- 0:35Speaker 1: and good morning. How are you doing today.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I'm great. I'm about to sell.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Absolutely fantastic and very excited to spread the word about
- 0:41Speaker 1: where you are, dude, because oh my god, what you're
- 0:44Speaker 1: doing is creating the ultimate experience. And that's right up
- 0:48Speaker 1: my alley. Because I want people to be able to say,
- 0:51Speaker 1: I went out to Vegas. You should see what just
- 0:53Speaker 1: happened out in Vegas. And that, to me is when
- 0:56Speaker 1: you've got that inside your creative imagination. That means that
- 1:00Speaker 1: we as fans, we're going home with what you saw.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Mm that part. Yeah, I'm excited. This is this is different.
- 1:08Speaker 2: This is a different feeling. You know, just shot up
- 1:11Speaker 2: to everybody who came to the opening weekend. This is
- 1:15Speaker 2: an experience. This is if you heard any of my
- 1:18Speaker 2: you know, in any of my concert is not a concert.
- 1:24Speaker 2: This is an experience and it is a real residency.
- 1:27Speaker 2: It's a planet Hollywood. It's in Las Vegas, Nevada, the
- 1:30Speaker 2: music capital, entertainment capital of the world. And this is
- 1:33Speaker 2: culture front and personal and refined and elevated.
- 1:39Speaker 1: What was it like to sit down with Adam and
- 1:41Speaker 1: design this because that's the part of the process I've
- 1:43Speaker 1: always wanted to be a part of, because the imagination
- 1:46Speaker 1: has to be set free and then everybody collaborates together,
- 1:49Speaker 1: like writing music. I mean, I love this kind of stuff.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's fascinating to shout out to Adam Blackstone,
- 1:58Speaker 2: Derek Hodds, brilliant, both brilliant, both brilliant, just brilliant people
- 2:04Speaker 2: when it comes to music. And I look at it like,
- 2:06Speaker 2: you know, working with the modern day Miles Davis's and
- 2:09Speaker 2: stuff like, because they just understand it. It's such a
- 2:13Speaker 2: different way. And when you got that many musicians on
- 2:15Speaker 2: the stage and you're trying to create these moments, it
- 2:19Speaker 2: takes a different type of thought process. So I definitely
- 2:22Speaker 2: respect them on that and the conversations are really great
- 2:25Speaker 2: because we were you know, it's collaborative. It's like, you know,
- 2:29Speaker 2: this is what I'm thinking, Okay, how do we bring
- 2:31Speaker 2: this to life? And just when they come back with things,
- 2:34Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that is that's that's the next level.
- 2:36Speaker 2: That's amazing. And when it's tied all together and you
- 2:39Speaker 2: see the finished product, it's it's it's it's it's actually
- 2:46Speaker 2: like something you know, you've seen something from the life
- 2:52Speaker 2: that you actually just had these conversations about. But to me,
- 2:55Speaker 2: it's just like it's it's actually life changing because now
- 2:59Speaker 2: I know that these visions that I have can be real. Well,
- 3:03Speaker 2: this is It's one of those moments.
- 3:05Speaker 1: What is it like for you, though, Gzi, when when
- 3:07Speaker 1: you're out there inside, when you're putting that stage together,
- 3:09Speaker 1: you're out there in those seats getting the full vision
- 3:12Speaker 1: of that stage, and then all of a sudden you're
- 3:14Speaker 1: the dude on the stage, so you have to be
- 3:16Speaker 1: able to see it from the lens being pulled out
- 3:18Speaker 1: and then you being where the lens.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Is right right. Well, I think that's the beauty of it.
- 3:25Speaker 2: You know, you get to see you know this, this
- 3:27Speaker 2: this work of art that you put together and you
- 3:30Speaker 2: know what it makes you feel. So if it makes
- 3:32Speaker 2: you feel as fired, you know to make them feel
- 3:35Speaker 2: as fired as well. And it's just like I was
- 3:37Speaker 2: blown away when we started putting all the pieces together.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I'm like, Wow, you can actually do this, you know,
- 3:43Speaker 2: you can actually do this and tell this story, because
- 3:45Speaker 2: that's what it is. It's a story. It's not like
- 3:47Speaker 2: just a show where you come in and just hear music.
- 3:49Speaker 2: You're actually walking through this journey with me, and you're
- 3:52Speaker 2: actually feeling what I felt when I was on this journey.
- 3:56Speaker 1: And to do that, though, I mean that that means
- 3:58Speaker 1: you bared your soul. I mean you're going to be
- 4:00Speaker 1: you want to right there plan planet Hollywood. I mean
- 4:02Speaker 1: for you to get out there and to do what
- 4:04Speaker 1: you're doing with every single musical instrument. They're not up
- 4:07Speaker 1: there just to be seen. Every one of them plays
- 4:10Speaker 1: an integral part of you sharing that story forward.
- 4:16Speaker 2: One thousand with that, and I love every minute of it.
- 4:19Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, when you came up like
- 4:21Speaker 2: I did, and it was just you and your DJ,
- 4:24Speaker 2: you know, doing these these shows, when you look behind
- 4:27Speaker 2: you and you see all those musicians, it's just it's
- 4:31Speaker 2: a feeling you can't describe. And then when you look
- 4:32Speaker 2: in front of you, because this is a black tie event,
- 4:35Speaker 2: you've seen everyone dressed to the nine both tides, evening
- 4:40Speaker 2: gowns and these things. It's just together, we made this moment,
- 4:44Speaker 2: we made this experience because everybody showed up and they
- 4:48Speaker 2: showed out and they looked the part. So it's like,
- 4:50Speaker 2: when you're in this room, you're this You're in this
- 4:54Speaker 2: energy people that are there celebrating life and celebrating this moment.
- 4:59Speaker 2: So it's amazing.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with GZ coming up
- 5:02Speaker 1: next Legend of the Snowman Once in a Lifetime Loss
- 5:09Speaker 1: Vegas Experience GEZ with a residency. I'm a DJ as well,
- 5:15Speaker 1: So I mean, what I love about this is that
- 5:17Speaker 1: you are not afraid to talk about your roots of
- 5:19Speaker 1: music and everything. But even as a DJ, you're proving
- 5:21Speaker 1: to everybody that, yeah, I had my DJ. But if
- 5:24Speaker 1: you really sit back, you're gonna listen. This is real,
- 5:27Speaker 1: authentic music that's been a part of your life, your journey,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and you're probably gonna hear some new stuff in the
- 5:32Speaker 1: way of you taking his home and talking about it.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And there's a lot of records that
- 5:38Speaker 2: I wasn't able to do throughout my career just based
- 5:41Speaker 2: off of, you know, the type of venues I was that.
- 5:45Speaker 2: But there's there's definitely plenty of records that I've never
- 5:48Speaker 2: done live before myself. So to me, that's a whole
- 5:51Speaker 2: new shilling.
- 5:51Speaker 1: What is it going to be like though? When you're
- 5:53Speaker 1: looking out there at the people and they're beautiful. I mean,
- 5:55Speaker 1: I mean you as the entertainer and you look out
- 5:57Speaker 1: there at that black tie event, they're beautiful, dude. Yeah,
- 6:00Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to inspire you even more.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's because they're there to celebrate. They're feeling good,
- 6:11Speaker 2: they're looking good, they're refined. They're there because because it's
- 6:16Speaker 2: a process. You know, you go to a show, you
- 6:18Speaker 2: can just kind of go in your sweats, pull up.
