Speaker 8: Yes, very good, very good. Well right now, joining us alive in studio and let me get that mic up there. We have Rick Everhard, better known as six Minds Combined. Hello, Hello, Hello, welcome to the program. We're going to play some of your tunes and get to know you a bit. And I have to tell you so. And I didn't mention this off air, but so last night on Friday nights, I'm here too. I do a show called retro Spectrum Radio with Polly c. Polly sees the host. I'm his co host on that program, and he always asks me during the show what do I have coming up the next morning?
Speaker 8: On Matt connorton Unleashed, And he loves the name six Minds Combined. He absolutely loves it. He thinks that's like the coolest name ever. So before we play the first track the single, let me get the obvious question out of the way. Where's the mind where's the name come from? Rather six Minds Combined?
Speaker 10: So actually it's not a long story, but but there's So when I first started making music way back when I was eighteen, I I I came up with a name and I was like, oh, I like this name. It works, but it didn't work for everything that I was making. So so I was like, oh, well, let's let's try this name, and then this name and then this name, and it eventually it became six different names. So I went by I went by Schitzo for a little while.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then uh.
Speaker 10: And then one day I was like, uh, so so there was another artist, underground artist at the time that was going by the same name, and so I was like, you know, I can't really like bite off this guy. I got all my own names, you know, so so why don't I just stick to to those depending on what I'm working on at the time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and uh.
Speaker 10: And then one of my songs that I wrote, I had wrote, uh, something like with these six minds combined, and and I read it off and I was like, wait a minute, that's perfect. So so that's that's basically where that came from.
Speaker 8: Oh, very good, very good. By the way, who I am is in the Facebook live chat and says yes six MC I'm sure. Oh oh MC and two exclamation points.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yes, we were talking off air too. You were on Lacey's show recently? Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. Yeah, she was here and a while ago and brought her keyboard and played live for us at studio. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah. There's a song called Oh let Me Know when It's Time to Rock that was stuck in my head for months after hearing it. Wow, but let's do this. Let's play this track now. This is the single day Dreaming. I have a radio edit of it here. We'll listen to this and then we'll come back and talk about it and get to know more about what you're doing. But if you are just joining us live, we have right here in studio six minds combined, and check it this out. This is called daydreaming.
Speaker 5: Six minds combined. These minds combined.
Speaker 10: Sometimes I get to thinking about all the things I'm missing. I get so many inklings to do the favorites lifting one mind dismissing, time persists, two mind back, mind starts drifting. I find myself in veloped, helpless as to where I'm visiting, dimension shifting, vented and bursts up our sentence left intact on wrecking what we've left untouched. The future is not above us, but right in front of us. Enough of not embracing faid. It's plain to see the change we need to make.
Speaker 11: It's time to shake the tree.
Speaker 5: What could this mean?
Speaker 12: I'm da tree.
Speaker 13: I see the scene, the men to see misleeeding me.
Speaker 12: What could this mean? I'm day dreaming. I see the scene, the men to see.
Speaker 10: Misteeding different directions, FECs. My mind is left invested in this fan to see it's fans. I see you're runny, screaming at me, laughing, crying, funding lights so bright, the sight is like a dream.
Speaker 5: It's me.
Speaker 11: I'm standing.
Speaker 10: It's outstanding, handing me the trophy, holding hands, whip, woopy hugs and speeches, leeches, creeping me out, sneaking past the popper razzi. Whoops, they got me shot outside, accosted at the Boston Market.
Speaker 3: Stars are made this way.
Speaker 10: Let's like the spark Let's fight the darkness, harkness holding up the gate.
Speaker 11: It's time to fade away.
Speaker 12: What could this mean? I'm day dreaming.
Speaker 13: I see the scene, amen to see misleeeding me.
Speaker 12: What could this mean? I'm day dreaming.
Speaker 13: I see the scene nom men to see misleeding me, misteed me.
Speaker 10: The stakes are racing, lifting faces, journey to change places, aces saved in case adjacent to the jack of space.
Speaker 11: I wasted and place it face down.
Speaker 10: Passive takedown patients gaining me the high ground, chasing faithless vagrants aimlessly down past.
Speaker 11: They want to try it now. I don't want to die now, but want to fly.
Speaker 10: This guy's the limit, getting like to find out what's next to my brow to try and get it. I'll win the contest of constant progress on top of the charge with my songs about this, the roll up doubtless, No mouth, don't shout with us when we bumped down, shouting I'm out.
Speaker 5: Shame, come out shame. What good this mean?
Speaker 12: I'm day dreaming.
Speaker 13: I see the scene nomen to see misteeding?
Speaker 12: What good this me? Im day dreaming?
Speaker 13: I see the scene nomen see misleeeding?
Speaker 4: Mis me?
Speaker 3: Could this mean?
Speaker 12: Is it just the day dream?
Speaker 5: What could this mean?
Speaker 11: What could this mean?
Speaker 8: I like that that is daydreaming, and that is six minds combined. And we have six minds combined here with us live in studio. Yeah, great track. I love that. Is that you singing as well?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 8: Oh so you do? You do all the vocals?
Speaker 6: All the vocals, is me?
Speaker 8: Oh excellent? Now what about the instrumentation do you play as well or so?
Speaker 10: Actually, all the all the music off of this album was all made by Chris carwellos okay, good friend of mine. He's uh he's doing a drum and based thing as Skinny Jeans.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, yeah, from the area or area. Oh okay, okay, very good.
Speaker 6: He actually lives in Conquered I think.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, And how did you connect with Chris to work on this project?
Speaker 14: So?
Speaker 10: Actually I've been I worked with Chris for for like eight years, just making music, hanging out, having fun, you know, making stuff for us.
Speaker 6: You know, just just just to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 10: And actually I got I got mixed up with him because I got into some trouble and I had to do some community service, so I went, Uh, my friend Gillian Anderson introduced me to Tom Lopez, who was at the time the vice president of Positive Street Art. Okay, and I had to do some community service. So I did all my community service through Positive street Art, which was it was great.
Speaker 6: It was a wow.
Speaker 10: So if anybody has has community, so they need to work out definitely, you know, uh look us up and and uh and and get involved. But it's positive, straight out changed my life. I met a whole bunch of people through them. I obviously, you know, I got I got my act together, and uh, it's it's just been great. Great, it's a great organization and uh. But anyway, so so through that, doing the different events that we do, I ended up meeting uh Chris at we we had a dance program going on for a while, so he would come to that every every week or every other week, whatever it was.
Speaker 10: And I met him there and we we hit it off right away.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and uh and uh.
Speaker 10: He he mentioned that he was you know, he was a producer, he made music in the past, and I was like, oh, we should work on something together. So he he gave me everything that he had in his archive and he's like, he's like, you know what, I really like you. I trust you. Here, take all this and see what you can do with it. And so I wrote to a couple of the tracks that he gave me and he's like he's like, wow, you know.
Speaker 6: This is this is this is cool. Let's let's keep working together.
Speaker 10: So he started coming over like once a month, with once every couple of weeks, and he would pump out like five minute beats and then we would sit there for hours and we would just write to it back and forth. And we must have made well over one hundred songs together. And so I'd say somewhere abouts.
Speaker 6: A year ago.
Speaker 10: We had we had made that song Daydreaming. He used the this this instrument called the machine, and he like recorded a couple of vocal samples and just turned it into this sick beat. And I was like, oh, this is really cool. And and I was like it feels kind of like daydreaming, and he's like yeah. And so it just it just went from there, you know. And and and I think it was like two or three days and we had the song done yep. And so shortly after that he had, you know, he had things going on in his life.
Speaker 10: I had things going on in my life. And he's like, he's like, you know what I'm We sat down and we talked and he's like he's like, I'm going to take a different direction with my music right now. You know, I'm going to do this this drum and bassed thing. And and he's like, but I wanted to let you know that anything that we've worked on up until this point is yours. Do whatever you want with it. Rewrite the lyrics, use the lyrics, whatever you want to do. And I was like, you know what, I should do something with this.
Speaker 10: So so I put it out in the universe. You know that I wanted to start, you know, chasing the dream, right. So so somehow the universe answered and they introduced me to Eleanor Luna from Midnight Creatives Collective and she she's they are are became my manager, you know, Like I mentioned my ideas and she's like, we can do this for you. So so it's just been it's been a ride since then. But we I picked uh seven of the songs that I had been working on, and I went to uh toy Bok Studios with mister good Bars.
Speaker 8: Yes, ye, yeah, he was on the show a couple of months ago. I think I think it was a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a great. Dude's phenomenal. He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 8: Absolutely and he works with so many different genres too.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yep, yeah, so many different genres, and he's good with with all of it. He's just got a huge talent for music and and putting it all together. He also does cinematography, so he I.
Speaker 8: Didn't even know that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he he made the Daydreaming official music video that's on YouTube.
Speaker 6: Oh okay yep. So, so we had a party.
Speaker 10: He came over, I had a few people over and and we created the ambiance and and he did all the recording and and then put it all together afterwards. But anyway, so, so I had the beats, I had the I had the lyrics. I have a home studio. It's not that great, but but I don't know all the technical things, you know, the tweaks in this that. So I was like, I want to get this professionally recorded. And Eleanor introduced me to mister Goodbars. I went over and he's like this, this stuff is great. He's like, let's do this.
Speaker 10: So we we laid down all the lyrics onto the tracks, and then he did. He worked his wizardry magic and made it sound ten times better than I could have ever hoped. And uh and and it became the album. Eleanor Uh then she she you know, put the booklet together. I had my friend Hegan Fitzgerald art by KF that did the the artwork for the album.
Speaker 8: We should mention and and I'll hold it up too for I mean, they won't be able to see it super well, but for people watching online, yeah, you brought in you brought in a few copies of the CD, and I just want to say too, it's impressive. So, you know, it's a conversation that comes up a lot on the show with guests. You know, whether you know physical media, you know, are you gonna are you gonna put something out on physical media or not? And and a lot of our guests really are putting out CDs. But you you kind of went all out with this too, because you know, you've got the book and you know you've got all the lyrics and everything.
Speaker 8: You know, you full liner notes all of that, which is really cool. And I love the artwork. So but yeah, for people watching online you can kind of see it's it's impressive, but yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Cool.
Speaker 10: So actually about the CD, I don't know, it was like fifteen six and sixteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 6: We went through Super Dupes yep, and got them all printed up.
Speaker 10: They're right in Salem, right, Yes, yes, I I am if I meet anybody in person. And actually I figured, since we're on the radio here, if anybody wants to reach out to me, I will give them the free a free CD. Okay, So I don't want to I'm not trying to make money off the CDs. I feel like, I feel like like music itself should be as free as it could possibly be. The things that I feel like artists should get paid for is shows, merchandise and things like that. But the music, I just want to get it out there.
Speaker 10: I got a message. I want people to hear it. That's again why I put the lyrics in there too, because I want people to know what I'm saying and understand the message that I'm trying to portray, you know, like a it's like uplifting, like let's let's make some stuff happen together, you know, you know, forget all this negativity and and all the bad stuff that's happening in the world, Like let's let's let's ignore that and and let's move forward in a progressive way.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 10: At the end of one of my songs and one of my lyrics, I say, we can be we without being forced and and that's I really feel strongly about that.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 10: I feel like like there's there's too many organizations and people that are they're just doing it for themselves, you know, and they're trying to be the better of whatever they're they're into. They're trying to be the best. I'm looking at it differently. I don't think. I don't think that I can be my best without somebody helping me become my best. Right, I wouldn't have been able to get as far as I've gotten with the music in these past few months if it wasn't for Eleanor at Midnight Creatives Collective.
Speaker 10: Yeah, she's she's really taken taken the bowl by the horns.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, what what she's doing there is phenomenal.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, it's it is great.
Speaker 10: And if if there are any aspiring artists, musicians, painting artists, pencil artists, crafts, like whatever you do, check it out Midnight Creatives Collective.
Speaker 6: She they will they will help everybody.
Speaker 10: So the idea is to basically have like a business bar where people can come together and they can collaboratively work on whatever art projects they have going on. And at the same time, she also does like this this management. Yeah, and she's been picking up quite a few clients lately, so get on the list.
Speaker 6: As soon as I.
Speaker 8: Was gonna say, I think she's just signed a couple more. Oh yeah, mistaken. Yeah, yeah, no, she's doing great stuff there. And so I'm associated now too, tangentially, but I'm doing I don't know if you know this about me. I'm also a certified hypnotherapist. Oh really, and I'm now available Mondays and Tuesdays if someone wants to book a session with me in Nashua at the Business Bar.
Speaker 6: Oh cool, they can do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Oh so you're involved with her too.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh yeah, I've known Eleanor for probably twenty years.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yep, yep.
Speaker 9: Absolutely highlighted my artwork in the month of August. They took twelve of my darkest paintings and put them up.
Speaker 6: Oh cool, yep, yep.
Speaker 8: Yeah, she's pretty awesome. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: The whole organization, like the idea that they have for it and everything that they're doing. They actually they just open up another room in the building that they're at where they want. It's gonna be like a community jam space. Okay, So anybody you know bring your guitar down, bring your keyboard down, bring your bring your amp and your microphone and let's all hang out in that room together and just jam out. You know, makes them make them have some fun.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh that's fantastic. Well we should play another track. I'll let you pick what. Uh what should we play next?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 10: Uh, my my favorite song off the album is Running through a Mansion?
Speaker 8: Okay, you know what's cool? I was. I'm glad you said that because, uh, that's actually my favorite too.
Speaker 6: Oh cool?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I love this one. So we'll give this a spin. Yeah, if you didn't pick this, I was gonna close the segment with it when we get to the top of the hour, but I'm gonna gohead and play it now. Cool and yeah, this is my personal favorite. You know, and your your tracks, I mean they're they're unique. You know, it's it's this song especially, it's it's like nothing I've ever heard before.
Speaker 6: Cool you?
Speaker 8: How do you everyone always sy it's a score about how do you define your music for someone who's not heard it? Do do you call it alternative hip hop? Because that's the first thing that came behind when I was listening. It's like all hip hop.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I think that's probably what I would classify it as, I tell hip people hip hop because it's got rapping. Yeah, rap is significantly, you know, a big part of the hip hop scene. So so that's what I start with. But I'm like, but it's not just hip hop, right, Like, you really got to check it out and listen to it because every song is different. Every song's got its own cadence and feel to it, and if you don't like one song, you might like the other six, So it's worth checking out.
Speaker 8: All right, Yeah, very good. Well check this out. This is called running through a mansion and this is six minds combined.
Speaker 15: Well you know, well you know, will you know that you got this? Hm said, well you know?
Speaker 5: Will you know? Will you know that you got this?
Speaker 4: Hm?
Speaker 11: Running through a mansion? Answer in a standing question, left.
Speaker 10: Alone, through room, through both LEAs I know you left me question destiny is best to ring Obsessing all my lessons learned, I think I've earned some rest against It's time to burn the desperate yearning for Lot's de coope with later greater understanding. Handling matters as a man in standing up for what we know is right and making not demands and never given into ghosts, just hoping for where change.
Speaker 11: It never comes as long as you don't run.
Speaker 10: It's fundamentally us Central Central Intel spelled it out.
Speaker 5: It sounds a bit like Southold wellness. You've already won.
Speaker 11: It's all about the combined. Some time is an illusion.
Speaker 10: You can do it because you've done it someday, some say, prove it to yourself and that's enough to use the runway be taking off of often skies and bids to try to find us, flying freely, feeling fund and finding flight past that, to find us climbing higher than we dared you scared to fall back to the ground, resounding off the atmosphere.
Speaker 16: It's clear clear will never come back down. Oh no,
Speaker 16: we're all oudy painting on this can less our spots leave, We'll burning like the stars. We've got scars, We've earned them working.
Speaker 5: So well, you know, will you know? Will you know that you got this?
Speaker 12: H sit well, you know?
Speaker 5: Well you know?
Speaker 10: Will you know that you got this? I feel a little bitter about this. Read a lot a lot of lyrics. Need a bit to sit and settle myself done before I hear it. Fear is nothing to do with the science system. Listen serious, gear up, dust off script the rust off. You can drive a numbkin ver six off this path that at last, I I've found so many floors and the doors are torn down? How many more before I'm forced to lay down and take a break, before I break and fade out? Listening this, It's got me thinking about what's missing.
Speaker 10: It's insensitive, obsessing over every single mistake, taking time and making rhymes to take my minds up all this sickness. Witness in between the lines of something written you got.
Speaker 11: This, you got this? M? Well you know?
Speaker 5: Will you know? Will you know that you got this?
Speaker 17: Said?
Speaker 12: Well you know?
Speaker 5: Will you know? Will you know that you got this? M?
Speaker 10: You can through these windows, watching people following wind blows, holding on the hope that no wind folds beneath the way of carrying their burdens, hurting inside and end out, trying trying to be something someday, some way, somehow, someone that they can be proud of, shure the world what they climbed out of, holding onto who they were while turning into something more. Be putting keys in their own doors, ensuring needs to just be sure so they won't need to need no more.
Speaker 5: Indeed, we plead to leave this core, imploring we don't need to work.
Speaker 10: We can be without being forced, without being forced, without being forced, big, without being forced, big, without being word helvic.
Speaker 6: Yeah that was awesome.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that is my favorite. That is running through a mansion. That is six minds combined. Who is here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning. Uh, there's a line in there too, watching Uh was it watching people? Watching people falling over when the wind blows? It just Uh, you couldn't have predicted when you wrote that song. But when I when I hear that, I immediately think of I just have visions of all these videos that I've seen, uh in Florida, Yeah, the hurricanes, like literally people being knocked over by the wind.
Speaker 8: But yeah, such a great track. And uh, I love your your singing voice too. You you remind me of somebody, but I can't quite place when you're singing. Has anyone ever told you that you were anyone?
Speaker 10: For every single person that says I sound like somebody says I sound like somebody different?
Speaker 8: Oh no kidding. Oh that's interesting, that's interesting, is it? I assume it's not. But is it difficult to shift gears live between singing and rapping. It's probably pretty natural out imagine it is.
Speaker 10: Especially I've I've practiced practiced these songs hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times. So it's so it's like, uh, and I listened to them every single day, you know, my my music is my favorite music.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So so when when I first write the songs, they they don't sound the way they do at the end, like I have to find. I have to find, like I write first, and then I'll find the cadence and I'll i'll create the melodies and things like that. So so a lot of those words I wrote them as words first, and then I would listen to and go, oh, well this would sound good with some sort of melody here, okay, And and then and then I would adapt the words to to work.
Speaker 8: For that now okay. Yeah, that song in particular has a lot of words in it.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's got the most words and on the album.
Speaker 8: Is that is that challenging for you or I?
Speaker 10: I have a horrible memory, so it's really really hard to remember all my lyrics. And I've I've made like I've like I said before, I've made hundreds of songs. Yeah, past I don't remember any of them.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 10: Actually, one thing I do remember, though I can't I can't say it because there's there's bad words in it. But the very first, the very first four bars I ever wrote. It's stuck in my head forever. That'll never go away. But yeah, so especially that song, it is hard to remember the lyrics, but it's I almost use like a visual and and like the the fact that it that the things rhyme that that helps a lot. And and like if I if I say the first line, it triggers the second line in my mind. Yeah, the second line triggers the third, and then the fourth.
Speaker 10: So so if if I jump in the middle of a song and try to start it, I'm so lost. I have to start from the beginning.
Speaker 8: That makes sense. That makes sense. That's something too. You know, there are people who who don't like hip hop, and I always tell them one thing that I just feel nobody ever brings us up either. Something that I feel that people who rap don't get enough credit for is the memory skills.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because you know, your typical rock song, it's pretty easy to remember you know, you listen to it a few times, you know, verse course verst course. You know, you get the lyrics, but your average hip hop song has a lot more lyrics ye packed into it than your average rock song. So there's you've really got to have good memory skills or you know, or find some something that works for you mentally, like the way that you described where you can recall all of that and even and also two with a rock song, if you do mess up a lyric, it's pretty easy to recover from it.
Speaker 8: But I would imagine a song like running through a mansion if you mess something up as you're performing it live. You know, I mean in your mind that there must be like a little bit of a hiccup there, like uh oh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yep.
Speaker 8: Does that ever happen?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it happens all the time.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And that's another thing like I want to put out there is like everybody makes mistakes, you know, and and especially in live shows, there's a lot of pressure that that you're under being in front of even if you're in front of ten people, if you're in front of one hundred people, there's there's pressure to do a good job. And that on top of all the other little things. It's you know, anything can make you skip up, mess up. I was at I host an open mic for through Positive Street Art once a month. The next one's October eighteenth.
Speaker 10: At the last one I was at was also my record release party, and I was I was performing the song Champion, and I forgot the first world. Oh so I had to restart the song two times and and and I like I I was perfectly fine. I was calm like I was. I wasn't nervous at all. And then I forgot that first word. And then then like my anxiety shot to the roof and I started I started all like panicking right there. I'm like, oh God, what do I do? I can't remember, I can't remember. So I just I like centered myself and I just press play and and the lyrics all showed up.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, was well, so the we haven't mentioned it yet. The name of the album is Issue zero.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was. I was curious about that. The title.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so, so I'm I'm into like comic books and series and things like that. So I like to I like to integrate all my passions and and my hobbies into everything I do. So so with the with the name of the album. I was like, I wanted to be the first of something so like in like issue or or something like that. But but it's it's kind of like the before album. Okay, you know, I'm just coming out. Everybody's getting getting to know me. So it's not the first one. Yeah, it comes before.
Speaker 6: That, so it's zero. So it's it's Issue zero. And and that's that's basically why.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes sense. Well, we should play another track. What do you want to? Uh, where where should we go?
Speaker 6: NeXT's go with Champion.
Speaker 8: We'll go with Champion.
Speaker 10: And that was that was not one of the ones I needed a radio edit, and that one's that one's a it's a little more melodic than the other stuff.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 10: And then my song in Your Hands, I feel like that's the closest to like a rock song that I have. Oh really, yuh yeah, So maybe we'll play that at some point too.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, cool. All right, let's give this has been If you are just joining us, we have six minds combined here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning, and this track is called Champion.
Speaker 11: Who can we rely on? Send me that chap young Who do we run to.

Speaker 11: What if we're running the wrong way?
Speaker 3: And how do we know with?
Speaker 11: What if we do ourselves today?
Speaker 3: And how we show me the right path and give me from all this dark ness?
Speaker 11: Or shop in my knife hands.
Speaker 3: And we me out on my.
Speaker 10: Who do we become when there's no one to take the far the one to make the sacrifice, the one to make that final call. Who do we become when someone threatens those belove above and below? We go to the deepest depths to hold that crutch, hold that crutch.
Speaker 19: I judge my fair share of square squaring lough in lost, has somewhere off.
Speaker 11: In thought, shared eye off God, off God. After our murder to.
Speaker 20: Sign and a normally normally a normal guy, but I'm not just me, might want to see what I might decide I gotta not just be, gotta be the best of my mind's just tied.
Speaker 10: I normally intend to intensified the descent to pretended, decided this that's decided to repent, invent a sentiment for desensitized descent, commending every simple step a symbol set.
Speaker 5: Who do we turn to when we burnt through?
Speaker 10: Walmar heroes here go stewing rose to becomposed to beat this. Those no ta pose also just throwing in pits of bones, no fits in. Those that lived there sold this pigs to stuff and their bellies with these demon fxs.
Speaker 6: Hmmm, nice short song.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that is a short one.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: That is called Champion. That is six minds combined here with us live in studio on the Saturday morning. By the way, you are getting a lot of chat room love. We should uh mention some of these folks, uh I Jones? Is that he said a y E Jones A Jones A Jones Uh says a lot of very positive things including I'm so proud of you dude, ye which is uh, which is very nice.
Speaker 6: A good friend of mine.
Speaker 8: Oh, excellent, excellent Eddie Uh seven two three oh says love you six mc uh. Let's see who else who I am we mentioned is in there earlier being very supportive. We appreciate that, uh. Andre Dumont of course. In the Facebook live chat this morning, Andre says this show has amazing local variety. Does New Hampshire even realize the local talents? Yeah, there's a lot of talent here.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 8: Sometimes somebody will ask me, you know, how does you know Jenny does all the booking? And somebody will ask me, how does Jenny find all these artists? And it's like, well, there's so much great talent out there, so many, you know, and not just here but all over the all over the world. Really, we live in a time where it's easier than ever to create music and then share it with the world, you know, with the globe.
Speaker 9: And a lot of times it's when an artist says can I all.
Speaker 8: They do is ask.
Speaker 6: That's it. Well, that's that's the huge thing, is uh, any opportunity.
Speaker 10: There are tons of opportunities out there, and you just gotta you gotta see them, you know, if you if you see something, yeah, see something, say something, you know, like the like the radio shows, I would have I would have I would have never done this myself. But knowing knowing the people that I do it gives me the confidence, you know. So but yeah, you know, get out there. If you if you're if you're making music for yourself and you think it's good, you know, show show it to some people, see if they think it's good.
Speaker 6: And if they think it's good, then show it to more people.
Speaker 10: You know, get get on the radio, talk to you know, reach out, get a hold of Eleanor at the MCC and she can make it happen for you.
Speaker 8: Absolutely. Absolutely. By the way, can you tell us a little bit more about positive street art because it sounds like so it sounds it sounds like you had to do that because of community service. But it worked out great. Obviously, it helped you turn things around. And you're you're still working with the organization.
Speaker 6: Yes, so I'm I'm on the board.
Speaker 8: Excellent.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So, so I I had to do my community service and I had one hundred hours I had to do. So I worked with Paul Sheha at Great American Downtown on Sundays doing the farmers market, and then I worked with Tom Lopez painting murals. You know who who who doesn't want to paint murals for community service? So I had such a great time doing it that I continued to volunteer with them afterward, and I just really wanted to like it. It was very fulfilling, you know. So I was like, I want to be a part of this, and then you know, one thing led to another and they finally asked me, They're like, well, you're you're such a huge part, you know, you're always helping us out.
Speaker 10: Why don't you join our board? And I was like, I'll do it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I was like, I don't know what I'm doing, but i'll do it. You know, I'll take the opportunity. I'll make it out. But through positive street art, many many Ramirez is that our lead painter. I don't know what title he goes by now, but he does most of the murals or organizes them. But he he was leaving an apartment way back shortly after I got involved with them, and I was looking for a place and he's like, oh my, there's an apartment in my building that's opening up. Why don't you check into that?
Speaker 10: So I checked it out. I was like, this is perfect. Ended up living there for six But after I got the place, the landlord showed up three weeks later and he goes He goes, hey, man, I heard you're a carpenter. You want a job? And I was like, yeah, I'll take a job. So I've actually been at that company for eight years now. It's the best company I've ever worked for in my life.
Speaker 8: Excellent.
Speaker 10: That's a Turncycle Solutions out of Nashville, it's a general contracting and weatherization company.
Speaker 6: But anyway, so.
Speaker 10: Positive street art, you know, years go by, I'm involved with all their different programming everything. I try to be as involved as I possibly can. A little over a year ago, I came up with the idea. I was like, you know what, I want to start doing something with my music. Why don't I try to do that through Positive street Art. So I talked to them and I brought up the idea of starting an open mic, and and they're like, yeah, that's a great idea, so let's do it. So almost every almost once a month, I've been I've been putting on the the open mic.
Speaker 10: It's called Vicus Fox, which is Latin for Voice of the City or voice of the street, and it's.
Speaker 6: It hasn't really taken off yet.
Speaker 10: I've been doing it for over a year, but hopefully now that you know, I'm getting out there personally and I'm trying to get as noticed as possible, other people will be. They'll they'll want to come just to see me, and maybe I could get some of them on the mic, you know, because that's what I'm all about.
Speaker 6: I want to I want to bring everybody up. I want to get everybody together.
Speaker 10: I want, I want, I want to collaborate with people, you know, anybody, you know, if you know, uh yeah. So so that's that's a that's a huge thing that I that I want to mention is I'm all about collaboration. You know, I'll work with anybody, and I want to work with people.
Speaker 6: I want.
Speaker 10: I want to you know, share my talent with other people and motivate other people that do the same thing that I'm doing right now.
Speaker 8: So what I what I love about the whole you know, your your whole story, the trajectory of We talk a lot on the show about taking negative things, taking negative experiences, and creating something positive out of them, right, creating art. You know, people take trauma and then they make music with it, you know, but your your story is an example of that, but even on a on a higher level, because you got into some trouble, so you had to do community service, but you did that with positive street art and then all the great things that came from getting involved in that.
Speaker 8: So it's it's like, you know, it's like, you know, taking something negative and creating art with it, but on steroids, it's you know what I mean, It's like, that's that's such a great story.
Speaker 10: And once you start that trajectory, it just keeps going. You know, if you have the positive mindset and you put that out in the universe, it's going to keep flooding you with positive things. Yes, you know, I've over the past eight years, my life is completely turned around.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 10: I'm I'm I own the nicest car I've ever owned, the best job I've ever had, and I'm doing something with my music finally, and I'm I'm meeting up with a mortgage guy to try and buy a house. None of this stuff was was even a thought in my mind eight years ago. And then I got involved with positive street art and and everything changed from you know, all that, all that positivity that I was involved with just surrounded my life, and I just, you know, I kept taking every opportunity that came, and here I am today on Matt connorton Radio, and no, We're.
Speaker 8: Glad you're here, and yeah, and and and so much of it too. I think it is, you know, surrounding yourself with positive people. Because sometimes I think Jenny and I've had conversations about this with someone we know, h off Air about you know, the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are going to lift you up and be good for you and be positive for you, and staying away from people who are only going to bring you trouble, right, you know, that's that that's such a huge part of it.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 8: By the way, So when you play live, do you do you ever perform with a band or is it just you with backing tracks or how does that work?
Speaker 10: So it's right now, it's me with backing tracks. But I would I would like to get together with a band and and some other solo artists that play instruments.
Speaker 11: I want to do.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 10: I want to do an acoustic version of the album as well. Yeah, change up the lyrics a little bit, yeah, the melodies and things like that, and you know, create a whole nother project with the same project. Yeah, you know, and and and again, uh, work with other people so that you know, we can bring this whole collective of people up. I uh, I'm I'm working on some some music videos and uh, and like like promo videos and things like that. Yeah, right, to try and you know, on social media to try and get people interested and listening.
Speaker 10: So ideas for that, you know, They're like, there's there's so much you can do, and I only have so many ideas. So if anybody wants to throw some ideas at me and and and maybe work with me or or whatever, you know, I'm down for it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I wanted to mention I don't know how much time we have left, but uh, I have a I do have a show coming up. Oh yeah, yeah, in November, November twenty fourth. It's going to be at the Jewel. We'll be there right across Selfie. Yeah, Spelfie, we're involved. Yep, yep. Yeah, that's awesome. So I don't know how the lineup is going to go or anything like that, but but show up at the beginning, stay till the end, and you'll get to see me perform.
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, looking forward to that. Yeah, Spelfiefest is going to be great if you go to actually, if you go to Midnight Creatives Collective dot com Midnight Creatives Collective. Want to make sure I say it right. Sometimes I mess it up. But if you go there, yeah, you can actually get tickets right through the website.
Speaker 6: Yep.

I'll kind of read the room and see what people want, but I'm going to do some kind of a hypnosystem and straight oh cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that'd be nice to see.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that'll be That'll be a lot of fun. So yeah, So Spelfy Fest coming up, Yeah, November twenty fourth at Jewel Yeah, it is right, I forget that.
Speaker 10: It's right across the street, and that's it's also a benefit for rare pain disorders. Yes, they want to make sure that I mentioned that.
Speaker 9: Ye really, the RSA organization that reflects sympathetic dystrophy.
Speaker 8: I do have CRPS.
Speaker 9: Okay, yep, So I'll be saying a few words on behalf of the organization. But they're super excited about this happening because it's it's it's rare to have fundraisers for rare diseases. We don't get a heck of a lot of attention, so this is super important.
Speaker 8: Yep. Yeah, we're uh yeah, we're very excited about it. It's going to be amazing. And also, are you already working on the next album?
Speaker 6: Or so right now, I'm I'm focusing more on trying to get the live shows going.
Speaker 8: Yeah. And and because you strike me as someone who's probably always.
Speaker 6: Writing yeah always yeah, so so I am you know.
Speaker 10: I actually uh, one when I was in the studio getting all the stuff together, good Bars hooked me up with with a beat that is going to be on the next album. Cool yeah and uh and I have a couple other tracks that I've worked on in the past that I that I think are going to be good for the next album.
Speaker 6: So I would say yes a little bit.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So so hopefully within the next year I'll have that out. But again, I want to I want to work with people I want, you know. So if if somebody's got a beat and and they want they want they have, you know, a space that's open on it, and they want you know, some talented lyrics on there, then you know, hit me up. I'll jump on the beat, we'll we'll turn it into a video and yeah, we'll get it out there as soon as possible.
