Speaker 6: he's never as far as artist side goes, he's never
Speaker 6: like thinking about monetization or things he has to do
Speaker 6: to be robotic in this industry. He's genuinely just creating,
Speaker 6: really really really purely. It's really natural. He opens his
Speaker 6: mouth and like greatness just appears. But as a person,
Speaker 6: I think his ability to light every single person up
Speaker 6: around him is so genuine. I think everybody's favorite thing
Speaker 6: about him is that he can make everybody smile. He
Speaker 6: walks in the room and shifts the energy everywhere every
Speaker 6: room he steps into.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1: When you work with people and you're thinking about these collaborations,
Speaker 1: are you not only thinking about just getting that person
Speaker 1: in the studio, but what you can learn from them?
Speaker 5: At the same time A thousand percent when I work
Speaker 5: with people that I'm like, that I admire because usually
Speaker 5: I just work with like my friends, like even like
Speaker 5: with Kaylannie, like I write, I but the beginning of
Speaker 5: my career in writing and like doing stuff, I would
Speaker 5: just go to the studio with her and she would
Speaker 5: bring me and I would tell her like I want
Speaker 5: to write, like I want to be a songwriter. I
Speaker 5: thought I wanted to be a songwriter for a really
Speaker 5: long time, and she would just bring me to the
Speaker 5: studio and I would learn so much by just being
Speaker 5: in the room watching her. So yeah, I definitely learned
Speaker 5: so much by being in the studio. People like that
Speaker 5: are established in.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, so what made you want to transition out
Speaker 3: from that songwriting mindset to just becoming your own artist.
Speaker 5: I made my first EP, Colorway, and I didn't want
Speaker 5: anybody else to sing it because they were my personal stories,
Speaker 5: and then yeah.
Speaker 3: I just put it out.
Speaker 5: I was kind of I'm honestly really like super privileged
Speaker 5: because like I've known my manager David since I was
Speaker 5: like fifteen, before I even thought about making music, just
Speaker 5: being friends with Kaylene, so I kind of like had
Speaker 5: like it was accessible to just be like, Okay, I
Speaker 5: want to put out an EP.
Speaker 2: I'm like David, you have the tools around you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had the tools for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the people around you. That's great.
Speaker 1: And Kaylinnie had a similar start like that, right, like
Speaker 1: where she was very young and you know, people helped
Speaker 1: her out and you know there was some people like
Speaker 1: Nick Cannon who didn't want nothing from her but her to.
Speaker 2: Succeed exactly right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such a such a blessing to have people
Speaker 3: that like can help you and assist you and like
Speaker 3: bringing what you see to life, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's awesome and keep them around. Yeah, as
Speaker 1: long as you can forever, definitely, And you need.
Speaker 2: To be kind. Work hard or is that a thing?
Speaker 2: Is it work harder, work smarter for you? Smarter? Smarter? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Who wants to work hard? Right? I get it? Yeah?
