How are you? 00:01:43.590 --> 00:01:46.109 I'm wonderful. Thank you very much for having 00:01:46.109 --> 00:01:48.370 me. It's a pleasure to be here. Oh, that's great. 00:01:48.409 --> 00:01:51.010 And thank you. I got introduced, yes, we were 00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:53.560 just saying our fair literally then. God introduced 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.299 you by Chris Spira of Space Angel Music and he 00:01:57.299 --> 00:02:00.120 sent some of your songs along, you know, for 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.040 consideration for a Chatterbox show that we, 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.760 for the Chatterbox show which you are now on, 00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:09.280 and also for Hit or Miss, which is a lovely little 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.960 show where we basically, we play 12 songs a week 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.300 it is now. Season 4 is just starting and you'll 00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:19.300 be featured on that with a couple of your songs 00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:24.680 and the audience and a panel decide whether they 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.180 think your song will be a hit or a miss. I love 00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:31.360 it. There we go. So that's how it works. The 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.439 winning song each week goes straight through 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.060 to the season final and the second and third 00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:41.360 place songs each week go and they end up fighting 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.439 it out again in one of two semifinals. So that's 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.159 what happened to your songs and I heard some 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.759 and I thought... I like this girl. Yeah, we'll 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.460 get her on for an interview. And there we go. 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.860 So that's where we are. Thank you for having 00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:58.860 me. It's great. Did you did you listen to in 00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:02.639 particular? Well, I will tell you those one second. 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.939 So I've been looking at your website as well. 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:13.259 Here we go. Jacqueline and do do do do do hooked 00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:19.539 on you. I liked and so it goes. Rogue waves. 00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:24.039 One more time. I've got a feeling I've listened 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.759 to some more, but I think you've heard I'm done. 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.439 And then there was a recent song that we just 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.020 released called Let's Close Our Eyes, which is 00:03:34.699 --> 00:03:37.259 which is my latest release. And actually, when 00:03:37.259 --> 00:03:39.259 I'm finished with you this afternoon, I'm on 00:03:39.259 --> 00:03:41.379 a roll right now and just really enjoying the 00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:43.379 whole writing process. I think a lot of it has 00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:45.139 to do with the people that I'm collaborating 00:03:45.139 --> 00:03:51.479 with right now here in Miami. the music is just 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.800 coming out like better than I could have hoped 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.639 for. It's been such a great evolution. So I'm 00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:59.740 actually leaving after this interview with you 00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:03.300 to a studio here in Miami called After Hours 00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:06.360 to record a new song called Broken Glass, which 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.879 I cannot wait to send to you so that you can 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.699 perhaps play for your listeners. Is that already 00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:17.579 completed? It's completely completed. I was in 00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:20.680 the studio on Monday. two different studios here 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.620 in Miami, working with a gentleman, two time 00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:25.839 Grammy award winner, his name is Marlo Rosado. 00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:29.819 And a lot of it has to do with the rapport that 00:04:29.819 --> 00:04:34.000 you have with your collaborator. He will sit 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.860 together at his keyboard in his studio and he's 00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:40.160 so multi -talented and he will just... play a 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.639 progression of chords for me and say, do you 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.740 like this? And I'm generally like 1000 % loving 00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:49.079 it. And he then says, okay, why don't we put 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.620 this together and we'll do this and I'll send 00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:54.300 you the chords and then you write the lyric. 00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:56.379 And so we've been doing this together. Now we're 00:04:56.379 --> 00:04:59.899 on our fifth or sixth song. And so Monday we 00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:02.399 were sitting together in the studio and I do 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.220 what we call a guide vocal for, I then take it 00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:08.819 to my mixer, Andrew, who's wonderful and engineer. 00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:13.839 in Miami. I'm sorry, go ahead. No, I was just 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.379 going to say, I thought you stopped. There's 00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:17.639 a very slight delay, but that happens. I was 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.360 just going to say, if you can get that to me, 00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:21.100 I will stick that in the interview when it goes 00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:25.180 out. Oh, I will absolutely do that. Yeah, I will 00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:27.600 do that. Yeah, we'll be releasing that one really 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.680 soon. It's called Broken Glass and it's more 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.319 of a, I like this one a lot because it's very 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.300 dancey and it's almost like a vintage retro kind 00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:41.579 of a disco kind of a great vibe. So I'm excited 00:05:41.579 --> 00:05:44.819 about it. It's a little edgy as I like to call 00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:47.180 some of my songs. That's brilliant. No, that 00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:50.079 is absolutely brilliant. I like that. Now, looking 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.279 at your website, you do have a great website 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.819 and we do your social media right at the end, 00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:57.560 so everybody knows. Born in L .A. and you've 00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.800 already mentioned Miami, you were raised in Miami, 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.579 but it's quite a story really. So what were you 00:06:03.579 --> 00:06:05.720 listening to as a kid? What was being played 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.600 at home? What were your influences? Oh, you know, 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.240 and there was so much. Thankfully, I had an older 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.740 sister who was 10 years older, so she would play 00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:18.100 the Beatles. would play Carole King, who's one 00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:21.019 of my icons and favorite songwriters of all time, 00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:24.920 James Taylor, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.620 Nicks, Christine McGree, very big influences 00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:32.500 on my growing up years listening to great music. 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.920 And just, and current artists are, you know, 00:06:37.100 --> 00:06:41.120 aplenty, a lot of them from the UK that I absolutely 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.860 adore, Amy Winehouse and Adele and Well, these 00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:50.040 guys are not British. But anyway, those are a 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:51.939 few of the ones that I love listening to growing 00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:56.220 up. And yeah, I used to sit and play my Carole 00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:58.920 King record until there was no more grooves left 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:04.019 in the record on repeat. So yes, that was it 00:07:04.019 --> 00:07:06.579 was fun growing up. I lived in LA till I was 00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:09.439 I was six and then my family moved to Miami Beach. 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.920 So I but I've always gone back and forth. So 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.600 I have a lot of the fact the and so it goes album 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.040 that you just mentioned several of those songs 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.519 that you've listened to. I recorded at Westlake 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.519 Studios in Los Angeles. And this was the studio 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.740 where Michael Jackson recorded his Thriller album. 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.399 So you can imagine the great energy and vibration 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.959 walking into these studios and being able to 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.980 record music there was a thrill. Must have been. 00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:38.959 Must have been. It was. It was. Must have given 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.120 you extra energy or something just knowing that. 00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:47.220 Absolutely. Well, the other another little side 00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:49.319 tidbit is today I'll be at the studio, a studio 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.980 here in Miami called After Hours, and the owner 00:07:51.980 --> 00:07:55.779 of this studio actually uses the same board that 00:07:55.779 --> 00:07:58.480 the Bee Gees used to do all of their music on. 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.019 So it's all good. It's great. Good energy for 00:08:02.019 --> 00:08:05.600 me. Yeah, love it. Absolutely. Absolutely. Tell 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.519 us, when did you bring your first song out, your 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.860 first single out? When was that and which one 00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:16.050 was it? Okay, well now we're talking true evolution. 00:08:16.629 --> 00:08:22.709 This was a song called the kiss and Well, so 00:08:22.709 --> 00:08:26.129 just to back up a little bit, I met Chris while 00:08:26.129 --> 00:08:28.850 I was with a little band, a little trio at the 00:08:28.850 --> 00:08:32.009 Hard Rock in Fort Lauderdale. I had a gig there. 00:08:32.389 --> 00:08:34.409 I was on their calendar monthly. So Chris came 00:08:34.409 --> 00:08:36.710 in and the gentleman that I was working with 00:08:36.710 --> 00:08:40.129 at that time, a wonderful bass player, also here 00:08:40.129 --> 00:08:44.090 from Miami named Jose Garcia, said to me, you 00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:45.970 know, we're doing so well together. You love 00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:48.350 to sing. Obviously you're a good singer. And 00:08:48.350 --> 00:08:50.230 he said, would you be interested in writing? 00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:51.960 you have any interest in writing? And I was like, 00:08:52.059 --> 00:08:54.840 Sure, I would I would love to put my my pen to 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.519 paper and see what I can come up with. And so 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.320 the first song that I came up with is a song 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.600 called the kiss. And do you want to know the 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.980 background for the kiss? Please, please. So yes, 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.779 it the guy that I was dating at the time, obviously, 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.419 I ultimately began dating. It was really this 00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:17.240 this first time meeting with him and and kind 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.629 of like, just looking at that face and instantly 00:09:20.629 --> 00:09:25.309 wanting to kiss him. So from that, fortunately, 00:09:25.470 --> 00:09:28.190 I did go on to date him and we are now married 00:09:28.190 --> 00:09:32.649 for many years. It works. Perfect. That's the 00:09:32.649 --> 00:09:36.169 first one. And it just goes from there. And as 00:09:36.169 --> 00:09:39.350 you can imagine, the relationship shifts and 00:09:39.350 --> 00:09:41.929 changes. So it brings out all kinds of good songwriting. 00:09:42.029 --> 00:09:46.470 That's brilliant. This is Twinkle, she loves 00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:49.669 saying hello to everybody. Hi Twinkle, what a 00:09:49.669 --> 00:09:52.529 cutie. She runs around, everyone she wants, you 00:09:52.529 --> 00:09:59.529 know, now she's done it, she's fine. Everyone's 00:09:59.529 --> 00:10:02.789 met her. Even Pete Best from The Beatles, the 00:10:02.789 --> 00:10:04.850 first drummer, even he's met her. Oh, that's 00:10:04.850 --> 00:10:09.429 fabulous. Everyone, literally. Okay, let's talk 00:10:09.429 --> 00:10:14.440 about... Live music. I mean, concerts, gigs. 00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:16.580 I mean, do you do some of that? Have you done? 00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:20.580 Is it bars? Where is it? Many live appearances 00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:24.179 in the past. I was actually performed on the 00:10:24.179 --> 00:10:27.159 Sunset Strip in California and West Hollywood 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:31.440 at several of the venues there. Definitely worked 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.559 at the Hard Rock, as I had mentioned before. 00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:39.000 That was an ongoing thing. Of lately, I've been 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.720 asked to do private events, which I've been happy 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.860 to lend my voice to, along with a great band 00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:48.000 that I work with here in Miami. And then, you 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.440 know, I don't know if you can see my piano in 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.559 the background. Beautiful grand piano. Yeah, 00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:55.820 I'd love to have just, you know, these wonderful 00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:58.320 musicians here in Miami come over and we will 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:02.059 jam together. And if an opportunity exists, I 00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:03.899 would love to go out and do some great more, 00:11:03.899 --> 00:11:07.210 you know, some more performing live.

Let's just talk about the other 00:11:22.190 --> 00:11:27.740 side of the pond as in my side. Is it just quite 00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:30.639 new to you, the UK, like through shows like my 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.919 own, or have you already been getting established 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.539 here with various radio stations already?

So there you 00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:26.840 go. So let's hope. I love it. Thank you so much 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.820 for this. We're taking a quick break to talk 00:12:30.820 --> 00:12:33.799 about the fuel behind today's episode. If you're 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.080 like me, coffee isn't just a morning ritual. 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.360 It's an But let's be honest, the traditional 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.940 coffee cycle usually ends up in a mid afternoon 00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:45.240 crash or those caffeine jitters that actually 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.750 make it harder to focus. That's why I'm so excited 00:12:48.750 --> 00:12:50.669 to share that this show is brought to you in 00:12:50.669 --> 00:12:53.269 association with the Strong Coffee Company.

Don't 00:15:31.870 --> 00:15:34.149 have to thank me, you've got yourself here really. 00:15:36.250 --> 00:15:39.490 Moving on, now we've got this new release which 00:15:39.490 --> 00:15:43.120 you're going to send to me. Let's look it slightly 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.740 into the future. Maybe we could say six months 00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:48.059 or even a year's time, whichever you prefer. 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.139 And if you were to come back onto Chatterbox, 00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:53.720 what would you like to be telling me you've achieved? 00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:57.220 You know, your timing is impeccable to ask this 00:15:57.220 --> 00:16:00.840 question. So I'm at the threshold now. I have 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:05.019 been what my collaborators would say quite lazy 00:16:05.019 --> 00:16:09.899 in the social media world. I just, I don't know 00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:12.740 what it is. Maybe it's just not my genre. I shouldn't 00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:15.639 say that because I truly am proud of the music 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.779 that I have written that I put out, truly am. 00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:22.620 And I think the shift for me at this stage is 00:16:22.620 --> 00:16:28.100 that I do... I do intend to have a much broader 00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:31.480 base of listeners and an audience. And in order 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.779 to achieve that, as you know, as you well know, 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.620 in the music industry today, it requires a lot 00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:39.720 of social media and a lot of putting yourself 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.519 out there and having a spotlight shown on you. 00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:45.740 So I am in the process of working with somebody 00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:49.059 from my collaborators here who have just been 00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:52.340 insisting. And I have been reluctant and they're 00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:54.820 saying, you know, Jacqueline, enough of if you're 00:16:54.820 --> 00:16:56.879 sitting back and just listening or having your 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.019 own little fan base or your friends and family, 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.899 this music is too good to not. So I intend to 00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:07.819 say that in six months time, there will be a 00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:10.500 much broader audience than my music that I am 00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:15.099 so deeply proud of. And I do feel listeners would 00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:18.900 enjoy listening to it. It will increase and it 00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:22.519 will definitely, it'll pay itself forward in 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.250 that way. what you've done already sounds fantastic 00:17:25.250 --> 00:17:28.490 I mean it wasn't a question of you know sometimes 00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:31.289 you get set I mean obviously if Chris Spearer 00:17:31.289 --> 00:17:34.589 sends me something I do listen to it anyway because 00:17:34.589 --> 00:17:39.049 he doesn't just touch anyone you know but I was 00:17:39.049 --> 00:17:41.509 sold straight away I was thinking oh this is 00:17:41.509 --> 00:17:44.200 this is this is good So listen to the next one 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.740 and the next one and the next one. So, you know, 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.579 they are good songs. So you've really got the 00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:51.500 standards already there. You believe in what 00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:54.460 you do and it's great what you do. So, you know, 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.700 so I definitely do. I think that most of this 00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:02.700 is just stemming from the evolution of of of 00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:04.740 just getting better at the skill of songwriting 00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:09.259 and understanding, you know, what works, what 00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:11.990 doesn't work, you know, the little nuance. that 00:18:11.990 --> 00:18:15.269 we put into our music today and the storytelling. 00:18:15.769 --> 00:18:20.410 To me, it's just joyful. It's my passion. Yeah, 00:18:20.410 --> 00:18:26.630 sure. And the whole, what do we call it now, 00:18:27.009 --> 00:18:30.049 sort of all the different platforms there are, 00:18:30.170 --> 00:18:33.410 social media. Now, I mean, I sort of got sold 00:18:33.410 --> 00:18:36.650 to a lot of it now, but I mean, I'm like, oh, 00:18:36.650 --> 00:18:41.210 I'm 56 now. So, you know, yeah I'm one of these 00:18:41.210 --> 00:18:43.130 sort of generations that eventually got onto 00:18:43.130 --> 00:18:45.589 Facebook eventually about 2011 and things like 00:18:45.589 --> 00:18:48.390 that and things like that and I dread to think 00:18:48.390 --> 00:18:50.690 how old I was when I sent my first email I dread 00:18:50.690 --> 00:18:55.900 to think that I wasn't that young but It's such 00:18:55.900 --> 00:18:57.740 a massive... and there's so much of it as well. 00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:01.720 I've got myself on Instagram and Facebook's good. 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:04.900 We've got Mixed Cloud here so the radio stations 00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:08.039 go up and all the songs are left in place because 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.279 they do a certain thing with copyright and they 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.000 pay the copyright people upfront and we can play 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.240 three or four songs in one hour of the same artist. 00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:20.099 So basically, eventually, it will filter back 00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:23.259 to you from the British... side and that's great 00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:26.740 that we got mixed cloud as well so you know linkedin 00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:30.299 and all these other ones and oh so many i've 00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:33.220 just discovered a few more recently but uh yeah 00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:37.160 social media yeah it's incredible years ago years 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.819 ago you would well we we would either be having 00:19:40.819 --> 00:19:46.000 this interview I've a very crackly landline call 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.079 and we'd probably lose each other twice it'd 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.259 be so expensive but we could see each other we 00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:54.220 could it's incredible now so all of that plugging 00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:56.380 and all those in just say you were coming to 00:19:56.380 --> 00:20:00.619 the UK for a national tour you would be going 00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:02.880 from radio station to radio so you'd be going 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.940 from Brighton to London to Manchester to Liverpool 00:20:07.369 --> 00:20:11.089 No, this is exactly the way that artists musicians 00:20:11.089 --> 00:20:13.410 had, you know, did it. They had to convince the 00:20:13.410 --> 00:20:16.269 DJ, the disc jockey at the radio station to first 00:20:16.269 --> 00:20:18.990 listen to the song because, you know, that's 00:20:18.990 --> 00:20:21.230 the first part. And then secondly, whether the 00:20:21.230 --> 00:20:23.789 disc jockey likes it enough to say, okay, I'll 00:20:23.789 --> 00:20:26.170 give it some airplay. And then, you know, like 00:20:26.170 --> 00:20:27.809 you're saying, and then you track to the next 00:20:27.809 --> 00:20:30.809 radio station. Yeah, no, we are definitely living 00:20:30.809 --> 00:20:35.490 in a much easier world with all the social platforms 00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:37.970 that are out there now. I just need to, you know, 00:20:38.349 --> 00:20:42.410 I've been on the bandwagon, but very, very, you 00:20:42.410 --> 00:20:44.529 know, remotely, like, I don't really, like, I 00:20:44.529 --> 00:20:46.750 don't throw it out there for people to say, oh, 00:20:46.750 --> 00:20:49.289 I was in the studio today. Like, quite honestly, 00:20:49.690 --> 00:20:52.170 does everybody like to know if somebody was in 00:20:52.170 --> 00:20:55.410 the studio today? I guess, you know, I guess 00:20:55.410 --> 00:21:01.900 so. Yeah, but it is something that I definitely 00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:05.400 now know is paramount and it's gonna go full 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:07.859 thrust and full speed ahead because the music 00:21:07.859 --> 00:21:11.400 is just too good and the musicians that I'm working 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.019 with are so multi -talented and they're only 00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:18.519 bringing out more talent in me or creating more 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:24.339 of a thrust for me to dig deeper, to write. clever 00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:27.420 lyrics and to come up with a different way of 00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:29.579 saying something that someone else has already 00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:32.500 said a million times and then add the nuances 00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:35.000 and add the oohs and the ahs and just to make 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:40.680 it sexy and appealing and something that we want 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:43.539 to listen to. Well, at the end of the day, yes, 00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:49.009 I guess. Posting that you've been in the recording 00:21:49.009 --> 00:21:51.829 studio today is important to the extent that 00:21:51.829 --> 00:21:53.970 it's positive. People know that you're active 00:21:53.970 --> 00:21:55.910 and you're busy and things. So probably, yes, 00:21:55.970 --> 00:21:57.650 it is a good thing. You don't think of it that 00:21:57.650 --> 00:22:00.849 way. It's a positive post, isn't it? You're doing 00:22:00.849 --> 00:22:03.890 something, you're busy. It is. It absolutely 00:22:03.890 --> 00:22:07.369 is. And it took me a moment to really realize, 00:22:07.609 --> 00:22:09.950 and I've been doing this for 10 years now, so 00:22:09.950 --> 00:22:12.410 it's not like I'm just beginning to walk into 00:22:12.410 --> 00:22:15.250 a studio. I mean, it's my most comfortable place 00:22:15.250 --> 00:22:18.769 to be, quite honestly. I am at my happiest in 00:22:18.769 --> 00:22:22.170 front of a microphone and pouring my heart out 00:22:22.170 --> 00:22:25.309 and thinking about the images of the lyrics that 00:22:25.309 --> 00:22:28.150 I'm writing and what brought me there. It just 00:22:28.150 --> 00:22:32.960 gives me a high. I guess I shouldn't just be 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.579 doing this for myself. I should actually like 00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:42.119 share that with others. So yeah. What is it called? 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.259 Late to the party or something? I don't know. 00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:48.500 All good though. At least I have a lot of beautiful 00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:51.299 content now. So I do feel comfortable having 00:22:51.299 --> 00:22:53.440 that. And it's not like I'm just having to find 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:58.119 things to share. They're there. I think next 00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.500 time we chat, we must meet up again. And I think 00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:03.619 next time we chat, we go for a bit longer, because 00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:05.160 you've got another interview. I've got one coming 00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:07.500 up. But what I do, I think we put aside. I'll 00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:09.559 just say an email when we arrange it. And I say, 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:14.079 maybe we should do 45 minutes or even 45 minutes 00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:15.980 to an hour if you've got the time next time we 00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:18.980 chat. And we go a bit more in depth about albums 00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:21.240 and stuff like that. And Sue, my partner, she 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.359 does the interviews as well. She should be in 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.759 on that one as well. Yes, we must do something 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:32.039 next year for sure. But before I let you go... 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:33.779 Sue loves your hair, by the way. She says it's 00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:38.799 wonderful. Thank you, Sue. So, let's do your 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.660 social media thing. Let's start with your website, 00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:49.059 JacquelineBMusic .com. Now, J -A -C -Q -U -E 00:23:49.059 --> 00:23:55.150 -L -Y -N -B Music .com. We click on that and 00:23:55.150 --> 00:23:58.329 we're on your home page. Well, there's everything. 00:23:58.490 --> 00:24:00.289 There's music, there's lyrics, there's lots of 00:24:00.289 --> 00:24:02.910 photos, videos and things like that. But if we 00:24:02.910 --> 00:24:06.210 were to scroll down on that home page, we've 00:24:06.210 --> 00:24:08.490 got the links to a load of your social media 00:24:08.490 --> 00:24:12.349 such as Twitter, X. You've got your Facebook 00:24:12.349 --> 00:24:15.690 link there and you've got your YouTube link there 00:24:15.690 --> 00:24:19.170 as well to your channel. What other social media 00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:21.210 do you have that you'd like to share with our 00:24:21.210 --> 00:24:23.700 listeners? Instagram, I guess that would be the 00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:26.319 only other one. And currently what we're going 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:31.259 to be doing is mainly Instagram, YouTube, and 00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:34.380 Facebook. So going forward, yeah, that'll be 00:24:34.380 --> 00:24:37.980 the three that we'll focus on. Yes. That's fantastic. 00:24:38.140 --> 00:24:39.660 And I'm going to look forward to editing this 00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:42.160 and receiving your new songs. So get that to 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:44.500 me as soon as you can. That'd be wonderful. I 00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:47.440 will do that. All right. It was such a pleasure 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.599 to meet you. Pleasure to meet you too. Thank 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:51.420 you so much for your time. Great to meet you 00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:54.920 last. Thank you. All the best. Bye bye now. Bye. 00:24:55.180 --> 00:25:26.880 Bye bye. Bye.
