WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:00.840 Behind the scenes. 2 00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:08.400 Man, I would say definitely starting back right before COVID, 3 00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:10.880 just everything was getting ready to take off, and then 4 00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:14.039 once COVID happened, you know, everything shut down. The kind 5 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.160 of the world got put on pause for a second 6 00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.839 and had to, you know, figure out, Okay, how am 7 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:20.719 I going to make my income since I can't perform 8 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.239 do shows, and I just had to be creative. So 9 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.879 I really started recording a lot of different songs and 10 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.440 just started doing some live streaming performances. 11 00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.119 But this isn't something that you weren't not doing prior 12 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.799 to do you just had more time to do it, 13 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.119 or did you like refocus what your music was like 14 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:40.560 a rebrand exactly? 15 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.840 It was more of a rebrand. I wanted to see 16 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.039 really where I wanted to take my music. Like sonically, 17 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:49.479 I was really kind of more focused on more of 18 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.200 the influencer side than the artist LJ side. So I said, 19 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:54.960 you know what, I got to get back to my 20 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.560 main back and what I really do because a lot 21 00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.399 of people were starting to get confused and thought I 22 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.359 was just bang energy influencer. So I said, you know what, 23 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.120 let me get back into what I usually do, so 24 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.280 they really know that's not all that I do. Yeah, 25 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.319 and I actually just wrapped up my EP which will 26 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.000 be dropping towards the fall, and this Love six record, 27 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:14.439 which was crazy. 28 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:15.680 I heard it this morning. 29 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.000 I like it. You like I do? 30 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:17.640 I do. 31 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:19.560 I appreciate that. I appreciate that. 32 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.879 So we've actually been sitting on that song for a 33 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.760 little over a year and a half. I'm all about 34 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.640 timing and energy and you know, putting things out to 35 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.560 the universe. So right when the beginning of this year started, 36 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.519 I was talking on my team, I'm like, you know what, 37 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.480 let's let's hit him with this record and kind of 38 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.920 ease them into you know, the EP and everything else 39 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.519 that we've got going on. As soon as we released it, 40 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.120 the first day, it got over fifty thousand streams on Spotify, 41 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.040 and then from there I started getting calls to come 42 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.719 to different high schools and different venues for appearances and shows. 43 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.480 And now I'm getting ready to go on a big 44 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.439 tour with a Gucci Man's Artist's Enchantment starting May seventh 45 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:02.000 in Atlanta. 46 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.159 That's amazing.

But it was, 320 00:13:58.399 --> 00:13:59.840 you know, the ode of things where it's like at 321 00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.200 the point, it was like I can't play with these guys. 322 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:03.720 I can't you know, I can't keep up with that 323 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.399 like kind of thing because I don't want to get hurt. 324 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.360 They're not girls that are really playing like that, you 325 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.720 know what I mean.
