I know you've done quite a few 00:02:42.250 --> 00:02:43.509 stuff. I've been looking around your website. 00:02:43.590 --> 00:02:45.050 You've got quite a lot out in the past. So tell 00:02:45.050 --> 00:02:47.409 us a bit about yourself, influences as a kid, 00:02:47.530 --> 00:02:49.710 and just give us a bit of an idea about you. 00:02:50.389 --> 00:02:53.909 Well, I was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, 00:02:54.009 --> 00:03:00.430 which is a pretty small town. Blue collar. We 00:03:00.430 --> 00:03:03.330 lived there until I was about three years old. 00:03:03.449 --> 00:03:10.030 My parents divorced. my mom remarried very very 00:03:10.030 --> 00:03:15.810 brief remarriage and we moved out to San Francisco 00:03:15.810 --> 00:03:20.849 that marriage ended pretty quickly he turned 00:03:20.849 --> 00:03:25.250 out to be for all intents and purposes an actual 00:03:25.250 --> 00:03:36.349 con artist I didn't see that one coming. I thought 00:03:36.349 --> 00:03:38.090 you might have said it was a total pick or something, 00:03:38.189 --> 00:03:43.389 but I didn't expect that one. Oh, okay. And my 00:03:43.389 --> 00:03:51.030 mom remarried. Well, sorry, excuse me. We moved 00:03:51.030 --> 00:03:54.409 from San Francisco to Santa Monica. My mom was 00:03:54.409 --> 00:04:01.710 just a champion, keeping us afloat. Very, very 00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:07.599 amazing lady. that she was saving us. I mean, 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.020 we were nearly homeless because this person had 00:04:11.020 --> 00:04:14.500 really pulled the wool over our eyes. And he 00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:18.120 went to prison, actually. I never told that story. 00:04:18.180 --> 00:04:20.240 I don't know how mad my mom's going to be at 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.939 me. We don't do tabloids. There'll be nothing 00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:27.459 to embarrass your mom. But I am thinking there's 00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:29.459 an entire album there. I mean, if you ever hear 00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:35.180 a song about a narcissist or anything, That's 00:04:35.180 --> 00:04:36.240 your man. You've got it all there, haven't you? 00:04:36.259 --> 00:04:38.600 You've got the entire album there. I know, I 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.759 know. There's so much to dig into that I haven't 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.839 gotten into with my writing. I have a story. 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:53.480 Wow. That's wild. But she found a job that transferred 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.639 us from San Francisco, California to Santa Monica, 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.579 California. And we were there for a few years. 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.100 Then we went to Michigan. and then we went to 00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:07.959 Texas and um and in that time she remarried and 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:13.060 uh we were in Texas I was in Texas from the time 00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:19.139 I was 10 I guess until 18 and um and then moved 00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:22.420 I left and I North Carolina and New York and 00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:25.480 now LA and just bouncing around all over the 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:30.899 place Did it work? Third time lucky for your 00:05:30.899 --> 00:05:32.860 mum, was it? Was it all good, this one? I hope. 00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:37.540 I sincerely hope. Yeah. I'm pleased to hear that. 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.180 People at home, although we don't really doubt, 00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:42.180 I think people at home would like to know that 00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:46.899 it's OK. I'm sure your mum would be happy that 00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:48.620 you mentioned it. It's part of your story and 00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:50.759 no one's asking you questions in depth about 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.620 it. I think it's good. And it's a big part of 00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:56.839 it. That's a big story. Yeah, there's a lot. 00:05:57.819 --> 00:06:00.879 Oh yeah, so you ended up in LA. So what part, 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.519 which one of those moves would you say got you 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.639 sort of being creative and becoming a singer 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.319 -songwriter? Or has it built up across your entire 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.420 life path or was there any part of it like arriving 00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:17.100 in LA or any part of it that's influenced you 00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:20.660 more? There was never a time that I wasn't playing 00:06:20.660 --> 00:06:24.920 or not interested in music and it's kind of wild. 00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:30.189 Like my first favorite song on this planet was 00:06:30.189 --> 00:06:35.689 We Belong, you know, Pat Benatar. And fast forward, 00:06:36.730 --> 00:06:40.370 so back then I, sorry, rewind. Fast forward, 00:06:40.670 --> 00:06:43.370 rewind. It's a little earlier here than it is 00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:51.529 there, by the way. But I used to tell people 00:06:51.529 --> 00:06:53.569 when I was a little girl, they'd say, well, what 00:06:53.569 --> 00:06:55.410 do you want to be when you grow up? And I'd say, 00:06:55.629 --> 00:07:00.790 Pat Benatar. and it's crazy because you know 00:07:00.790 --> 00:07:06.389 years go by and then I end up by my booking agent 00:07:06.389 --> 00:07:10.430 getting sort of fixed up with Dan Navarro who 00:07:10.430 --> 00:07:16.170 just happened to write that exact song and so 00:07:16.170 --> 00:07:18.910 he ends up co -producing my album and we wrote 00:07:18.910 --> 00:07:22.009 a beautiful song together and I've been opening 00:07:22.009 --> 00:07:26.490 up for him and touring with him and so it life's 00:07:26.490 --> 00:07:31.370 just uh kind of crazy that way um but in answer 00:07:31.370 --> 00:07:34.069 in answer to your original question i mean i 00:07:34.069 --> 00:07:37.189 just i kind of always wanted to do this and i 00:07:37.189 --> 00:07:40.329 that was we had a lot of music around on on both 00:07:40.329 --> 00:07:43.790 sides of my family different kinds of music but 00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:47.189 um but a lot of music in my family so how old 00:07:47.189 --> 00:07:51.620 were you when you actually started singing You 00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:53.560 can also do that anyway. That could be at school, 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.740 it could be at college, it could be at home. 00:07:56.620 --> 00:07:59.180 When I started singing like in front of people. 00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:03.800 That would be the next move anyway. I was always 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.399 singing, but my mom started taking me out to 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.759 the piano bar when I was about eight or nine 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:14.019 years old. So I was singing for strangers, you 00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:18.310 know? I don't know. I started right, I was performing 00:08:18.310 --> 00:08:21.009 a lot at like family parties and stuff like that. 00:08:21.050 --> 00:08:24.949 And I, I performed out with my mom. My mom actually 00:08:24.949 --> 00:08:29.490 is a great singer and she was singing with the 00:08:29.490 --> 00:08:33.070 piano, the piano player, Johnny Johnson, who 00:08:33.070 --> 00:08:36.990 was Chuck Berry's pianist, or rather Chuck Berry 00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:42.580 was Johnny Johnson's. Chuck Berry was really 00:08:42.580 --> 00:08:46.019 uh he started out as Johnny Johnson's guitarist 00:08:46.019 --> 00:08:49.360 by the way and then you know Chuck Berry took 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.340 it over became the Chuck Berry trio I guess I 00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:56.200 don't know but um I wonder what happened to him 00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:09.840 Even the darkest parts of England, even in the 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.240 other West Country, they've heard of Chuck Berry. 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.139 They know who he is. He's a dynamic character, 00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:20.740 that's for sure. Yeah. Okay, so I see you've 00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:23.620 done albums and that. You've basically talked 00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:27.159 about the album being produced by him. So how 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.659 many albums have you done so far? Well, I put 00:09:30.659 --> 00:09:35.220 out a short EP. Let's see. that had three songs 00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:38.600 on it and then I had a kind of a longer EP that 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.799 I really considered an album because the songs 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:45.820 are kind of these big songs. So I guess three, 00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:48.759 three albums in total with some singles, lots 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.879 of holiday singles. For a while I had a tradition 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.799 where every holiday I'd put out one or two Christmas 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.740 songs. That is where, well, there is obviously 00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:00.500 going to be a whole Christmas album at some point, 00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:03.500 isn't there? There's got to be. Even if it's 00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:07.019 a compilation of your own stuff, your own Christmas 00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:09.639 stuff. Yeah, it's good. Of course it is. Yeah, 00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:12.039 I'd love to write an original Christmas song. 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.559 Maybe I'll do that this year. We'll see. Well, 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.139 when you do and it's a hit, then you're made 00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:18.440 for life. That's your royalty sorted, isn't it? 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.159 You know, I never thought about that. That's 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.429 a good point. Noddy Holder, his share of the 00:10:28.429 --> 00:10:34.990 Merry Christmas song, his royalties alone, remember 00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:38.450 it's mainly downloads now and he co -wrote it, 00:10:38.669 --> 00:10:42.190 but his share is roughly half a million pounds 00:10:42.190 --> 00:10:45.710 a year and that's what he writes just by downloads 00:10:45.710 --> 00:10:50.309 every December. Wow. That's all you need. Yeah. 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.700 You got it, you'll be able to do it. We'll be 00:10:52.700 --> 00:10:54.120 talking about your Christmas song next time, 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.539 I tell you. But we're not here to talk about 00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:00.500 your Christmas song, are we? We are here to talk 00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:05.639 about this new single called Woke Up in LA. There's 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.500 a radio -friendly version and a version that 00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:09.960 people can listen to in their headphones at home, 00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:14.899 I'd say. Tell us about them and why you did the 00:11:14.899 --> 00:11:18.879 two slightly different versions. Well, look, 00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:22.379 I was surprised at the word that they, that in 00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:25.120 the UK, they don't want you to say, can I say 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.820 about, you know, quote unquote bad word on this? 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.299 Yes, say the bad word and I'll decide. But the 00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:31.940 word she'll get is a cuckoo noise or something. 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.120 But so just say it. It's just crap. Well, that's 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:42.909 allowed. That's it. Wait, what? I'm like, there's 00:11:42.909 --> 00:11:45.649 another C word that you that y 'all throw around 00:11:45.649 --> 00:11:53.230 that I won't even say. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's 00:11:53.230 --> 00:11:56.389 just it's not even a bad word. But I can't have 00:11:56.389 --> 00:11:58.889 it. I can't have it on the UK radio. So we took 00:11:58.889 --> 00:12:02.330 it out and it just Oh, I hope it still sounds 00:12:02.330 --> 00:12:08.190 okay. We'll be playing the original anyway. I 00:12:08.190 --> 00:12:10.490 wondered if there was something that I missed, 00:12:11.169 --> 00:12:15.529 but there's not. That works fine. It's in the 00:12:15.529 --> 00:12:18.649 context of how it's said, in my opinion. There 00:12:18.649 --> 00:12:22.769 are obviously words...

Yeah, I well this song I wrote 00:15:50.309 --> 00:15:54.169 it It was oh, I say ten years ago, but it was 00:15:54.169 --> 00:15:56.149 more than ten years. I just don't remember how 00:15:56.149 --> 00:16:03.779 long so I say ten but I I had just moved from 00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:09.340 New York to Los Angeles and it was a really big 00:16:09.340 --> 00:16:12.840 move. It was a move that I had not really planned 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.120 out. I'd sort of thought that I wanted to make 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:20.519 it and then I just one day I went and I packed 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:23.179 my bags and I booked a plane ticket for the following 00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:26.899 day and I grabbed my cat, my cat, my wonderful 00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:34.159 cat that I miss so much. We moved we just got 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:40.460 on a on a plane and went to LA and The man who 00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:43.279 became who would become my husband was there 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.779 and he Picked me up from the airport. He changed 00:16:46.779 --> 00:16:49.399 all the all the tires on his car just to make 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:54.539 sure that nothing went wrong, you know, and I 00:16:54.539 --> 00:16:56.740 Told him I'm not moving in with you. I'm not 00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:59.519 moving in with you. I'm gonna stay with my friends 00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:03.480 and he's like okay and then of course you know 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.140 got to his apartment and that was that I never 00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:10.920 left but and so it's it is and we were I was 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.480 pregnant within two months so I'm I got there 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.700 in July August by the end of September I was 00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:23.579 pregnant with our our eldest son so very fast 00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:26.819 it's very romantic to talk about but but the 00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:31.119 reality of that um was both oh my gosh I can't 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.460 I can't believe this is happening this is amazing 00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:35.920 and the other is like I can't believe this is 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.059 happening oh my god I left my band behind I left 00:17:39.059 --> 00:17:43.420 my musical community I just started gaining some 00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.819 momentum with my live shows and kind of getting 00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:48.579 recognized on the street sometimes and it felt 00:17:48.579 --> 00:17:54.000 it felt good so I I left I left all of this stuff 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:59.630 that was solely mine to pick up this brand new 00:17:59.630 --> 00:18:07.170 life that I'm sharing. And it was wonderful, 00:18:07.289 --> 00:18:11.750 but it was also where I was very worried that 00:18:11.750 --> 00:18:19.910 I had ruined my own career. By not having things 00:18:19.910 --> 00:18:22.410 in place before I got pregnant, for instance. 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.259 So it was a hard time. I don't think I was the 00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:31.099 easiest person to live with during that time 00:18:31.099 --> 00:18:37.440 and I don't know so It's it's about it's really 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.259 about that. I mean it it was really about my 00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:45.859 own attitude. I think I Might not have realized 00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:49.180 that then Well, it's kind of worked out quite 00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:50.880 well, I'd say, because we're here chatting about 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:55.140 it. So we went from one way or another, each 00:18:55.140 --> 00:18:57.759 pathway to another, to another, to another. And 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.339 here you are coming to the UK. Is it your first 00:19:02.339 --> 00:19:06.059 time come to the UK to play? To play. Yeah, I've 00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:08.920 been there to visit, but never to play. So I'm 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.319 very, very excited to get over there. Cool. And 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.890 you're supporting... would obviously be zombies 00:19:16.890 --> 00:19:21.730 to her, but unfortunately... Oh, I can't think 00:19:21.730 --> 00:19:25.230 of his name now. Colin. Yeah, one of them had 00:19:25.230 --> 00:19:27.950 a stroke, didn't he? Oh, Rod. Rod, I again. So 00:19:27.950 --> 00:19:30.309 I think that's why it's become a Colin Blundstone 00:19:30.309 --> 00:19:33.009 to her, rather than a zombies to her. But yeah, 00:19:33.029 --> 00:19:34.869 one of them had a stroke, but he's getting there. 00:19:34.910 --> 00:19:36.569 But I think that's the real reason why it became 00:19:36.569 --> 00:19:38.730 a Colin Blundstone to her. But anyway... How 00:19:38.730 --> 00:19:43.200 did that come about? Yeah. Oh, God. touring with 00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.559 well I toured with the zombies on their um their 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.220 northeast tour here in the United States for 00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:54.980 a couple weeks um a few years ago and that just 00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:59.700 I had fortunes out uh which is like these sort 00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:04.259 of sweeping kind of ethereal songs and um their 00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:08.440 manager reached out to my team and and that was 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:14.480 kind of that and so I Yeah, so now I get to now, 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.980 you know, I've over over time I've gotten sort 00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:21.539 of closer to that to that camp and I got invited 00:20:21.539 --> 00:20:26.779 to come and do this and I don't know I Yes, Rod 00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:28.819 Argent was the one I was thinking of from the 00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:30.599 zombies that have the stroke He was the one so 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.039 so hopefully maybe next time but yeah, that's 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.579 that's that's the reason why I think it's a Colin 00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:40.390 Blunstone to however he's a hero in his own right 00:20:40.390 --> 00:20:43.869 early 60s hero with the zombies and yeah absolutely 00:20:43.869 --> 00:20:45.410 there and things like that there's some mega 00:20:45.410 --> 00:20:49.710 songs great name isn't it zombies but but yes 00:20:49.710 --> 00:20:53.490 it is but having said that you this song he brought 00:20:53.490 --> 00:20:56.750 out rather quite country -orientated to a brit 00:20:56.750 --> 00:21:08.029 but how do the did the zombies fans Take warming 00:21:08.029 --> 00:21:09.710 up were they all there were they really there 00:21:09.710 --> 00:21:12.750 because I'm finding this a lot in recent times 00:21:12.750 --> 00:21:16.109 present times we say there's a lot of support 00:21:16.109 --> 00:21:20.690 acts by supporting famous people Boys life is 00:21:20.690 --> 00:21:22.529 another one that come up with lots of country 00:21:22.529 --> 00:21:25.470 American country singers and things Over here 00:21:25.470 --> 00:21:28.369 and it's working the chalk and cheese effect. 00:21:28.369 --> 00:21:30.190 The opposite is working with their audience. 00:21:30.230 --> 00:21:34.609 So are you finding? Is it good are they there 00:21:34.609 --> 00:21:37.490 for you are they cheering and Well, the last 00:21:37.490 --> 00:21:43.250 time, yes. I mean, I got at least a partial standing 00:21:43.250 --> 00:21:49.289 ovation in Virginia at the Birchmere. The Zombies 00:21:49.289 --> 00:21:51.809 fans are incredible. I mean, they're such good 00:21:51.809 --> 00:21:54.589 listeners. They really show. They show up. I 00:21:54.589 --> 00:21:58.170 mean, most of them show up for the Supporting 00:21:58.170 --> 00:22:03.250 Act, which is unusual. It's just a... I think 00:22:03.250 --> 00:22:07.369 they're just... wired to really lean in and listen 00:22:07.369 --> 00:22:14.809 to music. Colin's voice is so gorgeous. And he 00:22:14.809 --> 00:22:21.430 creates an environment musically that I think 00:22:21.430 --> 00:22:25.970 really invites people to just relax and tune 00:22:25.970 --> 00:22:29.029 in. I mean, you don't see people scrolling on 00:22:29.029 --> 00:22:31.349 their phones. You see people watching him as 00:22:31.349 --> 00:22:39.130 mesmerized. I'm glad that you're asking this 00:22:39.130 --> 00:22:42.150 because it is on my mind. Because when I toured 00:22:42.150 --> 00:22:45.250 with them before, it was more of like the piano 00:22:45.250 --> 00:22:50.730 heavy songs. And I will have an acoustic guitar 00:22:50.730 --> 00:22:56.930 player with me this time. I'll be doing both. 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.380 you know, I'll go over and I'll play and there 00:23:00.380 --> 00:23:03.900 will be drama and, you know, all of that stuff. 00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:07.539 And then there will be these lighter, you know, 00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:10.660 as you said, sort of more country leaning. I 00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:14.339 hope it goes well. I hope people listen, you 00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:18.000 know. I predict it's going to because it's three 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.859 American artists so far this year. And we're 00:23:21.859 --> 00:23:23.819 talking about two of them have supported Boy's 00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:28.490 Life. and one of them I'd say is very heavy country 00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:31.930 but yes working so much he's coming over himself 00:23:31.930 --> 00:23:34.789 to do his own tour because he's gone down so 00:23:34.789 --> 00:23:37.950 well so you'll go down fine and yours is quite 00:23:37.950 --> 00:23:40.430 soft and easy going to a Brit you know because 00:23:40.430 --> 00:23:44.849 some heavy country we struggle with yeah it's 00:23:44.849 --> 00:23:46.710 just the way it is we haven't been educated yet 00:23:46.710 --> 00:23:49.250 but um yeah one quick question does your mum 00:23:49.250 --> 00:23:54.049 ever sing on any of your songs? She has not yet. 00:23:54.049 --> 00:23:58.849 I think I am trying to get her to do that. She's 00:23:58.849 --> 00:24:02.750 like, my mom is a really busy lady. She's still, 00:24:04.450 --> 00:24:09.049 she's just still working.

Instagram is my favorite. Jesse Lynn 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:13.859 Madera. And I've got Facebook too, but really 00:26:13.859 --> 00:26:15.799 what happens is I post on Instagram and then 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.960 it just echoes on Facebook. So Instagram is where 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:23.079 I'm most active. And I've got a YouTube channel, 00:26:23.220 --> 00:26:28.059 same name, Jesse Lynn Madera. And my website, 00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:32.450 www .jesselynmadera .com. And just let's just 00:26:32.450 --> 00:26:37.799 do it there. So Jesse, J -E -S -S -E. l -y -n 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:42.700 -n -m -a -d -e -r -a jessilimadeira .com I'm 00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:45.619 looking at it now. Beautiful picture. It is. 00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:47.559 That monochrome black and white picture is lovely. 00:26:47.740 --> 00:26:49.279 But let's go to your home page, which is obviously 00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.279 what they're going to see first. And basically 00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.519 all that social media you just read out is the 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:55.900 left -hand corner going down. So if they could 00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:59.619 just remember jessilimadeira .com they could 00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:01.000 just go straight there and click on whatever 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.569 they want to to the next links anyway. Jesse 00:27:04.569 --> 00:27:06.410 Limadira, Lisa Slower, it's great meeting you, 00:27:06.589 --> 00:27:08.289 I've loved chatting to you and hopefully we can 00:27:08.289 --> 00:27:11.309 do it again and every success with the song and 00:27:11.309 --> 00:27:14.109 the tour and it will work because there's a pattern 00:27:14.109 --> 00:27:17.289 of American artists coming over and supporting 00:27:17.289 --> 00:27:18.910 our accent, it's totally different, it's working. 00:27:19.890 --> 00:27:23.109 Cool, I hope so.
