8
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.479
Hi there, Welcome to the Sounds of Gold. Thank you

9
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.359
so much for being here. I'm so glad you are here,

10
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.799
and I am so excited for today's show. If you're

11
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:03.799
just tuning in for the first time, or if you've

12
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.079
been here before, welcome back, and welcome to those of

13
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.079
you that are new tuning in. My focus is on music, musicians,

14
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:18.920
music venues, music teachers, and music schools. I am airin here.

15
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.480
My studio is actually my music studio here at home

16
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.280
in Florida. And wherever you're tuning in from, I hope

17
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.760
you're staying safe and warm. I know we've had some

18
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:35.200
cult weather lately, so wherever you are, again, wishing you

19
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.719
to be safe and warm. With that being said, I

20
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:46.200
want to tap into Oh gosh, there's today's show. I'm

21
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.840
just I don't even know where to begin, but I

22
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:53.359
want to tap into music and music venues and what

23
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.000
you kind of expect when you go to a music

24
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.959
venue if you're a musician, right, you set up a

25
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.680
time and a place to perhaps play, and you show

26
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.280
up either as a soloist or as a band, and

27
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.759
you have your audience and new audiences and it's a

28
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:19.680
good time. And there is also another way to experience

29
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:25.000
music at music venues, and that is I've experienced a

30
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.919
little bit, not so much, but not as much as

31
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:32.199
my yes today. But there is the special I guess,

32
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:39.919
department of music that's shared, and it's special because there's

33
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.560
so much to it. And it's called being.

34
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.039
A DJ, and not only being a DJ, but being

35
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:50.400
a producer, being a director, being someone that doesn't necessarily

36
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.080
come with an instrument per se, but knows.

37
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.759
How to take sound and mix it right. So it's

38
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.719
almost like taking a palace the colors and knowing how

39
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:07.759
to blend them together to create a beautiful canvas that's

40
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.479
enjoyed by by the public and by the audience, and

41
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:17.680
also that's wanted, that's that's invited. And so my special

42
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.319
guest today is an entertainer who literally, I kid you not.

43
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.840
Just get off the plane from Montreal, Canada to be

44
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.960
with us here today, and I would love to introduce

45
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.960
you to my friend Delo. Delo, Are you backstage with us?

46
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.719
There? You are? Hello? How are you guys doing.

47
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.280
We have listeners from all over the world, and we

48
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:47.439
have beginner musicians, we have advanced musicians. We have all

49
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.599
different talents tuning in now my block of the woods

50
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.520
of being a musician, right I play piano and I

51
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.080
kind of have an idea of where I can go

52
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.680
with it, what I can do with it. But you

53
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:07.960
have the special knack of blending melodies and music together.

54
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.159
And you're like above, way above the charts right now.

55
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.840
And there's so many questions I have for you. But

56
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.079
to get us started off, tell us a little bit

57
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.160
about what's been your journey in music and what's got

58
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.439
you to where you are now, because you are just

59
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.519
you're exploding. I mean, you're all over the place in

60
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:29.160
a great way.

61
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.120
Yeah. So I got started. I was inspired by my

62
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.040
friends and I would go to these events and I'd

63
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.079
see these DJs, and I'd hear these songs and producers

64
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.360
and what they make, and you know, I just really

65
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.160
thought to myself, I could do that too. You know,

66
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.759
I have a computer. I have the ability to do that. So,

67
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.160
you know, every day for a couple of a couple

68
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:59.240
of years, I just DJ produced. I've gotten lessons, but

69
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:05.160
I mainly self taught. Okay, all from home and yeah, no,

70
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.199
I mean, it's just been a very big journey, especially

71
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.959
as of recently with my numbers just going up and

72
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.079
all the support I've been getting from around the world.

73
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.079
That's awesome. So tell our listeners a little bit more

74
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.519
about how they could find you as far as listening

75
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:26.240
to some of your music, Like Instagram you have a

76
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.040
page and where else could listeners find you?

77
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.319
Yeah, you guys could also find me SoundCloud, where I'm

78
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.439
really active on and where I get most of my

79
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:43.120
fan base from. I'm also on YouTube. I have Spotify

80
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.759
and Apple Music, but not all of my songs are

81
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:52.199
up to those platforms besides SoundCloud.

82
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.600
In finding you, when I when I would look you

83
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.639
up D Low, right, there's there's so many different quote

84
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.279
unquote d LO. You spell it lowercase D capital L

85
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.399
capital capital O. And then do you have is it

86
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.000
D Low entertainment or just lowercase D capital L capital

87
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.759
O just that and on soundclass. Now, now, I watched

88
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.959
some of your stuff this morning, and you have this

89
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:26.480
incredible knack for expressing your music digitally. And I don't know,

90
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.560
I we're not prepared for this, but to play something

91
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.639
or to to give an idea of what you play like.

92
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.160
You just came from Montreal, right so, and and you

93
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.959
play in Miami, you play in I know Steve told me,

94
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.439
play up in Georgia, you play wherever you're called to Texas.

95
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.279
What kind of venues do you play out and what

96
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.199
is your theme per se?

97
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.680
Uh, the kind of venues I typically play out, It'll

98
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.560
be just typically sometimes it's kind of like a bar

99
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.000
with the stage and whatnot. It would be like a

100
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.639
pretty pretty decent sized venue. And then there's crazy venues

101
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.120
that I've played at where it's like almost an amphitheater

102
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.839
and it's just like mind blowing to even be behind

103
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.360
cdj's Like, it's just it's just crazy sometimes.

104
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:26.160
And then you have you mentioned rhythm, right, so, R

105
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.920
I D D I AM I AM, which is different

106
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.360
than rhythm. So for our listeners that are not familiar

107
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.079
with the rhythm, can you please tell us a little

108
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.000
bit more about the meaning or the approach or the

109
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.680
backstory behind using that terminology over rhythm as we know

110
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.240
it in I guess English language.

111
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:54.720
So rhythm is actually a subgenre of dubs, and dubstep

112
00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:00.839
is electronic music, okay, And it originated in Jamaica from

113
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.600
you know, reggae and all that, but people from the

114
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.199
UK and all around the world designed to sound that

115
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.279
just sounded so different and it just consisted more of

116
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.600
a of a one two three kind of melody and

117
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.920
it's very simplistic but high energy. And yeah, it's just

118
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.920
a subgenre of dumb stup. I love electronic music. I

119
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.800
just really do. Just sounds that you can create and

120
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.879
it's just like you're really in control of whatever you're

121
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.320
trying to do. You could do a piano on it,

122
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.080
you could do violin, you could really master anything. Obviously

123
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.000
not in real life but through the software. But you know,

124
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.639
it still makes some pretty cool stuff and people love

125
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:52.960
it and you meet a lot of people.

126
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.200
So I have some specific questions, but before I get

127
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.200
to those questions, I'm sure you have. Well you're on

128
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:03.480
your phone right now, correct, Yeah, so sort of do

129
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.039
you have something recent that you played or can I

130
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.440
pull something up on Instagram for our listeners to hear

131
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.039
something is that? Okay?

132
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:19.240
Oh yeah, and I just recently posted a reel of

133
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.399
me djaying for the event that I went to in

134
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:24.759
Montreal to promote it.

135
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.200
And Okay, well, while I'm looking this up, so I

136
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.159
can share with our listeners a little a little something

137
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.519
of what you you do for our listeners that are

138
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.240
just getting into this or that have been in it

139
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.159
for a while but still don't have the knack of

140
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.000
knowing how to go about getting out there, getting attention

141
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.919
and booking places. What's your you have a knack for this?

142
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.240
Can can you share some of your recipes, some of

143
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.759
your secrets.

144
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.320
For getting booked, for getting.

145
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:55.240
Booked, for forgetting attention, for getting out there. Yeah, I

146
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.639
mean it's huge. It's not easy to do that.

147
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.039
Got to support your local events. Go to every single

148
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:06.720
local event, happen with the promoters and meet everybody, and

149
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.440
don't be shy to say your name and get them

150
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.879
to know what you're trying to do. Because if you're

151
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.960
going to support people, then generally they're going to support

152
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.759
you back. And that's really all you need.

153
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.559
Okay, awesome, awesome, all right, So I pulled you up

154
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.440
on Instagram and I have you dl W a v

155
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.919
wave for those that are listening, and that there are

156
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.879
some of us watching, there are more listeners, I think,

157
00:10:35.240 --> 00:11:02.720
So let's see if I can find something. Now. This

158
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.039
was this just in Montreal this past weekend.

159
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.759
Nah, that was actually in December at this very big

160
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.840
venue in Fort Lauderdale called Chemistry Nightclub.

161
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:18.399
So these are so I understand our listeners understand. So

162
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.799
these are places that you've gone to, like as an

163
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:25.399
audience person, and then you make connections and you you

164
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.639
get yourself involved in performing.

165
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.519
That's how you do it. I've always wanted to play

166
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.799
that venue, at that Chemistry venue. That was like that

167
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:37.360
was one of my biggest accomplishments as a DJ and

168
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:38.840
producer per se and.

169
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.120
Then places out of state. I mean, is it just

170
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.360
about what's the secret? Is it about just making connections

171
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.639
with local vans?

172
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.000
Instagram? Instagram is the key everybody, the promoters to get

173
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:57.200
the general audience. Mainly people use Instagram, Facebook and whatnot,

174
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.360
but they're the same app. But what's it called. Everybody's

175
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.759
on it. Everybody's trying to find new jays and producers

176
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.639
and trying to find new sounds and all you have

177
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.039
to do is support them. Even if you even go

178
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.840
to one of their shows and meet up with them

179
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.240
in real life, makes a big difference in the shows

180
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:15.320
that you really want it more.

181
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.759
Right. So you had mentioned also that you you have

182
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:26.480
some kind of program at home, yeah, that that you

183
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.799
work with as far as and and how does that

184
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:34.080
support you when you're out at a venue. I don't understand, right,

185
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.600
So there's a lot of me out there that does

186
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:40.879
not understand the producing of of the DJA work that

187
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:45.679
you do. So if I was like to work with you, right,

188
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.879
what what would be? What would I need to know?

189
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.879
What would I need to learn to be able to

190
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.440
to mix? To mix?

191
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:01.000
Yeah, it's really I mean, like.

192
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.320
Like j just like what you do because I don't.

193
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.120
I could do a lot of things, but I don't

194
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:05.960
have a clue. If you ask me to DJ, I'd

195
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.120
be like, yeah, you're the guy, I give him your number.

196
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.480
But I would if I'm going to be honest. Yeah,

197
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:19.919
Like DJing in itself is pretty simplistic. If you were to,

198
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.879
if I were to show you for at least two hours,

199
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:25.840
you would be able to You would be able to

200
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:29.559
land a couple, you know. But it's all it's mainly

201
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:35.120
about track selection, mainly about playing songs that nobody's heard,

202
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.879
different remixes, and in the rhythm scene we call them

203
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.759
dub plates. So an art and artists will sell a

204
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.720
song of an exclusive song to a certain amount of

205
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.720
people and that's it, you know. So and when you

206
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.559
hear those songs, you know that, you know, like they're

207
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.360
tapped in or that's a rare song and that and

208
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:57.879
people just lose their minds, you.

209
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:03.879
Know, right, that's awesome when you Okay, so you're just

210
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.360
coming back from Montreal, like we know, and then other

211
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.320
states you've had venues and that you've been to, you've

212
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:15.000
been down to the chemistry for each venue. Do you

213
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.000
have a different approach of a setup or do you

214
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.039
kind of use the same genre or it depends on

215
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.679
the vibe you pick up or do you kind of

216
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.159
asking a few questions at once.

217
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.440
It kind of depends on the vibe. But I'm because

218
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.360
you know, I'm mainly dubstep ridom. If I'm getting booked,

219
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.639
then I'm going to play I'm going to play dub

220
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.879
steps in rhythm. You know, I'm very I like to

221
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:43.720
be very like, very straightforward with that when it comes

222
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.000
to promoters trying to book me for another genre, which

223
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.399
I could do another genre. I've done house music, I've

224
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:56.039
done techno, I've done like a whole industrial But I mean,

225
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.320
I really just love doup step and rhythm. I just

226
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.759
love it. The crowd and the energy, different crowd everywhere

227
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.919
you go, but it's ultimately the same energy all in

228
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.559
all awesome.

229
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.919
So when you're depending on where you're called to play, well,

230
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.120
first before I ask ask that question, you're probably one

231
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.159
of the youngest performers that I know. And congratulations to

232
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:29.080
your success. I mean it's huge and you have probably

233
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:34.519
well over several thousand followers. Now is it on SoundCloud YouTube?

234
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.519
Yeah? On SoundCloud, I'm about to hit two thousand followers.

235
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.440
Nice and for people to tap into SoundCloud. What is

236
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.759
the name you go by or is it just Delo?

237
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.440
It's just honestly on SoundCloud. If you just look at Dela,

238
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.360
I'm like one of the first people to pop up.

239
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.519
Oh that's awesome, pretty cool.

240
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:53.559
Cool.

241
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.399
Where do you see yourself going with this? Do you

242
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.360
is it something that you're like, have you hit like, say,

243
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.000
have you hit your ceiling? Are you exactly where you

244
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:05.279
want to be? Or where do you see yourself going

245
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:05.600
with this.

246
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.879
I just at this point in my life, I'm just

247
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.559
I know, I'm still super young, and there's just a

248
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.240
lot of opportunities to go and I know this definitely

249
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.440
isn't a feeling. What happened. What has happened over the weekend.

250
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.519
I had a lot of crazy opportunities come up in Montreal,

251
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.639
and yeah, so it's kind of just the beginning.

252
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.639
And yeah, that's so exciting. And how old are you?

253
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:30.720
Twenty one?

254
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:34.000
That's awesome. That is so awesome. You have like your

255
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.360
whole life ahead of you, and what a way to

256
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.000
step it up and to start where you're at. There's

257
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.519
so much growth, I mean, being not doing the same

258
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.159
work you do, but being a little bit older and

259
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:51.799
being in the music world. I'm still constantly growing and

260
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.159
if I had gosh, I can't say if that's not fair,

261
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.240
but gosh, it's something you're as a musician. You're always

262
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.679
going to grow, You're always going to add more, You're

263
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.000
always going to flourish, You're always gonna I mean, you're

264
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.799
you're on a streak. That's you know. I think maybe

265
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:15.039
others might envy you because because it's not it's almost

266
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.519
like You're a gift you've been given from God above

267
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:23.000
or whoever people think of. But you're gifted and you're

268
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.400
just tapped into what you what your passion is, and

269
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:27.880
that's cut.

270
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.599
I appreciate it. Yeah, I mean, it's just considering what

271
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.880
I also do for my personal job, like work and all.

272
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:37.920
I try to balance it, but I make it work

273
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:43.680
and I have a routine, and yeah, it's really really it.

274
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.599
I'm still I'm still just starting. I have a lot

275
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.519
of music to put out, a lot of collaborations, more

276
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.880
people to meet, and more places to visit.

277
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.759
And what's awesome for our listeners out there. You mentioned

278
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.599
having your day job and for those out there that

279
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.359
are looking to get into the business. You know, you

280
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:06.720
just even for myself, you don't just wake up and

281
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.880
you're like, okay, here it is. It's all like I

282
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:12.240
got it all going, Like you have to put work

283
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.480
into it, like you have to take the steps. And

284
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.839
you still need to have some consistent income.

285
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.000
Yeah, oh yeah, definitely need the consistent income for sure.

286
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.519
So how many how many events do you have scheduled

287
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:28.880
a month right now?

288
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.960
As of right now, I'm playing a show what's it called.

289
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.200
I'm playing a show in my or in Hollywood, Florida

290
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.880
on Saturday. Okay, yeah, and I'm super excited about that,

291
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.519
like really excited about that. And then I'm also playing.

292
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.799
I was supposed to be playing in Texas again, but

293
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.559
something happened with the promoter and so I got scheduled.

294
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.200
But that's really it so far for this month. But

295
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.720
I know there's more opportunities coming. It's like I could

296
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.200
get I can get a text any second from a promoter.

297
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.880
Oh that's awesome. And like I mentioned if you know

298
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.200
a minute ago, it's as a musician. I don't want

299
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.319
to speak for you, but as a musician, like, if

300
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.079
you give me an opportunity to play, I would show

301
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.599
up and I get to play, and I would love it.

302
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:21.200
If you're going to talk about I would love it

303
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.000
even more. They don't you know the first the first

304
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:29.400
passion is getting to share my talent. So with you,

305
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.119
I would guess the same. It's not about we all

306
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.079
want to get paid, but but you it's a passion

307
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.680
that you're creating. Yeah.

308
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.599
I haven't really been doing it for the money, right,

309
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.079
I've really been doing it for the culture and just

310
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.000
to put put where I'm from on because I'm from

311
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.960
Broward County and there's not a lot of d M people,

312
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.960
big producers that come out of there. So I mean

313
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.680
there's a lot that come out of Florida, but definitely

314
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:00.680
not County.

315
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.880
Right now, I've seen some of your videos and you

316
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.200
have some others helping you. So do you have a

317
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.000
crew that works with you or are you more solo?

318
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.839
And I just happened to see a clip that people

319
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:13.240
are hanging with you.

320
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.200
No, I'm part of a collective called The Lowest Okay.

321
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.880
It consists of four people as of right now, and

322
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.359
we're based out of Miami. We throw shows, we promote shows,

323
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:32.119
we play shows, we do a lot. We also have

324
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.079
a record label that we're making and we're all going

325
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:38.480
to put a track out and yeah.

326
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:43.759
Awesome, awesome. SoundCloud is the way to contact you or

327
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:45.319
do you have a separate website.

328
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:51.119
I actually don't have a website, but SoundCloud, Instagram is

329
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:54.880
definitely the best way to get to get to get

330
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:55.240
at me.

331
00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:00.200
Okay, right And if you have for our listeners are

332
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.799
wanting to learn or that are wanting to do more

333
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:08.359
like what you do, what would be your what would

334
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:14.079
be your advice or your suggestion your inspiration for them.

335
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.839
Just to keep going, even if it doesn't sound good

336
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.559
the first couple of times. Just put it out, take

337
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.559
constructive criticism, keep going. It's all about if you could

338
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:25.880
take criticism. If you can't take criticism, you're not going

339
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:26.400
to get better.

340
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:31.160
That's a great, great piece of advice. I want to

341
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:34.920
go back to having a day job and working with

342
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:39.039
your schedule. Like you get a call today and they

343
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:41.799
want you to be back in Montreal next week or

344
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.000
back you know, over in Texas. How do you work

345
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.240
that out with work? And I'm asking because other people

346
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.319
work too, and other people I know have thought, oh

347
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.119
let me just give up the day job, but let's

348
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.039
not recommend it.

349
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:02.440
Yeah, no, so I usually I usually try to make

350
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.960
sure that it's at least two to four weeks in advance,

351
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.000
you know. And if I have to use my uncalled

352
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.599
like you know, whatever sick days, honestly like to chase

353
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.039
my dream, I'll use it. But like, obviously I have

354
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:20.160
a passion for what I do for my day job,

355
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.680
but I also have a pat I'm not gonna let

356
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:28.319
my day job stop me from finding my true happiness

357
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:28.799
per se.

358
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:35.119
Absolutely absolutely. Now do you do private events like like

359
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:37.960
home parties or is that Do you feel like your

360
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.079
vibe and your your what you give out is more

361
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.200
for like a thousand people or five hundred people instead

362
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.839
of like fifty It depends.

363
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:50.119
If I get booked for a house party, I'll do

364
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.640
a house party, you know, I'll do weddings, I'll do

365
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.400
whatever whatever the case is. But I feel like for

366
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.880
my vibe, for my genre, at least it's for a

367
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:00.240
bigger crowd for sure.

368
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:08.200
And since you've begun on this venture and getting out there,

369
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.400
what is the furthest place you've been and what has

370
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.359
been your favorite place you did? Mention Chemistry.

371
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.440
Yeah, so Montreal is definitely taking the.

372
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:23.920
Cake right now. For the farthest place, super sick Montreal

373
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:28.440
was amazing. The place is incredible. Is super cold, like

374
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:33.000
really cold, but you know, but my favorite place was

375
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.960
definitely a Chemistry nightclub because I've always wanted to play there.

376
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.960
I've been going there for years and seeing all the

377
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:45.200
big artists and yeah, that was definitely probably one of

378
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:47.079
the highlights of my career so far.

379
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.119
That's awesome. So I have I have a band question,

380
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.960
and the band question is, Okay, if there's a I'm

381
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.200
in a band. Let's say five people and want to

382
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.319
talk about money for a minute, and the venue pays

383
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.920
I'll say three hundred, and the five of us have

384
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.680
to split it. Does the same? Does that go true

385
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.880
with with you and your crew the Lowest? Yeah?

386
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.880
So if a promoter is gonna book the Lowest, they

387
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.839
could either book a certain member of the Lowest, but

388
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.400
if they want all four, they have to pay for all.

389
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:26.079
Of us individually. Okay, And we don't really charge that

390
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.559
much because, like I said, we don't really do it

391
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:31.440
for the money, but you know, we got to hold

392
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:34.519
ourselves to a higher you know, standard or whatnot.

393
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:38.720
Sure, So can you can you share with us any

394
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:45.119
behind the scenes work into the the album that you're

395
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:46.359
going that you're putting together?

396
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:50.440
Oh yeah, Uh, it's really a collection of songs I've

397
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.559
been just working on as of recently, and all of

398
00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:57.880
our all of the people in the collective are super

399
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:03.039
talented also at making producing. So I think it's I

400
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.160
think it's going to do good personally. I mean, we've

401
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.839
all The Lowest itself has been getting a lot of

402
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:13.039
support and it's just looking bright as of right now.

403
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:17.240
That's awesome. And then do you have a record label

404
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.400
name or this on something you're ready to disclose.

405
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.319
Yeah, at this moment, it's not.

406
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:27.559
Ready, right, right, you're not ready. I was trying. I

407
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:32.839
was trying. So Saturday night, you're playing in Hollywood? Are

408
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.759
you playing at the Chemistry or where? Can you share

409
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:37.839
with us where you're playing? If listeners out there are

410
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:39.559
going to be in that area, I want to listen

411
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:39.880
to you.

412
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:44.599
Yep, it's going to be at Spice Club in Hollywood, Hollywood, Florida.

413
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:50.079
It's called Spice Club. Spice Okay, super nice. You can

414
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:53.880
get nice food there, then good dreams and whatnot. Pretty

415
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.319
good place.

416
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:57.519
And is it a big I've never been, so is

417
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.319
it a big venue? Is it a restaurant? Is it

418
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:01.680
a dance?

419
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:03.960
It's like a restaurant.

420
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:09.160
It's a it's like a restaurant, bar lounge venue. So

421
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.200
I know it sounds crazy, but it has like a

422
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:16.680
really big bar that does like a U around and

423
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.720
then there's a there's a.

424
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.039
Stage and there's tables and everything.

425
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:22.519
So it's really nice and there's like a place that

426
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:24.200
you can sit and whatnot.

427
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:26.799
Awesome.

428
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.640
But I like that venue. We're close with the owners

429
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.799
there and as long as we hit a limit for

430
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:34.400
the drinks.

431
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:40.319
We're good. That's awesome. So other than the record label,

432
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:45.240
do you have like preparation for this weekend? Do you

433
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.599
re arrange what you're going to be playing or do

434
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:51.319
you already have something in mind for this upcoming show.

435
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.359
I used to have like a set list. I used

436
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.240
to prepare a set list because I feel like I

437
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.039
have so much sick and I kind of know, like

438
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.920
my what's on my USB. I feel like I could

439
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.480
like just freestyle it, you know, And I've been doing that.

440
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.359
I've been doing that for the last couple of months.

441
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:16.880
I feel like it's been making me better as a

442
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.680
and with song selection and just reading a room.

443
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.559
Oh, I love that, And that's that's true for most

444
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:27.519
of us. I'll speak for myself playing the energy that's

445
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:32.079
in the room, like feeling feeling what people are wanting

446
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:35.079
and playing for that. And I think there's a lot

447
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.240
of freedom in that being a musician. And you're not

448
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.880
limited with the set list, right because a lot of

449
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:44.519
us play from a set list, and then there are

450
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.720
a lot of us that have learned to be able

451
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.559
to mix it according.

452
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.480
To the room. Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm not perfect.

453
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:57.440
I've obviously when I used to play in a set list.

454
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.799
I've had some sets that didn't do good nor it

455
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:05.519
wasn't the vibe, and I at the time I felt

456
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:08.519
like I wasn't good enough to try to read the

457
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.319
vibe or whatnot, or I didn't have enough good enough

458
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.960
ex selection to read the room. But it all just

459
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:20.440
comes with time and and honestly, trial and error. Sound.

460
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:24.119
Yeah, that's true, And I don't think it matters how

461
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:29.039
many years we've been in the business. It's it's something

462
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.599
that always can be tweaked.

463
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:31.359
Yep.

464
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:35.559
It's something that that we're always growing with because energy shifts,

465
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:41.400
energy changes, and or sometimes I know, as a musician myself,

466
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:46.640
sometimes I'm just not feeling that today. I'm feeling today,

467
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.319
and I'm going to give what I got right.

468
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:53.119
I mean the same thing with producing, like trying to

469
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.759
make a song. One day, you feel like you can

470
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:58.039
make anything you want, you know, I feel like I

471
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:00.440
can make anything I want. In some days it's like

472
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:02.440
I don't even want to. I don't even want to

473
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:05.279
do it, you know, it just sounds so bad. But

474
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.039
it's all about as long as you just do it anyway,

475
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.160
you know, just try not to think of it too deep.

476
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.039
You know, it's as long as I think of it,

477
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.279
as as long as it's coming from you. Like, if

478
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:20.519
I'm going to put a song out, I feel like

479
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:23.640
people will like it because I put it out. You know,

480
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.880
I made it. It doesn't have to sound good. It's

481
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:28.880
just appreciating the art.

482
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:32.440
And the beauty. And I understand that so well. And

483
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:36.400
for the listeners out there, whether you're musicians or just

484
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:42.799
stepping into the space of playing, there is that oh gosh,

485
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:48.400
can I can I say not authenticity, but that the genuine,

486
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.079
the genuine heart of the passion.

487
00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:55.720
Authenticity. Yeah.

488
00:29:55.920 --> 00:30:00.200
Yeah, I mean we're playing from the space and uh,

489
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.680
that's just genuine and you can't name it, you can't

490
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.200
label it. You can. The best way I can say

491
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:07.559
it is you can just feel it.

492
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.440
Yep, just feeling it and what it's all about.

493
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.079
And I know I teach this, and I don't know

494
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:17.400
if you know. I'm also a music teacher. But as

495
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.400
a music teacher, a lot of times I teach my

496
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.920
students sometimes just close the book. You don't have to

497
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:26.599
always like be so formal and limited, but close the

498
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.279
book and as if I would give you a palette

499
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.920
of colors, a paintbrush and a canvas and just paint, right,

500
00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:38.039
because if you remember when we were kids, you know,

501
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.920
nobody like, here's a paintbrush, here's colors, here's paper. Like,

502
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:44.720
unless you know you're in school and there's a subject

503
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:46.799
that you're working on, nobody's going to tell you, like

504
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:49.039
how to paint a picture. You just paint.

505
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:50.640
You just paint.

506
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.039
And that's the beauty of being a musician. And that's

507
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.720
the beauty of what you do too, but you take

508
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.000
it to a whole nother level, which is amazing.

509
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:01.240
Appreciate.

510
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:07.079
Yeah, Yeah, definitely keep us posted on your upcoming stuff.

511
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.960
And and you know, I've loved the fact that you're

512
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:16.119
out there and you're doing what you love and to

513
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:18.880
our listeners out there, I mean, there's no limit on

514
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.160
your passion. Like if you're gonna have an interview this

515
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:27.160
morning with another musician, and it's like, don't limit yourself.

516
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:31.920
Just just let yourself free, let go of O. We're

517
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:33.720
thinking what you're creating.

518
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.400
Yeah, I've learned so far in my journey that the

519
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:42.920
biggest enemy is really yourself at times that it learns

520
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:45.079
with what you make and what you put out and

521
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.240
as long as you like what you're putting out nothing

522
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.480
else that other people say that that hold no value

523
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.599
in the scene should really matter. You know, if a

524
00:31:55.640 --> 00:32:00.680
bigger artist is giving you advice and critic constructives will

525
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:01.039
take that.

526
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:04.880
But other than that, just put out what you like.

527
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:09.920
Just be original, absolutely, And I also like to take

528
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.880
this analogy because again, no matter how old we are

529
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:16.160
or how many years we've been.

530
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:18.759
In the industry, we're always going to come up against

531
00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:20.960
some criticism. We're always going to come up against some

532
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:24.839
feedback that there's always somebody that might not love what

533
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.240
you do or or you know, there's a majority that do,

534
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:32.759
but there's always maybe that one person. And the best

535
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:35.559
way to deal with that kind of criticism and that

536
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:39.480
kind of I don't know if it feels like it

537
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:42.920
feels like a discouragement, but the best way to look

538
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.799
at it, at least the way I look at it,

539
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.079
is if we were to go into the ice cream

540
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:50.440
store and there's like Baskin Robbins, there's thirty one flavors.

541
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:55.599
Not everybody's going to have a favorite, same flavor, right right, So,

542
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:59.119
so in dealing with the criticism and dealing with feedback,

543
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:03.480
which does and always sit so nicely it'sas looking at

544
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:07.359
it differently and saying, hey, you know, my music is

545
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:11.319
for me personally. My music may not be everybody's favorite,

546
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:15.000
but that's okay. Maybe one day it will be or

547
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:19.519
or in some moment might be or not. And that

548
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:23.720
doesn't limit me to express who I am, express what

549
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:27.519
I know, and sometimes I don't even know. I just

550
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.839
create and it's it's just flows through me. And I

551
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:32.079
know you understand.

552
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:33.920
How I how I look at it.

553
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.279
Sometimes, if people aren't hating on me, I'm not doing

554
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.440
something I need. That's how I look at it. Right,

555
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:43.480
If people aren't hating on these you're not doing something.

556
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:46.960
Because people are gonna hate because they're jealous, because they

557
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:49.440
can't do it, or because they think you don't deserve it.

558
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:50.960
But as long as you know you put in the

559
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:55.559
work to deserve it, and people that support you know

560
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:58.799
that you deserve it, it doesn't even it doesn't even matter,

561
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:00.079
like holds.

562
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:03.200
No It's so true, and it goes back to authenticity

563
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.079
and know what you know and and you do what

564
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.760
you love and it yeah, it holds no.

565
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:11.800
Way, holds no way at all. It doesn't.

566
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:14.960
It doesn't bother me any Like I've had some people

567
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.800
ask me, oh, how do you just listen to that

568
00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:21.360
or like whatever. It's not about listening to it, it's

569
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:25.280
about appreciating. You don't have to like it to appreciate, right.

570
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:29.159
Right, And the fact that you know how to, like

571
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:33.800
I said earlier, blend it all and express yourself through

572
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:37.719
the different vibes of music or I don't I don't

573
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:39.480
know if you would call them vibes, but the different

574
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:42.960
types of music. You just like I said, you you've

575
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:48.000
your talent has exploded. Sorry, I can't talk. It's explooded

576
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:53.159
and continuing to explode because you're coming from a space

577
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:56.599
of just being real. This is who you are. Much

578
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:58.519
you got to give and you're giving it.

579
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:01.119
You're all that's all you can be. All you can't

580
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:02.519
be is real nowadays.

581
00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:06.920
That's so true. That's so true, and I think the

582
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:11.719
beauty in it, and not to sound all woo who

583
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:15.039
are funny, but the fact that you're stepping out of

584
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.559
what's at your comfort zone and you're like, this is

585
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:19.599
who I am, this is what I've got, this is

586
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:24.440
what I'm given. Like, that's vulnerable, that's not everybody knows

587
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:28.159
how to be comfortable with that vulnerability.

588
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.599
Right, Yeah, I've learned. I've definitely learned to embrace it.

589
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:34.239
I definitely learned to be proud of it because a

590
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:38.280
lot of people don't get the opportunity or have the

591
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:41.960
position that I could be in, and I just I am.

592
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:46.280
I am very thankful, even if I it's like, yeah,

593
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:50.199
it's so hard to explain because first doing these shows,

594
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:52.920
I was doing them for free. I was driving all

595
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.880
around Florida for free. But that's the way to do it.

596
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:57.880
You got to put yourself out there. You got to

597
00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:59.920
take the risk, bite the bullet, do whatever you want

598
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.559
to call it.

599
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:05.119
But yeah, and like you said, it's not about the money.

600
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:10.480
It's about expressing your passion and and being that being

601
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:12.639
that person to stand up and be like, this is

602
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.639
what I got, you know? Oh yeah, I wanted to

603
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:19.400
I wanted to see again for my listeners out there,

604
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:24.159
if you're watching this live, I'm using my phone because

605
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:26.679
I don't have another way to share with you Delos

606
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:29.159
music because he's on his phone right now. But I'm

607
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:57.880
just gonna pull up another another session. Reviewers, there's that.

608
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:01.199
But I just wanted I was gonna what's that that was?

609
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:03.800
That was in Orlando? That was a really fun show.

610
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.760
That was one of my most packed shows.

611
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.280
So how many people would you say you pack it

612
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:12.000
in a show? Let's say from the Orlando one.

613
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:16.840
So far, my most the most people I played for

614
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.039
was like a little over one thousand people.

615
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:24.480
Okay, that show in particular that you just showed was

616
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:25.440
there was.

617
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:29.519
Probably like seven hundred people there. It was pretty crazy.

618
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.280
That's awesome, that's awesome. I love I love what you're doing.

619

want to make, and keep putting music out.

630

Don't stop making music and always play og riddom.

631
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:25.719
Awesome, awesome, Well, thank you, Delo and uh if you're

632
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:29.320
just tuning in. Delo's literally got off the plane from

633
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:33.199
Montreal is in his car driving home and made time

634
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:36.760
to be on our show today and I'm just I'm

635
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.280
honored to have you and uh you have our support

636
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:43.480
and we will we will definitely be in touch.

637
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:46.320
Yes I will. We will talk soon. I appreciate you

638
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:47.360
so much for having me.

639
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:55.960
On absolutely so yeah, yeah, we will talk soon. Bye bye.

640
00:38:56.559 --> 00:39:00.800
That was DLO. He's on Instagram as well, lowercase D

641
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:05.920
capital L CAPITALO, dot wave wa V on Instagram and

642
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:11.119
that's how he's found. In addition to that, that was

643
00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:14.880
so exciting. I don't always get to interview DJs, and

644
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:17.079
it's such an honor to have had him on my

645
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:22.400
show today. And like different energy, different vibes, different venues,

646
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:25.760
I mean, there are so many different cultures. There's so

647
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:31.679
many different approaches to music that we love, music that

648
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:36.000
we like and being open to it all and like

649
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.000
he said, you know, you don't have to love it,

650
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:43.199
but you can appreciate it because it's not just it's

651
00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:47.679
not just a nothing sound. Somebody has a passion for

652
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:50.480
it like d LO and and takes the time to

653
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:55.280
create and put sound together in his genre, in the

654
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:59.159
rhythm as he called it. So thank you so much

655
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:01.679
for tuning in today. We have a few minutes left,

656
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:05.760
and I thought, it's been a while since, and I'm

657
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:08.880
going to change the rhythm right now because I thought

658
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:13.760
it would be fun for my listeners that often tune in.

659
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.159
It's been a while since I've got to play my

660
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:22.000
own genre of music. And again I'm stepping stepping it

661
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:24.480
up or stepping it back because it's a different vibe

662
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:29.320
than than rhythm is. And I thought maybe I could

663
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:32.320
just play piano for a few minutes today for you

664
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:36.119
and uh and then we could we could chat before

665
00:40:36.159 --> 00:41:02.760
I end. And yeah, so sit back and relax. S.

666
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:23.760
Thanks for tuning in today, and thank you so much

667
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:25.960
Dullo for making the time to be with us on

668
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:29.639
our show. I hope you enjoy just a couple of

669
00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:33.880
minutes of me playing for you. I've missed playing, and

670
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:37.360
that's just a snippet of what I play. I love

671
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:41.400
to just play for hours, and I look forward to

672
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.480
doing that again for many of my listeners. And I

673
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.400
think I'll do a surprise show one day and just

674
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:51.960
play for you. Other than that, besides that, I hope

675
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.239

00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:57.280
