These are a collaboration with the celebrity stylist, george Cortina, so they're the Cortina frames and they're number 157 out of 161. I love.
Speaker 2:I bought them because there's no way that you can get this style of frame with nose pads right, oh, so that's why I bought them.

Speaker 2:We'll pretend it never happened.
Speaker 1:I don't know, age is weird.
Speaker 2:People don't really change. This is like something now that I work playing nursing homes all the time and I'm friends with a lot of people of different ages. Yeah, we don't really change as, as we get older, a lot of the time we're always still the same person. We still hold on to the same beliefs about ourselves and the same hopes and dreams and who we want to be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I always think of myself as 13 year old me, like she never grew up or she's still here. It's weird. What about you? Do you like? Is there like an age that you kind of?
Speaker 2:I, for me, it's like right now.
Speaker 1:I like that's good. You should like that, Because I love how old I am. I'm kind of you're mature enough, but you're not like in the wrinkles.
Speaker 2:Everybody wants to be 27. Everybody wants to be not 30, but, like old enough. But anyway, going back to the retirement homes that I play at. I try not to be condescending or like presumptuous with people even though they're old, they're in their 80s, they're they're still the same people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I follow this this account called Advanced Style.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:I love them. I can't.
Speaker 2:They have a documentary.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. I met Deborah Rapaport while I was up in New York and I'm just like, yeah, you know, it doesn't feel great to be in your 40s. But I'm also like, can I just skip over 20 years and be like 60 or 70 so I can just be buck wild with my fashion? I mean, nothing really stops me, but yeah, it's gonna be real good to be like you're.
Speaker 2:So good at 40, though, thank you. You're good at yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, because I feel 13.
Speaker 2:I'm in my teenage dirtbag era.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm in my big Lebowski era.
Speaker 2:Love it yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean you can carry that on. You need the balance. I think the balance Talk to me more about the people that you go to. You go to what's it called or do you go to multiple Multiple? Yeah?
Speaker 2:A L Fs assisted living facilities Assisted living. Some of them are retirement, some of them are memory care, some of them it's yeah, do they have like bits of good life lessons?
Speaker 1:Do they tell you anything that's like worthwhile hearing?
Speaker 2:A lot of the residents were engineers for the space program military program 60s heroes.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, yeah, Are they spilling any beans?
Speaker 2:It's like you know, they were building the rockets before. That was an everyday thing for us.
Speaker 1:Like they were on the forefront of it. They say that we stopped going to the moon because they lost all that technology?
Speaker 2:I don't know anything about that. I know that you're a conspiracy fan I am too, but I don't know anything about that.
Speaker 1:Well, let's ask them Like where did the technology go?
Speaker 2:I know, I feel like we should be doing interplanetary travel or something I mean it's just weird that we stopped.
Speaker 1:The moon needs to be a resort.
Speaker 2:maybe I would like that.
Speaker 1:Where aren't they selling off little pieces of the moon at one point, like 10 years ago?
Speaker 2:I know they had the Richard Branson trips to space. That was like, oh, now finally we're doing space tourism.
Speaker 1:Did they do?
Speaker 2:that yeah, richard Branson took Pineapples dude.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's very cool. Yeah, he'd be a great guest. And did it? One of the Backstreet Boys go too. Yeah, he did Very interesting. Very, very nice Philosophies on life. I like how you talk about sleeping a lot and you didn't come in at 10 this morning. Tell me more about that. Like, what is behind that? Is it just the 20 lifestyle? Like forget?
Speaker 2:it. I'm not getting out of bed before noon. Are you a night owl? I am a night owl.
Speaker 1:I'm a night owl too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's fine. I wish there was more to do at night here, but Sometimes Jessie and I are at some of the late night spots. What are the late night spots? Social distance Is it like 2.30? Actually, I'm sorry, am I blasting every spot?
Speaker 1:No, no, Jessie's going 4, 5.
Speaker 2:I think I stayed till 4.30 one time, as late as I could. Are they open all night On weekends? They do a DJ, so it's like after hours. It's actually it can be pretty fun, like I don't know. I'm not going to say like it's the best time I've ever had in my life?
Speaker 1:No, definitely not, but it's something that's open. Otherwise we have Wawa.
Speaker 2:And I see I went to Wawa last night I saw Kevin Anderson from Ember Note. Oh really, we're just like having a beer in the middle of Wawa Wow.
Speaker 1:I'm having tea, but yeah, what is your thing? Like, I saw you up in New York. Yes, that was so fun. We had a beer with your dad, but like what is your drug and alcohol take? Like you don't, but I do, I drink, I drink.
Speaker 2:I do some drugs legally. I have my medical card, nice.
Speaker 1:Nice, yeah, ok, but you're not being like a 20-year-old about it.
Speaker 2:So something that's super interesting that you bring that up. Something that I saw the other day on TikTok is that women cannot hold alcohol as much as men. Like we process it differently and obviously a lot of the time we're smaller and so we can't. So for women to drink or try and keep up with men, like that's not something that we should do and like Jesse. Jesse needs to be on screen with a microphone.
Speaker 1:I know he has all the tea. You know he was supposed to be my co-host. I thought we were going to do a ditch to me. All right, that's fine. It's just me, this guy's, hilarious.
Speaker 2:I know. I love him I don't even mean Jesse in social distance till 4 AM, Like we got a lot to talk about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'll do like some beer. I drank last night mango cart from Pineapple. It was good that's on tap. It's always like what about?
Speaker 1:heavy liquor.
Speaker 2:The boys were drinking espresso martinis and I'm like I'm not going to jump into liquor? No, You'd never jump into liquor. I do Sometimes like tequila is good, I hate vodka. Vodka was my first foray into getting drunk.
Speaker 1:My friend and I snuck it into.
Speaker 2:This is a great story. So I think we I don't know how we got the vodka, but we had some really warm Coke and it was in her condo bedroom oh, OK, In her bedroom and we had never drunk alcohol before.
Speaker 1:Where old, are you?
Speaker 2:Teenagers in high school. What? Well, listen, I'm a late bloomer right. I'm 20, and I look like this. Yes, that's why, because? You didn't touch it, I didn't smoke weed till college like middle of college. That's probably best I was offered. I just said no.
Speaker 1:Good girl, anyway. No, I think it really matters that you wait a little bit. Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I could have waited, because then once I anyway, all right.
Speaker 1:First time again drunk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, first time drinking alcohol. We have the hot vodka, we have the hot Coke. We just keep.
Speaker 1:Oh my god.
Speaker 2:We literally this was the plan Keep drinking till you feel something.
Speaker 1:Stupid. Well, I mean, that's how we all do it.
Speaker 2:Well, that's what we did, and I was so sick I thought I was dying. Oh did you just throw up all day.
Speaker 1:I actually didn't even throw up, I could just felt like it.
Speaker 2:I felt like horrible and I was like crying and my dad was like I'm going to die, what did your?
Speaker 1:dad do. He was so pissed, he was like he could have died of alcohol poisoning.
Speaker 2:True, my dad is very dramatic. How much did you guys drink?
Speaker 1:I don't remember Because we didn't measure it up and this was more than 10 years ago. It's crazy.
Speaker 2:So I think life is all about knowing your limits, knowing your abilities, your dis not.
Speaker 1:But not a lot of teenagers know that or care to know that, so it's kind of cool that you waited and now you're practicing it yeah, good for you. What about psychedelics?
Speaker 2:So during quarantine, right, I feel like you did Well. I tried some mushroom chocolate, oh OK.
Speaker 1:Where do you get mushroom chocolate? Someone mailed it to me. So bad, it's cool it kind of worked.
Speaker 2:Did you trip or did you just? No, like you just saw a little like very light pulsations.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it makes you happy though.
Speaker 2:It was just kind of like strong weed, like I see why people move from weed to psychedelics, because I'm like, oh, it's a little bit stronger.
Speaker 1:When, yeah, I remember getting high too early in life and we all agreed out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you would see like.
Speaker 1:I would call it the scenes, like the whole room would just move in sections and I was like what the hell is happening? I don't miss that.
Speaker 2:People give me drugs after my shows, like as a tip and when I played in downtown Melbourne what's the hardest drug you've gotten out of the tip?
Speaker 1:LSD tabs, ok, yes, yes, and you just stash them away for another day I've had a big stash. Oh, oh, my god, so you think?
Speaker 2:Jesse and Nico. Since I bring them up, let me bring up a positive. I am playing for Candlelight shopping December 16. Nice In the gallery alley.
Speaker 1:Very, very nice.
Speaker 2:But when I used to play at Matt's Casbah we were playing with the rock bands and all the people in downtown like if they're younger, they're like super hippies. You know, so they're coming up with like really dirty feet and they're like you were awesome, you melted our brain. Here's some drugs Like wow, and that was how I started my collection.
Speaker 1:That's like true rock star right there.
Speaker 2:I mean not that we ever thought See the true rock star lifestyle.
Speaker 1:It's just like I thought it was like. Lst Like no, you're not. Oh my god, that's super cool. What other gifts do you get besides drugs?
Speaker 2:I've gotten bouquets of flowers. I've gotten bottles of wine. I've gotten champagne bottles. I've gotten a lot of cards. Oh, that's nice. That's nice, nice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Cute. I saw that you were associated with holy name and immaculate conception. How you just go.
Speaker 2:I love how we went from LSD to Catholic. Let's talk about religion now it's me.
Speaker 1:It's all on the same card religion and philosophy and I also feel like I should have studied for this interviewing. No, it has to just come out Exactly. What do you do with them?
Speaker 2:So I grew up going to immaculate conception in Melbourne Beach. One of my favorite musicians, gretchen Lux, was the music minister and she taught me how to play violin and she was my voice teacher for a long time and my musical mentor, and she's an amazing woman.
Speaker 1:It's amazing how many musicians start at church, At church yeah. That's interesting. What is your faith?
Speaker 2:I'm a practicing Catholic, you are, yeah.
Speaker 1:You believe in God and all that stuff. That's good. You go to church every Sunday, yeah.
Speaker 2:What the hell? I'm an infant of Prague in my pocket.
Speaker 1:Let me see that If you carry this around Sometimes, I have a prayer card.
Speaker 2:I play Catholic weddings, Catholic funerals. Will you do Jewish?
Speaker 1:ones too Sure. You do a botanist ones.
Speaker 2:I'm doing a celebration, I do non-denominational celebrations of life.
Speaker 1:Oh, I like that. Has anybody asked you to officiate? I'm not a minister. Oh, it just takes a minute.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't do that. I would disrespect my religion, so I wouldn't. Yeah, yeah but my mom is religious, my dad is not, and when I was in high school, I chose to start going to youth group and start finding out more about it, and have made the choice for myself throughout these different seasons of my life. It's always. The faith journey is like a roller coaster.
Speaker 1:You go up and down, yeah.
Speaker 2:But you're Catholic, right, I was raised.
Speaker 1:Catholic.
Speaker 2:Fapti is confirmed, all of it.
Speaker 1:So you're Catholic for life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. So it's like also roller coaster, jesse, too.
Speaker 2:Yes, shutting it down.
Speaker 1:We're all going to heaven here. This gets me so excited.
Speaker 2:Like I love the Catholic club.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Because it is kind of a club, like if you're in it, even if you don't pack it out, you can't get out.
Speaker 1:You know what I love? I used to go. There was a church in New York where I lived and I would just go in there to like, smell the candles and the incense and, yeah, just the nostalgia of it all, the nostalgia of 2000 years.
Speaker 2:Do you confess? I'd love confession. Yeah, I actually have to go to church this week, you do it regularly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was always so freaked out about it, not because I was, just I didn't know that there's things you say and I never memorized it.
Speaker 2:What's good is? They have apps now so you can do it all in like a Catholic app I've been talking about in the 90s and the 80s. They have a little printout, though, like a little sheet of paper. They didn't have that back then.
Speaker 1:See.
Speaker 2:I think things have gotten much better with the youth and the outreach and like we've practiced the same thing for thousands of years Now. Let's just make sure people are on the same page.
Speaker 1:Yeah, can't memorize everything. Make it easy for us. Yeah, one time I went in there and I didn't know I didn't have anything to confess, so I lied, why did you go? I don't just because, like I don't know if I was like made to go.
Speaker 2:How old were you? What did you say? What was your lie?
Speaker 1:Maybe that I was like lying, I don't know, I don't really remember, but I remember that happening and I remember being so freaked out about going in the box. I've had freaked out times.
Speaker 2:I have. You know, I've had times I'm crying. I'm like, yeah, no, but that was when I was little.
Speaker 1:Now it's like yeah, I was little, but like I think I had double digits, so it's not like I was that little, no same, I've always been a crybaby, me too. Yes, speaking of, I saw a recent post where you're like you felt like you did bad on the show and you got depressed. Does that happened a lot? Do you? What do you do?
Speaker 2:What do I do?
Speaker 1:Well, because like, ok, someone like you, or even like my friends, like it looks like you're thriving online and I'm like, ok, I'm not.
Speaker 2:So let's talk about like the first time you ever saw me play Dreamland mini golf, dreamland mini golf. Yeah, I was like wow OK no, I was so nervous, I felt like so awkward. I got my footing and the confidence later in the set but to start out the set I was like literally shaking.
Speaker 1:You were sitting there and I was like I have to impress this lady.
Speaker 2:She's so cool. Did you already know who I was? You got me the jumpsuit.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah so she dressed me.
Speaker 2:But then I was like just meeting you and I was like she's super cool. I don't want to be like amateur, no.
Speaker 1:I don't want to look like an amateur. No, even when it's not perfect, like your persona is perfect.
Speaker 2:OK.
Speaker 1:I don't know if that's worth anything to you. But like, how badly do you beat yourself up? Pretty bad, pretty bad. I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2:No, it's because I always know there'll be another opportunity. I'm always going to get a chance to do it again, but do you like take?
Speaker 1:a day off and just mope in bed. What do you do?
Speaker 2:What does that look like for you? Yeah, I'm trying to think. Mostly looks like complain. Oh, yeah, you just vent who listens?
Speaker 1:Your dad or your friends?
Speaker 2:Whoever I'm talking to, I try not to because, again, like I don't want, like you said, people think you're thriving. I don't want to put that negative. That was a lot for me to post. That post I posted.
Speaker 2:I mean, I hear you. It was a lot for me to be vulnerable in the way that I show something negative about my life, because my brand is all positive all the time and not positive. But life is good, and not just for me. It can be great for you too. Life and the party yeah, all of your parts are very inspirational.
Speaker 1:But I mean I get it Like I don't like to post, like oh, I'm sick, feel bad for me. But you know people that do that all the time. It's like or like self-deprecating. But I must say that it's really cool to once in a while stumble across something like that and be like, oh, she's real and I can relate to her and we're all going through it.
Speaker 2:These headphones are like woo, woo. I also feel like I'm yelling, because I'm like hello, I'm not yelling am I?
Speaker 1:No, it sounds very clear. So, yeah, I really do appreciate that post. I think people just need to see that someone like you has feelings, and it's not always up because everybody is having a shit year. From what I'm hearing, offline. I mean, doesn't it feel like a I don't know like a really bad year, even compared to 2020?
Speaker 2:I think life just keeps happening and like life is good and bad.
Speaker 1:You got to take the good with that.
Speaker 2:Stuff's got to change. Yeah, exactly what would you change? Just so, basically, so I don't have a job where I have a boss, like I am my own boss. So the problem is that, as the boss and the employee, I'm saying I don't want to work today, I want to go do whatever I want. And it always happens, guys, there's nobody there to say no stuff, but everything always gets done. The good thing is I've been in rehearsals. I call the rehearsals with the band. I'm like everybody get together, we practice. I practice every day because I have shows every weekend. I have a big one this weekend. I'm doing a celebration of life for a woman who used to come to my shows.
Speaker 1:She got cancer and died.
Speaker 2:So really sad, but the positive is OK, I can really work hard to put together a good performance for her friends and family and for her. Yeah, you knew her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah yeah, so I'm always working on the show.
Speaker 2:I'm always working on the songs. I do all the marketing and the accounting and the styling and the branding and the PR and the scheduling for my business which is an LLC.
Speaker 1:You're doing it well and even though you have a degree in business. I read that, which is such a good for you, Because when you're a creative a lot of times. That's what you're lacking is a business sense and how to do that. So I wish I would have done that. I just went to art school.
Speaker 2:What did you get your degree in?
Speaker 1:Art, just flat out art.
Speaker 2:But you are a full-time editor for big brands, big companies.
Speaker 1:That was kind of a fluke. Yeah, that's so cool. I do, I love it, and the whole industry is really slow these days. So I'm getting to do stuff like this in the meantime and I mean, yeah, it's going to be interesting once I get another gig and I'm now having to juggle 15 things. Oh sure, like another corporate gig.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think Teen Mom is coming back to some degree.
Speaker 2:Did I tell you about my MTV audition days? Tell me. When they fill me out 2016, I think. So I was bleach, blonde, yeah, and this girl that I was friends with, I guess, sent in an audition tape or application and she put me as like a reference, but it was by the time she got approved we were not friends anymore. So they were like, ok, let's bring her on a date.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's how we do it at MTV.
Speaker 2:So they wanted to.
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah a little drama.
Speaker 2:Oh, I wish it had worked out, but I was way too. I wasn't even 21. I think I was 20 or something. And so they wanted somebody to be able to drink and get kind of messy with it. I want to do it now, but I also don't want to do it now because it's like, like you said, the industry is kind of in a slump.
Speaker 1:Everything's on.
Speaker 2:TikTok.
Speaker 1:Everybody's doing their own yeah everybody's, even like Juliette Lewis, like all these big names are just making their own content. It's so wild. Who's Juliette Lewis? Uh-oh.
Speaker 2:I know the name. I only know one name.
Speaker 1:She was a natural born killers. And um Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Yeah, she was the daughter in Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, the first one You're like. What is that?
Speaker 2:Just like a likewise I know Vegas Vacation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's not her, though. Yeah, no.
Speaker 2:Christmas Vacation or European Vacation? That's not her either. No.
Speaker 1:They changed that role so many times. There's a lot of balladries. That's so weird.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's so weird and we're all just like that's fine Change your mom, as long as it's the main guy.
Speaker 1:Rusty Rusty Performing Favorite venues.
Speaker 2:Favorite venues Cuisine number one yeah, I'm there every Friday in a ball gown. Oh my gosh. So the owner, the two owners, are brothers. The owner, mano. He stands at the front. He's the host. Ok, and if there's somebody that I'm like, I know they're stalking me. He's turned people away before. Do you have stalkers?
Speaker 1:How many Like? Probably five or six, it's all good.
Speaker 2:It's like I got a handle on it. It's all good. So I like cuisine because I feel safe there and then, I really like them, like they're cool people. They work really hard yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and really Candy bacon.
Speaker 2:Really good food they're artists Every single dish they make, right, it's like every single song I play Like I'm going to serve the song. I'm going to service the song, they're going to service the dish, they're not going to just going to slap it together because it's Wednesday night.
Speaker 1:No, you could tell there's like some character there, so you're there every Friday, every Friday. I got to go there on Fridays. I always forget the martinis are amazing. Oh my god, two martinis and I'm done there.
Speaker 2:So I start at seven, I play seven to 10.
Speaker 1:OK, got to get that babysitter.
Speaker 2:You can bring your daughter. I mean, I have I know.
Speaker 1:We've done it, but it's better.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Of course.
Speaker 1:We need some date nights, yeah.
Speaker 2:How's Josh? He's good, such a cool guy.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:I know he's been so cool.
Speaker 1:But you're so cool, I don't know how I got lucky, though. I used to date scumbags, one after the other, and then fine, but he fell in love with you.
Speaker 2:Josh fell in love with you.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I think it was the other way around. I think it was both. I fell in love with him, and then we met as adults. Yeah, so I'm saying and then when it? Happened, it happened, and then he clung on and I was like, oh my god, is this happening?
Speaker 2:And then he lived in San Diego and I lived in New York, so it was weird, it's just so cool to have that partner, that you guys have both dedicated your lives to living together, raising kids, but still you're not giving up your cool factor. You know what I mean and that's important to me. People, I think, sweep that under the rug way too much and they're just like give up on life, give up on being artistic, give up on being creative and cool and funky and fresh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, I don't think I could do that Like I don't know. I think that's what maybe keeps us sane, because there are people that will get married and then their kids will just take over their life. And you're like who?
Speaker 2:are you? And also because I don't want to vilify kids, Are you wanting? That I do want kids I want a lot of kids, a lot of them. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:They are a lot of work.
Speaker 2:No, I know, I know I'm a little nervous.
Speaker 1:I think you might think twice after the first one what's the best party you've ever played at? Best party I've ever played at, I saw you, like it was like wintery. I don't know if you were down in Miami or something, but that looked like you were having fun there.
Speaker 2:That was a wedding at the Boca Beach Resort. I've also played Clevens parties Dr Ross Clevens.
Speaker 1:Oh, really so.
Speaker 2:Tara Clevens. His wife is a really good party planner and so I've played her New Year's Eve parties.
Speaker 1:You should have heard the guest I'd like to you know, clevens popped in my head.
Speaker 2:I don't know why, it was just his name's everywhere, so I'm like local celebrity he's on school.
Speaker 1:I don't know how to pin him down.
Speaker 2:What about Larry Larry? Relentless Larry Johnson?
Speaker 1:Yeah, his name was tossed around a bit I was just so.
Speaker 2:I was just at Pineapples with Larry Jeanette and Mayor Paul Alfrey, oh yeah, and they didn't know I was. I went out after cuisine and they were all having a drink, so joined them for a drink. That turned into us going to Salty Fox. Larry and Paul betting $100 on the fool table. Jesse was there.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, of course, fun. I know it's weird that I've never like you've never partied with Jesse. No, not yet. Anyway, he goes to party with us. I basically just met him. Oh yeah, take me out. He just met this guy. I just met him. He gave me the keys to the studio and the rest is history. But it's one of those things people just magnetize, right, if you're on the same wave, wave you're gonna meet them, you know.
Speaker 2:It's gonna happen.
Speaker 1:Do you have any like before stage rituals like what do you do to get pumped?
Speaker 2:That's a good question. What do I do, do you so? I pack my bags, you pack your bags.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bag lady.
Speaker 2:I make sure I have one of everything yeah. You know whether it's like flossers, hairspray, makeup, change of clothes, change of shoes, change of jewelry, different cables. Okay, so it's like the equipment stuff and then also like the personal, like. This is part of the show. Oh my god, it's yeah, so then I'll have an outfit for like after An outfit for loading in change into my performing outfit. Change.
Speaker 1:Because you're doing all the physical work. You don't have like roadies that do it for you. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Good for you. Sometimes I'll hire a roadie.
Speaker 1:I have friends, yeah.
Speaker 2:Like little 21 year olds that can lift the speakers. How much you pay them an hour. I do usually 10% of whatever I make, oh really, yeah. So, or like for my friend, I met him at the Kava Bar, sweet guy, and I just like slipped him 100. Nice. You know, yeah, let me just make his day. That's cool. Year, it's a year.
Speaker 1:I can afford it.
Speaker 2:So yeah, you have to treat him well, I've been tipping a lot recently because my tips have been really good. You tip with drugs, those are for me, yeah, oh my god Cut.
Speaker 1:I know who the freak is. Jack Star, the heavy metal. What is happening?
Speaker 2:there, jack Star is like one of the first people I met in the music scene here. He's another person who lives here, but he's like larger than life personality and also he has a really cool story, like he's been making music since he was.
Speaker 1:Heavy metal 80s yeah. And making it in a band yeah, like pushing his image, pushing his name, pushing it.
Speaker 2:And he can play guitar like my mother. So yeah, he met me when I was gigging at Harley Davidson in Pompeii.
Speaker 1:But he had messaged you before that, never having met you.
Speaker 2:Never having met me, he said if nobody Sorry, if you didn't exist, somebody would have to make you up, because you're the most interesting person I love that, what a compliment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what did it feel?
Speaker 2:It felt like, okay, this, this makes sense because I've been working on my image, not working on my brands, for a couple years before I started playing here. So I came, so I graduated high school satellite high school and I remember this very clear, this is like crystal clear to me Graduated high school, going to Eastern Florida State College, not really knowing the scene around here, knowing anybody not doing anything with music, right, like I wasn't playing, like I was, and driving past when Derek Gores had his gallery on the main O'Galley Street, okay, where it was like now it's Funky Dog, right, okay, and there's like a big pop up and I pass it and I'm like going to Orlando to hang out with people and, like, do stuff.
Speaker 1:I didn't know like there was a scene. I didn't know there was a scene here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I would go to Orlando. I lived in Orlando for a couple years in my friend's photo studio and you lived in the photo studio. He had like a pool house and I lived in the pool. We spoke a lot of we. That was just like what the whole thing revolved around and like all the guys were like wanted to be rappers, you know, and I was classically trained musician for 15 years so I was like cool, whatever, you guys want to be musicians. Like I didn't think of myself as a musician.
Speaker 2:You didn't know, I was just. I was just there for the party, okay. So I would throw parties out in Orlando and just kind of like socialize. You know what I mean. I was very in high school like volunteer you know straight lace? Yeah, for sure, but like I was, it was all business for me, like business all the time. Did you actually bring photo?
Speaker 1:I asked you to bring photos, yeah, I don't know for all the way back for whatever reason. I'm like we have to see, but I had a, I can't even imagine what you would look like without your current look, and it's surprising to hear that it didn't happen until after high school, yeah, way up, and then.
Speaker 2:So when I went to Eastern Florida, I met somebody in the library named AJ who played in vintage the rock band and hot pink. And he goes oh, you play violin, you should sit in with us. So I sat in with them for four years. My first gig was at Pinto's lounge in Titusville.
Speaker 1:Like a. Was that a Mexican joint?
Speaker 2:No, it's like a biker bar. Oh okay, and I had this violin. Somebody had given me a violin in Orlando like a fender, electric Stuff just happens to me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2:Just the natural progression of what's meant to happen. It's happened, so anyway, somebody gave me an electric violin and I couldn't tune it. So I asked this, like biker, to tune your violin, first gig playing. You know songs, I don't know Tom Petty. You know Rolling Stones like I. The only thing I'd ever played besides classical in the orchestra was at the Hennigar Center playing sheet music in the pit orchestra. Wow.
Speaker 1:You know.
Speaker 2:So I never played rock and roll. I never played. I don't know why I never thought to play like pop covers or well, there's not a lot of.
Speaker 1:The only one I know is Mary Ben Ari.
Speaker 2:Yes, I love her, she's amazing.
Speaker 1:She was a coach on this show that I worked on for MTV was called made Okay. So they would hook up like a high school student that wanted to like reinvent themselves and they would hook them up with like a coach. And she was one of them and I was like Holy shit, I've always loved the violin myself. I picked it up in Indiana as well.
Speaker 2:It was a perfect picture in high school and I used to dress super like 1950s like I was growing out my pixie cut so soft. Freshman sophomore year of high school. I had long brown hair I cut into a pixie.
Speaker 1:Here we go. Yeah, that is so, not you anymore.
Speaker 2:No no. Oh, you're a good little girl. Coconut head, coconut head, haircut no, it was cute. It was cute, so here you go. That's like a better is pre braces. So I also paid for my own braces a couple years ago. Oh yeah, that's so cute, shout out Russo orthodontics oh yeah, the best.
Speaker 1:Why did you pay for it?
Speaker 2:yourself. Why did I pay for it myself? Yeah, I'm ballin' like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I heard, they look good right.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, they look amazing. He's an artist Again the one thing about like your smile is part of the look to like. It's there.
Speaker 2:Somebody wrote a poem about my smile.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:You got it.
Speaker 1:Yep, got it on cue.
Speaker 2:Looks like an angel, sounds like an angel must be char good. Ever seen a lightning bolt and the rainbow at the same time? That's one of her smiles.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, your fans are the best Like.
Speaker 2:They capture you and they write about you, so I'll tell you a fan story when I was playing in Matt's Casbug and love that place because that was my my start. Yeah we're outside and you know how people are walking by on the sidewalk. Yeah, I'm like playing, I'm like looking around. I thought I see my friend and I thought it was him. So I go, hey, like give him a big old smile. Random guy ends up like one of my biggest fans.
Speaker 2:Oh, my gosh Following me Because you smile that time Because I was like yeah you should do that more often, but then you'll get like. I have to bring it, I have to reel it in sometimes, but it is, it is. Yeah, it is a lot of fun. He's some good fans to have supported people.
Speaker 1:You told me you went to some concerts recently. Yes, tell me, wow, you went to the One Direction guy. I'm such a nerd about it. This is the best story ever.
Speaker 2:Okay, this is the best story ever. So in June and July I took my first business vacation, meaning I took time off from my business and paid for it with my business.
Speaker 1:Nice Right, I was like feels so good yeah.
Speaker 2:So I went to Washington DC for the first time and I went to Boston, massachusetts, for the first time, and so when I was in Boston, it was one of my last days and I think it was the weekend, and so the whole weekend I was in Boston. Boston is smaller than I thought. I'm seeing the same groups of people wearing black and red and they're all girls, like younger girls, teenagers like okay, they must be doing something, like a concert or like I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like why are they wearing black and red? I thought it was Taylor Swift right, because I have redressed up for that. So I'm on one of my last days I'm walking around Fenway, and so Fenway is like a like a horseshoe kind of bobby pin shape, right, because you come around the corner and then up in the corner is MGM Musical. Okay, didn't know that. Yeah, right, but I'm just like whatever living life, like walk in, see a group of girls in front of me wearing black and red. I go hey, what are you girls dressed up for? They go oh, we're here for the Louis Tomlinson concert. We have two extra tickets. Do you want to go? What, literally Crazy. And and what was even crazier, was that morning like I packed when I travel. I was like pack a couple pieces and mix and match.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I wasn't sure what I was gonna wear. I thought I was gonna wear a dress and a jacket, but that morning specifically, I was like, let me wear something different, make something up. Black tank top, black mini skirt I actually got from you is like the one of the first things I bought from you is the it's the Versace mini skirt. That's like kind of sparkly black, sparkly red. Adidas jacket, pink bucket hat.
Speaker 1:So you were already in the.
Speaker 2:I was in black and red crazy crazy, so we're staying on the corner is super nice group of girls. We're like yeah, come to the concert, Send me the two tickets. They follow Louis Tomlinson around and help him sell out. Oh really they were not even from Boston, they were like from who knows like hardcore fans. Yeah, and that's kind of what his crowd was like, like hardcore fans.
Speaker 1:Cool.
Speaker 2:I'm staying in the back. I feel like 60 years old, like, I feel like they were like early 20s I mean, but they were some younger people there and it was all like screaming girls and yeah, it was just. It was just awesome though, because it was like a free concert MGM music hall.
Speaker 1:Yeah, amazing. Well, like you, just like found your way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's how it happened and the fact that that group was the one that I asked. You know what I mean? Yeah, like nice, you could have asked anybody. That's how life happens, though I think yeah, you just keep walking it was definitely like a gift from God.
Speaker 1:He was like here you go.
Speaker 2:They go that way, ask them. So that was awesome. And then I feel like that started my going to concerts bug, like I got bit.
Speaker 1:When was that Not this July? Yeah, I remember when you went right, you told me you were going but, I, never. Yeah, yeah, followed up with you.
Speaker 2:So my Philosophy before was like oh, I have to be prepared to go to a concert, I have to really know the artist. You know, but now memorize all the songs. Yeah, I was like it's such a big deal. Yeah, no, now I'm like I don't care.
Speaker 1:so then, because you were in a one-direction fan. You just stumbled it, I had.
Speaker 2:Louie Tomlinson. Like he, I didn't know one song by him.
Speaker 1:Did you?
Speaker 2:enjoy it. I Enjoyed it as a musician, as a performer, as, like somebody who does this who could be up on stage. I was like I could be up there right now playing, like that's not even me bragging, that's just like me being realistic with my abilities and my experience. Because his band was super good, they were carrying it. He disappointed me because he came out in Black tank top, grace whoop hands, looked like his pajamas. That's okay, I get it, you want to be sexy. But like he was not. He was almost nervous. Like he was not like connecting with the audience.
Speaker 2:They didn't care, yeah they're just like like he's there, he's there. Yeah, exactly, they're feral. Yeah they're feral for him, but it was like he was flat too, like he was not that on pitch singing. Yeah and that's also something I can look over, because we're not perfect, like I know. I'm not gonna be, you know, hitting every note every time, but like when you have that much money and that much like Ability was like dude, like service the show a little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had the best light show. He had the best band. His songs were pretty good like whoever wrote them, they did a good job, ever wrote them. Yeah, he did the one direction song night changes. That's like their one famous song, okay they're one and only their one direction besides what makes you beautiful. He won't do that one, obviously, but it's. It's interesting to see where the boys went with their music careers respectively.
Speaker 2:So, a Couple weeks ago I went to Orlando to see the psychedelic porn crumpets Australian band. I've never heard of them but I never heard of them either just this Friend was like come what? Yeah, did you like it? I loved it.
Speaker 1:Awesome.
Speaker 2:I didn't like the crowd. The crowd Orlando, it makes sense. They're like college kids. They're like a little bit nerdy. They're standing there like watching the show oh they're nerdy. I thought they were gonna be like too rough. Nobody was dancing, I was too rough and I'm like a hundred seven pound girl. I was like yeah, me and my friend were like yeah, and they were just like Every concerts got like something different, different vibes.

I mean, it's like I can. I can read it, but he's just said put her with some songwriters from original songwriters and give her the biggest stage we have. Yeah, yeah, everybody here, though, is obsessed with original music. There's something to it I mean I'm, you have the talent. I'm just saying you have the stage presence.
