3:00 Speaker 7: Welcome sir, Hello, Hello, Hello, it's good to have you

3:03 Speaker 7: back on the show. It's it's been a little while.

3:05 Speaker 5: Yeah, it has been been a little while.

3:06 Speaker 7: You've been busy. That that track, of course, the sixth

3:09 Speaker 7: sonata great.

3:10 Speaker 5: I love that, Thank you, thank you so much.

3:12 Speaker 7: I got a question about that right off the top.

3:14 Speaker 7: So and I've noticed this was some of your other

3:16 Speaker 7: songs too, like is it is it difficult to because

3:20 Speaker 7: your your flow, your style is so like how do

3:25 Speaker 7: you have time to breathe while you're you know, especially

3:29 Speaker 7: like like the song starts and that first verse comes

3:31 Speaker 7: in and it's like, oh my god, like how does

3:32 Speaker 7: he even do that?

3:33 Speaker 5: Yeah?

3:33 Speaker 1: So, so first I have to write the songs, obviously,

3:39 Speaker 1: and I try to I try to write it as

3:46 Speaker 1: like a single a single verse that like the first

3:49 Speaker 1: set of time or course at a time. Yeah, And

3:51 Speaker 1: I try to try to make that as complicated as

3:55 Speaker 1: I can a.

3:58 Speaker 5: Lyrically.

3:59 Speaker 1: And then and I'll practice it over and over and

4:02 Speaker 1: over again. Yeah, find where to put the breaths. Okay,

4:06 Speaker 1: So I take a lot of really fast, sharp breaths.

4:09 Speaker 7: Yeah.

4:10 Speaker 5: Yeah. If you listen really closely, sometimes you can hear them.

4:13 Speaker 7: Oh okidding.

4:13 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.

4:14 Speaker 7: No, it's impressive when you're writing these, because I mean

4:19 Speaker 7: that song is is one example I've noticed. I mean,

4:21 Speaker 7: that's your style and a lot of these, like I said,

4:23 Speaker 7: when you're writing them, do you ever do you ever think,

4:26 Speaker 7: m this might be too much? I don't know, or

4:29 Speaker 7: do you just write it and then it's like Okay,

4:31 Speaker 7: now now I have to live up to the challenge

4:33 Speaker 7: that I've created for myself and I wrote it. Now

4:36 Speaker 7: I got to do it.

4:37 Speaker 5: That's that's exactly it. Yeah.

4:39 Speaker 1: I love to challenge myself. I love to to push

4:42 Speaker 1: myself past my boundaries. Yea, And I mean that's that's

4:46 Speaker 1: the reason that I've gotten this far in my musical

4:49 Speaker 1: career is because of that pushing and pushing.

4:51 Speaker 5: Yeah.

4:52 Speaker 7: Yeah. Another thing too, I've noticed about a lot of

4:55 Speaker 7: your songs is, you know, there seems to be a theme.

4:57 Speaker 7: You know, there's a lot of empowerment, positivity, but without

5:02 Speaker 7: being preachy, which is cool because you can, you know,

5:04 Speaker 7: you can beat somebody over the head with it and

5:05 Speaker 7: then and actually push them away with that stuff too.

5:08 Speaker 7: But but you presented in a way that is fun,

5:12 Speaker 7: for lack of a better word, I mean, it's just

5:13 Speaker 7: kind of fun to The songs are fun, they're fun

5:16 Speaker 7: to listen to. But also but they're not preachy. They're

5:20 Speaker 7: just more like kind of encouraging and and and unity too.

5:23 Speaker 7: That seems to be a theme too. There's a lot

5:25 Speaker 7: of you know, like in that track, in the lyrics,

5:27 Speaker 7: there's a lot of you know, we're in this together,

5:30 Speaker 7: you know.

5:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, so there's there's just so much negativity

5:35 Speaker 1: and and like segregation and and division, and there's just

5:41 Speaker 1: there's so much of that apparent in every industry, and

5:46 Speaker 1: I just want to, you know, I want to bring

5:48 Speaker 1: a different message.

5:48 Speaker 5: You know.

5:49 Speaker 1: It's that we don't have to versus each other. You know,

5:52 Speaker 1: we can we can work together and work off of

5:55 Speaker 1: each other.

5:56 Speaker 5: And and I mean.

5:58 Speaker 1: Obviously I feel really strongly about those ideals. So it

6:01 Speaker 1: it's it comes through I wouldn't say easily, but but

6:07 Speaker 1: it flows into the musical creation. You know, like I'll

6:11 Speaker 1: get I'll get a basic idea and then, like I

6:15 Speaker 1: try to, I try to give myself a subject.

6:18 Speaker 5: And then.

6:21 Speaker 1: Along with that that subject, I like to keep that,

6:24 Speaker 1: you know, the togetherness and the community and the positivity

6:29 Speaker 1: and try to wrap it all up into to one,

6:32 Speaker 1: you know, nice little package.

6:34 Speaker 7: Yeah. So since the last time we talked, it sounds like,

6:38 Speaker 7: you know, we talked a little bit off air. It

6:39 Speaker 7: sounds like you've been pretty busy.

6:40 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, super super busy. I've done I've done at

6:44 Speaker 1: least two shows a month since since the since the

6:47 Speaker 1: last radio show. Yeah, and I still host an open

6:51 Speaker 1: mic once a month. Excellent through positive street art okay,

6:54 Speaker 1: And we talked about them before.

6:55 Speaker 5: Yeah, they're they're still going super strong too. Uh. We

7:00 Speaker 5: got big moves from making this year excellent.

7:06 Speaker 7: What else, Well, that's a lot there. Can you actually,

7:09 Speaker 7: can you tell us a little bit more about positive

7:11 Speaker 7: street art? And I know we've talked about it before,

7:13 Speaker 7: but for newer listeners who might not know, because this

7:14 Speaker 7: is a this is a great thing that a lot

7:16 Speaker 7: of people probably aren't aware of.

7:17 Speaker 1: So that's a It's a nonprofit based out of National Newmpshire.

7:20 Speaker 1: We've we've kind of spread our wings a bit and

7:22 Speaker 1: we do a bunch of stuff in Manchester, Yeah, and

7:25 Speaker 1: Excellent and and a few other places too. But it's

7:29 Speaker 1: our mission is to inspire passion for the the urban

7:32 Speaker 1: arts in a productive way through community workshops, artistic services

7:37 Speaker 1: and and community events. And we had we had this

7:44 Speaker 1: the Summer Stroll that we in Nashville and New Hampshire

7:47 Speaker 1: that we teamed up over over the summer. Yeah, and

7:51 Speaker 1: and it was the second year we did it, and

7:52 Speaker 1: it was it was a big hit. I think eventually

7:55 Speaker 1: it might uh, it'll keep expanding, you know, kind of

8:00 Speaker 1: like the Winter Stroll in in in Nashua. It you know,

8:05 Speaker 1: it started out as as whatever, and now it's grown too.

8:08 Speaker 1: You know, ten thousand or more people show up every

8:11 Speaker 1: year for it. So I'm we're we're hoping that the

8:15 Speaker 1: Summer Stroll, you know kind of it builds momentum and

8:18 Speaker 1: we can grow every year. But it's you know, it's

8:21 Speaker 1: a it's a great it's a great organization to get into.

8:27 Speaker 1: Not only for just you know, to get a mural

8:31 Speaker 1: painted on your wall or whatever, but we have tons

8:32 Speaker 1: of programs for for different communities, you know, for for

8:45 Speaker 1: painting and for for uplifting and you know, the whole

8:48 Speaker 1: community thing. I also run the I host open mics

8:55 Speaker 1: through Positive street Art and and that's you know that

8:59 Speaker 1: that part of it, it was, you know, part of

9:01 Speaker 1: it was was a way for me to to expand

9:06 Speaker 1: my my ability to get on the mic or get

9:11 Speaker 1: on a stage. Now I was I was at the

9:13 Speaker 1: beginning of the of the of the the whole music

9:19 Speaker 1: thing that I've been doing. Yeah, and uh, and I

9:22 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of decided, you know, if I

9:24 Speaker 1: don't just have random places, you know, a lot of

9:27 Speaker 1: times I went to a few open mics over the

9:29 Speaker 1: years and stuff, and and I I like the I

9:32 Speaker 1: like the feel of it and everything, and and I

9:34 Speaker 1: was like, you know, I could I could probably do

9:36 Speaker 1: something myself like this through Positive street art, you know,

9:39 Speaker 1: because it's you know, it's a music is is intertwined

9:44 Speaker 1: and and and everything, right, you know, it's just as

9:47 Speaker 1: much part of the the urban culture as anything else. Absolutely, so,

9:52 Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, I I I felt I wanted

9:55 Speaker 1: a place where I could you know, improve my craft yea,

9:59 Speaker 1: and build up my stage presence.

10:02 Speaker 7: Yeah, and smart smart way to go about it.

10:04 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

10:05 Speaker 1: And then and then at the same time, it's giving

10:07 Speaker 1: a place for other people with the same mindset as

10:11 Speaker 1: me where where they don't they're not ready for a

10:14 Speaker 1: big crowd or something like that, and they want to start,

10:16 Speaker 1: you know, honing their craft. So you know, you get

10:19 Speaker 1: on the mic in front of a very very limited crowd.

10:22 Speaker 1: You know, not a lot of people show up to it,

10:24 Speaker 1: so so a lot of times it's just, uh, it's

10:27 Speaker 1: just a six minds combined jam session.

10:30 Speaker 7: Okay, okay, Where does this happen? Where do you do?

10:33 Speaker 1: It's at Positive Shootout headquarters in Nash, New Hampshire.

10:37 Speaker 5: It's at forty eight Bridge Street, third floor, okay, oh,

10:41 Speaker 5: very cool. Yeah.

10:42 Speaker 1: If if you look us a positive shootout dot org,

10:44 Speaker 1: we're always posting different things that we're doing. We curate

10:50 Speaker 1: a bunch of like artists, and not just at our headquarters,

10:58 Speaker 1: but at different places. I know there's a couple of

10:59 Speaker 1: places in Manchester that we get things that I don't.

11:02 Speaker 1: I don't know all the names of the program. There's

11:05 Speaker 1: so much.

11:06 Speaker 7: Which is that's good. There's a lot going on there

11:08 Speaker 7: that's excellent.

11:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

11:11 Speaker 7: So, so was that was positive street art before? Like,

11:14 Speaker 7: in other words, were you doing that before Six Minds

11:17 Speaker 7: Combined became.

11:21 Speaker 5: So?

11:22 Speaker 1: So I've been I've been doing I've been making music

11:25 Speaker 1: and I had the whole Six Minds Combined Moniker for

11:28 Speaker 1: years and years and years. Okay, but I wasn't doing anything.

11:32 Speaker 1: I just made music for fun for myself, yeah, and

11:36 Speaker 1: uh and friends or whatever. And you know, I I

11:39 Speaker 1: I always had the hope that you know, someday it

11:41 Speaker 1: would become something, but but it wasn't. It wasn't the drive,

11:46 Speaker 1: you know. And then I had I had gotten into

11:51 Speaker 1: some trouble and I had to do community service. Yeah,

11:54 Speaker 1: my friend Gillian Anderson pointed me towards U positive street

11:59 Speaker 1: art and and at the time, my very good friend

12:03 Speaker 1: to this day, Tom Lopez, he was the vice president,

12:07 Speaker 1: and he kind of took me under his wing and

12:09 Speaker 1: and uh and I screamed through all the community service

12:14 Speaker 1: hours and they were like, hey, you know you you're

12:17 Speaker 1: you've been doing this. You want to continue to do this.

12:20 Speaker 1: And then shortly after that, I was like, of course

12:23 Speaker 1: I do. And then shortly after that they're like, hey,

12:25 Speaker 1: well you want to join our board.

12:27 Speaker 5: And so I've been. I've been on their board of

12:29 Speaker 5: directors for for a bunch of years now. I think

12:31 Speaker 5: it's fantastic.

12:32 Speaker 1: I think it's you know, coming on ten years part

12:35 Speaker 1: of that organization.

12:36 Speaker 5: Yeah wow.

12:37 Speaker 1: And so you know, we've we've had dance programs, we've

12:41 Speaker 1: had we've had all sorts of stuff.

12:44 Speaker 5: And I was, you know, just hit me.

12:46 Speaker 1: At one point, I was like, you know what, why

12:47 Speaker 1: don't I Why don't I, you know, introduced the musical

12:51 Speaker 1: side of this to to the to you know what,

12:55 Speaker 1: because there was dancing and you know, things like that,

12:57 Speaker 1: and I was I was like, you know, but like

12:59 Speaker 1: like at CORE, I'm a musician, and I felt like

13:05 Speaker 1: that needed to be a part of the whole positive

13:07 Speaker 1: street art thing. So yeah, so that I came up

13:10 Speaker 1: with the idea for the open mic and and.

13:13 Speaker 5: The rest of the board loved it.

13:14 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they jumped on it, and and we've been

13:18 Speaker 1: doing it ever since.

13:19 Speaker 7: So when you started doing the open mics, was that

13:21 Speaker 7: what kind of like did you already have the idea

13:24 Speaker 7: that if if these open mics go well and I

13:27 Speaker 7: feel confident in front of an audience, maybe I'll kind

13:32 Speaker 7: of start to do more with six minds.

13:34 Speaker 1: That's yeah, it was basically hand in hand, you know.

13:37 Speaker 1: I had the idea for the open mic, yeah, and

13:44 Speaker 1: then it was you know, facilitating the equipment to do that.

13:47 Speaker 1: Originally they were thinking about buying the stuff and I

13:51 Speaker 1: was then I I I had a conversation with the

13:55 Speaker 1: person I was making music with at the time. They

13:58 Speaker 1: wanted to go off and do a different project and

14:03 Speaker 1: sat down with me and was like, hey, you know,

14:04 Speaker 1: we've been making all this stuff together. He's like, I don't.

14:08 Speaker 1: I don't expect anything out of it, you know, I don't.

14:11 Speaker 1: I don't need to get paid, I don't need royalties

14:13 Speaker 1: or anything like that. He's like, he's like, you take

14:15 Speaker 1: this and do whatever you want. With it, do something

14:17 Speaker 1: with it. I was like, you know, that's a great idea.

14:19 Speaker 1: I should do something with it. And so I made

14:22 Speaker 1: that decision that I was going to start working on music.

14:24 Speaker 1: Then I met Eleanor and it just it just cascaded

14:29 Speaker 1: from there. And but it kind of happened at the

14:32 Speaker 1: same time, you know, I made that decision after deciding.

14:38 Speaker 1: So it was so the open mic decision came first,

14:42 Speaker 1: and then I decided to do the six months thing

14:46 Speaker 1: well to start pushing it. And then I was like, well,

14:49 Speaker 1: I'm going to need equipment for this to do my performances,

14:52 Speaker 1: So why don't I just get the equipment for the

14:54 Speaker 1: open mic and then that'll start me on my path.

14:57 Speaker 5: I'll have I'll have no excuse not to move forward.

15:01 Speaker 7: There you go, There you go, exactly. Yeah, which is

15:03 Speaker 7: a great way to motivate yourself, right, I put yourself

15:05 Speaker 7: in a position where you got to do it.

15:07 Speaker 5: Yeah.

15:07 Speaker 1: I mean I spent I spent a few thousand dollars

15:09 Speaker 1: on the on the performance equipment.

15:11 Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah. So once you spend that kind of money, yeah,

15:14 Speaker 7: you gotta do it.

15:15 Speaker 5: Yeah. Exactly.

15:16 Speaker 1: It's like, look looking at a big hole in my waile,

15:19 Speaker 1: like well, did I just shoot a hole in my

15:21 Speaker 1: pocket or am I going to do something with this?

15:24 Speaker 1: And and uh, it's been it's been so worth it. Yeah,

15:28 Speaker 1: you know, I've, like I said, I've, I've I've performed

15:31 Speaker 1: at least two shows a month since I've started, So

15:34 Speaker 1: it's been.

15:35 Speaker 5: Over a year now. Yeah, and just pushing and pushing.

15:38 Speaker 1: I got the released the first album with the seven

15:41 Speaker 1: songs last year September ish I think it was, and

15:45 Speaker 1: then I have three three songs released singles since then. Yeah,

15:50 Speaker 1: one I just released last last week or the week before.

15:54 Speaker 1: It was very very recently. It just it just jumped

15:57 Speaker 1: on the platforms a couple of days ago. Okay, okay, yeah,

16:01 Speaker 1: so yeah the sixth sonata.

16:04 Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, we were talking off air. I can't say

16:08 Speaker 7: I've never been able to say anything with an X

16:12 Speaker 7: THH at the end sixth. I guess I can kind

16:15 Speaker 7: of do it, but I have to slow it down,

16:17 Speaker 7: like I can't say it fast. But I think a

16:19 Speaker 7: lot of people like that, like if I say it fast,

16:21 Speaker 7: I'm just going to say the sixth sonata. So I'm

16:23 Speaker 7: literally just saying six. If I slow it down, I

16:26 Speaker 7: can do it. The sixth sonata. But even that, that

16:29 Speaker 7: sounds very awkward. I sound like I'm listening. Yeah, that

16:31 Speaker 7: sounds very awkward. But yeah, I've always had trouble with that.

16:34 Speaker 7: But no, that's that's that's great. I'm curious too when

16:38 Speaker 7: you started performing live, because you write, you write these songs.

16:42 Speaker 7: You know, as we talked about a few minutes ago,

16:44 Speaker 7: the lyrics are complex. And you know, something I've always

16:48 Speaker 7: said to something that rappers never get enough credit for

16:52 Speaker 7: is the memory skills needed for that. Because any rock song,

16:58 Speaker 7: you know, unless it's something extremely worse like I don't

17:00 Speaker 7: know one week by Bare Naked Ladies, right right, But

17:03 Speaker 7: but almost any rock song, you know, it's pretty easy

17:06 Speaker 7: to learn the words, right, you know. But uh, but

17:11 Speaker 7: something like especially like what you're doing, there's some pretty

17:15 Speaker 7: serious memory skills involved there, right to remember all of that.

17:18 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, like when you started performing live, was that

17:21 Speaker 7: a challenge at all?

17:22 Speaker 1: It was definitely and it still is now. You know,

17:24 Speaker 1: I'm every every show if you pay close attention. I

17:29 Speaker 1: don't want to say every show, but but very often

17:33 Speaker 1: you'll find that I'll pause for a couple of seconds

17:36 Speaker 1: and that'll be me completely forgetting. Yeah, it happens more

17:42 Speaker 1: often than anybody notices, right right, because when you're right,

17:45 Speaker 1: when you're writ in during the performance and you just

17:47 Speaker 1: keep going, you know, nobody noticebody knows unless they really

17:52 Speaker 1: really know the song.

17:53 Speaker 7: Yeah.

17:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, my close friends that come to every single show,

17:56 Speaker 1: they're like, they give me the look like, oh, you

18:00 Speaker 1: messed up. Yeah, but yes, it's it's it's very, very

18:05 Speaker 1: difficult to remember the lyrics. I've always had memory issues

18:09 Speaker 1: ever since I was a little kid. It's really hard

18:11 Speaker 1: for me to memorize things. So so when I was

18:16 Speaker 1: a kid, I found that the easiest way for me

18:19 Speaker 1: to remember something is have a jingle to it. Okay,

18:24 Speaker 1: you know, so, so no matter what it was, you know,

18:26 Speaker 1: like if if I had to remember two plus two

18:30 Speaker 1: is for you know, things like that, it just it

18:33 Speaker 1: made it so much easier for me to retain interesting knowledge. Yeah,

18:37 Speaker 1: it's it's almost like like a sound pattern, and I

18:43 Speaker 1: practice in order in order.

18:45 Speaker 5: To to to to remember them.

18:48 Speaker 1: I practice, I won't say every single day, but pretty

18:51 Speaker 1: close to every day. I listen to my music every day. Yeah,

18:53 Speaker 1: and I try to perform them even whether I'm in.

18:57 Speaker 5: My car or at work.

19:00 Speaker 1: I try to perform them every time I listen to them,

19:03 Speaker 1: and so so that helps.

19:04 Speaker 5: But I have to I do.

19:05 Speaker 1: I have to practice every every single day, every couple

19:08 Speaker 1: of days. If I have a show coming up, I'll

19:11 Speaker 1: practice two or three times a day, just just to

19:15 Speaker 1: to create the habit. And you know what's funny is

19:18 Speaker 1: I actually find I'll be driving in my car, I'll

19:21 Speaker 1: be I'll be playing the performance track so it doesn't

19:24 Speaker 1: have all the words on it. Yeah, I'll be singing

19:26 Speaker 1: along with it, and then I'll start daydreaming and I'll

19:29 Speaker 1: start thinking about something else, and then I'll remember that

19:32 Speaker 1: I was singing and I sang every single word. Yeah,

19:36 Speaker 1: Because it's it's become a habit net, right, So so

19:40 Speaker 1: muscle memory, vocal memory, and breathing memory. It's so it's

19:46 Speaker 1: so embedded in my habits now that that I can

19:50 Speaker 1: do it without even thinking about it sometimes.

19:51 Speaker 7: Yeah, and your memory has probably improved over time because

19:55 Speaker 7: of of what you're doing. I just saw it too,

19:58 Speaker 7: a study little bit of a side street. But it

20:02 Speaker 7: does relate to what we're talking about somewhat, is about

20:05 Speaker 7: how if you make creating music, whether even if you're

20:10 Speaker 7: just practicing scales on a guitar or whatever you're doing

20:13 Speaker 7: as you get older, it actually helps to stave off

20:16 Speaker 7: things like dementia yeah and such.

20:18 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yep that there's been studies that prove that.

20:21 Speaker 7: Yeah.

20:22 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.

20:24 Speaker 1: Another thing I do to help myself with my my

20:27 Speaker 1: alertness and quick thinking, and it really helps for me

20:33 Speaker 1: waking up fully in the morning too. I have the

20:35 Speaker 1: alarms on my phone. I have to solve a math

20:39 Speaker 1: problem to turn off the alarm.

20:42 Speaker 7: Interesting.

20:42 Speaker 1: So, the first couple of weeks I did it, I

20:45 Speaker 1: would wake up super groggy, and I would get I

20:47 Speaker 1: would get heated because I couldn't think straight enough to

20:51 Speaker 1: do four plus sixteen you know.

20:53 Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, it wasn't computing.

20:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, but after those first couple of weeks, it started

20:56 Speaker 1: getting easier and easier and easier. And now years into it,

21:00 Speaker 1: my alarm goes off. I'm instantly wide awake and I

21:03 Speaker 1: can solve complicated math problems.

21:06 Speaker 5: Cool, I can.

21:07 Speaker 1: I can make the decision to get up and do

21:09 Speaker 1: my thing or go back to sleep and get a

21:11 Speaker 1: little bit more sleep.

21:12 Speaker 5: Yeah.

21:12 Speaker 1: But but there's no like groggy wake up period now,

21:15 Speaker 1: so I'm either asleep or I'm awake.

21:18 Speaker 5: Oh, that's interesting. Wow, Yeah, it is.

21:19 Speaker 1: It is in and I recommend it to people all

21:22 Speaker 1: the time, if you if you can, if you can

21:25 Speaker 1: deal with it for that first part of it, because

21:28 Speaker 1: like I said, like I was waking up and I

21:30 Speaker 1: was getting so mad, right, But yeah, that that and

21:37 Speaker 1: and uh and the the the trying to remember the

21:44 Speaker 1: songs practicing them all the time. It's also that that

21:49 Speaker 1: his uh given me motivation to do everythings. Like I'm

21:55 Speaker 1: I'm really I'm really bad at remembering people's names. So

21:59 Speaker 1: I do another vocal practice. When I meet somebody and

22:02 Speaker 1: they say their name, repeat it right away, and then

22:05 Speaker 1: I try to repeat it one more time so that

22:08 Speaker 1: I'm hearing it once and then saying it twice. Yeah,

22:11 Speaker 1: And it's it's been helping, Yeah, but mostly with people

22:16 Speaker 1: that I already know, Like Matt is an easy one

22:18 Speaker 1: to remember because I know thirty thousand maths.

22:20 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, ye.

22:23 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's uh, it is a memory. It is

22:27 Speaker 1: a memory task, and I gotta constantly be on top

22:31 Speaker 1: of it or or or off all behind. I notice,

22:33 Speaker 1: like if I go three or four days without practicing

22:35 Speaker 1: my songs, yeah, and I go to practice, I'm stumbling

22:38 Speaker 1: over the like the first couple of words or or

22:41 Speaker 1: I'm getting to the complicated part of the song and

22:45 Speaker 1: then like getting all tongue twisted.

22:47 Speaker 5: Yeah. So it's it's it's.

22:48 Speaker 1: Really and not only remembering the words, but being able

22:53 Speaker 1: to say them in in in a speedy fashion, you know,

22:57 Speaker 1: because and like the breathing and everything, I have to

23:00 Speaker 1: I have to remember where all my breaths are. I

23:02 Speaker 1: have to take them at exactly the same time, exactly

23:04 Speaker 1: the same speed.

23:05 Speaker 7: Oh that's interesting. Okay, so you commit that to memory

23:07 Speaker 7: as well, exactly where you're taking Oh interesting, Okay.

23:11 Speaker 1: I do a lot of cadence change with with my

23:14 Speaker 1: lyrics as well, so I have to memorize all that

23:16 Speaker 1: as well.

23:18 Speaker 7: How long does it take you to, like, after you've

23:20 Speaker 7: written it and you're and then you have to learn it,

23:23 Speaker 7: you have to to be able to perform it, Like,

23:25 Speaker 7: how long does that take? I mean I must take

23:26 Speaker 7: some time? Right?

23:27 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yep.

23:28 Speaker 1: So I'm I have a song completely written and I've

23:32 Speaker 1: practiced it, you know, one hundred two hundred times before

23:36 Speaker 1: I even perform it in front of somebody at an

23:39 Speaker 1: open mic. Okay, yeah, so I'm and one thing I

23:42 Speaker 1: like to do as well. Is I'll make the song,

23:46 Speaker 1: I'll record it, and then I'll listen to it. Yeah,

23:49 Speaker 1: and I'll read the lyrics and that that seems to

23:52 Speaker 1: help train me to remember them. Okay, but then once

23:57 Speaker 1: I get to the point where it's memorized, if I

24:00 Speaker 1: pull out those lyrics, I just it messes me up

24:03 Speaker 1: stumbling over it.

24:04 Speaker 5: Yeah.

24:04 Speaker 1: So there's like there's like a period of time where

24:07 Speaker 1: I have to stop with the note So yeah, so

24:11 Speaker 1: I'll I'll I'll practice for a couple of weeks, I'll

24:15 Speaker 1: write the song, practice for a couple of weeks, I'll

24:18 Speaker 1: record it, and then and then, like I said, I'll

24:21 Speaker 1: sing along with it and then and then I just

24:25 Speaker 1: have to put the notebook aside and try to remember

24:29 Speaker 1: the lyrics as I'm going and then, like if I

24:32 Speaker 1: get stuck at a point, yeah, pull it out real quick,

24:35 Speaker 1: look at it.

24:35 Speaker 5: And then I tend to.

24:39 Speaker 1: My my mind tends to create like patterns. So if

24:46 Speaker 1: you if you asked me to sing any part of

24:50 Speaker 1: my song right now, like like even the start of

24:53 Speaker 1: a verse, if I didn't start at the beginning, I'll

24:57 Speaker 1: have a hard time remembering. I have to start from

24:59 Speaker 1: the beginning of this and then sing through it like

25:02 Speaker 1: ABC's You know.

25:04 Speaker 7: If you don't start from the beginning, it's hard to

25:06 Speaker 7: just pick up in the middle of the alphabet and

25:08 Speaker 7: got right.

25:08 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, yep, yep, yep. So it's like that with

25:10 Speaker 1: my lyrics. Yeah, oh, what did you say? You're on

25:15 Speaker 1: your third verse in in halfway through you talked about this,

25:20 Speaker 1: this this I have to think about it, and I

25:21 Speaker 1: have to go, what did I talk about that? Yeah,

25:24 Speaker 1: and then and then reread it and then remember what

25:29 Speaker 1: the what the metaphor meant to me at the time,

25:32 Speaker 1: or or or what I was trying to portray with

25:36 Speaker 1: the with the uh the selection of words that I use.

25:39 Speaker 5: Yep, yeah, yeah, so it is.

25:41 Speaker 7: That makes sense. That makes sense if you're just join us,

25:44 Speaker 7: we're talking with six Minds Combined. Your real name, of

25:47 Speaker 7: course is rake Everheart. Where does the name six Minds

25:50 Speaker 7: Combined come from?

25:51 Speaker 1: So that was that was a story, you know, so

25:55 Speaker 1: way back in the day when I first started making music.

25:57 Speaker 1: I started when I was eighteen. I listened to Eminem's

25:59 Speaker 1: second album and and lost my mind. I was like this, this,

26:03 Speaker 1: this thirty year old white dude from Detroit can do this.

26:06 Speaker 1: I was like, I'll give it a try. So I

26:07 Speaker 1: tried it, and you know, and now we're here today,

26:11 Speaker 1: but repeat the question real quickly.

26:14 Speaker 7: Well the name where? Where is the name?

26:15 Speaker 5: Okay?

26:16 Speaker 7: Okay?

26:16 Speaker 1: So so I started out, I was like, oh, well,

26:18 Speaker 1: what kind of name can I use? And I was

26:20 Speaker 1: super into ICP at the time, okay, and the whole

26:23 Speaker 1: Psychopathic Records thing. So so, and I really liked the

26:28 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one of the names.

26:30 Speaker 5: It was.

26:31 Speaker 1: So the first name I picked was Psycho Dragon. I

26:34 Speaker 1: really like the the aspect of the dragon, the powerful,

26:38 Speaker 1: you know, uh, like the mythological power behind it.

26:42 Speaker 5: Yeah.

26:42 Speaker 1: And then and now I'm a little psycho, you know.

26:44 Speaker 1: And I was listening to that that, you know, like

26:48 Speaker 1: crazy Killing Spree all sorts of awesome, great great music.

26:54 Speaker 1: But but it's all for fun, yeah, you know, of course.

26:56 Speaker 1: And so that was a way for me to get

27:00 Speaker 1: all my aggressions out without doing things actually aggressive. I

27:05 Speaker 1: can put my thoughts and my feelings and way over

27:09 Speaker 1: exaggerate them and then put them into a song and

27:11 Speaker 1: have fun with it. So I realized in while I

27:18 Speaker 1: was making that music that that's not all I wanted

27:20 Speaker 1: to do. I wanted to make other kinds of music,

27:23 Speaker 1: and I was like, the name Psycho Dragon doesn't really

27:26 Speaker 1: work with all the stuff that I'm doing. So so

27:32 Speaker 1: I've had a couple of nicknames given to me people

27:35 Speaker 1: from people over the years, so I pulled one of

27:37 Speaker 1: those nicknames in and I was like, Oh, this can

27:39 Speaker 1: be this can be like the the younger, happier, funnier

27:44 Speaker 1: version of me. And then and then it just it

27:48 Speaker 1: just went from there, you know, and and eventually it

27:51 Speaker 1: became six different characters that I've created based on certain

27:58 Speaker 1: aspects of my personality and and and what I want

28:04 Speaker 1: to put out there. And the the really fun thing

28:07 Speaker 1: with this is I'm pushing this style and the type

28:11 Speaker 1: of music that I'm making. Now, this is it's not

28:13 Speaker 1: all I make. I'm all over the board. And eventually,

28:20 Speaker 1: you know, those other characters are going to start popping

28:24 Speaker 1: up and the fans will get to see other sides

28:29 Speaker 1: of of the whole six Minds combined. Ah, universe really

28:36 Speaker 1: will put it there. So so I don't wanna I

28:39 Speaker 1: don't want to say like I'm biting off of I C.

28:41 Speaker 1: P And their Six Jokers cards or anything like that,

28:43 Speaker 1: but but that that sparked the idea it's not six

28:48 Speaker 1: minds combined because of the Six Jokers cards, that it's

28:52 Speaker 1: not related. It just I just happened to, uh come

28:57 Speaker 1: up with the six different names and actually went with

29:00 Speaker 1: schizo for a little while, you know, like schizophrenic schitzo.

29:04 Speaker 1: I was like, that's easier than trying to tell everybody

29:06 Speaker 1: all my names.

29:07 Speaker 5: Yeah, and.

29:09 Speaker 1: Uh oh, because my friend that I was working at

29:12 Speaker 1: the time, Lunchbox, He's like, I'm sick of trying to

29:14 Speaker 1: remember all these names, dude, I'm just going to call

29:16 Speaker 1: you schizo. But at the time, there was somebody else

29:19 Speaker 1: that was going by that same name.

29:20 Speaker 7: That's it. That's the exact thought I had when he

29:22 Speaker 7: said that. It's like somebody else is already probably, isn't

29:24 Speaker 7: it anyway, I mean, it's too obviously exactly exactly.

29:28 Speaker 1: So I had actually I wrote a song and I

29:33 Speaker 1: was I was singing through the lyrics, and in the

29:37 Speaker 1: lyrics it said with these six minds combined, and it

29:41 Speaker 1: clicked right there. So I wrote the name before I

29:45 Speaker 1: ever even decided that that was going to be my

29:47 Speaker 1: new name. Interesting, and then and then it all just

29:50 Speaker 1: it all just fell together, you know, like the whole

29:53 Speaker 1: six MC thing, six Minds Combined.

29:56 Speaker 5: But then I'm an MC and oh yeah yeah, so

30:00 Speaker 5: it's so.

30:00 Speaker 1: It's all you know, it's I love multiple meanings, yes,

30:04 Speaker 1: multiple layer meanings of things, and I do that a

30:07 Speaker 1: lot with my lyrics too. Yeah. They they call them

30:10 Speaker 1: like double entendres or whatever. You take in the same

30:13 Speaker 1: word and you're using two different meanings, but you're putting

30:15 Speaker 1: it together, and it sounds it sounds good together, it

30:18 Speaker 1: sounds smooth.

30:19 Speaker 5: Yeah.

30:19 Speaker 7: The great thing about it my name, like six Minds Combined,

30:22 Speaker 7: as as opposed to something like schizo, is you know,

30:25 Speaker 7: the the chances are probably infinitesimally small that you're gonna

30:28 Speaker 7: come across somebody else who says, hey, I've already got

30:30 Speaker 7: that name, six Minds Combined.

30:31 Speaker 5: You know, exactly nobody. Nobody has that name.

30:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I actually I get complimented on it all

30:37 Speaker 1: the time. They're like, wow, that is that's a really

30:39 Speaker 1: interesting name. How'd you come up with it? Yeah, you know,

30:42 Speaker 1: and and it's it's it's so great to say that,

30:45 Speaker 1: like it just came up with itself, you know, Like

30:48 Speaker 1: I didn't choose that name.

30:50 Speaker 5: They chose me, right.

30:51 Speaker 1: You know, So it's it's really like one of those

30:54 Speaker 1: serendipitous things that you know it was it was if

30:57 Speaker 1: you believe in fate or.

30:58 Speaker 5: Whatever, it was meant to be.

30:59 Speaker 1: Yeah, now everything just just kind of happened the way

31:02 Speaker 1: it did, you know. And uh, the same thing with

31:05 Speaker 1: the music, doing something with it.

31:09 Speaker 5: You know.

31:09 Speaker 1: I met Eleanor at the perfect time when I was

31:12 Speaker 1: ready to do this, and and she was like, I

31:16 Speaker 1: need to do this with you, you know, and it's

31:18 Speaker 1: we've we've we've got a great partnership. She often asks me,

31:24 Speaker 1: are you getting your money's worth? Because I pay I

31:26 Speaker 1: pay a subscription to to New Hampshire Underground for the services,

31:32 Speaker 1: and I definitely at this moment I pay in more

31:38 Speaker 1: then I get financially out of it. Like I don't

31:41 Speaker 1: book enough shows to to get paid enough to cover that.

31:45 Speaker 5: But but that's the immediate goal.

31:47 Speaker 7: You're building, right, your building a career.

31:49 Speaker 1: And and you know, once I once I get past

31:54 Speaker 1: that that thing where I'm where I'm getting paid for

31:56 Speaker 1: every show as opposed to doing free shows often because

31:59 Speaker 1: I I to do a lot of free shows, then

32:04 Speaker 1: that'll pay for itself. You know, I spend one hundred

32:06 Speaker 1: and sixty bucks a month for the the VIP membership,

32:11 Speaker 1: and I get I get a weekly meetings. We meet

32:17 Speaker 1: for an hour or two hour, three hours. Sometimes we

32:19 Speaker 1: go over our plans, our goals. We we decide, you know,

32:26 Speaker 1: what's the next step we want to take.

32:28 Speaker 5: And and then.

32:29 Speaker 1: While we're doing all that stuff, she's she's reaching out

32:32 Speaker 1: and she's booking me shows. And like I said, I've

32:35 Speaker 1: done two shows a month, if if not more since

32:38 Speaker 1: I started working with her. And and I've gotten so

32:42 Speaker 1: much exposure. I've met so many, so many other artists

32:45 Speaker 1: good and and uh, it's just it's it's like a

32:49 Speaker 1: steady wave, dude. It keeps growing and growing and that's excellent.

32:53 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm leaps and bounds farther than I expected

32:57 Speaker 1: to be a year into into the career.

33:00 Speaker 5: Good.

33:01 Speaker 1: And if it keeps going the way it's going, I'm

33:04 Speaker 1: gonna be You're gonna be fighting with U with with

33:08 Speaker 1: like uh like Fox News on who's on Who's going

33:13 Speaker 1: to interview six? But but it's like I said, it's

33:19 Speaker 1: all about the community. It's all about you know, bringing

33:22 Speaker 1: the people that we we have in our circle up

33:26 Speaker 1: with us. You know, if if I make it I'm

33:28 Speaker 1: not the only one making it. Yeah, it's it's everybody

34:06 Speaker 1: younger sister. I was twelve years old when she was born,

34:09 Speaker 1: and I was really into music throughout most of my

34:13 Speaker 1: adolescents and everything. So she kind of picked that up

34:16 Speaker 1: from me, and she really really got into like chorus

34:19 Speaker 1: and singing and everything like that. And she I think

34:20 Speaker 1: she's in a professional chorus right now. Oh okay, and

34:23 Speaker 1: she's I forgot how it's like twenty four to twenty

34:25 Speaker 1: five something like that.

35:14 Speaker 1: that went back into the past, to the facts that

35:16 Speaker 1: I've been trying to change electitude.

35:18 Speaker 3: Is this not this?

35:18 Speaker 1: But you won't see me, won't see the danger change yourself,
