Android.

00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,360
There you go, It's OK.
As long as we got you here now,

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,040
that's all that matters.
We were talking football, so

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,960

now that you're with us.

00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440

Sunday with the Texan?

a delay.

38
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,640
We usually don't have delays,
but it is what it is.

39
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,720
So tell, tell our tell our
listeners of 28 countries who

00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,560
you are and and what you're all
about.

41
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,880
Well, hello 28 countries.
My name is Daniel Renee.

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:36,120
I I reside from a little country
town called Arcola, Texas and

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,960
right outside of Houston.
I am an international trainer,

44
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,800
performer, singer.
I've been around the world 8

45
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Times Now.
Wow, no.

46
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,440
Kidding 8 times.
Yeah, yeah, pretty much.

47
00:02:53,520 --> 00:03:01,400
Yeah.
Word a lot Chinese finger reggae

48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:09,520
artist my my myself.
I was I did a lot of residencies

49
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,840
in Asia.
Yeah, that that pretty.

50
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,720
Much so kind of like a residency
in Vegas.

51
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,880
Well, if I did do a residency in
Vegas, I was working on one, but

52
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,120
it never pulled through.
I was going to do Donna Summers

53
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,920
and Natalie Cole and it didn't
come through.

54
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,240
But I've done like about 6 shows
there in Vegas now within the

55
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440
last.
No, What, what, what, what,

56
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,160
what, what I was, what I was
asking to kind of make people

57
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,400
understand a residency, a
residency in Asia is kind of

58
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,920
like a residency in Vegas.
So you you pick one spot and you

59
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,840
had X amount of shows there.
Yes, that's correct.

60
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,840
That's correct.
And mostly Thailand, Japan,

61
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,680
Taiwan, Hong Kong, Shanghai,
Beijing, Those are things like

62
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,360
top hotels, yeah.
Nice.

63
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,720
So, so how, how is the response
for, for you going to those,

64
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,440
those countries, 'cause I know a
lot of the countries used to be,

65
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,080
you know, behind where we were
at in the United States

66
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,279
musically until the Internet
exploded and opened everything,

67
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,839
opened everything up, right?
So are you, are you getting

68
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,720
real, a real embrace from those
crowds in those countries?

69
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,840
Oh yes, of course.
Like in I first left America in

70
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:36,840
96 and I went to Japan and I was
just phased at how they knew the

71
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:42,320
lyrics better than I did and
they would always, always

72
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,080
correct me.
But they didn't speak English

73
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,680
and I I just found it
fascinating.

74
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:53,040
So it made me have to study
harder because they really

75
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,560
didn't know all spirit citizens.
Wow, that's amazing.

76
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,720
Yeah, it really was.
It really was.

77
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:07,920
Great country, great country.
Any questions, Mike?

78
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,800
Now I'm looking at these.
Your photography is amazing

79
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,120
here.
I'm just checking out your

80
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,040
website as he's scrolling
through here.

81
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,760
This is really cool.
Thank you.

82
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,000
You have to update I.
Have are you based in the United

83
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,320
States and then you tour out of
here or do you live outside the

84
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,480
United States permanently now?
Well, no honey, I used to live

85
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,760
outside of the states, but
unfortunately COVID well I

86
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,080
shouldn't say unfortunately
because it it was it brought me

87
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,800
home COVID.
I came home me and my brother

88
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,200
were preparing to do a short
little tour.

89
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,720
We released a aligning song
that's line dance is going crazy

90
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,520
now but we released the song,
came home for a little short

91
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,720
tour about 3 weeks and the world
shut down for COVID and I was

92
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,160
like OK I'm going back to work
blah blah blah blah.

93
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,080
Next thing I know here we are
five years later and I'm still

94
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,200
here.
Wow.

95
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,000
So that kind of put the kibosh
on your touring schedule for a

96
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,560
while.
Yeah, it it.

97
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,440
No, not really because I entered
into a John the music called

98
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:32,480
Southern Soul and basically
trail ride country zydeco soul

99
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080
music.
So I entered it.

100
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,760
I was in pop for a very long
time.

101
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,040
So at a certain age you like
auntie does not have good knees

102
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,800
anymore, so we can't be up here
knees.

103
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,640
You can't be up there dancing,
doing, doing the all the, all

104
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,200
the choreography when you as you
age up, right?

105
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,920
That part, thank you.
Tina Turner trying to tell us

106
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,920
how we could.
Right.

107
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,040
No SO.
Tina Turner Love Tina Turner.

108
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,720
Oh, I love her, I love her.
I always said I was going to go

109
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,480
and knock on her, go to
Switzerland.

110
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,360
I was going to knock on her door
until I was her.

111
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,560
Long.
Long if she would believe.

112
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,440
Me.
She had a place in Switzerland.

113
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Yeah, she she left.
You didn't.

114
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Know that.
Long time ago, she moved.

115
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,720
To Queen man.
OK, so so so Bruce, because we

116
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,680
found you via Bruce Gambino on a
Villo Cheetah.

117
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,720
He actually sent me this link
that you that you went on a tour

118
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,400
with Smoke or you did some shows
with Smokey Robinson, which

119
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,160
super cool because Smokey
Robinson legend, right?

120
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,120
Yeah.
So how was so did you get to

121
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,800
hang out with him?
Did you hang out with him, meet

122
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,200
him, talk to him, or did you
just kind of perform and, you

123
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040
know, never cross paths because
that always intrigues us as

124
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,720
musicians too.
When you get to play with

125
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,680
somebody that's that's up in
that, you know, an upper echelon

126
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,840
performer, you know, what's the
vibe like?

127
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Is he a nice guy?
Is he arrogant?

128
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,600
You know, give us some insight
on him.

129
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,640
Donnelly.
Let me tell you that I had just

130
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,680
flew in from Japan.
No, I wasn't.

131
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,560
I'll take that back.
I flew in from Hong Kong.

132
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,560
It was in the Hong Kong and
Shanghai.

133
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,040
Anyway, flew in, I was tired,
tired, tired.

134
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:23,120
So exhausted, I got to do the
sound check and this big guy

135
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,640
comes in and say, who are you?
And I said, I'm opening it

136
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,200
first.
And he says, why?

137
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,039
We don't know anything about it.
How can you not know about me?

138
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,240
And I'm on your name.
You see my face on your the name

139
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,480
tag.
He looked and he was like, oh, I

140
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,039
said, well, you need to talk to
the manager.

141
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:44,360
So at the end of the day, I go
backstage and smoke.

142
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,760
He's there and he's like, you
have a very beautiful voice.

143
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,720
I love it.
Then afterward I said thank you,

144
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,080
Mr. Austin.
My eyes were closing like I was

145
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,200
jet lagged like none other.
Oh no.

146
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,360
I just want to just curl up in a
corner and go to sleep.

147
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,600
But this was an amazing
opportunity for me, so I had to,

148
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,880
you know, I had to put it
together.

149
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,680
So after the show, he invites us
to his dressing room.

150
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,600
He's, you know, says, you know,
I wish you good luck.

151
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,640
You keep going.
Your voice is amazing.

152
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,800
He talks to my manager at that
time and, you know, was giving

153
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600
him some tips on, you know, what
to do with me and stuff.

154
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,800
And, you know, we we fought for
years trying to get a song with

155
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,920
him, but that didn't happen.
But but he was such a nice

156
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,600
person.
Now, on the other hand, I do

157
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,800
have to say like, you know, the
the manager wasn't pleased at

158
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,960
first, but then I thought
something he was kind of cool,

159
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,240
cool with me.
Right, right.

160
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,720
I'm sorry.
My wife is texting me so I had

161
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,760
to respond.
No.

162
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,360
That's a great story.
I love Smokey Robinson myself.

163
00:09:53,680 --> 00:10:02,680
Yeah, my song is.
That's the only way.

164
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:05,040
I was like, I'm waiting for the
last.

165
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,080
I was like, so by that time I
was underneath the bleach.

166
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,200
So the cool thing that's popping
out to me on your on your on

167
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,720
your website here as I scroll
through your photos, you have

168
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,840
the unique ability to look
different.

169
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,480
I, I mean, it's just, it's
amazing why I was.

170
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,520
Go ahead, Mike.
That's kind of why I was

171
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,200
speechless there for a minute,
because as you were scrolling

172
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,320
through, I'm like, how many
different people can this person

173
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,760
because?
Yeah, like right there.

174
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,400
Fascinating.
Yeah, like right there, it's the

175
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,200
same person.
All beautiful.

176
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,040
That's right.
Usually you look better as one

177
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,360
person or the other.
You look great as all these

178
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,600
people.
Yeah, that's why I was

179
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,400
fascinated it.
You're.

180
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,080
Able to like he said, you're
able to pull off each different

181
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,360
looks so well.
Yeah, and your smile is

182
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,760
contagious.
You have a great smile.

183
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Like you can tell you're, you're
truly filled with joy and

184
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,560
happiness.
And just, I mean, because you

185
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,520
just your, your, your, your
smile bounces off the screen.

186
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,640
I agree.
Thank you, gentlemen.

187
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,960
I.
Like the gangster style.

188
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:15,320
I see I have a fashion wigs, so
I'll go in the store and I'll

189
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,120
put on a wig and it just changed
my whole whole style.

190
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000
So so can you give us the
address to your store?

191
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,000
I know.
We want to look amazing too.

192
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,800
I know I started AI did start a
wig line and I it was for my

193
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,000
door.
It was called Pink Box Slam Shop

194
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,600
and she had no interest in it,
no interest in it.

195
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,160
So I am thinking about
relaunching that at that shop

196
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,160
again.
Hey, we had, we had a guy on the

197
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,040
show that he just his turmoil
was went through a really dark

198
00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,120
path, ended up being in in jail
for the fifth time, had an

199
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,160
epiphany, you know, dropped to
his knees, praised to the baby

200
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,680
Jesus and, you know, helped turn
his life around.

201
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:10,240
But he went from that chaotic
life to taking a, a, a pasta

202
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,240
dish to an, a, a meeting in
which everybody was blown away

203
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,840
by how good it was.
And now he sells his custard,

204
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,920
his homemade pasta, he's in
Piggly Wiggly and some other

205
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,200
store he's working on that's
launched him to write a book

206
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,960
about his experience from bars
to jars, a saucy redemption

207
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,840
story.
And then that has taken him down

208
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,920
the path of where they're
putting together a pilot to be

209
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,840
on one of the streaming networks
all about that.

210
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,440
And then that's taken another
step further.

211
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,800
Where's potential movie stuff in
the works just from.

212
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,920
Oh, and he does Cologne and and
perfumes as well, just from a

213
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,400
moment.
So, so I would absolutely say

214
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,720
get that line going again
because it's just more branding

215
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,960
for you, the person and the
artist and another reason for

216
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,640
people to find you online,
right?

217
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,600
Well, that, that's amazing
story.

218
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,040
I like that.
From bars to jars.

219
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,440
Yeah.
So, yeah, Pink.

220
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,280
Yeah.
Pink slam shops.

221
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,560
Say that again.
I said that gives enough

222
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,840
opportunity for gives a chance
inspiration for Pink Box.

223
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,880
So go ahead on and come to life,
yes?

224
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,960
There you go.
I for some reason I thought she

225
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,920
said lamb chop.
So I got she's into stuff myself

226
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,480
like Lamb chop Stevie Wonder,
get out of Dodge.

227
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,920
Michael Jackson.
Where's Michael Jackson?

228
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,080
You got a picture of Michael
Jackson, right?

229
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,920
There next to.
Right next to it, to the left.

230
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,640
To the left.
Over here, maybe 2 year old.

231
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,680
Wow, that's.
Cool, so amazing.

232
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,280
What year is that?
Yeah.

233
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,240
Then Benny King is to the right
of that.

234
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,000
OK, and I have a funny story
now.

235
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,640
What year was?
Oh, that's been, that's been.

236
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,800
That's Benny King right there.
No, that's Robert.

237
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:02,520
Robert.
OK.

238
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,160
That's Robert Shipley from.
There's the Yep, there's Stevie.

239
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,160
The next.
So there's Benny King.

240
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,440
OK, cool.
And I'm funny story about that

241
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,680
one too.
So Maxi Priest, I worked with

242
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:20,920
him, I toured with him for about
four years, OK.

243
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:29,600
And his manager, Toby Ludwig was
managing Benny King as well.

244
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,800
So he says, hey, come over to
the Blue Note, Benny King is

245
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,240
here, blah, blah, blah.
And no Cotton Club.

246
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,760
He was at the Cotton Club in
Japan.

247
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,160
And so I was like, OK, so as
we're walking through the the

248
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,320
corridor from the train station
to get to the club, I noticed

249
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,240
that James Brown is to the right
at another being.

250
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,680
I'm like.
Another legend.

251
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,360
Yeah, as I should go to James
Brown, but I said, well, he's

252
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,360
always here, right.
Benny King on the other hand, I

253
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,600
really am.
I really thought the man was

254
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,120
dead.
So I was like, Oh my God, I this

255
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,480
is I this is an opportunity I
have to go see him because I

256
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,440
thought he had passed away a
long time ago.

257
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,160
So I went in met with him such I
mean, oh, such a great man.

258
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Oh wow, such you know, he gave
us so much insight in the

259
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,000
business and songwriting as well
as you stroll down to you see me

260
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,440
with blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, Mr. 02

261
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,160
and.
A foodie, So two and a foodie.

262
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,520
Let me get back to that story,
then I'll come back to this one.

263
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,480
So literature, Little Richard?
Yeah.

264
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,200
So as I come out, you know of of
there I said, Dang, I thought we

265
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,400
were going to get a least
opportunity to go in and catch

266
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,200
the end part of James Brown's
show, but then it already

267
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:56,080
finished, right?
So 3 weeks later, I'm on my way.

268
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,920
I always came back home on
Christmas Day or because I

269
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,760
always did a big Christmas Eve
party in Japan.

270
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,160
So oh nice.
He packed Christmas Day as I was

271
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,720
landing in Atlanta.
He was there.

272
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,120
I wanted to run the Grady
Hospital and just like resurrect

273
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,760
him.
Get up.

274
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,160
You can't die.
I need to stay here.

275
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,520
I was so sad because I had an
opportunity to really just, you

276
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,360
know, go in the thing about
Japan, working in Japan that,

277
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,640
you know, there weren't many
black artists there in Japan or

278
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,560
singers.
So most of these art artists

279
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,480
that came over, they would walk
the street.

280
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,600
Not Michael Jackson, but they
would, you know, walk the

281
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,920
street.
And if you're out and about,

282
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,360
they see you.
They're like, hey, and you're

283
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,120
like, hey, do you know who you
are?

284
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,440
You know, like that and with
them or you got to meet them

285
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,280
through someone else that you
knew in the music industry.

286
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,080
So that was the coolest.
I loved work in Japan because I

287
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,200
got so many artists and and go
to so many shows.

288
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,480
Charlie Wilson, I got a free
ticket.

289
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,280
Most of the shows were always
like they invite you to their

290
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,720
shows.
But Charlie Wilson, I paid his

291
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:18,160
show four times because his show
was it changed every night.

292
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,960
It shows change every night.
So I tried.

293
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,560
That's what I what I try to do
is change my appearance, change

294
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,240
my shows, have different things
going on in my shows.

295
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,600
You know, that makes it after
you see greats, the great

296
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,840
legends do their shows, you try
to be great as well, too.

297
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,160
So yeah, that's why you see a
lot of the looks because.

298
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,840
That's.
Awesome.

299
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,760
It's good though, because it
keeps it fresh and then it's

300
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,480
you're not, you're not putting
on the same show every time

301
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,640
somebody comes to see you,
right?

302
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,200
You're changing it up and you're
making it.

303
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,280
You're making it each show a
unique experience on some level.

304
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,880
I mean, I'm sure you'll do
certain things that are the

305
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,560
same, but it's it's nice to do
that, to be able to, hey, you

306
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,520
know, like we can't do that.
I can't change my look.

307
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,760
I can shave this and put a hat
on or take the hat off.

308
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,520
That's what you get right.
So you have that ability, you

309
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,600
know, women luckily have that
ability, right, where you can

310
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,720
kind of change your parents
with, like you said, with hair

311
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,080
color, with a wig, with what you
wear, you know, different colors

312
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,920
or different things, bring out
your eyes, all that kind of

313
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,920
jazz.
So I mean that that's really

314
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,400
cool.
That's really cool.

323
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,400
How, how recent are some of
these?

324
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,120
Oh, there you go on the end.
So you, are you doing, what are

325
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,960
you doing now?
Are you, are you touring now?

326
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,920
Are you taking a break?
You know, talk a little bit

327
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,920
about what you're doing and, and
and all the kind of fun stuff.

328
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,200
I'm making a comeback now.
Last year was a very, very hard

329
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,400
and the beginning of this year,
very, very hard year.

330
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:10,160
My sister was cancer and so I
stopped.

331
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,000
Thank you.
This time last year I was in

332
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,200
California, Riverside.
So when I did the platform, you

333
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,440
guys on Riverside, I was like,
oh sis, look.

334
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:27,920
So I went to go take care of my
stepmom and she passed away this

335
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,960
April and my aunt had just
passed away prior to me leaving

336
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,240
there and next.
I'm so sorry.

337
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,640
Yeah, it, it was a bad year.
Last year my nephew, he was in a

338
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,800
bad car accident and the
hospital wanted his organs and

339
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,360
we would dealt the family dealt
with that man.

340
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,440
It was just like crazy.
So I didn't do any.

341
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:55,080
Last year was just bad my mental
state was off the meter like no

342
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,880
I can't do this.
Then my brother pet just passed

343
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:05,560
away in June so I am just then
my child I'm sorry.

344
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,320
And you know our best friend she
passes away about two months

345
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,000
ago.
So it had been it was like when

346
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,120
I get started back singing some
something.

347
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,440
Brings my heart, makes my heart
heavy again.

348
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:26,000
So I did back into my meditation
and prayers and just clearing

349
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,920
everything up.
So now I finally finished my

350
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,680
first Christmas song.
So congratulations and.

351
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,040
What's what's the Christmas
song?

352
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,680
Is it a, is it, is it a remake
or is it something original?

353
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,840
It's original.
It's called Best Gift.

354
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:42,680
Nice.
Yes.

355
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,600
So I'll make sure you got a copy
of it when we release it.

356
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,600
We have thanks for night is what
we're trying to do it midnight

357
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,400
release it.
That's good.

358
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:59,360
We're doing also a documentary
of the ladies that are in

359
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:02,520
Southern that I work with and
it's called The Diamonds of

360
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,000
Soul.
Nice.

361
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,560
And I am the diamond of soul,
they're the diamonds of soul.

362
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,680
And my goal is to put the
documentary out the first two

363
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:18,360
year to start a tour.
We've already start touring, but

364
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,840
we we don't have like the big
tour.

365
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,160
We have like certain groups in
the organization.

366
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,680
So there's 7 ladies and eight
including myself.

367
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,400
And we've done like 3 or 4.
You know, we did one big show in

368
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,560
Dallas, but we haven't really
did the big, big show.

369
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,600
So that's the goal is releasing
documentary and then taking that

370
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:45,040
on tour internationally.
Hopefully the middle part other

371
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,760
than the last part of 2026 then
there's OK, so let me.

372
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,200
Ask you let me ask you a
question.

373
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,360
I'm going to I want to stop you
right there.

374
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:54,240
I want to ask you a question
because a lot of a lot of people

375
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,040
that that watching the star
show, they're not going to

376
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,920
understand the concept of this.
So you're going to do an

377
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,480
international tour talk.
I don't want you to spend the

378
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,960
whole rest of our time about it,
but talk a little bit about what

379
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,200
goes into actually planning
something like that and how much

380
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,600
involvement is needed as far as
the prep time to just create an

381
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,160
international tour.
Cause in the United States it's

382
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,600
relatively simple, right, for
the most part, but you're going

383
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,920
internationally.
So what kind of barriers do you

384
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,880
have to get through to in order
to make that happen?

385
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,480
And how far in advance do you
have to start scheduling dates

386
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,240
and planning the trips and all
that kind of jazz?

387
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,160
Just so like the reason I'm
asking this question is we

388
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,480
watched, we watched the thing
one time on our show here that

389
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,520
Bruno Mars behind the scenes.
Like you never think about what

390
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,120
an artist has to go through
preparing for a show, kind of

391
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,160
like what you probably do.
Like we were just in a rock

392
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,720
band.
So you know, everybody but me

393
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,760
because I was a singer, they
just kind of, you know, stood in

394
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,560
their place and did their thing.
I'm the one that's going all

395
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,520
over the stage and stuff, right?
Not that I was dancing like

396
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,120
Bruno Mars, mind you, but it
intrigued, it fascinated me when

397
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:54,520
I saw that.
And I was like, because you

398
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,640
never think about it.
You see the finished product,

399
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,560
but you never think of it as
just a normal guy who buys the

400
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,640
music and stuff like what
actually is involved in creating

401
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,160
that product on stage
especially.

402
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,560
Thank you, Mike.
So I, I kind of just want to get

403
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,160
some insight as to for doing an
international tour.

404
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,720
What's involved in that?
Because it's it's it's it's got

405
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,160
to be very time consuming and
it's got to be very detail

406
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,720
oriented, right?
You just can't say I'm going to

407
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,280
go to Japan tomorrow.
So give us a little insight to

408
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,640
that because that's something I
think it fascinates me.

409
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,560
So I think it'll fascinate
others that are watching and

410
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,040
listening.
OK.

411
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,440
Well, with this particular one,
it's it's definitely difficult

412
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,440
because I have I am the glue and
so therefore I can get along

413
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,760
with a different people.
So I have seven women that I

414
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,760
have two.
Make sure that they can get

415
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,640
along with each other.
That's the first.

416
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,080
Key, right?
Well.

417
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,160
Step #1.
Step number one, that's a big

418
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,120
step two.
Well.

419
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:06,000
Everybody has passports.
Step 3 is getting sponsorship.

420
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,560
That is where I am at now.
I'm trying to get the

421
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:19,400
sponsorship from, you know,
liquor brands, hotel brands, as

422
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,280
well as, you know, promoters.
I don't have deep pocket, you

423
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,040
know, so I have to get the
sponsorship needed to take these

424
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,240
ladies on tour.
Now we're not asking a whole

425
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,320
bunch of money because we want
to brand our brand the Diamonds

426
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,320
of Soul and brand our name and
with with giving a great show,

427
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,360
we hope with you know, the
following tour would be bigger

428
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:46,960
money.
So then you have rehearsals

429
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,080
once, once you get the dates,
you know the sponsorship, then

430
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,840
you can get the dates.
Once the date starts, then you

431
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,920
go and get the rehearsals, but
before the rehearsal you have to

432
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,160
get the band.
But I have, you know, several

433
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,280
different great musical
directors I work with who

434
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,320
believe in the vision.
So that was really, really,

435
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,280
really the easiest right there.
The main after you do that, the

436
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,120
rehearsals, you know, we have to
set out how many rehearsals is

437
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:18,800
going to be required.
Everybody has to have be on

438
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,520
their a game and make sure that
they know their their their

439
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,880
music, their words, their
lyrics, because it is going to

440
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:33,960
be a show with a three hour show
where you know, take a you may

441
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,520
not take intermission.
So I'm trying to keep it where

442
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,800
it's three hours.
Everybody gets to do four or

443
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,200
five songs, high energy, a
preview.

444
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,640
You know, there's going to be a
tribute to the legends and and

445
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,880
Blues and soul.
And so that's where it's it's

446
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:57,160
it's complicated right there
because, you know, pinky the

447
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,760
right songs, because the
legends, they all have great

448
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,960
songs.
So how do you say, OK, I can

449
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,400
just choose one song.
Imagine you can't.

450
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,400
Like Aretha has 2000 million
songs.

451
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,360
Now Tina has 800 million.
You know, Whitney has so many

452
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:14,960
songs.
So that is what the key point

453
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,720
of.
Whitney, Yeah.

454
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,240
Yeah, it's selling.
Yeah, Whitney.

455
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,520
Yeah.
Whitney's the goat.

456
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,080
Whitney's the goat.
I don't care what anybody says.

457
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,720
Whitney's the goat when it comes
to female singers.

458
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,000
That woman, when she sang the
Star Spangled Banner to Super

459
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,880
Bowl, Super Bowl 25, you know
that.

460
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,120
And it was live.
She sang that live and nailed

461
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:36,360
it.
I even now I'm getting chills.

462
00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:37,520
I mean, granted, I'm a Giants
fan.

463
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,560
So wide, right?
Yeah, but the national anthem,

464
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,240
Nobody I and I, nobody I, I've
ever heard anybody even come

465
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,040
close to how she nailed that
song.

466
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,320
No, she's just.
Like, it's so sad that she left

467
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,920
us, left our world, because what
a voice, what a gift she was to,

468
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,360
to, you know, lovers of music,
right?

469
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,440
Absolutely.
That's the only version of that

470
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,640
song I actually like.
But I actually have in my

471
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,320
playlist.
I'll be driving around, yeah.

472
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:11,600
I think we should have a better
tune for a national anthem.

473
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,080
So that's the only version that
I actually can stomach as hers

474
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,240
because it's perfect.
You.

475
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,720
Didn't like Marvin Gaye?
Just yeah, you.

476
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,120
Didn't like Marvin Gaye?
I I like Marvin Gaye, but I

477
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:27,440
think I.
Think I love Marvin Gaye as a

478
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,000
singer, but I I personally, I
don't like the melt.

479
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,040
Like, I think we should actually
have a song that's uplifting and

480
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,560
moves people.
And I, I don't know, it's just

481
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,040
to me, it needs to be updated.
We need an updated tune.

482
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,520
Yeah, it's.
Hard though, man, because that's

483
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,560
hard though.
It's.

484
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,560
Hard.
That was Francis Scott

485
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,760
Fitzgerald.
Man, that's that's old now.

486
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,640
The funny thing is, there's more
to that song than actually is

487
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,040
performed.
Yeah, there's like what, two or

488
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,800
three more?
Two or three more verses that

489
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,520
when you put those all together,
it's like, I can see why they

490
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,000
just picked this chunk of it
because yeah, the the other

491
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,520
ones, just the other part of it
doesn't work.

492
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,120
But yeah.
So when you do, when you when

493
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:09,600
you do your international tour,
are you going to do stuff in the

494
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,440
States or you're just going to
go on outside the country?

495
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,560
No, we're going to be we're
going to start here, kick out

496
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,960
the kinks and then go where my
goal go to London, Dubai,

497
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:26,040
London, Dubai, Greece.
I do have connections in Greece,

498
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,640
then back to Asia, only reason
and in Germany, I'm sorry.

499
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,560
So I have those connections that
I'm trying to work with to bring

500
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,560
the tour.
Then the budget once again, I

501
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:43,280
have to work on sponsorship,
what monies I can get from them,

502
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,080
the hotels and all that to be
able to say OK, I can bring 8

503
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,680
girls, I can bring 5 girls, 5,
four girls, whatever.

504
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,360
That's the you have it and scale
it down.

505
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,120
So, so how do you, how do you,
how do you pick if you have 7

506
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,600
girls to start with and then the
budget ends up being that you

507
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,960
can do 5 including you, how do
you take from those seven girls

508
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,520
and pick 4?
I flip a coin.

509
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:18,400
No, no, I just think they're
availability and I also I look

510
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,240
at who most likely and then they
say all the ladies, they get

511
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,600
along well.
It's just like, you know, but

512
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:32,720
some of them, you know, just
don't jail together or some are

513
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,920
just way outrageous Divas and
you know, and and I'm just like

514
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,880
this simple hometown girl.
And they they wonder why are you

515
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,200
so calm all the time?
Girl, please, I meditate.

516
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,120
I'm, you know, I'm very, you
tell.

517
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,640
That answers my question.
So the, the, the, the, the

518
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,080
humble ones are going to be the
ones that get chosen as opposed

519
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,720
to the, you know.
Yeah.

520
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,520
You know.
I have to because I, I, I deal

521
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,360
with the drama.
I can't, I really can't.

522
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,840
So but the overall goal my
ladies, because I'm, I'm a big

523
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,760
fan of all the ladies that I
picked 4 times or so.

524
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,680
I'm a huge fan of all of them.
That's good as you as you

525
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,680
should, because you're going to
let's you're going to share the

526
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,640
stage with them and you're going
to give them their moments to

527
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,920
shine, right?
Every show, like you said, every

528
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,720
one of the, the, the stars, even
though you're the diamond,

529
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,760
they're going to have four or
five songs to sing.

530
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,720
So you have to be just as much
as a fan, right?

531
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,600
Because otherwise why are you
letting them showcase that?

532
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,000
You know, why are you letting
them step in front of you and be

533
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,760
like, you know, the person for
the crowd for that 10, 15

534
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,240
minutes, depending on the length
of the song?

535
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,120
So I think what you have set up
sounds really intriguing.

536
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,440
That's why I asked if we're
going to be in the country as

537
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,040
well.
So if as the tour goes on, as

538
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,840
you make money, because I'm sure
you're going to, it's going to

539
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,120
be a success, if you ever come
to Arizona or or Chicago, let us

540
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,680
know because I would love to
come check it out, as I'm sure

541
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,920
it might, would, might.
And by the way, you're the first

542
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,120
female artist we've had on the
show.

543
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,680
Yeah, yeah.
And we love female singers.

544
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,800
I mean, to me, I tell my wife
all the time when I'm listening

545
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,600
to something that women have
such a better dynamic voice than

546
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,480
men do.
You can do so many different

547
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,760
things.
You know the voice where where

548
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,880
you know, you have certain men
that can kind of, you know, do

549
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,760
the nice, the big 767 octaves
right.

550
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,800
But to me, there's nothing
sexually than a woman on stage

551
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800
just belt down a song and you
just feel it in every, you know,

552
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,800
being of your Viber, of your
fiber of your being, just

553
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,880
because they can hit those
notes.

554
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,440
And then when you go like it
came up and you remember the

555
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,160
band 4 Non Blondes.
Oh yeah.

556
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,760
OK, so the song What's Up came
on the Radio One night.

557
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,160
We were going out somewhere and,
and if you, if you listen to

558
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,480
that like you've never heard it
before, as as she goes from

559
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,600
clean to rasp and then the
higher the low register, it's

560
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,400
it's a phenomenal track.
And that's something that a male

561
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,360
voice can't pull off.
So there's things that women

562
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,360
artists like yourself can do
vocally that you automatically

563
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,080
win me over because as a
vocalist, I look at the vocalist

564
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,920
and I listen to how they sound
and how they sing.

565
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,640
So that to me is just, you know,
phenomenal.

566
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,120
I mean you.
And it doesn't matter what genre

567
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,600
either because aside from Mariah
Carey, Mariah Carey drives me

568
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,280
nuts.
But especially with just a

569
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,560
dynamic, a female artist, you
know, I just you, you

570
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,800
automatically win me over.
You automatically have have

571
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,120
credibility with me anyway,
because you're a female artist

572
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,160
and you're doing things that
that most male vocalist cannot

573
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,760
do.
So that's a win right there.

574
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,480
No, thank you.
Yeah.

575
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,760
And what was the name of that
group again, 4/9?

576
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,320
4 Non Blondes.
I just I'll tell you I just we

577
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,320
just did it ourselves.
Mike.

578
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,760
I'll tell you who's she's got a
picture.

579
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,240
With Michael Jackson, I mean,
I'm not.

580
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,600
She does have a picture of
Michael Jackson.

581
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,600
She does, yeah.
I'll tell you who she is.

582
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,080
Danielle's her name is Linda
Perry.

583
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,000
She I know.
She is.

584
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,920
I thought I knew.
I knew who I knew she would know

585
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,800
who that is, because Linda Perry
actually wrote most of Pink's

586
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,680
first.
She probably wrote all of Pink's

587
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,840
first album, and then Pink took
credit for it and it became a

588
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,840
big deal behind the scenes.
So anybody that's familiar with

589
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,160
that story knows who Linda Perry
is because there.

590
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,120
Was a.
Falling out.

591
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,680
They used to be best friends.
Really.

592
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,200
Oh yeah.
Interesting.

593
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,360
And I could be skewing that
story a little bit, but my

594
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,640
understanding is Linda Perry is
pretty much direct, directly

595
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,800
responsible for writing most of
that first album for Pink.

596
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,800
No shit.
Yeah.

597
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,560
Now wait.
Is that your understanding as

598
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,880
well?
Album after she left the Face

599
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,080
Records.
Yes, the one that made her

600
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,720
famous, right?
The one that Yes, right.

601
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,400
Uh huh.
Yeah, Yeah, I know now.

602
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Yeah, definitely.
And you mentioned Mariah Carey

603
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,880
also.
With your mute.

604
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,360
I'm sorry, I'm saying I also I
did think I'm.

605
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,800
Sorry, go ahead.
Right here as well too.

606
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:11,120
When you said that I was I'm
like, you poor thing, pull the

607
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:17,800
baby.
No.

608
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,600
So I know you sent me some
social links and stuff.

609
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,000
So as far as your music catalog,
can people find you on on all

610
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,360
the Spotify and Apple iTunes
etcetera?

611
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,360
Yes, and they can actually go.
You probably find more music on

612
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:39,520
YouTube because there are songs
that like people bought in Japan

613
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,719
or, or when I was doing shows in
France and like, did you?

614
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,760
They just put my music up and it
was amazing.

615
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,040
Like I'll go put in Danielle
Renee and oh, I forgot I did

616
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,120
this song.
Oh, that was on the other album

617
00:34:54,120 --> 00:35:01,120
or album, album, album and that
one, you know.

618
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,200
Oh.
So yeah, they can find it

619
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,880
everywhere.
This is the one that we're about

620
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,960
to release now.
Back that booty was when I first

621
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,040
came back, it was aligning.
That's awesome.

622
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,680
We're going to promote that.
And so it's back there booty,

623
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:20,960
back there booty 2 point O, and
back there booty 3 point O.

624
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:28,520
So next month we're recording a
collaboration video of Myself,

625
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:34,720
The Party, King, Buddha Jones,
Johnny James, It's Karma Ice

626
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:40,000
Doll and Miss Pizza.
So all three records were placed

627
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,680
into one and we're going to
record the video, which is going

628
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,160
crazy now.
Line dances.

629
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,200
But I was reminded that I was
one of the first females to put

630
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,880
a line dance in her song.
But because of the things that

631
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,720
were going on in my life, I just
basically, I didn't promote the

632
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:03,440
record as much.
So I decided to go ahead on and

633
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:09,000
re record it with my brother and
then these other five other

634
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,680
artists.
And we're going to just do the

635
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,360
big video and drop it and see
where it goes.

636
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,240
But everybody loves me because
it's a it's a tribute to women

637
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:21,800
with all kinds of booties,
little booties, big booties,

638
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,320
stomachs, all that.
Just get up and party.

639
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,480
No, don't get one.
That's awesome.

640
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:34,280
That's awesome.
Very, very, very.

641
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,480
Fun.
So I have to assume that you

642
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,800
have country music to go with
your line dance, otherwise it

643
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,880
wouldn't make much sense.
No, no, it's, it's, it's kind of

644
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,160
it's, it's a, it's in the
Southern soul genre, which is

645
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,520
also my music is in this new
genre, music that hasn't been

646
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,920
really recognized yet is OK,
whole country.

647
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,880
And so, as you see, Yep, we have
our little, we have our country,

648
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:08,160
we out there in the fields and
horses and wagons.

649
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:15,600
This is the back to booty video.
I pulled this off the I pulled

650
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,840
this off the YouTube boys and
girls.

651
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,880
This is back your booty.
Yeah, she said.

652
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,640
This is in Texas.
Cool, we'll give it a little

653
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,880
volume, even though we usually
get shut down by giving a volume

654
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,800
like the Voice Man.
Oh my ladies, if you got set

655
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,640
fire step up on.
The road we.

656
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,680
Can take it a little higher, you
know that.

657
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:50,360
I love.
It.

658
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,840
Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
absolutely.

659
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,000
We're going to get, yeah, yeah,
we're going to put that up on

660
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,680
our on our Facebook page for
sure.

661
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,640
Back then, we'll share that for
sure.

662
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,480
That's.
All nice, nice, really nice,

663
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:19,200
nice melody.
Love the sound of the voice like

664
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,840
that's that's right on Danielle,
right on.

665
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,360
I like it.
Yeah, I like the swing that you

666
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,520
got to your music.
That's definitely the Southern

667
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,760
element.
Is that swing?

668
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,720
Uh huh.
Absolutely.

669
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:32,440
Yeah, it was fine.
That was one of my that was that

670
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:37,600
was I called a low budget movie
got my because I had had a car

671
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,760
accident too.
After this, I mean before this,

672
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:47,280
Oh my days, literally 4-8 days,
a lady slams in the back of my

673
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:53,400
my car and almost like me and my
granddaughter went she was in

674
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,120
the back.
She we were going to another

675
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,280
show.
I was getting ready to.

676
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,640
I stopped by my uncle's to give
him his birthday present and

677
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,200
then I had a show in the park.
Well, I didn't make the show in

678
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,560
the park and but I had the video
already set up.

679
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,640
So when I tell you I was in so
much pain in that video right

680
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,400
there, baby, I was like, oh God,
please let this hurry and be

681
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,960
over with.
But yeah, we, we had fun.

682
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:23,000
All those my trail rider
friends, like they had to trail

683
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,320
ride.
We was like, we're coming to do

684
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,200
the video.
We need your scenery there.

685
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,080
And so, yeah.
It turned out amazing, I love

686
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,360
it.
Yeah, I just put you up on our

687
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,320
Facebook page because I dig it.
I dig it.

688
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,800
I dig it back.
That booty I'm going to show.

689
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,200
I'm going to play it for my wife
later.

690
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:50,360
Come here, honey.
I'll spend my money.

691
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,080
Women love that because they at
the shows they get to share my,

692
00:39:55,080 --> 00:40:00,680
my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
It's my, my, my, my, my.

693
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,880
It's my.
That's the whole thing.

694
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,360
The show.
Women just like this.

695
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,200
My money.
You can't tell me how to spend

696
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,280
it.
It's so she may love that one

697
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,680
too.
I have.

698
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,720
So who's who's the male singing
there?

699
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,840
That's the party king, my
brother, the party king, He's

700
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,560
my.
Cool, shout out, shout out the

701
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,200
party king you got.
You got the sound, brother.

702
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,840
Like it?
Absolutely.

703
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,000
That's great.
I like it.

704
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,520
I like we need to get some
electric guitars in this and get

705
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,360
some rock it out a bit.
You know, I got just take it to

706
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,280
a whole new level, man.
I got you covered.

707
00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:58,880
Yeah.
Yeah, I can totally see that

708
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,320
being a hit.
Yeah, I can totally.

709
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,040
I can totally see this being a
hit man.

710
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,400
Are you so?
Are you signed to a record label

711
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,120
or are you independent?
Or how are you promoting your

712
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,760
music?
I am an independent artist.

713
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,760
I, I was fine.
My very first record deal was

714
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,160
well, only record deal was that
take that back was in it out of

715
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:29,120
Atlanta and that was in 95 and I
was released in 97 and went to

716
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,840
Japan and just stayed overseas
and, and put music out on my

717
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,440
own.
Just Nick Entertainment label.

718
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:42,160
So now I'm working with
marketing team called Expand

719
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,800
Entertainment and basically they
help me market the music through

720
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,080
social media platforms and
whatnot.

721
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:56,840
But I still record my own music,
hold my own masters and and put

722
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,960
them out.
When I work about 2026, you'll

723
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,280
hear a lot more of me.
I'm going to also go back to

724
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:11,200
doing some more pop EDM tracks
I've been having at people.

725
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:18,040
I have about 3 EDM tech, tech
techno songs out that I've done

726
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,360
throughout the years and so I've
been getting asked to use my

727
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,200
voice on those tracks.
Yeah, so.

728
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,640
You know, I I could.
I could, I could, yeah.

729
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,080
I could see that the the way
your voice is that you could

730
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,680
kind of, you could kind of go up
and down the dial genre wise,

731
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,480
which is really cool.
Which again goes back to what I

732
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:42,240
said earlier, women have such a
better dynamic of vocals range

733
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:44,040
than men do.
And you know, I mean, there's a

734
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,160
there's a few men that can kind
of do it all, but.

735
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,120
I would say it differently.
I would say that it's easier for

736
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,240
women to cross genres than it.
Is for me.

737
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:56,240
Right.
I can take her seriously as a

738
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,600
country singer.
I can take her seriously as a

739
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,800
gospel singer.
I can take her seriously as a

740
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,200
pop singer.
She can do all those things

741
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,760
because not only, like I said,
you became a different character

742
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,800
for every song you sang, right?
She's literally becoming a

743
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,480
different human being in a
different genre, but because her

744
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,080
voice is so dynamic, you take it
seriously.

745
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,240
I think it's more that they can
cross genres.

746
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,760
That's a yeah, that's a that's.
You know what I was trying to

747
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,240
People gave Beyoncé a hard time
for releasing this country

748
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:27,880
album, but it still sold 100
million copies, right?

749
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,640
She's still giving a middle
finger to the big to the world.

750
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,120
At that point right there, I
wouldn't do whatever.

751
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,800
That would have gone back to
business.

752
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,320
Yeah, You know, one of my
favorite, honestly, tell you

753
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:48,200
what, I had two favorite singers
and that's, well, definitely

754
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:53,200
Barbra Streisand and then the
Carpenters, like I.

755
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,960
Karen Carpenter.
First got to Japan.

756
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:02,240
I was like, I had to sing so
many pop.

757
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:08,240
I guess though, what that wasn't
like pop, but was it pop that

758
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:13,000
era for them, The Carpenters?
And it was pop for the era for

759
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:13,560
sure.
Yeah.

760
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:15,920
Right.
Because really.

761
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:16,760
Really.
Awesome.

762
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,520
Because all pop.
Because back in the day, right,

763
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,800
pop is just popular music.
It wasn't, right?

764
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,640
It wasn't.
You think of pop music now, it's

765
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,480
a whole different meaning,
right?

766
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,640
It wasn't.
Demonized.

767
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,600
Back then it was.
Right, exact hair.

768
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,840
It was just popular, right?
It was just popular music.

769
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,720
It was rock music and that was
kind of and country western,

770
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,200
right?
Because it wasn't country music,

771
00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:36,720
it was country western.
So you had really just those

772
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:39,080
kind of three mains, mainstay
categories, right?

773
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:40,920
And then you had the folk rock
and folk music.

774
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,880
But yeah, pop rock back then was
just pop their music or pop

775
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,040
music.
Right now it's just, you know,

776
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,520
the Justin Bieber's and the
Bruno Mars and all that kind of

777
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,400
candy ass pop rock stuff that I
like to call it.

778
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,800
But that's just me.
But yeah, I was just popping a

779
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,280
music for sure.
And that surprises me.

780
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,240
Those are your two people you
pull out from from from your

781
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:01,320
favorites.
Like I wasn't expecting that.

782
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,320
I wasn't, which is.
Cool, impressive, and.

783
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:09,240
Listen to Barbra Streisand and
the Carpenters like all day

784
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,760
because the melody is just
recorded with my soul.

785
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:19,080
I'm telling you, lyrics like
when Barbra Streisand sings the

786
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:24,400
way we were like, come on, man,
that's just so beautiful.

787
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,000
It's like her tone is even
though it's like even now, it's

788
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,600
just the tone in her voice just
was like amazing, you know?

789
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,720
And then the way the music, the
melodies are the Carpenters

790
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:44,240
music on top of the world.
That was the very first one I

791
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:47,680
had to sing.
And I was like, I had never

792
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,560
heard it before.
And they were like, sing top of

793
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:52,880
the world, top of the world, top
of the world.

794
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,080
I'm like, who is top of the
world?

795
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,640
I don't know this song.
And when I sang it, I was like,

796
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:02,040
I'm singing it top of the world,
down on creation.

797
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:08,080
And the only explanation I could
find, it's the way you know, her

798
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,760
voice.
Their voice is just like, oh.

799
00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:13,320
It's so.
That's what I do.

800
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,200
The little subtle vibrato she
had in there was so it was so

801
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,280
subtle.
But if you don't do those

802
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,600
things, it doesn't come out
right.

803
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,240
You Can't Sing that song
straight.

804
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:27,520
Absolutely, absolutely.
So that's when that's how I

805
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:32,480
really rehearse my voice and my
music.

806
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,120
I try to look into when I'm
singing, you know, ballads and

807
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,600
mid tempo songs.
I try to use those tones and

808
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:46,200
techniques from those two
singers and and then I I get

809
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,960
jobs like left and right
internationally because their

810
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,160
ears are tuned to those type of
singers.

811
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Oh yeah.
So.

812
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,160
Nice.
So you found a, you found a

813
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,280
niche.
You found a niche.

814
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,560
That's awesome.
You found your space.

815
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,600
That's what it's all about,
right?

816
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,160
Finding that little spot you can
slide into like Danielle's back.

817
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,720
Yeah, yeah, we want her there to
go.

818
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,880
And my I think I've sung I will
always love you more than

819
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,520
Whitney ever could have sang
live.

820
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:23,520
And it was like did.
You hit it did do you nail it?

821
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,000
Do you nail it?
Course you does.

822
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:27,400
I.
I don't.

823
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,520
Know about now?
I haven't sung it in five years,

824
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,720
but I used to.
It's on YouTube.

825
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:37,200
You can see it.
You can see it on YouTube but it

826
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,880
was also one.
That's the.

827
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,040
Record deal.
And he called me at 8:00 in the

828
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,120
morning talking.
I heard you could sing Whitney

829
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,160
Houston singing.
And I was like, who is this

830
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,160
click?
And then he called right back

831
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,800
and I was like, OK, let me get
some water.

832
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,160
And I sang it.
And they were like.

833
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,880
Over that's a great story right
there.

834
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,240
Who is this hang up call back?
Let me.

835
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,280
Get some water.
I got hold on a second.

836
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,560
That's fantastic.
I did.

837
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,160
And that was it.
You just, you just sang Whitney

838
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,280
over the phone and boom, that's
awesome.

839
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,120
Yeah.
And then Savannah, the next, the

840
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,960
next week it was it.
Yeah, we're with.

841
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,280
Atlanta.
That's fantastic.

842
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,720
Yeah, yeah.
Now it did go under because it

843
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:24,040
was backed by a telemarketing
company.

844
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,800
It went under and so I had to
basically leave for Japan.

845
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,360
So, But other than that, you
know God has his own plan for

846
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,560
you all the time.
I almost guarantee you at that

847
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,360
moment in time they were selling
beepers and prepaid phone cards.

848
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,920
What?
It was a no two way at that time

849
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,960
the.
Oh, like the Nextel kind of set

850
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,560
up?
Yeah, that's, that's what they

851
00:48:55,560 --> 00:49:00,640
were saying, yeah.
They were like walkie talkies on

852
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,440
steroids.
Absolutely.

853
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:08,000
They sure what?
Actually, those things, Super

854
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,840
squirrel moment, those things
actually worked better than cell

855
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,480
phones still work to this day.
Wow.

856
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,760
I wish I still had mine.
They did.

857
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:17,760
You'll have mine.
Me too.

858
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,800
Don't we all?
No, let's talk about size.

859
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:26,080
Doesn't matter.
Now that is an anthem to men.

860
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,360
So I told you I had a booty song
for the ladies.

861
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,600
I figured.
I figured it was an anthem to

862
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:36,120
men.
It's like it's a subliminal

863
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:41,360
message is that it does not
matter how you know big you

864
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,520
think you may be.
If you don't know how to work it

865
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:49,040
in the IT doesn't matter.
You just got to have some.

866
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,640
It's right.
It's, it's kind of like, right.

867
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:53,960
It's kind of like singing a
song, right?

868
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,960
If you don't know how to sing
the song, it doesn't matter how

869
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,040
good the song could or or could
not be, because you don't know

870
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,560
how to deliver.
Exactly.

871
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:06,600
So that's and then I have one
for a big belly man.

872
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,000
So you know, and it's they're
all just like encouraging songs.

873
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,920
So the big man song I had wrote
for my boyfriend and he was

874
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,160
like, that ain't for me.
And I say listen to the music.

875
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:26,760
It's not about you being fat.
It's about that, ain't?

876
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:37,120
For me.
No, no, it was I did 4 versions

877
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:42,560
of that one which was the pop
version, EDM version, reggae

878
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:47,440
tone and the IT was one other
version.

879
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,200
I can't remember what it was,
but that was a very that was my

880
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:55,840
very first release on Jess Nick
Entertainment.

881
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,880
Yeah, OK.
So I did well though.

882
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,640
Yeah, I like the fact that you
that you released more than one

883
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,960
version.
That's a nice twist on, on on

884
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,720
your craft because then you're
you're able to like we talked

885
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:13,600
about, then you can go up and
down that dial, right?

886
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,840
Because you have the same song
with three or four different

887
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,040
versions, then it's going to fit
fit different styles and

888
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,160
different different listeners
are going to pick it up.

889
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,080
There's that back that booty
again.

890
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,160
So here's some merch.
She's she's.

891
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,520
Yeah, she's having a flash
shell, boys and girls.

892
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,440
Go buy some.
Go buy some of her merch, man.

893
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,720
You know, because you want to be
a Back That booty.

894
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,560
I may have to buy a back that
Booty shirt for my wife.

895
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:37,360
I'm just saying.
OK, I'll.

896
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,000
Make you just give me that that
address.

897
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,520
I'll see you.
Yeah, if you get an address in

898
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,200
Queen Creek, that's me, because
I'm buying a T-shirt for my wife

899
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,880
about backing up that booty.
She has a cute little booty, you

900
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,680
know, shouldn't have that Jlo
booty.

901
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,720
She's got a cute little booty,
but but you know, it's I don't.

902
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,120
Have one at all, It's a booty.
That I love, so there.

903
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,800
You go, there you go.
Love that booty.

904
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,640
Put that back, I guarantee.
You.

905
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,840
She'll make you happy.
Now we can put that song on.

906
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,320
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, she makes me happy

907
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,360
regardless so.
OK, let's go.

908
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,560
No discriminating against
booties.

909
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,160
No booty discrimination here
man, we love all the booties.

910
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,560
But we love them all.
You just, you know, I just got

911
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,760
to be, I got to love my wife's
booty, you know, like she loves

912
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,360
my booty.
She gives me, she want me sticky

913
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,920
note not too long ago that she
left on the mirror in the

914
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,800
morning when I got up says you
have a cute butt.

915
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,920
I was like, thank you.
You know, sticky notes, sticky

916
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,760
notes make people's day.
So you know your boyfriend, give

917
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,240
him a little sticky note every
now and then.

918
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:39,560
Just tell him something nice
about him.

919
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,920
And I guarantee you it's going
to just it's going to make his

920
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,560
day.
Little things like that.

921
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,800
Just we've been married.
We've been together 31 years.

922
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,600
So those little sticky notes we
write for each other on, on

923
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,760
randoms, you know, she was
having a bad day at work the

924
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,520
other day and I text her, you
know, how's your day going?

925
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,480
And then she's like, well, it's,
it's better now that I found

926
00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:01,240
you, not my lunch box.
So, you know, it's just little

927
00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:02,600
things.
Do little things like that with

928
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,520
with your significant other.
You'd be surprised how how far

929
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,680
it goes to help strengthen your
relationship and your friendship

930
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,080
because you have to have both,
right?

931
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,160
So, you know, let your man
understand you wrote that song

932
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,040
out of love.
Damn right.

933
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:18,800
Thank you.
Thank you for that.

934
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,440
Yes, absolutely.
Yep, Yep.

935
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,840
So in 2026 we're going to have a
tour.

936
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,720
International tour.
We're hoping right?

937
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,440
Yes, we.
Also and then.

938
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,720
I'm sorry.
Pimp all your stuff.

939
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:39,200
No, pimp all your stuff.
I want to know everything that

940
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,480
you're doing so we can get
everything rolling, rolling

941
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,040
forward.
So what else you got going?

942
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:49,400
OK, the tour, I have a few more
singles and then I'm releasing a

943
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,840
Blues album.
Hopefully.

944
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,200
I'm going to now, hopefully.
I'm almost finished.

945
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,520
You have to be Mr. Masters.
I have to record 2 songs, which

946
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,240
is a Natalie Cole song and a
Aretha Franklin song.

947
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,600
Those are only two that I'm
putting on there.

948
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,000
Two of my favorites.
Yeah, it's like, and I'm doing a

949
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,800
Aretha Franklin song that, you
know, most people do not have

950
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,520
ever heard of or have ever done
because Willie Nelson did it

951
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,920
first.
So I'm doing and I'm going to

952
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,320
put that out.
But before I put the Blues album

953
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:26,760
out, I'm putting a short film
out that's a Blues related.

954
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,640
And it's for my songs that are
on the album, but it's going to

955
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:37,360
be telling the story and how
nice the man is cheating on me.

956
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:42,320
I he gets caught, I'm waiting on
him to come home.

957
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,160
I put him out then I burn up his
post so.

958
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:50,880
Oh, nice.
Oh yeah, so and you also have

959
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,120
the documentary coming out about
the diamonds, right?

960
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,160
We have the documentary coming
out with the young, the ladies

961
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:01,200
and I am telling our story up in
the music business, touring, our

962
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,120
ups and downs.
We've been asked to do it as a

963
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,920
reality show.
I just don't like reality shows

964
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,400
because I don't like the drama
and negativity that they put on

965
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,960
most women and they have to
fight her, crack their eyeballs

966
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,840
out.
I just never wanted that.

967
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,160
They they told me, Oh no, we're
going to make it to where it's

968
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:25,000
like you guys maybe arguing.
No, you already know that

969
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,480
they're going to.
Turn it away.

970
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:29,960
Personal experience.
I personal.

971
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,360
You definitely aren't going to
like it.

972
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,640
Yeah, I got on one.
I got on one and there was down

973
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,680
to like the final 12 they wanted
and there was like 24 of us.

974
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,320
And kid you not, the producer
came up to me and this one guy

975
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:42,880
said, I need you guys to have
more drama.

976
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:44,520
And I'm like, what you talking
about?

977
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,400
He's like, I need you to do
this, this, this.

978
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,360
And as soon as it went rolling,
that dude started being an

979
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,920
asshole.
Everything I could do not to

980
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,200
step up and punch him in the
face, but I kind of let him do

981
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,040
his thing.
And then when it was cut, I

982
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,920
looked at him like,
motherfucker, there wasn't a

983
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,360
bunch of people in this room.
I would drop you.

984
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,560
And I looked up producer.
I said, I'm out, man.

985
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,440
Like I'm not playing this game.
You're not going to.

986
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,120
You're not going to come in to
destroy my character for your

987
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,000
ratings.
And I walked away.

988
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,440
The whole thing ended up falling
apart anyway.

989
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,640
But I feel you.
Good for you for not doing that,

990
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,000
because it is to me, reality TV
is bullshit.

991
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,240
It's made-up, it creates drama
that doesn't need to be there,

992
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,640
and then you create friction and
chaos and it.

993
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,920
It's everything but reality.
Right.

994
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,360
And there's that saying there's
no such thing as bad publicity,

995
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,240
but there is bad publicity.
If you're coming across as a

996
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:30,920
drama king or drama queen and
you're you're shredding somebody

997
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,880
just for ratings, that comes
back to you like that that that

998
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,200
comes back.
You can't chip away at

999
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,520
somebody's soul for ratings.
It doesn't work.

1000
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:39,760
Soapbox.
Sorry.

1001
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:44,720
Sorry, Yeah, thank you for
telling me because I felt, I

1002
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:47,440
keep feeling that in my
experience, like, no, I'm just

1003
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,400
going to finish the documentary.
We tell our story, we sell it on

1004
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:51,840
Netflix.
The tour.

1005
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,920
Good for you.
No, the tour is the end part of

1006
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,280
it, but we get with the the
first part of it, we're getting

1007
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,760
together, we're making this
thing work, rehearsals and all

1008
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,880
of that.
And then the tour and that's

1009
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:05,360
that's it.
Because no, I was like, I don't,

1010
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,600
I don't want to do it.
I just I.

1011
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:13,560
Just I, but I agree it's no I.
No, I admire you for not doing

1012
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:18,680
that because I like to do things
that I have not total control

1013
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,040
of.
But at least in this instance,

1014
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,240
Chris and I are the only ones
making the decisions.

1015
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,600
I trust him to make the same
great decision I'm going to

1016
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,680
make, right?
Or at least if we're going to

1017
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,720
agree to disagree, we're going
to do it respectfully.

1018
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,160
You have control of everything
you're doing right now.

1019
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,080
If you let that outside
influence in, like Chris said,

1020
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,480
then that just starts chipping
away at your soul and what you

1021
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,400
want for your vision.
Just keep doing what you're

1022
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:45,760
doing.
You're the master.

1023
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,080
You're the one that's got the
voice.

1024
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,040
Yeah, and like you said, you own
all your product, you own your

1025
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,400
masters, you do everything on
your own.

1026
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,040
So that's that's solid right
there.

1027
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,760
Bill, keep building your life
resume and keep creating a

1028
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,120
masterful legacy that people are
going to look up to for years

1029
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,480
and years and years.
Because just in this short

1030
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,280
amount of time, I'm going to go
buy your stuff.

1031
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,920
Especially I can't wait for the
Blues album.

1032
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:06,480
I want to hear.
I want to hear what you do with

1033
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,760
the Blues.
Man, that's my favorite, yeah.

1034
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,800
Yeah, So what I asked about.
That earlier, so I'm glad you're

1035
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:12,920
doing that.
Yeah.

1036
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:17,000
So sometime in 26, we want you
back on, even if you're

1037
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,440
overseas, because we've had
people on from Australia, from

1038
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,760
South Africa, from the United
Kingdom, doesn't matter where

1039
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,320
you're at, this platform, you
know, overcomes boundaries and

1040
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,080
borders and things like that.
So definitely once you come back

1041
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,320
on, especially after the Blues
thing hits, because then we're

1042
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,360
going to get it and we can talk
about that because it's, it's a,

1043
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,240
it's a powerful thing to be able
to sing the Blues even.

1044
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,200
And it it takes up a notch to me
with a female because, you know,

1045
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,960
again, the voice, the dynamics,
the range.

1046
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,880
Let me ask you this real quick.
How much have you listened to

1047
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,520
Beth Hart?
Beth Hardin.

1048
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,040
Beth Hart.
Hart.

1049
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,560
No, I, I don't know.
No, I have never, said Beth

1050
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:55,080
Hart.
But.

1051
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,800
I go listen to her sing with
Jeff Beck.

1052
00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:58,840
OK.
Oh.

1053
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,880
I love Jeff Beck.
I think you're going to get a

1054
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,920
lot of ideas that might help you
along the way if you have not

1055
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:10,040
recorded this Blues album yet.
She's one of my favorite Blues

1056
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,160
singers out there that a lot of
people don't know about her

1057
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,680
because she never went after the
fame and fortune, but she spent

1058
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,680
a lot of time playing with Jeff
Beck because he loved her voice.

1059
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,200
OK.
Yeah, Jeff Beck.

1060
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:24,720
I love Jeff Beck too.
Me too.

1061
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,000
See, we could just talk music
for hours because I told you,

00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:58,760
sad, depressed, suicidal, don't
do it.

1073
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:00,960
Go for a run, go scream in a
pillow.

1074
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,520
Go journal, go write, go work
out.

1075
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,280
Do something that's going to
change your mindset.

If you can't find somebody to
talk to, text 988.

you in it because someone does

love you.
They will miss you.

1080
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:13,920
Don't leave a hole in somebody
else's heart.
