I do, but let's tweak this, let's do this, and next thing you know, your music doesn't even sound the same anymore. That's no longer your music, and I don't want that.

SPEAKER_04 36:43

And I and I and so do you think that that's the reason that mainstream artists is are going independent now because they they they want to do it their way?

SPEAKER_00 36:54

I think so. I think so. Because let's just be honest, the the the music industry, they're about making money. And whatever you have to do, where you have to get naked, lose weight. Whatever you have to do, that's what they're about. That's what that's what they're gonna ask you to do because they need that money, they need you to make sales. So when you're independent, you can kind of do your own thing. You can go at a slow pace, you can release music when you want to, and and and be comfortable. So I think a lot of artists are doing their own thing now to be comfortable, right? To have more control.

unknown 37:34

Right.

SPEAKER_04 37:35

So uh sorry. So going forward, so what does the success look looks like for you going forward in the in the short term and the long term?

SPEAKER_03 37:45

Say that one more time.

SPEAKER_04 37:46

What does success look like for you going forward in the short term, short term and long term?

SPEAKER_00 37:54

Short term and I think short term, I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing, and um long term, definitely song writing. I want to do that to for the rest of my life. Okay, I want to sing till I can't sing anymore. That's my passion.

SPEAKER_04 38:18

Okay. So what is something in it what's something the industry isn't ready for?

SPEAKER_05 38:27

But you'll be bringing it anyway.

SPEAKER_00 38:30

A different sound. I listen to everyone's music. Mine sounds like no one else's. I'm proud of that. Um real life issue. And I think real life issues is what we need. Um, we can we can like pop some look huge at the end of the day. Which which what are you gonna remember? You remember the little hook. That's great. But what did the song do for you to hit Cassidy? And that's what I'm trying to do, is give them message.

SPEAKER_04 39:18

Alright. So we're gonna we're gonna hit you with some some rapid fire questions.

SPEAKER_05 39:24

Love or power.

SPEAKER_00 39:28

Say that one more time.

SPEAKER_05 39:29

Love or power. Love.

SPEAKER_00 39:40

You can't without it. Love can take you from a dark place. And you can have power. You can have money, but if you don't have love, the money is the power don't mean that.

SPEAKER_05 39:56

So I'm gonna take the love silence or expression. Expression. Why is you just saying that's what you're doing?

SPEAKER_00 40:06

No one wants to um no one's gonna know what you're thinking or how you feel if you're silent. And people will walk all over you because you chose to be silent. So you have to voice how you feel at all times, regardless of what someone thinks. So say how you feel, don't worry about stepping on people's toes and uh just be honest.

SPEAKER_05 40:34

Alright, uh, studio or stage. Stage.

SPEAKER_00 40:42

Say you can just be free. You don't have to worry about things going a certain way, and you can just kind of uh freestyle.

SPEAKER_05 40:54

Alright. Uh heel or escape.

SPEAKER_00 41:01

You say heal or escape?

SPEAKER_03 41:02

Yes. Escape Escape.

SPEAKER_00 41:09

Oh let's go back to that.

SPEAKER_05 41:15

Which one you want to go back to? He'll heal or escape?

SPEAKER_00 41:17

Hill or escape.

SPEAKER_05 41:22

Alright, which one would you choose?

SPEAKER_00 41:27

I'm gonna say escape. Sometimes escape is good. So I was just saying to you, I don't know if this is that, but I was just saying to someone I just want to run and hide and go into an abandoned island. Nobody nobody knows me, and I just disappear. And sometimes you feel really feel that way. Like between work, home life, and what the world offers, you just want to disappear. So I'm gonna say escape, definitely.
