Speaker 8: Yes, very good, very good. Well right now, joining us
alive in studio and let me get that mic up there.
We have Rick Everhard, better known as six Minds Combined. Hello, Hello, Hello,
welcome to the program. We're going to play some of
your tunes and get to know you a bit. And
I have to tell you so. And I didn't mention
this off air, but so last night on Friday nights,
I'm here too. I do a show called retro Spectrum
Radio with Polly c. Polly sees the host. I'm his
co host on that program, and he always asks me
during the show what do I have coming up the
next morning? On Matt connorton Unleashed, And he loves the
name six Minds Combined. He absolutely loves it. He thinks
that's like the coolest name ever. So before we play
the first track the single, let me get the obvious
question out of the way. Where's the mind where's the
name come from? Rather six Minds Combined?
Speaker 10: So actually it's not a long story, but but there's
So when I first started making music way back when
I was eighteen, I I I came up with a
name and I was like, oh, I like this name.
It works, but it didn't work for everything that I
was making. So so I was like, oh, well, let's
let's try this name, and then this name and then
this name, and it eventually it became six different names.
So I went by I went by Schitzo for a
little while.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then uh.
Speaker 10: And then one day I was like, uh, so so
there was another artist, underground artist at the time that
was going by the same name, and so I was like,
you know, I can't really like bite off this guy.
I got all my own names, you know, so so
why don't I just stick to to those depending on
what I'm working on at the time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and uh.
Speaker 10: And then one of my songs that I wrote, I
had wrote, uh, something like with these six minds combined,
and and I read it off and I was like,
wait a minute, that's perfect. So so that's that's basically
where that came from.
Speaker 8: Oh, very good, very good. By the way, who I
am is in the Facebook live chat and says yes
six MC I'm sure. Oh oh MC and two exclamation points.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yes, we were talking off air too. You were on
Lacey's show recently? Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. Yeah, she was
here and a while ago and brought her keyboard and
played live for us at studio. It was a lot
of fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah. There's a song called Oh let Me Know when
It's Time to Rock that was stuck in my head
for months after hearing it. Wow, but let's do this.
Let's play this track now. This is the single day Dreaming.
I have a radio edit of it here. We'll listen
to this and then we'll come back and talk about
it and get to know more about what you're doing.
But if you are just joining us live, we have
right here in studio six minds combined, and check it
this out. This is called daydreaming.
Speaker 5: Six minds combined. These minds combined.
Speaker 10: Sometimes I get to thinking about all the things I'm missing.
I get so many inklings to do the favorites lifting
one mind dismissing, time persists, two mind back, mind starts drifting.
I find myself in veloped, helpless as to where I'm visiting,
dimension shifting, vented and bursts up our sentence left intact
on wrecking what we've left untouched. The future is not
above us, but right in front of us. Enough of
not embracing faid. It's plain to see the change we
need to make.
Speaker 11: It's time to shake the tree.
Speaker 5: What could this mean?
Speaker 12: I'm da tree.
Speaker 13: I see the scene, the men to see misleeeding me.
Speaker 12: What could this mean? I'm day dreaming. I see the scene,
the men to see.
Speaker 10: Misteeding different directions, FECs. My mind is left invested in
this fan to see it's fans. I see you're runny,
screaming at me, laughing, crying, funding lights so bright, the
sight is like a dream.
Speaker 5: It's me.
Speaker 11: I'm standing.
Speaker 10: It's outstanding, handing me the trophy, holding hands, whip, woopy
hugs and speeches, leeches, creeping me out, sneaking past the
popper razzi. Whoops, they got me shot outside, accosted at
the Boston Market.
Speaker 3: Stars are made this way.
Speaker 10: Let's like the spark Let's fight the darkness, harkness holding
up the gate.
Speaker 11: It's time to fade away.
Speaker 12: What could this mean? I'm day dreaming.
Speaker 13: I see the scene, amen to see misleeeding me.
Speaker 12: What could this mean? I'm day dreaming.
Speaker 13: I see the scene nom men to see misleeding me,
misteed me.
Speaker 10: The stakes are racing, lifting faces, journey to change places,
aces saved in case adjacent to the jack of space.
Speaker 11: I wasted and place it face down.
Speaker 10: Passive takedown patients gaining me the high ground, chasing faithless
vagrants aimlessly down past.
Speaker 11: They want to try it now. I don't want to
die now, but want to fly.
Speaker 10: This guy's the limit, getting like to find out what's
next to my brow to try and get it. I'll
win the contest of constant progress on top of the
charge with my songs about this, the roll up doubtless,
No mouth, don't shout with us when we bumped down,
shouting I'm out.
Speaker 5: Shame, come out shame. What good this mean?
Speaker 12: I'm day dreaming.
Speaker 13: I see the scene nomen to see misteeding?
Speaker 12: What good this me? Im day dreaming?
Speaker 13: I see the scene nomen see misleeeding?
Speaker 4: Mis me?
Speaker 3: Could this mean?
Speaker 12: Is it just the day dream?
Speaker 5: What could this mean?
Speaker 11: What could this mean?
Speaker 8: I like that that is daydreaming, and that is six
minds combined. And we have six minds combined here with
us live in studio. Yeah, great track. I love that.
Is that you singing as well?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 8: Oh so you do? You do all the vocals?
Speaker 6: All the vocals, is me?
Speaker 8: Oh excellent? Now what about the instrumentation do you play
as well or so?
Speaker 10: Actually, all the all the music off of this album
was all made by Chris carwellos okay, good friend of mine.
He's uh he's doing a drum and based thing as
Skinny Jeans.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, yeah, from the area or area. Oh okay, okay,
very good.
Speaker 6: He actually lives in Conquered I think.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, And how did you connect with Chris to
work on this project?
Speaker 14: So?
Speaker 10: Actually I've been I worked with Chris for for like
eight years, just making music, hanging out, having fun, you know,
making stuff for us.
Speaker 6: You know, just just just to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 10: And actually I got I got mixed up with him
because I got into some trouble and I had to
do some community service, so I went, Uh, my friend
Gillian Anderson introduced me to Tom Lopez, who was at
the time the vice president of Positive Street Art. Okay,
and I had to do some community service. So I
did all my community service through Positive street Art, which
was it was great.
Speaker 6: It was a wow.
Speaker 10: So if anybody has has community, so they need to
work out definitely, you know, uh look us up and
and uh and and get involved. But it's positive, straight
out changed my life. I met a whole bunch of
people through them. I obviously, you know, I got I
got my act together, and uh, it's it's just been great. Great,
it's a great organization and uh. But anyway, so so
through that, doing the different events that we do, I
ended up meeting uh Chris at we we had a
dance program going on for a while, so he would
come to that every every week or every other week,
whatever it was. And I met him there and we
we hit it off right away.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and uh and uh.
Speaker 10: He he mentioned that he was you know, he was
a producer, he made music in the past, and I
was like, oh, we should work on something together. So
he he gave me everything that he had in his
archive and he's like, he's like, you know what, I
really like you. I trust you. Here, take all this
and see what you can do with it. And so
I wrote to a couple of the tracks that he
gave me and he's like he's like, wow, you know.
Speaker 6: This is this is this is cool. Let's let's keep
working together.
Speaker 10: So he started coming over like once a month, with
once every couple of weeks, and he would pump out
like five minute beats and then we would sit there
for hours and we would just write to it back
and forth. And we must have made well over one
hundred songs together. And so I'd say somewhere abouts.
Speaker 6: A year ago.
Speaker 10: We had we had made that song Daydreaming. He used
the this this instrument called the machine, and he like
recorded a couple of vocal samples and just turned it
into this sick beat. And I was like, oh, this
is really cool. And and I was like it feels
kind of like daydreaming, and he's like yeah. And so
it just it just went from there, you know. And
and and I think it was like two or three
days and we had the song done yep. And so
shortly after that he had, you know, he had things
going on in his life. I had things going on
in my life. And he's like, he's like, you know
what I'm We sat down and we talked and he's
like he's like, I'm going to take a different direction
with my music right now. You know, I'm going to
do this this drum and bassed thing. And and he's like,
but I wanted to let you know that anything that
we've worked on up until this point is yours. Do
whatever you want with it. Rewrite the lyrics, use the lyrics,
whatever you want to do. And I was like, you
know what, I should do something with this. So so
I put it out in the universe. You know that
I wanted to start, you know, chasing the dream, right.
So so somehow the universe answered and they introduced me
to Eleanor Luna from Midnight Creatives Collective and she she's
they are are became my manager, you know, Like I
mentioned my ideas and she's like, we can do this
for you. So so it's just been it's been a
ride since then. But we I picked uh seven of
the songs that I had been working on, and I
went to uh toy Bok Studios with mister good Bars.
Speaker 8: Yes, ye, yeah, he was on the show a couple
of months ago. I think I think it was a
couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a great. Dude's phenomenal. He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 8: Absolutely and he works with so many different genres too.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yep, yeah, so many different genres, and he's
good with with all of it. He's just got a
huge talent for music and and putting it all together.
He also does cinematography, so he I.
Speaker 8: Didn't even know that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he he made the Daydreaming official music video that's
on YouTube.
Speaker 6: Oh okay yep. So, so we had a party.
Speaker 10: He came over, I had a few people over and
and we created the ambiance and and he did all
the recording and and then put it all together afterwards.
But anyway, so, so I had the beats, I had
the I had the lyrics. I have a home studio.
It's not that great, but but I don't know all
the technical things, you know, the tweaks in this that.
So I was like, I want to get this professionally recorded.
And Eleanor introduced me to mister Goodbars. I went over
and he's like this, this stuff is great. He's like,
let's do this. So we we laid down all the
lyrics onto the tracks, and then he did. He worked
his wizardry magic and made it sound ten times better
than I could have ever hoped. And uh and and
it became the album. Eleanor Uh then she she you know,
put the booklet together. I had my friend Hegan Fitzgerald
art by KF that did the the artwork for the album.
Speaker 8: We should mention and and I'll hold it up too
for I mean, they won't be able to see it
super well, but for people watching online, yeah, you brought
in you brought in a few copies of the CD,
and I just want to say too, it's impressive. So,
you know, it's a conversation that comes up a lot
on the show with guests. You know, whether you know
physical media, you know, are you gonna are you gonna
put something out on physical media or not? And and
a lot of our guests really are putting out CDs.
But you you kind of went all out with this too,
because you know, you've got the book and you know
you've got all the lyrics and everything. You know, you
full liner notes all of that, which is really cool.
And I love the artwork. So but yeah, for people
watching online you can kind of see it's it's impressive,
but yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Cool.
Speaker 10: So actually about the CD, I don't know, it was
like fifteen six and sixteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 6: We went through Super Dupes yep, and got them all
printed up.
Speaker 10: They're right in Salem, right, Yes, yes, I I am
if I meet anybody in person. And actually I figured,
since we're on the radio here, if anybody wants to
reach out to me, I will give them the free
a free CD. Okay, So I don't want to I'm
not trying to make money off the CDs. I feel like,
I feel like like music itself should be as free
as it could possibly be. The things that I feel
like artists should get paid for is shows, merchandise and
things like that. But the music, I just want to
get it out there. I got a message. I want
people to hear it. That's again why I put the
lyrics in there too, because I want people to know
what I'm saying and understand the message that I'm trying
to portray, you know, like a it's like uplifting, like
let's let's make some stuff happen together, you know, you know,
forget all this negativity and and all the bad stuff
that's happening in the world, Like let's let's let's ignore
that and and let's move forward in a progressive way.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 10: At the end of one of my songs and one
of my lyrics, I say, we can be we without
being forced and and that's I really feel strongly about that.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 10: I feel like like there's there's too many organizations and
people that are they're just doing it for themselves, you know,
and they're trying to be the better of whatever they're
they're into. They're trying to be the best. I'm looking
at it differently. I don't think. I don't think that
I can be my best without somebody helping me become
my best. Right, I wouldn't have been able to get
as far as I've gotten with the music in these
past few months if it wasn't for Eleanor at Midnight
Creatives Collective. Yeah, she's she's really taken taken the bowl
by the horns.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, what what she's doing there is phenomenal.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, it's it is great.
Speaker 10: And if if there are any aspiring artists, musicians, painting artists,
pencil artists, crafts, like whatever you do, check it out
Midnight Creatives Collective.
Speaker 6: She they will they will help everybody.
Speaker 10: So the idea is to basically have like a business
bar where people can come together and they can collaboratively
work on whatever art projects they have going on. And
at the same time, she also does like this this management. Yeah,
and she's been picking up quite a few clients lately,
so get on the list.
Speaker 6: As soon as I.
Speaker 8: Was gonna say, I think she's just signed a couple more.
Oh yeah, mistaken. Yeah, yeah, no, she's doing great stuff there.
And so I'm associated now too, tangentially, but I'm doing
I don't know if you know this about me. I'm
also a certified hypnotherapist. Oh really, and I'm now available
Mondays and Tuesdays if someone wants to book a session
with me in Nashua at the Business Bar.
Speaker 6: Oh cool, they can do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Oh so you're involved with her too.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh yeah, I've known Eleanor for probably twenty years.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yep, yep.
Speaker 9: Absolutely highlighted my artwork in the month of August. They
took twelve of my darkest paintings and put them up.
Speaker 6: Oh cool, yep, yep.
Speaker 8: Yeah, she's pretty awesome. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: The whole organization, like the idea that they have for
it and everything that they're doing. They actually they just
open up another room in the building that they're at
where they want. It's gonna be like a community jam space. Okay,
So anybody you know bring your guitar down, bring your
keyboard down, bring your bring your amp and your microphone
and let's all hang out in that room together and
just jam out. You know, makes them make them have
some fun.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh that's fantastic. Well we should play another track.
I'll let you pick what. Uh what should we play next?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 10: Uh, my my favorite song off the album is Running
through a Mansion?
Speaker 8: Okay, you know what's cool? I was. I'm glad you
said that because, uh, that's actually my favorite too.
Speaker 6: Oh cool?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I love this one. So we'll give this a spin. Yeah,
if you didn't pick this, I was gonna close the
segment with it when we get to the top of
the hour, but I'm gonna gohead and play it now.
Cool and yeah, this is my personal favorite. You know,
and your your tracks, I mean they're they're unique. You know,
it's it's this song especially, it's it's like nothing I've
ever heard before.
Speaker 6: Cool you?
Speaker 8: How do you everyone always sy it's a score about
how do you define your music for someone who's not
heard it? Do do you call it alternative hip hop?
Because that's the first thing that came behind when I
was listening. It's like all hip hop.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I think that's probably what I would classify
it as, I tell hip people hip hop because it's
got rapping. Yeah, rap is significantly, you know, a big
part of the hip hop scene. So so that's what
I start with. But I'm like, but it's not just
hip hop, right, Like, you really got to check it
out and listen to it because every song is different.
Every song's got its own cadence and feel to it,
and if you don't like one song, you might like
the other six, So it's worth checking out.
Speaker 8: All right, Yeah, very good. Well check this out. This
is called running through a mansion and this is six
minds combined.
Speaker 15: Well you know, well you know, will you know that
you got this? Hm said, well you know?
Speaker 5: Will you know? Will you know that you got this?
Speaker 4: Hm?
Speaker 11: Running through a mansion? Answer in a standing question, left.
Speaker 10: Alone, through room, through both LEAs I know you left
me question destiny is best to ring Obsessing all my
lessons learned, I think I've earned some rest against It's
time to burn the desperate yearning for Lot's de coope
with later greater understanding. Handling matters as a man in
standing up for what we know is right and making
not demands and never given into ghosts, just hoping for
where change.
Speaker 11: It never comes as long as you don't run.
Speaker 10: It's fundamentally us Central Central Intel spelled it out.
Speaker 5: It sounds a bit like Southold wellness. You've already won.
Speaker 11: It's all about the combined. Some time is an illusion.
Speaker 10: You can do it because you've done it someday, some say,
prove it to yourself and that's enough to use the
runway be taking off of often skies and bids to
try to find us, flying freely, feeling fund and finding
flight past that, to find us climbing higher than we
dared you scared to fall back to the ground, resounding
off the atmosphere.
Speaker 16: It's clear clear will never come back down. Oh no,
we're all oudy painting on this can less our spots leave,
We'll burning like the stars. We've got scars, We've earned
them working.
Speaker 5: So well, you know, will you know? Will you know
that you got this?
Speaker 12: H sit well, you know?
Speaker 5: Well you know?
Speaker 10: Will you know that you got this? I feel a
little bitter about this. Read a lot a lot of lyrics.
Need a bit to sit and settle myself done before
I hear it. Fear is nothing to do with the
science system. Listen serious, gear up, dust off script the
rust off. You can drive a numbkin ver six off
this path that at last, I I've found so many
floors and the doors are torn down? How many more
before I'm forced to lay down and take a break,
before I break and fade out? Listening this, It's got
me thinking about what's missing. It's insensitive, obsessing over every
single mistake, taking time and making rhymes to take my
minds up all this sickness. Witness in between the lines
of something written you got.
Speaker 11: This, you got this? M? Well you know?
Speaker 5: Will you know? Will you know that you got this?
Speaker 17: Said?
Speaker 12: Well you know?
Speaker 5: Will you know? Will you know that you got this? M?
Speaker 10: You can through these windows, watching people following wind blows,
holding on the hope that no wind folds beneath the
way of carrying their burdens, hurting inside and end out,
trying trying to be something someday, some way, somehow, someone
that they can be proud of, shure the world what
they climbed out of, holding onto who they were while
turning into something more. Be putting keys in their own doors,
ensuring needs to just be sure so they won't need
to need no more.
Speaker 5: Indeed, we plead to leave this core, imploring we don't
need to work.
Speaker 10: We can be without being forced, without being forced, without
being forced, big, without being forced, big, without being word helvic.
Speaker 6: Yeah that was awesome.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that is my favorite. That is running through a mansion.
That is six minds combined. Who is here with us
live in studio on this Saturday morning. Uh, there's a
line in there too, watching Uh was it watching people?
Watching people falling over when the wind blows? It just Uh,
you couldn't have predicted when you wrote that song. But
when I when I hear that, I immediately think of
I just have visions of all these videos that I've seen,
uh in Florida, Yeah, the hurricanes, like literally people being
knocked over by the wind. But yeah, such a great track.
And uh, I love your your singing voice too. You
you remind me of somebody, but I can't quite place
when you're singing. Has anyone ever told you that you
were anyone?
Speaker 10: For every single person that says I sound like somebody
says I sound like somebody different?
Speaker 8: Oh no kidding. Oh that's interesting, that's interesting, is it?
I assume it's not. But is it difficult to shift
gears live between singing and rapping. It's probably pretty natural
out imagine it is.
Speaker 10: Especially I've I've practiced practiced these songs hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of times. So it's so it's like, uh,
and I listened to them every single day, you know,
my my music is my favorite music.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So so when when I first write the songs, they
they don't sound the way they do at the end,
like I have to find. I have to find, like
I write first, and then I'll find the cadence and
I'll i'll create the melodies and things like that. So
so a lot of those words I wrote them as
words first, and then I would listen to and go, oh,
well this would sound good with some sort of melody here, okay,
And and then and then I would adapt the words
to to work.
Speaker 8: For that now okay. Yeah, that song in particular has
a lot of words in it.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's got the most words and
on the album.
Speaker 8: Is that is that challenging for you or I?
Speaker 10: I have a horrible memory, so it's really really hard
to remember all my lyrics. And I've I've made like
I've like I said before, I've made hundreds of songs. Yeah,
past I don't remember any of them.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 10: Actually, one thing I do remember, though I can't I
can't say it because there's there's bad words in it.
But the very first, the very first four bars I
ever wrote. It's stuck in my head forever. That'll never
go away. But yeah, so especially that song, it is
hard to remember the lyrics, but it's I almost use
like a visual and and like the the fact that
it that the things rhyme that that helps a lot.
And and like if I if I say the first line,
it triggers the second line in my mind. Yeah, the
second line triggers the third, and then the fourth. So
so if if I jump in the middle of a
song and try to start it, I'm so lost. I
have to start from the beginning.
Speaker 8: That makes sense. That makes sense. That's something too. You know,
there are people who who don't like hip hop, and
I always tell them one thing that I just feel
nobody ever brings us up either. Something that I feel
that people who rap don't get enough credit for is
the memory skills.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because you know, your typical rock song, it's pretty
easy to remember you know, you listen to it a
few times, you know, verse course verst course. You know,
you get the lyrics, but your average hip hop song
has a lot more lyrics ye packed into it than
your average rock song. So there's you've really got to
have good memory skills or you know, or find some
something that works for you mentally, like the way that
you described where you can recall all of that and
even and also two with a rock song, if you
do mess up a lyric, it's pretty easy to recover
from it. But I would imagine a song like running
through a mansion if you mess something up as you're
performing it live. You know, I mean in your mind
that there must be like a little bit of a
hiccup there, like uh oh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yep.
Speaker 8: Does that ever happen?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it happens all the time.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And that's another thing like I want to put out
there is like everybody makes mistakes, you know, and and
especially in live shows, there's a lot of pressure that
that you're under being in front of even if you're
in front of ten people, if you're in front of
one hundred people, there's there's pressure to do a good job.
And that on top of all the other little things.
It's you know, anything can make you skip up, mess up.
I was at I host an open mic for through
Positive Street Art once a month. The next one's October eighteenth.
At the last one I was at was also my
record release party, and I was I was performing the
song Champion, and I forgot the first world. Oh so
I had to restart the song two times and and
and I like I I was perfectly fine. I was
calm like I was. I wasn't nervous at all. And
then I forgot that first word. And then then like
my anxiety shot to the roof and I started I
started all like panicking right there. I'm like, oh God,
what do I do? I can't remember, I can't remember.
So I just I like centered myself and I just
press play and and the lyrics all showed up.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, was well, so the we haven't mentioned it yet.
The name of the album is Issue zero.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was. I was curious about that. The title.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so, so I'm I'm into like comic books and
series and things like that. So I like to I
like to integrate all my passions and and my hobbies
into everything I do. So so with the with the
name of the album. I was like, I wanted to
be the first of something so like in like issue
or or something like that. But but it's it's kind
of like the before album. Okay, you know, I'm just
coming out. Everybody's getting getting to know me. So it's
not the first one. Yeah, it comes before.
Speaker 6: That, so it's zero. So it's it's Issue zero. And
and that's that's basically why.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes sense. Well,
we should play another track. What do you want to? Uh,
where where should we go?
Speaker 6: NeXT's go with Champion.
Speaker 8: We'll go with Champion.
Speaker 10: And that was that was not one of the ones
I needed a radio edit, and that one's that one's
a it's a little more melodic than the other stuff.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 10: And then my song in Your Hands, I feel like
that's the closest to like a rock song that I have.
Oh really, yuh yeah, So maybe we'll play that at
some point too.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, cool. All right, let's give this has been
If you are just joining us, we have six minds
combined here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning,
and this track is called Champion.
Speaker 11: Who can we rely on? Send me that chap young
Who do we run to.
Speaker 5: When we need someone to defend fruit?
Speaker 11: What if we're running the wrong way?
Speaker 3: And how do we know with?
Speaker 11: What if we do ourselves today?
Speaker 3: And how we show me the right path and give
me from all this dark ness?
Speaker 11: Or shop in my knife hands.
Speaker 3: And we me out on my.
Speaker 10: Who do we become when there's no one to take
the far the one to make the sacrifice, the one
to make that final call. Who do we become when
someone threatens those belove above and below? We go to
the deepest depths to hold that crutch, hold that crutch.
Speaker 19: I judge my fair share of square squaring lough in lost,
has somewhere off.
Speaker 11: In thought, shared eye off God, off God. After our
murder to.
Speaker 20: Sign and a normally normally a normal guy, but I'm
not just me, might want to see what I might
decide I gotta not just be, gotta be the best
of my mind's just tied.
Speaker 10: I normally intend to intensified the descent to pretended, decided
this that's decided to repent, invent a sentiment for desensitized descent,
commending every simple step a symbol set.
Speaker 5: Who do we turn to when we burnt through?
Speaker 10: Walmar heroes here go stewing rose to becomposed to beat this.
Those no ta pose also just throwing in pits of bones,
no fits in. Those that lived there sold this pigs
to stuff and their bellies with these demon fxs.
Speaker 6: Hmmm, nice short song.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that is a short one.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: That is called Champion. That is six minds combined here
with us live in studio on the Saturday morning. By
the way, you are getting a lot of chat room love.
We should uh mention some of these folks, uh I Jones?
Is that he said a y E Jones A Jones
A Jones Uh says a lot of very positive things
including I'm so proud of you dude, ye which is uh,
which is very nice.
Speaker 6: A good friend of mine.
Speaker 8: Oh, excellent, excellent Eddie Uh seven two three oh says
love you six mc uh. Let's see who else who
I am we mentioned is in there earlier being very supportive.
We appreciate that, uh. Andre Dumont of course. In the
Facebook live chat this morning, Andre says this show has
amazing local variety. Does New Hampshire even realize the local talents? Yeah,
there's a lot of talent here.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 8: Sometimes somebody will ask me, you know, how does you
know Jenny does all the booking? And somebody will ask me,
how does Jenny find all these artists? And it's like, well,
there's so much great talent out there, so many, you know,
and not just here but all over the all over
the world. Really, we live in a time where it's
easier than ever to create music and then share it
with the world, you know, with the globe.
Speaker 9: And a lot of times it's when an artist says
can I all.
Speaker 8: They do is ask.
Speaker 6: That's it. Well, that's that's the huge thing, is uh,
any opportunity.
Speaker 10: There are tons of opportunities out there, and you just
gotta you gotta see them, you know, if you if
you see something, yeah, see something, say something, you know,
like the like the radio shows, I would have I
would have I would have never done this myself. But
knowing knowing the people that I do it gives me
the confidence, you know. So but yeah, you know, get
out there. If you if you're if you're making music
for yourself and you think it's good, you know, show
show it to some people, see if they think it's good.
Speaker 6: And if they think it's good, then show it to
more people.
Speaker 10: You know, get get on the radio, talk to you know,
reach out, get a hold of Eleanor at the MCC
and she can make it happen for you.
Speaker 8: Absolutely. Absolutely. By the way, can you tell us a
little bit more about positive street art because it sounds
like so it sounds it sounds like you had to
do that because of community service. But it worked out great. Obviously,
it helped you turn things around. And you're you're still
working with the organization.
Speaker 6: Yes, so I'm I'm on the board.
Speaker 8: Excellent.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So, so I I had to do my community service
and I had one hundred hours I had to do.
So I worked with Paul Sheha at Great American Downtown
on Sundays doing the farmers market, and then I worked
with Tom Lopez painting murals. You know who who who
doesn't want to paint murals for community service? So I
had such a great time doing it that I continued
to volunteer with them afterward, and I just really wanted
to like it. It was very fulfilling, you know. So
I was like, I want to be a part of this,
and then you know, one thing led to another and
they finally asked me, They're like, well, you're you're such
a huge part, you know, you're always helping us out.
Why don't you join our board? And I was like,
I'll do it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I was like, I don't know what I'm doing, but
i'll do it. You know, I'll take the opportunity. I'll
make it out. But through positive street art, many many
Ramirez is that our lead painter. I don't know what
title he goes by now, but he does most of
the murals or organizes them. But he he was leaving
an apartment way back shortly after I got involved with them,
and I was looking for a place and he's like,
oh my, there's an apartment in my building that's opening up.
Why don't you check into that? So I checked it out.
I was like, this is perfect. Ended up living there
for six But after I got the place, the landlord
showed up three weeks later and he goes He goes, hey, man,
I heard you're a carpenter. You want a job? And
I was like, yeah, I'll take a job. So I've
actually been at that company for eight years now. It's
the best company I've ever worked for in my life.
Speaker 8: Excellent.
Speaker 10: That's a Turncycle Solutions out of Nashville, it's a general
contracting and weatherization company.
Speaker 6: But anyway, so.
Speaker 10: Positive street art, you know, years go by, I'm involved
with all their different programming everything. I try to be
as involved as I possibly can. A little over a
year ago, I came up with the idea. I was like,
you know what, I want to start doing something with
my music. Why don't I try to do that through
Positive street Art. So I talked to them and I
brought up the idea of starting an open mic, and
and they're like, yeah, that's a great idea, so let's
do it. So almost every almost once a month, I've
been I've been putting on the the open mic. It's
called Vicus Fox, which is Latin for Voice of the
City or voice of the street, and it's.
Speaker 6: It hasn't really taken off yet.
Speaker 10: I've been doing it for over a year, but hopefully
now that you know, I'm getting out there personally and
I'm trying to get as noticed as possible, other people
will be. They'll they'll want to come just to see me,
and maybe I could get some of them on the mic,
you know, because that's what I'm all about.
Speaker 6: I want to I want to bring everybody up. I
want to get everybody together.
Speaker 10: I want, I want, I want to collaborate with people,
you know, anybody, you know, if you know, uh yeah.
So so that's that's a that's a huge thing that
I that I want to mention is I'm all about collaboration.
You know, I'll work with anybody, and I want to
work with people.
Speaker 6: I want.
Speaker 10: I want to you know, share my talent with other
people and motivate other people that do the same thing
that I'm doing right now.
Speaker 8: So what I what I love about the whole you know,
your your whole story, the trajectory of We talk a
lot on the show about taking negative things, taking negative experiences,
and creating something positive out of them, right, creating art.
You know, people take trauma and then they make music
with it, you know, but your your story is an
example of that, but even on a on a higher level,
because you got into some trouble, so you had to
do community service, but you did that with positive street
art and then all the great things that came from
getting involved in that. So it's it's like, you know,
it's like, you know, taking something negative and creating art
with it, but on steroids, it's you know what I mean,
It's like, that's that's such a great story.
Speaker 10: And once you start that trajectory, it just keeps going.
You know, if you have the positive mindset and you
put that out in the universe, it's going to keep
flooding you with positive things. Yes, you know, I've over
the past eight years, my life is completely turned around.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 10: I'm I'm I own the nicest car I've ever owned,
the best job I've ever had, and I'm doing something
with my music finally, and I'm I'm meeting up with
a mortgage guy to try and buy a house. None
of this stuff was was even a thought in my
mind eight years ago. And then I got involved with
positive street art and and everything changed from you know,
all that, all that positivity that I was involved with
just surrounded my life, and I just, you know, I
kept taking every opportunity that came, and here I am
today on Matt connorton Radio, and no, We're.
Speaker 8: Glad you're here, and yeah, and and and so much
of it too. I think it is, you know, surrounding
yourself with positive people. Because sometimes I think Jenny and
I've had conversations about this with someone we know, h
off Air about you know, the importance of surrounding yourself
with people who are going to lift you up and
be good for you and be positive for you, and
staying away from people who are only going to bring
you trouble, right, you know, that's that that's such a
huge part of it.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 8: By the way, So when you play live, do you
do you ever perform with a band or is it
just you with backing tracks or how does that work?
Speaker 10: So it's right now, it's me with backing tracks. But
I would I would like to get together with a
band and and some other solo artists that play instruments.
Speaker 11: I want to do.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 10: I want to do an acoustic version of the album
as well. Yeah, change up the lyrics a little bit, yeah,
the melodies and things like that, and you know, create
a whole nother project with the same project. Yeah, you know,
and and and again, uh, work with other people so
that you know, we can bring this whole collective of
people up. I uh, I'm I'm working on some some
music videos and uh, and like like promo videos and
things like that. Yeah, right, to try and you know,
on social media to try and get people interested and listening.
So ideas for that, you know, They're like, there's there's
so much you can do, and I only have so
many ideas. So if anybody wants to throw some ideas
at me and and and maybe work with me or
or whatever, you know, I'm down for it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I wanted to mention I don't know how much time
we have left, but uh, I have a I do
have a show coming up. Oh yeah, yeah, in November,
November twenty fourth. It's going to be at the Jewel.
We'll be there right across Selfie. Yeah, Spelfie, we're involved. Yep, yep. Yeah,
that's awesome. So I don't know how the lineup is
going to go or anything like that, but but show
up at the beginning, stay till the end, and you'll
get to see me perform.
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, looking forward to that. Yeah, Spelfiefest is going
to be great if you go to actually, if you
go to Midnight Creatives Collective dot com Midnight Creatives Collective.
Want to make sure I say it right. Sometimes I
mess it up. But if you go there, yeah, you
can actually get tickets right through the website.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 8: And Jenny and I are going to be there. Jenny's
gonna have table, She's she's been making some amazing things,
and I'm gonna do I'm not sure exactly what it's
going to be. I'll kind of read the room and
see what people want, but I'm going to do some
kind of a hypnosystem and straight oh cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that'd be nice to see.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that'll be That'll be a lot of fun.
So yeah, So Spelfy Fest coming up, Yeah, November twenty
fourth at Jewel Yeah, it is right, I forget that.
Speaker 10: It's right across the street, and that's it's also a
benefit for rare pain disorders. Yes, they want to make
sure that I mentioned that.
Speaker 9: Ye really, the RSA organization that reflects sympathetic dystrophy.
Speaker 8: I do have CRPS.
Speaker 9: Okay, yep, So I'll be saying a few words on
behalf of the organization. But they're super excited about this
happening because it's it's it's rare to have fundraisers for
rare diseases. We don't get a heck of a lot
of attention, so this is super important.
Speaker 8: Yep. Yeah, we're uh yeah, we're very excited about it.
It's going to be amazing. And also, are you already
working on the next album?
Speaker 6: Or so right now, I'm I'm focusing more on trying
to get the live shows going.
Speaker 8: Yeah. And and because you strike me as someone who's
probably always.
Speaker 6: Writing yeah always yeah, so so I am you know.
Speaker 10: I actually uh, one when I was in the studio
getting all the stuff together, good Bars hooked me up
with with a beat that is going to be on
the next album. Cool yeah and uh and I have
a couple other tracks that I've worked on in the
past that I that I think are going to be
good for the next album.
Speaker 6: So I would say yes a little bit.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So so hopefully within the next year I'll have that out.
But again, I want to I want to work with
people I want, you know. So if if somebody's got
a beat and and they want they want they have,
you know, a space that's open on it, and they
want you know, some talented lyrics on there, then you know,
hit me up. I'll jump on the beat, we'll we'll
turn it into a video and yeah, we'll get it
out there as soon as possible.
Speaker 8: By the way, good Bars is in the chat room
and says six MC.
Speaker 6: Is the truth. Yeah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 8: Absolutely no, that's that's fantastic.
Speaker 5: Well we will.
Speaker 8: Uh we are approaching the top of the hour. So
did you want to finish out with in your hands?
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 8: You mentioned that one and you were saying, this one
is kind of the closest thing you have that's to
a rock song.
Speaker 10: Okay, all right until the next album because until yeah, yeah,
just the beat that I got from Good Bars, that's
that's like a solid rock song.
Speaker 6: Okay, it's gonna be good.
Speaker 8: Okay, cool, cool, And uh so before we play this
and finish out, what should people know about how to
find you online? Anything specific? You want to make sure
people know about how to how to reach out to you,
follow you keep up with everything that.
