  Speaker 1: Where are you from? Where did you hail from? Where
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: were you? What was your hometown?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So I grew up in a small town called Louisville, Illinois.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yep.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: It's got like a thousand people in it. Yeah. Super
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: small town.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Do you go back there ever?
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah? It's one of my safe places, you know?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I go back home. I bought my mom a house
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: back there.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Because growing up, you know, we didn't have anything.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You know, like.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Well, when did you know you had the gift? Yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Because I think what I love about the story is
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you come from nothing and now here you are traveling
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the world playing sold-out shows.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's insane.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It's like a legitimately ragged riches story, right? But how
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: did you find that path? How did you get out
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of the town?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: So.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I was into lifted trucks. Yeah. Like lifting up trucks,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: like jacking up trucks.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Like when you say lifting, do you mean stealing or
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: do you mean like jacking them up? Oh, and like springs,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: like putting on new suspension.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: So like I was into that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And on TikTok, there's this side of TikTok that's like
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: just awesome trucks that people build.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Just so you know, there's a side of everything on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: TikTok that unless you're in that side, you never know
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it exists.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because when I talk to people about this, they're like,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: But so there's this like side of TikTok where it's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: all lifted trucks and all these people, they become friends.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: And that's what I, I became friends with so many
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: people through my truck that I'd built and put on TikTok.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Okay. And that's how I started social media. Okay.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: So I started social media with my truck and I
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: started going around to truck shows.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And it's like these shows where you just, everybody friends.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Takes their truck. Yep. And they show their truck and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: everyone goes, wow, your dude, your truck's really good.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: But it's also like more like you really make friends because-
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: you're like spending three, four days with these people at
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the show and you've talked to them online.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And so I started doing that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And these friends that I met from a couple of
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: towns over that also had trucks, we were sitting around
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: a bonfire one night and, um, my buddy Timmy, he
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: just starts playing the guitar and I start singing the
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: song he's playing. And I like closing my eyes, just
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: like singing, hanging out. And then I, when I opened them,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: everybody was like.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Whoa, dude, like, Wait, you didn't know you, you didn't
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: know you.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Oh no. Okay. Sorry. Preface.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I never sang in my life. I never tried to sing.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I never tried to write songs. I didn't know how
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to play guitar. I played guitar when I was like eight,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: like electric, but then I just, I sold it for
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a pair of Jordans, but good choice. Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I, I, um, I, I, yeah, no musical background.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I just, I loved music.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I listened to music 24 seven, you know, but, uh,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: and I would like sing in the truck, like with

  Speaker 3: they were like serious they're like dude oh my gosh
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: like it was like i was like okay So then
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I secretively started trying to write songs by myself. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: then I met this guy from my hometown called Gavin.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: His name is Gavin Lucas. And we started hanging out,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: just chilling in my grandpa's garage. And one night we
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: got together and he was like, dude, we should try
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: to write a real song. Just start from scratch. He
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: had been writing songs for a long time, but he
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: had also not told a lot of people about it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: He was just like super like, you know, in this notebook. So,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and then we wrote my first song that night, not
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: knowing that I was trying to write a song either.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: If you've never written a song before, you don't know
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: what you do.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I have no idea what's going on, you know?
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: So I still don't, I still have no idea what's
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: going on, but we, we filmed what we had so
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: far on this toolbox. And then it's the first time
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I ever heard my voice on a video that like
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: through my truck speakers when I was listening back.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: To it on the way home.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: So I called, I called Gavin. I was like, Hey man,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: you care if I, uh, put this song on TikTok? Like,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: this is a sick song, dude. And like, I think
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: it sounds awesome. And everybody's been saying I can sing
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: and I'm just going to do it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Like, what's the word? What's, what's going to happen?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You know, like it doesn't sound that bad. Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: So I put it up at like 2 AM or whatever,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: 3 AM. And I woke up at like seven and I,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: it was like viral and had like, like, you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: over a million views.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And that was like crazy. I was like, Oh my gosh. Like, like,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Holy crap.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: So I just called my boss and I was just like, dude, Hey,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I quit. Like I'm, I'm, I'm going to be a
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: country singer.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'm doing it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And that's all that one video. That's it. And I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: just started figuring it out from there.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Honestly, that is the biggest, uh, lesson in just like
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: believing in and backing in yourself, even though, cause you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gotta have, you gotta have, and you would agree now
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: looking back on it, You got to have like the whole,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you got to back yourself even when you don't know what,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the delusion of not knowing what you're doing. Because I
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: suppose if you knew what you knew now, you were like,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that could have gone so badly. It is such a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: fluke that I'm even here now telling that story.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: No, it's like, I was sitting there and I was like, dude,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I hate this job anyways. So I'm like, what's going
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to happen? Like, oh, I still hate my job and
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: just go get it back.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just going to do it. And
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: that's kind of been the motto for, That is insane.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Since that day, like going in with like, you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: when I wrote a song called where it ends, when
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I wrote that song, I was sitting outside in this
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: parking lot waiting to go in because I was nervous
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: because there's new people in the room. I'd never wrote
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: with these guys before. And when I went into the room,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I was, I was sitting there. I was like, you
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: just got to go in because you never know. Like
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: God has put you here for a reason. Just, just go,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: you know? So I went in and we wrote where
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: it ends in 15 minutes. Damn. And then like Stella Lefty,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: it's like, just go, go, go. Work as hard as
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you can. Put everything that you got into what you're
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: doing right now. And just like, Just trust.

  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: We went really deep here. Yeah. What are we? Can
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: we clear the rest of his afternoon? We've got more
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to unpick here.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: If we're going to keep it on the surface, why
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: are we here?

• 13:25
  Speaker 2: We've got to dive deep.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: No, we absolutely do.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Let's get the real facts.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Let's go with the real facts. Collaboration-wise, you are no
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: stranger to them. do you enjoy musically collaborating with a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: bunch of different artists? Because like the list isn't like long.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Our own, the Kid LAROI, the Jonas Brothers, Luke Combs.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Was there a Diplo one in there? There was a Diplo,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: because I think I saw you at the iHeart Festival
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in Vegas last year. Yeah, you were always collabing with someone.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's my favorite way to make music, honestly. Yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: ever since, you know, collabing with the Jonas Brothers is
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: really what, it made me like excited to do more
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: collaborations because they treated me like so nice.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Like they were so nice.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: And so like the perfect way to learn how to
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: collaborate was like, they really, you know, showed me that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: So then, uh, I got the opportunity with Kid Leroy.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I got the opportunity. We were just hanging out, and
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: he liked this song that I played him.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: And he was like, dude, I want to get on that.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, all right, sick.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Because obviously musicians are all from different walks. You're all
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: from different walks of life, right? Do you sometimes, when
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you meet someone musically to collaborate with, do you go,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I ain't got nothing in common with you? I'm finding
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: it real hard to chat to you. Or you're very giving,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: so you just fill the room.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, I just love everybody. And there's... There's not
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: a person in the world that I'm like, I don't
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: like this person. I like everybody. And I love everybody.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: So I'm just like, yeah, I'll collaborate. Well, if you're
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: mean to me, don't be mean to me.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: No, don't be mean.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I've never had that happen. No one who would be
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: mean to you.

• 14:58
  Speaker 2: As long as you treat me nice and.
