Speaker 10: I really appreciate you having.
Speaker 6: Me absolutely absolutely so in a in a couple of minutes,
Speaker 6: So we're gonna play You've Got Is this the first
Speaker 6: single for this project? No Siva? Yes, the very first
Speaker 6: thing you've you've done now you've I assume you've made
Speaker 6: other music though, prior to this, with other projects, Is
Speaker 6: that correct?
Speaker 10: Or Yeah?
Speaker 12: I've been a musicians most of my life since I
Speaker 12: was about fifteen years old, so okay, pretty much half
Speaker 12: my life.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, so you've been added a while. Very good. Now,
Speaker 6: why uh why this project is this? Is this all you?
Speaker 13: Is this?
Speaker 6: Do you have any other collaborators on this?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 6: Like this track that we're about to play or did
Speaker 6: you create this all yourself?
Speaker 14: So?
Speaker 12: I met a guy a couple of years ago through
Speaker 12: social media, and his name is Jonah Hernandez. He's in Texas.
Speaker 12: He's in a band. It's a little bit different than
Speaker 12: something I would normally listen to, but I liked a
Speaker 12: lot of the stuff that he did when he was younger.
Speaker 12: He did a couple of industrial bands with some people
Speaker 12: that I was friends with. Yeah, and I really liked
Speaker 12: what he was doing. So I reached out to him
Speaker 12: and we kind of go wrote a track together, and
Speaker 12: then I just told him exactly what I wanted to
Speaker 12: do and how I wanted to do it, and we
Speaker 12: just wrote it together.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's cool too that you connected with somebody in Texas.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you know this, but we have
Speaker 6: a you know, we interview a lot of artists from
Speaker 6: the area, but we also talked to musicians from other
Speaker 6: parts of the country and even other even other continents.
Speaker 6: But we talked to a lot of musicians from Texas.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of great music coming out of there,
Speaker 6: and uh so many talented people. And it's it's cool
Speaker 6: too that we live in a time where, uh, it's
Speaker 6: it's easier than ever to collaborate with people from other areas,
Speaker 6: and that you can connect with somebody from from Texas
Speaker 6: and and do something together. You know, I'm old enough
Speaker 6: to remember when that didn't happen a whole lot, you know,
Speaker 6: we when we didn't have easy things like Dropbox and
Speaker 6: Googled I've, for example, to send files back and forth
Speaker 6: and all that. So so that's really cool.
Speaker 10: So so it's you and he what's his name again,
Speaker 10: Jonah Hernandez.
Speaker 6: Jonah Hernandez. And what would we know him from?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 6: You mentioned he's in a he's in a band that's
Speaker 6: pretty big er.
Speaker 12: Uh, yeah, he's he's in a band. He's in a
Speaker 12: couple of different bands. Oh, Okay, I couldn't tell you
Speaker 12: the top of my head.
Speaker 6: It's okay if you don't know offhand, but uh no,
Speaker 6: something to keep in mind for future guests, because, like
Speaker 6: I said, we love talking to the musicians from Texas.
Speaker 6: But so you and he, now, are you working on
Speaker 6: other music with Jonah or are you just kind of
Speaker 6: focused on this one song for a nowur.
Speaker 12: So, when I originally reached out to him and told
Speaker 12: him what I wanted to do, I had an entire
Speaker 12: album concept, all the songs that I wanted to do
Speaker 12: and how I wanted it to sound. Yeah, so he
Speaker 12: kind of pointed me in the right direction and helped
Speaker 12: me ghost write this first one. Cool, and then I've
Speaker 12: just kind of been doing it more on my own.
Speaker 12: And then when I decide, okay, I'm good with this,
Speaker 12: I'm going to send this to him and have him
Speaker 12: do his portion. Yeah yeah, and then he'll just bounce
Speaker 12: it back to me through an email or a message
Speaker 12: and I will do my portion and just back and
Speaker 12: forth working on it until it's done, mix and master it,
Speaker 12: and when I feel it's ready, I'll release it.
Speaker 6: When you collaborate with somebody in this way, are you
Speaker 6: like were there any surprises, And over the course of
Speaker 6: collaborating with Jonah, did any of this come out differently
Speaker 6: than what you had first envisioned or any Oh?
Speaker 12: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, way way more on the positive note
Speaker 12: than I was expecting. Oh good, mainly because you know,
Speaker 12: most musicians are their own worst critics. I definitely amy,
Speaker 12: But the idea that I had was loosely, you know,
Speaker 12: what I wanted, and I sent it to him, and
Speaker 12: over the course of I think a month or so,
Speaker 12: we worked on this together and then one day he
Speaker 12: sent me basically like a rough draft and He's like,
Speaker 12: what do you think of this? And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 12: that's what I want.
Speaker 6: Oh cool.
Speaker 12: So we did that, and then when it came time
Speaker 12: for me to track the vocals, I was really nervous.
Speaker 12: I was trying to do something that I had always
Speaker 12: wanted to do, but I had never thought that I
Speaker 12: had the capability to do, mainly because people told me
Speaker 12: I couldn't. But all of those vocals are completely unedited,
Speaker 12: just me in my room. And then I sent everything
Speaker 12: to him and he just makes some masters everything.
Speaker 6: Oh very cool, very cool. And the track is called
Speaker 6: The Eternal Serpent's Scream correct and Uh, what can you
Speaker 6: tell us about it in terms of what, like, what
Speaker 6: is this about? Is it?
Speaker 12: Is it just kind of a dark So basically what
Speaker 12: this is about is there is a lot of Carl
Speaker 12: Jung h esotericism. Life is all about duality, life, death,
Speaker 12: up down, you know all of that. And I came
Speaker 12: from a very dark past where a lot of abuse
Speaker 12: and anger kind of was the thing. That stuff will
Speaker 12: haunt people. You can either let that destroy you or
Speaker 12: you can use that anger in a positive form. Yeah,
Speaker 12: So that is exactly what Carl Jung teaches, is that
Speaker 12: in order to get to heaven, you have to go
Speaker 12: through hell first, and that that is a part of
Speaker 12: the lyrics.
Speaker 10: No tree, it is second grow to heaven unless it's
Speaker 10: root treats down the hell.
Speaker 12: So it is entirely all about I went through all
Speaker 12: of this, I'm still alive. I'm going to use this
Speaker 12: to my advantage to better myself and become stronger than
Speaker 12: ever before.
Speaker 6: I love this too for a couple of reasons on
Speaker 6: a couple levels. One is, you know, I just love
Speaker 6: the whole concept and and it's cool that well on
Speaker 6: a few different levels actually, because not only do I
Speaker 6: love the concept, but It's always interesting when you can
Speaker 6: create something that sounds, you know, if you're just listening
Speaker 6: to the track without knowing the context, it sounds you
Speaker 6: know obviously, and people will hear it in a moment,
Speaker 6: will give it a spin, but you know, it sounds
Speaker 6: very dark and absolutely and so you might not, you know,
Speaker 6: out of context, you might not realize that it's actually
Speaker 6: a very positive message underneath that, but just expressed and well, again,
Speaker 6: people will hear it, but expressed in a certain way.
Speaker 6: But the other thing, too, is a subject that comes
Speaker 6: up a lot on the show that has over the
Speaker 6: past few years, especially coming out of the pandemic too,
Speaker 6: is you know, anytime you take something traumatic and anything negative,
Speaker 6: negative experiences. You know, a lot of people had challenging
Speaker 6: childhoods et cetera, or just anything traumatic that's happened to you,
Speaker 6: whether it be a specific incident or over time or
Speaker 6: the pandemic which affected a lot of people in terrible ways,
Speaker 6: when you can take something negative and create something out
Speaker 6: of it and use that to make art, whether it
Speaker 6: be music or visual art or you know, like Jenny
Speaker 6: she's a painter, you know, or any anything anything that
Speaker 6: brings joy and comfort to other people that you're able
Speaker 6: to create out of something negative that happened to you.
Speaker 6: That's I mean, what better therapy is than that, you know,
Speaker 6: than being able to create art from something that has
Speaker 6: bothered you.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, and a lot of the imagery, obviously, the title being,
Speaker 12: you know, Eternal surfent Scream, the logo that I've been
Speaker 12: currently using, or boris, which is just you know, the
Speaker 12: serpent that eats its own tail represents life, death, continuation, transformation.
Speaker 12: Snakes themselves metaphorically represent all of those things as well. Yeah,
Speaker 12: and we happen to be in the year twenty twenty five,
Speaker 12: the Year of the Snake. Okay, so a lot of weird,
Speaker 12: interesting transformations have happened before this, you know song came out,
Speaker 12: and it wasn't necessarily planned that I did it when
Speaker 12: it was the year of the Snake. It just coincidental,
Speaker 12: I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, let's give this a spin. And this is
Speaker 6: going to be and we should mention too, this is
Speaker 6: a world radio premiere, so we'll give it the uh,
Speaker 6: we'll give it the world premiere treatment. This is already
Speaker 6: out on the streaming platforms and everything, right, yes, but
Speaker 6: this will be the first time that this track has
Speaker 6: been featured on FM radio, and so everybody listened carefully.
Speaker 6: This is called Eternal Serpent Scream and the project is
Speaker 6: No Siva and this is really cool. And then we'll
Speaker 6: come back and we'll talk a little bit more.
Speaker 1: You are listening to WU M.
Speaker 13: And H.
Speaker 2: World Premiere.
Speaker 15: Bake four Fast three.
Speaker 5: S S something.

Speaker 6: Well, that's so cool. I didn't even want to talk
Speaker 6: over the end of it. I love that, I love
Speaker 6: I love everything about that. That is so so good.
Speaker 6: That is brand new from No Siva. That is Eternal
Speaker 6: Serpent Scream and we have Nikolai came from No Siva
Speaker 6: here with us a live in studio and that that
Speaker 6: is so good. Dude, that is so good.
Speaker 10: I really appreciate that.
Speaker 6: Absolutely. We haven't we haven't had an opportunity to play
Speaker 6: something like that on the show in a long time,
Speaker 6: come to think of it. And it's just it's dark
Speaker 6: it's intense. It's uh, it's so yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 12: That was that was genuinely my main concern when I
Speaker 12: had reached out to you guys, like, are they going
Speaker 12: to want to play something like this?
Speaker 17: Oh?
Speaker 6: Hell yeah, you kidding? I want, I want oh my god, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I want you to record a full album and we'll
Speaker 6: play the whole thing. I'm waiting for you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you got to come back on that. I'll hold
Speaker 10: you to that, absolutely, dude.
Speaker 6: No contact. Yeah, that is that is really really cool.
Speaker 6: That is really really cool. And that's so as we
Speaker 6: mentioned too, that's currently on all the streaming platforms. People
Speaker 6: can find it.
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, everywhere wherever.
Speaker 6: They get their music. Excellent, excellent. Uh yeah. So if
Speaker 6: you are just joining us on the Saturday morning, Nikola
Speaker 6: I from No Siva is here with us in studio.
Speaker 6: And now, what's kind of the the trajectory for because
Speaker 6: you are working on more stuff right, is is there
Speaker 6: a plan to have an EP or an album or
Speaker 6: just release singles or have you thought that far ahead yet.
Speaker 12: Or I've kind of bounced back and forth. I would
Speaker 12: like to just release an entire album. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 12: this song alone took two years to do, so there's
Speaker 12: no time frame. I don't want to rush something, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 12: when I originally was doing this, I was rushing it,
Speaker 12: and then the more that I rushed it, the the
Speaker 12: worst the lyrics were coming out. And I'm usually someone
Speaker 12: who takes my time, especially when it comes to lyrics,
Speaker 12: and I had never written lyrically like this before. Really,
Speaker 12: I was just doing a lot of a lot of meditation,
Speaker 12: a lot of research, boning up on a lot of
Speaker 12: like Carl Jung philosophy, and it just kind of hit
Speaker 12: me one day and I'm like, oh, I could totally
Speaker 12: write all of this, and I, you know, just took
Speaker 12: stuff from my own personal life and traumatic past and
Speaker 12: I used it in a positive way, with a very
Speaker 12: you know, dark gloomy imagery and sound.
Speaker 6: Yeah. No, it's It's fantastic. I'm curious, has anyone from
Speaker 6: your past who is aware of what you went through
Speaker 6: or perhaps involved in some way. Have has anyone from
Speaker 6: your past heard the track or do you know if
Speaker 6: they've heard it or have you shared it with anyone who?
Speaker 12: A lot of people that I'm ei they're friends with,
Speaker 12: or some of my own family. I don't really talk
Speaker 12: to a lot of my family, but the family that
Speaker 12: I do keep, they have all heard of that. And
Speaker 12: you know, my friends, for example, they they love this
Speaker 12: for me because they're like, oh, you know, this is
Speaker 12: what we always thought you would do, but this is
Speaker 12: much darker than what we were expecting you were going
Speaker 12: to do. And then my family kind of is just
Speaker 12: like they're supportive, but they're like, I don't get it.
Speaker 6: Sure, sure, yeah, but it's cool though that they're still supportive.
Speaker 6: You know. That's right, That's that's really good. That's really good. Now,
Speaker 6: prior to this, what did you do? Because you've been
Speaker 6: making music, like you said, most of your life. I mean,
Speaker 6: what what what did you do prior to this? Did
Speaker 6: you were you in bands? Did you do other kinds
Speaker 6: of solid material?
Speaker 12: I've I've played in bands on and off since I
Speaker 12: was fifteen sixteen years old. Yeah, I've been in a
Speaker 12: couple of local bands from around here that didn't really
Speaker 12: go anywhere.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Usually the problem is is nobody wants to do it.
Speaker 12: People can't get along, sure, travel, money, whatever the reason. Yeah,
Speaker 12: but I do make other projects on the side, Like
Speaker 12: I have a entirely different project that I do that's
Speaker 12: more electronics synth wave dark wave, and they have another
Speaker 12: project where I just write, you know, acoustic folky type
Speaker 12: of stuff, very very inspired by like Donovan and Neil Young,
Speaker 12: specifically Neil Young era from like.
Speaker 10: What what what is that?
Speaker 12: The autumn album? Oh okay, Yeah, I'm trying to think
Speaker 12: of what that is. It's it's got like old Man
Speaker 12: and part of Gold. It's like one of his best Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I know that. I know that it's funny too.
Speaker 6: I can picture I can actually.
Speaker 10: Picture it if I didn't stay up so late last night.
Speaker 6: I remember I can picture the cover, but just not
Speaker 6: the title. Yeah, I know what you mean. Yeah, No,
Speaker 6: that's that's really cool. Yeah, so you do. So do
Speaker 6: you have do you have kind of a favorite thing
Speaker 6: as far as these different projects that you do. Is
Speaker 6: there something that is more compelling to you to work
Speaker 6: on than the others or do you kind of love
Speaker 6: them all equally because it's all creating music.
Speaker 12: I just in general really love to make music. Yeah,
Speaker 12: it's more of like a emotion in the moment type
Speaker 12: of thing. So sometimes if I'm feeling sad or sappy,
Speaker 12: I'll pick up my acoustic and I'll write it sad, sappy,
Speaker 12: you know, folk type of song.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 12: If I'm feeling more angry or rebellious and I just
Speaker 12: want to write that type of stuff, I'll do the
Speaker 12: No Siva stuff. If I want to do something that's
Speaker 12: more I don't know, dark, romanticism or just fun, I'll
Speaker 12: do the more electronic product.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, project.
Speaker 6: What's the electronic project? What's the name of that. I'm
Speaker 6: curious to look it up.
Speaker 12: It's called ghoul King, Okay, because I have one song
Speaker 12: that's also out. Oh but you know, I mainly came
Speaker 12: on here today to talk about No Siva.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, No. I love that kind of stuff though, too.
Speaker 6: Any any kind of electronic music I think is well,
Speaker 6: you know what, let me ask you this because I'm
Speaker 6: really curious too about influences when it comes to electronic music.
Speaker 6: I mean, I assume Nine Inch Nails is in there.
Speaker 12: Nine Inch Nails is more so, I would say in
Speaker 12: a lot of like the No Siva type of stuff.
Speaker 12: But some of the electronic songs that I have written,
Speaker 12: whether they're finished or not, definitely Nine Inch Nails, Ministry,
Speaker 12: Skinny Puppy, like all the original greats. I've also been
Speaker 12: a lot highly inspired over the years by the original
Speaker 12: keyboard player from Marilyn Manson.
Speaker 6: I forget. I don't remember his name.
Speaker 12: His real name is Stephen Beer. He was Pogo and
Speaker 12: then he was also like mc dona Wayne Gacy, they
Speaker 12: take his name. I became friends with him on social
Speaker 12: media way back in like MySpace, and I've had him
Speaker 12: on Instagram, I don't know, over ten years now at
Speaker 12: this point, and every once in a while, like I'll
Speaker 12: reach out to him be like, hey, you know I
Speaker 12: was looking at wanting to get this, do you know
Speaker 12: anything about it? Or if I wanted to learn to
Speaker 12: do this, how can I do this? And he's been
Speaker 12: cool enough to kind of point me in the right direction,
Speaker 12: but flat out being like I'm not going to tell
Speaker 12: you how to do this because then you're going to
Speaker 12: take my secrets. That makes me unique, sure, because he
Speaker 12: was very unique in that band, as absolutely, But from
Speaker 12: what I have learned over the years from him, like
Speaker 12: he's kind of like just loosely guiding my hand, being like, well,
Speaker 12: you could try this, and then figuring it out on
Speaker 12: my own. I've learned how to do a handful of
Speaker 12: things that he could do, and no, not really anybody
Speaker 12: else could do this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's really cool too, to have a mentor, right.
Speaker 12: I mean, you know I've told him so many times,
Speaker 12: like you're the reason I picked up a keyboard, No kidding,
Speaker 12: which is accurate.
Speaker 6: Oh, very cool. Well, is he still active in uh?
Speaker 6: I mean what?
Speaker 13: What?
Speaker 6: What is he doing? Does he have a current project?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 12: He's he's not been in the band for over twenty years.
Speaker 12: I think, Yeah, he's married, he has a kid. I
Speaker 12: believe he lives in Jersey. But he posts a lot
Speaker 12: of he posts a lot of videos on his Instagram,
Speaker 12: like multiple times a day of him just kind of
Speaker 12: messing around with synthesizers and noise machines and just you know,
Speaker 12: just chow people what he can do, and just a
Speaker 12: lot of people comments and don't really love what he does.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh that's cool. Is it liberating for you to
Speaker 6: be able to do to do these projects instead of
Speaker 6: being in you know, because I know from my own
Speaker 6: experience in bands, I could relate to what you were
Speaker 6: saying about. You know, sometimes like those varying levels of commitment.
Speaker 6: You know, if you're in a band with a bunch
Speaker 6: of people and sometimes not everyone's moving in the same direction,
Speaker 6: and then you've got scheduling and all that, And is
Speaker 6: it liberating to kind of be able to leave that
Speaker 6: behind and do what you're doing now.
Speaker 12: It's liberating in the fact that I can kind of
Speaker 12: step away from the drama aspect of those things. Yeah,
Speaker 12: and just kind of do whatever I want in my
Speaker 12: own way, and no one's gonna be like, oh, I
Speaker 12: don't like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 12: What I don't like is not having the camaraderie of
Speaker 12: you know, brotherhood. That's a big thing for me. And
Speaker 12: there's also like being in a room where you're physically
Speaker 12: hearing the music, you're feeling that vibe it's creating, you know,
Speaker 12: that serotonin boost and the adrenaline kicks in and you
Speaker 12: just you just go all for it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's what I don't have. That's what I miss.
Speaker 12: So if I could be in a room physically doing
Speaker 12: this with people, absolutely. The problem is in my current situation,
Speaker 12: I don't have a vehicle, which is unfortunate went out
Speaker 12: in December. But you know, you can find ways around that.
Speaker 12: There's buses, there's whatever, you do whatever. And if I
Speaker 12: were to meet the right people who were actually interested,
Speaker 12: you know, I would be willing to do that. But
Speaker 12: that is one of the goals is to try and
Speaker 12: find live members for this, to actually make this a
Speaker 12: thing once an actual you know, a handful of more
Speaker 12: songs is done, released enough to go out and actually
Speaker 12: play them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh that would be fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, Have you
Speaker 6: made a video for this or you have you? Have
Speaker 6: you thought about it? Oh?
Speaker 12: I absolutely have an idea, and I already have somebody
Speaker 12: that I been talking to in mind for the video
Speaker 12: and the concept of everything. And there's been the idea
Speaker 12: tossed around by my girlfriend actually knowing that I don't
Speaker 12: really like snakes, I'm cool with them, but she recommended
Speaker 12: that I do some kind of creepy warehouse, abandoned hospital
Speaker 12: whatever with snakes involved, obviously because it's the name of
Speaker 12: the song and what it's about. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 12: I would be fine with, you know, filming something holding
Speaker 12: a snake or whatever.
Speaker 6: Yeah, as long as this snake isn't going to kill you, right,
Speaker 6: I would That would freak me out.
Speaker 8: No, no, thank you.
Speaker 10: I will be on the other side of the planet.
Speaker 6: Yeah, call call us Indiana Jones. We don't, we don't,
Speaker 6: we don't, we don't need any snakes. Yeah no, no,
Speaker 6: but uh no, That's cool though, that you're going to
Speaker 6: do something because that that song, Yeah, it needs a video, absolutely,
Speaker 6: that would be That would be amazing. That would be amazing.
Speaker 6: Do you get to play out it all these days,
Speaker 6: like doing the acoustic stuff or anything. Do do you
Speaker 6: have any opportunities to perform live? Or have you just
Speaker 6: been focused on the studio.
Speaker 12: It's work mostly focused on the studio work. I mean
Speaker 12: the last handful of years, with the pandemic and everything,
Speaker 12: it kind of made it that I didn't really want
Speaker 12: to go out as much. Yeah, And oddly enough, the
Speaker 12: pandemic is actually what kind of lit this fire for
Speaker 12: me because I had nothing else to do, and I
Speaker 12: had a room full of instruments yep, enough to do
Speaker 12: an entire.
Speaker 10: Band, and I'm like, well, now's now's the time.
Speaker 12: So that's how I started the electronic project and then
Speaker 12: from there, that's how I came up with the idea
Speaker 12: and concept of no Ceva, And that's how I met
Speaker 12: Jonah and just kind of put everything together. And yeah,
Speaker 12: but I mean as far as like at least the
Speaker 12: band name no Siva that came from my best friend
Speaker 12: of twenty two years from high school. We were talking
Speaker 12: one day, and I was like, this is what I
Speaker 12: want to do, and he was just like, why don't
Speaker 12: you just use no Ceva? I'm like, what does that
Speaker 12: even mean? He's like, oh, it was a name that
Speaker 12: I used like for two shows and nobody liked it
Speaker 12: and when we were in a band together, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 12: I didn't know that you ever did that. But I
Speaker 12: was like, well, what does it mean? He's like, oh,
Speaker 12: it means g nosis of Siva or knowledge of Shiva.
Speaker 12: And I started, like, you know, doing more research, and
Speaker 12: I'm like, okay, well, if I'm gonna use a name
Speaker 12: like that, what does Siva represent?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 12: She happened to also represent all of the things that
Speaker 12: I'm talking about, and just so happens to have a
Speaker 12: snake and light and dark and it just all the
Speaker 12: same things. And they just started falling into place more
Speaker 12: and more in this weird way that it was like destiny,
Speaker 12: you know, oh, very cool, very cool?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Is it a is it a common conversation? Like we
Speaker 6: talked earlier about, I asked you, am I saying the
Speaker 6: name correctly? And it turned out I was do you
Speaker 6: do you often have to tell people how to pronounce it?
Speaker 12: People can't even remember how to say Nichol. I have
Speaker 12: the time, Like I've had people call me Nicholas. I've
Speaker 12: people call me, uh like just the weirdest name. Like
Speaker 12: I met somebody once and he's like Eric, right, and
Speaker 12: I'm like, no, Eric, I don't know.
Speaker 6: Oh that's funny.
Speaker 12: People cannot spell it to save their life either. It's
Speaker 12: just I don't understand how it's so difficult. But yeah,
Speaker 12: I had a dollar for you know every time.
Speaker 6: Well, I have seen Nichola I spelled a few different
Speaker 6: ways over the years. But but I also it's not
Speaker 6: a name I've seen spelled a lot. It's not a
Speaker 6: name you encounter a lot, at least not in this
Speaker 6: part of the in this part of the world.
Speaker 10: True.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, And by the way too, we were also
Speaker 6: talking off here. So you grew up in the Midwest, Yes,
Speaker 6: in Indiana.
Speaker 10: Yes.
Speaker 6: And what brought you up here?
Speaker 12: Long story short was a woman okay, that I'm not
Speaker 12: with anymore, And by chance I actually ended up meeting
Speaker 12: the love of my life who I've been with for
Speaker 12: seven years now. Oh good, So I met her during
Speaker 12: the breakup portion, like within the first year or whatever.
Speaker 12: I was actually seeing somebody else. And then a friend
Speaker 12: of mine was like, Hey, I'm going to this birthday party.
Speaker 12: You should come, And I went and I saw her,
Speaker 12: and I just I was like, oh, I remember her.
Speaker 12: I met her randomly at a party, like in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 12: I moved here in thirteen. So when I first moved here,
Speaker 12: I was living out in like Hillsboro, and I was
Speaker 12: with that other person and I met my now partner
Speaker 12: seven years excellent. So like a random party, and then
Speaker 12: I went to her birthday party years later and reconnected
Speaker 12: and just started talking and spending time together. And yeah,
Speaker 12: one thing led to another.
Speaker 6: Excellent. That's awesome. Is she a musician at all?
Speaker 10: Or she's not.
Speaker 12: She's a photographer. She's a pretty pretty brilliant photographer.
Speaker 6: Excellent.
Speaker 12: I wish that she would pick it back up. She's
Speaker 12: also artistics. She can draw really well. Yeah, one of
Speaker 12: the most beautifully minded people I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 12: Just a go get her all about living life in
Speaker 12: the moment, spontaneous. But she's also one of the best
Speaker 12: poets I've ever read. Anything from the way that she
Speaker 12: writes has actually inspired me and a lot of the
Speaker 12: stuff that I've been doing recently, and that was kind
Speaker 12: of the same thing with this song is that I
Speaker 12: was taking too much too seriously basically, and I would
Speaker 12: I was sitting and I was looking at a lot
Speaker 12: of her poetry, and I was like, how do you
Speaker 12: write like this? Thinking that to myself, and then I
Speaker 12: started trying, and over the course of two years, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 12: I think I got this, and I wrote something from
Speaker 12: that viewpoint, okay. And I explained that to her and
Speaker 12: I'm like, I'm not taking anything of yours. I'm just
Speaker 12: taking the way that you you do this because it's
Speaker 12: different than how I normally would write. And because I've
Speaker 12: done that, I've been able to come up with so
Speaker 12: many more interesting things than I've ever done before. Because
Speaker 12: of the way I used to write is just it's
Speaker 12: just not the same anymore. It's gotten better.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Cool, Oh, that's very cool. That's very cool. Do
Speaker 6: you have any idea when you might have another No
Speaker 6: Siva track? Any any I know you don't want to
Speaker 6: put a timetable on it, but do you think in
Speaker 6: the next year you might have something or I'm just
Speaker 6: dying here more. I just love that song.
Speaker 12: I absolutely I'd absolutely want to release another one within
Speaker 12: the year.
Speaker 10: If not sooner, it's just a matter of time.
Speaker 6: And will will you continue to work with Jonah?
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12: Jonah and I don't know each other incredibly well, but
Speaker 12: like the times that I've worked with him and talked
Speaker 12: to him, you know, like he's like a brother already,
Speaker 12: you know, like we shoot each other text messages or
Speaker 12: send each other memes and you know, TikTok videos and stuff.
Speaker 12: So like I look at him at this point like okay,
Speaker 12: like we're locked in. I like what this guy does.
Speaker 12: He was also one of the first people to tell me,
Speaker 12: you know, like, you know, don't don't think so lowly
Speaker 12: of yourself, because when I sent him my vocals, I'm like,
Speaker 12: you know, he's probably going to be bad because I've
Speaker 12: never taken lessons for this. Oh And he was just like, dude,
Speaker 12: I've been doing this stuff for like years, and you're
Speaker 12: telling me that you only learn how to do this
Speaker 12: within like under two years. That's pretty impressive. And I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 12: well maybe I can naturally just you know, do this.
Speaker 12: So he believes in me, and that's why he also
Speaker 12: wanted to work with me, because when I reached out
Speaker 12: to him originally and said this is the idea I
Speaker 12: have immediately locked in and was like, yes, I want
Speaker 12: to work with you. Yeah, and he won't just work
Speaker 12: with anybody.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's really cool. And there's something about, uh,
Speaker 6: there's something about creativity that bonds people, you know, and
Speaker 6: you can you know, like you said, you've never met him,
Speaker 6: you know, you've only you've you've just worked with him
Speaker 6: on the music, but you've never met him in person.
Speaker 6: But it's like, uh, when when it's when it creating,
Speaker 6: something is involved. It's like there's a bond that forms,
Speaker 6: it kind of transcends actually meeting the person, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean. I don't know if i'm I think
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. I'm not really articulating it
Speaker 6: very well.
Speaker 10: But I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 10: I've I've like video chatted with him a handful of times.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, so you've you've seen each other. Yeah.
Speaker 10: He's actually younger than.
Speaker 11: Me, is he?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I'll have to. I'm curious to look
Speaker 6: him up now. I'd like to see what what bands
Speaker 6: he's in, because he sounds like a like a pretty
Speaker 6: interesting guy and obviously he's doing great stuff. So uh, plus,
Speaker 6: we love those musicians from Texas. A lot of a
Speaker 6: lot of great stuff coming.
Speaker 12: Out the Corpus Christie. Texas is actually I think the
Speaker 12: metal capital of the US, is it. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 12: some of the greatest metal bands out there.
Speaker 6: Is that where Pantera's from. I know, obviously, I know
Speaker 6: they're from Texas. I don't remember what city.
Speaker 12: I don't know if they're from the same city. But
Speaker 12: bands like I'm pretty sure, like job for Cowboys from
Speaker 12: Corpus Christie.
Speaker 6: I believe so. Yeah, and then.
Speaker 12: They're like so many of these new like slam death,
Speaker 12: grindcore bands are all coming from Texas for whatever reason.
Speaker 6: Oh, there's so much good stuff. Yeah, because we've interviewed
Speaker 6: a lot of guests from Texas. Some of the best
Speaker 6: metal bands. Oh yeah, Oh my gosh. Yeah. It's funny
Speaker 6: too because people who don't know they think of like,
Speaker 6: you know, Texas, I think of country music.
Speaker 8: That was me.
Speaker 10: I did too, that was me.
Speaker 6: That was absolutely me.
Speaker 18: And then all of a sudden, I'm getting metal after
Speaker 18: metal after me.
Speaker 6: I'm like, these guys are amazing. Yeah, it's yea, there's
Speaker 6: a lot of town in Texas.
Speaker 18: We had Warhog on last week.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, and they're from Texas.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Warhog is fantastic. Yeah, they're from Dallas and just
Speaker 6: just great, great band. Yeah, so good, so good.
