2:12
Speaker 2: So I did a cover to Tink and then a
2:14
Speaker 2: local producer in Virginia had reached out to me, like
2:16
Speaker 2: you should get into the studio. So I waited like
2:18
Speaker 2: two years, you know, just off of fear, and I
2:21
Speaker 2: finally went to the studio. You know, I'm like, Okay,
2:22
Speaker 2: this is cool. Like I'm able to express myself and
2:25
Speaker 2: just like have a good sess like therapeutic low key.
2:27
Speaker 2: So that's what started making me just go for it.
2:29
Speaker 2: And then it's like I I enjoyed being in front
2:30
Speaker 2: of the camera. It's like I'm meant to be there.
2:33
Speaker 2: God put me there for a reasons.
2:34
Speaker 1: Okay.
2:35
Speaker 3: So now, before you said you sang in church, what
2:39
Speaker 3: else did you do professionally?
2:40
Speaker 1: Did you do anything else? Like did you have a
2:42
Speaker 1: day job before you started Thomas.
2:45
Speaker 2: I used to run a restaurant called Prime to fifty five.
2:48
Speaker 2: I was, you know, a bartender. I was a dancer okay,
2:51
Speaker 2: and I worked insurance.
2:53
Speaker 1: Okay. Wow, you got three.
2:54
Speaker 2: Jobs, not all at the same So, like, at first
2:59
Speaker 2: I was doing insurance and then I started you know,
3:01
Speaker 2: it was just a nine to five. Wasn't cutting it.
3:03
Speaker 2: So I started dancing and make some extra money. Then,
3:06
Speaker 2: you know, the money was coming in fast, so I
3:07
Speaker 2: stopped doing that, Like you know, I'm just why.
3:09
Speaker 1: Did you stop?
3:10
Speaker 3: I like these stories because it's very interesting because people,
3:14
Speaker 3: more people.
3:15
Speaker 1: Do this than you know.
3:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's because okay, So, like you know, you start
3:18
Speaker 2: making the money. It's fast money. So you're making like okay,
3:20
Speaker 2: I made I made two thousand dollars in one night
3:24
Speaker 2: just from dancing. Yeah you can, you can. I mean,
3:26
Speaker 2: it depends on the dancers location.
3:32
Speaker 1: Carry on, carry on, I carry on, you know what,
3:35
Speaker 1: go ahead.
3:36
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I was just like, you know what,
3:38
Speaker 2: my manager she tripping, like she micromanaging. I don't want
3:41
Speaker 2: to do it this anymore. I'm going to just do this. So,
3:43
Speaker 2: you know, I started dancing. I dance full time, like
3:45
Speaker 2: just dancing for about a year and a half, two years,
3:49
Speaker 2: and then I started bartending. It's just like something fun
3:51
Speaker 2: and it's like in a form I want to say,
3:53
Speaker 2: it's still working in the club, still a hustle. So
3:55
Speaker 2: started bartending, started learning the restaurant business, and I got
3:58
Speaker 2: promoted to running the restaurant.
3:59
Speaker 3: So that's very smart. Thank you for saying that, because
4:03
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't necessarily have a plan. This
4:07
Speaker 3: also lets me know that you're very smart. You're paying
4:10
Speaker 3: attention to your surroundings. Because you transition from dancing to bartending.
4:15
Speaker 2: Why it just like I mean, so that you don't
4:20
Speaker 2: have to move around as much with bartender, right, and
4:22
Speaker 2: then you learn your clothes on. Yeah, I got your
4:25
Speaker 2: clothes on. That that's the main part. You got your
4:28
Speaker 2: clothes on. You gotta shake your tail, so yeah, and
4:35
Speaker 2: then like I fell in love with bartending because I
4:37
Speaker 2: just got to learn so much. Like I didn't just
4:39
Speaker 2: work in a club bartend. I worked in the restaurant setting,
4:41
Speaker 2: like an upscale restaurant, so we actually made handcrafted cocktails,
4:44
Speaker 2: so I got Yes, I got to learn how to
4:46
Speaker 2: be like a chemistist with the with the with.
4:48
Speaker 1: The fluids, without with the alcohol. And it's deal, because
4:51
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. We're gonna do an episode with
4:55
Speaker 1: nothing but bartenders.
4:57
Speaker 3: We're gonna do one with bottle girls. Obviously, we're gonna
4:59
Speaker 3: do one with the ladies dances. But I'm happy that
5:02
Speaker 3: you're saying all these things because it's gonna lead me
5:04
Speaker 3: to the next question. So now you're bartending. What leads
5:09
Speaker 3: you into saying I want to start my own was
5:11
Speaker 3: the restaurant?
5:12
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't my restaurant. I was just managing at
5:14
Speaker 2: the same restaurant that I was bartending. This is still
5:16
Speaker 2: good though, Yeah it is because I mean, like I said,
5:18
Speaker 2: I started off as a bartender all the time.
5:22
Speaker 1: So most people don't do that.
5:23
Speaker 2: But that's important. You can't be the same person today
5:26
Speaker 2: that you were five years ago and the person you
5:27
Speaker 2: are today.
5:28
Speaker 4: To say easier to say what made you? Like what
5:32
Speaker 4: made you leave the fast money? Because I feel like
5:34
Speaker 4: that's the hardest thing to do, especially when people are
5:36
Speaker 4: dancing making that type of money in one night.
5:38
Speaker 2: Okay, So for me, it's like I I really wasn't
5:41
Speaker 2: supposed to be there, so like that wasn't what I
5:44
Speaker 2: really wanted to do. I just did it, Like honestly,
5:46
Speaker 2: I did it out of spite because my son's dad
5:48
Speaker 2: was dealing with like he was messing with strippers on me,
5:50
Speaker 2: so I'm like, I need extra money, so you like strippers,
5:54
Speaker 2: And then it just kind of like took off from me,
5:56
Speaker 2: Like I didn't. I didn't think I was gonna be
5:57
Speaker 2: leave money.
6:02
Speaker 1: It did.
6:02
Speaker 2: It made him real mad. He don't like dances, no more.
6:08
Speaker 1: Experience.
6:09
Speaker 2: But yeah, so it actually like it took off me.
6:11
Speaker 2: I didn't think like, oh, I would go into dancing
6:13
Speaker 2: and I would get like I don't want to say fans,
6:15
Speaker 2: but like customers, people that actually came to the club
6:17
Speaker 2: just for me. So once it became that, and then
6:20
Speaker 2: people started to reaching out to me from like Tennessee, Miami.
6:23
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
6:24
Speaker 2: I came and danced at KOD in Atlanta before, so
6:26
Speaker 2: like people started to reaching out to me just from Instagram,
6:28
Speaker 2: not even knowing me. Not really your dancing name Ley London.
6:34
Speaker 1: Oh he was real mad.
6:37
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was my dance name London because you
6:39
Speaker 2: lived in London. I had. You know, it's a process
6:45
Speaker 2: of being a dancer. You have to come up with
6:46
Speaker 2: a name that you know. And I didn't want nothing
6:49
Speaker 2: regular like Envy or Diamond. Nothing's wrong with those, but
6:53
Speaker 2: I wanted something a little bit that's fine, thank you.
7:00
Speaker 2: I didn't. I thought about Indio. My favorite color it's blue,
7:04
Speaker 2: So I was like indigover and I'm like no, like,
7:07
Speaker 2: because you know, on our line.
7:08
Speaker 1: Of work, we have to work at strip clubs too.
7:10
Speaker 1: It was a pointed time. Now I know plenty, but
7:19
Speaker 1: I've never heard, Yeah, I've never heard. I've never heard
7:23
Speaker 1: of a lay London though. That's fire.
7:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm sure you heard of a London,
7:26
Speaker 2: but not a lay London.
7:27
Speaker 1: This is true.
7:27
Speaker 2: And only there we go.
7:28
Speaker 1: So you managing the bar or the restaurant, restaurant?
7:33
Speaker 2: Now what? Okay? So how I got into the restaurant
7:37
Speaker 2: was I actually had already started working on artists development,
7:40
Speaker 2: working on my music. So I had to learn to
7:42
Speaker 2: separate because where in Virginia or and I think period
7:45
Speaker 2: as an artist in being a dancer, coming from that world.
7:47
Speaker 2: So you're dancing where I was dancing in Virginia, That's
7:50
Speaker 2: where I was located, dancing full time there, traveling, so
7:54
Speaker 2: like it's people don't take you serious if you're trying
7:57
Speaker 2: to be an artist. They just be so in infactuated
8:00
Speaker 2: with you being a dancer. Sometimes they have a hard
8:02
Speaker 2: time with you, know you growing. So like my first
8:04
Speaker 2: year doing music, it's kind of been like proving myself,
8:07
Speaker 2: like I'm more than just shaking my ass, I'm more
8:10
Speaker 2: than just being a dancer, Like I have talents, I
8:12
Speaker 2: have a brain. I'm a brand type of thing like that.
8:15
Speaker 2: So that's what I've been doing and that's what I
8:17
Speaker 2: have to do. So I had to take myself out
8:18
Speaker 2: of that world so I could really focus. I started
8:20
Speaker 2: getting in the gym because I wanted to really like,
8:24
Speaker 2: become a healthier version of myself. I had to also
8:26
Speaker 2: prove to my team, like y'all gonna you know, y'all
8:28
Speaker 2: invested in me with y'all time and different things like that.
8:31
Speaker 2: Then I need to prove to y'all that I could
8:33
Speaker 2: take care of myself. So started in the gym, came
8:36
Speaker 2: out of the dance world bar attending, evolved, and became
8:41
Speaker 2: a manager.
8:44
Speaker 3: It is now time for do you like Me? This
