the short sleeves designed that outfit of yours. Well, actually
2:40
that was a lot of the Filipino designers I wear
2:44
are from Vigna Romero or Carlito Baldemorrow, so they're based
2:53
in yes, there, well in the Philippines. Actually that was
2:58
from my recently in in May, I did a show
3:02
in the Philippines, and I took the opportunity of hoarding
3:05
all these good designs desire to have wrong with me?
3:11
Speaker 5: The the what do you call that?
3:13
Speaker 4: I forgot the.
3:19
Speaker 5: I just actually did the Filipino Town uh here in
3:25
Las kas celebrated. It has been a very busy October
3:32
for us.
3:33
Speaker 3: We've been really busy.
3:34
Speaker 5: But I opened the national anthem for the un veiling
3:38
the inauguration of Filipino Town here in Maryland here where
3:42
we're at right now, and then Brendan did the national
3:44
anthem for the nighttime the nighttime event.
3:49
Speaker 4: I did see the videos and definitely had I had
3:51
goose bumps and I've never been so proud to be
3:55
Filipino singing that singing that national anthem singing then the
4:01
star spangled banner and with a Filipino heart to you know,
4:05
it's amazing, and then he did.
4:07
Speaker 5: It again rain or shine, Well it was rain and
4:12
then that's the only thing that we did, or the
4:15
Pinoy Festival did is to open and to for kickoff,
4:19
he did the national anthem of the USA and the
4:22
Filipino forces and rap.
4:24
Speaker 3: Here of course he hosted.
4:26
Speaker 4: Yes, I was, I was the m C. I was
4:28
one of the mcs and our hosts of the event.
4:31
And aside from that, I also perform. Yeah, so I
4:35
did kind of an opening act before, you know, before
4:40
all the other big artists, and I feel so honored
4:43
being in the lineup. I really felt excited and honored,
4:48
and my heart is full of gratitude to the organizers
4:52
and to the Filipinos who gave me that warm welcome.
4:56
Especially it's my first time to perform in Vegas. Oh wo, I.
5:00
Speaker 5: Always thought, because when you came in, you already said
5:04
hi to Andrea, Hi Andrea and DJ Tara. I was like, okay,
5:09
so he.
5:09
Speaker 4: Probably well I only met them like the day before. Well,
5:14
to be fair, DJ Tara, I've heard of her many times.
5:19
And then I actually worked with her in Florida doing
5:23
the Philippine Festival in Florida because we also have like
5:26
a like a big community in Tampa attended by you know,
5:30
from a lot of our Filipinos and maybe even non
5:34
Filipinos attend the event to enjoy the food and the culture.
5:39
So anyway, we did work together last that was April
5:45
that we did.
5:46
Speaker 5: Phil always thought that all he probably had worked with
5:50
them with Pinoy Festival. Yeah, so, and I was intrigued,
5:55
Like I said, you were so intimidating. He came into
5:57
the tent, he was, wow, look at the outfit.
6:03
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of the outfit, I think that so I
6:08
want to I want to disclose this, especially for unidentified
6:12
I want to identify, right, my actual name is Ralph Taylor. Yeah,
6:19
can you believe.
6:20
Speaker 5: That's very American and very.
6:22
Speaker 4: Intimidating on it. But because of that, I feel like
6:28
it doesn't blend well with my music and with what
6:32
I want to do, with what my personality is. And
6:35
Raffi Blue just gives a little bit of a hint
6:38
of you know, of that style of that energy. More approachable, yes,
6:45
more approachable, but style is also part of Raffi Blues. Character.
6:50
You know, he comes always in a blazer. He always wear.
6:55
Speaker 5: Blue, some white blue.
6:58
Speaker 4: Actually blue is the color of you know, it's a
7:00
very peaceful color. Yes, And also it's I think it's
7:05
the best color on me, So why why would I
7:08
go work for other collars if it works on me?
7:11
But also blue is a is a jumbled as a
7:16
word that I made from jumbling my last name, not Taylor,
7:20
but my actual Filipino last name, which is Helbuena. So
7:25
I jumbled it and then I come up with me L.
7:31
Originally I was going to go for b l u e,
7:34
which is just blue, but then I felt like, now
7:39
Raffie blue has to be defiant. He will spell it
7:42
the French way b l e U.
7:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
7:47
Speaker 4: I just I feel like in the industry and the
7:51
music industry, somebody told me that the more authentic you become,
7:57
the more people will actually going that and hop into
8:01
your world and actually appreciate your style and your character
8:05
and your personality. So I'm just keeping it authentic and
8:09
I'm inviting people over to my world. You're all invited,
8:12
by the way, to come to me, come into my world.
8:15
But more than that, I want to I want to
8:19
show who I really am, and then find find that
8:24
that group of people who can relate to me. So
8:28
and that's when the ripple starts.
8:31
Speaker 2: Right and So talking about creativity, how is the creative
8:35
process for a fy blue? How do you make your songs?
8:38
Speaker 4: So I'm a singer songwriter, I do actually, Before before
8:40
I answer that I do, actually have come up with
8:44
a new single. My new a single is called Come
8:47
and it's a It's a love song. You know, everything
8:50
is a love song for everything, and I always pursue love.
8:54
So what I do is I have a very deep experience.
8:58
I have a very want to say, profound view of
9:03
my surrounding and although I kind of bring it onto
9:07
the surface using playful words, you know, but it's always
9:13
rooted very deeply. I like to travel and everything from
9:20
the stories and from my experiences. May it be a
9:24
ritual that I did in Peru, or maybe a camel
9:27
right I did in Morocco, I will compare that and
9:31
use that to exhibit what I feel for a certain
9:40
situation when it comes to love, or when it comes
9:43
to friendship, or when it comes to relationships. So I
9:47
want to make sure that I always use this concrete
9:53
experiences and.
9:54
Speaker 5: It's a true story.
9:55
Speaker 4: True story.
9:56
Speaker 5: Always written songs that are a true story. I don't
10:00
think I can write a song without the truth in it.
10:04
It's either my life or another person's life.
10:07
Speaker 3: Well, because that's how you become authentic.
10:09
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, exactly. But I'm curious, you know as Okay,
10:13
I'm not trying to be the host of this, but
10:16
I want but I want to know your creative process
10:21
because you know, only only through learning will I be better?
10:25
Only through knowing more and being open minded will I
10:30
learn better. I am a lifelong learner. I was a teacher,
10:33
So I want to know. Tell me how your idea.
10:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the reason why I invited you here. Unique
10:38
artist is and I'm a mentor of a lot of artists,
10:42
and I can always see yeah, I don't know, there's always.
10:47
Speaker 3: Like she has a kind of sixth sense, s.
10:50
Speaker 4: Extense of you know, you're an excellent judge of character.
10:56
Speaker 5: Even you know, I mean it's in me a coach
11:00
and artist development, so I've always see someone who has
11:05
incredible talent, you know, extremely talented people. That's why you're here.
11:10
We wanted to you know, unidentified somebody had seen you,
11:13
somebody has sightings of you, but in here we want
11:18
you to be identified when it comes to.
11:20
Speaker 4: Like what was your question again, and your production, like
11:26
the sounds that you use or.
11:29
Speaker 5: Brandon and I is a very good partner when it
11:33
comes to producing. I did go to school for audio production,
11:39
and I've learned the basic, the very basic of it.
11:43
And then I started writing songs, started producing songs. And
11:47
while Brannan is writing songs, I was slowly teaching him,
11:52
you know, just because if you know computer, if you
11:55
are savvy and computer so you can you can learn
11:59
it right away. And he's a fast learner.
12:00
Speaker 2: And my background is more so I guess I I
12:04
know basic music theory, so yeah, I know how to
12:07
build it's all here.
12:09
Speaker 3: I know how to I guess make a melody off
12:12
of the chords I make.
12:14
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
12:15
Speaker 5: So I'm I've always worked with a lot of producers
12:19
in my whole entire singing and music producing. Every time
12:25
I have a recording, I always work with them. So
12:29
I would always say, can you just put a little
12:31
bit of this, a little bit of that.
12:32
Speaker 3: So that's where she has the sounds in her head.
12:37
Speaker 4: So you're imagining, You're like you're imagining what that sounds.
12:41
Speaker 5: Is like, yeah, it's yeah. Even when I develop an artist,
12:48
the sound and the picture and the artist that I
12:52
have for you, like for instance, like like let's just
12:55
say uh Asterid is an upcoming artists. I already have
13:02
a vision of her what she can become and the
13:06
sound of her but she can become and the songs
13:09
that she should be producing.
13:13
Speaker 4: That's a gift.
13:14
Speaker 5: It's a gift.
13:14
Speaker 4: It's all in here and the heart and to be
13:17
able to know and determine the songs that will showcase
13:22
one's potential.
13:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the right word. Once you have the potential,
13:28
I already know.
13:29
Speaker 4: But what can I ask you if, if ever given
13:32
an opportunity, I would actually love to also tap you
13:36
as my mentor of I don't have a vocal coach yet.
13:41
Speaker 5: Honor, I will be honored.
13:42
Speaker 3: We'll visit you in uh Florida.
13:44
Speaker 4: Hopefully I come here often to perform as only love
13:52
will make me move to anywhere else.
13:56
Speaker 5: Only love.
13:57
Speaker 4: That's true.
13:58
Speaker 5: Only love. Really, that's already a song, right, Who's I
14:03
don't know that's not a song song?
14:06
Speaker 4: Oh? I mean I can write it. I can write
14:09
about it now if you want, because it seems like
14:13
we're very we're very you know, creatively ready, and we're
14:19
just just one stimulant and can like a jolt, yes, exactly.
14:23
Speaker 5: And one thing I've always I like to collaborate with
14:28
people that speak the same language as we do. Yeah,
14:32
it's it's a different language. Well we're like we're like
14:37
we're like aliens.
14:38
Speaker 4: Yes, you know. Well, I think that the reason why
14:42
when I when I write, I also because I'm bilingual,
14:46
you know, maybe tri lingual even so, no multi lingual,
14:50
because I do speak for language.
14:52
Speaker 3: What languages do you speak?
14:55
Speaker 4: You know? From my travels, I have learned well, Spanish,
14:59
I did study Spanish in the university. But I've also
15:04
I've also self taught myself to speak Turkish.
15:08
Speaker 3: Oh wow, it.
15:11
Speaker 5: Language.
15:13
Speaker 4: But because I connect, I really have found a connection
15:18
in relation to Turkey, it's such an energetic city. I
15:21
mean it's many empires have gone through Turkey and the
15:25
energy is just so different. But anyway, going back to
15:28
the languages, I feel that certain people, and this is
15:34
just my from reading and from my own experience, I
15:38
think that certain people do certain ways depending on how
15:41
their language is formed. So some languages are always active,
15:48
some languages are always passive in terms of action and
15:52
for example for Filipino, for my native language, it's always
15:57
about relation. You know, the words actually change depending on
16:02
who you do it with, yes, and what time you're
16:05
doing it, and where you're doing yes exactly how your
16:08
mood is. Yeah, So there's always that. And I feel
16:11
like when I write songs, I sometimes run out of
16:15
words to just to just even reach that same emotional
16:19
level that I wanted to express.
16:21
Speaker 5: So what's the best time for you to write songs
16:23
like really good songs?
16:24
Speaker 4: Actually, there are times that I was working out at
16:28
the gym and then suddenly, all of a sudden, I
16:31
thought of this, and I come rushing home, thinking I
16:34
need to get home before I forget this, or just
16:38
use your.
16:38
Speaker 5: Cell phone exactly. Even on in traffic when I'm driving,
16:42
I just record myself. But I'm better when I'm pressed
16:46
for time. When she has a deadline to me, I
16:51
always tell the other producers give me a deadline, because
16:54
I can't, like, you know, I can't be like, Okay,
16:57
next week is a deadline, be like in thirty minutes
17:01
for me.
17:01
Speaker 4: Now, I want to give me early, give me, give
17:05
me the idea early. If we're going to do the
17:08
show in May, give me the idea in December. So
17:11
what about I'm gonna write it now, maybe I'll finish
17:14
it tomorrow.
17:15
Speaker 5: Actually, so when you are sad, would you still be
17:19
able to perform, write songs, dance and host.
17:25
Speaker 4: You know, I this is a very interesting question. I
17:29
love this question, actually, and I'll answer it as honest
17:34
as I can. And I've gone through a lot, a
17:37
lot of losses in my life, family members, even the
17:43
love of my life. And so my late husband's niece
17:49
actually told me a quote from the Marvel movies. I
17:56
think somebody I couldn't really, I don't know then research it,
18:00
but she said this to me, what is grief if
18:06
not love persevering? You know what a sadness but just
18:13
so much love that wants to give out but cannot.
18:19
And So when I'm sad and I'm feeling like this,
18:23
you know, when I'm when I'm not really one hundred
18:26
percent because I'm having that emotion, I trans I remember
18:29
that quote. I'm only loving too much? So why don't
18:35
I pour the love into the song, pour the love
18:39
into the performance.
18:40
Speaker 5: Yes, it's like seeing seeing the mess you are, right,
18:44
the mess you are exactly, you know, saying the happy
18:48
you are, saying the desperate you are.
18:52
Speaker 4: You know, yes, just be who you are at that point,
18:57
use that and apply the emotions. And I always say this,
19:03
I I have nothing else but love to give. And
19:07
if I am, you know, not one hundred percent that day,
19:12
it's just because there's so much love that I want
19:14
to give to someone that I don't have, and so
19:18
you receive it. This is for you then, and this
19:20
makes me just happy. Just make me, you know, elated,
19:25
excited because you're service. Yeah, I just evolve, I just
19:30
transform that energy.
19:32
Speaker 5: That's very good.
19:33
Speaker 3: Like Anazona Jayne as. We we really want to make
19:37
people happy at the end of the day.
19:39
Speaker 4: And that's our job.
19:40
Speaker 3: That is our job to make me feel happy. And
19:43
we feel good when we make you feel really.
19:45
Speaker 4: Good when sometimes absorb their we absorb what they have, yes,
19:50
and then we give it back to them in a different.
19:52
Speaker 5: Manner, in a more positive way, negative and then out positive.
19:57
So I know you have a music video that we
20:00
you want.
20:00
Speaker 4: To show to people, but just let's just choose the
20:03
PG one. Okay, Okay, we'll just do no just kidding
20:08
there all PG.
20:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, showing like a disco ball that time may just
20:42
be right, gliding like trouble and giving it all to night.
20:54

22:50

23:37
Speaker 4: Really good?
23:40
Speaker 5: Videos like I want to do a music video now
23:43
we should do.
23:44
Speaker 3: It a big back up, so much backup dancers behind,
23:49
and you know.
23:49
Speaker 4: Dan, I love big production members.
23:54
Speaker 2: So you have a singing side too, You have that
23:57
music side. All of us singers have a more inside
24:00
to us. Yes always and Raffi here you said that
24:04
you were a teacher.
24:05
Speaker 4: Yes, I used to teach in New Mexico. For the
24:09
Navajo Reservation. So if my students are watching you, if this,
24:15
if this episode gets to you, Hi, there's so many
24:20
I was teaching there for six years, so some of
24:22
them have already graduated high school. Yeah, and I'm still
24:25
in touch with their parents, and they still remind me
24:28
how much I've I've helped in you know, encouraging them
24:34
and showing their talent. So I'm happy about that. And
24:38
that was the teacher.
24:39
Speaker 2: What is your I guess what is the biggest lesson
24:41
you've learned as a teacher for six years at the
24:44
Navajo reservation?
24:45
Speaker 7: Wow?
24:47
Speaker 4: Will you throw the best questions ever? You know, I'm
24:52
a lifelong learner. I always believe that no matter how
24:56
great the lesson I'm learning now, there's a greater lesson
24:59
I'm going to learn again tomorrow, you know. And But
25:04
to just answer that concisely, you know, and explicitly, I
25:13
feel like the best way to describe is that as
25:18
a teacher or whatever our job is, there's always a stage.
25:23
You know, as a teacher, you kind of have this
25:25
platform near the blackboard area, and no matter how you're feeling,
25:34
no matter how busy or sad or confused you are,
25:38
of the things happening outside your job and your personal side.
25:43
When you get to that platform, that stage, you have
25:47
got to educate those children. You've got to educate, give
25:51
your all so that they come home today bringing an
25:55
important lesson from you. And I guess that's why I
26:02
really value that when I am performing, you know, I
26:07
I take that same lesson and say, look, once, once
26:13
upon a time, you are a teacher, Ralph, you are
26:16
a teacher, and now you're Raffie Blue, and your job
26:20
is that you know, in many ways, even when you're performing,
26:24
you educate too. So the things that you say right
26:27
with you know, your intros for your song or yeah,
26:33
so yeah, that's the greatest lesson because those kids like
26:39
an audience, they have an expectation of you, and you
26:45
shouldn't and you know, it's just more than more than
26:49
being your job. I think that specially, teaching is about
26:56
the legacy that you leave. So I actually, I'm actually
27:00
lucky that teaching and performing is not very far from
27:03
each other. It's not yea, it's not. It's not a
27:06
big it's not a huge leap. But yeah, that's the
27:11
most important lesson I've ever learned from teaching and from
27:18
my students as well, and from my co teachers.
27:21
Speaker 3: I really love that because teachers are very can be
27:26
very influential in well.
27:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, and especially us artists. Yeah, we always
27:32
we have this platform to influence and actually teaches and
27:39
actually create a group of people that actually understands you.
27:43
And that's influence, right, And this is another identification of
27:49
myself well, well, being here in an identify. I feel
27:53
like there's a lot of revelation, right because you see
27:57
this person this is what you think, you know, intimidating whatever,
28:02
but actually when you when you dig deeper, you'll realize
28:07
you break down the personality and wow, there's so much more.
28:11
Speaker 8: You know.
28:12
Speaker 5: That's why I said, you know, the more intimidating you are,
28:15
the more that.
28:16
Speaker 4: I'm going to be. Well, there's mystery, right, And I
28:20
love tell that because I was.
28:23
Speaker 5: You know, people say that I'm intimidating, but I've got
28:26
to admit.
28:27
Speaker 4: I've got to admit when when I came to Las Vegas,
28:30
I'm I'm the newcomer. You guys, I've been here doing
28:36
all the performances and just one look, I already know
28:40
they are definitely you know, like and I love actually
28:45
this is something for you. Brand. I love how you
28:48
composed yourself in that corner, conserving all your energy. You
28:52
weren't even You're just like this, And I love that composure.
28:56
I'm always naturally loud, so I admire that.
29:02
Speaker 5: Always I always have to prepare.
29:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am quiet, Yeah.
29:06
Speaker 4: You are like I admire that composure. But then when
29:09
you step up on stage.
29:11
Speaker 1: Whoa who is?
29:14
Speaker 5: I love your stay quiet and focused.
29:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, you kind of have to be.
29:19
Speaker 2: I mean, when you're on stage, you need to be
29:21
that different person it is you need you really need that. Yeah,
29:25
and just like Beyonce, she has fears. I know Beyonce, Yeah,
29:30
you have to be a different.
29:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, we can go back to your old self. Like me,
29:35
I'm an introvert, but then on stage and.
29:38
Speaker 4: Here I have to be.
29:41
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeahs guarantee.
29:43
Speaker 4: But when I met you, Okay, this is also a revelation.
29:48
Speaker 5: I really don't know each other.
29:49
Speaker 4: You didn't know and then you know all the other people,
29:52
and I was like, oh my, gosh, I'm the only
29:54
one she doesn't know. Everyone seems to be like doing
29:57
best and best with her and oh my, But actually
30:01
later on I realized who you are. So I was like,
30:07
oh my god, that feeling that that star quality that
30:12
I am sorry, but that feeling of intimidation is not intimidation.
30:18
It's starstruck. Yeah. So I really have big respect and
30:25
big admiration for the ones who paved the way, the
30:28
ones in the industry who paved the way for me
30:31
to be inspired to even start, you know, like be
30:35
inspired to create something. It's because they dared create something.
30:39
And so what am I doing here? Right? So I'm
30:43
very respectful of the ones I'm following.
30:46
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you all. This is I want to
30:50
leave a a great legacy.
30:52
Speaker 4: This sure is a great legacy.
30:54
Speaker 5: Here in Vegas and hopefully the entire United States and
30:59

32:42
Speaker 5: Is there any upcoming shows?
32:46
Speaker 4: And yes, well, actually to mark this special this this
32:51
is actually how I release music. I release music with
32:57
a special event. So because Pinoy Festive all in Las
33:00
Vegas is one of the biggest festivals, I played that
33:03
and performed that. I actually released a song the same
33:07
time as this one. So Pinoi Festival started on October ten,
33:13
and so I released that song I talked about earlier,
33:17
the song called Come It's actually it was out October
33:20
ten as well, so I market like, how can I
33:24
forget Pinoi Festival. My single came out that time too,
33:28
However I wasn't able to. Yeah, that's that's how I
33:31
do it any any other big performances. That's how I
33:34
choose the day. So also it's ten ten, so it
33:38
was it's for all of the ten out of ten
33:40
out there, So ten out of ten Pinoi Festival as Vegas.
33:48
It's always easy to connect. And my new single come
33:52
has a Riot has Come?
33:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, available in Spotify.
33:58
Speaker 4: Yes, it's It's available on all major streaming platforms. I'm
34:03
still brainstorming for the music video, so hopefully you really
34:08
like the song and watching for the music. The music
34:10
video would be probably have like a part of it.
34:13
You know, it's very eye please can or maybe you know, yeah,
34:21
it would be I would be honored. But I tell
34:25
you briefly, I was imagining it to be someone who
34:30
is It's just a concept. So an alter ego of
34:34
Raffie Blue as a performer is he's actually a performer
34:39
in a religious congregation. Whir. It's like I always love you,
34:46
you know, you know that kind of thing.
34:49
Speaker 5: You should pursue it.
34:50
Speaker 4: Because many many artists also dedicate themselves to this kind
34:55
of service, in this kind of commitment. I like to
34:58
honor that. And because I am also very active with
35:02
my community. As for shows, I'm actually brewing something locally
35:09
in Florida, and I may come up with a couple
35:13
of like cabaret style shows, because jazz is build my
35:17
first love and it's still it's still we're working it out.
35:21
I'm writing, you know, I'm creating the repertoire, and I'm
35:26
going to practice with a band because I really want
35:29
a band to accompany very.
35:31
Speaker 5: Nice hopefully when we're there.
35:33
Speaker 4: It's hopefully, and i'd love to and I'd love to
35:37
accommodate you. So when you come, yeah, we'll say by
35:41
the beach or something.
35:43
Speaker 5: I'm in Florida. I always go there during the winter
35:45
music conferences, so I really miss it. So next time,
35:51
since you're there now.
35:53
Speaker 4: But the other the cost it's warmer waters.
