00:00Her name is Julianne.
00:01Hello, Miss Julianne.
00:02Nice to meet you.
00:02Does she work?
00:03She does work.
00:04You want me to play it, don't you?
00:06Okay.
00:06Wait, I need you to play it.
00:07I need it.
00:10Hey, everyone, and welcome to Real Talk, where it gets hot, spicy, and to the drama.
00:14Today, we have Luke Charles-Strafford, the star of Accidental Surrogate for Alpha.
00:19Luke, thank you so much for coming back.
00:22I'm so excited for this episode, especially because I've been stalking your music a little
00:27bit.
00:27And it's so good.
00:29I cry.
00:29I get emotional.
00:30I can't wait to hear about it.
00:31Thank you so much.
00:32I'm very humbled to be here in any capacity.
00:35And I'm grateful you listened to my music.
00:37Yeah.
00:37That's huge.
00:38Oh, my gosh.
00:39Yeah, I stalked a little bit.
00:40I know the fans do, too.
00:42So tell me a little bit about your background.
00:45How long have you been doing music?
00:46Slash what were your influences growing up?
00:49Sure.
00:50Well, I started in music before.
00:52It was always acting and music.
00:54But music is where I very, very first started.
00:56I started on the saxophone in middle school.
01:01Before the saxophone creeped in, I was so moved by film scores, which was a big inspiration.
01:11And the way that an artist could make a group of people feel in a room, you know?
01:15Yeah.
01:15I have a list of artists I can tell you, but just that on a bass level hit me.
01:21I think I said this in our last episode, but to call it back real quick, music struck me early on.
01:29I was in band.
01:29I was in choir.
01:31You know, I was in those things.
01:32And the fact that something about music could steal someone's attention, and it was this language that we all spoke.
01:41Even when we all speak different dialects and tongues and languages, we're all so different.
01:45But music is this thing that we all speak.
01:48And feel.
01:49You know?
01:50Yeah.
01:50Exactly.
01:50It's fun.
01:51Oh, we feeling it.
01:53Exactly.
01:53Or you get goosebumps on your arm because it's like, you know?
01:57So, yeah.
01:59Anyway, that's where it started for me.
02:01What made you choose wind instruments?
02:05Yeah.
02:06So, I think also, like I said in the last podcast, I had a rough start.
02:11Really wanted to act.
02:12Really wanted to sing and song write.
02:13I saw myself doing both.
02:15Yeah.
02:16And I had a really bad first audition.
02:19As we do.
02:20Middle school.
02:21I was so scared.
02:22I just yelled the notes.
02:24I share a little bit more about that in the last episode.
02:26So, go watch that out.
02:28My brother was in high school.
02:29He's five years older.
02:30He was in the marching band.
02:31He's playing saxophone.
02:33And I was told I was tone deaf right after that hilarious moment or horrible moment.
02:39And so, what I probably would have, this is kind of interesting, what would have been
02:44the next probably 10 years of singing and, you know, the stuff I'm doing now got instead
02:51diverted and poured into the saxophone.
02:54Okay.
02:54The saxophone became my voice.
02:56Okay.
02:56And was this inspired from your brother because he was playing?
03:00Yeah.
03:01Seeing him in the marching band was very competitive.
03:04It was like a...
03:05Oh.
03:05Is it?
03:06Marching band?
03:07Yeah.
03:07Marching band.
03:08What's marching?
03:08Okay.
03:08So, I'm from New York.
03:10Okay.
03:11And I never...
03:12We never had that.
03:14Yeah.
03:14And I always see it in movies.
03:15And I'm like, that's so fun.
03:16Like, the outfits and everything.
03:18Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:19I just...
03:20I don't have that.
03:21So, what was marching band like?
03:23If you could cliff note that for me.
03:25It's like a huge sport.
03:27Especially if you were good.
03:28Okay.
03:28You were competing.
03:29Always competitive for state.
03:30We were one of the best, right?
03:31So, it was taken very seriously.
03:34The same way that you see, like, really highly competitive sports, there was that element
03:38to it.
03:38Okay.
03:39Right?
03:40But it was also so epic in that you're with this group of people for just a few months
03:45putting together a show to try to win a title across your state.
03:50And it was always very...
03:52We were lucky.
03:53We had a very strong music program.
03:54And just, it was so formative for me because it was also one of my first ways as a teenager
04:01that I began to express myself musically.
04:04And it was, again, it's instrumental.
04:06So, it's all emotion, no words.
04:08And so, that was...
04:09Those were some very formative years.
04:11But the saxophone was what I chose in place of really pursuing singing and songwriting.
04:19Okay.
04:19So, what else was your musical inspiration growing up to make you, outside of just doing
04:25saxophone land, what made you kind of get into...
04:29I actually kind of want to be the singer and I want to actually produce and make the whole
04:34thing happen.
04:34There's so much to it.
04:36Early years being in bands.
04:38Let me go a little further back.
04:39Oh, so you were in bands.
04:40You have done so much.
04:42Yeah.
04:43So, you were in band band, like school band, and then you had like your own band, like
04:46a little like...
04:47Well, I would join different bands of groups and they would want a saxophonist.
04:50Oh, so you would be the traveling soldier.
04:52Yeah.
04:53And they're like, this group, this band needs a saxophonist.
04:56Okay.
04:57And then, as I started developing my singing voice, then they would say, and you can sing
05:01back up to her, blah, blah, blah.
05:02See, so it was always yanking me out of my shell.
05:04But in my heart, I always knew it was like, man, I feel like I'm supposed to be out there.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Anyway, and so, but just to go back a little bit.
05:15But artists like Elvis stuck out to me the way he would, just his charisma stuck out
05:24to me the way he was able to hold a certain level of musical excellence, but also like
05:28yank people in.
05:30I mentioned film scores.
05:31Film scores always stuck out to me because you can move someone.
05:36I still, if I'm working on something and need like background music, I'll put on John Williams
05:40or...
05:41What's your favorite score?
05:42Well, I know everyone knows I'm a Superman fan.
05:45I really love John Williams' Superman score.
05:48Very hopeful.
05:49And then I loved Hans Zimmer's take on Superman with Man of Steel.
05:53I just loved it.
05:55Yeah.
05:55It made me feel hope and like purpose and those are great.
05:58And then the Interstellar score from Hans Zimmer as well just always takes me to a place
06:04of introspection.
06:05Those really all stick out to me.
06:07But then the Gladiator score, bro.
06:09New or old?
06:11The original.
06:11Okay, yeah.
06:13We Are Free.
06:14Yeah.
06:14The track We Are Free from...
06:16Yeah, it's like...
06:17Yeah.
06:18That's it.
06:19Yeah.
06:19Game over.
06:20Game over.
06:21Like stuff like that.
06:22So those all stuck out to me.
06:26And then being in bands and choirs and things like that, I was so deeply affected by how music
06:31is, again, this language that can cause us to...
06:34Just the power of it.
06:35I think if anyone has experienced music or loves music or found a music you love, you
06:38know what I'm talking about.
06:39Like it's this language that drives us and moves us.
06:43It's not a mathematic.
06:43We use math to end music to better become skillful, to execute.
06:49But the whole point of something musical is to emote.
06:52It's to cause and disrupt with emotion or to bring in motion, whether it's sweet or
06:59strong or angry or soft.
07:01It's amazing how you can encompass every human emotion in a sound.
07:05And then you apply, even if I did a cover, why do I sound different?
07:12Right.
07:13And if I'm singing it exactly how someone else did it.
07:15So the fact that even singers, the tone and the timbre, there's just all these unique
07:19combinations.
07:20Why does...
07:21When Carrie Underwood sings it, it feels like this.
07:23But when Andre Bocelli or Shawn Mendes or sings the same thing or Justin Bieber does...
07:29Pick your genre, pick category, pick whatever.
07:31However, music is this...
07:34It's not an algorithm.
07:36It's an emotion.
07:37And every time we try to capture how to harness the power of it, we're surprised by something
07:42we didn't expect.
07:44It's this elusive muse I feel like we're always chasing musically.
07:47Just the power of music in general.
07:49Right.
07:50Highly philosophical.
07:51But it's just that that always caught me.
07:53That part.
07:54Mm-hmm.
07:55And then I love to watch different...
07:58There's different...
07:59You know, when you're doing anything in acting or music, you're stealing from people.
08:02Like, I love the way Shawn Mendes does a show.
08:05Mm-hmm.
08:07It's the energy he brings.
08:08So I take the film score world of that raw emotion that's unspoken.
08:13The voice of...
08:15I love David Phelps.
08:16I love his voice.
08:17He's a kind of unknown guy who has just the most brilliant voice.
08:20The energy of Elvis.
08:21The pop charisma of doing a show like Shawn.
08:26And you take the things you love and you start to find yourself.
08:29You start to find your sound.
08:30Through their inspir...
08:31They're inspiring you.
08:32They're inspiring me.
08:33And so I light up...
08:36Like, my music is very cinematic.
08:38It's pop music with an overtone of cinematic sounds.
08:43Like, strings and orchestra mixed into, like, the pop rock star type band setting led by big lots of voices.
08:54Even if it's stripped down to just a piano and a voice or it's huge and magical.
09:00If I strip back the layers, I see all those influences somewhere.
09:04I see the film scores that has influenced me as a kid.
09:07I see Elvis's charisma that has made me want to hold on to using real instruments at times.
09:12I've seen, you know, Shawn Mendes' The Way He Does Stuff.
09:17You know, that all has...
09:19And many countless other artists, too, or songs I could keep going.
09:22But that's, I think, how you kind of figure out your sound.
09:26And then also not putting a period.
09:28You want to put a comma.
09:30You never want to feel like you have sung your best note.
09:32You have delivered your best monologue.
09:35You have performed your best song or written your best opus.
09:38You want to always put a comma.
09:39Because you always...
09:41There's a better song out there.
09:43Yeah.
09:43And there's always more to you.
09:45Yeah.
09:45Like, something I had just learned at this stage of life is how vision-based most of my stuff is.
09:53Like, my first single I released is called Still Missing You.
09:58It's pop.
09:59But the music video is all narrative.
10:02Like, it's acting heavy.
10:05And there's a story.
10:06And the story erupted out of me where...
10:09Anyway, I can keep going.
10:10I can tell you how it happened.
10:12But it's very narrative.
10:13Well, that's another question I have, actually, is if you could go into a little bit about your personal sound and your personal story.
10:19And just what made you get this story out?
10:24Like, what was it for you?
10:25Man.
10:26We can just nerd out forever.
10:28I feel like I'm going to sit here and just...
10:29Yeah, that's all we're doing.
10:30We'll be here until tomorrow.
10:31So, if you're hanging with us, thanks so much for being here.
10:36I have...
10:37A lot of my answers are the same as I said when you asked me about acting.
10:40They're really the same.
10:42Okay.
10:42Think about it.
10:43Human issue.
10:45Human stuff that I know I've been through.
10:48But then I know it's like, that's a message in my soul that I got to share because it's personal.
10:54I also believe in trying...
10:56I did this when I started and it didn't work.
10:58Here's what I think people will like.
10:59That's the wrong way to go.
11:00Right, right.
11:01Of course.
11:01Rick Rubin talks about it.
11:02There's a great book by Rick Rubin who's produced the best of the best called The Creative Act.
11:07And this is something he says in his book.
11:08It's a great read.
11:09I highly encourage you.
11:10Any person who has any creativity...
11:13We all actually have creativity.
11:15You know, it takes a lot of creativity to raise some kids, figure out how to do that.
11:19But in creativity, one of the things he says that stuck out to me was, you need to love it.
11:26Yeah.
11:27You need to make it first and foremost because it resonates with you.
11:31You follow what's interesting as you're writing or making something.
11:34You don't...
11:35Like, it hits your soul before you start chasing the rabbit of, I don't know, the people I think would like that or this or that.
11:42Or like what's popular, what's trending.
11:43You gotta follow the...
11:45That's where it feels like it kind of drips down from heaven.
11:49I remember when I wrote Still Missing You.
11:51Is that okay if I share about that?
11:52Yeah, that's where we're at.
11:53Sick.
11:54Okay.
11:55I remember I'm at my piano.
11:57And for me, you know, every songwriter is a little different.
12:00And I had to...
12:01When you figure out yourself, and I'm still doing that, you try stuff.
12:05And you start learning about yourself.
12:07And it's important that you pay attention.
12:09Like, I noticed a lot of, you know, when I finally leaned into...
12:12I'm gonna act, I'm gonna sing and song write.
12:14I'm gonna, you know...
12:15I set the horn down and really pursued it.
12:17I noticed a lot of other songwriters that they would write their words or their lyrics.
12:21And I definitely had an affinity for poetry.
12:24So a lot of my lyrics tend to be more poetic than they are...
12:27Okay.
12:29That's just my natural flavor.
12:30Like worry?
12:30Yeah.
12:31Yeah.
12:31More like emotional?
12:32Yeah, like it's painting a picture using narrative and all that.
12:36That's honest.
12:37It has to be honest.
12:39Yeah.
12:39Versus like just some lyrics can be...
12:42And this is great too.
12:43It's just a sentence that is not like...
12:45You take one of the sentences I just said and you make a lyric.
12:47Or that like sounds poppy or...
12:49Yeah.
12:49You know, sometimes when you listen to a song and you're like...
12:52Oh, I feel like I love this song.
12:53And then you look up the lyrics and you're like...
12:55Really?
12:56That's what you're saying.
12:58Okay.
12:58Like the chorus for Still Missing You is intertwined.
13:01Heart and mind, I'm still missing you.
13:03Peace of mind, lost in time, I'm still missing you.
13:06Mm-hmm.
13:07Right?
13:07Like there's a message there.
13:10Yeah.
13:10There's a little poeticism.
13:12For me, I found as much as I tried, the lyrics don't come first.
13:18Oh.
13:19The emotion, the raw emotion for me.
13:21And so you find that out and you lean in.
13:23Right?
13:24So is that then like the raw emotion of like a story like for you miss what you're talking
13:28about?
13:29Was that maybe like you felt like you wanted to get this story out and all this emotion
13:33about missing this human?
13:34You're going to love this.
13:35I hope you love this.
13:36So I'm sitting at my piano.
13:39Oh, gosh.
13:39And I'm just sitting there feeling the feeling of loss itself.
13:46I'm reflecting a bit on, and this is what's specific.
13:50So this is literally the substratum of Still Missing You, for example.
13:53A particular kind of loss where it's not coming back.
13:58If you're fired from your job, it can be painful, but you'll get another job.
14:02Mm-hmm.
14:03Right?
14:03But if you lose a father, you see how it's different?
14:07Yeah.
14:07They're not, and specifically the void of it's not returning.
14:11That kind of loss.
14:12Like it's gone.
14:13It's gone.
14:13There's no hope left for, ow, that hurt.
14:16I'm missing that.
14:17Let me go do this in replace of.
14:19No, no, no, no.
14:20The type of loss that we've all felt where like when a mother loses a child, heaven forbid,
14:27or you have a parent die and it's, you have the funeral, you do all this stuff, but then
14:32there's the weeks and months that follow and it's just, they're really, they're actually
14:37gone.
14:38Mm-hmm.
14:38That loss.
14:40I'm sitting at my piano, sitting in there.
14:43You were just feeling that.
14:44For a million reasons.
14:46Uh, cause I was in the middle of, um, my aunt was about to pass and then I was reflecting
14:56on some really horrible breaks up, breakups I've had in my life.
14:59I was reflecting on my childhood just being gone.
15:03Mm-hmm.
15:03I know it's stuff like that.
15:04Yeah.
15:05Reflecting on things that are not coming back.
15:07And I was just sitting there in that pocket, exiting the present moment and sitting in
15:13that pocket of, of loss and knowing I'm about to say goodbye to my aunt and just a myriad
15:18of things.
15:19And I take my right hand and I hit a minor six and then I go, the perfect fifth is a sign
15:31of hope.
15:32It's, it's the feeling of hope.
15:33A lot of musicians would kind of say like bum, bum, bum, one, five.
15:38I went bum, bum, bum, D major.
15:45Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
15:49And I just remember sitting there and I immediately felt what I was feeling.
15:55So it's a sound first for me.
15:57I'm like, I need a happy chord.
15:59A major.
16:00Bum.
16:02Bum.
16:03E.
16:04Bum, bum, bum.
16:06Bum, bum, bum.
16:08And that was the chorus.
16:09It was.
16:10There it was.
16:18Oh, shit.
16:20Peace of mind.
16:23Lost in time.
16:24A.
16:24I'm still missing E.
16:26Oh, we got it.
16:28So that's.
16:29Yes, that worked.
16:30Oh my gosh, that's so cool.
16:31Right?
16:32Yeah.
16:32Because then the lyrics are then reflective of that feeling for me.
16:35So it is like intertwined heart and mind.
16:37when you lose a loved one they're gone forever but they live in you my childhood is gone but
16:42that lucas little blonde head lucas is still in there somewhere yeah it's that thing and that's
16:48where i think um i'm really geeking out that's what music does yeah it's like i there is hope
16:56in it somewhere whatever you've lost that is not returning when my dad passes when my mom passes
17:01when this time of us working real short passes one day no time soon knocking um but you know
17:09we'll reflect on it right and a bit of it stays with us yeah that's the beauty of humanity and
17:16so still missing you i chose those chords as a result minor chord sad d7 a major a quick happy
17:24thing with a perfect fifth so it made it maintain a feel there's a little smidge of hope in there
17:30and you're intertwining the different feelings of the sounds too yeah it's like all of it's like
17:35knitted and i love the word intertwined because it means like i'm still intertwined with my childhood
17:41i'm still intertwined with my the beast i'm sitting on this chair is about to break because as i'm
17:47sitting here you're hearing my dad out of my mouth you're hearing my aunt out of my mouth you're hearing
17:51my mom out of my mouth every now and again my uncle or my some of my best friends i've had that you'll
17:56hear them come out of my mouth we are a conglomerate of the experiences we've had so
18:00still missing you was harnessing that feeling so for me even though the song is about heartbreaking
18:06loss it's sitting in the void of that loss feeling the pain of that loss but there's still this smidgen
18:11of hope and that's where it erupted from and then i wrote the verses so and then i wrote the and then i
18:17wrote the bridge and then i applied all the musical juice of all the influences i just said yeah
18:22i love stacked vocals i love a big fat ad lib i love i i think it's great that when artists who
18:29can't sing super well make songs i love that because they're really catchy songs but for me
18:34and my my stuff i'm like i want the vocals to be so great i want it to be led with a good voice
18:39yeah right yeah i want there to be a pre-voice and whatever is in me to use you know and so that's
18:45a big part i want the music to be lush can we keep that raw musical power and put it in the world of
18:52pop apply cinema to it right um anyway yeah so that's where still missing you came from okay
19:01it's got this narrative that i actually so i directed the music video i wrote this story for the music
19:07video based on that little moment the piano i told you about and it turned into this whole film
19:13and anyway you should watch this sometime well i think we actually are gonna watch it right now
19:20oh it's a drone oh and that sign is where is this is this it's in the middle of the desert going to
19:31vegas oh man oh that of course the bike had to make an appearance so he's revisiting all the old
19:41spots yeah it's sad oh lukey
19:47we've god we've all been there go get her oh yeah oh you're having the moment the moment's coming
19:57come on get her there yeah uh oh oh oh is that real you writing it's me oh my gosh of course it is
20:10oh wait and there's water seeds oh my gosh she better be there oh damn he has the last text he
20:22ever got from her oh my god my knees are shaking
20:25oh my gosh great job thank you thank you man he does it all actor director musician of all sorts
20:47like okay you do everything well uh so just little the song that just came out um so i did direct that
20:55music video i did i did write the music video shot for shot um and uh i could tell you there's a lot i
21:02could tell you about how this was shot it was genuinely a miracle because i was nearly broke
21:06uh it was just this was in the middle of the desert i almost passed out because it was so hot
21:11we found a green sign that said a campground and that green sign is actually a buddy of mine who does
21:16cgi okay owed me a favor yeah yeah lots of owed favors in hollywood so i rented a drone and the drone
21:25was about to die and so the very first shot i ever saw on my noggin before i even knew the story
21:30i just kept seeing this image in my head of zooming through desert with a mountain in the
21:36background which is ironic that that happened past a sign that says la 143 143 meaning i love you
21:43and i kept seeing that in my head and that was the first thing i ever saw about the music video
21:48and then i don't know why this happened this way but i kept just the music video kept coming to me in
21:54pieces yeah and i would it was always when i was riding my motorcycle around so we rode it riding
22:00roxanne and just kind of and then i would think flashback he's gone oh and she fades away and why
22:08is she gone basically had an argument that's the bridge i do ring they were engaged like it kept
22:15coming to me that he was going to propose and she's gone and immediately i was riding my bike and i was
22:20passing a gas station and i needed the finale i need to figure out how it ended and like okay she's
22:26gone and then i knew i wanted the close eye key change go get her i want i kept saying i wanted
22:32him to jet it i wanted to run after her and then the whole classic motorcycle yeah yeah yeah and then
22:38i was riding i was on my way home and i pass a gas station and i think i need to get gas
22:45and for some reason i thought love really is about the little things isn't it it's about the little
22:52moments the big moments are great but it's really like the little stuff yeah the little handshake they
22:58had the dancing in the living room right the whatever and then it struck me she's dead it just
23:06hit me yeah she died and then i got flooded with the rest of it and then i called adam my dp and we
23:13just did it was just him and i we did the whole thing yeah um pulled a favor in to use someone's
23:18apartment uh-huh um i had to i had a nat gonzalez who was a student at the time helped me for free
23:26doing all the extra pickup shots i needed and we put it together and that's what we got i rented a
23:33studio to do the underwater stuff i had so much chlorine in my eyes it was ridiculous anyway so just
23:39little that just came out uh the song is a is a sequel okay so i have a whole music video that's
23:45already written oh that are you planning on shooting it soon and so i can't say what happens
23:51but it is a sequel to that oh everybody get excited so the story goes on okay it will be a direct sequel
23:58from this moment oh my gosh i'm so excited i'm so excited about what we're gonna do and i i think it

25:50i got started on saxophone and it's still with me okay um but all my musical energy went into this
25:56first before it ever went into singing like i was wanting to and this is a summer mark six this is
26:03uh very well renowned in the saxophone world that i remember i bought it in college when i was studying
26:09music uh-huh her name is julianne julianne hello miss julianne nice to meet you does she work she does

27:30well that was great that was crazy in the best way i do see what you mean though where it you are like
27:38singing like i saw it yeah going so like wow like if i'm gonna sing a note also fun fact that growl
27:47that growly sound is okay if i demonstrate okay yeah that growly sound so if i
27:52that gristle yeah i'm humming while i play oh you are okay singing a pitch so as i'm singing a pitch
28:05or humming a pitch it's adding that we call it an overtone and it it's just it's what adds a second
28:11tone that when it hits the reed right but when you first try it it sounds like absolute shit yeah like
28:18when you're a kid or whenever whenever you're learning saxophone once you start trying that
28:22it tends it it's just like anything any sport any skill you suck you gotta suck right so then you
28:27learn how to use and the voice is the same way wow like if i was singing like
28:31all i'm doing is putting it in my this guy uh-huh all right i'm keeping it in my chest so the note
28:40you know whatever it is saxophone is the exact same way okay i'm making a pitch
28:48and then i'm flavoring it i'm coloring it depending on what's happening here here and here
28:54and then this is all just the math of knowing the notes uh-huh holy crap yeah wow so yeah that was

32:00appreciate it. You've made me feel very, uh, this might not seem like it's very new to me.
32:06Yeah. Um, and talking about myself or things like that is not my general inclination.
32:11Sure. I don't like to walk around going, well, here's why I'm great. No, I like to serve. I like
