Here at ship Rocked. I know how amazing is that.

15
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.920
It's especially amazing for me because I have wanted to

16
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.439
do ship Rocked for soul.

17
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.319
So you're a newbie, Yes, this is my newby too. Yeah,

18
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.640
like Christine's been talking to me about doing it for years,

19
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.040
and like finally I decided, Yeah, it's a good idea.

20
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.040
And now I don't know why I didn't do it

21
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.040
all these years, because it is way cool.

22
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.959
It's so much fun, right, Yeah.

23
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.040
What's the most fun you've had so far?

24
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.439
Oh, that's a good question. I think last night around

25
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.120
one two in the morning.

26
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.079
At the Piano Ball the Piano Bar. I was there

27
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.359
two nights ago, which made me return, and an interview

28
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.640
I did yesterday, I had a video that I got

29
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.120
to embarrass one of the artist That's amazing because we

30
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.120
talked about it. He said, I don't even remember I

31
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.159
was super drunk. Well let me show you what I here.

32
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.879
Let me tell you. And it was the guitarist of

33
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:15.120
the Struts. Oh my god, and he sang staying Alive

34
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.199
and he tried to sound like Gibb and he said,

35
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.719
I sound like Mickey Mouse. But I thought he was amazing.

36
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.599
That's what it's about. It's just fun. Like those piano

37
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.960
piano bars like are so much fun. I don't care

38
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:30.439
who you are.

39
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.039
Yeah, that have to be my favorite moment so far.

40
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.240
No doubt. Absolutely. And I think the whole crowd was

41
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.199
more into stuff than any set.

42
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:39.439
That's so true.

43
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.599
You know, it's like they're all singing and at the

44
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.520
top of their lung. It was amazing, Like it was

45
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.080
definitely worth staying up all night for.

46
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:49.280
Yeah, I agree.

47
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.280
Today was a little rough in the morning because I

48
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.000
wanted to wake up early to get to the beach.

49
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.960
But and I did wake up early to go to

50
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.719
the beach and I'm paddle boarding, and it was a

51
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.800
little hurtful after like getting the bed at like I

52
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.000
don't know, three or four or something like that, waking

53
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:03.840
up at six.

54
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.840
Yeah, but you know, we can sleep and we're back hole.

55
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.319
That's the way I said, Like, that's how I am.

56
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.439
I'm like, okay, I can sleep tomorrow exactly. Also, your

57
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.039
hair is very eighties. Heck, like the last time we talked,

58
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.639
he had blue hair, eye blue hair, and you have

59
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.319
the eighties theme going on. And I did like the

60
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.800
new wave thing, which I couldn't do in the eighties,

61
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.360
like like a thrash metal head and that you couldn't

62
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.800
like new wave. So I decided, you know what, no blue,

63
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.479
no normal, just I'll do the like flock of seagull shit.

64
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.039
I love it, right, Yeah.

65
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.680
You gotta play it up. And that's the certain thing.

66
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.560
If you noticed how into the theme stuff the people

67
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:44.120
on Shipwral.

68
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.960
That's been so fun to see too.

69
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.479
I think my favorite night was the wrestling night theme.

70
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.840
And almost everybody seemed to be macho man.

71
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.120
Yeah, there's a lot of much. There are a lot

72
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.120
of speedos, right, a lot of Latex.

73
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.000
And Prom Night. Prom Night was so funny.

74
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.000
You know. I was talking to Jesse yesterday, I'm like,

75
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.759
and his wife, I'm like, you guys would have won,

76
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.759
but you guy give it to the kid. Oh my god.

77
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:18.120
That was so amazing because originally there was rumor that

78
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.360
king Don was going to be King of the prom

79
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.680
you know, from Hollywood Undead, because I don't know if

80
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.759
you watched Family Feud. Did you watch Family Feud?

81
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:28.399
Not too much?

82
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.720
No, no, not the show, but here on the ship

83
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.519
oh here no. Oh it was the funniest most and

84
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.759
so it was Parkway Drive against Hollywood Undead. Hollywood Undead

85
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.920
killed him and it was because of king They purposely

86
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:49.519
got king Don like so drunk before strategy. Yeah. So

87
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.240
he he's like the king of the ship now, Like

88
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.720
it's pretty in fact, while it's talking to them and

89
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.040
they're like, yeah, somehow they don't know anything about us.

90
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.279
Now he's like king in the ship, you know. And

91
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:06.199
then and then it's funny because like the first set,

92
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:10.720
in first sets, the first set of Parkway Drive, Linson

93
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.759
was talking about the whole thing a family food because

94
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.720
he was bombed that he lost, you know. Yeah, it

95
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:21.399
was a hard loss and then Hollywood Undead was cracking

96
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.120
on them. So it was pretty funny the rivalry even

97
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:26.800
during their sets.

98
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:27.680
I love that.

99
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.040
It was like so funny.

100
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.639
The only real rivalry I've had is with Cookie.

101
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:35.439
That's the funniest ever.

102
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.920
Man, Oh my god, he's so funny. We did we

103
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.160
hosted the guest that Groove event. Yeah, and next thing

104
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.600
I know, we're doing a dance off in front of

105
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.920
all these people and I'm doing the worm on the

106
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.959
ground And like, I didn't think I was gonna.

107
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:49.800
Come out here and do the worm.

108
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.879
But that's what ship Rock does to you, I know, right,

109
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.319
you come out of your shell.

110
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.279
And everybody can just do whatever and nobody cares.

111
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:58.240
No one cares.

112
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.120
I love it. You know. It's a great thing where

113
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:07.120
everybody can just be themselves or just be freaky as

114
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.439
they want, just for the fun of it. Yeah, and

115
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:10.360
no one cares.

116
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.079
I'm really bummed that I missed out on quests.

117
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.680
I was about to say, speaking.

118
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.639
Of many stories about quests.

119
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.480
I heard stories which made me hesitate. Yeah, And so

120
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.240
I stood outside that I was watching, and when I

121
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.839
saw that line, I was like, oh my freaking god.

122
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.519
But then I was watching from the outside. The first

123
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.560
thing I saw was some dude on his knees in

124
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.759
front of Cookie. Oh, and I'm like, yeah, I don't

125
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.000
want to have to volunteer for that.

126
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:41.920
Yeah.

127
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.160
If I ever do ship Rocked again, which I really

128
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.399
hope I do, I'm never missing a quest.

129
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:48.600
I will have to check it out next time. Because

130
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.480
I did find out that only if you volunteer to

131
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.639
be on a team. I was worried about, like, I

132
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.279
don't want to be picked no, because I heard some

133
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:02.959
serious mm hmm, like just to be blunt, buttthole and vagina.

134
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.199
Oh yes, oh yeah, it was all out in the

135
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:07.000
open apparently.

136
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.319
Yeah. And like some of the things you have to

137
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.079
go for, it's like, oh my, but people came prepared. Yeah.

138
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.000
Stuff you scavenger hunt for is like a condom some

139
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.759
woman with blue bra and like, people are prepared.

140
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.560
That's incredible, you know. Yeah, oh my god.

141
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.800
So yeah, ship Rocked and your sets you were amazing.

142
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:31.360
Thank you.

143
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.680
Okay, how do you feel as an artist performing on

144
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.279
a ship opposed to performing on a stationary stage on land.

145
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.839
So the first show I had in the flunch was

146
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.839
rough for me because I had the worstea sickness.

147
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.279
Oh, It got me so much that it's hard to just

148
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.959
sit and have but to perform because I couldn't tell

149
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.839
I saw you. I couldn't tell you seasickness.

150
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.680
Well, I started feeling it right before the set, and

151
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.600
then ing the set, I completely forgot all about it because.

152
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.240
I was so into this you're in the zone. I

153
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:04.920
was in the zone.

154
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.360
I was having so much fun with everyone in at

155
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.360
the show. And then the second I got off, I

156
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:15.120
went outside and I puked my brains out for I.

157
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.959
Know that feeling too, because it's like when you're in

158
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.519
the middle of it. Because I also do like my

159
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.680
e facial speaking, it's like the minute you get on stage,

160
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.600
whether I do it for radio or speaking like, you're

161
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.199
very nervous before you get on stage, no matter how

162
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.039
long you've been doing that. People don't realize that. But

163
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.919
the minute that Mike turns on, there's a switch. Oh yeah,

164
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.960
No matter how I'm feeling, I don't know. And then

165
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.399
when I'm done, I give myself permission to be sick.

166
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.399
If I'm sick, that's exactly what happens, right, you know.

167
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.799
Yeah, So that one was The show itself was really fun.

168
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.279
Everything before and after was rough. Being on a boat

169
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.879
the deck show, I didn't feel it because we were outside.

170
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.039
I had the fresh you know, the fresh air. It

171
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.039
was really hot and humid. But thankfully I do a

172
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.399
lot of hot yoga, so I was.

173
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:05.960
Prepared for that.

174
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.879
See, there you go. And your hair was already prepared

175
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:10.720
for that, cause oh yeah, you already. I have the

176
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.720
humidity hair going on being in the eighties thing.

177
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.759
Oh my gosh, my hair has taken on a whole

178
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:17.279
life of its own on this boat.

179
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:18.919
Did you use aquain that though?

180
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.600
Because I haven't had to use anything. This is really

181
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:22.799
pure humidity.

182
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:27.200
Wow. Yeah, I know how that feels. I used to

183
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.919
have long hair and man, and ain't time I was

184
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.159
in Florida because I live in Florida now, never down,

185
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.279
always in point tail because it would be out to hear.

186
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.759
Yeah, I'm going with it. I'm just letting it do it.

187
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.600
Hey, it works on you, so thank you. There you go.

188
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.080
And so now when you got going on the rest

189
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:48.159
of twenty twenty five.

190
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.840
So I have a new album coming out, Yes it's done,

191
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.840
and I've released two singles so far during nineteen eighty

192
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.799
seven and offer the Glo and I'm Dying for the

193
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.279
rest of the stuff to come out because it's also

194
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:05.759
in that eighties vibe.

195
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:06.320
Nice.

196
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.720
I can't wait, and I just want to be able

197
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:13.440
to play it on tour, hopefully all over the globe.

198
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:14.480
That's the goal.

199
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.759
You should, Yeah, let's do that.

200
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:18.200
I'm so down to do.

201
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.960
So what made you go with like an eighties theme

202
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.080
even to your music.

203
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.919
Well, it's funny because when I first started, I was

204
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.639
already pretty eighties because that's just the kind of rock

205
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:32.759
music I've always gravitated towards.

206
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.720
Like I just I love pap.

207
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.120
Enatar, I love jon Jet, I love Blondie, I love

208
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:44.000
Stevie Nicks her eighties stuff. And my first music that

209
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.639
I put out had that eighties flare. And then I

210
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.440
got signed and the music kind of went more of

211
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.960
like a almost early two thousands rock sound. And then

212
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.080
I had the freedom again to make whatever music I wanted,

213
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.480
and I decided I want to go back to the

214
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.639
music that I first fell in love with, which was

215
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.559
the eighties style.

216
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:07.159
See I love hearing that because like I got out

217
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.360
of music when I was a teenager at the Sunset

218
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:16.000
Strip and I was backstage watching these bands get record labels,

219
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.919
telling them how to dress, how to make the music

220
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.720
and just like totally change them. And I was like,

221
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:28.279
screw that. I'm not posing out on music and selling out,

222
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.840
you know, might be a stupid move, but you know

223
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:36.759
you're a teenager and you're stupid anyway. And so I

224
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:41.399
love hearing what you just said because you are doing

225
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.360
what you want, you know, opposed to a record label. Yeah,

226
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.919
I see. I understand business because I'm a business person,

227
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.000
but in music, the artists should have creative control, not

228
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.759
the people that are not creatives.

229
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.360
I absolutely And the first album I did it was

230
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.600
very much like got to play the game thing. I

231
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.240
was eighteen years old. I was super young, and my

232
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.720
whole mindset was I just want to do a really

233
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.960
good job, and I want to make everyone around me

234
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.200
really happy, and I want to be the perfect artist,

235
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.320
and I don't want to cause any problems.

236
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.399
And at the end of the day.

237
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.480
The cards are going to fall how they fall, so

238
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.240
you might as well make the music you really want

239
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:24.559
to make.

240
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.879
Well, see what I love about That is my adult

241
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.720
attitude after that teenage stupid attitude was, well, you do

242
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.000
have to play the game to get to a point

243
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.080
where you can do exactly what you want to do, Yeah,

244
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.039
otherwise you'll never be able to do that.

245
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:41.799
Yeah.

246
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.440
So like perfect example, Metallica, I used. I went to

247
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.080
their first shows in LA in the very beginning, and

248
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.519
then I remember when the Black album came out, Me

249
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.840
and our friends that were all Metallica, like the core

250
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:59.840
fans were like fuck them, posers, sellouts, blah blah blah.

251
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.879
But yet they did that album and without that album,

252
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.159
we wouldn't have Metallica today. So they were able to

253
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:12.039
go back to doing what they want to do. Yeah,

254
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.000
sometimes you do have to pay that price, you know.

255
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:16.759
Yeah, you see that with so many artists.

256
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.360
You're right, you know, because otherwise where especially back then,

257
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.919
like if you didn't play the game with the record labels,

258
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.519
you weren't going anywhere. It's not like today where artists

259
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:27.879
can do it on TikTok.

260
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.360
Yeah, like independent artists have so much more I guess leeway.

261
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:38.440
Yeah, with success and opportunity. Yeah, you know, because like okay,

262
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:42.759
perfect example is everybody talks about the negatives of today

263
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.679
of the music industry, but that's the positive. The positive

264
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:51.639
is anybody has the ability to become an artist, very true.

265
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.039
So you got to take the good with the bad.

266
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.919
I guess yeah, and just navigate where it's going.

267
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.639
There you go. So, if you were to give one story,

268
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.759
good or bad, crazy or not crazy in this whole

269
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.360
musical journey, what would it.

270
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:12.000
Be Ooh, good or bad? That's a good question.

271
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:16.120
Someone actually asked me today on the way to the beach,

272
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.279
what's really great advice you got from a fellow artist

273
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.600
or someone in another band. And two years ago, I

274
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.480
was on tour opening for a shine Doown and it

275
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.240
was a big arena tour, and I, again I really

276
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.159
wanted to do a great job. And halfway through the

277
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.879
tour I got really sick and everyone was getting sick.

278
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:42.000
But I knew my voice was not great.

279
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.360
But I went up on stage that night anyway, and

280
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.879
halfway through the set, it just completely cuts out, like

281
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.480
I'm opening my mouth, nothing's coming out.

282
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:51.799
Nightmare. It was.

283
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.559
It felt like I was in a living nightmare, right

284
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.279
and I had to cut the set short.

285
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.679
It was horrible. I'm back in the green room.

286
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.120
I'm like crying because it's I don't I hate letting

287
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:06.480
people down, especially fans. And Brent from Shinedown knocks on

288
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.200
the green room and he comes in and he gave

289
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.759
me this incredible. Pep talk about how we vocalists can

290
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.000
be so hard on ourselves because we want to deliver

291
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:17.759
every time, we want to be the best, and that

292
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:21.480
this instrument that we have is so precious, Yes, and

293
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:22.840
we have to take really good care of it, and

294
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.000
sometimes it's out of our control. And so he really

295
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.000
helped me that night and made me feel better about

296
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.759
the situation. And I'll never forget how kind he was.

297
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:36.639
That is so cool to hear because sometimes it could

298
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.200
be like that, sometimes it could be a different way.

299
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.679
So I love when I hear artists are higher up

300
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.559
the ladder. Yeah, are going to help the younger artists

301
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.279
because that's the only way we're going to keep music around. Yeah.

302
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.480
And it's also for me to hear him say like

303
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.759
I go through the same thing. It's really powerful.

304
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.159
And it is so true. You have to take care

305
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.639
of your voice, Like there's so many examples of it.

306
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.159
You take, like Ali from Bring Me to Horizon. He

307
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.240
changed the way sang because they told him you keep

308
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.799
singing like that, you're gonna be done.

309
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.279
Yeah, and so scary.

310
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.639
You know. I experienced it too, because I like sang

311
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.039
thrash metal as a teenager, but I didn't know how

312
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.919
to do it because I didn't teach the growl and

313
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.200
the screaming. Like now, like I look at Courtney from

314
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.360
Spirit Buss, Oh yeah, and I'm always amazement when I

315
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.320
watch her mouth when she screams, like she has such

316
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:32.159
technique and control. I'm like, yeah, wow, But me, I

317
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:35.759
blew out my throat because I was not I wasn't trained,

318
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.120
and nobody did anything, you know, and like, so, yeah,

319
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.799
you're gonna have those moments, but if you don't take

320
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.000
care of your voice, you're not gonna have any more moments.

321
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:46.080
Yep, that's very must the key.

322
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.799
So tell everybody how they can connect you on socials

323
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.399
on the web, get your new album, and buy your

324
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.159
merch because if they don't buy your merch, they cans

325
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:55.720
to listen to my show because it's the only way

326
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:56.639
artists survive.

327
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.240
I love that my socials are all the same.

328
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:05.519
It's this is Diamante because Diamante was taken on absolutely everything.

329
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.720
I have to say something, you're going to laugh. There's

330
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.000
a debate. There was a debate on board the ship

331
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.279
and maybe even everywhere of how to pronounce your name.

332
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.640
Oh I believe it.

333
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:20.359
And you've probably heard.

334
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.799
It every possible iteration.

335
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.400
Well, what was put to me? Is it diamante or diamante?

336
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:31.079
Honestly you could go with either one, because it's diamante

337
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:33.960
in Spanish and Italian says what however, way you want

338
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:34.519
to say it.

339
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.880
Say there you go, yeah, love it. Any final things

340
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.039
you want to tell the listeners that we haven't discussed

341
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:41.079
that you think they need to.

342
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.000
Know, just stay tuned for the new music.

343
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.599
