Transcript

00:00I'm going to take you on a sound journey using some of my favorite things.

00:30So I have Palo Santo, major key, it comes from a tree and it smells really good and

00:52it clears energy.

00:53I like to use it around the house or around my studio when I create good vibes, good good

01:13vibes.

01:14I'm from D.C., probably in North Carolina and I think I started making music when I

01:25was in North Carolina for real and out there I really learned how to connect with nature

01:32and be just a kid climbing in trees and shit, you know.

01:38And so that really comes through in my music and just who I am as a person, I love natural

01:46things and I love to find ways to connect with nature, it brings me peace.

01:53Some of my biggest musical inspirations are Janis Joplin, she was really far out, and

02:04Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, all three of them have crazy voices and they were really

02:10great songwriters, producers, and then I love Tina Turner, she's awesome.

02:18She also was an influence to help me realize like just as important as being the artist

02:25it's important to be balanced and have like a sound mind and spirit, so shout out to her.

02:34Like the list goes on and on about who for real influenced me, but also my aunts and

02:42my mom, like they kind of influenced me more than anything else because they encouraged

02:50me to write my own music and produce, and play piano and things like that, you know.

03:00Shouts out to these folks in Peru.

03:10This is my favorite thing ever, it's my water bottle.

03:16And it's full.

03:21If anyone sees me without my water bottle you know I'm having a bad day.

03:32Because I am a little rose and I need to be hydrated at all times in order to be at peak performance.

03:44I don't like plastic because it's bad for all of the animals in the ocean, and it's

03:49bad for just the environment.

03:52But this little guy just keeps me like hydrated and it keeps everything cold.

03:59I know everybody has their faves but, you know.

04:05I just found her out one day and it was perfect because it's beige and it's just my vibe.

04:15Drink water, it's good for you.

04:20My sign, my sun sign is Leo, my rising is Aquarius, and my moon is Cancer.

04:30I think it fits me very well because when I found out I was a Leo, my dad's birthday

04:38is the day after mine, and he's like the biggest personality in the world.

04:42And I was just like, I don't really relate to all of that because sometimes I'm a big

04:46personality but most of the time I be chilling.

04:50And so then I found out I was a Cancer moon, which is like your emotions or whatever.

04:57And that more is my vibe, like I'm super emotional, I cry at movies.

05:03I cry a lot.

05:07I'm just very sensitive.

05:09And then Aquarius are like the oddball out of the group.

05:14And that's kind of how I, sometimes, I guess that's how I present myself.

05:19It's just more like, unique.

05:23And I kind of **** with that.

05:25So, yeah, those are my signs.

05:32My new EP, produced by BadBadNotGood, Slow Burn.

05:39It's an EP.

05:40It's light but it's heavy though.

05:43This is some of the rawest music I've ever made.

05:47We did it all on tape.

05:49I was in the booth, they were in the live room and we did it at the same time.

05:55It was just emotional.

06:00It was raw.

06:02It's unfiltered.

06:04And I'm really proud of that.

06:05And, you know, it's definitely sending me the way that I've always known I want to be.

06:15Just like, raw.

06:18And guitars and drums and just like, floating.

06:23I've always been that way on stage but now it's just like, taking it to tape is a new level.

06:30Because it's like, rehearsing as well as performing as well as just laying the damn song down.

06:37So, I'm already mentally there.

06:42Yeah.

06:44One of my favorite songs to perform live.

06:52For a long time, it was all to myself.

06:56Because it was like, a chance that I got to just be, break it down and be one on one with everybody.

07:04And kind of just, take off that mask and just be like, look, I know there are people out here that are hurting.

07:12And that need to, you know, walk away with something here.

07:16And I want you to walk away with this sense of love and pride.

07:23There was also the song, Power, that I had on my last album, Through and Through.

07:28Because I would get the audience to sing it with me.

07:31Like, love has the power to heal the whole wide world.

07:34And it'd be so precious to just be one sound.

07:38Singing that, I'm a firm believer in like, the power of words.

07:43And to speak affirmations, to speak things into existence.

07:49And so, having people walk away with that on their heart, it felt like I'm doing God's work with that.

07:55And so, I can't wait to perform Slow Burn.

07:59Because I feel like that's going to be an even more transcendent experience as well.

08:12She's full.

08:19I love to paint.

08:21It's like my favorite thing to do.

08:23That's how to make music.

08:27Let's have watercolors.

08:30Let's see how to open this thing.

08:33There she goes.

08:42All the pretty colors, you see that?

08:48I like watercolors because that's like, my medium of choice.

08:57We have new brushes, praise God.

09:04So yeah, this is a very nice book by the way.

09:11Very thick pages, we love that.

09:13Love to see it.

09:19So yeah, this is kind of what I do with my free time, low key.

09:27I go outside and I paint.

09:31I wish I knew how to speak every language ever.

09:36Because then I'd be able to talk to anybody.

09:39And it would be so awesome.

09:41I'd be able to understand everything.

09:44But I don't.

09:46I don't.

09:47I don't.

09:48I don't.

09:49I don't.

09:50I don't.

09:51I don't.

09:52I don't.

09:53I don't.

09:54I don't.

09:55I don't.

09:56I don't.

09:57I don't.

09:58Everything.

10:00But it's just...

10:01I don't know.

10:02It's so hard to learn all the things.

10:07But I'm learning, I'm doing my little duolingo, baby.

10:11One week at a time.

10:19If I won the lottery tomorrow, what is it at?

10:21Like a billion dollars?

10:23If I won the lottery tomorrow, what I would do first is pay off my mom's house in secret

10:32and then just surprise her and then she'd be like, oh my god, and I'd be like, great.

10:36And then the second thing I would do, or the, like, the, I'm mad, you know what I'm saying,

10:42like, what I for real would do probably would be like book a date at the craziest bar ever,

10:52ever.

10:53And then just go and like have a ball, have a ball, dog, it'd be great.

11:06Chapstick is so essential to life, okay, to my life.

11:14Oh shit, I should be on my mic.

11:21This is classic, it don't get better than this, baby.

11:25No flavors, we don't need the additives, the preservatives.

11:32ASMR.

11:34That's not making a sound, but it's okay, it protects your lips, yeah, always keep that

12:00thing on me.

12:05You see how pleasant that is, like, hold on, I gotta put it back in there, wow, so, yeah,

12:15love Chapstick.

12:16I think the most surreal moment in my career so far was probably making a project with

12:25Bad, Bad, Not Good, the very first day that we met, okay, I wasn't even supposed to make

12:30any music.

12:31Shout out Freddie Gibbs, he didn't show up to a session, and I took that as an opportunity,

12:40I played them some music, and they were like, okay, let's make something, let's just try

12:45something.

12:46And we ended up making One Last Dance, and Another Record, It's Alright, that same day,

12:53and both of those are on the project.

12:55And so, yeah, man, it was just, it was magic from there, like, I always knew if we were

13:03to make something, it would be crazy, but I didn't know just how easy it would be, and

13:10just the chemistry was just there, like, we did both of those songs in five hours, and

13:15it was my first time on tape, too, so it was just, like, meant to be, so that was pretty

13:22surreal for me.

13:24My best self-love advice would be to keep it simple in all areas of your life.

13:32Sometimes, we tend to overcomplicate things, and we feel like we need to know all the answers,

13:40and that we're not enough, and all of the things just start to compile, and it just

13:44gets really big and scary, but, no, that's when you just need to go outside, take your

13:53shoes off, put your feet in the grass, and just be like, breathe, and just be like, man,

13:59it's so cool to be a human being, like, this is kind of cool, right, yeah, and then you're

14:07back at ground zero, and treat yourself like how you treat your friends, the people you

14:15love, like, don't be so hard on yourself, you're just a little being at the end of the

14:20day, just floating in the ocean, you're just a little being, and you should be very gentle

14:27with yourself, that's what I would say.

14:31Thank you so much for coming to my mind massage, and make sure you check out my EP, produced

14:38by BadBadNotGood, Slow Burn.

14:44Beautiful, that was great, thank you so, so much.
