211 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000 If so, who is one of your favorite artists? 212 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Leanne Le Havis, I think she's my favorite artist for now. 213 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000 I think she has the most beautiful, rich voice, 214 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,000 and she plays so brilliantly on the guitar, and her songs are great. 215 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000 I just love her. 216 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000 She's just so cool. 217 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000 And she doesn't sound like anybody else. 218 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,000 She's very unique. 219 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000 She's got her own sound. 220 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000 As soon as she opens her mouth, you know it's her. 221 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000 So she's wonderful. 222 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000 I love her. 223 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000 What do you think you'd be doing right now if it wasn't for music? 224 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000 Like if music wasn't an option, do you know what career path you'd be doing 225 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:37,000 or what you'd be doing in general? 226 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000 I don't actually, but I mean there are things that I'm quite interested in. 227 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000 I'm quite interested in herbs and herbalism and the healing power of herbs. 228 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,000 And I think that mostly would have been something I wouldn't have minded going into, 229 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000 although I think you need chemistry, which I'm not very good at, 230 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000 so I don't know how that would have worked. 231 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:15,000 But yeah, natural herbs, I think that's where I'd like to have gone. 232 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,000 And lastly, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today? 233 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:29,000 No, just keep up the fight. 234 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Well, I would like to thank Shadeh Amand for taking the time to come on the K-to-Gordon Saturday's Best Country Mix. 235 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000 We definitely appreciate your time and support, and thank you for taking the time to come on here today. 236 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000 We appreciate it. Thank you. 237 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Thank you very much. Thank you. 238 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,000 You are so welcome. Hello and welcome to the K-to-Gordon Saturday's Best Country Mix. 239 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000 Joining me right here today is Brad Ziffer. Brad, how are you doing today? 240 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000 Fine, thanks, Kaden. How are you doing? 241 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,000 I'm doing wonderful. Thanks so much for taking the time to come on the show. 242 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Sure, thanks for having me. 243 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:09,000 So why don't we get started, begin to know you a little bit, and how you got started in the music industry? 244 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:15,000 Well, you know, I got started in churches like Elvis and a lot of others. 245 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Since I was young, probably around the age of 10, I started doing music in church, and that really just got me comfortable being in front of people. 246 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:30,000 And over the years in school, I was in choir and, you know, singing in groups like that. 247 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:38,000 But it really wasn't until, I guess, the pandemic where I started releasing a lot of music out of my studio, and that got a lot of attention. 248 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:46,000 And then I started to get airplay. So as far as the music industry, I just started my own label, Starlux Records. 249 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000 But again, a lot of this just kind of started in the last couple of years. 250 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:57,000 But I've been singing for years, and I've been, you know, performing out and doing private events, funerals, weddings, all kinds of things. 251 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000 But like I said, really got started in church. 252 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:09,000 But the pandemic kind of really boosted things forward because I took the initiative to start recording stuff on my own. 253 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Is there something about music that you absolutely love about it, Brad? 254 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:24,000 Well, you know, I think music has the ability to initiate, you know, feelings and emotions. 255 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:31,000 And it allows people to kind of reminisce back to the times, you know, feel good times. 256 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000 And it's got a healing quality to it. 257 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:41,000 I think there's a lot of, you know, a lot of great qualities to music, other than just, you know, liking a song. 258 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000 You know, I think it is very therapeutic in so many ways. 259 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000 And I think that's the beauty of it. When you're feeling sad, it can be uplifting. 260 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000 Same thing, you know, whether you're depressed or just whatever, it puts you in a feel good mood. 261 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000 And I think that's really just a special thing. 262 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:06,000 Do you have any upcoming projects or singles you want to tell us a little bit about today? 263 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:13,000 Yeah, so I released Wildwood Days. That's a Bobby Rydell single. 264 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,000 I have a big love for Wildwood, and I put that single out. 265 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,000 So that's on all streaming and download platforms currently. 266 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:28,000 And I'm working on some other singles as well. Where Do I Begin from Love Story? 267 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:35,000 I did a duet with Ed Rambo. He's a singer from the 60s. 268 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,000 He had some hits, Summertime Guy and Concrete and Clay. 269 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:47,000 We've been working together, so we recorded My Kind of Town, and that'll be out on streaming and download soon. 270 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:56,000 And I'm working on a CD release as well, which will probably come out probably late summer, early fall. 271 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:04,000 And I also released Love, L-O-V-E, which was like a Valentine's Day kind of surprise for everybody. 272 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:11,000 And I just released it as a free single, but that'll also appear for digital download and streaming as well. 273 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:18,000 If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about? 274 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:29,000 About me? Well, as far as my qualities, like personality traits or something like that. 275 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,000 Yeah. Well, I'm just a kind of down to earth fun guy. 276 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,000 I have, gosh, yeah, I'm just an easy going down to earth kind of guy. 277 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:51,000 I'm creative. I just love just having fun being in the moment. 278 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000 But I don't know. I'm not really a super spontaneous guy. 279 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,000 But I get, you know, I love the beach. I love anything nautical. 280 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:06,000 So I think if the song had anything, it would probably be something related to the beach because everybody knows that I love the beach. 281 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,000 I'm always down to Wildwood Crest. In fact, I'm down here right now in Wildwood Crest. 282 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000 But yeah, yeah, I don't know. Never really thought about that. 283 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:23,000 But I'm an easy going guy, kind of relaxed, kind of like, you know, Jimmy Buffett when he writes those songs, 284 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000 you know, like the tropical island songs, you know, it's very laid back. 285 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:35,000 I feel like that's that would be like a style that I would I'd relate to. 286 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:42,000 What do you like doing aside in music? Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that, Brad? 287 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Yeah. So I like art. I love drawing. I used to do T-shirt design and I used to sell shirts. 288 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000 This was years ago. I used to use fabric paint and design. 289 00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:00,000 And when I was in school, I was in advanced art classes and things like that. 290 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:07,000 But, you know, hobbies like I enjoy nature. Like I said, I enjoy everything nautical. I enjoy walking on the beach. 291 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000 I love photography. I have a couple of different cameras that I use. 292 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,000 And whenever I'm out, I'll just take spontaneous photos. And I have a drone. 293 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000 In fact, I have two drones and I'll send them up, especially when I'm down the shore. 294 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000 I love getting those shots of the bay or the ocean and some really cool angles. 295 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,000 And what I do is I kind of intertwine those videos in with my music. 296 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000 So like if you go on YouTube, you'll you'll see some of that. 297 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:41,000 My covers have the nautical backing to them. But, yeah, just, you know, like I said, art, nature, 298 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,000 you know, maybe traveling, visiting different spots I haven't seen before. 299 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:51,000 I'd like to travel more. I don't really do it a whole lot. 300 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:57,000 Walk me through a somewhat typical day of Brad Ziffer. 301 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:03,000 You know, well, so I do voiceovers. That's one of my main my main gigs. 302 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Voice over can be pretty demanding. So I usually get up eight, eight thirty. 303 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000 I'm right away doing auditions. I'm working on projects for clients in my studio. 304 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,000 I might do a directed session with with a client. 305 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,000 Yeah, that usually takes me all the way through, you know, five o'clock and beyond. 306 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Sometimes I'm on call beyond that for clients. And then late at night, I'll usually if I'm going to record something, 307 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000 I'll usually work on something in the later hours to a cover, whatnot. 308 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Or sometimes I have to, you know, break, leave the studio. 309 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000 I may have to do a performance or do something like that and then come back. 310 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,000 But, you know, for voiceover, I'm always on call over the years. 311 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,000 I've been doing it for 14 years now and I'm pretty high demand at this point. 312 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000 So I've got tons of Fortune 500 clients and all kinds of people reaching out to me. 313 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000 So it's it's a great gig. I mean, I love it. I love being creative. 314 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,000 But, yeah, it keeps you on call like a doctor all day long. 315 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:13,000 For sure, for sure. Now, do you do like audio books or are you in like TV shows or where can people find your work? 316 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000 Yeah, so well, you could check out my website, Brad Ziffer.com. 317 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000 I have some things up there. I've got some demos and some other samples. 318 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:28,000 But, you know, I've been doing it for so long. Yeah, I mean, I'm all over TV, the web radio. 319 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000 I've done the voice of Simpson Strongtie, 320 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000 the Avantis Credit Union, the voice of Batman for DC Kids, 321 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000 one of a couple of voices they kind of wrote. What's that? 322 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,000 I said I could see that. I don't know. It's just something about your voice, your deep, deep voice. 323 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,000 Sorry to interrupt you, but I just wanted to make that call that. 324 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,000 Yeah, you know, I guess I have a bit of that gravitas, like, you know, gruff. 325 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000 I do a lot of outdoor stuff. I do stuff for Harbor Freight, for Home Depot. 326 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:08,000 Yeah, I mean, it really depends. I can change my voice depending on the style, kind of like with music. 327 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:13,000 You know, I can do something a little bit lighter, a little more upbeat, or I could go into an Elvis cover 328 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,000 and, you know, kind of get that growl, go on that lower end stuff. So it helps. 329 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000 It helps in music and in voiceover to kind of have that flexibility. 330 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,000 For sure. That way you're not just like one individual in one voice. 331 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,000 Yes. Yeah, with music, I try to bring the essence of the artist. 332 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,000 You know, not that I'm trying to copy, but I like to try to, you know, bring a little bit of that essence to it, 333 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000 that familiarity, you know. 334 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:47,000 If you had one message to tell anyone that might be listening right now, what would that message be, Brad? 335 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:55,000 Don't give up. Stay on the course. If you have a passion for something, just keep at it. 336 00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:01,000 You know, don't give up your dream, no matter what it is. You know, trust, keep pushing for it. 337 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000 A lot of people that want to do voiceover, you know, they start out, they might not book work, 338 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000 but you know, you keep at it long enough, you'll start booking and then just get the ball rolling from there. 339 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:16,000 But yeah, I feel it's important to just, you know, pursue your passions and just don't give up and have faith in yourself. 340 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,000 I think a lot of people doubt, you know, their abilities and they doubt what they're capable of. 341 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:28,000 But if you believe in yourself and just go for it, I think, you know, anything's possible. 342 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,000 Absolutely. And you're never going to know until you try. That's what I like to say. 343 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,000 So, yes, yes, exactly. 344 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:45,000 Absolutely. Now, Brad, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today? 345 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,000 Well, you know, just that, I mean, I could talk about my studio. 346 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:56,000 I'm so passionate about music production outside of singing and voiceovers. 347 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:06,000 I just love spending time in my studio. So I love the whole art, you know, the whole process of the recording process, the mixing, the mastering. 348 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000 It's just fascinating. And I collect a lot of boutique gear. 349 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:18,000 So I have a whole collection of things in my studio, but, you know, I'm always open to collaborating or to mixing someone's projects or doing some light mastering work. 350 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,000 So if anybody's out there is interested, please, you know, let me know. I'd be happy to help you out. 351 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000 I love doing duets with other artists as well. So that's something cool, too. 352 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,000 But like I said, the studio, the whole process just really fascinates me. 353 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:42,000 And also, I guess I could touch on I'll be performing this summer in Wildwood Crest and Wildwood. 354 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:49,000 One of my usual spots is the Caribbean Motel in Wildwood. I've got a couple of gigs lined up there. 355 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:56,000 Lapiazza Cucina is Joey M's restaurant. I'll be performing down there in Wildwood a couple of times. 356 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:04,000 And Goodfellas Club in Queens. I'll be there at some point and I'll post dates online so you can definitely catch those. 357 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,000 Check out my Facebook, YouTube channel. I'll be posting things everywhere. 358 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,000 But you can find me on TikTok, on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. 359 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000 Just look up either my name, Brad Ziffer, or Brad Ziffer Productions. 360 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,000 But I'm all over the place and I've got tons of music for free. I've put out like 60 plus songs. 361 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000 You can please share them, enjoy them. They're meant to be there to be enjoyed. 362 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,000 Yeah, so I think that covers a good chunk of it. 363 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:40,000 Brad Ziffer, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the Kayden Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. 364 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000 We definitely appreciate your time and support, so thank you. 365 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000 Thank you, Kayden. Appreciate it. 366 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,000 Hello and welcome to the Kayden Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. 367 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000 Joining me right here today is Emma Rhee. Emma, how are you? 368 00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:01,000 Hi, I'm a little bit tired at the moment, but overall I'm doing great. Thanks for having me. 369 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,000 Of course. And isn't it like 1 a.m. or something there right now? 370 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000 Yes, 1 a.m. Really late. 371 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:14,000 Yeah, well we definitely appreciate your time coming on here, considering the time difference. We appreciate that. 372 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000 Yes, it's no problem. 373 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:24,000 So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in music. 374 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:31,000 Yes, I started singing. That's a great question. 375 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:52,000 I started writing for as long as I can remember, actually. But I started writing about maybe five years ago, and then I go further and making music and now I have two singles out. So a long way. 376 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,000 What is it about music that you absolutely love about it, Emma? 377 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:10,000 I love writing about music. Normally I write so when I'm feeling down, when I have a lot of emotions because I'm a very emotional person, I love to write it all down. 378 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:21,000 So it's very intense for me. So it's kind of a healing process maybe. So that's what I love about it. 379 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:27,000 What upcoming singles or projects do you want to tell us a little bit about today? 380 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:39,000 Upcoming, not really. My second single just released about a month ago, but nothing real upcoming. 381 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:47,000 What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music, whether that be writing, singing, performing, what would you tell them, Emma? 382 00:34:47,000 --> 00:35:02,000 Just do it. Don't wait for it. Just do it. Start writing, singing, contacting people. Don't wait around. 383 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:09,000 What do you like doing aside in music? Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that? 384 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:22,000 My hobby is actually singing, writing, but I'm a student, so I don't really have any hobbies. 385 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,000 Where do you see yourself in the next couple of years or where do you want to be? 386 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:42,000 I hope that I have a lot of new singles, maybe an album, maybe a concert. I don't know. I hope. 387 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:49,000 If someone wants to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about? 388 00:35:49,000 --> 00:36:03,000 That's a good question. I hope something sweet or nice about me, maybe a love song. I don't know. 389 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:14,000 I hope nothing mad or anger about me. 390 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:23,000 If you had an opportunity to play at any venue or go anywhere in the world to play, where would you go and why? 391 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:39,000 I don't know. I didn't see that coming. I would start just in Belgium in Sport Palace. I don't know if you know it. 392 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:46,000 It's really big, so that's the only thing that comes to mind right now. 393 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:52,000 If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you? 394 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000 For my music, you mean? 395 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000 Yes. 396 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:11,000 On YouTube, on Spotify, on my Facebook page, Instagram page. I think that's it. Yes. 397 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:18,000 If you had one message to tell anyone that might be listening right now, what would you tell them, Emma? 398 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:27,000 A little bit the same as before. Just do it. Don't wait around because you have to do it yourself. 399 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:33,000 And that definitely goes with any type of thing that you're trying to pursue in life. 400 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,000 Yes. Everything you want, you have to do it. 401 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,000 Walk me through a somewhat typical day of Emmery. 402 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:52,000 A typical day? I don't know. It's so different every day. 403 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:59,000 Sometimes I go to the studio, so I wake up, I eat breakfast, I get ready. 404 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:07,000 Then, or I go to school, or I go to the studio, then I come home, I write a little bit. 405 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Then I try to eat something, I go to bed, and mostly when I'm in bed, there is some inspiration, and then I need to write it down. So, late nights every day. 406 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,000 I bet you're used to it, considering that you're doing one right now as we speak. 407 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000 Yes, indeed. 408 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:39,000 What's funny is that you mentioned that. A lot of people get their inspiration in the middle of the night. 409 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:45,000 I see it in a lot of musicians. I find that interesting. 410 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:52,000 Yes. I don't know how it works. It's just when you're doing nothing, you want to go to bed, it just hits. 411 00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:02,000 You need to write it down, because when you wake up in the morning, you don't remember it. So, you need to write it down somewhere, or you'll forget. 412 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:09,000 I've heard people grab their phone and literally record a melody to it. I've heard people do that as well. 413 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,000 Yes. Yes, me too. 414 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:26,000 I've heard it, I've seen it, it's been done. 415 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:36,000 If you were to tell us one hidden talent about yourself, would you be able to answer that question? In other words, do you have a hidden talent? 416 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:48,000 I don't know. I haven't heard from someone that I have a hidden talent. 417 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:58,000 No, not that I can tell you right now. Nothing comes to mind. 418 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:09,000 If you could open for any artist, who would you choose and why? 419 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:24,000 Maybe Adele or someone like Jessie J, because she's a really good singer, so that would be amazing. 420 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,000 You have some good choices. 421 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:33,000 Yeah, I hope so. 422 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:42,000 Was there someone that inspired you to start doing music, Emma? 423 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000 I would say Jessie J as well. 424 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:59,000 I would say Lady Gaga a little bit. They sing so amazing. 425 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Awesome. Emma, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today? 426 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:17,000 Maybe that my new single is out, Broken Records. Yeah, that's about it. 427 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:26,000 Well, Emma, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the KD Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. We definitely appreciate your time and support for being with us today. 428 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000 Thank you for having me. 429 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:36,000 Hello and welcome to the KD Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. Joining me right here today is Gordon Bamford. Gordon, how are you? 430 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:42,000 I'm doing great. And yourself? I am wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to come on the show today. 431 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000 You betcha. 432 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:50,000 So let's get started. Begin to know you a little bit and how you got started in the music industry. 433 00:41:50,000 --> 00:42:06,000 You know, I got into it, I guess, almost 20 years ago. I won a talent contest. I was back in the 90s when, you know, real talent Jackson, Garth Brooks, you know, Tim McGraw, you know, kind of cowboy hat country and won a contest. 434 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:28,000 And I took off from there and then I got discovered by a guy, Nashville, by the name of Byron Hale, who produced Gary Allen and wrote the hits for George Straits. And yeah, kind of a rest of history after that. Just kind of took off and had lots of success writing songs and making music. It's been an awesome ride so far. 435 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:35,000 Is there something about music that made you want to start doing it? Is there something about it that you enjoy? 436 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:51,000 You know, I just got into music as a young guy because I love country music, you know, and then I started singing when I was young, very young, music festivals in schools and stuff like that. But I actually wanted to be a baseball player. I didn't even, I never dreamed I was going to get to where I'm at today. 437 00:42:51,000 --> 00:43:07,000 You know, I started to sing and play a bit of music and found that I was pretty good at it. And it's kind of, it wasn't one of those things and this is what I'm going to do, you know, it just kind of happened, you know, and I'm really happy that it did. 438 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:15,000 What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music, whether that be writing, singing, performing, what would you tell them? 439 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:28,000 I mean, just it sounds cliche, but just chase what you want to do. If that's what you want to do, you can do it. I mean, it's all, I mean, you got to have talent, but I mean, songwriting is a craft. I mean, you can, you can learn how to write songs. 440 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:40,000 I mean, it's something you can do. Anybody can do it if they have good teachers and they're willing to learn. But yeah, you know, if you have a dream out there and you want to do whatever you want to do, you just got to go after it and anything's possible. 441 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,000 Do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit about today? 442 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:55,000 Yeah, we just released a brand new record called Canadian Dirt. Actually, actually it's called Fired Up, but we're on the Canadian Dirt too over here in Head to Australia pretty quick to put it there. 443 00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:07,000 And yeah, we're just, you know, since the last few years that we all went through, it's just been kind of crazy. It's been nothing but, you know, touring, people want to come on to shows and yeah, the record's doing really good. 444 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:21,000 And we're getting into new markets, you know, talking to new people like yourself. And that's been exciting for exciting times with the way you can, you know, listen to music these days and find artists that, you know, you necessarily never heard of, but just, you know, streaming something. 445 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:31,000 So it's been great to get into different markets and we're really excited about this new project we're marketing and launching at the moment. 446 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:37,000 What do you like doing at SNA Music, Gord? Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that? 447 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:56,000 Well, I got three kids, so they keep us busy. They're playing all sorts of sports and, you know, we live out on the lake and I'm an outdoors guy. I like all the outdoor stuff and, you know, getting stuff for my family and you're never chasing kids around the ball by me. So that's what we do in our spare time. 448 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:03,000 If you had an opportunity to play anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? 449 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:16,000 Well, I've kind of been everywhere really. I mean, I've been to lots of places in Europe and haven't done a lot of US dates, you know, so New York would be really cool to play. The big city, the big apple. So that would be definitely one of them. 450 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,000 Walk me through a typical day of Gord Bamford. 451 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:41,000 It's pretty much what everybody would do, you know, any normal person. Get up, have coffee, have breakfast, get the kids from school, check the emails, do your work and, you know, look forward to what you got to plan for the future. It's pretty simple. 452 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,000 If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you? 453 00:45:46,000 --> 00:46:07,000 Yeah, just our website, gordbamford.com and on Instagram, we're on Twitter and Facebook and everything you want to know about me is at gordbamford.com and on our website. And we do everything in house. We book our own shows. We do everything. So it's direct to the source and that's a message for sure. 454 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:14,000 What do you think you'd be doing right now if it wasn't for music? Like if music wasn't an option, what career path would you go down? What do you think you'd be doing right now? 455 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:39,000 I'm not really, you know, I'm not sure. Probably I'd like to coach. I'd like to be involved in that sort of stuff. I grew up on a farm. You know, probably something in some sort of trade or maybe I'm, you know, I kind of like everything. So I'm not quite sure what I'd do. I think probably something involved with people for sure. But I'm glad I'm being what I'm being right now. 456 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:46,000 If you had an opportunity to do let or collaborate with any singer, who would you choose and why? 457 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,000 You know, I've toured with Reba. 458 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,000 Oh, you have. 459 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:56,000 I have. Yeah. So it would be love to collaborate with her one day. She would be awesome. 460 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:06,000 I will say that is a really, really good choice. And, you know, you have an advantage more than most people, I would say, because you toured with her. So how was that experience? Just out of curiosity. 461 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:27,000 It was awesome. She's a classy lady and there were a lot of dates in Canada with her and some actually when we were living in Nashville and, you know, gotten to be friends with her and she's been very good to me. She's a classy lady. So it was quite a bucket list thing for me. So it was a lot of fun. 462 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:34,000 If you had one message to those who might be listening right now, Gord, what would you tell them? 463 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:43,000 Yeah, I mean, anything possible. I mean, I got into this business because I wanted to just make a living at it and that's worked. I never imagined it was going to get to this level. 464 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:56,000 So, I mean, we kind of set our goals for certain stages and then we try and get better at it. So, I mean, anything you do in life is possible. You just got to work hard and believe in what you're doing. 465 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,000 I definitely agree with that, Gord. 466 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,000 Yeah, for sure. 467 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:08,000 Did you have someone that inspired you to start doing music? 468 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:19,000 Yeah, you know, I mean, my mom and dad, like I was born in Australia. My mom and dad still when I was five. My mom's from Canada. So my dad's still over there. I'm a dual citizen and we've been, we're head and their place. 469 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:38,000 But they were always involved. They always love music and they always have music playing and probably been a little band here and there. And so that's probably part of it. But back when I got started with Merle Haggard, I was kind of a big guy with the bag and the great songwriting and simplicity of it. 470 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:45,000 And I just love the genre and music. 471 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:51,000 If you have a hidden talent, if so, what do you think that talent would be? 472 00:48:51,000 --> 00:49:04,000 I don't know. Probably. Like I said, I like to play sports and I was pretty good at most sports. But, you know, I don't know if I have a hidden talent or not. But I don't really have any. 473 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:11,000 And lastly, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today? 474 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:20,000 Well, it's awesome. Check out the new music, gordbamford.com and we got a new single over and out called Fired Up. So we'll do it. 475 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:29,000 Gord Bamford, thank you so much for taking the time to communicate in Gordon Saturday's best country mix. We appreciate your time and support and thanks for the time. 476 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:44,000 Me too. Thanks a lot. 477 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:14,000 Why? 478 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:29,000 You ain't turning back. You've come this far. 479 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:45,000 Don't you give up so easily. Get yourself up on your feet. You ain't ready. You ain't ready to quit. 480 00:50:45,000 --> 00:51:07,000 Don't think about running away. No, some things you're gonna have to face. Can't deny what's inside of you. Do what you've got to do. 481 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:22,000 Another situation. Find yourself again. Stand up and stake your claim. Do what you gotta do. You gotta fight for what you know to be right. 482 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:38,000 Turn your dark side. Don't want to be a fading star. 483 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:53,000 I know who you are. Another question is, do you know who you are? 484 00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:12,000 Don't shy away from the fire. Don't you shy away. Take the wrong, make it right. Turn your darkness to light. Don't want to be a fading star. 485 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:24,000 Fight, fight. Don't shy away. Don't shy away. 486 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:43,000 Don't shy away. Don't shy away. 487 00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:16,000 Spring will soon be gone. Summer's coming on. And I'm dreaming of lots of summer love. 488 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:29,000 And all I think about after school is out. Heading down the shore to have a ball once more. 489 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:46,000 Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, those wildwood days. Wild, wild, wildwood days. Oh, baby, every day's a holiday. And every night is a Saturday night. 490 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:59,000 Wild, wild, wildwood days. And then those party lights. Wild, wild, wildwood nights. Say, baby, you'll be mine. Wildwood days. 491 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:22,000 Cause it's kissing time. Wildwood days. Gonna twist again. Wildwood days. Like remember when. Sleeping on the beach. Wildwood days. Seven days a week. Wildwood days. Rocking every night. Wildwood days. Till the early bright. 492 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:37,000 Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, those wildwood days. Wild, wild, wildwood days. Oh, baby, every day's a holiday. And every night is a Saturday night. 493 00:54:37,000 --> 00:55:03,000 Oh, those wildwood days. Wild, wild, wildwood days. And then those party lights. Wild, wild, wildwood nights. 494 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:17,000 Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, those wildwood days. Wild, wild, wildwood days. Oh, baby, every day's a holiday. And every night is a Saturday night. 495 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:33,000 Oh, those wildwood days. Wild, wild, wildwood days. And then those party lights. Wild, wild, wildwood nights. 496 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:48,000 We'll be back soon on the Kaden Gordon Show. Today's best country mix.
