12:45
routine that keeps me happy i stay in
12:47
myself i stay in my person and I stay in
12:49
my body as much as I can wherever I am i
12:52
have a real belief that I get to do this
12:55
it's not that I'm doing it because well
12:57
they you know I have a song and I did it
12:59
before the song American Boy came along
13:02
i you know I've had the the blessing to
13:06
have the record i prayed for it and God
13:08
said "Yeah you good
13:10
take that forever." And I said "Thank
13:12
you." Um but yeah I have my routines to
13:15
have my things and I and it's it's me
13:17
remembering who I am and what I'm here
13:18
to do above all of it that keeps me in
13:20
that space and it's to be light do you
13:22
do you do you cheer yourself on you ever
13:24
look in the mirror and give yourself
13:26
affirmations what kind of stuff you say
13:28
to you i look I tell myself while I'm
13:31
brushing my teeth and I'm wrapping my
13:33
hair from whatever hey depends on
13:36
whether I want to call myself [ __ ] or
13:37
sis or whatever right right that's how I
13:40
feel in the morning i don't you know my
13:42
meaning is what it means you got some
13:44
[ __ ] to do
13:45

13:51
edging get out there and make it go i
13:54
This is a morning thing this is a
13:55
regular thing in some capacity in some
13:57
way i believe in mirror talk i believe
13:59
in speaking to your body i believe your
14:01
body hears everything you say so for me
14:04
that's the most important part of all of
14:06
this if I don't say good things to
14:07
myself if I don't believe that uh all of
14:12
this is just for the show you know but I
14:14
truly believe it i be having fun talking
14:16
to people in the middle of the show cuz
14:17
it's truth it's like how I feel like oh
14:19
this is real quiet i don't Why are you
14:21

14:24

14:28

14:30

14:33
you to talk about your relationship with
14:34
D nice y for D Nice right and you guys
14:39
seem to have a really great chemistry
14:41
with creating how did that begin for
14:43
y'all oh my goodness h music i was um
14:46
maybe my 30th birthday i met Dice in
14:49
general you're like "Oh [ __ ] my name is
14:51
Dice dice right?" I was in New York and
14:56
I remember my 30th birthday came along
14:57
and I had just met him as a DJ was like
14:59
"I don't really want to insult you with
15:01
what I don't think I got for your fee so
15:04
can you just make me a playlist for my
15:06
birthday?" And he turned up max Glazer
15:09
turned up and Emma West turned up and
15:11
they all just DJed my party for free and
15:14
I know and I'm 30 years old it's my
15:16
first official birthday in the United
15:18
States i came here when I was 27 so for
15:21
me at 30 it was like these are all
15:23
lowkey my heroes just out here doing me
15:26
a solid and he's been like big brother
15:28
ever since and all three of them to be
15:30
fair but like real family like we don't
15:33
we pull up for each other you know like
15:35
we've all been here and done this in the
15:37
same way that we for years you know so
15:39
when it's true it's true it's real i
15:41
just wanted to give people a little
15:42
insight behind the curtain that there
15:44
are real people in this business like
15:47
very authentic real people in this
15:49
business and I want to go ahead and
15:51
volunteer DJ head to DJ for you for free
15:54
okay just like just like MOS did right
15:56
here no English
16:02
listen we'll pay you what you need but
16:04
we love you we love you i
16:07
have no clue it's possible thank you
16:12
but I think you're a legend i love you
16:13
you're brilliant sir you are thank you
16:16
estelle I wanted to um tap back into
16:19
programming your subconscious because
16:21
I'm curious being such a
16:23
multi-dimensional creative you know um I
16:26
had mentioned how you're not only an
16:27
artist you're also a radio host as well
16:30
and for that type of I don't know the
16:34
coupling of those two roles when you are
16:37
not only creating your own music but
16:39
curating the music of others
16:42
interviewing others and you're hearing
16:45
their journey journeys you're hearing
16:47
whatever creativity is coming from them
16:50
how do you still honor your
16:52
individuality and not have all of that
16:55
seep into your own spirit well I I Well
17:00
I don't think that's even possible okay
17:02
to be honest cuz if like I look at I
17:05
mean we all start I started as a fan i'm
17:07
still a fan i like music i'm a fan of
17:10
you like I've been a fan of you like all
17:13
Glocks down okay do you understand like
17:17
okay and so to me it's it's nothing to
17:21
speak to another person just about their
17:22
process or give light to or share them
17:25
with the world in the same way as I
17:28
listen to a I listen to a Dennis Brown
17:31
record and now I'm fascinated with
17:34
baselines i'm listening to a you know I
17:37
listen to a Duran Duran and I'm like
17:38
this is my favorite dance you know like
17:41
you take pieces from everybody yes and
17:44
so it doesn't cloud me it doesn't it
17:46
makes me original to me because the way
17:47
I'm going to do it there's no other
17:49
fingerprint like mine right it's going
17:51
to be mine you know so I I love that's
17:54
how I that's how I do it and I look at
17:55
it like God gave me a way to be creative
17:58
i don't judge it i don't get in my own
18:00
way about it i just be creative i say
18:02
thank you and be like well show me how
18:04
to do this you know and then just on the
18:07
technical side I started when I was when
18:10
I started off in London before I became
18:12
an artist I was finding every way to be
18:15
in music i just wanted to be a part of
18:17
it and one of my friends another DJ was
18:20
be like I got the I got the the the
18:22
graveyard shift
18:24
yeah I got the graveyard shift at Choice
18:26
FM in London at the time come on with me
18:29
and so I would just go sit and look and
18:31
watch and listen to what he was playing
18:33
and how he was mixing and be like
18:34
"Okay." You know and every so often he
18:36
let me get on the mic every so often mhm
18:39
um but it was just another practice of
18:41
learning another thing about myself that
18:43
I could do you know still great approach
18:46
what's the next new music we're going to
18:48
hear well you have Love on Love that's
18:50
out right now yes yes yeah everything
18:54
with this new So I have a new album
18:56
coming i should say that first um in a
18:58
couple months so I'm very excited and in
19:00
a month [ __ ]
19:02
um I can say that right okay yeah very
19:05
soon um but everything on this album is
19:10
on purpose it's
19:12
intentional maybe 2018 I started
19:15
recording this album i said this in
19:17
interview and it felt like everything
19:18
was dark everything was just cloudy and
19:21
the music was just repetitive and the
19:22
same sounds i was like I want to dance i
19:24
want to feel light i want to be my fairy
19:27
self my friends call me a fairy when I'm
19:29
outside in the clubs cuz I'll be out
19:31
there
19:32
like and they're like people it's not
19:35
and people stare at me and it's like
19:36
they're not staring at you cuz you look
19:37
weird they're staring at you cuz you're
19:38
enjoying yourself and they're like how
19:40
can I get like her and a couple of my
19:43
other friends are on the same vibe so I
19:45
wanted that feeling in the music that I
19:47
was putting out and so I started
19:49
recording this and every single song was
19:50
made with the intention of making people
19:52
dance and feel light and feel happy so
19:55
when I'm singing love and love and love
19:57
Dice was um playing on the radio or on
20:01
our radio on our uh phones right i
20:04
stayed on the radio on Instagram live
20:06
and I just felt like what he's talking
20:09
about and what he was saying at the time
20:11
was like now's the time for love now's
20:13
the time to remember that we're like
20:14
now's the He kept saying that and I was
20:16
like this this is it i just wanted him
20:18
to come on and do that on that record
20:20
Love and Love so when I say play it when
20:22
I say turn it up when I'm like running
20:23
that louder it's because I want you to
20:25
feel it i want you to feel the energy
20:27
about it it's not to prove to you that
20:28
it's a good song play it loud it's a
20:30
good song it's like feel this don't
20:32
overthink it don't get into your bag
20:34
about like what am I supposed to do with
20:36
my feet to this just feel it just feel
20:38
it just be in it you know listen to the
20:40
words so and the whole album's coming
20:42
it's all about that it's love it's love
20:45
the world needs that right now the world
20:48
needs that right now and and not to get
20:49
you again but it's not to say love is
20:51
just a fairy thing because you can stand
20:54
up for yourself and love in an in a in a
20:57
in an audacious way yes and I think well
21:01
I know with love and love and love I'm
21:02
talking about what I would do well what
21:05
we did do and what we have to continue
