00:00:00.682 --> 00:00:04.352
And that fits, like, I think, around like 10,000 people, if not more.

00:00:04.352 --> 00:00:07.831
That's like where they hold the major soccer games.

00:00:07.831 --> 00:00:10.628
I mean, they could damn near hold the World Cup there.

00:00:10.628 --> 00:00:12.666
That's how huge they are.

00:00:12.666 --> 00:00:18.606
So, yeah, I Welcome to the CJ Moneyway Show.

00:00:28.062 --> 00:00:30.635
And I'm with your host, cj Moneyway.

00:00:30.635 --> 00:00:32.444
Let's get it.

00:00:32.444 --> 00:00:34.621
What's up?

00:00:34.621 --> 00:00:38.531
My good people, it's your boy, cj Moneyway, and welcome to the Moneyway Show.

00:00:38.531 --> 00:00:41.720
Hey, I got a very interesting guest today.

00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:55.468
Very interesting guest today raining from the Bay Area, music artist, actress, tv host and fashion entrepreneur and, shall I say, podcast host of Diva Podcast.

00:00:55.468 --> 00:00:56.768
Hey, how you doing today.

00:00:56.868 --> 00:00:57.228
What's up?

00:00:57.228 --> 00:00:58.128
What's up, you guys?

00:00:58.128 --> 00:01:01.149
It's your girl, kelda, Music here how you doing CJ hey.

00:01:01.310 --> 00:01:02.470
I'm good, I'm good.

00:01:02.470 --> 00:01:03.250
How about yourself?

00:01:03.572 --> 00:01:04.191
Pretty good.

00:01:04.191 --> 00:01:06.772
Don't mind me if I sound a little nasally.

00:01:06.772 --> 00:01:08.153
I'm trying to get over this cold.

00:01:08.153 --> 00:01:15.837
However, I like to keep my obligations, so that's why the pun, and make sure I show support.

00:01:15.856 --> 00:01:16.518
I appreciate it.

00:01:16.518 --> 00:01:17.878
I appreciate it.

00:01:17.878 --> 00:01:33.049
So I guess, before we get started and I asked somebody else this before and I said I'm going to ask every podcast host that come on my show the same question you as a podcaster, okay, how is it?

00:01:33.049 --> 00:01:41.219
What's the difference between actually asking questions on your podcast and actually being interviewed?

00:01:42.162 --> 00:01:42.704
You know what?

00:01:42.704 --> 00:01:53.927
It's so funny because even before I started a podcast, I used to have a TV show called Diva Talk Tonight, which is on Tubi, and I used to interview people.

00:01:53.927 --> 00:02:01.920
So to me, it's kind of the same thing Whether you're being asked the questions or you're the one asking the questions.

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.361
It's just all about holding a conversation.

00:02:04.361 --> 00:02:13.383
And when you're talking to asking the questions, it's just all about holding a conversation, and when you're talking to another conversationalist, it just everything runs smooth and it just flows the way it needs to be.

00:02:13.543 --> 00:02:25.294
So, um, again, to me, like there's really no difference, oh, okay, you know, I asked the guy that yesterday because he has his own podcast and he said the same thing you said.

00:02:25.294 --> 00:02:35.804
He said it's basically the same because, like I told him, you know, I've had, you know, been interviewing people but I've never been interviewed, so you know.

00:02:35.804 --> 00:02:44.528
So I want to pick you guys, brian, and see what's the difference, just in case I be fortunate enough when somebody asks me on their podcast show.

00:02:44.528 --> 00:02:57.163
So that's why I asked that question so, out of the many talents that you have that you've been blessed with, what's the main talent that you actually focus on right now?

00:02:57.444 --> 00:02:59.104
Well, it's always going to be music.

00:02:59.104 --> 00:03:03.786
Music is the reason why I'm in this industry.

00:03:03.786 --> 00:03:05.830
Music is the reason why I got to travel overseas.

00:03:05.830 --> 00:03:06.299
Music is the reason why I'm in this industry.

00:03:06.299 --> 00:03:07.664
Music is the reason why I got to travel overseas.

00:03:07.664 --> 00:03:09.667
Music is the reason why I'm getting paid.

00:03:09.667 --> 00:03:30.848
So you know, just like many other artists, you branch out into different areas of the entertainment industry and you just try to expand and maximize and make more money and expand your brand.

00:03:30.848 --> 00:03:42.693
So you know, even if I'm working on a TV show project right now or a film project, you know music is always going to be the first.

00:03:42.693 --> 00:03:44.835
You know, my first love it's like you know.

00:03:44.835 --> 00:03:48.157
Asking Kevin Hart, you know, do you enjoy stand-up or being in movies?

00:03:48.157 --> 00:03:49.076
Yeah, you know what I mean.

00:03:49.076 --> 00:03:51.897
Of course he's a stand-up guy.

00:03:51.897 --> 00:03:52.818
Yeah, comedic, you know.

00:03:52.818 --> 00:03:58.167
But hey, hollywood's like we need you in movies too, so he's doing movies.

00:03:58.247 --> 00:03:58.487
Yeah.

00:03:58.487 --> 00:04:02.402
So, yeah, okay, okay.

00:04:02.402 --> 00:04:14.793
So you know we hear about on the outside, about the music industry all the time, the things that goes on, and you know some things that people on the outside don't know.

00:04:14.793 --> 00:04:26.303
So I guess my question to you is can you give us some insight, your insight from being on the inside of the music industry, and how does it know somewhat operate?

00:04:26.644 --> 00:04:26.985
Yeah.

00:04:26.985 --> 00:04:45.430
So, um, it's funny you mention that because I'm working on a TV show that's going to showcase what I went through, as you know a becoming female artist in a male-dominated industry.

00:04:45.430 --> 00:05:09.141
So, aside from it being a male-dominated industry which is, you know, hip-hop just being in the music industry is challenging on its own because there's so many politics involved and so many different people that you have to know and so many business aspects of it that you have to understand.

00:05:09.141 --> 00:05:23.017
You know, and now we're at a time in the music industry where it's not about, you know, being discovered on the streets anymore or, you know, just being a really talented artist.

00:05:23.017 --> 00:05:41.286
Your numbers have to actually show how talented you are, your streams have to be there, your social media followers have to be there, and that, right there is what's going to attract labels and brands and collaborations.

00:05:42.129 --> 00:05:56.848
Whatever the case may be the music industry, although it is very challenging, there has been some doors open now just based off your streaming performance, if you're investing in that.

00:05:56.848 --> 00:05:59.627
So it's a very difficult industry.

00:05:59.627 --> 00:06:00.963
This industry is like the lottery.

00:06:00.963 --> 00:06:04.266
You know what I mean If you didn't make it, bam, you made it.

00:06:04.769 --> 00:06:05.211
You know what I mean.

00:06:05.211 --> 00:06:06.137
If you make it, damn, you made it.

00:06:06.137 --> 00:06:07.502
You know what I mean celebrate.

00:06:07.502 --> 00:06:22.487
But if you didn't make it, then you need to keep doing what you do anyway, because you're an artist, you love music, so yeah, that's, that's interesting, and so when your film come out, you know, or this biopsy that you do, let us know, you know.

00:06:22.687 --> 00:06:23.810
Uh, I want to check it out.

00:06:23.810 --> 00:06:35.980
Um, yes, yes, so, like with music and the things that you're doing, what, what's your inspiration behind it and who's your favorite artist?

00:06:36.380 --> 00:06:37.362
inspiration.

00:06:37.362 --> 00:06:43.752
I would just say I was born to do this, like it's just.

00:06:43.752 --> 00:06:51.545
You know, when you're really good at something and you get validation from others, that's how you know you need to keep going.

00:06:51.545 --> 00:07:12.225
And for me, I've always received validation from other artists, fans, industry folks, always, always people um commend me on my actual work, not work ethic, but the actual work itself, because it's authentic.

00:07:12.225 --> 00:07:13.610
My music is real.

00:07:13.610 --> 00:07:20.427
You could play some of the radio right now and you know it mixes in with other artists.

00:07:20.427 --> 00:07:34.029
My favorite artist of all time, I would have to say, would be the Br the brat yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, atl in the house, I feel you, I feel you I love the brat.

00:07:34.170 --> 00:07:37.035
She just, you know I, I'm like her.

00:07:37.035 --> 00:07:38.442
You know what I mean.

00:07:38.442 --> 00:07:44.932
Uh, started out, you know, being a tomboy, being a pretty tomboy.

00:07:44.932 --> 00:07:45.915
You know what I mean.

00:07:45.915 --> 00:07:56.572
Didn't care to do all the fancy stuff with hair dresses or anything like that, but at the same time it's like whoa, she can really spit.

00:07:56.572 --> 00:07:59.425
Whoa, her pen game is ridiculous.

00:07:59.425 --> 00:08:02.245
You know what I mean and that's what I respect.

00:08:02.245 --> 00:08:06.699
A lot about the brat and I'm glad she's still making music today.

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:16.507
I'm glad all these artists, legendary artists, are still making music today, Regardless of how the music industry has shifted.

00:08:16.507 --> 00:08:19.333
You still got Busta Rhymes making music.

00:08:19.333 --> 00:08:23.800
Actually, Busta Rhymes, MC Elliot and Ciara are about to go on tour together.

00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.718
Rhymes and Sierra are about to go on tour together.

00:08:28.718 --> 00:08:32.615
So that right, there is like you know you're bringing back the early 2000s.

00:08:32.451 --> 00:08:35.265
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean that whole era.

00:08:35.265 --> 00:08:39.129
So, man, I hope the Brat goes on tour pretty soon too.

00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.128
Yeah, I would love to hear some of that funk defied.

00:08:42.128 --> 00:08:43.150
You know what I'm saying.

00:08:43.150 --> 00:08:54.111
So, yeah, growing up on the Brat, actually, me and my wife we watch a TV show called Married to Medicine and she appears on there here and there because she's pregnant.

00:08:54.111 --> 00:09:00.686
You know, at the time she was yeah, yeah, yeah and so okay, of course we're behind on the show.

00:09:00.686 --> 00:09:08.568
So, but, yeah, man, I like the, the Brad, you know, and the record label, jermaine Dupri, you know he put out some hits.

00:09:08.568 --> 00:09:11.490
You know he put out some hits and some good people.

00:09:11.490 --> 00:09:19.270
So, being in the Bay Area, you know we got the likes of E-40, too Short.

00:09:19.270 --> 00:09:28.471
You know where Master P-Num actually came out with no Limit, I believe they went from where they was at and kept out that way.

00:09:28.471 --> 00:09:32.912
That's why him and E-40 was able to collaborate on a couple of songs.

00:09:32.912 --> 00:09:36.630
So, have you ever been in that industry?

00:09:36.630 --> 00:09:39.460
Have you ever read into any of these guys?

00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:42.769
Have you ever opened up or performed with these guys or anything?

00:09:43.010 --> 00:09:52.240
ever opened up or performed with these guys or anything Not.

00:09:52.240 --> 00:10:08.038
I run into them every, you know, every now and then if it's like a major event, not Master P but 40, definitely you know, because he's definitely always, you know, showing love to the Bay Area and always keeping his fans out here, you know, keeping them happy out here with his music and shows and stuff like that.

00:10:08.038 --> 00:10:11.322
I was in his music video a long, long time ago.

00:10:11.705 --> 00:10:14.743
Oh, yeah, okay, okay, 40 Watt.

00:10:14.743 --> 00:10:17.003
Yeah, yeah, 40 Watt.

00:10:17.003 --> 00:10:31.149
Yeah, that's my man and, like you say, with a lot of these people that still, like you say, bust around them, still putting out music, he's way to go put out a new album not too long ago and so, yeah, like I say, that's my area.

00:10:31.149 --> 00:10:36.687
So let me ask you a question before I move on Is he as cool in person?

00:10:37.048 --> 00:10:38.211
as he is on TV.

00:10:38.211 --> 00:10:40.066
Yeah, no, he's a really cool person.

00:10:40.066 --> 00:10:45.376
He's cool, he's chill, he's just like I mean, he's just like.

00:10:45.376 --> 00:10:46.427
I mean you know what I mean.

00:10:46.427 --> 00:10:49.866
Like when people always ask about certain celebrities and stuff like that.

00:10:49.866 --> 00:10:56.033
I'm like, I'm like, oh my god, you know, like they're just like us, the president is like us.

00:10:56.033 --> 00:10:56.818
You know what I mean.

00:10:56.818 --> 00:10:58.985
But yes, I get it.

00:10:58.985 --> 00:11:08.884
There are certain people that you need and they say don't meet your hero or whatever, because if they have a different side to themselves it'll just kind of kill your whole vibe.

00:11:08.884 --> 00:11:10.322
But no, 40.

00:11:10.322 --> 00:11:17.879
Every time I've seen them, whether it's at a show or at an appearance he's doing.

00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:32.369
He did something, a collaboration with Bev Mo last year because he launched one of his alcohol brands and he was in stores giving people shots of his new alcohol.

00:11:32.369 --> 00:11:33.491
He was his new alcohol.

00:11:33.491 --> 00:11:35.293
It was like a pop-up.

00:11:35.293 --> 00:11:36.763
People weren't expecting that.

00:11:36.763 --> 00:11:37.847
They were just like what the hell?

00:11:37.847 --> 00:11:40.581
40 or 50 hours of shots of his drink.

00:11:40.581 --> 00:11:45.303
He's a very humble guy.

00:11:45.303 --> 00:11:46.889
He's really cool.

00:11:47.330 --> 00:11:48.961
Okay, hey, 40,.

00:11:48.961 --> 00:11:55.964
I want you on the Money Way show man Shout out hey, that man ought to be a dream come true, him and Magic Johnson.

00:11:55.964 --> 00:12:09.534
I'm telling you so you mentioned it earlier, so tell us about your experiences that your talents have taken you around the world to places like Tokyo, Switzerland and the Caribbean.

00:12:09.534 --> 00:12:13.551
Can you just tell us about this type of experience that you had?

00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:21.374
Yeah, so in 2012, I toured with R&B singer Lloyd Lloyd from Murder Inc.

00:12:21.374 --> 00:12:25.255
We toured in Tokyo.

00:12:25.255 --> 00:12:37.948
We did about three or four shows that led up to one major show at the Zeppelin Tokyo Zeppelin Auditorium.

00:12:37.948 --> 00:12:39.371
That was huge.

00:12:39.371 --> 00:12:44.789
Um also went on tour in the caribbean with jock cure uh.

00:12:44.789 --> 00:12:54.452
For those that don't know him, he's a very popular famous r&b singer, um and uh also.

00:12:54.452 --> 00:13:06.934
Um went on tour in switzerland in 2022 and that was more like a promo tour to introduce my berets and meet and greets with a couple of promoters.

00:13:06.934 --> 00:13:11.331
So yeah, touring overseas is real cool.

00:13:11.331 --> 00:13:17.731
Many, many artists love touring overseas, just because the vibe is different.

00:13:17.731 --> 00:13:31.475
You know what I mean and it's just, I don't know, like the fan base kind of even if they don't know who you are, they still respect who you are because what you do, what you say, you do what you represent.

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.671
So yeah, I love it.

00:13:34.671 --> 00:13:41.573
You know, I can imagine too, because I'll never forget a photo or video that they had before.

00:13:41.573 --> 00:13:47.350
You know, when Michael Jackson went over there to Europe or something, man them, people lost their minds over there.

00:13:47.350 --> 00:13:49.253
I mean, it was crazy.

00:13:49.253 --> 00:13:54.630
So have you been in those big arenas, like the stadiums that they be having?

00:13:55.692 --> 00:14:11.927
Yeah, In Tokyo I was at the Zeppelin Tokyo Theater I forgot what it was called, but yeah, it was a huge stadium that fit, you know, maybe about like, maybe about like 7,500 people.

00:14:11.927 --> 00:14:27.690
And then when I performed with Ja'Kur in the Caribbean, we performed at the Police Stadium, which is one of the biggest stadiums in the Caribbean, and that fits like, I think, around like 10,000 people, if not more.

00:14:27.690 --> 00:14:31.191
That's like where they hold the major soccer games.

00:14:31.191 --> 00:14:33.989
I mean, they could damn near hold the World Cup there.

00:14:33.989 --> 00:14:36.025
That's how huge they are.

00:14:36.025 --> 00:14:40.971
So, yeah, I've been in those places, man.

00:14:42.621 --> 00:14:44.049
Oh, I just bet that that's.

00:14:44.049 --> 00:14:45.317
You know what I'm saying.

00:14:45.317 --> 00:14:50.845
Like something like the first time you went in there, you seen all these people you had to perform.

00:14:50.845 --> 00:14:52.784
You didn't choke up this, no.

00:14:53.527 --> 00:14:54.730
You know what the funny thing is?

00:14:54.730 --> 00:15:18.731
It's easier to perform in front of a thousand people, opposed to like 10 people, because when you're just sitting there, I mean you know, when you're just sitting there, I mean you know, when you're standing there and those 10 people are looking at you, it's like all eyes are on you, yeah, yeah, whereas you know, in front of a thousand people, you don't know who's really paying attention, who's on their cell phones.

00:15:18.731 --> 00:15:20.982
You know, you just don't care.

00:15:20.982 --> 00:15:47.572
Um, but uh, you know, I was in this play called how black mothers say I love you and it was a it was a black box theater and I think that meant that it was a smaller theater, because it was small and I you know I'm talking about no more than like maybe 50 people were in there and we're acting right in front of the audience, right in front I.

00:15:47.572 --> 00:15:50.649
When I did that, it was like 12 shows we did.

00:15:50.649 --> 00:15:58.265
When I did that, I was like oh, I got this, I got this, I can do anything.

00:16:00.241 --> 00:16:07.811
Cause, you know, and let me just ask you this question real quick Cause from doing public speaking and speaking.

00:16:07.811 --> 00:16:13.927
I remember when I was in class back in the day and the speech teacher would tell you, don't look at the audience.

00:16:13.927 --> 00:16:28.711
When you just look past them, you know what I'm saying and it seems like you're looking at them, or sometimes you might catch that one person's attention that's really paying attention to you and vibing with you, and then I feed off of their energy.

00:16:28.711 --> 00:16:30.285
Tell me how that is with you.

00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:36.332
Yeah, so we just look above their eyes, not above their head, but above their eyes.

00:16:36.332 --> 00:16:39.028
So you're looking at their forehead, basically.

00:16:39.028 --> 00:16:55.865
And when you do that and you get that down, it just you become used to it and especially if you have like a solo part, you know doing a whole monologue and everyone's sitting right there in front of you.

00:16:55.865 --> 00:17:03.655
You just look at their eyebrows, look at their foreheads and to them they think you're looking at them, but you know you're technically not.

00:17:03.655 --> 00:17:03.678
Yeah.

00:17:03.678 --> 00:17:05.416
So that's a technique that you say and to them, they think you're looking at them, but you know you're technically not, yeah.

00:17:06.760 --> 00:17:12.828
So that's a technique that you say that you have to garner over time.

00:17:12.828 --> 00:17:19.881
You know, just like what you're saying and everything, that you have to get your niche and once you get it, you win Exactly.

00:17:20.280 --> 00:17:20.801
Exactly Okay.

00:17:20.801 --> 00:17:22.883
Yeah, exactly Exactly, yeah, yeah.

00:17:22.883 --> 00:17:33.229
Yeah, I was going to say you know, when you see artists or actors today perform in front of millions of people, it's because you become used to it after a while.

00:17:33.229 --> 00:17:34.630
You know what I mean.

00:17:34.630 --> 00:17:37.571
You know the audience loves you.

00:17:37.571 --> 00:17:39.272
They're your fans, they come to see you.

00:17:39.272 --> 00:17:42.835
So as long as you give it your best, you give it your all.

00:17:42.835 --> 00:17:44.695
They're going to love you, no matter what.

00:17:44.695 --> 00:17:45.636
No one's going to judge you.

00:17:46.096 --> 00:17:48.018
Oh, ok, that's cool.

00:17:48.018 --> 00:17:54.785
I hope one day I can experience that.

00:17:54.785 --> 00:18:01.471
So let me ask you what TV shows films you know any of that?

00:18:01.471 --> 00:18:04.556
What roles have you played in TV shows?

00:18:10.361 --> 00:18:14.185
Yeah, so I was in First Date, which is streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

00:18:14.185 --> 00:18:20.415
I was recently in Humane, which is a full-length feature.

00:18:20.415 --> 00:18:25.951
Not sure what platforms it's going to appear on on yet, but I'm sure I'll know pretty soon.

00:18:25.951 --> 00:18:28.405
Um, and then I'm working on my own film.

00:18:28.405 --> 00:18:33.880
Um, we're actually going to bermuda, um this summer to film it.

00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:42.835
Um, I can't give out too much details, but the storylines there, the casting's already done, done, the writing is done.

00:18:42.835 --> 00:18:51.190
Now we're just figuring out in Bermuda which actual areas we want to start filming in.

00:18:51.190 --> 00:18:55.486
That's what I have coming up next, film-wise.

00:18:55.486 --> 00:19:00.884
Then still got the berets exclusively on Amazon, called Tams.

00:19:00.884 --> 00:19:04.528
Make sure you guys get yourself one Ten different colors.

00:19:04.528 --> 00:19:08.428
That's pretty much it for right now.

00:19:08.834 --> 00:19:09.179
Oh, okay.

00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.728
Yeah, it's called Diva Talk Tonight.

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:14.382
Okay, diva Talk Tonight.

00:19:14.943 --> 00:19:16.320
You can even just type my name in there.

00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:17.144
Tell the music.

00:19:17.144 --> 00:19:21.125
One word lowercase, m Boom, it should pop up for you.

00:19:21.406 --> 00:19:22.723
Okay, I'm going to check that out.

00:19:22.723 --> 00:19:30.391
And so, while we're on the conversation of diva, why is your alias diva?

00:19:30.391 --> 00:19:31.940
Why do they call you diva?

00:19:32.059 --> 00:19:34.107
Yeah, you know it's a good kind of diva.

00:19:34.107 --> 00:19:38.310
I'm setting a different tone for diva.

00:19:38.310 --> 00:19:46.127
Whenever someone thinks of diva, they think of a bitch or someone who's stuck up, rude, entitled.

00:19:46.127 --> 00:19:49.670
No, we're showing you the good kind of diva.

00:19:49.670 --> 00:19:51.586
You know, you have the good witch, you have the bad witch.

00:19:51.586 --> 00:19:54.989
Right, there's three witches, but one is good.

00:19:54.989 --> 00:20:18.109
And why can't there be a good diva who wants to be powerful, influential and sophisticated and carries herself with elegance and pride and who, when she puts her wand out there, she wants to inspire all to be just like her?

00:20:19.882 --> 00:20:20.363
I get it.

00:20:20.363 --> 00:20:21.909
I get it, I get it.

00:20:21.909 --> 00:20:24.189
I like the way that you put it to actress mode on me.

00:20:24.189 --> 00:20:24.671
Yeah, I get it, I get it.

00:20:24.671 --> 00:20:27.019
I like the way that you you know you put it to actress mode on me.

00:20:28.684 --> 00:20:29.689
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:30.702 --> 00:20:31.453
Yeah, I get it.

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.307
Yeah, it's my alias.

00:20:33.307 --> 00:20:35.380
It's always been my alias.

00:20:35.380 --> 00:20:42.993
At one point I was just going to call myself Peeba, but then Kelda Music, which is Kelda, is my government name.

00:20:42.993 --> 00:20:47.864
Music, which is Kelda, is my government name.

00:20:47.864 --> 00:20:55.724
And music we just attached to it, just spelled it differently, because I love music so much that we had to keep Kelda Music and we're just like okay, your alias is Diva.

00:20:55.724 --> 00:20:59.173
Every artist, every entertainer has an alias anyways.

00:20:59.173 --> 00:21:03.957
Okay, boom, yours is Diva and it's been that way since 2005.

00:21:03.977 --> 00:21:07.866
Wow, yeah, because Kildare Music.

00:21:07.866 --> 00:21:11.073
I'm not going to even sit here and lie to you.

00:21:11.073 --> 00:21:25.531
When I first saw your name come up on the Podmatch thing and it said musician Kildare Music, of course I couldn't pronounce it, and you know that, because I had to ask you over the name today.

00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:29.369
And so when I seen it, I'm like what kind of music is that?

00:21:29.441 --> 00:21:34.367
I'm like I ain't never heard of that, so I was afraid to even touch that.

00:21:34.367 --> 00:21:37.865
So I'm like I'm going to pin that one real quick, you know.

00:21:37.865 --> 00:21:57.646
But then I came back and then I actually read the full bio and everything I'm like, oh okay, that's her name, but I like the aspect and thing that you know you was a singer, actress and you know you just had all these many talents.

00:21:57.646 --> 00:22:09.771
So you know, I wanted to touch bases with you and bring you on and speaking of many talents, you know, like with myself doing a podcast and plus I work a full-time job.

00:22:09.771 --> 00:22:17.210
But this podcasting thing is basically a job in itself, with all the things that you have to do and whatnot.

00:22:17.210 --> 00:22:18.566
Plus I do it on my own.

00:22:18.566 --> 00:22:25.133
So, with that being said, how is multitasking for you?

00:22:25.133 --> 00:22:27.329
How do you deal with multitasking?

00:22:29.122 --> 00:22:32.270
I just prioritize what's important first.

00:22:32.270 --> 00:22:50.252
If I just released the album or a single, okay, we're going to work on nothing but promotion for that, nothing but booking shows for that, nothing but Spotify and making sure that people are streaming it.

00:22:50.252 --> 00:22:56.731
If it's a film that I'm working on, then it's all about the film.

00:22:56.731 --> 00:23:08.307
Right, make sure I'm in shape, I have the available dates for myself, and that I've studied my script, everything.

00:23:08.307 --> 00:23:16.351
So while it is multitasking, it's still prioritizing what's important first.

00:23:16.351 --> 00:23:19.289
It's just, you know you're going to go on to the next project.

00:23:19.289 --> 00:23:25.990
Also, you're not going to just stay with that project for the whole month or the whole quarter or the whole year.

00:23:25.990 --> 00:23:30.393
You're multitasking within that project, or the whole year.

00:23:30.393 --> 00:23:32.259
You're multitasking within that project.

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:55.231
People tend to forget both Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez both had the number one hit movie out while having an album out, so they were touring for their music and, at the same time, making press appearances, red carpet appearances, to promote the film as well.

00:23:55.231 --> 00:24:00.468
So you can do it, you can definitely do it, anybody can do it.

00:24:00.468 --> 00:24:12.742
And again, it's just all about having a plan for everything that you do and not just doing it because because, oh, this sounds cool, or, you know, I'm trying to get my name out there.

00:24:12.742 --> 00:24:15.008
Really take your time.

00:24:15.449 --> 00:24:28.126
If you really want to produce a film, take the time to build the right team together to get the, the, the, the writers that you need, the actors, location, everything that you need.

00:24:28.126 --> 00:24:39.786
Don't just say you want to shoot a film and then you get out there with your iPhone and just start taking footage and putting music behind it and saying, yeah, y'all, same thing with music.

00:24:39.786 --> 00:24:51.040
Take your time, sort out which producers you want to work with, who could develop a sound for you, lock yourself in the studio and start writing and know writing and recording.

00:24:51.040 --> 00:24:54.368
So you just have to take your time with everything.

00:24:54.368 --> 00:24:55.673
But it is possible.

00:24:57.280 --> 00:25:00.207
You know I like what you said when you started it off.

00:25:00.207 --> 00:25:01.990
You said prioritizing.

00:25:01.990 --> 00:25:12.172
You know you can multitask and, like I was telling somebody else before, because you have all these different ideas, and I heard a pastor say this.

00:25:12.172 --> 00:25:16.950
He said you got to have pockets, you got to have pockets to put certain things in.

00:25:16.950 --> 00:25:29.305
I might have an idea for this, I might have an idea for that, but if I'm trying to crown them all together, then eventually I'm going to put the wrong ideas with this idea with that.

00:25:29.305 --> 00:25:38.490
Eventually I'm going to put the wrong ideas with this idea, with that shit, with that, and so prioritizing, which I find big right now too, because that's the things that I'm doing as well.

00:25:38.490 --> 00:25:48.038
Like you say, focus on what you're doing, don't forget about the other things, but let the main thing be the main thing at that point, right there.

00:25:48.038 --> 00:25:55.441
And so I just got one more question for you, and you know I appreciate, you appreciate your time today.

00:25:55.961 --> 00:26:02.432
So yes, no problem how did you go from music to TV host?

00:26:02.932 --> 00:26:06.340
so music and TV film go hand in hand.

00:26:06.340 --> 00:26:09.182
You're're a performing artist regardless.

00:26:09.182 --> 00:26:15.326
So if you're performing in the studio, you're performing on stage when performing your music.

00:26:15.326 --> 00:26:37.038
If you're performing on stage with your music, then you're doing the same thing with TV and film being able to interpret your perspective of that script or that song, which is what's going to make people like you or not.

00:26:37.038 --> 00:26:41.530
And if you're pretty damn good at it, then you're just going to keep going.

00:26:43.540 --> 00:26:54.682
My advice for those that want to get in this industry or want to learn a little bit more about it do some research Google.

00:26:54.682 --> 00:27:01.185
What does it take to become a successful recording artist, actor, model?

00:27:01.185 --> 00:27:03.185
Google is your best friend.

00:27:03.185 --> 00:27:05.667
There's so much information on there.

00:27:05.667 --> 00:27:11.039
You could type in anything and whatever answer you're looking for will come up.

00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.526
I preferably like going on reddit.

00:27:13.526 --> 00:27:17.401
Reddit has a lot of advice on there and they have like a lot of um.

00:27:17.401 --> 00:27:29.471
They have a lot of groups um related to you know, being an independent musician, artist, actor, and they have um.

00:27:29.471 --> 00:27:32.404
They have people in there that give really, really good advice.

00:27:33.248 --> 00:27:36.127
So use your computer, use your iPhone.

00:27:36.127 --> 00:27:38.906
Everybody's on social media.

00:27:38.906 --> 00:27:40.767
Okay, we'll start reading some articles.

00:27:40.767 --> 00:27:44.434
That's why, on my social media, I always post articles.

00:27:44.434 --> 00:28:09.410
I'm posting articles about everything my opinion on the Grammys, my opinion on the grammys, my opinion on super bowl, my opinion on um the latest incident that happened, you know, in hollywood or whatever, um, always, always, put your opinions out there to the world and and even if you can't write an article, get someone to write an article for you.

00:28:09.410 --> 00:28:24.029
But the point being is, you got to read and if you're reading a lot, then you're going to find what you're looking for and you're going to understand it and you're going to live by those words that you read.

00:28:25.442 --> 00:28:30.585
And you know I totally agree with you on that too, because I was just telling a friend of mine today.

00:28:30.585 --> 00:28:42.855
I said, look, and, matter of fact, somebody I just interviewed said the same thing Google, your phone, is your best friend right now, because you can get all the information you want right there from your phone.

00:28:42.855 --> 00:28:53.365
You know, back in the day we used to have to go to the library and find a book and go through these index cards and everything to find a book that you wanted to look something up on.

00:28:53.365 --> 00:28:57.273
But it's so much easier now with the access that we have.

00:28:57.273 --> 00:29:07.491
And if you want to do something like you say you know that's what I was telling them If you truly want to do something, then research it, get into it and put yourself in it.

00:29:07.531 --> 00:29:12.025
You know, and and and say you know what, I'm putting everything else to the side.

00:29:12.025 --> 00:29:16.463
If I want to be an actor, hey, I'm going to go ahead and study and put myself in it.

00:29:16.463 --> 00:29:29.616
If I want to be a singer, then I'm going to put myself in it, and so you know, I appreciate that advice because it hit home with me, because I just got to tell somebody that I actually did so.

00:29:29.616 --> 00:29:36.826
Um, so is there anything, what's your social media that people can begin following you and keeping up with?

00:29:37.166 --> 00:29:45.269
