slide all right Let that one slide keep writing
the music but uh But no we got you on the podcast
today. I know you had reached out It was about
a month ago if I'm not mistaken and I was pretty
like freaked out. Who's sending me an email?
I rarely get emails. Everybody hits me up on
messenger or or they just call the call the office
phone and we we mentioned them because I try
calling back ASAP. But when I got the email,
you gave me all the information you got. I mean,
Jesus, who is this guy? I got to check this guy

before we get in all that good stuff, man. Tell
us a little bit greedy about yourself, man. Where
you grew up, where you came from, and how we
got into the business. Claro. So I am from Mission,
Texas, home of the mighty Mission Eagles, Tom
Landry, the Detmers, and the Taylors, Jamar Taylor,
the man Irvin Taylor. Shout out to my buddies.
Outstanding football players, right? You were
mentioning football, Arita. Anyways, graduated
from Mission High School. One thing I always
like to point out is while I was in high school
from ninth grade all the way to eleventh grade,
I think. we were migrant workers so I never had
like a summer to enjoy myself. Right, right,
right. That's how we made our money, right? Pay
your dues, pay your dues. Take care of the family.
Yeah. And then once I graduated high school,
here I thought I was gonna go play college ball,
you know how you think? Oh, well, yeah. Until
you go up north and like, yeah, you know you're
not gonna play college ball. That reality hit
me. What are they feeding you, dude? You know,
they're a lot faster up there. That reality hit
me. And my time, the rest of my time in college
was I was just effing around. Right. Right. Right.
I was spending money that my family didn't have.
Right. I was calling home every so often for,
you know, we grew up poor. Right. I hear you.
So one day. Get in the car, let's go to the house.
Fast forward, I met my son's mom. We're not married
anymore. I joined the Marine Corps because I
really didn't have any direction I was going
to provide for my family. I was still trying
to figure things out, but I went right away to
make a kid without even having everything. I
joined the Marine Corps in another... One of
the better things that I ever did in my life.
You know, I never regret joining the Marines.
Now, when I went to boot camp, I was regretting.
What am I doing here? It was hard for me to adapt.
It was a right. I thought I had a hard life.
Boot camp was man. Oh, excuse me. A whole different
a whole different experience. Yeah, it's shocked
in all my. Yeah, I got you. I got you. Did five
years in the Marine Corps. I get out of the Marine
Corps, went back out. Worked for the U .S. government
as a private military contractor. Worked Iraq,
Afghanistan, I think eight years total. Oh, okay.
And conflict. I mean, we're protecting U .S.
diplomats. Thank you. Thank you for your service,
man. Thank you for your service. No, no, no.
Thank you for the thank yous. And during my time
and when I was in the Marines and even as a contractor,
I was already writing music. Right. But all that
came from my dad. My dad, rest in peace, he was
a music composer. Really? I have a lot of CDs.
my dad would have his friends record his music
in the 80s, 90s, early 2000s. But it was never,
it never materialized to be something commercial
on the radios. Now my dad would go to Reynosa
and buy his little one hour segment at the radio
station, AM radio station. So it was his time
and all he would push out there, he would take
the time to push out all his original music.
I know my mom always tells me, you know your
dad is well known in Reynosa because of his time
in the radio over there. So he's got a big following
over there as far as his music, his compositions.
Now that I'm here singing music that I write,
I also have the honor to sing for both my dad
and myself because I sing a lot of his songs
that he wrote that are mine. And now I'm in the
little short time. not saying it in an arrogant
manner. I think I've accomplished things that
my dad wanted to have done with his music. Right.
So I'm kind of achieving things for the both
of us. Right. Right. You know, that's the reality
of how I see it. I think I'm doing this for my
dad, too. I got you. I got you. Yeah. It feels
amazing. The Pura Vida Music Awards in San Antonio.
I ended up winning and getting recognized for
a single of the year for Soldado Liciado. Wow.
And that song my father wrote. Oh, there you
go. I wrote that song. And really, when they
said my name, Raul was there. He recorded the
whole thing. I was crying, man, like literally
crying. It wasn't like, oh, let's let's act the
crying. Right. It hit me because my dad wrote
the song. Yeah, like my dad just got his recognition.
That's how I felt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
felt elated and I felt I couldn't believe it.
Right. Right. And so, you know, you know, I had
a young kid when my dad, I would hear him sing
when he would write. I did not know that during
those moments when I was younger, it was kind
of being embedded in me because now I write.
There you go. A lot of my music. And now I took
that leap of faith in myself. And it's been a
little under two years that I've decided to turn,
I guess, a professional artist, a recording artist.
Right. I never, you know, I never planned to
sing. So I said, let's just go and do it. And
the first song I recorded was a song I wrote
for me that when he passed away in 2010, that
was the first single I released. And after that,
here I am now. That's awesome. I mean, considering
the fact that you already at a point that you
had the roots already, as far as the music being
by your dad actually being made and written already.
You kind of had like a blueprint already ready
for you. So, you know, to actually take the next
step, not only for yourself, but bringing your
dad along and exposing his music to a wider audience
and to win this award. I mean, the feeling itself,
I'm pretty sure it was just like off the charts.
I mean, you have you have your feeling of your
first born, you know, your kids, right? You feel
you have your all that great stuff. But when
you accomplish something for somebody that's,
you know, has pretty much molded you through
your years growing up and then they're not here.
Yeah. And at that one split second when you receive
this award, it's like. Ask you for a favor to
be down there with you to be there to accept
that award with you. Yeah, you know and that's
that's That's it's it's it's breathtaking bro.
When you talk about that. It felt amazing I recall
and because I see the video of the man quite
a quite a bit I do look at that video that he
recorded when the name was called. Mm -hmm. And
one of the things I said on stage was You know,
like I think my dad, you know, I'm sorry. I'm
crying or something. It's just my dad isn't here
And I remember the host says, no, your dad is
here. Yeah. Yeah. Of course, man. Of course.
It was an amazing experience. And that feeling
was also the same feeling when I first heard
my song on the radio, the song I wrote for my
dad. The first time I heard it on the radio.
Right. Right. It was almost the same type of
feeling like, oh, my God, dad. This is for you,
you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was it was amazing.
That's awesome, though. That's awesome. So we
already went we've gone from we've gone from
thinking you're going to be an NFL player. I
went to college saying I'm going to be calling
an NFL player and then realizing what the fuck
was I thinking? And then mom comes and kidnaps
you from college saying Mama, but that's what
like I saw and you come back Join the Marine
Corps. Yeah, do your thing, you know what you
need to do What's supposed to do is what you're
being told in the Marine Corps and then you come
back home And you say, you know what, I just
want I've been writing music just like that.
And you find all these cassettes. I'm thinking
it's cassettes at the time. Bunch of CDs, CDs.
He converted them over. OK. You know, CDs and
you're going back and listening to these and
you're like, dude, I mean. Want to do something
with this, you know and go I want to show dad
that hey, you know what? I'm gonna make you proud
dad. I'm gonna make you proud of me right now
Even maybe probably you are you're probably making
even more proud for doing this and you and I
are gonna do this together and this happens Man,
you've you've I'm not gonna say you peek because
you haven't peaked yet from the same that that
moment I'm pretty sure you're feeling you know
what? This is it. I I think I've I peaked right
here, this is as good as it's gonna get. You're
right, when I heard the song on the radio, I
made it. At that moment, I felt like I already
accomplished everything I could. And then when
I got nominated to my first Music Awards in San
Antonio, which was the seventh annual All -Star
Music Awards, I won, on that one, the new male
artist, the new onk. upcoming male artist of
the year. Really? So that was an awesome feeling.
Wow. And then five months later was the Pura
Vida Awards where I won single of the year. That's
awesome. And I feel good because I'm two for
two. There you go. Things that I never did the
music for awards. I did it. If you know a little
bit about my story, because of where I've been,
I have pretty bad PTSD, depression, TBI, traumatic
brain injuries, things that I've experienced.
If I had not gotten into really focusing on music
and going into studio and singing, I don't, who
knows, maybe I wouldn't be here. I'll probably
be in jail or, or I was just constantly drinking.
I was like, you're really feeling down. And then
you want to feel more down. Like, feel sorry
for yourself. It's like a downward spiral. You
want to feel like you want to just keep feeling
that pain. Right. And no, I decided. to not go
that route. Right. And I also decided, I think
ultimately to not be a statistic that 22 a day
where they see veterans take their lives. I was
I was almost there. OK. And I decided not to
be that statistic. Right. Right. Right. Now,
that's not to say that it's not a struggle every
day just because I'm making music and you see
number he knows sometimes. He doesn't hear me,
hear from me for two days. I'm at the festival
and I'm there and I'm drinking. I don't want
to talk to nobody. Even now, I go through those
struggles because it's never going to go away.
But I'm not going to give in to not being here
fighting all day. It's rough, but I kind of have
learned to figure out a way to manage it. And
the music has absolutely helped me be alive and
happy. than what I should have been right right
right here is he and that's the most important
thing when you have I mean I family family can
when I mean I've never Can't really speak with
by with experience of me going through that in
particular, you know being depressed and all
that good stuff and you know Hope if I ever do
I have the families behind me But the best part
of is having friends behind you that that kind
of pull you through also You have those friends
that are they keep an eye on you. Amen. How you
been? What's going on? What's it? What's it like
right now? Hey, is there something that can help
you with you know that that positivity in your
in your life helps out a lot now An important
question is that while you've already did the
writing, now you're doing your writing also on
top of that. Are these music or the music you
write as far as the music itself? Is it past
experience? Is it something you're feeling at
the time? Is it something that you just, a friend
told me a story about this and I'm gonna write
about it. Books you've read. What inspires you
to write? That your music. I mean what what's
the your your muse? Yeah, that's the correct
word the news Yeah, well, what's yeah, so for
example not I see while I was mentioning to you
that that was the first single I recorded but
I wrote that song in 2010 when my father passed
away and The lyrics to that song is pretty much
what I everything I was feeling and what I experienced
You know, I write and the song because when I
wrote the song My dad had just recently passed
away. Nada es igual, my first single that I recorded.
And I talk about, cuando miro tu camioneta afuera
de nuestro hogar, me lleno con alegría porque
pienso que ahí estarás. So at that moment, even
though I knew my dad had passed away, every time
I would see his pickup truck as I would drive
down the road to my mom's house, my mind would
like say, like at that little, small little moment.
Dad is there. And that's why I wrote it, but
I knew he wasn't. And then when I opened the
door, I say, it's only his memories, his photos
and all that. So that's the song that I wrote.
And it helped me grieve because, man, with the
PTSD and my dad passing away, then it was Father's
Day, then it was my birthday, man, and all that.
It trickles down, man. It trickles down. I wrote
that, obviously, and why do I say all that? Because
I'm telling it's life experiences. Right, right,
right. Yo prefiero vivir solo, it's another song
that I wrote. It's also about how, you know,
we men prefer to just, you know what? I write
how I can't ever make you happy and instead of
walking on eggshells, I'd rather just live by
myself. I was writing on a song. Right, right.
Like telling my significant other at that time,
right, I guess. And then at the end of the song,
which I've done a music video to all this, you
can see me going back to the house like I'm coming
back. You don't really want to be by yourself,
but, you know, I just need time off, babe. Come
on. Let me be me. I got you. I got you. Let me
give you an amazing sample. Oh, right. Yeah,
or am I saying right? Yeah, you're saying oh,
you just got I think we're gonna change that
next I'm being I'm getting Don't say that Mark
Mark, so I'll give you an amazing. I think it's
a badass example There's a song right now that
I'm working on that. I wrote four weeks ago.
Okay, so I'm a Mensaje Mi Telefono Okay, my tail
quick story on that one. Yeah, go for it So four
weeks ago when I wrote this song I was on one
of those moments where I was drinking And I've
been talking to this person, right? I'm going
to say names or anything. And she came over to
the house, but I had the garage closed. Everything
was closed. She couldn't access. She couldn't
come in. And I was telling her, hey, through
messaging, just messaging, because she was parked
outside. You've got to go. And she wouldn't give
up on me. Like, she waited literally two hours.
And I'm not saying it to Brad. She wouldn't leave
until she sent the message. In other words, I
wanted to be by myself. Like, let her man pass.
Nothing against her. It's just, I just need to
be left alone. And she left a message, a pretty,
like a minute long, a message on my WhatsApp.
And in the last 13 seconds, she says, Yo si te
amé como la canción, yo si te amé. Right? Those
little 14 seconds. So, man, I started writing.
Dejo un mensaje en mi teléfono, con su voz casi
llorando, como dice esa canción, yo si te amé.
Right. So I wrote a whole song that we've been
working on at the recording studio that it's
gonna be my next single, right? I already went
and she has to go get it registered and copyrighted
because I don't like to release my songs until
I've done that. Yeah, and and and the song brother
the array loss you told that's it's it's awesome.
And so that little message that she left me even
though I kind of pushed away ended up sending
her a message. Hey, I wrote a song of what you
left. Can I use this? I told you, can I use the
last 14 seconds of where you say this 15 %? I
need 15 % of that. I already had a vision in
my head of how I wanted it to sound right. And
right away. No, that was good. So that little
part. That's how my song starts off with her
talking. Oh, shoot. What an actual voice of the
organic. The actual message. It starts off. And
then the instrumental kicks in and she's finishing
it. And then the song goes off. There you go.
Dude, that sounds awesome. Sounds like a novella.
And the whole song is very like... emotional
like that. You know, that's something else I've
noticed a lot of a lot of the a lot of Latino
artists are doing now. When I first saw it, I
hate to mention this guy's name. No, no, no,
no. I don't praise this guy or anything like
that. But R. Kelly would make his videos and
he would make them into like a long story. His
whole album was a story. And I noticed... I was
a fan of the dude. Musically. And I see a lot
of Latino artists doing that. Like they'll release
like a digital album on Spotify. And you hear
the music the way it's supposed to be heard.
And I know it's not cheap. to make a music video
it's not it's it's expensive as hell you know
you gotta find a videographer you gotta find
the sound guy you gotta find the you gotta have
the right acting coach to teach you what you
need to be doing in this scene uh on top of that
i've seen a couple of local valley artists even
hip -hop artists that have done it too they make
their their albums into like a like a story like
a story and you're like wow man this is really
developed Into something awesome, you know, and
they're in and they're getting noticed for it.
That's what's so cool about it But I mean like
we're going back to you writing that in particular
song with that voice message and everything I
mean other songs How many how many how many songs
you have released for under your name right now?
Under my name that are mine with that one that
belongs to my dad I've written five total six
six originals. Mm -hmm One that my dad and the
rest are covers. Actually, no, I've already written
seven originals that I wrote. OK, so now they
sell them. My dad wrote and then the others are
covers done uniquely our style. When I say covers,
I don't copy the same Arreglos, right? I use
the same instruments actually on cover songs.
I try to pick songs that a whole different genre
that don't use accordion. Right, right. Whatsoever
to. so they can see how we implemented our sound,
our style, and they could see that we didn't
copy it exactly like the original was. Exactly.
while also showing that respect to the original
cover. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Now, and when
I mean, as far as I've seen live before, there's
a video I posted on for the commercial where
you're doing a live performance. And I'm not
sure what club that was. What were you? What
were you? Yeah, exactly. I think the one you
might have posted is where I'm wearing a blue
shirt. Yes. That was he put up either words on
the single of the year. OK, OK. And as far as
as far as like venues or gigs, I'm pretty sure
you're you've gone out already out there. What's
the, what the fan base look like? I mean, as
far as anything, I mean, consider the fact, you
know, I'm, I know you've done it, been doing
this for a couple of years already, you know,
and being in a lie, I'm just saying nine, five,
six RGB. When it comes to local, like we've talked
about this millions of times. You watch the podcast
when it comes to people that are rock artists,
hip hop artists, solo artists that are not. Steal
like you know, you know, it's it's tough It's
tough because it's hard to get that people to
turn their heads look listen to this and they
don't want to do it They're more focused to the
country so that the Hanna what actually flourishes
down here more. It's like like a To hear a rock
band is like looking at a sore weed in the middle
of the highway, you know It's there but we're
not gonna look at it. You know, it's just just
the way the people are down here. I'm sorry No
offense, but it's the truth That's why I asked
you the fan base. I mean when it comes to that.
Let me touch up with my El Genero, right? Let's
talk about the genre first. Like my music, when
I get an interview, you haven't even asked a
question yet, but most of the time they ask me,
what do you consider your music? It's... Yo siempre
pongo Amor Norteño, Tejano and Conjunto Artist,
because like Mi Mala Suerte sounds more Conjunto.
Como el perro con el gato song that I wrote sounds
more Conjunto. My music, when I record a song,
I don't go and tell my guys I wanted it to sound
Norteño, I wanted it to sound Tejano. It's hybrid.
We get the whole instrumental fusion together.
That's the way it came out. Why am I saying that?
Being an original independent artist, meaning
being new to the scene, and trying to push new
original music, so they don't know you, they
don't know your music, it's very hard because
I'm not. I didn't start off pushing cover songs.
I started off pushing my music. Original music.
So it was hard, but once they started hearing
like the Nah, this is wild, man. That touches
a lot of people. I remember I did the video release
at a local, at a zero tres, zero tres in Palm
U. OK, OK. People went and I had people crying.
That was my first song that I released. And when
I, when I moved those emotions, I knew I don't
care who tells me what I know I have something
because when you're when you're able to create
these emotions for people Now to answer the question,
how's my following or my fan base here? I think
the last 90 days Has been the best and most increased
of people Following like in my music really right
listening to my right, right We performed at
the Avocado Fest in the city of Farr. When we
went up there, we were the second band that went
up at the 956 age. People were far off. And then
I was starting to call them in. And then once
you started hearing my songs that they probably
heard, I had people dancing and singing. I even
had, again, two or three people cry on the Nada
Es Igual song that I wrote and Soldado Liciado,
the song that my dad wrote. Those are super strong
songs. and and i feel that people are starting
to know who i am right uh me as a person but
by my voice yes yes and then i have this thing
that i do that's my thing uh like at my grito
that's my unique grito of people already A lot
of times they'll send me a comment, who are you?
They're already identifying me with that thing.
We already discussed I have to do a shirt with
a thing. You better. But I think it's going to
take time. I haven't even hit the two years,
man. And by the grace of God, I've gotten these
awards, these recognitions. I've actually been
on Take 5 on Channel 5. That's awesome. Performed
at Bird Ogden already at the big arena there.
opened up for a big Mexican artist back five
months ago. So that was an awesome experience.
And I think Pete, the crowd is slowly coming
around. I got Cruz senior Raul is in Domingo.
Yes, there is zero in the house. But hey, here
we have it. Just say something, bro. You know
that now I hear you bro. I hear you. It's not
easy I mean you were talking about how the rock
you know I'm not I don't play rock, but I'm assuming
it was hard to get yeah people here to One thing
I wanted to add without a disrespecting anybody
mm -hmm. I get more I won't say fan base, but
more like Attention in a good way mm -hmm. I
don't the valley than I do in the valley and
I Hate that I'm saying it like that, but it's
harder I have to work twice as hard here. Yes.
Than I do in San Antonio, Laredo, or Corpus.
Exactly. Out there, they're like, they want to
take pictures. Not because that's what I want,
but they're recognizing who I am. Exactly. As
far as an artist, and my music, and how I write,
and the lyrics. And here, it's like... I'm barely
lighting the little spark, and it's hard. I hear
you. I hear you. I mean, and I totally understand
because it's like in every artist that's come
in here that's through any genre of music that's
come in has said the same thing. You know, I've
and one of my buddies, my little brother, his
buddy is Sean Mecca. And from what he used to
do back in the day was hip hop artists. Now he
moved to like a country thing. He just exploded
now, but here he's he's known they know, you
know, he's he has this fan base here. But I've
seen the videos when my brother goes out with
them in San Antonio, Houston, out of the state
of Texas. Bro, he has there's people that invite
him to weddings to go sing there, too. And I
was like, dude, he's like, yeah, man, that's
it's weird because, you know, I've never thought
I never thought I'd get that it's different.
I mean, when you step out of the what I like,
what me and my buddy like to call the bubble
of the valley. It's way different experience
out there. So, I mean, but we'll come back right
now because I got to shout out some sponsors.
But we're going to come back and talk about the
big. Discussion of meta what happened to my buddy
here. That's why your guys are looking for his
Facebook page Don't worry. I'll put the QR code
in a couple of minutes because there's a beautiful
story behind this And this one but I hang in
there and don't go anywhere first shot I want
to give a big shout out to as to notice constructions
residential commercial Little remodel Anything

It's me, right? Trying to grow my music, grow
my image. Right, right. So my original or my
last Facebook met up page was permanently removed.

had just taken my thing off. And he said and
I told him the quick story. and he said bro trust
me that happened to us and it's because of the
same thing you're mentioning right and i had
like 11 000 followers jesus christ like man that's
horrible bottom line they removed myself because
they were questioning that i was the owner right
i ended up reaching out to you know when you
do your your uh what is a customer support or
look at their business support right right right
and I didn't know you could have finally eventually
talk to an actual person on the other end. When
I had that a person representing meta on the
other end, I was explaining my situation. They
were really trying to help me recover. Right.
At the end, she or he, whoever it was, says because
it was permanently removed through AI and algorithms,
we can't recover it back. Sorry. All they could
say was sorry. Start all over again. Pretty much

my mom is on there so my mom's birthday was november

mom and why do i say this because uh the song
that i released uh i wrote a song for my mom
i started writing it in 2023 she never knew i
wrote her a song Why did you take it off? This
is a Playstation. I had a scheduling at Subrata,
I don't want a 2 .1 for an interview. So we called
her live from Cabina. We called her, wish her
a happy birthday and we played her song on the
radio. Oh, there you go. So it was an awesome
experience and it felt amazing to be able to
do that for my mom. And now I told her mom from
now on, forever and ever and ever, your song
will be infinite. It's in the music platforms,
anybody can hear your song. And of course, I
wrote it with my mom. In mine, it's for her,
but it's also for the mothers out there. It's
a very good song. People that have listened to
it, they really like it. And I want to tell everybody
that's watching that keep a look out for the
music video. We just wrapped it up two days ago
or was it yesterday or how many days ago or two
days ago? We wrapped the music video two days
ago. We should have it out here in the next seven
days. Let's get it. A big shout out to Baby D,
True King. What's up? Shout out, Raza. Hello.
It's Baby D. I heard your shirts up here in the
wall, Baby D. Here, put this on. Shout out to
Beto Valle. Baby D is a good friend of mine.
I usually reach out to Baby D. I kind of love
him. I stay in touch with him. Yeah, man, it's
a good guy, man. Good guy. We were playing around
with him. But when he was here, we're talking
about the money, me about Friday, about Baby
D. Remember those Twinkies? My bad motherfuckers
going out. Oh, my God. The UFO story that I.
Oh, here we go. So it wasn't. So look, because
of my background as a prime military contractor,
I also got to work. out in the ocean from Somalia
up to India doing the anti -piracy security.
I was hired as a team leader for a team and we
would be on these vessels trying to keep the
Somali pirates from hijacking. Right, right,
right. So when you're out there, each way, you
call it a transit, each transit will go from
Africa all the way to India, all the way to the
tip of India down there. It's called Tuticorin
India. Direction will take seven to ten days
depending. Jesus Christ. So seven, ten days out
in the ocean. Ten days. And when we would do
our rounds, I remember it was like three in the
morning. I was on the bridge and then I would
do my rounds through this whole vessel. And when
you're out in the ocean, brother, the sky is
so beautiful, so clear. Right. Of course. Yeah.
And this is what happened when I looked up one
one one of those when I was doing a patrol, I
saw three. White like the sphere lights. Yeah.
Yeah, but it was three of them and they weren't
attached And I want to key another one here and
another one here. So they made always the triangle
They made a triangle and so I'm looking but but
as they did a triangle as they're flying So keep
in mind they're flying right because and I'm
down here looking up right as they're flying
at a triangle then they do the boom but they're
not attached and then like they inverted and
then they do this and they do a line and then
they do It was it wasn't like a like a human
made Gadget or right no no drone or anything
like that So when I saw it three Same size total
dimensions everything and their movement was
same amount of space in between like and it was
so perfect I'm like I just saw you know and so
Fast -forward like a year later. I'm back in
the States and on the news There's a they were
posting it on social media how a family and Nebraska
something and they took a picture It was the
same three those three same lights that I saw
Jesus that's nice. It's like a year later, right?
So that That wasn't a close encounter, but it
was something that wasn't normal. That's crazy,
man. That's great. You know, and it's funny because
we've had we've had guests come in beforehand.
It was a long when the old studio, my brother
and I were doing an interview with these two
guys and they were telling us a story in hand
about what happened to one of the guys there.
He saw something in the sky and it flashed light
on him and then. That was it. Everything went
back to normal. And the same thing happened to
my little brother at a younger age. And to do
about it, it was weird because we were young.
I think he was only... If I'm wrong, correct
me, Quez. I think he was maybe 13 at the time.
I was already in my early 20s. And they were
outside throwing the football, playing football
outside. And I happened to go out there to go
watch them play. And at one point, uh at one
point he's like he caught the ball and he just
froze for like not even two seconds and then
he came back and then we're like okay that's
weird we're like whatever and goes dude didn't
you see that light go what like bro so he saw
he saw like but no one else no one else did like
you didn't see that light dude what like dude
a flash of light came down from the sky i literally
was looking at it for a while and then it just
turned off Go bro, it was not even up two seconds
and you were just frozen there and then that
was it. How long did it feel to him though? To
him it felt like an attorney. It felt like at
least two to three minutes. And we were there
like it was like two seconds a second that happened
bro. Did you get probed? He goes no you didn't
get that crap. He didn't shit for about a week.
Yeah, it's crazy and we've had we have a lot
of we've had a couple of gifts have been conspirators
also and they talk about that, you know, but
there's so much stuff on on social media now
tick -tock with that a one or a 31 you haven't
it's all over the news man talk to me it's a
bit you can google it it's a1 or 831 that's what
they named it and it's a big oh some sort of
like a space rock asteroid rock but they think
it could be a spaceship because of the way it
moves it slows down it speeds up At times that
it meets like it like it releases some sort of
light and then I mean they see that it pulsates
in certain areas, right? So they don't think
it's just an asteroid They actually think it's
like some sort of alien. Right shit moving through
covered in these uh Rock, well, I'm gonna look
at the camera out personally guys. If you're
what if extraterrestrials are watching I would
love to have you as a guest in the tuna pie.
I will make room for you to be on the podcast
Just and you can take chew with you. It's fine.
You take them for experiments, bro Go ahead and
probe as you can pro do whatever you want, but
I need them back on Thursdays But uh, yeah, man,
it freaks me out man with all this weird stuff
now, here's a question for you, bro Here's it
being being a writing artist and stuff and I'm
pretty sure you've been tossed this question
off or not And you're probably it's probably
gonna get a rise out of you is probably you probably
come to an understanding Where do you sit as
far as music AI, as far as writing AI? Talk to
me. Okay, so I did a post. I was obviously on
my old page. I've had people around me that consider
themselves composers, the música, and they've
admitted to me that they have AI write their
songs. So AI writes their music and they say
that They're the composers that they wrote it
right now. I had this argument with my brother
my brother My brother I because to me it's not
upsetting but I don't consider them You know
how long it takes me to write sometimes Yeah,
like that one song was like an hour hour and
a half, bro Queen and Chingas focus focus, right?
My mom sent me almost two years, but you know
what I mean? Yeah, it takes time for me to write
something but not only that it's from here from
the heart here. Yeah you know now my brother
said well they still there is they use AI to
their advantage they just put in a couple thoughts
and AI did the whole thing and technically it's
a work they did by inputting their information
or certain things out there but they didn't put
no time effort sweat or anything to create that
right so now I will say this I think the future
of songwriting and I still and I believe I'm
going to add this, that these real famous artists
are already doing that, using AI to write their
music. They have the money and their record labels
are, I think, a lot better uncovering that part
up. I think that's already happening and I also
think that's the future of people who are just
going to say, I wrote this song or I use AI to
write this song. It's so funny you brought that
up because in my band, I write my music. One
of my guys says, hey, I wrote this song and I
put it through AI and this is what it gave me.
Gave me three different ways with arrangements.
Let me hear it. Don't even show it to me and
don't even tell me the AI. I don't want to even
remotely when I'm tired, exhausted, get tempted
to use it. Right. I don't want I said, don't
tell me the name. Don't show me the link. I don't
care to know. Right. And even when it goes through
my page, sometimes those AI things that I don't
even hope I just swipe through. I don't want
to ever get tempted and going that route and
using it. I don't write my music because I feel
like cheating the people. Exactly. For me personally.
Well, I mean, the song songwriting itself, it's
it's it's an art. It's a slow. slowly dying art.
I know a lot of people who say they use a lot
of AI. There's some that have writer's block.
Myself, personally, I can't write for shit. I
can write music, but I can't write lyrics. And
sometimes I get frustrated. And even though the
AI looks very tempting to use, I still try to
buckle down and try to write everything down
as much as I can and try to... rephrase and reword
the words the way they want to come out. You
know, music, writing music, simple. I can hear
it. If something sparks in my head, I'm actually
putting music together ASAP real quick. You know,
I can do that. But when it comes to lyric writing,
nah, you got me beat. That's my kryptonite. I
cannot do it. You said what block is this? Writer's
block. Writer's block, which I've heard. Yeah.
It doesn't mean you go use AI. Just wait. Don't
force it. Don't push it. put it away put like
I did with my mom I couldn't finish it I started
in 2023 I finished it in 2025 I couldn't and
I didn't want to force it I didn't want to just
make up lyrics like that were gonna fit or yeah
so I put it to the side now um I've I know I
was gonna tell you something oh there's this
real I got to meet this guy he reached out to
me he's and he's from the valley from Michigan
he said hey I like your style the way you sing
and I write music and he sent me a song Mm hmm.
Man, and it hasn't been I says, I want you to
sing my song. Right. And then he says me another
one, another one, another one, another one. Like
not in a bad way. Right. And then the first thing
that went through my mind, this guy's using AI.
Right. Right. To where I reached out and we've
gone to know each other. When you're in town,
I would like to sit down and talk to you. I told
him. Right. Because I didn't want to I never
brought up the fact that I think you're doing
it. Right. I wanted to bring it up in person.
Right. So he because he works in the oil field.
So he ended up coming. He was his rotation R
&R to come home We touch bases he came to the
house because I like to meet and know the person
right right now We're talking and then he I tell
him at the end of the conversation. I hit a broken
off and after Another reason I I wanted to meet
you in person because I wanted to see how you
react to what I'm about to say Did you use AI
in any other songs? No, not to offend you, right?
They're so good, bro They're bass and you're
sending me one after the other right with the
arrangements And he said, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, At least
at this point, I cannot do it because I feel
like I'm cheating the people right now. Well,
I hope anybody that uses AI to write music don't
get offended. That's just me. My personal right
opinion, my personal way of thinking. I feel
I feel that you're you're not writing your music.
You're not putting your your whole heart into
it. Pretty much is what you're trying to say
is that, you know, when it's written, handwritten
or typed into a PC, whatever, however you write
down your lyrics. You know, I think it's more
it's more intimate when you write it in a notepad
You're by yourselves clear with a pencil and
just going and writing and writing and writing
it can be a series of thoughts it can be a series
of phrases and You all of a sudden you say, you
know what this works with this you start Mix
matching the words and you start rearranging
Sometimes you just sit there and write a bunch
of shit little words and brainstorming goes what
would go with this? We'll go with that. This
sounds kind of corny This sounds really good,
but what's gonna go after that? You know, it's
you got to really sit down and buckle down and
concentrate. It's everything from now for what
was back in the day of Music writing lyric writing.
I think we got actual art. I call it actually
I'm not saying it isn't out but Oh, that's more
commercial. Everybody wants it fast. Everybody
wants everything now. I want it now. It should
have been done yesterday. And it takes the feeling
like these great songs are written through our
time. It can be rock, it can be Spanish music,
it can be country. They're great music writing,
you know, and that art is slowly. Fading away
and you know, and it's you're not getting what
they are. Exactly. I want the struggle. Exactly.
The struggle is what makes it so much better.
Exactly. Exactly. One thing I wanted to tell
you, like me as a writer, I don't play an instrument.
Right. So the way you hear the songs, your vocals,
an instrument homie. I always remember that.
Thank you for saying that because I'll bring
something else up. But what I wanted to say is
when I write, I write singing. So the way my
songs are out, that's the way I sang when I wrote
them. Right. So. All the songs that I've released,
I've already sung them like this. make magic.
Right. The way I'm singing and when my pitches
are going, where I'm bringing down the tone to
where I'm speeding up. Right. It's up to you
to. You see, you got people that could do that.
You, you got some. No. You got some hardcore
musicians. Shout out to Nemias Corona. Nemias,
he plays the chord and his brother, Janito, plays
the electric bass. And then we have seven on
the bajo. But Nemias has been helping me and
he's been on board with my project the last three
and a half months. And he is a Musical genius.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean people like that in your corner
bro musical genius and he has Understand the
way I think as far as when I write yes Yeah,
I know he doesn't even hey, he knows what's gonna
happen, right? And I'm so grateful for those
guys man Yeah, and I've been in bands where yeah,
that's yeah, you know that okay. This guy's gonna
do this guy's gonna do this this this section
Okay, I know what he's gonna do here. I'm gonna
follow over here. I know where how it's all gonna
collide, you know, but oh it's I you know each
other, you know where your drops and your pickups
and your slowdowns and how to bleed, where's
the chorus, where's the bridge, you know, and
if people are watching, what the hell are you
talking about? If you're not a musician, you
don't know, you don't know. Even when I would
write music, you know, sabiache, puente, or the
bridge, that's the instrumental breakdown in
the middle. Yes, yes. But now when I type out
my songs, I help them with bridge, puente, slash
puente, both English and Spanish. Yeah. And I
was going to bring up the man, Frank. He plays
the drum, Frank Sanchez. So Frank has understood
through Nemo. When Nemo does the arrangements,
Nemo just tells him a few things and Frank, yeah.
That's awesome. I'm going to tell you another
amazing thing that I really love about these
guys is now I told them when we do rehearsal,
if I wrote a song, I tell them once we do our
setlist, we will stop right there. I'm going
to sing the song that I just wrote a couple of
days ago because they're so they're so calientes
with instruments. Yeah. And each one of them
starts doing their own thing. And then it starts
mashing. Yes. Yes. In the spot. Yes. They both
start. They're going off what I'm saying. That's
a session. It's a brainstorm. And boom. Yeah.
And everything comes together like what? It's
so relieving to have guests and I think she'll
get sometimes he gets upset because he I know
I know my buddy He he's really into interviews,
but when it when it comes to musicians, I interview
musicians, bro It's just we know the lingo. We
know what we're talking about and to hear that
saying that I've experienced that with bands
that I've played before especially with the Original
bands to play with you know writing the music
and then having the singer call Hey, I wrote
this. This is the way I hear it and he starts
singing it and at the time it was my cousin and
I, we would go with our acoustic setup and we
would just follow along and try to find it. And
sure enough, boom, we got it. We called the bass
player. This is what it is. Call the drummer,
file this. And it just, boom, it's ready. Here
it is. It's like you're in a lab and you're putting
all these things together like a scientist doing
boom. You just found Cure. Yeah, exactly. And
when you said like your vocals are an instrument,
that reminded me, when I go to the studio, my
studio producer, big shout out to Jesus Truvivian
from Alabal Recording Studio who follows you.
I remember the last time we were at the studio
with my guys, and they're so talented, they're
like, man, I wish I could just wake up one day
and be just as talented as you guys. He says,
bro, not everybody can write and sing. You are
talented. And that made me feel so good. Yeah,
man, that's what it is. I feel that I'm the one
that brings the least to the group. No, you'd
be surprised. No, but that's how I feel given
that it's Domingo Leal Cercero, but I feel I'm
the one that brings the least even though it's
my music that I wrote, my songs, my lyrics, and
I already, it's like I'm already giving them
the pitch and the tones because I'm singing it.
Right. They're just doing the magic. Right, right.
That I can't, but I - They're your personal AI.
That's your personal AI. But there's no, there's,
I think to me there's - We're going to be anything
better than humans doing. Yeah, exactly. Humans
understand emotion. Exactly. A computer doesn't.
Yeah, not yet. Not yet. No, well, let's not go
that far. But we're about an hour and three minutes
in the podcast and it's going great. I love I

that good stuff man. It takes work if you want
to build an empire You need to work on it, you

episodes and say, you know what, I'm done. It's
not working. No, you it. It doesn't take one
day to build Rome, my friend. You know, you got
to work at it. And to add with that, even as
an artist like myself, man, you got to be persistent
and consistent. Yes. You know, there's times
where like I ask, what am I trying to do with
this? And now I don't even question that. I know
I and I say I. With my guys, we have something
special. Before I get off the mic here, I want
to give a big shout out to my official sponsor,
Evolved Energy, Mr. Nathaniel and Crystal Johnson.
Thank you both for being with me for the last
five months, having my back and supporting me.
They live in San Antonio. Nathaniel got in touch
with me. because he saw the connection of me
and his son having being a veteran with PTSD.
Never met me. And he ended up helping me financially
until this day. If I have an issue where I didn't
I don't have enough funds for making a music
video or paying my student producer to make sure
I get all I do is reach out to them. And I don't
question anything, man. That's awesome. They
helped me with the kindness of another heart.
You know, it's hard to find people like that.
Yeah. And with that, the only thing I can do
to repay them is if you have a business What
they do is they're a broker for like power, energy,
like electric companies. Ninety nine. And I say
this not because they're my sponsors. Ninety
nine percent of time, they can give you a way
lower rate than what you have. So you're saving
money in your pockets. They don't ask you to
return. They don't evolve the energy. Look them
up. They if you have a business commercial business
and you feel your electric rates are too high,
just give them an opportunity that they won't
take anything. They won't do anything unless
you approve it and you're happy with what they're
going to show you. That's an awesome show. They
do they do. lower cost. That's awesome, man.
So thank you to Evolved Energy. Thank you to
all of you guys for paying attention to this
podcast, following, listening, watching. Thank
you very much. Last but not least, man, one thing
I want to say before we sign off, I want to say

the dream. He wants to do he's he's uh, he's
Taking advantage as much as he can to do what
he needs to do to get big and he's on his way
There like I said every Every career starts with
a small hiccup and you just got to keep seeing
there's gonna be rough patches You got to see
it through and you can't give up when you get
pushed down You got to get back up and hit it
again You know so many times until you say until
that day comes when you say, you know what bro?
I've been doing this for 15 years You know, I
think I got enough material out there to leave
behind for those who want to remember me I'm
going to sit back, relax, and I'm going to help
the newcomers a little bit and push them up.
