20
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>when you actually won your Grammy and you ran, I

21
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 2>mean literally ran up.

<v Speaker 2>Grammy as a play on words, to God be the Glory.

39
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 2>I understood that. I felt that. And there's another saya.

40
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 2>They say, you may know my glory to tie together,

41
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>but you may not know my story. And part of

42
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>your story was you were going to retire, weren't you. Yeah, Yeah,

43
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 2>that is That's been a lot. That's been a big

44
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>talking point for me as of recent as of the

45
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>recent years, and and the career has brought me much.

46
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 5>Joy and much pain at that time and still you know,

47
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 5>but winning brings a lot of joy now, it brings

48
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 5>it brings it kind of full circle, makes it feels

49
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 5>like all the hard work wasn't in vain.

50
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, you made it clear and not that you're

51
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>not humble, but you were honest and you were transparent,

52
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>saying basically, and I'm paraphrasing you, yes I want to win.

53
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes it's nice to be nominated, but yes I want

54
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 2>to win. How nervous were you in the moments leading

55
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>up to them saying your name? Honestly, I wasn't nervous

56
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 2>at all this time around. Actually every other year that

57
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I've been nominated as a solo artist, when they are

58
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>doing a name call, I get anxious and my heart

59
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>start pounding, and I'm just like I start breathing, and

60
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I hear them say my name, and then

61
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm waiting for them to call my name for the winner,

62
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>and I just get like so like pressure. But this

63
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 2>time was much different. My grandmama was with me, Big Mama,

64
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>say said doctor J. Yeah, you know Grammy Award winning

65
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Doctor J. She was with me, My little sister, my

66
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 2>little cousin was with me, My uncle was with me,

67
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 2>which is a total difference than any other time that

68
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I spend in California.

69
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 3>To have my family.

70
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 5>So I felt like the stress or the pressure or

71
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 5>the whatever it was that was happening that would normally

72
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 5>lead up to this moment in which, you know, I've

73
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 5>waited so long to you know, to live and get

74
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 5>to it.

75
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Felt like it was just chill. It felt like we

76
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 3>was getting ready for church.

77
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 4>And put another way, maybe you let go and let God.

78
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, let go let God, you know, and just enjoy

79
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 5>the time and enjoy to enjoy what's happening. Matter of fact,

80
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 5>to be honest to the reason why I was running

81
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 5>is because I just got in the room.

82
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 4>That's what I heard.

83
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>It's like you were literally running as they were announcing

84
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 2>your category.

85
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

86
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there was a traffic jam. Imagine that, you know

87
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 5>in La Geez. There was somebody like some car crash

88
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 5>and then we ran into another jam somewhere else. So

89
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 5>it was just not normal, you know, just getting there.

90
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 5>It was very unusual. I felt like the devil was

91
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.680
<v Speaker 5>trying to block men, but I made it anyway.

92
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I have followed your career for quite some time, but

93
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I know your career transcends genre. I know you as

94
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 2>a gospel artist, you're a funk artist, you're a jazz artist.

95
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>You already had a Latin Grammy. You had appeared on

96
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 2>all music from hip hop to pop, as far as

97
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>guest artists. In fact, your new single when I play

98
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 2>that in a moment, available on Spotify right now, Let's

99
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Go Fall in Love. I would say it's probably one

100
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 2>of the broadest musical selections I've heard you do in

101
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>a musical genre sense. You can wear all the hats.

102
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>But here's the question. How would you describe your music?

103
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 5>Oh man, I described my music as soul music or

104
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 5>better yet, future soul. I've been liking to call it

105
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 5>future soul, know, but music that just touches the heart.

106
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 5>I want all my music to touch the heart, to

107
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:12.399
<v Speaker 5>touch the emotions, to make you feel something. So soul

108
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 5>music is what I would call it.

109
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>When I was playing your bumper coming In, I didn't

110
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 2>play the whole song, but it's from you were performing

111
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 2>on BBC BBBC and it was your performing Billy gen

112
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a rendition of Billy Jean. And it's amazing to me

113
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 2>how you seemingly are very comfortable in any musical environment.

114
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.639
<v Speaker 2>You're playing with a full orchestra, and also there were

115
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 2>electronic instruments at someone obviously playing the guitar risks from

116
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Billy Jean. Is there anything that you haven't done in

117
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>a musical sense that you would like to do or

118
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 2>performance venue?

119
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

120
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Man, that's my job to ask those questions, which makes

121
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 4>you pause and.

122
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Thinks yeah, I'm like, oh, I thought about that. I

123
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 3>will say this.

124
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 5>I over about two three weeks ago at NAM Convention,

125
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 5>I started a new duo. You know, maybe I want

126
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 5>to call it Yeah, And it's interesting because it happened

127
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.120
<v Speaker 5>from a jam session with my brother shout out to

128
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 5>Shawan Andrews, and we've been playing music that sounds like

129
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 5>something I wasn't even really trying to target before. And

130
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 5>it sounds like and I never called it this. My

131
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 5>other homie called it this. He said, it's like it

132
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:34.639
<v Speaker 5>sounds like you're doing adium jazz soul music medium, you know,

133
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 5>DJ and I was like, Oh, that's interesting, you know

134
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 5>that that's happening and that people were like that. We

135
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 5>played it a few three about two or three times

136
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 5>around now, and then it got me closer to what

137
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to do coming into this year I've been

138
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:48.079
<v Speaker 5>wanting to DJ.

139
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

140
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 4>I don't see you as a DJ, but I didn't

141
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 4>know that.

142
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 5>I got these ideas in which, you know, I'm a

143
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 5>DJ and play some drums on the side or take

144
00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 5>a solo, you know, or the mogue or something like that.

145
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 5>But I want to spend records and for a lot

146
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.680
<v Speaker 5>of reasons. But doing how I was doing it in

147
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 5>a new duo, I was like, Oh, we could be

148
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 5>in the DJ space, and I'm looking forward to making

149
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 5>music that is like dancy, but I don't want to

150
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 5>call it idiom, but like in that space.

151
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So you took one of my questions because I was

152
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>going to ask you. When I encounter people who are driven,

153
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>they're usually less concerned about what they've already done and

154
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 2>more concerned about the next thing. Yes, you wanted to

155
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 2>win a Grammy, but your mind is already probably beyond

156
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>the Grammy. So is the DJing the next thing or

157
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>just one of a bunch of next things.

158
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 5>It is one of a bunch of things I think

159
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.039
<v Speaker 5>already coming into it.

160
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.679
<v Speaker 3>I was several projects.

161
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 5>Of things I recorded, worked on and got to the

162
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 5>finish line, and I want to get those things out,

163
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, much like this song, Like like this song,

164
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 5>I worked on this song and nobody, you know, knew

165
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 5>I was working on it. But I just have these songs,

166
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, just like ready and like ready to push

167
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.080
<v Speaker 5>play on and.

168
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:16.639
<v Speaker 4>Let me jump in there.

169
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>I wonder and tell me if I'm wrong, but I

170
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>think I'm right. Do you sometimes wake up in the

171
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 2>middle of the night with a melody in your head?

172
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:24.480
<v Speaker 2>You just have to get it down before you forget

173
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 2>about it? Absolutely absolutely, you know. As soon as it

174
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 2>hits I'm like, oh man, I feel a tingle in

175
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>my fingers, you know, And I'm like, oh man, let

176
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>me go sit down and grab my phone. It's a

177
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of let me grab my phone. I'd be like,

178
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>do you sing the melody or do you do you

179
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 2>have like an app where you can like just play

180
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 2>a melody?

181
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 3>No, just singing it.

182
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 5>Singing it is normally enough, and it's normally uh like

183
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.919
<v Speaker 5>really jumbled, you know, like I could be singing. I

184
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 5>was like, I start saying chords like he flat through

185
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 5>the Oh, you will.

186
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 4>Go back to it, so it's not even a melody.

187
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a chord progression and you hear the parts already

188
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 2>in your head.

189
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, yeah, especially if I'm not around a piano,

190
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 5>you know. And sometimes that's those are the best songs

191
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 5>when I'm not around a piano, you know, And I'll

192
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 5>just like just be in the car and then it

193
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 5>hits me. I'm like, and I'll just start singing and thing,

194
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 5>and I'm like, oh, this is a.

195
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 4>Song, okay.

196
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 2>But you hear the melody, the harmony, do you hear

197
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 2>the backing vocals? Do you hear the full instrumentation or

198
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the just a melody in that moment?

199
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 5>It depends, But normally I hear the whole song. It's

200
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.080
<v Speaker 5>like if I get an idea, or let's like and

201
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 5>I say the whole song, but I hear all the

202
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 5>parts in the song, Like if I get a chorus right, Normally,

203
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 5>if I hear a melody in my head, I can

204
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 5>hear the bass part to the melody, the chords to

205
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 5>the melody, the drum part, you know, like all that's

206
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 5>kind of playing along with it, you know. So the

207
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 5>idea comes packaged normally, you know, if it's one part

208
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.720
<v Speaker 5>of a song or the entire song, it's normally packaged.

209
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:58.600
<v Speaker 5>And if it's not, then I'm like, all right, let

210
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 5>me call and the homie the make some drums up

211
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 5>to this or something like that.

212
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 2>But the song is pretty much complete. You just haven't

213
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 2>put it down as a full recording. Yes, that's what

214
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.720
<v Speaker 2>they call brilliance and genius. My goodness. When we come back,

215
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.120
<v Speaker 2>we're going to get into his new song, Let's Go

216
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Fall in Love. I would call it a national debut,

217
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, world premiere if you like. Here on Later

218

<v Speaker 2>Can't I mister Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio

224
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Happened I'm continue to be joined in the studio by

225
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Grammy Award winning artists Corey Henry and Corey let me

226
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>pick up right there. It's one thing to win a Grammy.

227
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 2>It's another thing to say I have a Latin Grammy

228
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>and a Grammy.

229
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:20.720
<v Speaker 4>What is I would say.

230
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 2>More impactful or more not more important, but touched you

231
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 2>more emotionally.

232
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 5>In terms of the Grammys, I guess this one does

233
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 5>more emotionally, this one. It seems like my whole life

234
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 5>is now made some type of sense personally, and there's

235
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 5>so many reasons I can go forever talking about it.

236
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.799
<v Speaker 5>I think I was thinking often about how long I

237
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 5>spent in church and how you know, many years and

238
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 5>hours and like times and services and concerts and traveling

239
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 5>and practicing and just it's just so much that win

240
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.879
<v Speaker 5>into that experience, and I used it for and I

241
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 5>use it rather for all my music, no matter you know,

242
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 5>like the genre yep. But to actually specifically go back

243
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:16.440
<v Speaker 5>and go go to the studio and remember and record

244
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 5>the music that I grew up playing, and to win

245
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.440
<v Speaker 5>a Grammy for that is like it's kind of mind blowing,

246
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, like to get it from the thing that,

247
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.720
<v Speaker 5>like I started from.

248
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 2>What I appreciate most about that album Church. It took

249
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.000
<v Speaker 2>me back to my early days in the church, the

250
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 2>old time religion, the hymns, the things that we would

251
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.320
<v Speaker 2>sing in the church all the time. And I always

252
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.200
<v Speaker 2>go ballistic in a good way when I hear a

253
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Hammond B three, and I usually it's not necessarily promptly featured,

254
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.919
<v Speaker 2>but I can hear it in what you do. And

255
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 2>before we get to your single, it reminded me you

256
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 2>did this piece for doctor Henry Lewis Gates where you

257
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 2>were playing on the Hammond B three and it almost

258
00:14:01.440 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>brought tears to my eyes.

259
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I look at the gospel.

260
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 4>That takes me back.

261
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 2>When you sit down at the hand in these days,

262
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 2>does it also take you back?

263
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 4>Does it take you somewhere else sometime else?

264
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Yes, And especially when I'm playing songs like Amazing Grace.

265
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 5>My mama taught me how to play that song. That's

266
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.600
<v Speaker 5>the first song I ever lost, I ever learned. And

267
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 5>when I play any song that's like that, or songs

268
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 5>that are from my childhood, you know, it makes me

269
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 5>think about when I was a kid learning them and

270
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.399
<v Speaker 5>playing them in church, and it does bring me to

271
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 5>tears very often. You know, it's right, very emotional. I'm

272
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 5>very connected to these songs in a very deep way.

273
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.039
<v Speaker 5>And yeah, and it brings me back every time. You know,

274
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 5>that was the beginning. But where you are now, you're

275
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 5>the different point in your career. You're you're playing different music.

276
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:04.799
<v Speaker 5>I think it's now time.

277
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>That we play a little bit of Let's Go Fall

278
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>in Love, and it's perfect. It's in time for Valentine's Day.

279
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.919
<v Speaker 2>But before I play it, tell me about it. What

280
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.519
<v Speaker 2>inspired you?

281
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.840
<v Speaker 5>What is it about? This song is for the lovers.

282
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.799
<v Speaker 5>This song is for all the lovers out there. I think,

283
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 5>I just I'm not even think. I just like love songs,

284
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.320
<v Speaker 5>you know, and I play love songs all the time.

285
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.399
<v Speaker 5>Some of my favorite songs are love songs from Al Green,

286
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 5>Marvin Gaye.

287
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I was getting ready to ask you who's that feel

288
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.679
<v Speaker 2>for you, Bill Wethers and you know, Stevie Wonder and

289
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.159
<v Speaker 2>you know the list, go earth Win and Fire.

290
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Love songs are some of the greatest songs ever written.

291
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.279
<v Speaker 5>And and no matter what you know people feel about

292
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.320
<v Speaker 5>Valentine's Day, you know, this song is for the lovers,

293
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.039
<v Speaker 5>you know, so it's always a good time for the lovers.

294
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 5>And I got with my boy. Shout out to my

295
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 5>boy Charlie Burrell and Cheris Burrell for helping me put

296
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:12.920
<v Speaker 5>this one together. And I'm just excited that this song is,

297
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:16.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, beyond just being for the lovers, is a dance,

298
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.279
<v Speaker 5>feel good track, and you know, something that's.

299
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 4>Very different from what I've heard from you.

300
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.480
<v Speaker 5>Very sure, for sure, there's definitely a left turn from

301
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:25.720
<v Speaker 5>all my other music.

302
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.440

328
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:08.599
<v Speaker 3>You know.

329
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.759
<v Speaker 5>I put out a piano album right like last year

330
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 5>or something like that, and uh, and I've been devoting

331
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:17.000
<v Speaker 5>more time to the instrument. When I listened to John

332
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.599
<v Speaker 5>Baptiste play, you know, since you mentioned them specifically, and

333
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.720
<v Speaker 5>and all the time that I've spent with him, you know,

334
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 5>working on music and things. When I hear him play,

335
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm inspired by the way he is trying to always

336
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:34.039
<v Speaker 5>like use the instrument like as a resource or a

337
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.480
<v Speaker 5>source of energy of like freshness, and like he's never

338
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.400
<v Speaker 5>being fake about, you know, playing the instrument. And I

339
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.440
<v Speaker 5>was like, I just always love that. And I got

340
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 5>a piano in my house now, so I like practice

341
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.599
<v Speaker 5>every day and and I really put time. I grew

342
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 5>up as an organ player, if I said that before,

343
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.079
<v Speaker 5>but I grew up as an organ player, so you know,

344
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 5>the piano is a different world.

345
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 4>It's a completely different instrument. I mean, it's their night

346
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:58.319
<v Speaker 4>and day.

347
00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 3>Night and day, night and day.

348
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 5>And to be recognized, uh, for a piano is like,

349
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.200
<v Speaker 5>oh man, most of my favorite music is coming from

350
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.160
<v Speaker 5>the piano, you know, And almost every time I mentioned

351
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.920
<v Speaker 5>a favorite musician of mine is normally a piano player.

352
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:17.200
