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

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

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.
315
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,000
And we are on your YouTube page
now.
316
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,080
So boys and girls.

There's a Donnelly, Don

00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,120
I like that.
Right.
321
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,320
Diamond of Souls.
So, yeah, boys and girls, go
322
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,240
check out her video.
Now.
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

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

change your mindset.

talk to, text 988.
