00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:48.639 Um, sonically, um unorganized. 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:54.960 I don't I'm uh I'm like really on a like an experimental tip when it comes to music. 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.399 Um, at least as far as like my delivery and my sound. 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.919 Um, I know what I do well already is like an aggressive approach. 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:16.399 Um and I just keep it raw and authentic in those situations, but even within those moments, like my message is like I've always been one to move the needle, right? 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.960 And then just um spread like uplifting, motivational type lyrics, you know what I'm saying? 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:24.639 Like don't give up on yourself. 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.000 Like I've been there too, right? 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:26.960 Like, you feel me? 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.600 Like earlier in music, I was just having a lot more fun with it. 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:39.519 But even now, like, even when I do, I just do music as a hobby now, but even when I do, like, I can freestyle and be able to put together something that's more or less like make you feel like you're that you're that one. 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:40.480 You know what I'm saying? 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:41.440 Like, huh? 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:42.480 You freestyle? 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:43.840 Yeah, I'll be punching in. 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:49.440 Sometimes I can uh if I get a um if I have a little bit of liquor in me, I'll definitely just let something flow. 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:50.559 Yeah. 00:09:51.120 --> 00:10:02.639 Yeah, but um, yeah, no, I haven't wrote any lyrics in like I haven't written down a song since I'll probably say 2024. 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:03.919 2024. 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:08.480 I last time I actually sat down and actually put thought to paper and wrote down a song. 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:15.679 Um, but a lot of the music that I have recorded lately is just like I just went into there, just felt it in the moment and see what poured out. 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:31.600 But I've realized like I got a consistent pattern of just kind of just um making music or bars that you just feel like empowered to say like one I did recently with my um with one of the artists, three is called I'm Different. 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.480 You know what I'm saying? 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.360 It's and it's a lot more aggressive

approach, yeah, right? 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.519 But like the song just makes you feel like bro, I'm one of them ones, you know what I'm saying? 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:44.559 And not even like in a threatful way, but just like you can't be me or you can't replicate me. 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.000 Like that's the intent of the song. 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:56.159 And then the other song I did a freestyle with, um, I chose the beat, and uh, I had two friends, they're like, I mean, like the beat's hard, but I don't know how I would whatever, like, cool, let me set the tone, right? 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.919 Like, they're like, Yeah, let's see how you come on it. 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.559 And I and um we named it I'm the type freestyle. 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.840 And it's like, again, like I'm just the type of person to just go about things the way I want to go about them, right? 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.559 And it's it's a song that people can relate to, get crunked to, all that, you know, all at once. 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:23.360 Um and again, it's like it can my music just lately has just been kind of some like really lock in with yourself and be confident, and that's the message I want to always be able to deliver. 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.679 It's just like you can get away with a lot of things by just believing in yourself. 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.039 I love that. 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.000 Take me through your your recording process. 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:33.919 So, how do you pick your beats? 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:49.759 Um, I'll be a random day where I don't feel like listening to lyrics, and I'll go on YouTube where I have like beat packages in my phone or emails that I'll just skim through and I'll just play some beats, and when like it'll speak to me, like something will just come out of me to say something, right? 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:57.759 And like it'll be either a thought or a word, and um, it'll just kind of lay out the thesis or like the theme of like the approach I want to go to it. 00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:59.759 Um, so I'll stop there sometimes. 00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:03.600 Sometimes I'll write down a hook, sometimes I'll just think of a hook. 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:10.000 Um, and the fresher the thought, the better, because like the sooner I can get in the studio to do it, like I'll do it. 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:10.559 You know what I'm saying? 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.519 I was gonna ask you, how do you decide what to record? 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:14.399 Like, what do you say? 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:15.759 How do you say, okay, you know what? 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.879 This is worth recording. 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:28.879 Depending how like how much emotion it drawed from me in the moment that I listen to it, or sometimes I'll even just like um like I said, I don't go to the studio often, but I got the love of uh my boy German Engineering. 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.639 He uh very he supports everything that you know behind me and stuff like that. 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.559 Shout out to you, German engineering. 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:40.720 And um he'll toss me like some stew time, like yo, like just you know, come get some reps in and shit like that. 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:45.279 And it's also you know, I show you know, I toss him business and things of that nature, you know what I'm saying? 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:55.919 So it's um it's a good relationship, but he'll toss me some shit and I'll just be like, hey bro, I'm gonna throw you two beats that I really like, load one of them up, and then whatever I come up with, I'll come up with. 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.120 Like it's really unorthodox. 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:04.960 I don't have like a real a real system, yeah, structured system, yeah, because I'm not really too focused on being an artist right now. 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:13.919 Um more just learning the industry and stuff of that nature, but like I have the experience to I already know, like do something crazy. 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.960 Eventually I'm gonna go on like a crazy 90-day run of being an artist again and then just go back into hibernation. 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.320 Right, because you know, you never stop being an artist. 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.320 Once an artist, always an artist. 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.320 Yeah, yeah, it's within your blood for sure. 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.519 Yeah, the only thing that we do is choose when we want to showcase our art to the world. 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:39.120 Yeah, it's like, okay, right now I'm in the process of incubating my own art, you know, or I'm creating and I don't want to share it with nobody. 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:46.320 But um, that one brings me right into actually level four, which is from artist to host. 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:53.600 What made you realize your voice and personality could create opportunities beyond your own music? 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:55.679 And what has hosting taught you? 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.240 Um, it was funny, it's I always think about this. 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.600 Um, there's this one teacher, I wish I remember her name, but it was my math teacher in fifth grade. 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.440 I was just like talking to people. 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:12.240 Um, you know, I was I wasn't like a class clown, but like I also wasn't like a class angel. 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:18.480 But um, but I was like talking to somebody or whatever, and um, she's like, hey, like Ray, like she was a real sweet teacher. 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.039 She's like, hey Ray, like, need you to keep it down, okay? 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:29.279 She's like, I know you're not really being too loud, but you just have like a very powerful voice, and like, you know, people can hear you without you intentionally trying to, you know what I'm saying? 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.200 And I was like, Oh, my bad, you know what I'm saying?

00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:32.000 But like, I don't know. 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:36.159 I always like even as a kid, I just I was like, damn, I got a powerful voice, like you know what I'm saying? 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.879 And like yeah, that's what helped drive me musically too. 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:39.919 You know what I'm saying? 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:49.679 Um I maybe took it deeper than what she intended for me to, but like um just feeling like I have a fucking voice, you know what I'm saying? 00:14:49.840 --> 00:15:05.360 And um being an artist identifying like a lot of the struggles it is being an artist, um, you know, dealing with janky promoters, scammers, um, you know, not putting your money into the right places, not being on the right platforms, or platforms charging you for not the right things, right? 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:06.879 Like just for the sake of them. 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.200 Like, I understand it being on the host side now, like there's expenses that get put into place, right? 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:18.159 But still, if you're not providing the infrastructure of the platform for them to truly benefit, yeah, I don't think it's really fair to charge them and only charge them. 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:23.200 Yeah, right, like give them the opportunity to make some money or at least get some content or something out of it. 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:29.039 Like, that's why my events I structure it to be like it's not a pay to perform type situation. 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:36.720 There's either there's prize incentives usually, um, and then you'll get an interview and then you'll get a recap of your performance and you'll get a photo shoot. 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:37.519 Like, you know what I'm saying? 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.279 So you get content that you didn't essentially have to reach out and pay another person for because that's what I did. 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.080 You know what I'm saying? 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.279 Like that's that's the same thing I did with this platform. 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:55.759 So Let's Talk Music with the Godmother was created for artists and for people because um of that same reason, you know. 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:57.919 Um, I don't charge to be on the platform. 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:23.679 This is my way of giving back, you know, um because uh marketing and creating content is the most expensive part, you know, after music, you know, uh marketing yourself is the hardest part, and so having a platform where you can come on, talk about your music, talk about what you have going on, 10 levels, 10 videos, you know, and that's how I look at it. 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.879 That's my way of giving, and that's a that's a really good thing. 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.759 You know, I had a really good time posting with you in Tampa. 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:30.639 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:32.639 You're an amazing host. 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.440 Thank you. 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.840 By the way, guys, he is an amazing host. 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:42.000 One of the way you can be through um the entire company, you know. 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.320 Oh, uh turn your your thing down a little bit. 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.600 You are there we go. 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:51.519 You are an amazing host. 00:16:51.679 --> 00:17:08.240 And um if you guys, if you're watching and you haven't seen Ray Millions live, whether it's performing or hosting or whatever, I urge you now to find a way to get to your next your next event, which we're gonna talk at the end of the show, where people can find you next because you are dope. 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:08.640 Amen. 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:09.359 Thank you. 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.160 Thank you, and thank you, uh Zaddy, too, in the comments. 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.799 Yes, I see you in the comments. 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.200 Um, and God is gonna let me see. 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:17.599 Who's it?

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.960 Um a new friend, new partner for sure. 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:33.680 We're gonna definitely do some good business together and um, you know, just create memories and relationships that you know will benefit us mutually. 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.319 Um I was just with him before this, actually. 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.200 Yeah, I think it's a good idea. 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.279 We got red eyes, we got red eyes too. 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.079 Shout out Red Eye. 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.359 Shout out to Red Eye sponsoring this season, God is good. 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.559 So let's go to level six, the AR mindset. 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:55.680 As someone involved in AR, what do you look for when discovering an artist? 00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:02.319 Is talent enough, or are you also looking at work ethic, branding, character, business, and consistency? 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:04.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:10.880 It's all so like the the the the talent draws me first, right? 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:18.559 I want to be that person not want to, I'm going to be that person that could exploit talent. 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.119 Not not exploit, but explore talent, right? 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:26.799 Like, my bad, but explore the talent, right? 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:31.759 Like be able to identify because I understand, like, right now in this present day and age, like it's not just about talent, right? 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:33.039 That's what we always hear. 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:46.720 Um but um with the backing and the support that I have had with this company I work with called VRC, they taught me like you know, you can take someone from ground up, right? 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.279 Thus, thus,

though, the work ethic is there, you know. 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:52.880 So that's kind of where that comes in play. 00:18:52.960 --> 00:19:00.799 Like I can see, I'll notice you for your talent, I'll present an opportunity um based off your character, though. 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:01.920 Right, you know what I'm saying? 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.240 I judge people how you treat others or how you treat certain situations, right? 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:17.599 Um like for instance, like let's say I do come to an event, I see an artist, and you know, I had a great performance, the song was really dope, but then they walked off stage and walked out the building and left. 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:19.759 You know what I mean? 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:20.960 Like that's okay. 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.759 I can look at it as like maybe he just don't understand it yet, or maybe this guy just feels like he's too cool. 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:28.400 I'm not the type to work with that, you know what I'm saying? 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:35.200 I'm not the type to work with someone who feels like they're too cool and want to have that mysterious ego and make it feel like people gotta be drawn to them. 00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:47.839 No, because realistically, the more the most successful, and I don't mean as far as like streams and money they make, but the connections they make come off them being presentable and approachable. 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.839 And if you can't allow that for yourself, what am I going to do? 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:52.319 Amen. 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:53.359 You know what I'm saying? 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:54.720 Like that's real. 00:19:54.960 --> 00:20:04.000 And how did you get into so you went from artist to host to AR, which you're still hosting, but how did the AR thing come about? 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.039 Talk to me about that. 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:17.279 Um, like I said, so VRC, they go by very rare cinema, they're a production company at first, but then they you know they've uh allocated a lot of resources working within the industry in the uh in the industry, primarily in like the underground scene. 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:27.759 Um and uh they reached out to me earlier when they first they were doing like a like a what's the word? 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.559 Like a soft or kind of like a ghost launch, right? 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:43.519 Like they were doing the management, they were getting into the management development side of things and allocating their resources and their knowledge and stuff of that nature, but they weren't like publicly um advertising it, right? 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:48.480 Like you you wouldn't know VRC is what it is unless they reached out to you. 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:55.519 So they reached out to me unannounced to me how maybe they came across a video that was doing well, I don't know. 00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:04.480 But one of the members had reached out to me, like, hey, you know, we're starting this new thing, this is what we provide for artists, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.400 And I was like, Yeah, that sounds cool, but I want to be where you're at. 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.960 I just told them straight up, like I want to understand the game, you know what I mean? 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:18.799 Like, I'm a fair believer of like you can give a fish, give a man a fish and he'll eat for a nine, or you can teach him a fish and he'll eat for life. 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:26.640 So teach me the game, not just as a as a consumer, but like let me be the one to be able to teach it to others. 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:34.079 And I this was before I did my first event, but I had already had experience um helping coordinate and manage Red Eyes events. 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:44.559 So I was telling him, presenting him my idea of my first event, and like, you know, I really want to take on this leadership role and step away from like the artistry for a moment because I still need to understand it. 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.039 Like it it's a it takes a lot to be an artist. 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:48.799 Like I commend anybody that is. 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:59.599 Um me being in that experience and dealing with the situations that I've dealt with, I took heed, just put a different hat on, decided to rock a different title, and presented myself as. 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.759 Such and it when I told him that, he was just like, Yeah, you know what? 00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:05.680 We we we have room on our team. 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:07.279 Let me see if I could, you know what I'm saying? 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.240 And then from there, they trained me um of their system and how things work. 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.119 And I learned a lot from them, and I'll forever be grateful for that. 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:31.680 Um, and I'm still with them, but I've made it apparent that, like, hey, eventually I'm going to break off and have my own agency, but we can be in partner of because they obviously still have resources and connections that I'm not gonna like, you know, step on their toes for or anything like that, right? 00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:39.839 So I'd rather utilize that again as like a bridge and be like, you can start with me, and once I build you up to a certain stature, I'll hand you off to them. 00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:46.160 We can do some type of split percentage where you know I'm saying where I get a finder's fee for whatever artist or something and then move on from that. 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:48.720 And I told that to the CEO, and he's like, yo, he's all for it. 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:57.920 So I even they can see like I'm I was glad that I was able to have that conversation and then not be him trying to like belittle it or anything. 00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.200 He was like, Yeah, I'm all for it. 00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.359 Like, yeah, we're definitely like, you know, as we expand, we

want to have partnerships, you want to have da-da-da-da. 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.440 Because ideally, they don't want to have to always advertise, they want to just be able to do the work. 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:23.440 So having someone like me that already has um a connection and community of artists that I build up to a certain stature and then pitch it on over to them, that's less work that they have to do discovering artists, and that you know, essentially makes me like their AR in a sense. 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:29.839 And then um, but it's like through my own agency, so I still have my benefits and everything that the artists get from me. 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:40.319 And then when they're ready for uh to work with VRC, because one, their prices are going up because they're getting more resources and adding more value to their um agency. 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:49.119 So obviously, you know, money's tight, so I'm the more affordable option to get started with, and then you know what I'm saying? 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:55.039 Once you're built up to a certain statue, your your music is making you money, and you just need that extra level up. 00:23:55.119 --> 00:24:02.000 I'm sure I can be in a position to do it, but I'd much rather just be able to just I'm all about connecting people and connecting the dots. 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.799 Like I just want my goals to be the network, you know what I'm saying? 00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:07.440 You are, and and you're definitely that. 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:15.440 Um you're definitely that, which actually brings me to level seven, which is management and the business of music. 00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:20.400 Being an artist while also understanding management gives you both perspectives. 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:27.599 What are some of the biggest mistakes you see independent artists make when it comes to the business behind their creativity? 00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:35.519 Um, them not knowing um how much how much different ways they can make money off their music. 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:44.400 And then also getting lost in the sauce of like I feel like it's a common misconception of feeling like you need to post everything and anything. 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:46.079 Oh, I feel the same way about that. 00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.680 Yeah, you know what I mean? 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:52.559 Like if if if you're a content creator, influencer, that's a different approach, right? 00:24:52.720 --> 00:25:06.480 As an artist, though, you in anything you gotta think of your branding and marketing, but as an artist, like you gotta be what's the word I'm looking for, like a little more reserved to build that interest, to build that demand. 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.759 You know what I'm saying? 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:14.079 Like giving everybody everything they want, they get bored of you really fast. 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:25.519 So it's like create the interest, give them a bit of what they want, digress a bit, and then come out with like the big bang. 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.039 And that's what's you know what I'm saying? 00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:34.640 Like the strategies, there's different strategies to be implemented, but I feel like the common thing is like they don't they don't understand that structure, right? 00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:41.200 And then also like the main point to me is like not having your business logistics in place, like your BMI, your sound trust, your sound exchange. 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.640 Because like let's say hypothetically you do just blow up off a lucky chance, right? 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:50.799 And you're missing a lot of royalties that you're not collecting just because you didn't have your stuff already registered. 00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:51.279 Yeah. 00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:56.000 And then you know, the mainstream is gonna take that because it's just sitting there, you know what I'm saying? 00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:57.920 So yeah, give me that. 00:25:58.160 --> 00:25:59.119 People literally pay for that. 00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:06.160 So I feel like that common thing is just yeah, just having your business logistics right, um, and knowing what they are, you know what I'm saying? 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:16.160 So that you can be more presentable as an artist because you don't need to be famous or mainstream to be um successful, to make a living off of this, yeah, to be successful, yeah. 00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.400 Essentially, like you can get a core hundred people. 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:23.759 If you can get a hundred people to pay ten dollars a month, you make a thousand a month, and that's just on a small end, right? 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:24.240 Right? 00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.680 Like, and that some people jobs barely make them that much. 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.319 Yeah. 00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:29.200 You know what I'm saying? 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:41.839 You can find a core hundred people to spend ten dollars, whether you do a show every month, you drop in clothes, and ten dollars, like you can come up with easy, tangible ten dollar things, you know what I mean? 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:57.119 And it's just like you just gotta lock in on just having that retention with the people that actually rock with you, um, and honing in on those people, and I don't mean like friends and family, but the strangers that happen with you, like your friends and family aren't your target audience, they shouldn't be. 00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:07.680 They should be right, it can be your support system, they can help push, promote, put money in your pockets, whatever that system might look like, but essentially relying on them to make you famous is not is not realistic. 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.119 And I want to give this moment to ask you who are you? 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:16.160 Um, what artists are you currently working with or pushing or managing? 00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:29.200 Yeah, so in Tampa, where I'm at, we got three,

three ski, um, pretty girl rico, De Hey Villain, Ace B major, FGM Zay. 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.759 I'm not missing anyone, am I? 00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:33.039 You better not be. 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:34.000 I better not be. 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:35.759 I'll be a hole. 00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.880 Let me do that one time. 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:37.519 Rico. 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:45.119 Use your fingers three skis Ace De Hey Villain. 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:46.559 Yeah. 00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:50.960 And then I have um in Broward, he goes by Jaile. 00:27:51.440 --> 00:28:00.079 He stays in Broward, and then I have um two in Texas, one is OCT Word, the other one is OG Next. 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:02.960 Um, and then one in New York. 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:09.680 He formerly was known as JJ this uh JJ, but now he's changing his name to FA the Singer. 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.440 And so what do you what do you do with these artists? 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:20.720 Um, so I give him like a roadmap as far as like understanding what it is to be like a developed artist. 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:26.000 So like first two weeks is kind of getting like the I call it the icebreaker weeks. 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:34.640 So it's like getting to understand him, who he is, what he represents, where he comes from, so we can understand how to shape that into his um his identity, right? 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:58.720 Because some people overlook the small things, like right, like when I asked somebody like what started you you in music, it was like, uh, you know, I mean, I don't know, I think I just kind of then he started jogging his memories, like, oh my homeboy, oh yeah, and oh, and I'm like, Yeah, see, don't forget these things because these are things that you can implement in your story, like music should be a story that you tell, whether it's sonically or visually. 00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:03.599 Um, so I get him to understand like that um part of um branding, right? 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:09.920 Like it doesn't have to necessarily be do shenanigans and the things that's gonna get you viral if that's the angle you want to take, sure. 00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:21.759 But if you want to just have like an authentic, real um approach and fan base, um, you need to understand more than the surface level of music and like get to know who you are. 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:24.319 Some people don't feel like reflect on themselves enough. 00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:27.039 So that's another conversation, yeah. 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:34.319 Yeah, that's another conversation that can ultimately make be the pivot of what you know what you're looking to get out of music. 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.200 You know what I'm saying? 00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:42.000 I think right now, especially with the whole AI AI age, people want to get more personable and feel actual emotion and know what you know what I'm saying. 00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:46.880 Like, that's why like a lot of the content that's driven right now is just people talking to their phones. 00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:48.400 Yeah, you know what I'm saying? 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:56.079 So I try people to get to understand that like you can implement this into your music, into your content, and um be able to capitalize off of it. 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:06.960 So the first two weeks is just understanding that foundation, and then after um going into week three, week four, it's then okay, strategizing the content to present that, right? 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.759 Like, quick example of OCT word, like he's real business oriented, right? 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:16.319 Like sometimes we'll be on the phone for a meeting call, and he'd be like, Oh man, hold on, bro. 00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:17.279 Like, I gotta close the deal. 00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:18.000 You know what I'm saying? 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:21.200 And I was like, I'm not gonna stop a man from making his money, you know what I'm saying? 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.480 So close your deal. 00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:30.480 I told him, I was like, you need to sit down and think about um how you can kind of blend both worlds, right? 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:41.519 Like there's artists like um, I don't know if he'll be a great example, but just off the top of the mainstream head, money man, um, how he talks about you know assets and stocks and things of that nature. 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.119 I'm like, if you have that sort of knowledge, take that route, right? 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.839 Like this is that's the world you live in, right? 00:30:47.920 --> 00:31:06.160 You talking about closing deals and stocks and stuff of that nature, implement that in the music and implement that in the content, and like our content direction is um I'm more than an artist, and it'll show like like every post will start like I'm more than an artist, and it'll show a different aspect of his life, and then like you know, play have his song playing in the background or something like that, right? 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:25.200 But people will be tuned in more into the like the personal aspect of like what he does and how he does it, and then they'll catch the music on the back end where he can drop a little hint, like hey, you know, while y'all tuned in, like you'll see, like when the numbers are going up, and you can, you know, we're we're gonna watch the watch time, see where people drop off or where you know where the highlight points at, so we know where we can implement like the teaser for the music, right? 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:34.720 So it'll be like, for instance, you know, he's talking about how he closed the deal this day or whatever, and like his songs play in the background, but yo, you know, at 10 seconds is when it spikes. 00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:35.599 Okay, boom. 00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.079 At this 10 second mark, we need to implement. 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.319 Um, hey, yo, by the way, you know, this song that you hear in the

background is out right now. 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:46.000 Maybe raise the volume a little bit and then go back to what the video was intended for. 00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:47.440 Like, you know what I'm saying? 00:31:47.599 --> 00:32:05.519 Finessing it in there, like there's you know what I'm saying, just different directions, and um that's just an example for one, but yeah, like it's just the goals of just figuring out what you want to represent and getting that image and brand identity right, and then implementing that into your content and putting people in your world, right? 00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:13.359 Like, one question I ask artists and every artist should ask themselves is if they cut if we were to cut the sound off and just see you, right? 00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:15.119 I'm just watching a music video. 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.519 What's one thing you want me to understand about you? 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:19.759 And then the same thing, vice versa. 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:26.160 If I'm never heard of you, never seen you, and your song comes on, what's one thing you want me to feel? 00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:35.599 So it's like, y'all, is once you understand both of those and implement it together, you're going to create a world around your music that people can gravitate towards. 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:38.400 And if it's a hundred people, 200, 3 people, you know what I'm saying? 00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:39.839 There's a billion people in the world. 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:42.960 Yeah, you just need to hone in on like a small amount of people. 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:48.480 If you again, if you can get a thousand people to pay ten dollars a month, you're making ten thousand a month. 00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:52.559 That is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of what's actually possible. 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:58.480 I love that, which would actually bring me straight into level eight, which is building the brand. 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:08.880 How important have relationships, collaborations, and personal branding and branding being in growing Ray millions beyond just music? 00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:17.680 How important is it to have in um to have uh relationships and collaborations in branding? 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:23.039 Well, one you learn a lot, right? 00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:28.319 There's different structures and different approaches, and there's something that you can implement into your own game. 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:38.400 Uh another thing is there's a very high chance you know a lot of people that don't know me and vice versa. 00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:42.720 So that collaboration could will bring eyes to both of us, right? 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.839 Especially if it's um if it's done right, you know what I'm saying? 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:52.319 Whether it's a sponsorship or us collaborating collaborating, if they see me, they see you, they see you, they see me, right? 00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.279 And your audience may be like, oh,

like who is this? 00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:57.359 Or my audience may be like, oh, who is this, right? 00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.480 And it helps just kind of shape something, and it can shape something new. 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:11.440 Um and then as far as like with that being said, too, like you being able to connect certain dots helps your name, right? 00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.239 Like let's say I know this brand over here and this brand over there. 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:17.519 I'm like, yo, I think you guys will do great business together, right? 00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:18.559 You know what I'm saying? 00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:25.280 And whatever your whatever my pitch would be would be the pitch, and then they make something happen, they make something happen. 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.880 Now you just connected the dots, and then again, it can just start something new, right? 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.679 And then it could benefit you or it can just benefit them. 00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:37.519 Me, I you know, me just connecting the dots, putting people on, I that's all I care about. 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:38.159 You know what I'm saying? 00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:39.920 Like again, I just care about being a network. 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:40.480 You feel me? 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.760 If I get compensated in any way for it, cool freaking beans. 00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:48.639 But um ideally though, it's just about, like I said, just connecting those dots, right? 00:34:48.719 --> 00:35:01.920 And being able to build an infrastructure that when it comes time to like someone like me trying to do something of a mass scale, I'll hit up Michelle, I'll hit up, I'll hit up, I'll hit up because we've been already doing good business together. 00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:13.440 So boom, now when I present this big ass opportunity that we can all eat off of, it's already laid out in there, and we know how to work with each other because we've already worked with each other, we know which roles will be represented. 00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:15.920 Like everything should be thought of for future reference. 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:18.559 Like that's literally why my brand is called 4FR. 00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:20.480 Literally for future reference. 00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:22.239 For future reference. 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:23.599 Yeah, I love that. 00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.480 Everything we do now holds weight in the future. 00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:27.199 Amen. 00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:28.480 Amen. 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:29.679 I'm loving this. 00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.440 You have a very you I love the way you communicate. 00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:35.519 I'm still working on it. 00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:38.079 You're working on it, but you're doing a great job. 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:39.440 You're doing a really great job. 00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:40.800 I'm really, really proud of you. 00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:41.679 I appreciate it. 00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:48.800 I know that your future is bright, and and I'm really excited to see what is in store for you in the future, you know?

00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:08.159 And which one do you believe will play the biggest part in your legacy? 00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:09.920 See, it's crazy. 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:11.679 I've been talking about that recently. 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:20.400 Um to sum it up, it all goes hand in hand. 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:25.840 If I feel like only three people really know my endgame. 00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:34.239 Well, I don't say end because it'll be the start of new beginnings, but like it all is part of a melting pot. 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:35.360 Right? 00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:41.280 Like everything I'm doing is very meticulous, and it's gonna it can be a five-year, it can be a ten-year plan. 00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:43.920 Um right now it's at the trajectory. 00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:50.320 I feel like it's looking like it'll be completed in five, but um, you know, Lord behold and God willing. 00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:57.599 But I'm still trying to figure out the balance, right? 00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:01.920 Like I'm still trying to get myself in an organized position where I can make it make sense. 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.639 Right now, I'm kind of just doing a lot of things and kind of just having like mentally retaining it up here. 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:13.199 Um, but I was I literally this past month I've been talking about having a better infrastructure organization. 00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:20.639 Like I'm getting a um website built, uh, I need to get a planner, uh, I'm getting like Google Forms situated, I'm getting like, you know what I'm saying? 00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:25.599 I'm getting all my logistics and stuff right because things are kind of like steamrolling. 00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:41.599 Um and as of recently, I have made a decision, like I'm gonna just kind of cut back on a lot of like collaborations that I've been doing with people so I can be able to focus on the foundation that I intentionally came in here with and uh because I was getting carried away and getting pulled away um from what I intentionally did, right? 00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:52.000 So to kind of answer your question, what do I feel like will like my bread and butter is um like I call myself a platform builder, okay? 00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:52.480 Right?

last to have legacy, build something that does not exist because that's what you're building. 00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:05.039 There is no balance, you will lose sleep. 00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:09.599 You there is no idea, you can't, it's not real. 00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:17.679 You will get to that when you reach your goal, that's when the balance comes. 00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:21.199 When the when you actually have that balance in your account. 00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:26.000 That's the balance, you know. 00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:35.519 So until then, you hold your head above water and you keep pet you keep peddling and you keep going because there is no balance. 00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:44.400 The balance is work your ass off until you get the financial balance in your account that will allow you to balance your life out. 00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:53.519 So say, okay, now I can sleep a little bit longer because I have the balance in my account that allows me to grow that. 00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:00.400 And um, which is gonna take me into level 10, which is the godmother level. 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:03.039 And I wanna ask you, how old are you? 00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:04.719 So what? 00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:05.760 How old are you? 00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.320 Uh I turned 27 in December. 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:09.679 I'm 26 right now. 00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:10.880 That is good. 00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:14.239 Okay, so in 30 years, you'll be 57. 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:15.119 Okay. 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:18.159 So let's let's go to uh 57. 00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:22.480 You're 57 years old and we are in your living room. 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:26.159 We are about to do a Netflix documentary on your life. 00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:32.000 I want you to tell me one, who's in that room with us?
