11
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.960
had somebody backstage that was doing Old Ara's hair, so

12
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.840
I started talking to her and she was introducing me.

13
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.479
I'm like, hey, do my hair during the interview. I

14
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.159
do it all and shit like that all the time.

15
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.280
I don't care what you do with it. Do whatever

16
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.760
you want nice and I'll look afterwards. And she did

17
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:09.760
it purple. It had pink and blue underline, so went faded.

18
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.799
It was like pink and purple and blue when it faded.

19
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.680
I'm right, it was cool. It was very cool. It's

20
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.359
a lot. We were just talking up there and it's

21
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.959
like it's a lot of work, Like I did it

22
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:23.719
for years.

23
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.079
I regret doing this.

24
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.079
It's been five years and every day I'm like.

25
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.920
Fuck, I know, and it's like you can't get rid

26
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.120
of it either. It's like, first of all, it became

27
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.680
my trademark. It's even on my logo and.

28
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.000
It's all my business cards is on now my T shirts.

29
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.599
And then people anytime you do try to change, you're like, oh,

30
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.000
what happened? What happened your hair? You know? Yeah?

31
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.319
I think honestly, it's funny. There's so many people that

32
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.040
are like, I can't picture you with anything else. All

33
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.599
I've known is this, and I was like, this is

34
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:55.200
my life now.

35
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.680
It's funny because Ash from New Year's Day she just

36
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:06.640
turned her hair black and I'm like, I didn't even

37
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.000
recognize her. It's like, where's the black and red?

38
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:09.840
It's funny.

39
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:11.879
When I met her, I was like, I'm your joker

40
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:12.840
to your Harley Quinn.

41
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:13.719
It was so funny.

42
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.879
Oh that's so true.

43
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:16.960
She was really sweet.

44
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.479
I love it. So you have classical training, which is

45
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.960
way cool, and I love mentioning that because there's a

46
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.599
lot of people in metal and rock to have classical training.

47
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.360
Like people think, especially metal bands, so oh they don't

48
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.199
know how to play they don't know how to do it.

49
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.879
They're not into the music, and they actually know how

50
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.000
to play and sing better than the average person. So

51
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:42.680
how'd that all start for you?

52
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.319
So I actually grew up doing theater.

53
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.879
So I started like singing when I was six and

54
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.319
just learning how us singing classically and then I was

55
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.439
also like a ballerina for a while, so it was

56
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.000
always around classical music and stuff. So that definitely influenced

57
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.759
me a lot growing up, especially writing like I love

58
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.199
and like making those orchestral pieces, and I do a

59
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.840
lot of reimagine versions of different songs and my own

60
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.039
songs included. But yeah, just so I just threw up

61
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.080
doing that theater classical sound and I'm slowly starting to

62
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.159
merge back more into like metal, but my comfort zone

63
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:16.599
is theater.

64
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.199
Well you can combine it like yes see, to me

65
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.840
that would be better because nowadays metal, a lot of

66
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.960
metal bands they like follow this formula to where they

67
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.639
do actually sound the same. So when somebody like you

68
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.000
has a unique other type of blending in and perspective,

69
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.479
I think that's what makes a great artist.

70
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:40.360
Thank you.

71
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.400
Yeah, I try to like be true to myself too,

72
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.680
because I don't want to sound like anyone else. So

73
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.639
I just I think it's funny when I do covers,

74
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.719
I sometimes have a tendency to cumulate the way that

75
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.560
they sing them. So that's why I love doing my

76
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:51.960
own stuff because then it's just, you know, I have

77
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.360
no one to compare it to, and then I'd really

78
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.800
confine my own voice. And that's especially like this EP,

79
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.360
I was really finding what my sound really is.

80
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.240
So I feel like this is the best thing I've

81
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:00.879
done so far.

82
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.840
That's so true too, Like if you try to cover

83
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.159
somebody else and you don't change it, people are always

84
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.120
going to compare it to the original. But if you

85
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.120
come up with something totally different, that's totally you, they

86
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.199
don't do that. In fact, there's some that are like

87
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.240
that through history that nobody even knows is a cover,

88
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.120
Like Metallica's done a bunch of covers that people didn't

89
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.600
even know they were covers.

90
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.519
Exactly because they really made it their own exactly.

91
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:31.800
And then, so, what's your favorite cover that you've ever done?

92
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.959
Favorite what cover that you've ever done? Even just playing around,

93
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:37.079
what did I do?

94
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.560
Oh? I did a cover of following in a verse?

95
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.360
Just release a song.

96
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.199
God is a Weapon Oh yeah, I did a orchestra

97
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.079
cover of that, and I thought that was pretty cool.

98
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.319
He probably would like that too, because like, look at

99
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:49.920
you did that.

100
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.360
I'm sure you've seen it, because he's all over social media.

101
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:52.920
I know, right.

102
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.120
Honestly, I'm scared if he doesn't like it. I wanted

103
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:57.120
to be like, what the fuck?

104
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.639
Yeah, because he definitely is outspoken.

105
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.040
Honestly, I like reading hate comments because I think they're hilarious.

106
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.360
I mean, great attitude, because some people can't handle it,

107
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:08.959
but you only have to laugh at people.

108
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.879
I blame theater and being a dancer, growing up walking

109
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:13.639
to a room with someone looking at you and being

110
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.879
like no, and you're like twelve, and you're like okay, right.

111
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.399
So you'll developed a thick skin very early on.

112
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.800
Oh that's so true, especially in Broadway stuff. Oh my god.

113
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:25.040
Yeah.

114
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.240
And it's like I said, literally, there are rooms where

115
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.240
it's called like typecasts. You basically walk in and sometimes

116
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:31.680
you don't even get into the room. They just look

117
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.399
at your resume and your picture. But sometimes you walk

118
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.399
into the room, they stand there they stare you up

119
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.959
and down like mm hmm. Next, and you're like, I

120
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:39.839
didn't even do anything.

121
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.480
Wow. Yeah, I actually went to New York Academy and

122
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:48.639
Dramatic Arts. Oh nice, okay, And like I experienced someone

123
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:52.000
that it's like you walk or you walk for an addition,

124
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.920
and there's one hundred people that look exactly like you.

125
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.560
Yeah, they're like, well, you have to be different.

126
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.399
I'm like, well, I mean I can't dye my hair

127
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.759
really because you're like the thing the callus is like blonde, right,

128
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.439
like whatever specific thing.

129
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.079
So you have to be unique but also look like

130
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:07.639
everyone else.

131
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.680
Yeah, hard thing, right, Clearly.

132
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.439
I stopped doing that. I got tattoos side my haird that.

133
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.519
Yeah. Now you have no choice. You have to just

134
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:16.120
be yourself.

135
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.319
Yeah, and I like being myself. I'm tired of being

136
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:18.800
other people.

137
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.240
It's the only way you should be too, especially as

138
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.720
an artist. And I love that you said you're finding

139
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.959
your sound because I think people don't realize, especially when

140
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.639
they're original fans. They never want you to change. But

141
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.720
why do you want to stay like a garage artist

142
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.839
that doesn't really know their craft yet? Why wouldn't you

143
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.800
want to evolve and find out who you really are

144
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:42.240
as an.

145
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.160
Artist exactly, find out what makes you you and like

146
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.600
what differentiates you from other people is really just being yourself.

147
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.079
Yeah, And I think it makes a difference when you're

148
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.600
on stage, Like you can tell when somebody's being their

149
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.759
true authentic self because they're having so much fun up there,

150
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.560
opposed to somebody that's trying to be a rock star

151
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.480
or whatever, because they're like not having fun.

152
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:07.120
Yeah.

153
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.360
I mean when I got up on stage today, the

154
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:11.600
first thing, I literally took two steps and we're like,

155
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:12.720
this is awesome.

156
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.879
Right, He's having the best bucket time in my life.

157
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.000
So, I mean Shawshank prison, I know that's even cooler. So,

158
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.519
like I keep saying this because it's so true. My

159
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.680
youngest door because I go and tour and do all

160
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.839
the festivals, and she's like, so you're excited for this festival.

161
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.959
I'm like, I love doing It's a lot of fun.

162
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.040
I don't know if i'd use excited. Well, it's I'm

163
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.079
doing it every weekend. But when I came here for

164
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.639
the first time, I called her up. I'm like, now

165
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.560
I'm excited. I'm calling you from the prison yard of Shawshank.

166
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.000
This is so cool, right, And I think of artists

167
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.319
because you know, there's a prison right next door. And

168
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.839
I've noticed some years where the prisoners are out in

169
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.800
the yard while the festival's going on, and I'm like, man,

170
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.560
I would be cool to be an artist and be

171
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.480
like being Johnny Cash and you're playing to the prison.

172
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:04.199
No, it's really funny.

173
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.319
So I think the people who that used to be

174
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.519
here are now over there are like whatever, Like that's

175
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.199
the actual new building. Yeah, And I was thinking that too.

176
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.360
I was like, can they hear this? Because it's pretty

177
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.680
fucking loud. So I'm like, I'm wondering if they're enjoying it, so.

178
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.920
They can definitely hear it. They could probably hear it

179
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.560
inside too, I'm sure. You know, well they got a

180
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.480
show exactly. Well, you know, have you done a tour

181
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:25.319
in the prison yet?

182
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.319
So I did a little bit of a tour when

183
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.360
I came here two years ago, because I sang at

184
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.159
the campground two years ago. And then I'm doing the

185
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.000
Blood tour, which I think is like the haunted thing.

186
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.600
I'm doing that later. I'm very excited.

187
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.840
Do you know it really is haunted though?

188
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:39.279
I hope so.

189
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.840
So you're gonna go on this Blood Prison tour, you

190
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:47.480
may not know whether it's real hauntings or the characters.

191
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.000
My house is actually haunted.

192
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.159
I'm convinced there's just been way too many weird interactions

193
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.279
with spirits and whatnot. And I'm not like really into that,

194
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.399
but there are things I'm like, I can't explain this.

195
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.159
So I lived in the house with my kids at Wedsline.

196
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.799
They used to tell me stuff all the time. I

197
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.840
didn't know anything. And I have a friend that like

198
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.720
does that stuff. And she was like, and it's really good.

199
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.279
And she's like, oh, yeah, they're right. The problem is

200
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.600
it's you're too powerful. They won't fuck with you. And

201
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.480
she literally said that, oh shit. Yeah. And because I

202
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.399
wasn't experiencing anything, they were telling me stuff and I

203
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.919
was believe them because I believe in that to a point.

204
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.519
And it's like, but I'm not seeing it. I'm not

205
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.360
feeling to experience it. And I did the thing where

206
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.679
I poured the stuff around the house, like the salt

207
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.559
a on the house, whatever it was like, to make

208
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.200
my kids feel better. I did it. Even if it

209
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:47.600
didn't work, you know. But after I did it, either

210
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:49.879
it was me putting it in my kid's mind or

211
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.080
I really did get rid of them. Kids didn't complain

212
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.360
about happening anymore.

213
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:55.080
Hey, it sounds like.

214
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.200
I know right, they used to be seeing on the

215
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.360
couch and they said somebody's coming up and scratching her head. Now,

216
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.519
usually that would have been me, because I I've gone

217
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.480
in here and I'll hide out during tours, like I'll

218
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.120
bring my helper. I'm like TikTok this and I'll hide

219
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.399
like in the walls and stuff and scare the shit

220
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:14.039
out of people.

221
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:15.240
Oh my god. So I mean the people who work

222
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.000
there part like it.

223
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.879
Is haunted, I know, right. But Baylan reeves he's playing here.

224
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:24.600
A killer's confession was in mushroom went, so he filmed

225
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.240
the video here. Oh wow, in the torture room. There's

226
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.399
torture rooms here.

227
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.480
Oh my god, what the hell?

228
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.960
He came out with scratches all over his body for real.

229
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.080
That must have looked awesome for the video though.

230
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.720
I know, right, good day. You didn't stay in there

231
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.240
too long filming, so he got what he needed and

232
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.519
he loved totally. So tell us about the new music

233
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.720
and what else you got going on after Ink?

234
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.639
So, I have a new EP out called Emberwick and

235
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.600
it is I think that's technically it's my second EP,

236
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.720
but the first like official one.

237
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.679
I like to say, so I just came out in April.

238
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.120
One was just practice.

239
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.480
The first one was just like I'm trying to figure

240
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.879
out what I'm doing. Yeah, so yeah, so that's coming out.

241
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.399
That's already and then I have some other collaborations with

242
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.000
other artists that is coming out the rest of this year.

243
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.840
I'm working on more music as well, and then just

244
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:15.600
you know, trying to book a tour and stuff like

245
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.240
that for next year.

246
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:17.519
So the rest of this year is just gonna be

247
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.440
filled with a lot of music.

248
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.879
Nice. I love it. And so what was that moment

249
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:27.759
or experience you had that made you transfer from Broadway

250
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:28.600
to metal?

251
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:31.440
So I was in a girl group for a hot

252
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.519
second there. So it was during audition season. I was

253
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.639
just auditioning for everything, and I ended up booking this

254
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.879
girl group and it was my first insight into like

255
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.240
the recording world.

256
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.720
Hated being in a girl group and it didn't start

257
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:44.759
as long at all.

258
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.799
But I was like, oh, I like I always wrote

259
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.120
my own music, and I was like, you know what,

260
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:50.879
maybe I'm just I'm going to try this.

261
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.639
So the girl group kind of fall apart, and then

262
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:53.559
within like a month.

263
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.159
I wrote a single, released it the video. All that

264
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.840
fun stuff, and then I was like, oh no, no, no,

265
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.120
this is it. This is when I do I don't

266
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.440
know everything kind of like fall into place.

267
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:06.320
I love it. I do love nowadays. I'm an old

268
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.480
school metal head. But let me tell you we were

269
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.240
stupid back in the day because females are way more

270
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:16.879
brutal on stage than males are. Like every female that

271
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.559
is in Metal Front's metal, I'm like, they are a

272
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.559
fucking badass, you know. And like you take people like

273
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.679
Courtney and how they sing, and it's like, oh my god, yes,

274
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.600
fuck do you sound like that?

275
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.279
She's like a goddess.

276
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.080
Right, Like I watch her too, and I watch her

277
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.279
mouth because I used to sing thrash metal, but I

278
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.000
can't aimore because I did it wrong because it didn't

279
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.679
teach you back then how to do it right, so

280
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.600
you just fucked up your throat, you know. And I

281
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.600
watch her where mouth like it's like this, yeah, you know,

282
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:56.120
I'm showing my hand like like some monster go biting

283
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.559
on something, and like she's got so much control over voice,

284
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.080
you know, and there's screams. I'm like, man, how is

285
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.159
she not horsehaf for that? You know?

286
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.399
Sam slowly learning how to scream, I say, slowly funny.

287
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:12.039
So one of the songs that I'm collaborating with the

288
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.720
friend of mine on, he sent the song and I

289
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.240
was listening to it and I was like, I gotta

290
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:17.720
learn how to scream because I have to scream on

291
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:18.759
the song, like there's no way.

292
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.919
The whole thing starts with a scream, Like I have

293
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.679
to do it right.

294
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:22.759
And I sent it to him and I was like,

295
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.360
if this is horrendous, you don't need to keep it,

296
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.440
and he was like, no, it's like, do not scream,

297
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.000
Like I that was the first time I would try

298
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:29.360
to scream.

299
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.159
Is what I just sent you. So I'm just.

300
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.919
Gonna keep practicing it and getting my shit together and

301
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:35.360
hopefully I can add more screams.

302
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:35.600
Love.

303
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.000
How do you like doing it?

304
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:37.480
I do.

305
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.480
It's very rewarding when I do it right the first time, right,

306
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.240
but then it's just finding out how the fuck I

307
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:43.639
did that.

308
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.279
It's a kind of therapeutic too, like you put your

309
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.279
emotions and put it into that scream and pull it

310
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:51.000
out there very much.

311
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.320
So, I mean, that's the thing you gotta make sure.

312
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.360
I don't like just yell right exactly. It has to

313
00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:00.120
be done right or else no voice box exactly. So hell,

314
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.000
everybody had to how they reach out to you on

315
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.200
socials on the web buy your merch because they have

316
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.480

317
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:08.440
Buy my merch.

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:10.840
You can find me everywhere at official Alex and that's

00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.039

All of my links to everything is going to be there.

Most of my shouldstals are official Alex, so I cat

322

try to keep everything very the same.

323
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.960
Nice. Yeah, and is there anything you want tell the

324
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.919
listeners that we haven't covered already?

325
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:26.360
What was that?

326
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.360
Is there anything you want to tell the listeners that

327
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.000
we haven't covered already?

328
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.120
Not really? Just yeah, check out my website.

329
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:33.679
I do have a lot of new merch there and

330
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.159
some cool, fun signed items that are limited. And I

331
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.240
have the physical EP now available for sale, so go

332
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:40.960
check that out too.

333
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.159
Okay, So I have a funny question or an idea. Okay,

334
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.919
do you have the EP in green and purple vinyl?

335
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.679
I do not, there's an idea want vinyl.

336
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.240
I will do it, but there's no demand for it

337
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.240
for me right now. But you know what, maybe I'll

338
00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:59.639
make a poll. If people do it, I'm totally gonna

339
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:00.720
it's going to be purple.

340
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.240
And or you know, it's been trend lately bands doing cassettes,

341
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.440
like it sets. You didn't know that. So since COVID,

342
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.919
when the whole vinyl shortage happened, Yeah, bands start doing cassettes.

343
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.679
Like Metallica's new album is on cassette. So you can

344
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.679
make a cassette that one side is purple and the

345
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:18.759
other side's green.

346
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.120
I could do that. Interesting. I didn't realize people still

347
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:22.919
listen to cassettes.

348
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.799
I know, right, it's wild. It's it's like everything keeps

349
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:27.639
making a comeback.

350
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.440
It's true vinyl and definitely I'm interested in then, So

351
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:31.240
maybe I'll do that.

352
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.519
Maybe a track.

353
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.440
Wow, let's just go all the way back, I know, right.

354
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.279
My first Ozzie album was on a track. Really Yeah,

355
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.120
it's weird though, Like you have to like take the

356
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:44.840
you had to prop it up for to sound the

357
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.039
right speed, and then it would break in between two tracks.

358
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.840
So like imagine your song and cut off in the middle,

359
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.320
fading out. You hear this click to the track and

360
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.720
it fades down coming back exactly. It was weird.

361
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.440
So okay, so I'm not gonna do that. Yeah, don't

362
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:01.600
do that anything maybe vinyl.

363
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.159
Yeah, vinyl would be cool, especially if you did like

364
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.639
maybe the vinyl one side green, one side purple.

365
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.200
I was thinking, just like a marble that.

366
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.080
Would be cool too, or like your nails because they're cool.

367
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.240
Because I've been watching during the interview. Because of the pearlides,

368
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.080
it's like I can't tell which color they are because

369
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:21.000
they keep changing.

370
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.159
I thought they were green when I bought them, and

371
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:23.840
then I put them on.

372
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:24.679
I was like fuck.

373
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.600
I was like, oh, they're changing color because I thinked

374
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.159
up one it looked purple and I was like, there's

375
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:28.759
one purple.

376
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:29.000
Now.

377
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.879
Like the whole interview, I thought you had like some

378
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.279
were blue, some were green, and then it's like wait

379
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.240
now they're all green. Wait now and they're all blue.

380
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:37.759
What happened?

381
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:38.559
