• 0:00
  All right, let's rock hit record here. I gotta tell you right now,
• 0:06
  Uh, this guy is fun to catch up with because I actually catch
• 0:09
  up more about not music than actually actually, dude, life is good.
• 0:14
  I gotta ask. Uh, you're no stranger to the whole number one journey
• 0:17
  and here we are knocking on the door all over again. Is it still
• 0:21
  exciting after all this time for you? Uh? Yeah, I mean,
• 0:25
  well we always do this this radio day, you know what I mean,
• 0:28
  anytime that gets on the schedule, it's good news. Yeah, what does
• 0:32
  the know? What does the first number one mean for you to to potentially
• 0:36
  another one now in your career? Well, the first number one for me,
• 0:40
  you know, it's kind of like, you know, every new artist
• 0:44
  wants a new new number or I can't talk first number one. Yeah,
• 0:48
  and then like now it's to the point where I just want, you know,
• 0:52
  to keep adding songs to my to my playlist and eventually get to those
• 0:56
  Al Dean number one, Luke Bryan number one numbers. Well, because you
• 1:00
  know, you just brought up two guys that sell out everywhere they go.
• 1:03
  Kane Brown sells out pretty much everywhere you go. At this point now in
• 1:06
  your career, right, you're playing the biggest rooms in the buildings that you've
• 1:10
  played your whole career. But those guys also have bars on Broadway. Is
• 1:14
  that ever an aspiration for Kane Brown? I can't. I don't know if
• 1:18
  I can actually talk about it, Okay, but there might be something all
• 1:22
  right, somewhere down the line. We would love to see Kane Brown on
• 1:23
  Broadway, But not like playing. I mean, you could play, but
• 1:27
  like I want to see your name on the wall. My guy, is
• 1:30
  all I'm saying. Take me through the process of because a lot of us
• 1:34
  don't know how. We know that a writing session becomes a song, once
• 1:40
  it's recorded, becomes an album, but what's the journey on, like making
• 1:44
  sure you're picking the right song's career wise, because you're to the point now
• 1:47
  where you're established, people know your name in multiple formats. One of my
• 1:51
  favorite quotes I've heard you say more than once is you're the DJ Calida country
• 1:53
  music with all the means. And I heard I heard you say with us,
• 1:57
  but I heard you talk to somebody else. I'm like, you need
• 2:00
  to print the T shirt with that. But the process of putting a song
• 2:04
  together, to making sure it's the right one for right now in your career.
• 2:07
  How do you know that that that's the right step. Is it a
• 2:08
  gut thing or oh yeah, I mean my whole career, I've followed my
• 2:13
  gut. But also I think I think it just comes with time in the
• 2:19
  business and then you eventually learn your sound, what your fans gravitate towards,
• 2:23
  and what's a good song for you. Is there a song that you were
• 2:28
  surprised that people react to? Are like, maybe you put it out and
• 2:31
  you're like, we're just gonna put it out. The label feels strong,
• 2:35
  my wife feels strong about I'll put it out. But it has connected and
• 2:39
  you're like, damn, I didn't think it would. Yeah, I've had
• 2:42
  a couple of them, like I didn't want what Is to go to radio,
• 2:45
  which is a huge song for me and then bury Me in Georgia.
• 2:49
  I wanted it to go at first, and then I really thought about it
• 2:53
  and I was like, who is going to relate to this song that's not
• 2:55
  from because I mean, could I get really specific like Chattanooga past the Exit
• 3:00
  in Georgia, I'm like, who's gonna like this song? And once it
• 3:06
  went it was like, I think this was like one of my highest research
• 3:08
  songs or whatever. So it's so good man, I love it. It
• 3:12
  was it was cool just to know that it was doing like that well.
• 3:14
  And you say, like, who's going to relate to? It's funny because
• 3:15
  I'm originally from Minnesota and my son, if we're driving and whatever, songs
• 3:21
  on and like if it talks like bury me in Georgia, I'm like,
• 3:23
  bury me in soda, like Minnesota, and he's like that's not the word.
• 3:25
  Stop changing the words. I'm like trying to be relatable. Get out
• 3:29
  of here. H Do you know what you want to do next? Single
• 3:31
  wise, I have two. I have one that's really fun put off this
• 3:38
  project, no no new music, okay um. And then the other one's
• 3:44
  just a very well written song, but it's like more it's a ballad,
• 3:47
  but it'll make you I mean it'll make you cry. Okay. Is that
• 3:51
  Does that mean it's like parent related, like being a dad. No,
• 3:53
  it's basically like I was just um telling them in there it's it's a song,
• 4:00
  but I grew up without a father figure or anything, so it's you
• 4:02
  know, it's like I think you might relate to. I don't know,
• 4:04
  but it's why do I have a heartwoot car park to my driveway while I'm
• 4:09
  up on not online playing some video games, like why I put on a
• 4:12
  pair of Jordans and think I could be like Mike basically just saying I had
• 4:17
  to be a man. I had I had to grow up and be a
• 4:19
  man, so I never got to be a boy. That's I relate to
• 4:24
  that more than you know, more than you know. I uh, that's
• 4:27
  guy, I have goosebumps. You're gonna have to send it over swicking here.
• 4:30
  Uh so, what's the plan? Do you still celebrate number ones the
• 4:33
  way you used to? Is it still like art? Is it like,
• 4:35
  hey, nope, we wake up the next day. I've noticed I get
• 4:39
  to the point now where it's just like, depending on the writers that are
• 4:42
  on the song, you know, I I celebrate with them. Um.
• 4:45
  A lot of the people I've been working with recently are new writers. I
• 4:48
  just got I think two people their first number ones, and then one Mississippi.
• 4:53
  I got a guy's first number one. So that's what I'm focused on.
• 4:57
  And you bring that up. We talked one mississipp and it was literally
• 5:00
  a guy. I remember the story when we caught up. You had said
• 5:03
  that the dude wasn't from here, but he pulled up in a van with
• 5:06
  a like everybody he's ever met in his whole life, dropping him off or
• 5:10
  something like that in Nashville. Are you still working closely with him because you
• 5:13
  signed him to your publishing company, right, Yeah, he's still on our
• 5:16
  pube company and he's still writing. I haven't got any rights with him,
• 5:21
  but I mean he's still in Nashville. When it comes to working with somebody
• 5:27
  like that who's never done it before, and you mentioned got a couple of
• 5:30
  writers or first number ones, how important is that to you to bring people
• 5:33
  along? Because you're doing great by yourself, and I mean it's nice to
• 5:36
  work with people, but like you're to the point where you probably don't have
• 5:40
  to as much as you did in the beginning. What does it mean to
• 5:42
  you to bring people along on the ride? It means the world to me
• 5:46
  because I you know, I don't hopefully never forget that, so I get
• 5:49
  to you know, just be a part of their life and helped them out
• 5:55
  along the way. You know, hopefully it leads to more number ones and
• 5:57
  gets their names out and things like that. Uh, I would be disrespectful
• 6:02
  to say Kane Brown doesn't get enough downtime. But do you feel you do
• 6:06
  get enough downtime? I mean, because all you do is work. It
• 6:10
  feels like, yeah, well my depression. Man, if I get too
• 6:13
  much downtime, it's bad. So I feel like I get there just a
• 6:17
  perfect amount and that and that downtime isn't necessarily like I mean, because not
• 6:23
  that being a dad is a job. It's like a privilege, right,
• 6:26
  But at the same time, you still need Kane no, man, I
• 6:29
  mean our lives great about that. Like if I say, babe and game
• 6:31
  a little bit. She don't care if I want to go golf or whatever.
• 6:34
  She's she's great at it. Uh you know, just she's a great
• 6:39
  wife. Is she ever? Like let me let me hand me the controller?
• 6:43
  Somebody how this works? I wish? Nah. She used to play
• 6:46
  Pope g with me. Oh yeah, she played. We played one day
• 6:48
  and she got so into it. Uh. So she was downstairs and we
• 6:53
  were talking and she was having a ball and then I said, Babe,
• 6:56
  are you hungry? She said yeah. I said, what do you think
• 6:58
  it is right now? And she didn't realize it. We've been playing for
• 7:01
  six hours and so I was like, it's it's dinner Bay. So we
• 7:05
  ordered pizza and when we kept playing and I was like one of the funniest
• 7:09
  times I've ever had with her. And then I woke up the next morning
• 7:12
  and I felt like she was cheating on me because she was playing with my
• 7:15
  friend. And I was like, what is going on or not? And
• 7:18
  then I switched out. So when I switched to call the duty, she
• 7:21
  just gave up. She's like, now you left her, she cheated and
• 7:26
  he left moved on to a different game. What's the rest of the year
• 7:29
  look like for Kane Brown? Because now you confirmed there is some new music
• 7:32
  in the works. Whatever we're getting next is something that isn't available now,
• 7:36
  So what's the plan on? I don't need a date or anything, but
• 7:39
  like, what's the plan on when we're gonna hear something like that? Um?
• 7:43
  Are you thinking album? Are you thinking EP? Right now? We're
• 7:46
  just focused on single, but we have a lot of music that we have
• 7:48
  recorded. I think we got seven songs that we've that we've got UM and
• 7:54
  then I just you know, I'll be down in Florida coming up, so
• 7:57
  we have writers coming down there, so we had to get in the studio
• 8:01
  because we didn't we didn't think the song was gonna move this fast, so
• 8:05
  we had to do it went quick. Yeah, so we just we jumped
• 8:07
  in. We already record Monday for the song that I think is gonna be
• 8:11
  my single. Um, but it's completely done. I just gotta put my
• 8:15
  vocals on it and the lakes and master and it's ready to go. We're
• 8:18
  looking forward to September. You're heading to Vegas for the Guy Heart Radio Music
• 8:20
  Festival. This has become a different type of festival because literally from the second
• 8:28
  to lightscolo until the pyro hits at the end of the night, I mean,
• 8:31
  it's superstar after superstar, and it's every genre, right, I mean,
• 8:35
  Kelly Clarkson's going to be there, a little Wayne's gonna be there,
• 8:39
  a Kane Brown Low Wayne collab sounds like Ane song right right? What does
• 8:46
  it mean for you to look at your name and see literally the only people
• 8:50
  that are on the bill right now that are representing country music. Cheryl Crow
• 8:52
  has got some country cuts out, obviously, Kelly Clarkson started more country than
• 8:56
  pop, Tim mcgrawan, Kane Brown, Like that's what did you ever think
• 9:01
  that. Obviously, you hope that your name is in lights in every city
• 9:05
  in the world when you get into this. But did you ever think that
• 9:07
  you'd be sharing the stage, sharing the show, sharing the building with Tim
• 9:11
  McGraw. No, I mean we did. We did a pre Super Bowl
• 9:16
  party way back when. But that's that's about it. So are we on
• 9:20
  the same night? Yeah, sick, that's gonna be awesome. Might I
• 9:24
  might see if I can sing? I like it. I love it was
• 9:26
  him. Well, listen, this is where collapse can be born. I'm
• 9:28
  just saying, we know people, you know, people send some texts,
• 9:31
  send some messages, make it happen. What does a show like that mean
• 9:35
  for you as a fan? Though? To know that all these genres over
• 9:39
  two nights, take over this one stage. I think it's awesome because I
• 9:41
  already, you know, I already do this, Like I'm all over,
• 9:46
  you know, genre, So I just love I feel like it's like,
• 9:50
  I mean, there's gonna be some out there that, you know, I
• 9:52
  don't like country music. I get in a fight with those people, but
• 9:56
  uh yeah, it's gonna be fun and hopefully we can win them over and
• 10:01
  turn them into country music. Plus is Vegas blackjack at the end of the
• 10:03
  night. Am I right? That's dangerous too. And there's another thing I
• 10:05
  can't. I got you. I can set you up gambling on your phone
• 10:09
  right now. Let's all right, Well, we gotta wrap things up.
• 10:11
  Kane Brown, thanks for hanging brother. Yea, all right, we'll go shoot
