This podcast episode is brought to you by AB Music Creative.
01:12.6
And the podcast will begin in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
01:18.6
Ladies and gentlemen, live at Paco's Place, Anna Mori with Cairo.
01:27.1
Thank you for having us.
01:31.6
I'm gonna start there. I'm a fan.
01:33.1
I heard about you when I had Ellie Buendia on the podcast and we were talking about the artists offshore.
01:40.6
Tapos your name came up and then after that, I started listening to your music.
01:49.1
And I was, how do I say, impressed, enamored, and parang wow.
01:55.1
And then ikaw naman, last time I saw you, you were a baby.
02:00.1
Because I left 20 years ago.
02:03.1
Tapos pabalik-balik lang ako.
02:05.1
Tapos when Eon was here, you mentioned na bandmates kayo.
02:12.1
But the two of you, you're a very awesome drummer, by the way.
02:16.6
Right? And I was asking Ellie, who produced or did the tracks to your songs?
02:26.6
Well, me and my producer, Tim, who's also my boyfriend, we worked together and we co-produced the tracks.
02:37.1
He's mainly on the engineer side so she does a lot of DAWs and I do a lot of vocal arrangement and other things.
02:48.1
Okay, I'm gonna start with you first. So wala tayong script, diba?
02:52.1
Pag-usapan natin yung dynamics niya ni Tim.
02:55.1
Because it's very interesting because si Billie Eilish, ang kapartner niya is kapatid niya.
03:01.1
And sometimes ang magkapatid nag-aaway, right?
03:04.1
Songwriting duo yung dalawang yan. I mean, pag nag-aaway silang dalawa, tapos ang negosyo.
03:10.6
So kayo ni Tim, ano ang usapan going into your career before it came to be?
03:17.6
Right. Well, I think it's a nice dynamic with me and Tim because we respect each other's creativity.
03:28.6
We have different, you know, inspirations when it comes to writing music and also we have different listens.
03:36.1
But we know what we like and it syncs and that's like the awesome part about me and Tim working together.
03:46.1
But what it all started was, me and Tim, we were classmates in college in Binyald as music production students.
03:58.1
And our finals was to make an EP.
04:01.6
And I was doing my own thing, you know.
04:06.6
Not yet. Not really.
04:08.6
We were just kind of...
04:11.6
Like, we were best friends that time.
04:14.6
Yan ang mga best friends.
04:17.6
But we started working.
04:21.6
Well, I wanted to work with him because I knew he's an awesome producer.
04:27.1
And I was a fan of his band, One Click Straight and his production.
04:31.1
So, I tapped into him and yeah, we...
04:35.1
At that time, we were kind of like friends, you know.
04:39.1
Like, we're still...
04:40.1
We kind of like each other but we haven't, you know...
04:42.1
He had a huge crush on her already.
04:45.1
Yeah, he had a huge crush on her.
04:48.1
Hindi naman ako magtataka, okay?
04:51.1
So, and then, you know...
04:53.1
Wait, wait, wait. What was the first song?
04:54.1
Is it on Spotify?
04:56.6
Yes, it's on Spotify.
04:57.6
It's called Gotcha Good.
05:00.6
May exclamation point din ba to sa title?
05:05.6
But it's very, I would say, college.
05:08.6
You know, I just wanted to try something
05:10.6
because I've never, you know, pushed myself as a songwriter
05:14.6
to actually release something.
05:16.6
I've always written something but it was always in the shelf.
05:19.6
Like, it was a shelf music.
05:20.6
And my main was...
05:24.1
I was a pianist at, you know, as a main.
05:28.1
So, that was branching out as a songwriter
05:32.1
was very, like, out of my comfort zone.
05:36.1
So, that was the first song that I released, Gotcha Good.
05:39.1
But I wasn't really even planning to release it.
05:42.1
I just wanted to finish my...
05:46.1
thesis by doing three songs in the EP.
05:49.1
So, all the three songs that I released the first three songs,
05:52.6
Gotcha Good, Walk Away, and Light,
05:54.6
those are, like, my college project.
05:57.6
So, Gotcha Good, Walk Away, and Light.
06:03.6
Anong inspirasyon mo dun sa tatlong kanta na iyon?
06:08.6
I guess it was just...
06:11.6
At that time, I was listening to a lot of
06:15.6
pop singers that I admired, that I found interested in.
06:22.1
I was very obsessed with Sigrid.
06:25.1
She's a, I think, Norwegian singer.
06:30.1
And she's a very good songwriter as well.
06:33.1
And I was obsessed with her.
06:34.1
And I wanted to study her and I wanted to, you know,
06:38.1
try to understand what her production sounds like.
06:43.1
Nagaling. I like the way she's talking about it.
06:46.1
Cairo, the way her production sounds like.
06:51.6
Oh, I like the song.
06:52.6
Ikaw hindi. Nagsis second level, third level.
06:55.6
Yeah, I'm just, like, microscoping.
06:59.6
So, pinag-aralan mo siya and what song came out of that?
07:03.6
Was it Walk Away? Was it Light? Was it Gotcha Good?
07:06.6
I think a bit of everything.
07:10.6
I think Light was, like, the most...
07:12.6
You could hear my inspiration through her production.
07:18.1
And, you know, that was kind of my reference also to Tim.
07:21.1
That, you know, I think starting to write songs,
07:25.1
you have to kind of know how to imitate.
07:29.1
Yeah, so I think that's how I started.
07:31.1
It's not always, you know, good to have, like,
07:34.1
very obvious pegs because, you know,
07:37.1
you want to be authentic as possible.
07:39.1
But starting out, I just wanted to learn
07:43.1
how to make that sound so I could kind of branch out.
07:47.6
Yeah, so Light was one of the things
07:49.6
that you could probably hear from...
07:51.6
So, you weren't signed at this point, right?
07:54.6
It was just you, Tim, coffee, kwentuhan.
08:00.6
So, finally, the three songs...
08:03.6
Because, you know, finals.
08:04.6
Yes, thesis defense, mga gano'n.
08:07.6
Pa'no nga ba nagawa ang lasal?
08:08.6
If you didn't know.
08:11.6
Oh, what do you mean?
08:13.1
Like, pa'no na gawa yung lasal?
08:15.1
Yung de lasal, pa'no na gawa yun?
08:18.1
Ah, pa'no? Sorry.
08:21.1
Do you know how...
08:23.1
Do you know how lasal was created?
08:27.1
Ah, binealed. Anyway.
08:31.1
That was so, um...
08:43.1
So, you had a dream, right?
08:46.1
And Anna Maury is your real name?
08:49.1
Actually, my actual name is Anna Villia. Villia is my last name.
08:54.1
But Maury is my mom's last name.
08:56.1
But see, it's still your name, right?
08:58.1
Yeah, it's still my name.
08:59.1
So now, what was the dream?
09:01.1
And the reason why I'm asking this, this podcast is meant to inspire and inform people.
09:05.1
And I want the audience to see na everything is possible.
09:10.6
Because you made it happen.
09:12.6
You did not wait for it to happen.
09:14.6
I'll get to you, ha, Cairo?
09:15.6
But you did not wait for it to happen.
09:17.6
You were making it happen.
09:19.6
Sleepless nights.
09:21.6
Of course, may frustrations nakasama yon.
09:24.6
But what was the dream?
09:29.6
Actually, I really didn't think to, you know...
09:32.6
My dream wasn't to become like,
09:34.6
Oh, yeah, I want to be a singer-songwriter and tour everywhere.
09:39.1
It wasn't really like that.
09:40.1
It's more of like,
09:41.1
I just want to make something that I'll be proud of when I look back.
09:47.1
And it's always a challenge and always, you know, humps and bumps.
09:52.1
I can't really, you know, tell what I want to do.
09:55.1
You know, 10 years from now,
09:57.1
I might be doing electronic music and no, you know, instrumental or, you know, whatever it may be.
10:04.6
My dream is just to do what I like and possibly make living out of it.
10:11.6
And, you know, just stay inspired.
10:15.6
Yeah, that's really my dream.
10:17.6
Paano ka na sign sa Offshore?
10:20.6
I think one of the Offshore members saw my live video
10:28.6
and I think they went to my gig once, which I was very nervous about.
10:34.1
Do you remember who went to your gig?
10:35.1
I think it was Pat.
10:38.1
It was Pat and also Sam.
10:39.1
When Pat and Sam came to you, were you pinching yourself?
10:44.1
I was, you know, the concept of being signed in a record label is not really,
10:49.1
like I wasn't established yet.
10:51.1
I was almost kind of like, I'm still looking to, you know, have my sound
10:57.1
and I wasn't really established yet.
10:59.6
So I very like blindly, I didn't know anything.
11:04.6
So it was a shock to me also that, you know, they found it, my music interesting.
11:09.6
And I'm very grateful that.
11:11.6
That's actually, that was actually documented.
11:13.6
Ellie actually said the same thing on the podcast.
11:16.6
That your music is interesting and you're interesting.
11:20.6
So now dumating si Pat at si Sam, what was the conversation between you and Tim?
11:26.6
Now this is getting to be real.
11:29.6
Well, I've always, you know, it wasn't very like a difficult decision for me.
11:35.1
You know, I didn't really have any experience.
11:40.1
So I just really wanted to, you know, go for it.
11:44.1
I'm glad that I did.
11:45.1
Paano naman kayo nagkakilala ang dalawa?
11:47.1
Was it through the label or kayong dalawa magkakilala na kayong dalawa?
11:52.6
Tim's his childhood friend, kind of like related childhood friends.
11:59.6
So did Tim actually tell you, I have a crush on this girl?
12:02.6
Ah, I want to hear that story.
12:04.6
How do guys talk about that?
12:06.6
Very interesting story.
12:10.6
We have a mutual friend, Nathan.
12:13.6
And I'm really close with Nathan.
12:15.6
I don't know if you know Nathan Hwang.
12:19.6
My Nathan is your tito na eh.
12:20.6
Si Nathan Azarco also.
12:22.1
But yeah, we caught up one day and it was with Tim.
12:28.1
And since I wasn't with them in Baniyod, I was asking like, how's music production?
12:35.1
Because I was thinking of applying myself.
12:37.1
And Nathan just kept calling Tim this name.
12:43.1
And I was like, who in the world is Emma?
12:47.1
I don't know this.
12:48.6
They showed me this photo of her.
12:50.6
And it was the most Japanese looking photo.
12:54.6
You did not look that way.
12:56.6
Were you in makeup?
12:58.6
You had orange hair, ata?
13:01.6
Or it was like ombre?
13:04.6
Ombre was a thing, guys.
13:06.6
It was a thing before.
13:08.6
So you were intrigued.
13:10.6
So ibig sabihin, may look na talaga si Emma nung time palang nayon.
13:18.1
For Tim, I was very...
13:20.1
Because I knew all the other...
13:24.1
Oh, are we gonna go there?
13:26.1
So I was like, whoa, okay. Cool.
13:28.1
Let's go, Tim. Let's go.
13:30.1
So isn't it weird na...
13:34.1
Nung time na to, kabanda mo na ba si Eon nung time na to?
13:39.1
Not yet, not yet.
13:41.1
Isn't it weird na pag finesse forward natin, lahat kayo may degrees of separation?
13:46.6
Like, you're signed to a label na pag-aari ng tatay na kabanda mo
13:52.6
na dinendate niya kababata mo.
13:57.6
Na ngayon, kayong dalawang magkasama.
14:01.6
So, did you ever think na you'd be playing with Ena?
14:08.6
I remember the first time watching Ena.
14:13.1
Ena had another drummer before me.
14:20.1
And I remember watching them in Saguiyo
14:22.1
and it was her old songs from her EP.
14:27.1
Then and there, I was such a big fan already.
14:30.1
I did not know that Tim helped produce.
14:35.1
I didn't know that Ena actually wrote her own songs and produced as well
14:39.6
because I knew her from her old band she used to session for, Dayo.
14:44.6
So, I did not know that she had her own thing.
14:47.6
It was such a different music from what she used to play.
14:53.6
So, it was really just something new.
14:56.6
And Cairo, when you watched Ena sa Saguiyo,
15:00.6
was it by chance or...
15:03.6
Let me check this girl out.
15:04.6
This episode is brought to you by Leo Bato and Associates.
15:12.1
Were you there for someone else?
15:15.1
I think I played.
15:18.1
For either Elise or Nobody's Home.
15:20.1
I'm not really sure.
15:21.1
Okay, so back to back.
15:23.1
I don't remember this.
15:27.1
I remember that the first time that we ever worked with Cairo
15:32.1
is not really my project.
15:35.1
It's Tim's project.
15:37.1
It gets confusing.
15:38.6
Tim had his own solo project called Timothy Run
15:42.6
and he needed a drummer that could possibly go to Bangkok
15:48.6
to perform for that day.
15:50.6
And I also had one show.
15:54.6
So, we kind of just asked,
15:57.6
Okay, can you just do two bands?
15:59.6
Can you play for two bands?
16:00.6
And then he agreed and we started rehearsing.
16:05.1
And yeah, he was great.
16:08.1
He's just perfect.
16:09.1
He passed the audition.
16:12.1
Did you know that his dad was a famous drummer?
16:14.1
Well, I knew after.
16:17.1
Did you know that your dad is a famous drummer?
16:23.1
And that your mom is an awesome singer?
16:25.1
Did you know that?
16:28.1
Especially now, huh?
16:30.1
You just found out today?
16:33.1
Their album, Ascension, when they had their own music.
16:36.6
I mean, it's a different kind of appreciation now.
16:39.6
Now that I have a different appreciation for music.
16:43.6
But I would go to dad's gigs a lot.
16:47.6
He would bring me everywhere.
16:49.6
Yeah, what do you know?
16:50.6
Shout out to Tito Ryan.
16:54.6
Love you, Tito Ryan.
16:57.1
Yeah, he really helped
17:01.1
just sort of grow my love for music in a different,
17:04.1
in the right way.
17:05.1
But you've been exposed to music since you were a baby.
17:08.1
Actually, your mom was pregnant with you.
17:10.1
She was performing.
17:11.1
She was already still singing.
17:13.1
I don't even know if she knew that she was pregnant.
17:17.1
But then again, right?
17:18.1
Is Tito Ira your ninong?
17:22.6
But your time growing up and music was all around you.
17:28.6
Was it natural for you to pick up the drums?
17:31.6
Do you sing also?
17:35.6
So when did you know that you were going to be like your dad?
17:39.6
I don't really know.
17:40.6
When did you know that you're better than your dad?
17:44.6
I actually started in church.
17:51.1
That's where they go.
17:52.1
I was forced to audition with some friends.
17:57.1
So I didn't really know how to play well.
18:01.1
And I was playing for a couple of weeks already.
18:05.1
And there was this one weekend
18:08.1
that they asked the young kids to play in the adult service.
18:13.1
And then dad decided to finally watch.
18:17.1
And he was so confused.
18:20.6
Oh, you didn't play?
18:22.6
Or you didn't tell him?
18:23.6
No, because I wouldn't really practice in the house.
18:26.6
I didn't really like playing while he was around.
18:30.6
I didn't really like to add weight.
18:36.6
I mean, see, I'm taller than your dad.
18:39.6
But when we're sitting together, we're kind of the same height.
18:41.6
We're like drummers.
18:43.6
We're just about the same height when we're sitting together.
18:45.6
He's very intimidating, especially when he opens his eyes.
18:52.1
Very intimidating, but very nice.
18:57.1
He helped us so much for this.
18:59.1
Actually, he helped us with South by Southwest
19:03.1
because we needed a lot of help when it comes to gear.
19:08.1
Is it just the two of you in South by Southwest?
19:11.1
Usually, I have a trio band with Tim as keys.
19:15.6
But Tim couldn't make it due to work conflicts.
19:19.6
Me and Kyra needed to figure out how to go there.
19:22.6
She had to create stems, backing tracks, all that stuff.
19:25.6
He really helped us with the setup.
19:29.6
The most efficient way for us to set up and set down
19:33.6
because that's the struggle.
19:38.6
What's the best gear to invest?
19:42.1
I guess I had a good stuff.
19:46.1
But the chords were messy.
19:49.1
He's very organized.
19:54.1
That was a big help.
19:57.1
You guys are young.
19:58.1
You're doing South by Southwest.
20:00.1
When you found out that you were going to do South by Southwest,
20:03.1
what was going through your head?
20:06.1
I even forgot that my profile was sent to South by
20:11.6
because I didn't expect at all.
20:13.6
Actually, my manager, Ms. Odds,
20:17.6
that's sitting right there,
20:19.6
she submitted my profile.
20:21.6
I think secretly.
20:24.6
By the way, I submitted to South by South.
20:27.6
Okay, never going to happen.
20:31.6
I just forgot about it for months.
20:35.6
When we got the invitation,
20:37.6
I was just shocked.
20:41.1
I don't know what to do now.
20:47.1
How are we going to do this?
20:48.1
It was a very big shock
20:50.1
because obviously that's one of every artist.
20:54.1
Top board you need.
20:55.1
That's on the bucket list.
20:58.1
I never thought that I'll be able to play.
21:04.1
This timing after COVID,
21:07.1
it was just a shock.
21:12.6
You were not part of the original lineup
21:14.6
or were you part of the original lineup
21:16.6
to go to South by Southwest?
21:19.6
When you found out that you were going,
21:21.6
what was your reaction?
21:23.6
When I say you, your mom, your dad.
21:27.6
Because if I'm your son,
21:32.6
Because none of us,
21:33.6
my mom has gone to the States,
21:35.6
but she was like 18.
21:38.1
It was really a shock.
21:41.1
The first thing that went through my head
21:46.1
I study in Baguio now.
21:48.1
I would go up to Baguio every Sunday night,
21:52.1
have class from Monday to Wednesday.
21:54.1
I go down Thursday,
21:55.1
have rehearsals with her every Friday.
21:57.1
And then go back up again on Sunday?
21:59.1
And then have gigs with her
22:00.1
like Saturdays, Sundays.
22:04.1
That was my life for a month.
22:07.6
But we really needed Cairo.
22:09.6
Because Cairo, you know,
22:11.6
well, I love, you know,
22:14.6
just backing tracks and all of that.
22:16.6
But me and Tim really focus on the drums
22:19.6
because drums are like the
22:21.6
the base of everything.
22:25.6
I just really like,
22:27.6
you know, he's very skillful,
22:29.6
but also his patch,
22:31.6
I call it a patch,
22:32.6
but he had, yeah,
22:34.6
because we're producers.
22:38.1
His sound that he has.
22:40.1
That comes from how he plays.
22:44.1
it's very specific that we,
22:46.1
we just think that it's perfect
22:50.1
And you know what's nice about this guy
22:51.1
because I've seen videos of this guy.
22:53.1
Cairo, what's beautiful about you is
22:57.1
is not machine-like,
23:00.1
but it melds with machine,
23:02.1
it melds with stems and all that,
23:04.1
but it's very organic.
23:06.6
Thank you so much.
23:07.6
That's, well, that's the hope.
23:09.6
Yeah, well, especially for Endless Music
23:11.6
because the first time
23:13.6
I heard, let's say, the album,
23:15.6
everything was like
23:19.6
and that was kind of the struggle,
23:23.6
Yeah, how to humanize this.
23:25.6
Especially when we sat down
23:27.6
for rehearsals, Tim and I were,
23:29.6
because Tim is a really great drummer as well,
23:31.6
so both of us were working
23:33.6
on the patterns and all that,
23:40.1
Everything was really intentional,
23:44.1
Everything is very intentional.
23:47.1
Ang life nyo ba ganun din?
23:55.1
But we're very particular,
23:58.1
especially for the drums
24:00.1
because everything else is back in track,
24:04.6
Well, obviously, there's production
24:06.6
and all of that, but it's lifeless.
24:08.6
It's the same every single time,
24:10.6
every single event.
24:12.6
So it's your voice, I'm sorry,
24:14.6
your voice and his drums
24:16.6
sandwiching the stems, right?
24:20.6
So yung buhay manggagaling,
24:22.6
it's gonna come from your voice,
24:24.6
it's gonna come from his playing.
24:28.6
And then when Tim's here,
24:30.6
he plays the keys,
24:33.1
so we try to be...
24:35.1
Not just keys, a lot of things.
24:37.1
But we try to be intentional,
24:40.1
especially for drums,
24:42.1
and also which part to play
24:45.1
and which part not to play.
24:47.1
Even to the point of how to hit
24:49.1
in specific sections.
24:51.1
Just to get the sound that...
24:55.1
Shuffle grooves are very particular.
24:57.1
Very particular, yeah.
24:59.6
Buying the perfect clap style
25:02.6
to complement the electronic feel.
25:05.6
What's in your kit,
25:07.6
if you don't mind?
25:08.6
So there's a basic kit.
25:09.6
A basic kit, yeah.
25:11.6
I use a 20-inch EFX Crash,
25:13.6
23-inch Sweet Ride.
25:15.6
They're all hand-me-downs from dad,
25:17.6
but I really love...
25:23.6
How about the electronics part?
25:28.1
I have a clap stack on my left
25:31.1
and a remote hi-hat, 10-inch.
25:35.1
Special recording.
25:36.1
What about you, Tom?
25:37.1
But for tour, there was a lot.
25:40.1
Yeah, you had a djembe.
25:41.1
We also had a brush.
25:43.1
Yeah, for just four bars.
25:45.1
Just for four bars.
25:46.1
What about you, Anna?
25:47.1
Do you appreciate the fact
25:48.1
that this awesome drummer,
25:52.1
is very articulated
25:54.1
even with the gear that he brings?
25:57.6
We're always surprised.
25:59.6
we're always surprised
26:00.6
that, oh my goodness,
26:02.6
Because I remember,
26:06.6
I think it was like a siren
26:08.6
because I wanted a siren
26:09.6
in one of the songs.
26:11.6
And then he was like,
26:12.6
oh, I think I have two
26:13.6
or something like that.
26:14.6
I was looking for the maracas.
26:16.6
Oh, yeah, maracas.
26:17.6
I was like, wait,
26:18.6
maybe we can try with the maracas.
26:19.6
Shakers or something.
26:20.6
He was like, what color?
26:21.6
I have three different kinds.
26:23.6
I was like, oh my goodness.
26:26.1
Because of the drum circle business.
26:28.1
Yes, the drum circle.
26:29.1
The storage room.
26:30.1
The first time Tim and Anna
26:32.1
went to the house,
26:33.1
I brought them to the room
26:34.1
and they were like,
26:35.1
what is this place?
26:36.1
Do you make paalam?
26:41.1
But the most shocked
26:42.1
that they were with the gear
26:47.1
They were so happy
26:48.1
because we bring so much gear.
26:52.1
That was mind-blowing.
26:55.6
I should have done that.
26:59.6
Do you bring keyboards?
27:02.6
I bought a new keyboard
27:04.6
just to bring here
27:05.6
because my keyboard,
27:06.6
I use the Nektar Paranormal.
27:09.6
Yeah, but it's very heavy.
27:12.6
So I was like, okay,
27:13.6
I cannot just carry this around.
27:16.6
So I just got Innovation.
27:20.6
A MIDI controller.
27:21.6
Very nice MIDI controller.
27:25.1
through Marketplace.
27:34.1
for all of my patches
27:35.1
because Tim uses Reason
27:38.1
and I have to compliment that.
27:41.1
So I just have to
27:44.1
use that for my DAO.
27:49.1
you guys are here.
27:52.1
I know our podcast is short
27:53.6
because you guys have to go
27:55.6
But what's next for you?
27:57.6
What's next for you?
27:58.6
Let's start with you.
28:01.6
You first, Cairo.
28:04.6
What's your plan?
28:06.6
Are you going to go full-time
28:14.6
even before playing for Anna,
28:17.6
because I came out of the pandemic
28:19.6
and then they asked me
28:25.1
I didn't really want to do
28:27.1
until they asked.
28:31.1
You really didn't want
28:32.1
to do music anymore?
28:33.1
What were you planning on doing?
28:36.1
Just try something.
28:37.1
Because I was exposed to music
28:39.1
You were desensitized.
28:49.6
Yeah, Anna and Tim, actually.
28:53.6
We did one wish bus,
28:57.6
Then they went to my place,
28:59.6
and then we just had
29:01.6
Was that a reawakening
29:05.6
Not just that talk,
29:06.6
but even listening
29:08.6
a lot of the songs,
29:14.6
and just resonating
29:17.1
Especially what I was
29:23.1
I can't really say
29:25.1
right now that I could
29:27.1
pursue it full-time.
29:31.1
In the Philippines,
29:32.1
it's kind of hard
29:33.1
to have it as your
29:35.1
and to put everything
29:49.6
this conversation
29:50.6
with both of you,
29:51.6
especially with you,
29:54.6
not really that big.
29:56.6
to have something
29:57.6
that when you look back,
30:01.6
That was years ago.
30:04.6
How proud are you?
30:07.6
is brought to you by
30:08.6
Dr. Lourdes Capulon.
30:11.6
I'm really proud.
30:19.1
it's something that I just
30:24.1
I'm still in shock
30:25.1
that we actually performed
30:27.1
in South by Southwest.
30:29.1
really sinking in.
30:30.1
I was more focused on
30:43.1
classical pianist
30:50.1
or somebody's backup
30:51.1
or something like that.
30:58.1
a little bit more
31:05.1
I still don't know
31:06.1
what's going to happen
31:10.1
I might take a break
31:12.1
but as much as I can,
31:21.1
To the young kids
31:23.1
they need a ton of excuse
31:25.1
before they start doing
31:28.1
You guys are testament
31:31.1
to taking the first step
31:33.1
and then being picked up
31:36.1
What's your advice
31:43.1
to chase their dreams?
31:46.1
I just want them to know
31:47.1
that I was like that too.
31:54.1
little hesitation
31:57.1
because it's a dream.
32:03.1
I was really scared
32:05.1
when I was starting college.
32:06.1
I wanted to do that
32:08.1
but I never touched it.
32:10.1
I thought I would
32:11.1
never be able to do it.
32:14.1
I guess just loosen up
32:18.1
kind of my mindset.
32:27.1
That's how it started
32:31.1
I just released it
32:32.1
without really thinking
32:33.1
much of anything.
32:37.1
kind of getting into it
32:38.1
because it's really hard
32:39.1
to do something new
32:41.1
when you overthink
32:44.1
because it just becomes
32:51.1
anymore at that point.
32:52.1
You will just think
32:54.1
is this good enough?
32:56.1
Is this going to match
32:57.1
the standard of whatever?
33:14.1
it's going to haunt you
33:17.1
because it won't.
33:18.1
It will be like a
33:20.1
good learning curve
33:25.1
other people's opinions
33:35.1
Okay, ladies and gentlemen
