it's a fun record.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I know.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I think this year I was telling everybody, I feel
like this year the music is going to be a
lot of down tempo, like R and b's making a
nice little comeback right now, it's gonna be that like
soul trap right, like right, you know that soul R
and B or whatever. But this comes in and it's
a fun club upbeat. Like the beat kicks in and
it's like yes.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, and I get straight to it. Like when I
first heard the beat, you know, it called me, it
called my attention. I was like, man, I got to
coach stright in with the verse. You know, I can't
leave them no space at chilling or nothing, no relax,
no nothing, coach straight in. And I think that's what
music is missing. I think we missing the funding in it.
Like you said, and the energetic like you know, happy
happy again, Like I want when you heard my music,
(01:55):
I want you to feel like you ride down sun
said boulevard, palm trees and sunshine. And that's that's how
I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
No, it's great, man.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And as a DJ who rocks, that's a fun record because,
like I said, that down type of records, it makes
it a little tough sometimes to make the room turn up,
you know what I meant? All right, So talk about
your music career. Man, how long you been doing this?
I know you got family members that are in the
music business. How long have you been doing it on
your own?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Now? Like making this happen on my own.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Really, I've been doing it for over ten years. It's
been a long time. So, yeah, this ain't luck.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know. I feel like this was destined. Yeah, you
feel me. I grind it. I never stopped.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I never gave up when people told me no, I
just I had okay cool and I just kept going.
I believe in myself. You know, I got a passion
for music. I got a passion for my music and
the people around me that believe in me.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So, you know, I just want to make my mama.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Proud, nice, and how is she liking everything? Obviously the
first ten years or even now. I mean, it's just
another level of where you're going right now. But we
also know there's a lot of heartache that comes with it,
a lot of nose, a lot of brick walls in
front of you.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You got to break those down, you know, And that's
as a parent.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I'm not a parent, but I know parents don't want
to see their kids hurting or struggling. That's why a
lot of times music and athletes is like, why.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Don't you go to school? And you know, so, how
was it with that with your family?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, well, my mom actually passed when I was younger,
so you know, but she actually supported when I was
really young and wanted to be a rapper, you know,
and she was like, okay, cool. She actually got me
like my first show, you know, and she did that.
But once she passed and everything, you know, I took it.
I took it really serious, you know. But as far
as my family, they support of But you got to
(03:32):
show people that you really want to do this, you know,
because when you tell somebody, man, I want to be
a rap I want to be a basketball player, they
just sound like, oh man, you can't really do that,
but like, no, I'm gonna show you.
Speaker 2 (03:42):

I stream on Twitch and I use Instagram a lot too,
so Twitch is Instagram is my too? Two things I
stream on Twitch and uploaw picks on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
So when it comes to twitch, what are you? What
are you doing on Twitch? Like you got to be
doing something special. I'm not really well what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm kind of like showing the fast that's growing with me,
you know, just the behind the scenes of what's going on,
you know, of an up and coming artist.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Like usually I would take them to the radio station.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I was showing when I'm getting ready my clothes, phoneo
shoots everything.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So you know, I'm just letting them become one with me. Okay,
and now I know you've been doing this for a
little bit. What's the end goal? When?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
When does little Sean say? Okay, I've met Jay Cole
said this perfectly. He said when I was He's like,
you're always in a hamster whel trying to chase Chase.
Is there a place that you would want to be
where you're like, Okay, I am good. Now this is
what my goal was?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Or is there no end goal?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I mean, I love music so much, I don't think
I would ever stop doing music. But just to answer
the question, I feel like my end goal when I
feel I don't think I ever be comfortable because I
just don't want that mentality, right, But when I think
I'm comfortable is when the machine is working itself, when
I can just sit back and sleep when I want
to sleep. I don't have to go on tour every day.
(11:58):
I don't gotta do shows every day, wake up and
do what I want to do. That's when I feel like, you.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Know, I succeeded nice And I always ask the new
young artist, you heard yourself on the radio.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You got super excited, super excited.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay, So talk to me about the difference between the
streaming world and the radio world.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
The radio wors like a it's a major stamp because
the radio been around forever. And you know, back in
the day when you used to hear bow Wild and
all of them on the radio, you're like, yo, that's somebody.
It don't matter nowhere else you heard that, or you
heard on the radio like he made it or he's
making or one of the others.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So that's that's how I feel about the big, big difference.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
When it comes to someone adding it onto a playlist
on anything, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yes, yes, not down playing playlist. Radio add me to
the playlist, but no, the radio.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I love the radio. It feels it feels really good. Nice,
and this is one of the first times you caught
yourself actually in the car. Yes, yes it is. It
actually is my first time actually catching it on the
radio in the car like live. See. That's the element
of surprise of radio too. That's the key of the
like oh yeah, like oh my song is on and
you shot yo shot. Yeah. No, it's crazy though, I
(13:08):
love it.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, congratulations, you got a great team around you.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I know you've been posting up like all these stations
that are playing it, but you really do feel like
you like are enjoying that moment too.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Man, I'm definitely soaking it all up right now, like
I'm really appreciating it. Yeah, and it haven't really just
hit me yet, Like they're like, man, you just got
edited this many stations and all this.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I'm like cool, Like I'm ready to have more stage.
So I'm gonna put game real quick.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The reason the streaming world and the radio radio is
concentrated when you're when Boston plays it, I have I
have a chance of two million people in Boston alone
that could hear your record, whereas social media it's a
worldwide number. So yeah, your two million streams are great,
but you're going up against a worldwide number, so you
don't know where that number is coming from. I mean,
you know, I know you do your analytics and stuff
(13:57):
like that, but when Boston or any city play, it's
only in that and that those eyes and ears are
in Boston at that moment.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, No, that's what That's what I love about it
right now, just like you say, looking at all the
analytics and having my manager tell me, like, yo, this
city planning it the most.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
This city plan. So I'm kind of like learning.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Where the support is strong at right now, and then
I'm learning also where I need to, like, oh, you
know what we need to work this area, Like I
want to take over.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Man, I'm trying. I'm trying to be the best.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And then doing this promo stuff. This is also new
for your young The young ones don't want to do
this promo stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
See, but talk to me. I'm a fan of the game.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I want to go back to real billboards, cups on
the highway and post us on the side of a building.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's what I want to do.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's exactly what I want to put flowers on cars
at the club, That's what I want to do. So
I want to come, you know, talk to the DJs
like I want to make everybody feel appreciated because, like
like I said before, plenty of times, y'all don't have
to do this.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You know what I'm saying. So I want to show
y'all that I appreciate child. You know what I'm saying.
And I'm just that kind of person. And you've got
a great personality too, So thank you.

coach stright in with the verse. You know, I can't
leave them no space at chilling or nothing, no relax,
no nothing, coach straight in. And I think that's what
music is missing. I think we missing the funding in it.
Like you said, and the energetic like you know, happy
happy again, Like I want when you heard my music,
(01:55):
I want you to feel like you ride down sun
said boulevard, palm trees and sunshine. And that's that's how
I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
No, it's great, man.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And as a DJ who rocks, that's a fun record because,
like I said, that down type of records, it makes
it a little tough sometimes to make the room turn up,
you know what I meant? All right, So talk about
your music career. Man, how long you been doing this?
I know you got family members that are in the
music business. How long have you been doing it on
your own?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Now? Like making this happen on my own.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Really, I've been doing it for over ten years. It's
been a long time. So, yeah, this ain't luck.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know. I feel like this was destined. Yeah, you
feel me. I grind it. I never stopped.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I never gave up when people told me no, I
just I had okay cool and I just kept going.
I believe in myself. You know, I got a passion
for music. I got a passion for my music and
the people around me that believe in me.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So, you know, I just want to make my mama.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Proud, nice, and how is she liking everything? Obviously the
first ten years or even now. I mean, it's just
another level of where you're going right now. But we
also know there's a lot of heartache that comes with it,
a lot of nose, a lot of brick walls in
front of you.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You got to break those down, you know, And that's
as a parent.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I'm not a parent, but I know parents don't want
to see their kids hurting or struggling. That's why a
lot of times music and athletes is like, why.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Don't you go to school? And you know, so, how
was it with that with your family?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, well, my mom actually passed when I was younger,
so you know, but she actually supported when I was
really young and wanted to be a rapper, you know,
and she was like, okay, cool. She actually got me
like my first show, you know, and she did that.
But once she passed and everything, you know, I took it.
I took it really serious, you know. But as far
as my family, they support of But you got to
(03:32):
show people that you really want to do this, you know,
because when you tell somebody, man, I want to be
a rap I want to be a basketball player, they
just sound like, oh man, you can't really do that,
but like, no, I'm gonna show you.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I'm gonna show you. This is one I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So that's that's how my family is, like I will
support it, but go to school, you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
That's that's how they feel about it. Nice.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I when I was younger, when I was the same thing,
like people were like, oh, you were gonna be a DJ,
and I use that as motivation to show them that
I'm actually gonna gonna be running.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, exactly. Nice. Nice. That's what's something that's okay.
Speaker 1 (04:03):

You're like, yo, looking down on the free tickets bro,
Like you're so saying to get that.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I got yeah, because I just genuinely love music and
I love concerts. Like my favorite part of a concert
is when they first come on stage because I'm watching
the reaction to everybody. I'm watching how they walk on stage.
I just watch, like you know, the production and things
like that, just how you how you do your thing
when you come out on stage. So I always love
to go to a concert, especially from my favorite.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Artists, and you're probably like observing how I mean, you're
also kind of work mode like that.

on stay, what they doing? You know, just everything how
the crowd react, Like what gets the crowd reaction? Like
do you just walk on stage? Do you pop on stage?

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Which one do you use the most? I heard you
say something by twitch too.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I stream on Twitch and I use Instagram a lot too,
so Twitch is Instagram is my too? Two things I
stream on Twitch and uploaw picks on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
So when it comes to twitch, what are you? What
are you doing on Twitch? Like you got to be
doing something special. I'm not really well what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm kind of like showing the fast that's growing with me,
you know, just the behind the scenes of what's going on,
you know, of an up and coming artist.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Like usually I would take them to the radio station.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I was showing when I'm getting ready my clothes, phoneo
shoots everything.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So you know, I'm just letting them become one with me. Okay,
and now I know you've been doing this for a
little bit. What's the end goal? When?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
When does little Sean say? Okay, I've met Jay Cole
said this perfectly. He said when I was He's like,
you're always in a hamster whel trying to chase Chase.
Is there a place that you would want to be
where you're like, Okay, I am good. Now this is
what my goal was?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Or is there no end goal?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I mean, I love music so much, I don't think
I would ever stop doing music. But just to answer
the question, I feel like my end goal when I
feel I don't think I ever be comfortable because I
just don't want that mentality, right, But when I think
I'm comfortable is when the machine is working itself, when
I can just sit back and sleep when I want
to sleep. I don't have to go on tour every day.
(11:58):
I don't gotta do shows every day, wake up and
do what I want to do. That's when I feel like, you.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Know, I succeeded nice And I always ask the new
young artist, you heard yourself on the radio.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You got super excited, super excited.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay, So talk to me about the difference between the
streaming world and the radio world.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
The radio wors like a it's a major stamp because
the radio been around forever. And you know, back in
the day when you used to hear bow Wild and
all of them on the radio, you're like, yo, that's somebody.
It don't matter nowhere else you heard that, or you
heard on the radio like he made it or he's
making or one of the others.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So that's that's how I feel about the big, big difference.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
When it comes to someone adding it onto a playlist
on anything, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yes, yes, not down playing playlist. Radio add me to
the playlist, but no, the radio.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I love the radio. It feels it feels really good. Nice,
and this is one of the first times you caught
yourself actually in the car. Yes, yes it is. It
actually is my first time actually catching it on the
radio in the car like live. See. That's the element
of surprise of radio too. That's the key of the
like oh yeah, like oh my song is on and
you shot yo shot. Yeah. No, it's crazy though, I
(13:08):
love it.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, congratulations, you got a great team around you.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I know you've been posting up like all these stations
that are playing it, but you really do feel like
you like are enjoying that moment too.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Man, I'm definitely soaking it all up right now, like
I'm really appreciating it. Yeah, and it haven't really just
hit me yet, Like they're like, man, you just got
edited this many stations and all this.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I'm like cool, Like I'm ready to have more stage.
So I'm gonna put game real quick.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The reason the streaming world and the radio radio is
concentrated when you're when Boston plays it, I have I
have a chance of two million people in Boston alone
that could hear your record, whereas social media it's a
worldwide number. So yeah, your two million streams are great,
but you're going up against a worldwide number, so you
don't know where that number is coming from. I mean,
you know, I know you do your analytics and stuff
(13:57):
like that, but when Boston or any city play, it's
only in that and that those eyes and ears are
in Boston at that moment.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, No, that's what That's what I love about it
right now, just like you say, looking at all the
analytics and having my manager tell me, like, yo, this
city planning it the most.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
This city plan. So I'm kind of like learning.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Where the support is strong at right now, and then
I'm learning also where I need to, like, oh, you
know what we need to work this area, Like I
want to take over.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Man, I'm trying. I'm trying to be the best.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And then doing this promo stuff. This is also new
for your young The young ones don't want to do
this promo stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
See, but talk to me. I'm a fan of the game.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I want to go back to real billboards, cups on
the highway and post us on the side of a building.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's what I want to do.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's exactly what I want to put flowers on cars
at the club, That's what I want to do. So
I want to come, you know, talk to the DJs
like I want to make everybody feel appreciated because, like
like I said before, plenty of times, y'all don't have
to do this.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You know what I'm saying. So I want to show
y'all that I appreciate child. You know what I'm saying.
And I'm just that kind of person. And you've got
a great personality too, So thank you.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Work.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
A lot of kids want to come in here and
they're like, what's up. I ain't too cool man, I
ain't too cool man. I'm trying to be a star.
I love it, man, Let's do it one more time?
