10
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.760
Oh yeah, man, how's it
feel to be at the Daytona International

11
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.719
Speedway playing a gig? It's freaking
awesome. Man. I woke up.

12
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.079
I crashed out last night and destined
after our show and got really lucky and

13
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.079
fortunate enough to just wake up in
Daytona and skip the seven hour drive.

14
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.040
Oh yeah, that's definitely good.
So that's been awesome. And then yeah,

15
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:34.760
we just played on the Vortex stage
at two twenty five and it was

16
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.200
it was amazing. I mean so
many people there that we didn't know and

17
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.079
that didn't know us but showed us
all the same love. You know.

18
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.920
So it's been incredible. Did it
kind of blow your mind that this early

19
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.319
in the day on Friday, that
you had such a crowd, No,

20
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.879
honestly, right, Yeah, so
I mean it. Yeah, it blew

21
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.879
my expectations out of the water.
And this is like the first show I

22
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.840
walked away from feeling like we really
crushed it, you know. Oh man,

23
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.480
it feels good to be here.
Nice. I want to talk about

24
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.039
your newest song, people Pleaser.
Ah, yeah, because I'm a lifelong

25
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:14.680
people pleaser. Yeah. Same,
So I saw that immediately. I'm like,

26
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.719
Oh, there's my dude right there. It is me, the guy

27
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.639
who's a chronic people pleaser. I
still can't stop to this day. I

28
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.680
can give everyone else advice with this
song, but I still can't take it.

29
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.159
Well that's the way it is,
isn't it though? Yeah? You

30
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.280
know that's why I like to We
were talking about this last night who you

31
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.199
just Holly, who you just interviewed
with? We were going out to check

32
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.280
out some of the sets and we
didn't know we were both the same way,

33
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.360
but it turned out we're both the
same way. Like I like to

34
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.240
go to festivals alone and go out
there alone so I could do whatever I

35
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.639
want when I want, because otherwise
I'm the people please the person i'm with

36
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.599
and miss everything I want to do. Yeah, exactly, And sometimes you

37
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.479
got to make space for yourself,
and that's something I didn't do my whole

38
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.719
life, you know, and like
being you know, thirty now, it's

39
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.800
like I look back on all the
time that I wasted on other people that

40
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.680
didn't care about what was happening to
me or going on with me, but

41
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.400
you know, expected me to show
them all of that care. And so

42
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.680
it kind of really inspired the song
and kind of made me realize the problem

43
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.800
that I had with, you know, being a chronic people pleaser, and

44
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.000
how much space that took up in
my mind every day. Yeah, it's

45
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.599
so true too, what you were
saying, because the people you're so worried

46
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.719
about pleasing ain't worried about pleasing you
exactly, you know, And I think

47
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.639
it's important to be able to discern
that, you know, because clearly,

48
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.759
like there are people in your corner
usually that you know, we'll definitely reciprocate

49
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.159
that care and love. But you
know, I've had plenty of people in

50
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.840
my life that when it really came
down to it, they didn't you know.

51
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.479
Right. So now I'm older and
my friend's circle smaller, but it's

52
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.759
much cleaner there you go. And
how about the fact that the people when

53
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.560
you do try change from being a
people pleaser, people don't like it because

54
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.800
they can't manipulate or use it anymore. Exactly. Yeah. I was a

55
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.879
songwriter and a producer. That's what
I did for over ten years. And

56
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.360
I had a lot of friends that
I did a lot of favors for and

57
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.479
as soon as I stopped, they
were all gone, you know. So

58
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.120
it's just something you just learned with
age, I guess, and it becomes

59
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.279
valuable knowledge later on you learn who
to invest in. Do you have any

60
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:23.480
special tools now to use to avoid
your natural ability of wine to people?

61
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.439
Please? Man? I just I
have so much going on in my life,

62
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.959
you know. I got diagnosed with
an autoimmune disease a year ago.

63
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.720
I've lost a lot of things,
and so it's just more about recognizing how

64
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.439
important it is to hold space for
myself and the things that like make me

65
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.879
feel good, because I usually don't
feel good on a daily basis, you

66
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.000
know. So it's that's been a
big thing for me recently. I still

67
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.279
have bad habits with trying to appease
others to feel like, you know,

68
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.560
I belong in their space. But
you know, I think it'll get better

69
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:57.079
with time. The health thing,
you hit on something right there, because

70
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.040
it's usually when we start to realize
who's really in the corner and who we

71
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.839
shouldn't be spending energy on. Because
it's one thing, the little things,

72
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.439
but when it comes to your health, that's a huge thing. And yeah,

73
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:15.000
people that you please don't give two
crabs when you're in that situation.

74
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.079
When are they going to right?
I had to learn that very quickly.

75
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.160
I mean it took me quite a
few years to actually get a diagnosis on

76
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.920
what was going on. And during
that time, I was practically bedridden.

77
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.959
I couldn't do a lot of things, and I had a lot of people

78
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.000
leave my life, you know,
and I had a lot of people who

79
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.199
didn't believe me either. I think
that was the hardest thing to go through.

80
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.120
Yeah, and so it's exhausting to
try and justify what you're experiencing twenty

81
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.000
four hours a day, and so
on the other side, of that and

82
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.800
knowing what I'm dealing with now,
It's just like it's nice that my friend

83
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.319
circle is smaller because I trust in
them and I know that they, you

84
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.920
know, believe in me and believe
me and support me and help me do

85
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.519
what I need to do to keep
myself upright to be able to go out

86
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.160
and you know, still live my
dream and come out here and tour and

87
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.439
play this festival and be a part
of the world that I love. And

88
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:08.000
so how is performing and doing these
shows like Welcome to Rockville? How does

89
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.680
that help you with all of this? Oh, I'm a god. It's

90
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.199
a dream come true. I mean
I say it every night. I've said

91
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.839
it on this tour. Every single
night. I make it a point to

92
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.079
say I'm proud of myself because a
year ago, I couldn't get out of

93
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.800
bed, I couldn't participate in my
son's life when he was just born.

94
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.319
I've got an eighteen month old son, and so now to be able to

95
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.240
tour the country and stand on a
stage in front of thousands of people that

96
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.120
are just excited to be there and
just hear good music like it just it

97
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.920
changed my life. It changed my
whole perspective on everything, and I'm so

98
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.079
grateful for it. I wouldn't change
a thing. What started the journey in

99
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.759
music? So man, I was
you know, I was about twelve years

100
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.120
old when Hurricane Katrina happened. I'm
originally from New Orleans. My family lost

101
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.160
everything in that storm and we got
relocated to Atlanta. And I used to

102
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.759
be a little skater kid. That's
all I did. I used to skateboard

103
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.839
with all my friends. And then
when I moved to Atlanta, all my

104
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.879
friends were gone, and I you
know, started experiencing like just depression and

105
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.480
all these things. My whole life
was just taken from me, and so

106
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.519
learning to readjust I met some new
people in sixth grade, you know,

107
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.399
who played drums and guitar, and
they invited me over to hang out,

108
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.279
and honestly, like that was where
it all started for me. It's just

109
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.639
wanting to be cool like they were, you know, right, and then

110
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:26.360
it became an obsession and here I
am, you know, seventeen years later.

111
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.319
You know, wow, So yeah, it is journey, man,

112
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.639
I love it. Do you have
one story, good or bad that when

113
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.720
you're like eighty, you're going to
remember about this journey? About the tour

114
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:43.720
or the music journey in general.
Music in general, I think, man,

115
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.480
the one thing that I will remember
is feeling like I was condemned by

116
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.560
getting a disease diagnosis that was supposed
to really limit my life, and knowing

117
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.680
that I got up, I got
in a van, I did the damn

118
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.439
thing, and I conquered it,
you know, nice despite all of that

119
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.439
and all of the odds, Like
I got up and I kept calling,

120
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.800
so I love it that I love. Did you bring your skateboard with you

121
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.439
to Rockville? No? I didn't. I'm sure my management would probably tell

122
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.319
me it's a big liability and they'd
probably yell at me if I got on

123
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.600
a skateboard out here. You know, I broke you know why I asked,

124
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.120
And it's funny you should say the
broken arm, because so I do

125
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.160
have my skateboard with me. Oh
okay, and last year I went to

126
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.240
Christina. I'm like, I've been
saying this a lot too because it's so

127
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.679
fun. Well, I get my
media past yanked. If I'm caught skateboarding

128
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.720
on the raceway, you probably would
also. That thing is a lot steeper

129
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.480
than I thought, right, I've
never seen one in real life. Until

130
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.679
today and I was like, how
the hell did they get a car on

131
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:45.759
that thing? Well, that's why
I said this morning, I'm like,

132
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.480
I was like, I was saying, yeah, I'll probably break my arm

133
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.080
if I do it, but it
might be worth it because that that you're

134
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.919
right man, that wall, Yeah, it's like a straight inc line like

135
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.080
up, no doubt. And even
if you could make it down on the

136
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.159
board, the minute you hit the
bottom, you're gonna end though, And

137
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.840
like it's not gonna be a pretty
site, but you know, I might

138
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.120
try it anyway, Hey man,
just make sure to film it so I

139
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.399
can see it. I know,
right, I would totally film me eating

140
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.600
shit. I mean, I have
no shame in my game to like,

141
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:26.039
listen, eating shit. Skateboarding on
the Daytona Speedway beats any great skateboarding story

142
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.559
where you don't eat shit, exactly, and on your deathbed you can definitely

143
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.399
claim that on you, right,
I mean exactly. There you go.

144
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.720
How do people connect you on socials? On the web, get all your

I should have just said that first, but it is what it is.

151
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.960
You got it. That's all that
counts. So is there anything else you

152
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.039
want to share with the listeners that
we haven't covered yet. I just want

153
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.200
to say thank you to everybody that
came out to my first tour and really

154
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.000
made it successful and just incredibly special. I've met so many people for the

155
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:18.039
first time who share my autoimmune illness
with me, and that has been a

156
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.480
first for me. And this entire
experience has been so profound and it's because

157
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.000
of you guys, So thank you
so much for having me. How does

158
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.960
it feel to know that other people
there's other people you could talk to experiencing

159
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.799
what you're experiencing with the autoimmune disease. It's nice, you know. I

160
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.360
don't have to feel misunderstood. It's
it's honestly been really nice. It's like

161
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.120
I've been I've met my new family. Like coming out here, everybody has

162
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.840
been so kind and respectful and like
we just get to trade stories of the

163
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.639
things that we went through, and
there's just nothing better than that. Yeah,

164
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.480
I love it. They can walk
in your shoes. You know,

165
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.480
they have walked in your shoes.
And you know what about those people that

166
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.000
now that you have a diagnosis,
they still don't believe you. I bet

167
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.360
those people too, right, Yeah, they're just not really in my life

168
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.879
anymore. You know. It's just
room for any of that. It's just

169
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.840
I'm just going to focus on my
music and the people that really matter to

170
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.720
me. Good for you, because
you know what, you need the people

171
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.120
surrounding you that are going to support
you. You only get matter what,

172
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.960
You only get one life. Yeah, that's it. Why surround yourself with

173
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.600
people that you know don't support you
when you could be surrounded by you know,

174
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.519
a couple of people or a lot
of people that do. There you

175

go so and you only have one
life, So you might as well play
