• 0:49
  Speaker 4: It was It was crazy because the song wasn't done
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: when I had posted it, so it was like there
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: was no song, you know, there was no song, and
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: so it was just a crazy thing to see so
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: many people resonate with this song that did not exist
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: in any way, shape or form, but it was.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: So it was so cool. I mean thinking about you.
• 1:08

• 1:11
  Speaker 4: was like viral also, and so I just was like, oh,

• 1:16
  Speaker 4: viral that it will go. Like I hadn't had anything
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: like that prior. So I think when Boston showed up,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, like this is a whole.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Other level that I never would have foreseen.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the crazy thing about social media is
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like it can completely change your life sort
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of overnight. So now when you're writing music, do you
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: feel like you have more pressure or are you more
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: nervous to be vulnerable when you write because now you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: know that the audience is there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: No, I think I always.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I mean I've been posting on social media for such
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: a long time, so I think even when there was
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: no audience and like you know, people weren't like consistently
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: showing up, I still was like always, you know, like
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: that was like the goal, like I wanted that. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: so I think now I'm just more like I'm just
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: excited to show people the music.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: I'm not like hesitant.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: You know, I love that because you put so many
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: acoustic versions on your like social medias, and it's like
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: yeah for us as the consumer, like it's so fun
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to be able to sing along and your song is
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: what I love and I'm gonna get to your whole
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: love story in a second. But like it has so
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: much passion in it, and I do love like the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: song something to Lose. The first time I heard that
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you Sello, I started crying
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: up because that song connects in my own relationship. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: then that makes it even better because that song is
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: with your boo am I not mistaken with that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: No, you're right, You're right. He's here, he's away from me.

  Speaker 5: I made the camera zoom. I know.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Oh man, I'm just saying, oh well, thank you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Sell it all the work, sell it all the work.

  Speaker 3: She's like, this is my moment.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Leaves me sh That song connects so well with the audience,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and I think it just makes it more even special
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: for us because you two are singing a song that
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you could connect over and then your audience connects over well,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Like that's so cool.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: It is so cool.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, also, I love that song because I think
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: it's one of my most, like, in my opinion, my
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: best writing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Like I feel like when I wrote that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Song, I was like, oh my god, I'll never write
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: another song as good as this in my opinion, Like,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I just I love it, and so I'm glad that
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: people also love it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's so cool that you guys are both artists.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Like I've seen a couple of videos of you guys
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: performing together, and I'm like, this is literally like the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: stuff that you read about in books.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: It's adorable.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And I'm wondering, since you guys are both artists, do
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you guys have parameters about what you're allowed to write about? Like,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: do you guys have to run it by each other first?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Do you guys get inspiration from each other and are
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: kind of like writing alongside each other?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: How does that play into your relationship?
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: I feel like no, there's definitely. I mean, the nice
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: thing is we.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Have a good separation of like we're not always talking
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: about music, we're not always writing together, like we have
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: a very normal relationship that's not like music based.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, this is the camera he's doing crazy.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I know, I'm getting a little emotion sick.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: I know, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, you're good.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but we it's nice, Like I feel
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: like we learn a lot from each other all the time,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Like we both have really different writing styles and we
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: both like write based on different things. Like all the times,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I think it's only like made my
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: writing better. I don't know if it made his writing better,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: but he's saying yes for sure, but I don't. I
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: don't think, you know, it's really had like a huge
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: impact in terms of anything. Like I think we just
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: both do our do our own thing and then get
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: to write together, which is just like fun.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: That is so cool because you guys both have a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: passion for something that's so similar, but you get to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: take it in your own directions, which how special is that?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And I know life has.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Obviously looked so crazy this year for you, what are
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you doing to just take a step back on the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: days that you're like, all right, I get a day
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to just relax and I get the day to just
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: not be on interviews like this and doing the radio
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: tours and getting on stage. What does your day relaxing
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: look like when it's like, all right, so chill out
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: for a second.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: I definitely hang out with my friends.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Like I feel like whenever I'm in LA or Chicago
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: or like wherever I am, I feel like my friends.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: That's like my ideal day.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I want to I want to be hanging
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: out with my friends, like doing literally nothing, because there's
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: so much time where there's no there's no time for nothing,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: you know, there's always a million things, and so.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I think that that's always nice. I also horseback ride
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: a lot.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I started doing that like nine months ago, and that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: been like huge for me in terms of just like
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: you know, cause I don't love yoga. So I'm like,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: this is my mindfulness because I never, like, i feel
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: like every time I've gone to the gym, I'm like
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: still thinking about all the things, you know, I'm still
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: thinking about like work and whatever. And I'm like, when
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: i'm actually like horseback riding, I'm not thinking about anything else.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: So that's good. That's been good for.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that horseback riding and horses in general,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: can be like weirdly therapeutics like they have like retreats
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: were like you're supposed to look into the horses eyes
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and they're supposed to like resonate with your soul like.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Have you they do they do.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I've felt that because I really like, since I started
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: doing it, I feel like not a different person, but
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I feel way more connected, Like I don't know, it's
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: it's definitely like it is therapeutic, very very.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: You need your escape, especially with your schedule. Like as
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going through your social media, I'm like, girl.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You are everywhere all over and so I mean, and you're.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Doing exactly what you love to do, and you sound
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: so good doing it, and that's I'm so happy people
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: get to see this. And I saw you spent the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: summer in Europe, so obviously that looked amazing. But what
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: were your like favorite foods in Europe? Because we talk
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: about traveling all the time.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Oh my favorite foods?
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: I don't really we it was we didn't have that
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: many days off. It was very like go go go
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: when we were there.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: What did we eat? What did we eat? I'm looking
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: at Tracy, who who is with me? What did we eat?
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: What was what was a good food. I'm trying to think,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: like we didn't eat anything. I don't know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: There was an olive garden somewhere they were.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: In, like Reno, Nevada, Like I don't remember.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Oh maybe me and me and Vincent went out to
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: a restaurant one night in London and that was good.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: I don't remember.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: That was one of that was the crazy restaurant experience there.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: The waitress that we had at this restaurant was having
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: a really bad day. It was actually it was I
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: felt bad for her, but she was not vibing and
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: both the food was really good, but she was.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Having a horrible day.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: London does have good food.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Waited us. She hated us, she hated me Vincent, but
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: it was a great food.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: She just didn't know who you were yet, because I mean,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you've had you've had a really crazy like last couple
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of months. I mean, didn't you just perform at Madison
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Square Garden with Mumba Sons. You're about to make your
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: grand ole Opy Opry debut. What do you think you
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: are more nervous for? Were you more nervous going for
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden or do you have more nerves coming
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: up for the Grand Ole Opry.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I I think Grand Old Opry. I'm not gonna lie
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: makes me move. I mean I think obviously there was
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: the nice buffer of you know, I had sang with
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Mumford and Songs at Hyde Park, so they invited me
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: up like when I was in London, because that's where
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: we were, like, that's why we were really there was
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: for that festival, so kindly they had me come sing
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: with them there, which was in front of seventy five
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: thousand people, so it made Madison Square Garden actually feel
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: like kind of a walk in the park. I was like, okay,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I've already done this with you guys in front of
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: so many people. Like that was the most nervous I've
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: ever been in my life, was getting on.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Stage with them there.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: But obviously Madison Square Garden is Madison Square Garden and
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: it's like this iconic venue that I had never into.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: But I don't know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I think singing with them, like I felt really comfortable
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: and they're like very nice and warm, and I feel
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: really safe with them, So I felt okay about it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: But I think the Grand Old Opry, obviously, I feel
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the weight of all of the history and all the
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: amazing arts that have been there. So I'm like, I
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: just want to do a good job. I want to
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: good I think I'm more stressed for that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I feel it's gonna be fantastic. We already know. So
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it's like looking into the future. We know you're gonna
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: crush it. And one of the biggest things that's coming
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: up you have your debut album coming up?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Is that?
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Correct?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Yes? In like a week?
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, come on, Like, what are the nerves going into it?
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Come out in four days? Yeah, it's my album without
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: in four days.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: That has to be one of the coolest feelings because
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: you put so much time and energy for this.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: So what are we getting the feel for this album?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: What do you want your your fans, your listeners to
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: be able to say, this is how I walked into
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: this album.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Here's how I'm walking out. What are the emotions?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Ooh, I think I'm excited for this album because I
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: think there's actually a lot there's a lot of emotions.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Like it's really like the story of like it's like
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: looking at love from all different angles. Like there's a
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: breakup song in there. There's obviously songs about falling in
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: love and being in love and then there's also like,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: you know, a song about like an inspective song about
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: you know, dealing with like you know, life when it's
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: weird and feeling like you're not sure you know why you're.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Unhappy and you should be happy.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Like I think, it's just there's so many emotions in
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: this album, and so I'm excited for people to see
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: me from all angles because I think obviously, you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Boston is such a happy and such a love song,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: and so is Thinking about You, and so so I
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: think a lot of my songs are that, and I'm
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: excited for there to be like a bigger ray of emotions.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel like for songwriting for a lot
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of artists, it's so therapeutic and it brings up things
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that you wouldn't have thought on the surface of your mind,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: like oh I really felt that way about love, or
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that I had learned that from that experience.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: What have you learned about love from writing for this album?
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I mean everything, because I think all these songs came
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: in a time where I was obviously falling in love
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: and also in a way that I hadn't ever felt
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: love before.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Start looking at me, looking.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: At me, but I you know, it was when all
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: that was happening. Is I think all of these songs
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: are like such a you know, like a they're like
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: an over a bird's eye, you into like what that
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: process was for me in real time. But then also
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: like being the person that I am, where I feel
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: like I've been so hesitant to fall in love and
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: so reserved to it as a whole. I think it's
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: it's like it's nice to see because it feels like
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: it's like coming. It's like a story, you know, it
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: feels like you're getting a full view of it. So
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: for me, I feel like I just learned, like, you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: what I'm like in that way, Like I think a
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: lot of these songs just showed me a lot more
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: about my character and like what I'm like when I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: in love, because I hadn't really been, you know. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, I'm like really gushing over
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: this person and wow, I didn't know I was like that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Gosh, And I love that because you do feel it
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in your music, like you put it out there and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: we feel it as if you truly.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Mean it, because, like you said on the album.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: You really do this is your story do we get
