  SPEAKER_04: I can tell that you're relatively new to Vegas because you're starting to take over my algorithm.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_04: Even before I knew you knew who you were and knew that you were a musician, you just started showing up because I think we have a lot of mutual friends.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, cool.

  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I think it was destiny.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: I think the universe is always recalibrating energies to connect, and um your Michael's an amazing performer.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: Morgan's lovely as well.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: So uh I'm happy that my feed was getting on your algorithm.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes it's hard to get in that algorithm.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_04: You're taking over.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_04: You're taking over Vegas.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: Uh one post at a time.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_04: One post at a time, that's right.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_04: What's the uh compared to Cape Town, what's the scene like?
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_04: Because you were you've been in music since you were four, right?
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I started classical piano when I was four years old.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: And uh my dad's Eastern European, so he was like, you will practice one hour of piano every day.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, okay.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_02: Um so yeah, I started that and singing just as long as I can remember.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: Actually was singing, you know, like when babies are born, most babies come out crying.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I just came out, I was like, oh, I'm here.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_02: So if people ask how long I've been singing, that's that's the story.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_04: It's a great story.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_04: I would tell that story all the time.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_04: If that was me.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_04: If I could sing, I would say that line all the time.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_04: Uh be honest.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_04: And we're this the show is called Big Head.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_04: We're a bunch of people that are very slightly cocky, but definitely overconfident, and we like bragging.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_04: How big of a deal were you in in Cape Town?
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_04: No, not that big of a deal.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, come on.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_04: I think you were I think you're bigger than you're letting on.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: No, definitely not that big of a deal.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: I think because it's a third world country, second world borderline, we have a lot of talented musicians.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like there's an incredible music scene there, but we just don't have the infrastructure for it.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: So that's obviously why I left and came to a place like Vegas because there's infrastructure, there's budget, there's it's an operating industry.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: Whereas in South Africa, it's not, it's a very small operating trying to be industry.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: I could say it that way.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Don't hate me, South Africans.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, so I wasn't that big of a deal.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I started gigging in South Africa when I was 15 for money, just at like restaurants and weddings, and then when I was 18, I left home to just travel and do music, and now I'm here.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_04: And here you are.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_04: Did you go from Cape Town to Vegas or was there somewhere in between you went to?
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, there was a lot of places in between.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: So when I was 18, I actually started working on cruise ships as a piano bar entertainer.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: And uh there was only one cruise liner that was gonna hire me under 21.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: So went to Carnival when I was 18 and did piano bar entertaining, which was super fun, especially because I was working in a bar I couldn't really even be in.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but that's been able to take me around the world doing shows, and then through that I was able to book more land gigs in certain destinations, like in uh South America, in uh China, even in Europe.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_02: So besides ships, I also did my own sort of shows in different countries, and then it was also a good doorway into the States, so I'd I'd done a lot of ships out of the US, which kind of gave me a feel for the US.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and then yeah, I taught a little bit around the West Coast in 2022.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_04: But you you're just on the move.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, for nine years, I think every two to three to four months I have moved.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: What?
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_02: Whether it's from a ship or to a different country or somewhere new, I've been to over 90 countries now, which was are you someone that likes to be like likes to keep to yourself?
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_04: Like you don't necessarily need to be around other people because you're so busy doing things for yourself.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_04: Like I feel like if for for nine years, if if I was somebody, and I I'm like I'm very independent, I'm very on my own.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_04: But if I had reasons to stay in a certain spot, it would be hard for me to travel.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_04: But if I don't, if I have real no no real ties, either you know, relationships or any you know any other commitments, I'd be out and about traveling the world like like you are.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_04: Are you somebody that's independent or do you need to be around other people?
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's a balance.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: I think everything in life is a balance.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_02: I am very independent, obviously, since traveling on my own since 18.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_02: But I think the energy you put out the universe will always bring you people with that energy.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: So I am very social and I love people, and I think that's why I love being a performer as well, because you're constantly meeting new interesting people.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_02: So the universe has been really abundant with uh friendships and new connections with every destination I've traveled to.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: And then I have my solid homies and friends in South Africa that I always stay in touch with.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, they know I live this lifestyle, but it doesn't take away anything from the strength of our friendship, um, which is such a blessing.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_04: You are very good with your words, I'll give you that.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, nice.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_04: Well done.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_04: Julie has a question for you.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, Julie.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_05: I do.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_05: So you, you know, you mentioned one of the reasons that you decided to officially come to Vegas was due to the infrastructure in the entertainment industry that you didn't have back home in South Africa.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_05: But there are many cities around Vegas that have entertainment infrastructure.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_05: Like, why didn't you pick LA or New York or Atlanta?
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_05: What was it about Vegas?
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: I think there are two reasons for this answer.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: The first one is my dad used to be a musician in Vegas in the 60s.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, whoa.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_02: So he played double bass with like, he even did a show with Frank Sinatra, Santana, used to play with the carpenters a lot.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_02: So that was definitely partially a reason that uh it intrigued me to come to Vegas.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_02: Of course.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: And then secondly, a lot of people on cruise ships I worked with got over the ship life, which is kind of where I was at, and moved to Vegas to work.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: So through them, I saw there's a lot of entertainment happening here, there's a lot of industry happening here.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: So I just took the leap of faith and I came here for two months as a tester about a year ago.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: Didn't know anyone, didn't know anything else.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I'm just gonna come.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: And I think what made me come back and stay, because I've been to New York and LA and all these places, was the circumference of Vegas isn't very big, but there's a lot happening.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_02: So everything's really close, and it's super cosmopolitan in a way that I really enjoy the people here.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: Like all the entertainers, I'd say mostly all the entertainers and performers, whether they're musicians or Cirque de Soleil or in the entertainment industry, are just like really grounded, good people.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_02: I've really enjoyed the people here, and everyone's kind of an import from everywhere, you know.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like if you meet someone that's born and raised here, they're like a unicorn, basically.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_04: That's what they call themselves.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: So I think the people and just so many show opportunities and such a close proximity.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, it really reeled me in.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_02: There's also always something happening, you know.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_02: If I end a gig early, can go watch your friend play just down the road.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: And uh have you seen Santana play?
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_02: Um, no, I haven't.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: I almost did earlier a few months ago, but then I was booked for a gig and I couldn't get out of it, and I was so sad.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_04: He's got he's got that residency at Mandalay.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know if he's I don't know if he's performing at the moment or not, but I know he's you know, he's obviously getting up there in age.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_04: Um gets gets injured every now and then or has some sort of you know situation going on.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_04: But if you get the chance to see him, he still rocks.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_04: Still fucking just goes all out.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_04: Um and the just the entire band.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_04: It's so such a great experience, so much fun.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_04: Uh I wish Brian was here because Brian is also one of our engineers, and he um that's actually his giant head to your right on the wall back there.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh hi, giant head of Putin.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_04: And uh um uh Santana's been at Mandalay for or House of Blues forever.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_02: I must look into future tickets.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_02: Make it happen.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: Make it happen.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_04: Do your parents live here or they still live in the world.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_04: In South Africa.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_04: Still South Africa.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: So I was born there.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just a bit of a worldly person.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_02: Like I'm South African, but my upbringing wasn't very South African.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: So my mom's Lebanese, born and raised, and then my dad's Hungarian, um, raised all over Eastern Europe.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: Then we lived in Saudi Arabia till I was like six or seven, but always traveled.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_02: And then from seven we lived in South Africa permanently, but I obviously feel South African in a big way because that's where I was raised.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_02: But a lot of aspects of my home upbringing was very different.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: And then since traveling since 18, so I just feel like I'm a citizen of the world.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_04: You're you're you're you live, you've got a rock star look too.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_04: You get all the tattoos.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, thanks.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_04: I love that.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_04: Are you done getting tattoos or are you gonna get more?
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's always a work in progress, hey.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_04: Like it's never gonna be done.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's never gonna be done.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_02: I just finally finished a sleeve after 11 years.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: The final piece was the elbow.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_02: Don't recommend.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_02: Don't get your elbow tattooed.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_02: It's not fun.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_02: Like you just got your hand tattooed the other day, too, didn't you?
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes, I did this hand tattoo.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_02: Lex the Gemini.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: She's amazing.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, this was awesome.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: I really have a bunch of finger tats, but I love the hand and finger tats because when I play piano, I just get to see it the whole time.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_02: So, and I always knew I wanted tattoos.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_02: I think since I have memory of time, I've always wanted to do music.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: And I also feel really fortunate that it's actually the only job I've ever done in my entire life.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_04: Good for you.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: I've only ever done music, which now that I'm getting older and as I've traveled, I've realized it's quite rare, actually.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_04: It's very rare.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: So I feel really blessed that I've always been able to do that.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_02: But since I've always known I wanted to do music, I always knew I wanted tats.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_02: And uh I even had dreadlocks for seven years, so I just went all out.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_02: But bring the dreadlocks back.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_04: What do we have to do to bring the dreadlocks back?
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_04: That's what I want to know.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: You know, Vegas naturally dreads my hair, anyways.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, no, I had them for seven years and they were great.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: It was actually like the front part of my hair was normal.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, back part was dread, so it was my version of formal in the front party in the back.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_04: Um, it's your own version of the the dread the dread mullet.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_02: But uh it's just a lot of maintenance, and uh I made them myself.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's a lot of maintenance, and eventually I just got over it, you know.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_02: I don't blame you.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, I washed them, I treated them, I did everything.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_02: And when I decided to brush them out, damn, it was not fun, and it was pretty gross.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not gonna lie.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_04: What did you find in there?
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_04: To be honest.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I, as I was saying earlier, is a mermaid, so I just live on the beach.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_02: It's the one thing I do miss with being in Vegas.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_02: But I think I found particles of sand that had been in there for a solid seven years, probably.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_04: Absolutely disgusting.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so gross.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_02: And like I said, I literally like would treat it, I would wash it, I was like, they didn't smell or anything, but the middle part.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_02: And I think I always thought I would really miss them when I got rid of them, you know, because it was just such a part of who I was and my identity in a way.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: But I think brushing them out and I spent like six days till 5 a.m.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_02: brushing them.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: Jeez, I went through that process and realized how gross they were in my own brain.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's what made me not miss them and not want to get them back.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing against them for other people, but just I had my journey with them for seven years and then it's a closed chapter in your life.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_04: I changed my mind.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_04: Don't bring them back.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_04: We've all moved past the dreads.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_04: I've I've moved past my dread phase.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_04: Julie has as well.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, you both had dreads?
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_05: He didn't, but I did briefly.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_05: Did you?
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_04: No, I I definitely did not, but I would love to see you in dreadlocks.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_05: I don't think there's any pictures of that.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_05: That was pre-me having a cell phone.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_04: We're gonna we're gonna work, we're gonna work on um I'm more impressed.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_04: Obviously, the dreadlocks is very impressive, but I'm more impressed is the fact that you are able to sustain a normal lifestyle while just playing music and not needing uh a second job or a even uh a main source of income.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_04: It's been such a blessing.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_04: Uh are you just grinding and hustling so hard that you just work, work, work?
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I work a lot.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: Uh it's been such a blessing.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: I think what reeled me into Vegas as well is that I can easily work six nights a week, sometimes seven, which is such a blessing.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: I enjoy working hard.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_02: I think being South African, we're naturally hustlers because when you grow up in a third world country where everyone is just struggling to survive, it gives you that drive to really chase what you want and to make something of it.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_02: So even with cruise ships, like I hounded them to get the contracts.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: Even with work here, I like emailed, I think, all the places like five times before they replied, you know.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I think I also get that discipline from my parents.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: They really instilled that in me and practicing a lot.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_02: And growing up, music was always a part of the environment.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_02: So like our routine at home was kind of like eat dinner together as a family, and then I would play music for them afterwards, after dinner, or if they had friends over.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: So since a kid, I've got an exposure performing to people.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_02: So it always felt like second nature to me.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: And then just hustling on the gigs when I was in high school and good for you.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_04: With that mindset, you definitely come to America and you have a leg up on most people because most people unfortunately don't have that hustler mindset.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_04: And it's it's as we continue to get older and we continue, you know, more people are, you know, getting jobs or needing to get jobs, that mindset is getting rarer and rarer.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_04: Um, so it's great that you that you have that.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think it's such a blessing.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_02: I've definitely noticed that it's um more of a rare quality as time goes on.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: I think if you're really passionate about what you do and you really love what you do, you will find a way and you will find a drive to do it.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_02: And if you don't, then that's on you.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_02: You know, you can blame society or social media or like whatever you want to blame, but ultimately it's your responsibility.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_02: So where are you uh so where where around town are you performing?
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_02: So I do a bunch of different venues.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: Uh tomorrow night I'm at this place called Whiskey Down in MGM Grand.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: I really enjoy that venue.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's kind of like a solo piano bar, interactive show.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I've also been doing the dueling piano venues, so like Harris and Eastside Lounge and the Win.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um I also do Red Rock Casino, Durango, um, yeah, all around the Venetian uh Ale Lounge and Resorts World.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_04: So when you're when you're performing, are you doing originals?
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_04: Are you doing covers?
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_04: Are you doing a mix of both?
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'm doing a mix of both.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_02: I always try to throw in originals.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_02: Uh especially with the request-based shows, like the like Whiskey Down, for instance.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_02: I have my song repertoire book there, which has like let's say a thousand songs in it that I can play, but then the last page is all my originals.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_02: So people often request originals, and even if they don't, I'll always throw in originals.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_04: What's the most requested song you get?
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_02: Shallow by Lady Gaga.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: I so see that.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: Did you have a video with you singing that on social media, yeah?
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I think a really long time ago I posted a cover, maybe like six years ago.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: No, I did dig back pretty far.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, I love that.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_04: Julie reached out to some of your classmates in uh Cape Town and way back in the day.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: So Oh, totally, totally.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_02: They're just gonna say the best and worst things.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_04: All the all the all the stories of you with the dreadlocks and everything like that.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_04: It was great.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I was a wild fairy when I was in high school.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_02: Oh gosh.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_04: Do you get tired of doing shallow, or is that something that you're just um turn your brain off?
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_02: No, I don't.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_02: I think I always try to do my own version to a degree of songs where it's still recognizable and people know what it is, but I'll do my own spin on it to make it my own.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_02: So I think I'll always try to do it slightly different every night, but usually people's answer, especially in the like dueling and solo piano bar, piano bar world in general, it's you know, like sweet Caroline, Don't Stop Believing, um Piano Man, you know.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_02: But I think people obviously see me as maybe a see more of a gaga vibe or whatever, so that's been the most requested.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_02: And then just her songs in general.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um I'd say a close runner-up is like Amy Winehouse music.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_02: It definitely gets requested a lot.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_04: Who's bigger in Cape Town?
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_04: Lady Gaga or Amy Winehouse?
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's a good question.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_02: Um I think both are equally as big in different spheres.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, they do different genres of music, so I think both are big in different spheres.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_02: You don't really know a thousand songs.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_02: You could perform a thousand songs.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I do.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_02: I do.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like a jukebox basic.
• 17:56
  unknown: You really are.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_04: Do you know like what so I I've always wondered this because I'm when you when somebody requests a song, and it's it's it's in your book, but maybe it's a song that you performed once years ago.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_04: Do you remember it note for note, or do you kind of have an idea of how the song goes and you kind of play it on the keyboard somewhat and you kind of know you know the lyrics like?
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, definitely a great uh great example is that uh with so much music, there is the occasion that someone requests something that you literally haven't played in years.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_02: So with lyrics and melody, I always remember most of the time.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'd say 95% of the time how it goes.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's kind of a problem, but a good thing.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_02: Like I can listen to a song once and then it's stuck in my head and I know it.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um, with the piano, for the most part, it's there, but sometimes you're kind of just improving and noodling.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, at least the chord structure is there, but maybe it's not exactly how it is.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_02: But obviously, with the integral piano songs, you have to do it how it is, and you know, like all the Billy Joel, Elton John, like, or even Gaga intros, it has to be exact.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: And then there's also times that people request music that I don't know.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_02: So then you just whip out your phone and listen to it, download it on your iPad and just play it on the spot, like sight read it on the spot.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_04: You're that you can you can learn it that quickly, or at least get the idea that quickly.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you can.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: I think like once you've done it for such a long time and for so many years, it becomes like a skill, a muscle memory.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_02: So you can listen to it, and again, it's not gonna be perfect because you just listen to it, but it is a cool skill and party trick, you could say.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_02: And even though you know you're not gonna nail it like a hundred percent, people are just happy and impressed that you made the effort to even try.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_04: That's so funny.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_04: So tell me about some of your original music because we were rocking now to your Spotify uh profile yesterday.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_04: Um, the number one song you have on Spotify, I I I can't remember off the top of my head.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna pull it up real quick here.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so bear with me because it was.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_04: I listened to this over and over and over again.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_04: It was um meant to fly.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, cool.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_02: That's the one I wanted to do today.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: Is it live?
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_02: Amazing.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, it's destiny.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it is.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like the stars are aligning for all of us here.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_04: Like by the time you leave, I'm gonna have dreadlocks.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_04: It's gonna be incredible.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: Amazing.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: I can do them for you.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you just like I'll just like the one in the back.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_02: Or you can go unicorn horn style.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_02: Is that a thing?
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_02: That's a thing, just like one.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: I just want dreadlock, not dreadlocks.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly, just dreadlock.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think that's the new trend.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: That's definitely.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: I think you're gonna be a trendsetter here.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_04: I think I think we're on to something.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_04: I don't wanna I don't wanna get ahead of myself.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: Dreadlock.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: Big head dreadlock.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_04: Big head dreadlock, yes.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_04: I love that.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, meant to fly.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_04: Where'd you come up with this?
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_02: So that was the first song I ever wrote on my first cruise ship contract when I was 18.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_02: I maybe should have written set to sail, but anyways, it's meant to fly.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_02: Set to Sail will be the sequel.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_02: Uh there is something super magical and serene about just being in the middle of the ocean.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_02: And all you see is ocean, and there's nothing around that.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_02: And it's kind of mesmerizing and inspiring in a way.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, I was 18 away from home on my first cruise contract, performing, like, couldn't believe what was happening, and I just came up with a song, and for me, I don't ever try to force myself to write, I more wait until I get in the zone.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_02: So, most of my songs I've written, probably all the piano and lyrics within 20 to 30 minutes.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'd say like my best songs.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I just get in the zone and I write it all out, and then I'll fine-tune things after it.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_02: But the main structure of the song is generally done pretty quickly.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, because then I feel like I'm just channeling the music and it's just like coming from the soul.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_04: Do you have songs that are in the backlog that you haven't finished yet, but you're just waiting like for that moment to strike you whenever it is?
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think a lot of musicians have that, but then I Tend to just keep writing new ones that just get finished.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_04: What do you what do you typically write about?
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_02: In the past and even now, I am quite spiritual at heart and like all into the universe, but a balance of both.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_02: Like I have like one foot in the sky, but one foot on the earth as well.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's important.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_02: But so a lot of just like life concepts, like I'd say maybe psychology or just life experience concepts or alchemy, or you know, like when you hit your head, how to reflect back to yourself or about society or about you know where the world's at.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: And then obviously love.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_02: I think everyone writes about love.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_02: Like my pickup line for a while was don't break my heart, you'll make me famous.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_02: Write a song that's blown.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like holy shit.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_04: Well done.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_04: You're lucky I'm not a musician because I would absolutely steal that and I would say that to everybody I come across.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_04: That's incredible.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_02: I realize it's not so much of a pickup line, it's more of a threat.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_02: But like, but it can work in the inverse.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_02: It can also be like, hey, make me fall in love so hard that you make me famous.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_02: But often people relate to breakup music more like they're just so scared they have to date you now.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_04: Holy shit.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_04: Are there any songs that you've written about love?
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_04: Or like at least heartbreak?
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, there's there's a few.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: There's one I wrote last year called Love Ghosts.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_02: And uh that one was mainly about being on the road and traveling all the time, right?
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_02: You meet incredible people that you have this incredible connection with.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_02: But you know that there's a time limit, right?
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_02: And in that time limit, you either need to figure out if it's worth it to move across the world for this person and align your two very different lives or to just enjoy it for what it is and enjoy the time you have.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and often it's more the latter of like, okay, you just enjoy the time that it is.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_02: But I noticed what that created was like a lot of beautiful connections in my life, but then you get a lot of these love ghosts, you know, it's like these beautiful connections you have, but then they just become ghosts in your life, and then it doesn't grow into anything more.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_02: But like in the song, I even say, like, I'd rather have the experience than not have the experience at all.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_02: And even though you go into it knowing you're gonna get heartbroken a bit, I still would rather have the experience and you know, learn.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_02: And I think every connection, whether it's a short or long-term relationship or connection, you learn from and you learn about yourself and you grow.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_02: And you also sometimes learn what's possible in a connection.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_02: So are you in love right now?
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um not also the silence.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I'll just say yes.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_02: Are you at least in like right now?
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_04: Are you in like?
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I'm in a deep like.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_02: In a deep like.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_02: It's confusing.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_04: Is it album worthy?
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_04: Is it worthy of maybe?
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, I've written some songs already.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_04: Really?
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_02: I've written some songs already.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_02: Stop blushing, Tara.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_04: Look at you.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, I think that was like a cool prospect of uh feeling like I'm moving to one place as well, and that I think a lot of musicians are lovers at heart.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_02: You know, we are romantic, empathic beings, and I think that comes out through when we perform a lot.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_02: Uh so I think a big thing for me was feeling like cool if I'm gonna be in one place, naturally, that doorway is more open than to having something a bit more like substantial potentially, you know, instead of just like always moving.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_02: It's hard to obviously have a long-term stable relationship when you're always moving.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_02: Spot on.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_04: You are very spiritual.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_04: You're you I can I can tell I have family members that are very much like you.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_04: That's very much the universe and the and you know, one foot on the ground, one foot in the sky, whatever.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I get that.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_04: If explain it to me like I'm a non-believer, and I but I want to believe.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_04: I I want to be convinced.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_04: I want I want to hear something that maybe makes me think twice about it.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe I should be more spiritual.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_04: What was what's like your best uh argument for it of of being spiritual?
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_02: Look within yourself.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_02: You don't need anyone to convince you.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's all within.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_02: I think like being spiritual, it's not like religion, it's very personal.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's very much your connection to what you believe this reality's about.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_02: So I would never try convince someone to be spiritual or you know anything.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_02: I would just be myself and through me living my own life in the way I do, if you see that and you naturally resonate with that and then want to talk about it, like yeah, look within.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_02: All the answers are within.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_02: If you meditate, I think when people try to force a certain thing on other people, it the message gets missed, you know.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_02: So for me, it's just yeah, I'm just myself.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_02: And if people decide to be spiritual from watching how I live my life, it must come from them.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: But I think that's when it's the most impactful.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_02: It's just look within and you'll find your own answers.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_04: That's a perfect answer.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_04: That's good.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_04: Cool.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_04: Nicely done.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_04: All right, well, here's what I want to do.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_04: Um, I want to take a quick break.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_04: I want to set up this keyboard.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_04: We just brought this new keyboard stand, which I'm really.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_04: Awesome, yay.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_04: And uh, you're gonna play one of your songs for us.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_04: Awesome, I'm excited.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_04: All right, let's take a quick break.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_04: All right, boys and girls.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_04: So it took a little bit longer than expected to get the keyboard stand set up.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_04: I am in different clothes, as is Dara.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_04: So for our eagle eye viewers that may have noticed that we did a little outfit change, don't worry about it.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_04: Mind your business.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_04: We're we're we're here to listen to an incredible song by Dara.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_04: Dara, what are you gonna play for us today?
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna play an original song that I wrote when I was 18 on my first cruise ship contract as a piano ball entertainer.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_02: And it's called Men to Fly.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_02: I maybe should have written set to sail because I was on a ship, but that can be the sequel.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_02: Like, stay tuned.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, we're all waiting or anticipating the sequel.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_04: Look at that keyboard you have, too.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_04: That's an incredible keyboard.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, it's just what I noodle with at home.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_04: I thought I had a good keyboard.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_04: I feel very emasculated right now because your keyboard far outshines the one that I have.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_04: I'm embarrassed.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, it's just it's 88 keys, and I think coming from a classical piano background, I'm just used to having all the keys.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_02: I would expect nothing less from Dara Jaslin.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, it's called Meant to Fly.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_02: The lyrics mean a lot to me.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_02: I always write really deep lyrics, so I hope it resonates with you and the listeners.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure it will.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, enjoy.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: Dara Jaslin just painful times the fight for the flights.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_01: We can try to perceive, but we can subconsciously see we've just got to be present within baby.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's you and your mind against everybody else, the powers in the prisons of time, baby.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: Manifest your dreams, set your soul on You Born Jew Baby Born Jew Baby Born Jew.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: So we are no baby.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_01: We are all meant to we are meant to me, baby, we're meant to baby, we're meant to baby, we'll meant you show fly.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_04: Incredible.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_04: Incredible.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_04: You are this this performance right here is my new alarm clock.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_04: Like I wake up to this every morning.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_04: It's such a great way to just kind of it it soothes you in, and then you you hit me hard right in the middle of the song with the long notes that you carry.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_04: It's so good.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_04: So good.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_04: What are you thinking of when you're performing a song like that and you're you know you're in it?
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_04: What goes through your mind while you're while you're performing?
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_02: So it's quite a transcendental experience for me.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_02: I very much get into the zone where like the world doesn't exist in a way, and I get into the space where I like truly feel like the music is channeling me.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not even like channeling the music, it's just the music coming through me.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_02: It's not even me.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_02: And I very much have like a movie playing in the theater of my mind, basically.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_02: So growing up doing classical music, I would always learn the pieces and then play the whole piece with my eyes closed.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_02: And I would interpret like a whole movie scene that matched the music.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_02: And I kind of do that with my originals as well.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like I have this story that's like visually playing in my brain, and I kind of teleport to that place, and I just sit in that space of what the music and the visuals are for me.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, that that's where I go.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_04: For anybody that gets a chance to see Dara live, and she has the book of a thousand songs, and 99% of them are covers, I assure you, nothing is gonna be as good as these originals right here.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_04: So if you see her out in public, if you see her performing, go to the back page of the originals and absolutely request that song because that I can listen to that song every day.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, thank you so much.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_02: That means so much to me.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_02: I think originals are definitely my favorite thing to perform.
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_02: People often ask what do you enjoy performing most?
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_02: And I think any artist that writes music will tell you it's their original.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_02: So I appreciate you.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: I don't.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: I have a bunch of singles out though, and I'm working on a lot of uh single tracks this year as well, so they're not in an album form, but I think I have about 10 originals released already, and I'm planning to release at least four this year.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'm excited for that.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, very excited.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much.
• 35:19

  SPEAKER_04: You you have an animal named Jazlyn too, is that right?
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, so okay.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_02: It was a nickname growing up because I just always loved jazz music, right?
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_02: So it became a nickname, and then I was really young, and I was like, oh, my first daughter's gonna be called Jaslyn, right?
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_02: And then I got a cat and I was like, no, okay, I'm gonna name my cat Jaslyn.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_02: And then when I was 18, before I left home to travel and do music, I was like, okay, well, I need a stage name because my real last name's Steingasner, because my father's Hungarian.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_02: So if I was like, hi, I'm Dara Steingasner, find me online, people would be like, What?
