  Speaker 2: a new single coming out October 23rd, American Reject. I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: love this song. I love how it's a little bit
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: more stripped down. I got to have a sneak peek
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of the music video. It features you in the studio
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and at Stagecoach. Tell me a little bit more about
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: this song.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, yes, we love that. I love how you said
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: that you love that it's more stripped down because that's
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: exactly what it is. It's just me at my core.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? When I'm at my core,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I'm just doodling on the guitar. And one of our
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: producers and bandmates, he's actually playing with us today, James Talbert.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: We were just messing around, and he was playing the guitar.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: We were recording another song, and in the middle of
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that song.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: We just started jamming.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: And that's how the song was born. And yeah, it's
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a special record. It's also a personal record that no
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: matter where you're from, what you've been through, your story,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: anyone can identify with it. You know what I mean?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: And I think it's just so personal and so special
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: that It's just been getting a great response so far.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: It's my first time doing like the pre-save thing and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: actually promoting and actually intentionally setting up a good 60
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: day promo because that's how special the song is to me.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful song. I can't wait for the world
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to hear it. Are you excited to perform at Musician's
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Corner this weekend here in Nashville?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I'm excited. I'm excited. It's my first Americana Fest, my
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: first time being at Musician's Corner. So, you know, I'm
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: a musician that really was on the corner, on the street.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: So it just means everything to be able to come
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: back to these type of stages and still bring.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: The authenticity of what I represented in my vibe.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Very cool. And in addition to your own releases, you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: have penned and produced chart-topping tracks for some of music's
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: biggest stars, including songs for Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, BTS. You've
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: had many of your own releases, but what does it
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: mean for you to carve out your own path as
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a solo artist combining this unique blend of Americana, R & B,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and country?
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: That's actually my favorite part. I love getting to work
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: with the legends and the ghosts and even the up-and-coming
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: artists and just artists in general because collaborating is everything.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: It's nothing like that energy in the room. I learn
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: so much from working with different artists. But Ink at
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the Core is, like I said, a songwriter, playing that guitar,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: telling stories and painting pictures. Nothing makes me happier than
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: when I get to really just connect with my audience,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And meet new fans and
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: be able to play the songs that I write and perform.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Because it's a different thing.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: People always ask me, what do you like better, being
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a songwriter or performing? And I'm just like, I really
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: enjoy performing because I get to do everything at once.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: You know, you get to produce.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: You get to put the show together. You get to sing.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You still get to write, play the songs you write.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: So it's the best of both worlds, you.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Know what I mean? I'm just glad to really be
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: able to do what I love.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: But this is the special part. It's like my heart string.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Like coming out here, being on stage, giving it all
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I got. Yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And that's a tough question that people ask because
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: there are also different types of creative forms, being an
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: artist and performer, writing the songs for other artists, being
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in the studio producing. They're all different, but they're.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Special in their own ways.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Facts. They really are.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: So I love your debut EP, Big Buskin. The artwork
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: is so fun. Fire, right? I love it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I'm stepping.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Do you find it more difficult producing songs for yourself
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: than other artists?
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I do and I don't. It's a trick question because
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I don't because I just let it flow. I don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: have to think about what they like or don't like
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: or I just put the paint where I'm at. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: just let it spill out. But then it's more intentional.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Like for this record, Big Buskin was so intentional in
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: how the records were produced and going back to finish
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: them and bringing the producers in together with me to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: create it, bringing the live musicians and really like sitting down,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: taking my boots off and ironing it out. That's a
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: different type of tenacity and like grinding to really sit
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: there and, okay, obsess over one sound or This organ
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: isn't right.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: This B3, this snare isn't right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: This, you know what I mean? But when it all
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: came together.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: It was probably one of my best pieces of work because.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: The time put into it and the intention. So I
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: feel like it's harder, but it's also easier because it's
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: just like, you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Know, You get to take it in your own direction.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wherever I want to go. And the final product
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: depends on me. Like, when I'm with other artists, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: the final product is in their hands. So, you know
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: what I mean? I can give my input and stuff,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: but it's ultimately up to that artist. So, with me
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: as an artist, I already know it's up to big ink. Absolutely.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And you mentioned spilling it out, putting it out there.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Is that how you got ink for your own brand
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and your artistry?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, you know, I just knew I was with
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: the pen. I always was a songwriter. When I first
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: started my artist name, I was doing gangster rap, southern rap.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Being from the South, we was just on that. You
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like, Pastor Choi was on that
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: crime model. LaJawna Eastside Boy. You know what I mean?
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: That Gucci.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: That's how we came up. So my first artist name
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: was Southern.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And then that evolved.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: And I was like, no, this got to be. You
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: got to have that star power to it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So then I went by Atea Ink, because that was
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: just my real name, Atea. And then I was writing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: So I put the ink on there. And then one
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: day I was just like, no, it's time for just ink.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And people can find you on socials at Spill My Ink, right?
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Spill My Ink. When I first got on IG,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: ink was taken, of course. They didn't even come up
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: with their name. So I came up with Spill My Ink, and.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: That's actually the name of my publishing company as well. Nice.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: It's been a whole little vibe since then.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: That's all he said. We spilling.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Going back to the beginning of your career, what was
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the first big recording session as a producer where you thought, yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I can do this. This is totally my environment. First bit.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you for sure. Like one of
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the things that I have produced, um, could produce, I
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: did it with my, Producer Dave handled it as well
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: for Beyonce, 16 Carriages. And it just came effortlessly. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: was just in there. Only time I've been early for
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a session, got there before everybody else, sat there, was
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: playing a song. And then Dave came and he said,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: that's the song. I said, what?
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: He said, that's it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And then we produced it out from there. And he
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: took it and took it on home. But yeah, like
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: that was just like, oh, all I need is me.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like all I need is
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: all I got. And this is it, just the story,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: the perspective. And that's the producing. The producing is knowing
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: how not to overdo it. Knowing that the simplicity is enough.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Or just knowing the ear and knowing what to use,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: what not to use. And like we always do, we
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: don't overcrowd it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: That's so true. Where did that session and most of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: your sessions take place?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: My sessions take place all around the world. A lot
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: of that beatboxing stuff I did in Atlanta, I did
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: in Nashville. Oh, I did in LA.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: All over.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I travel with my music is throughout the world. You
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? Cause like I'm a people person.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: So where I am, that's where that music is. But
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I record in LA a lot, Nashville, Atlanta.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Mostly New York. I love making music in New
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: York too. Okay.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: So you're all over. What bridge led you to working
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: more in Nashville and country music over the years?
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It's just something I always wanted to do, man. When
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I came down here, we were working with Beyonce. She
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: sent us to Nashville. I came down here before doing
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of songwriter stuff. When I was growing up,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite movies was a thing called Love.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I always wanted to come to Nashville because that just
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: was in my core. It's a music town. It's a
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: songwriter's town. As a songwriter, it's a songwriter's world out
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: in Nashville. I knew I was going to come out
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: here and just immerse myself with the community. And, you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I always loved Tennessee. I got some family from Tennessee,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: so it just made sense. And naturally when I came
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: down here, everybody just gravitated towards it and I just
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: felt so welcome and loved. So I came down here,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: did a project with a couple of the teams that
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I was with, and we just made a hub out here.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Very cool. Yeah, and your roots are in Georgia. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: also read that you were born in Germany. Did you
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of time out there?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. My early years, I was in Germany
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: for sure. As a kid, that's when I was first born.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I was born in Frankfurt, Maine, A.M. hospital and uh
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: it's just been in me you know i mean like
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: i just be traveling and meeting so many people and.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I have people you grew up there you was.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: A military bat yeah so i'm military bat man i.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Like call it military military boss you know.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I mean but yeah germany and just being in turkey
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: and overseas it just gave me a more culture from
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: my perspective and my outlook, and I just never fit
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: in my box. The music is like that because my
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: life was always like that. My mother was a single mother,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: but she gave me the best life that a child
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: could have, and I thank her all the time for
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: giving me the exposure.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: That is great. Yeah, my husband grew up in Germany
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: and bad eye when he was in the military.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: So he's different. We just built different.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just built different. Well, it was just announced that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you are appearing in an upcoming episode of the new
• 11:13

• 11:18
  Speaker 2: that experience like performing on that show?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Man, that was incredible. It's actually one of my mom's
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: favorite shows. So before they had put my music on
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the show and at the time I didn't catch it

  Speaker 3: my band, Vintage Nation. Every time you come to the show,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: you see a different performance. It might not be the
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: same vibe. Some songs might be just acoustic. Sometimes it
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: might be rocking out real hard. Sometimes it might be
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: just violins and strings with a guitar. You just never
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: know the experience. So I tell everybody, experience ink. So

• 14:52
  Speaker 2: splitting your time between your own artistry, performing and producing
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: songs for other artists right now?
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right now I'm just being tugged right now because

• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and stagecoach, shooting movies, I'm always finding time when the
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: artists call me at like, hey, where you at?
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: We need you.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Let's go. You know what I mean? So I always

• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I'm like a doctor. When I get that call, I'm like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: so in between calls, I'm going real hard. And then
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I get that call, I'm like, all right, let's pull
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: it up. Yeah, you're making it for everyone.

  Speaker 2: a Nashville-related question since we're on Taking a Walk Nashville, Inc.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite Nashville memory or collaboration?
• 15:50

• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Come on, man. This top up there.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: But one of my favorite Nashville memories, I don't know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: performing at The rhyming was though really getting to do
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: for him there with Big X the plug. That's actually
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: on Apple Music. So if you go to my Apple page,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: you can see the whole performance. The mix came out.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Incredible live show. I had the Snape boot song. You
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? So we really represented that for
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: the hip hop culture, for the rap, everything that we
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: came from, for Big X to meet. And just doing
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: it live at that type of legendary venue, I think
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: it They haven't really did something like that before. So
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: that was a top memory in Nashville. But everything, even
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: from going to the Alchemist Cafe, I always go there
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: and get my fresh juices. Just being in the community,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: that's what I love. Going to Dog's Cafe, getting my
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: soul food.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
• 16:45
