  Speaker 1: Did you see Jeremy?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Go back and watch Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy and and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and right away, inside my heart, I'm going I have
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a feeling I'm going to be talking with Jeremy this
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the days after this whole thing is over and he
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: wins the damn thing.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Oh man, oh man, that would be amazing, that would
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: be beautiful.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: There's just something that you're bringing that we're missing. I mean,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: is it something that you have to go you know
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that let it, let it happen. But I can't really
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: buy into it yet until until the universe takes care
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: of me first.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Oh man.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'm just grateful to be to be able to experience
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: this right now. It's I don't even know. I don't
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: even know, man. I've been doing this for such a
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: long time in so many different ways, but this opportunity
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: is like it's just like a confirmation for mutual real
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: confirmation for everything that I've done in the past on
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: my work, all of the good days and bad days,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you know, just I'm just really grateful to be here
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: more than anything.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Don't you think, though, that part of your success is
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: based on the connection that you have with living plants.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Because I am a spiritualist and I sit in a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: forest every day. I know what these plants are doing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I don't write for me, I write for you plants,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and you've got to be the same way with singing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I honestly, I haven't like consciously made that connection, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I think so because.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I felt like it was important to have plants living.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I live in La so I feel like it's important
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: to have plants here more than I'm from DC, so
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: there's a little more human but here, you know, I
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: felt like it was important and it just it just worked.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: You know. They came, you know, some of them were
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: gifts I purchased, and I talk to them, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I make sure that I wanted them as much as
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I can, you know, on regular on the regular schedule.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: But I do think that they play a huge role
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: and the energy in my house, and I don't take that,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I don't take that for granted.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because it's such a connection in your personal space,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and then what you do is then you share it
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: with those out here. We're sitting here going, oh my god,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the world's caving in. But no, I've got Jeremy Keith.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: He's gonna he's gonna make sure that I'm okay.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Long as long as I got me and my plants,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: we can we can conquer the world.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: But you know that's how, especially here in the South,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: how how those Southern women are. Oh man, I got
• 3:43

  Speaker 1: Man. I honestly, I have been getting messages.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: You know, like that, and this is beautiful, like I
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you know, that's amazing. I listened to me as many
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: times did you want to?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So you sang with Stephanie Mills on your journey? My god,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I've been with Stephanie. You could not ask for a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: more open and honest traveler of sound man.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Absolutely her rawness on stage. You know, I got a
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: chance to see that as a child, as a as
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a young not as a child, but as a young adult.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: You're a child at nineteen. I don't care what you say,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and I mean, I learned so much from her. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: learned I learned to to you know, once you get
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: on that stage is just let it, let goah, you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: and she she really is an example of that more
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: than anything.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Well, you you kind of grow that in the way
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of being a part of the gospel choir, in the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: way that you have gotten when you're looking out there
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: at everybody in that congregation, you know, lives are changing
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: right there in front of you. You are at a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: front stage or the front seat of witnessing change.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Man, absolutely, And it's the same. It's the same with
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: me anytime I'm on stage. Man, it's the same feeling,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: it's the same experience. And you know, I I can
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: remember like really making that connection because I grew up
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: in the church, you know, and I've been saying church
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: for so long and coming out of that and seeing
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: on different stages and seeing those similarities. It's like music
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: is so powerful, man, It's such a powerful thing.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Please do not move. There's more with Jeremy Keith right
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: around the corner. Hey, thanks for coming back to my
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: conversation with Jeremy Keith from NBC's The Voice. Adam Levine
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: says that you are no longer a background singer. Can
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I tell you how many times I praised him saying
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that I even raised my arms like I'm in a
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Southern Baptist.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Church, you say to my mother that, oh my got it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was like it was like God spoke
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: right through him to the rest of us, going you
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: better pay attention to this one.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: This one's gonna be bat Man. What a statement.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I I love singing backgrounds.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It's what I do.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It's it's a huge part of who I am. And
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: you know, it's easy to get stuck there when you
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: have a love for it, you know, and my love
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: for it, it doesn't mean that that's my final destination. And
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: that's the totality of who I am as an artist.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: And I really had to snap out of that, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: because when you find a comfortable place, you don't want
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to move, you know.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And I was comfortable, you know, but well, it reminds me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: It reminds me so much of George Benson when he
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: finally started singing instead of just playing the guitar, or
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: even Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Junior from the Fifth
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Dimension because they had to sit there and try to,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: you know, figure out how am I going to get
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to the front of this band and be recognized for it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I love about what you're doing is that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: you're showcasing an art form today to those that are
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: singing in the background, going step up, step up. You
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: need to be seen as well as heard.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And my friends.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I have other friends that have come out of the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: background and they've inspired me to do it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I'm what I'm doing here, so.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I know if I can do it, and you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: watching my peers come out of the background, I know
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: that you know you really want it, if you really
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: believe in your destiny, it can absolutely happen.
