  Speaker 2: Hey, guys, welcome back to be on The Bachelor. This
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: is your host, Susie Evans. Today I'm going to be
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: chatting with Lolo. She performed on Nick File's season of
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor. They were in New Orleans downtown. It was
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: on Rachel Lindsay's one on one. So we're really excited
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: to jump right in and ask her all the details.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Hi, Hi, how's it going good? How are you good?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you for hopping on and joining us.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, So you performed your song Shine on Nick Kael's
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor. What was that experience like for you and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: how did it feel to share your music in a
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: very different way than what you're probably used to.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Well, it was it was an interesting experience all the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: way around because the process of what led to me
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: even being on the episode, it snowballed really quickly on
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: tour at the time, and we were up in the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in the northwest, the West Coast, which was far from
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, which is where we filmed. And I have
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: been an avid Bachelor watcher forever. Me and my mom,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it's like been our thing. All the years that I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: lived away from her, it was our thing, where like
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we would watch it each week and talk to each
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: other about it and that kind of thing.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: So, and I had just put.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Out a record at the time, which Seane was on,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and I had had my management.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I'd said I would love to be.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Able to take my mom to one of those finale
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: tapings one day, and like, can you basically just send
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: my album and spend a note saying, hey, we have
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this client who loves The Bachelor and connect show their
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: mom whatever.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And so a couple of days go by and.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: They called and said, we loved this album and we
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: want to fly her next week to film for nick
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: viol season.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: That's literally what happened, no way.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: So I just genuinely, as a fan of the series,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Take my mom to Opinality.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And it snowballed very quickly into this thing. And when
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: my manager called me, we were in Seattle and he was.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Like, are you sitting down? And I was like, I'm
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: not sitting down. Should I be sitting down? Like you
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: might want to sit down?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I was like okay, and he was like, they want
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you to fly to New Orleans and film for The
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Bachelor next week, and I was like, so and so
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that was what happened. We flew to New Orleans from
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the Northwest and in the middle of tour, which was crazy,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and it was an awesome.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Experience because everybody.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Behind the scenes in Bachelor World, the production team and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: everybody like they everybody was so incredibly nice. And I've
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: got to imagine, I've never been the contestant, but even
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: just observing what we observed over the course of that
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: day filming, things can change so quickly. You know, you're
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: obviously dealing with real people in real circumstances, real time,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: real emotions, real feelings. At the drop of the hat,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: somebody can completely change their minds. Somebody can you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: go through something emotional, you know, whatever is. And so,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: as a person who's always watched the show, I loved
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: being able to see a glimpse behind the scenes in
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that way, and everybody production wized was so incredibly nice,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and it was really lovely to be able to share
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: this song that I've written, which is just genuinely about
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: finding your own inspiration, being okay with being who you are,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and being willing and comfortable to share that with the world.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to share a.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Message like that through songs in that kind of a space.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: That's so cool.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: So okay, that makes me think I love that you
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: were a fan beforehand. I'm like, oh, my wheels are
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: turning now. And so I'm like, Okay, it sounds like
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: what you saw, because I I don't know if you
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: still watch it, but I was on the show a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: few years ago, and the number one question people ask
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: me is is it real?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Like is it scripted?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Did they tell you what to say? And so you
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: being a fan getting to see behind the scenes and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: then hearing your perception of it is so it's actually
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: really cool to hear that you felt like it was very.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's real.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It really is real people in real emotions. So I'm
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: guessing I was. My one of my questions was going
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to be do you feel like you believe more in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: reality TV now or less versus after what you see?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: What you saw, I guess, yeah, it sounds like you.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Believe in it or it just seemed real to you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I think the thing about reality TV is that whether
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it's you know, something like The Bachelor or something like
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a TV show where you're literally watching people's lives, like
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: keeping up with the Kardashian.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Whatever it is.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: In from the viewer's perspective, I think what can get
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: hard is that I think, especially like one of the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: things I feel as a consumer of the Bachelor franchise,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you hear a lot from especially girls who just go
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: through difficult things that then air at long after the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: fact and they've been edited and all that kind of stuff,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and they have to compress hours and hours and hours
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of footage and content into one hour each week. Like
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that's a challenge in and of itself, and so of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: course all of these little moments I think that can
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: or would help the viewer understand the realness of it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a lot more. That gets edited out a lot of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the time because they have to make choices of Okay,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: well we can only keep this amount for this episode
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: because we've got to get from this plot line to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: this plot line.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Whatever that is. And so all of those like the blooper.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Moment it happens yeah at the women tell all or
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the men tell or.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Whatever that is. They those kinds of moments. I think if.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That was included more often throughout the whole each each season.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I think I would in theory help the consumer, yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: just to.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Kind of be like, okay, yeah this, these are here
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of these real moments. But again, it's like it's hard
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: for production I think probably to have to make those
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: decisions otherwise it would turn into.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: A totally different show. Probably.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I am with you completely on that and obviously on
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: this podcast, so often we're like singing the praise of
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the show because we're like it, you know, it did
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: this for my career. It was the most fun experience,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: or my wife was a fan, or like people say
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that most cool things and.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: It's such a positive thing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: But this is one thing where I'm like, Bachelor producers,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: if you're listening, like take this. This is a consumer
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: of the show who was on the show witness thing
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and like has really good feedback. Because that's always been
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: one of my things too where I'm like, I feel
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: like there's sometimes an agenda and I totally get it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: It's a produced show, so there has to be storylines,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: there have to be things that move the storylines along,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and so things get cut. But it was so wild
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: watching back the season I was on and being like
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: wait a second, Like there's so many personalities amongst the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: women that were just not highlighted, but they were such
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: a big part of my experience in the house, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: it gives you like empathy for them because when I
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: was seeing things happen in real time and then you
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: knew the whole context context, and you have like, you know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: empathy for that person. And then as a viewer, you
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: see a villain and you're like, oh, they're the worst
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: person in the world. But really, you know, everyone's a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: bit of a villain, you know, like everyone's got like
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: has their moments of weakness or whatever. That's really interesting
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that I think if the producers ever listen to this,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: then that's a really good tidbit of just like, you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: let more stuff stay in, like the real real stuff.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I also wonder, you know, I also just wonder.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what your experience for anyone who's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: got to really put themselves out there to be on
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the show, what the experience is like, just even from
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: what I observed in my short time filming, the.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Feeling like for me, I knew exactly what they were going.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: To show, because you know, we knew, we knew what
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: we were playing, We knew going into it that they
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: were going to use three songs total. They were going
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to use a performance of my song Shine, and then
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you know, because that was you know, we had to.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Agree upon all these things beforehand. Also, there's like music
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: licenses and clearances and all these kinds of things that
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: have to go into place, so there can't be any
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: surprises there. So we knew.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: This was the song they were going to use for
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the majority of the time that we were going to film,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that we were also going to do one other song
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: for extra pickup things that they needed, and then one
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: other selection to be played in backgrounds moments throughout the episode.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: We knew that going in. So because I had parameters,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I knew exactly what to expect. I didn't maybe know
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: exactly what the camera angle was going to be, but
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I knew, you know, what was going to go on.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Versus being.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: On the show for you know, the length of time
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that you all are there and you are not in
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the editing room you are and also there's all these
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you know, behind the scenes moments where people are having
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: their sort of confessional things, all of these moments where
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you are really.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Not involved in a good and also not in control
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: of what others are doing.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You're there having to exist as peacefully.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: As you can with all a similar objective.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It's got to be a pretty surreal experience in that way,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: knowing you can't control you know, your aspects of being
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a wild ride.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: And to your point of how things can change so quickly,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: did you feel like when you were there, did you
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: think the chemistry between Nick and Rachel, like, did you
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: think she was going to go all the way? Or
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and also did you get to see other women, Like
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: did you see him interact with any other women or
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: was it just the two of them on that date?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I just saw the two of them on that date,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and it was really funny because.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I remember thinking.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: That the main the main because also the like I
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: there was a period of time where because we have
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: brought in you know, earlier in the day, even before
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they were there, we had to set up all of
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: our gear, we had to sound check, we had to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: do you know, various things before anybody else showed up.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And then they started bringing in all of the extra
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: sort of bar patron kind of people that they were
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: bringing in for filming.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then when they when.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Nick arrived independently first, and he was there with us
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: for a little while, and then Rachel arrived, And what
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I remember thinking about their interaction was that they seemed
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: very comfortable with each other. They didn't seem like you
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: know how sometimes you can see new people who are
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: newer in a relationship and their.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Energy still feels like they're still trying to figure out
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: what their dynamic is. All they like each other, but
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: they're still trying to figure out.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: You know, they were not They weren't all over each other,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: but they were two people that, you know, you could
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: tell they really just very much clicked.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: And I don't know whether I was struck with the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: fact that I thought she was gonna go all the
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: way or not.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I do remember somehow she had I don't
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: know honestly because it's been a while.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: But.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: She had somehow found out from the producers who was
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: going to be playing.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: She know it was gonna be me, basically.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And so she had found my album and she had
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: been listening to it, and there were a couple other
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: songs on the album, and so when I had talked
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: with her, she was like talking to me about my music,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and for a good chunk of time after the episodes air,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: especially after Day aired on TV and everything, and you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: she would reach out to me.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: From time to time being like, I'm listening to this song.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: It's making me so happy, you know, Like she had
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: a we had.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: A genuine interaction about my own music, which I was
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: really surprised by. That was one of those things that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I was It was very flattering and very very cool
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of her to go out of her way to like
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: do her research in that sense.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: She was like, I wanted to know.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: She was like, I didn't want to just be I
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: didn't want to be caught off guard.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I wanted to know.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: What I was going to be listening to, because I
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: guess that they had she had found out or they
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: told them that live music was going to be some
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: kind of part of the date, and so she was like, well,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: who's coming.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I want to know.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I want to know what the music is. And so
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: they had cheered it with her, and I thought that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was really cool.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: That's really Nick was Nick.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I remember Nick and my guitarist Josh having a really
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: funny conversation where.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Josh is.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: He's just he's hilariously funny anyway, and He loves to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: just make light of every situation, and I think especially
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: like in a.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Situation where you're just now getting to know.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Literally meeting someone in an environment where like, Okay, here
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: we are with all these cameras on us, and now
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: we're gonna play.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: There's a song, and wish you the best on your relationship.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It's kind of a really funny dynamic of how to
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: meet somebody.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And so he was like, you know, asking him a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: typical question of like, do you ever get tired.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Of all those girls throwing themselves at you? That's funny.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I don't really remember what nixed response was, but I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: remember Josh asking him that question and Nick kind of
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: like looking at him, like, I can't really answer this
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: That is so funny.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like those are two really good, like behind
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the scenes examples of I mean, I've always known Nick
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to be quite funny and like like cheeky and charming
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: and just like has that kind of like lightness about him.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: And I don't know Rachel that well. I don't know
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: either of them that well, but I don't know Rachel
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: as well, but I've met her and I've heard things
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: about her, and I feel like what you just describe
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: sounds a lot like who she is, you know what
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, like really cares and like takes a particular
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: interest and wants to do her due diligence, and obviously
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: with her career has been so successful and so amazing.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: So it's like it's just it feels very on brand
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: for her to have like cared enough to want to
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: listen beforehand, and then even like following up and like
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: making you know, texting you at a later time and
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: being like, oh, I'm listening to this song. Like that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: just feels so genuine and sweet.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I love that it was. It was it was very genuine.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I spent a day with her filming,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: but you know it was interesting especially once everything aired
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and we saw what the what the rollout of events
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: were in that season, and then all also just watching
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Rachel's trajectory from kind of jump point start and then
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: everything she's you know, been through since.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: She's I think she's I remember.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Thinking, even in that day I spent with her, she
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: seemed like a very grounded person. She seemed very just
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: that you know, she just seems to know what her
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: purpose is and she that's what she follows, and.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's very cool.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: So after the show aired and your music was shared,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it would be shared with a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: different audience or maybe like a I don't know if
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor shared it with a larger audience. Did you
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: have any kind of like pivotal things that came from
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: or came into your career after being on the show,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Like did it jumpstart anything or did it open you
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: up to a broader demographic of people?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that it definitely brought several opportunities, a
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: couple of really interesting touring opportunities and other like feature opportunities,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and then also interesting just kind of seeing the difference
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: in the demographic because at that point I was like,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you know, really playing to like an alt rock crowd,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: which is not that people who listen to alt rock
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: do not listen, do not watch The Bachelor. I think
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: that there are lots more people that watch The Bachelor
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: that cross pollinate in too many different types of music.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: But I was really surprised with.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: The the out the level of the outreach in general,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: So like for the whole next ten days after The Bachelor,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: something as what seems maybe very insignificant to others that would.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Be very significant to artists, especially as you're kind of
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: just putting a new record out and those kinds of things.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It's like on iTunes, when you would pull up iTunes
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: if you were searching something like my name.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Lolo was like at the top of the daily searches
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: for ten whole days, and like that's.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Really that's a big moment where you get to see
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the immediate turnaround of just the power of the outreach
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and the I mean maybe in some ways also like
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the power of how a show can be put together
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: so that a song, like if they're choosing to feature
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a live artist, it's like myself or anyone else they
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: feature on the show, they capture it and they also
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: place it within the course of the episode in a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: way where it leaves a really big impact on people
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: enough so that then you want to turn around and immediately.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Like search for the thing that you've heard.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: And that is really powerful, you know, because I think
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: especially now in the way that artists in general are
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out way always try to figure out
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: new ways to reach their audience, and you know, social
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: media has given us obviously huge ability to reach so
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: many more people than we ever could in the past.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: But there's something about.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You know, millions of people watching you on TV at
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the same time that you know it leaves an enormous impact.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: And it was exciting to be able.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: To see how my song being featured in a special
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: moment in that show not only could reach so many people,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: but then there were other waves in which that song
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: was able to receive attention and be featured in other
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: spaces in other movies, TV opportunities like synk licensing, all
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the touring, all the things that happened.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I was. I ended up being on Rachel Ray as
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: a part of that and doing.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: A bunch of stuff with her down at south By
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Southwest on the back end of all of that, which
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: was really really cool, and it happened like very organically
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: out of the ship, out of the song being featured
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: on the show, and then of course you know of
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: action that happened after that, and then also the for
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that season they continued to use Shine and two of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: my other songs like throughout the rest of the scene
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: in as soundscapes and thong scapes, and so I was
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and I think I'm assuming because the music was well received,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: but that's that's the best case scenario, you know what
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I mean. Obviously, I'm the kind of person where I
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: go into everything I do and I hope for the best.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I don't assume it's all going to be a giant nightmare.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I assume, Okay, we're gonna do everything we can do
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and make it everything we can make it. But you
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: never really know what's going to happen. So to see
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the response that we got and then to have the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: ripple effects that happened, it was really awesome.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so awesome.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, before we wrap up, I want to ask
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: when you have on the horizon currently where can you
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: find you What are some cool projects you are working
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: on or planning.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: In the near future.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: So the thing I'm always working on is raising my toddler.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: At a three year old boy, and he is awesome.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: And so in amongst everything I do, I have my
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: silly little boy that goes with me and does everything
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: with me, and that's been wonderful.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: That's cool.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And so this year particularly has been a big year
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: of creating things so that next year this is the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: like input year, so that next year can be the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: output year kind of thing. So, and I'm working on
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of different things that are a little like
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: all each in their own little corner. But I'm making
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: a new album. I'm in the process of writing and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: recording all of that, and I'm hoping to be done.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: With all of the recording by October.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: And I am working on an independent musical film.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: It's a it's also a Western.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: It's basically like Oklahoma the Musical meets Killed Bill.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Sounds awesome.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: It's a really incredible script and everything it's being created,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: including the music and getting the cast together, all those
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: kinds of things so that next year we can go
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: film the project next summer. And that project is called
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: My Father's Daughter, And it's been really it's been a
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: really interesting project to work on because you follow this
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: girl who it's set in old Western time. You follow
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: this girl who she loses her family due to you know,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: like a gang kind of trying to take over her
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: family's farm, and then you follow her as she basically
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: seeks revenge for her family. But the the way that
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the story is written, you stay so in her corner
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and you so want to see her succeed. But the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: way that the story weaves and there's all these surprises
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that happen, and it's been really it's been a really
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: interesting and totally different like of all the songwriting I've
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: ever done or any kind of projects I've ever worked on.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: It's been something completely different than I've ever done in
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the past. And so.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: The story itself and the project itself is really fun
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: to work on.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But it's been really fun to do something that's just
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: completely different than anything I've tried in the past. And
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: then I'm also developing a little kids show, so it'll
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: be like a song and storytime kind of thing that
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I'm working on with one of my longtime friends and collaborators.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: And so that's the thing that we're developing. And again
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that's been a brand new situation because it's going to
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: be an animated project. So I've never worked on something
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: where we like work with an animator. That's been a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: really wild process, totally new. But all three things that
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: have been amazing to work on this year, and and
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: we'll all start to see the light of day starting
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: kind of at the beginning of next year. But I'm
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: gonna have a couple of little singles that'll be coming
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: out in the fall.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Its music videos and some other stuff like that.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: So everything for me can be found at lolo music
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: dot com and then if you follow me on socials,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: it's all at Lolo Music amazing.
