• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Now, would you say your contemporary R and B?
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, but I like to use the term
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: rhythm and blues because sometimes R and B it feels
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: like it's describing a certain sector and soul gets left out,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: like the Teddies, the Luther Vandraws, the the al Greens,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: the more soulful classic acts from the seventies. So I'll
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: say I'm contemporary rhythm and blues contemporary soul.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like R and B is what rhythm
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: and blues is back?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're left, but go ahead.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I think yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: I feel like anytime I'm here is is here because
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I take the I take the space really serious. I'm
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: not if you hear a body away from me, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of effort put into it, and there's
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: an effort to elevate the sound in general. That's why
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: my newest album, Beloved, I'm like, I want to make
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: it to a point where no one can drop anything
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: less than this, So I'm raising the standard.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Is that why you don't drop as often as your
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: fans will want?
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Yes, Well, it's a couple of reasons. So the main
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: one is all my music is autobiographical, so I'm writing
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: based on life as it happens. So and I'm not
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: really in control of the flow of stories I have
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: to tell.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like when somebody drag your name through the mud? Yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: through the mud. That was the first song I said, Damn.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: That's how I kicked the door down. And in the
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: streams were just cinematic. I wanted to I'm big on
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: world building, I'm not a single artist. I'm an album artist.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: I'm a world building, live playing album artists. So mud
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: was just perfect because it just sets the tone. Really,
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: it's just the bravado of it, just like it's like
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: like fingerpointing music.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like wipe that dirt off.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: There's really an experience more so than you're just going in.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: There to record exactly.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It's like much more than a job.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, I make music because I have to. I
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: literally it's like my my therapy. That's why it's tricky though,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: because if you're doing something because you have to, and
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: it's like your therapeutic process is your it's so vulnerable,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: and then you put it out to the world to critique.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: And I don't have a stage name, so any critique
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: is actually like I feel like you critiquing me as
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: a person people I never even met. Like that takes
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: a lot of courage. I could be running around just
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: hidden in Italy, in a random place somewhere, but I
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: still time and time again decide to be courageous enough
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: to put this flaws and vulnerability out to the public
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: to even be nitpicked. It's hard, though, in.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: The industry where you can create a persona. Did you
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: ever think about a stage name or you always knew that?
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Nah?
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: I think because my name is just so unique and
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: I never met another give Yon.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: So you never thought of saying, yeah, that's what that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: what them girls was telling you, right, I like them
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: name it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: No, I never maybe like maybe for an album. Maybe
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: I'll do like an alias for an album at some point,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: but like now, I never was like I'm gonna go
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: buy a different stage name. I kind of regret that, though.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I feel like it would have been easier to turn
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: it off and on.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: So so you feel like there's no turning it off
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: being given.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: On unless I but the stuff I like to do
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: on my downtime is it kind of feels off because
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm going to coffee shops, I'm thrifting, I'm going
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: to art galleries. I'm going to watch classic movies. So
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: I'm not it's not really a frenzy.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You really can't do that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: You're doing that, yeah, security, No, Nah, you can't.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: You can't do that, sir.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: I've been The most that's gonna happen is it's actually great.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: People actually feel bad coming up to me. I think
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: it's because of the music I make. They're like, I'm
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: so they apologize for even coming up.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: To me walk I'm so sorry.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry. I just want to tell you, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: I think it's because of my writing. You can tell
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: that I'm it's more of a it's super personal and
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I'm not doing it for fame or anything. So they
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: probably feel bad knowing that I'm a more private, keep
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: to myself person. So in the worst case is they'll
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: be like, can I get a picture? That's worst and
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: best case I'm like, yeah, sure, because that's what happened
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: to me. Though I had that fear of like because
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: I blew up during the pandemic when I haven't experienced
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: any type of notoriety. So I was at the house like, dang,
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: do I need a security everywhere I go? Do I
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: need to go to a grocery store? Do I need
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: to this?
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: This? This?
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: So then I would like I started to create some
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: type of like agoraphobia, like social anxiety because I was like, oh,
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: and then I would go out and then I'll be.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Like, I wonder if the people looking at me they
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: know who I am. I don't nobody give it?
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: Then nobody care it's not even that serious. And if
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: they do, that's just like, yo, I like you. I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: like yo, I like it too.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: So then it's just like and nobody. It's not like
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: anybody gonna try to harm me that that just wouldn't.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: That would just be random, like what.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: And I think it's your demeanor.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: You seem like a very chill person, and I think
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: that also helps with people being like, Okay, this person
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: is And it's like the places that you ad like
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: if you.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: At a coffee shop, if you reading a book.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: This is like like a hey, one time a team macha,

  Speaker 3: You don't like coffee. I got a story about it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: What's the story?
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: When I work at Chucky Cheese.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: You worked at Chucky Cheese, got it?
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: I used to get in the Chucky thing too, every
• 14:03

• 16:01
  Speaker 5: off of the movie for us seriously, Yeah, like all
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: day of the movie plays. Oh that's why I never
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: met Tom Hanks. But if I do, we got a problem.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: I've seen him every day for five years.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Five years a waiter.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Well, I started as a host and then I went
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: to a server, terrible server though, you were a terrible Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: I never went back to the tables, and that's customer service.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I was horrible.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: People did that because you'll be like, wait, where's my service?
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: What were you doing? Forget?
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wasn't like trying to think I don't know
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: what the hell I was doing.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I would like forget.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I was at work musicians and this was a long beat,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: long beach because that's where.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: You you were doing this to make money to for music.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and just like it was tricky though, because I
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: didn't I didn't know anyone in music.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know if.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: It was even a realistic thing because I had no
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: no connections, no resources, So I was just like, I'm
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: gonna just get a job while I figured myself out.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: But also I was always just working on the craft.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: But the thing is, what is it possible to even
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: do this, like as a career.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Now, how was you in your relationship with your auntie?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Because I've seen that you said you started feeling disrespectful
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: because your auntie didn't ask you. I can't believe you're
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: this person now you all right, I'm five years mom,
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah you're one.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: She's just like, so can't believe it because no one
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: in our family. This is like the first anything, no,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: no nepotism at all. So she's just like, what what's
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: going on?
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: You're two? She like, this is like a dream. I
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: can't believe you did it. You're three? She like, you
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: really did it? Y're four?
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: She like, I just can't. I feel like I'm not
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: a wak right now, I can't believe you did it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, now my feeling is getting hurt cause
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: now like you you two in disbelief because.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: She's like, year five, you like you really did it? Huh.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I'm like my son, you this one.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, like before I was like, yeah, crazy right,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: year five, I'm like, what you're saying.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: You didn't think it was gonna work. You didn't think
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: I was gonna be and believed.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Mama's being mom, MoMA's being Mama. Yeah, you got any siblings? Uh, well,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I got my dad.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: I got siblings on my dad's side and on my
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: mom's side, but I grew up with the siblings on
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: my mom's side and she had four boys. But that's
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: why I started writing, because there was there was only
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: a couple emotions that were even allowed in the house
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: between us.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Otherwise it would just be like that we antrol each
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: other and he mad.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: I'm just like, But then I found out at an
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: early age, like I could just express myself through this
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: and it's more palatable, palatable to people because they take
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: it more. It's just vulnerability instead of like, you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: by to judge someone's journal, like that's kind of I mean,
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: in an intimate setting, on a grand scheme, grand stages,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: people people judge our journals.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Now, as an artist of your caliber and also a writer,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: are you also open to having writers co write with you? Yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: but I know sometimes y'all take that personal.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Now, it is like you do want to. But then
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: I think once you proving yourself, like road Hits by myself,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: it becomes less about being the one holding the camera
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: or acting, and you're okay with being a director and
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: being like this, this, this, But I still haven't found that,
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Like I can't just take a whole song.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I was gonna ask the next question, have you ever
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: not written a damn thing?
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: And that's hard because it's like my favorite I think
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: my favorite thing about my writing is besides the melodies,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: is the concepts, like super nuanced concepts that people haven't
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: thought of. And I found out I find out with
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: writers it's a little more vague sometimes because they're just
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: they're not they're not always writing from their own personal
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: experience and just writing a good song. So it's like
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: it's a dance. I'm still trying to figure it out
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: because I don't want to have to write all these
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: songs that's not I don't. I understand people take pride
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: in it, but I'm like, I've proven it already. I
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: just want to make it be a part of good music.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: And it's probably it's probably a lot of work. It's
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: so much work.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: It's so much work, and then you can write a
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: full song and be like, Okay, let me edit because
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm just a fan of writing in general, because
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: I think as I expand the world of giving on
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: these these stories still need some like some of these
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: songs and albums need like some film adaptations to them
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: because they're so relatable and so.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Nuanced.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: So it feels specific in all of these things. So
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I would love to one day just when
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: people see my name that I like wrote a movie,
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: people tune into that because it's like, oh, Gibeon wrote it,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: so it's going to be quality and honest and believable.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: So and I just study writing and that makes a
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: songwriter process harder because now I'm elevated my taste, so
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: now I'm aware of what could be better.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because now you've become a picky eater you like exactly,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: You're like, man, I can tell you ain't really experienced.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: That wrote that yesterday, Like label stop.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Sending me these guys like I don't like the Yeah.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: So but when I do sit down and like co
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: write with somebody in it, it's more so to fill
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: in the blanks. What about production though, production, Oh, no,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: I'm I just offer what's world and a vision. But
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: my producer who found me, his name is seven Thomas.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: He's like top symptoms. He's a he's a mastermind, like you.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Have to curate together for the vibe to be perfect
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: or do.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Sometimes he can send you write.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: To it now.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: I just I just I could write to it just
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: on my own and then we come in. But he's
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: also an amazing vocal producer. He'll be like, you should
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: redo this, m you should so he can range and
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: he don't want to found me.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: He's so he's like he's kind of like yo, Quincy
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Jones exactly.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: That's a perfect example. And I learned through production and
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: everything through him. So I remember, I got to a
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: point where I was like, yo, I want to learn
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: how to play more and produce.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not doing that.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think you got time.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: That takes a long time.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Even for example, like because we interview rappers too, rappers
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: can do a song in like ten minutes.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: They were doing like eight songs in a session. I'm like,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: why was that, bro?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: It could take y'all a month.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: A month year to do. But that's why, that's why
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: we need you to get songwriters, because.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Three years without an album is great and it's that
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: things getting mad, be getting mad?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Bro, what do you call them?
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: By the way, I don't have a name, but I've
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: been calling like I've been doing meet and greets for
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I've been doing meet and greets and talking to them,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: and then my album is Beloved, and naturally I'm just like,
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: thank you, love it. Mm hmm, So like for now
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: it's kind of my beloved. But then I can't because
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: when one of the homies walk up, I'm dapping them up.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: So I'm like, oh wait, I can't put them all
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: in one group.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: So you can my beloved. Yeah, I'm like, you gotta
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: do it and walk off stage the meet and you
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: gotta walk off Oh yeah, yeah, look like did this
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: niggas has called me beloved?
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: It's hard to like, it's hard unless you have a
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: majority of one group, one demographic for sure, like a
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: like a Playboard CARDI could be like vamps because it's
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: like mostly guys and it's like that that's kind of
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: a harsh thing to just call.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: A girl who's a Playboard CARDI fan. That's like, honestly, no,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: that could work. Could work. Who else is on Rihanna?
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: She calls.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: The Navy.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: It's hard and I think I feel like, I feel like,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: do they have to name themselves?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Sometimes?
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I think sometimes they just create, Like I think the
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: fan base just create and say hey, this is and
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: then you talk.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: To your fans too, so you know, of course the barbs.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: That's yeah. So you know, I'm pretty sure they're gonna
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: start coming on over when this comes out of.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: It, because I've been calling or at least for this tour. Okay,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: it's run okay for sure, or.
• 24:40

  Speaker 5: a fan base or just the public discourse about R

  Speaker 5: can do it, I won't critique it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I'll just gonna make what I like.

• 32:07
  Speaker 5: R and B all the time from people who don't
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: make it. That gets someone, Yeah, because it's just like
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: it's like it's almost like a like I understand that sometimes,
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: like in sports, there's like a Stephen A. Smith that
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: can he could critique basketball and be like blah blah

  Speaker 2: You are an album artist. Yeah, would you say also
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: that you're a performance type of artist. Yeah, you love
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: to perform more so than like shooting a video.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely. I think it's just it's more of
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: a flow.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: And then when I'm in flowed, stuff comes out that
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: I could never have planned, even interviews like this, Like
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: if I came in here with like a script, it
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: just wouldn't like the stuff I wanted to say. Yeah,
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: it would just be like I like those happy accidents.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: And sometimes on tour, you just it's just more loose
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: and relaxed than like even sitting in this I don't
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: even like sitting in the studio that long, like writing music,
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: because I'm like, that's when I'm in like scientist mode
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: and making sure everything is right.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: So I mean that's what we do. We you know,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: labels and everybody, they sent us prep sheets.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't read. I don't read I read it.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to the music.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I'm a study and then we're gonna flow because we
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: like to have a conversation and we like the the

  Speaker 2: of the Faith Project with a Keisha. How does give

  Speaker 2: you strengthen or keep his mental health intact?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: What do you do?
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: I say, the two most important things to me will
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: be working out. It could be something small, just run,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: weightlifting those little things. Or just like your core family friends,
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: because conversation pull up, conversation pull up and not even
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: on some what you've been going through. It could just
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: be like a normal just aging combo and not energized you.
• 36:22
