I had a record 14 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,440 company who gave me a deal and a 15 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,560 bit famous band took me up and then we started and later on I 16 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:18,440 went a lot of live shows and well, it's always the grass is growing all the time and like saying 17 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,240 so I mean 18 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,840 It's music. It's in yeah, it's in your veins and you love it and you never stop with it 19 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:32,520 so that's why I took it second chance and more chances to get more records out and 20 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:40,720 Well, I'm going next week for the third single and so on. So I hope to get a nice album together 21 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,160 And that's a bit of story. I got my 22 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,680 My bass player Don Skiff is based in California 23 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,160 and 24 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,160 while the last 25 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,160 singer-songwriter 26 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,480 Producer is David Hershey's in Liverpool. So we're all over the place and 27 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,000 Since we have the internet and then studios we can send our 28 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:12,440 Products to each other and well, we mix it and then we have a nice record out. So it's going for the lifetime 29 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,120 Come together and play life. That's what the plan is 30 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,120 with this band 31 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,440 If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about? 32 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,480 Um 33 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,920 I 34 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:37,480 Didn't get really that question if somebody is going to write a song about me 35 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,480 Yes, what would they write about? I 36 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,880 Think the passion and I think 37 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,720 the way of how I sing probably and 38 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,280 like to be a good person good for another person and 39 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,760 Well have it all on the on the good spot and I think it's maybe it's a little bit 40 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,560 cliche, but 41 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,280 Well, hey, whatever to be a good person. I think it's not really to be shamed of so I 42 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,800 Think it would be like that but 43 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,720 Well, did the guy who was having fun in the music and all this passion is there 44 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,240 So that's I think it gets a bit around that 45 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,320 Do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit about 46 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440 Yeah, there's a new single coming baby blue and 47 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:32,000 It's 48 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,480 It's guessing a bit. It's it's more like 49 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,520 Someone loves the other one and it's all about love and I think we miss a bit 50 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,840 Really the love on each other at this moment because we're fighting and fussing and doing things 51 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,240 Well international everywhere. So it's a bit scary and I 52 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,600 Hope everybody gets a bit in a row and and does it a bit better? So a good love song and a good 53 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,600 Opportunity 54 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,720 To do to have each other on a good side? 55 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,560 Probably is a good way to do 56 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,280 but baby blue is 57 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,400 Well, it's a nice new thing. The other one walked me through the fire was with Tully Winfield and Don Skriven 58 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,520 Lance Matthew, it's more for me cover. I asked Don 59 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,120 Do you have a sound a song for me?

I like to say my dad's way my parents are way cooler than I am 124 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,600 So I grew up in a house full of noise, which was awesome 125 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,200 And you know, i've been musically studying for vocally for about 20 years 126 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,960 And dabbling in guitar and music theory and piano 127 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,880 But it really wasn't until a few years ago that I just said, you know what you get one life 128 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,960 You get one spin one shot at this 129 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,960 And i'm going to put the blinders on and start sharing my music publicly 130 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:41,880 And my career which is crazy to explain to people really has been in television in consumer technology my background and degree 131 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,520 I'm a total nerd has been in it and working on some of the biggest tv shows showcasing the newest technologies 132 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,720 So when people had heard that I was like putting out music 133 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,200 And it was like starting a whole other career while I was still working in my tech career 134 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,720 They were like what what is going on? And I was like, you know what again you have one chance at life 135 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,640 And I think there's so many of us that have this side passion and this hobby and it's 136 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,480 For me, the music is so vulnerable because one of my favorite aspects of music creation is the songwriting process 137 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,520 And it's a lot of things about my life and I put it out there and you know started 138 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,120 Really just working with some of the most amazing producers 139 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:28,760 In nashville and the most amazing co-writers and bringing this music to life and every single song has been such a journey 140 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,920 But for me publicly sharing it all has really been only in the last few years 141 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,520 Which is pretty wild even though i've studied so so intensely over over decades 142 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:45,400 If someone wants to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about? 143 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:52,600 I might actually say it would be a song called the one that I already had that my country debut 144 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,920 Which was called renaissance lady because it is kind of this empowerment song 145 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,120 It's for my girls out there and I always like to say we love our men 146 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,800 We sure do but renaissance lady was a song that I wrote that says you know what like go after it 147 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,440 You can be everything that maybe you saw 148 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,080 In somebody that inspired you or a boyfriend or a guy you were dating or somebody that 149 00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:15,800 Really had you in awe you can be that too 150 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,000 So renaissance lady has always been kind of anthemic if you will just kind of an anthem to 151 00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:26,520 I guess a little bit to who I am and with with no ego and with humility but saying you know what go 152 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,880 go after your dreams and go after everything that you wanted to be because 153 00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:34,440 You can you can be everything that you wanted to be all gone at work 154 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:43,240 What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music whether that be songwriting singing?

You have to hit the button at some point 161 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,960 It's never going to be good enough. And for me, it's really just like 162 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,700 Kind of focusing on how like jesus didn't want anyone to be perfect. He doesn't expect perfection 163 00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:23,260 and to just go for 164 00:13:24,140 --> 00:13:28,780 The sending it out there and putting the blinders on people won't like it people will love it 165 00:13:28,860 --> 00:13:35,740 Most people will love it.

00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,360 About this project versus my other projects 618 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:10,360 And don't get me wrong, I love working on my other projects and helping other artists 619 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,360 But there's something about this one in particular 620 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,360 I think it's because they're young 621 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,360 And they're following their passion 622 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,360 And their mom, Maya, shout out to Maya by the way 623 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,360 She is very supportive for the kids 624 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,360 And I love that 625 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:38,360 I mean, I think having her to guide them 626 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,360 And to be their biggest cheerleader is important 627 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:45,360 So to anyone that's listening out there, shout out to the moms, am I right? 628 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:49,360 And Ivy too, Ivy Lundin over at 629 00:53:49,360 -->

Where some work it evolves to be 644 00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:01,360 Something that artists like to hear and see 645 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:07,360 It's all in a package and ready to go 646 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:13,360 It will create some smiles in every show 647 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:19,360 It has a bunch of letters blended to make meaning 648 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:28,360 It also has some eyes to clarify every screen 649 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:33,360 Where it starts, nobody knows 650 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:39,360 Where it departs in every life we show 651 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:47,360 This growth can be endless even into outer space 652 00:55:47,360 --> 00:56:05,360 It is something we can use to warp us in our pace 653 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:11,360 It also takes a mix in where a man sits in his chair 654 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:16,360 It even goes home with him where he brightens it with flame 655 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:22,360 It wisps into a world where tones and tunes are added in 656 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:30,360 It heightens every element that builds its base from within 657 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:36,360 Where it starts, nobody knows 658 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:42,360 Where it departs in every life we show 659 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:50,360 This growth can be endless even into outer space 660 00:56:50,360 --> 00:57:08,360 It is something we can use to warp us in our pace 661 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:13,360 It comes from the work that forever fits those four 662 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:19,360 Who stand, sit or hover above the floor 663 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:31,360 It makes it real and wonderful for each and every 664 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:38,360 What do you call it when it sounds out right here? 665 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:42,360 It flies full and flat once it's complete and whole 666 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:49,360 It complements efforts to touch every part of the soul 667 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:54,360 Its first step cannot be varied 668 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:59,360 It's planted in a batch to remain tary 669 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:05,360 Its second step is to fly through the air 670 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:11,360 In the back of a plane to a stoop or a stair 671 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:17,360 It finally lands and stops moving 672 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:28,360 It waits for the master to see it improving 673 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:34,360 Where it starts, nobody knows 674 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:40,360 Where it departs in every life we show 675 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:48,360 This growth can be endless even into outer space 676 00:58:48,360 -->

looked at me 709 01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,360 But turned your face so I couldn't see 710 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,360 As if maybe to justify 711 01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,360 That you were already taken 712 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,360 But then I took a second glance 713 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,360 And I came to this realization 714 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,360 You put your hand in your pocket 715 01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,360 So the world wouldn't know 716 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,360 That you just lost your man 717 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,360 And you have no ring to show 718 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,360 And though you walked along with a child at your side 719 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,360 Everyone thinks you have a man 720 01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:21,360 All you got left to you now is an empty hand 721 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,360 The expression's written all over your face 722 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,360 Your look can feel right out of place 723 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,360 You feel as if all eyes are on you 724 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,360 Because being alone ain't easy to do 725 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,360 You put your hand in your pocket 726 01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,360 So the world wouldn't know 727 01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,360 That you just lost your man 728 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,360 And have no ring to show 729 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,360 And though you're really such a beautiful thing 730 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,360 And that's why you caught my eye 731 01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,360 We stared at each other 732 01:03:54,360 --> 01:04:00,360 But it was only seconds we were eye to eye 733 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,360 You put your hand in your pocket 734 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,360 So the world wouldn't know 735 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,360 That you just lost your man 736 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,360 And have no ring to show 737 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,360 And though you walked along with a child at your side 738 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,360 Everyone thinks you have a man 739 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:23,360 All you got left to you now 740 01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:27,360 Is an empty hand 741
