00:00All right. Y'all good? Everybody's good?
00:03Yeah.
00:03All right. I'm going to do a couple of songs.
00:07Welcome to the crib. We're just hanging in my backyard right now.
00:11This is my first time performing in my backyard.
00:14No one makes me feel the way you're inside.
00:22New Orleans has had such a big influence on me musically.
00:27I, you know, you grow up kind of with music ingrained in you here.
00:32You could walk down the street and hear it.
00:34You could be on the corner and hear a band playing.
00:38And then I also had church.
00:40I'd hope to find you in another life.
00:44Yeah, my father, with the church being musical,
00:48I just, it allowed me to be influenced by a number of different things and stuff.
00:51So I had, you know, jazz and gospel and pop music and singer-songwriter music.
00:58And I think it brought me to where I was.
00:59I think it's brought me to where I was,
01:24even to able to be in a pop band and be a soul artist at the same time.
01:28And I think it speaks to just my influences being all over the place.
01:33Yeah.
01:34And I'll never find a love.
01:38The world like you and this I know.
01:43This album, Gumbo, which sonically isn't necessarily all different sounds,
01:48but I really wanted to challenge myself to not just talk about love this time.
01:53I talk about love a lot in my music,
01:54but I felt like the world was going through so many things
01:57and I was feeling so many things on a personal level
01:59that I wanted to expand and talk about more.
02:02And that's what the Gumbo is.
02:05Thank y'all.
