So so Henry, who the fuck do we have on the podcast today, actually? Welcoming in on the 20th episode of the One More Time Podcast. Former Air Force pilot, turned key Avengers member, Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel! Yeah. Thank goodness. She made time in her busy schedule to come on the One More Time Podcast. And can I just say I loved you in Endgame? Thank you. You're fantastic. Thanks. You're saving the world and coming on the podcast. Some of my best work, yeah. You know. All jokes aside, we have the great recording artist from Valdosta, Georgia, now here in the A. Amelia. Thank you. Amelia. Amelia, appreciate you coming on. Thank you. I know it's been a a you know a long weekend of partying for you. Yeah. Weddings. We appreciate you fighting through it, drinking lots of water, eating lots of ramen to re-rejuvenate yourself, re-energize to come on to our show. Yeah, I took a nap.

I had ramen. Um yeah. You know, she's ready to go. I haven't started drinking again. Maybe that's what's next for me tonight. So I don't, you can't get hungover if you're always a little buzzed. There you go. So I mentioned, you know, you're from Valdosta, Georgia. For those that don't know, it is a small-ish southern town near the border of Georgia, Florida. Yes. Correct. Your friend described the fact that like you and and her and kind of your group of of you know girls weren't really the stereotypical Valdosta girls. What did she mean by that? Would you say? Um, well, Valdosta is very southern. Um, there's a lot of like old wealthy people that live there. There's a lot of military. people. Yeah, we're young and poor. So we were like, you know, this isn't really for us. We don't golf, we don't fish, we don't hunt. So, and those were like the main three things to do. It's the Holy Trinity down there.

Yeah. Okay. Um, and so yeah, we all traveled a lot together. We all went to the uh it's a very short drive to the beach to Jacksonville, Florida. Okay. Is that the Gulf? No, that's East Coast. That's Atlanta. Yeah, Atlantic County. Atlantic Coast, okay. I'm really bad with that. Geography. Come on. I really don't, yeah. Um Cuba, are you smarter than the fifth grader intro music? Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Yeah, exactly. I love that show. Me too. Apparently you didn't catch that episode where they talked about where Jacksonville was. Yeah, yeah. Maybe next time. Um but yeah, we grew up going there, going to the beach a lot, traveling a lot. We all cheered together, so we were in Atlanta a lot. And um, so every time I came up here, it just felt more and more like home. And so then I ended up moving here eventually. So, what was your first memory of being exposed to music? Do you remember kind of that first exposure? I mean, growing up, I would usually spend like all my money on CDs. Um, or any time that like I was out.

Remember CDs? Shout out CDs? Shout out CDs. Compact discs. They really were, they did what they needed to do. Yep. Yeah. And uh they played their role. They did. Yeah, they did. And I had my little portable CD player I would take on the bus with me. Not a walkman, just uh I wasn't, I'm not that old. The off-brand. Yeah, Henry, you're dating yourself. So at you. At myself. Sorry. Damn. I should have the soundboard. Did you have like the folders with the slips, you know, in there? Oh man, I used to like love flipping through my floppy disc slips too. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't think I ever actually used a floppy disc, but I always had like they were always on the school supply list. You haven't lived, if you didn't use a floppy disk. But then I was like in the transition to where we were getting on jump drive. So then I just had a jump drive each semester. Oh man. Yeah. The the floppy disc era was amazing, let me tell you. Yeah, yeah. They did what they needed to do too. Um, so like was it your parents playing music? Or like friends, or like do you remember kind of how you even.

I would say like my my dad, especially huge like music guy. Um, grew up with him playing guitar all the time. There was a piano at my grandparents' house, so I started playing piano very young. Um because what else do you do at your grandparents' house? Yeah, that's about it. Um All mine had were like diet cokes and peppermint like candies or whatever. Like or York patties. Oh my god. I ate so many of those. My grandma had to hide them in her closet. Like she literally put them like behind her shoes in the closet. That's incredible. And I wasn't allowed to like, I would just I couldn't reach it because I was small. And then yeah, she would literally like push them to the back of her closet. Amelia's coming over. Let's hide the York patties. literally, it was like, dang. Um, so it was an issue. But yeah, I would say, yeah, from being very, very young, always had music on at home. Um, my we had like a big stereo system in the living room. So my brother and my dad and I would always just like be playing music. Um, my dad, like, actually, weirdly enough, puts me on to a lot of music. Still to this day.

Yeah, like he's a big like alternative rock fan. What's the last group he put you on or artists he put you on? Let's see. He'll like he'll show me like bands from like the 90s and 2000s that I hadn't like really heard of. So, like he put me on to like Keen. I don't know if you remember them. Okay. Um, they were like one of his favorites. He's a big Weezer fan, so anytime Weezer does anything, he puts me onto them. Yep. They're touring right now. Yeah. Still. Yeah, they are touring. Yeah, I've seen them live like four or five times, like with my dad. With pops. Yeah, yeah. Awesome. Um, and yeah, we watch like anytime I'm home, we watch like old concert series of like let's see. I used to love watching the concert like DVDs. Yeah. I vividly remember watching like the Eagles uh Highway to Hell or not Highway to Hell, that's AC/DC but like Hell Over High Water, like Hell Freezes Over. I can't remember the you know the album name. Hello something with hell, yeah. You should watch um the song Remains the Same. It's the Led Zeppelin one. Oh, and my dad and I'm like, my dad has the Led Zeppelin uh DVD set inside. He used to he used to like show me the John Bonham drum solo specifically because I played drums.

He was like drum like this. Example. Yeah, yeah. So you obviously develop into an amazing singer. I mean, you you have one of the most amazing voices I've heard in a long time. And so do you remember the first song that you felt like a true singer? Like, obviously, we all sang songs growing up, right? But like, do you remember one song that was like, damn, I can sing? Like after singing that song? Yeah, I was like obsessed with uh Cher when I was like four and five. So my mom had like the uh Cher's Believe tape or like that project, like on tape. Yeah, and I would ask her to like I literally would like ask her to play it like four or five times in the car on the way to pre-K, and I would just like sit in the back and like close my eyes and just like listen. And she would be like, Can we just like play something else? I'm like, can we play it again? We're about to like pull up to the school. I'm like, I have to do this. Like it was like my morning like ritual, and I would like sing it all the time, was obsessed with Cher. Quick fun fact about that song. It's the first uh like major major release, like uh billboard kind of song that used auto-tune. Yeah, did you watch the pop uh like Netflix show about like pop?

I forget the name of it, but they talked, they talked about that, yeah, and how she was getting like a lot of shit for it. Can I cuss on here? Fuck no fucking yes, you can. What the heck? Um yeah, so she I meant to ask that before I started talking. Um, but yeah, she got a lot of potty mouth. Yes, it wouldn't be the real you. We're trying to get the real Amelia. You're right. I do cuss a lot. My mom hates when I cuss in songs. Sorry, mom. She hates when I cuss. Sorry, mom. in life. And I'm like, mom, you did this to me. You you cussed quite a bit too, probably. Yeah, but sorry, mom, love you. So, I mean, you were starting to sing so well that like your friends would like encourage you. I mean, they they were like they they could tell, no, that they could tell. Literally, yeah. No, like that they could tell that it was like, damn, like she's she's got something like you know, girls singing together. It was like you were clearly the standout, like Jesus, like this girl can actually sing. One of your friends asked you to sing over the rainbow, I think.

How many times do you think you sang that song in your life? Uh a lot. Cause I was obsessed with Wizard of Oz too growing up. So I would sing any song from that whole film, like growing up all the time. All the Willy Wonka songs. Yeah, like I could feel like you just were watching Willy Wonka again. Yeah, it's it's on like HBO Max, and I'm so so excited. So good. Um, but yeah, she Catherine would have me sing somewhere over the rainbow, like on the bus, like we would be writing back from like a competition, it'd be like nighttime and we're all tired. She's like, Could you just like sing for me? And so I would sing for like the whole bus. It's incredible. Yeah. So it's like when you started, you know, kind of dabbling in, you know, making music or you know, recording music, even like were you starting off doing covers or were you writing songs? A little bit of both. I got I had a karaoke machine in my house, so I would do a lot of covers. Um, but once I started getting more like into piano and I learned chords, I would like start like writing little songs. Um, and I would also like play this if I was like, I sound like a little lonely child, but if I was like alone at home, I would I would like set up like a talk show in my room and I would go on as the guest, and then like I would like pretend to answer.

I do that in preparation for the podcast episodes. And I would literally like it. I was playing Amelia like a few hours before this. So thank you. I was doing a terrible job though in comparison. Um, yeah, I would write songs and then go like perform them and like talk about them. Like I would like go on as if I was doing a press conference. What was the name of your talk show? I don't remember. I would, I was obsessed with Oprah growing up, so I think in my head I was like, it's like the Oprah Winfrey Show. And so then I would just go on. It was just the Amelia Show, probably. Yeah, it was the Amelia show. Yeah. So who are some of your favorite artists to cover? Because I I mean, you you know, you've released a good amount of covers, right? And you've performed, you know, you perform covers still to this day. Yeah. Who are some of your favorite artists to cover, would you say? Um I sing a lot of Frank Ocean when I perform. Um I do my own little rendition of American Boy by Estelle and Kanye. Um I do a lot of Amy Winehouse. I'll do some like slower like pop stuff.

That's like Britney Spears. Um Toxic, I like that song. Like I do like a really nice little piano groove. Uh do you have the moves too? Do you have like a choreography? Yeah, while I played the piano. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but yeah, those are some of my favorites. Um I used to sing a lot of Sam Smith growing up a lot of Amy Winehouse. Um, yeah, we're just like literally seeing them over and over and over again. Yeah, we talked about this before, but to me, I think if you're learning anything musical, maybe even anything creative, it's like the best way to start is definitely like imitating, you know. You play the stuff that you like, the stuff that got you into it, you learn how to do that, and then and only then you can kind of start to create your own style. Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah, I think I did that when I was little too. If I heard like Whitney Houston or something, or like Cher or I loved uh Enya when I was growing up. And like anything that they would do, I would like try to like do the same like inflection and stuff. So in Nelly Furtado, like she was a big one for me, and I get I still to this day get compared to Nelly Furtado all the time. Like vocal tone and stuff.

So I think I just like naturally picked that up. So so those artists that you mentioned that you like to cover, is it safe to say they've also influenced like you and you know, as far as your artistry goes? Yeah, I would say so. I think uh Cher was just kind of like she was like the first one that was like I was like, this is like a badass, like diva, like in the best sense of the word. Like um, like um she just like knew what she wanted. She was on, she would perform on these shows, she had an amazing stage presence, she had her own talk show and stuff. And so I think like growing up, like watching all that, I was like, I want to be like her energy, like on stage. That's a big one for a first one. Yeah, yeah, big shoes to fill, yeah. But she's amazing. Um, but yeah, definitely. And then just like watching like live concert stuff with my dad and like going to concerts and stuff, like watching everyone's stage presence and stuff, and like watching like Robert Plant, for instance, like seeing and how soulful he is. I like try to encompass those same kind of things when I'm performing. Yeah, and and so you mentioned you know, you were starting to write a you know a little bit of songs here and there, and you were doing some covers.

Tell us about your songwriting process. Like, you know, what is that like typically? Um, I really like if I think of if a phrase comes into my head or like a word that I like, I'll just write it in my notes like throughout the week, and then I'll like have a session and I'll get like a beat that I like, or we'll either make the beat from scratch or I'll get on a beat that's already pre-made before getting there, and I'll kind of just like read through my notes of like what I wrote down that week, what I was like going through. And then it kind of just like it's almost just like filling in the spaces, or it's like I sometimes will even start with a word, and I'm like, this is a phonetically like pleasing word, like I'm just gonna try to write a song about this, and then I'll do that. So it's kind of it doesn't I don't really have a cassette process because it's like that is a process, super different. Yeah, yeah, so I guess it's a lot more than a lot of people. I think it just like comes as it like I just write it out as it comes to my head, and then when I'm actually in the session, that's when I like just fill in the blanks, basically. I think the most important part is being open to literally as you're going about your day, like and and then get it putting down that buzzword or that buzz phrase because yeah, you could be getting your car wash, you could be doing something random and something cool can happen. And if some people might not think to, you know, remember that moment, but that could be like a key moment in the creative process.

Yeah, and like, yeah, having the discipline that actually stop and write it down. Like because I'll be like falling asleep at night or something, and like the best melody or like the best lyric will come in, and I'm like, I'll remember it tomorrow, and then I fucking forget. I'm like, Rick Rubin just had an episode of his podcast, a broken record podcast. He was interviewing Jaden Smith. And he talked about how he would record melodies into his voice notes because he would always forget them. Yeah, yeah. He'll definitely remember lyrics. He doesn't have an issue. Like, you know, he can remember a lyric and like he'll remember a concept, like whatever. Yeah. But it's the melodies that are something that like if he doesn't fucking do it, like right then and there, immediately. It's he's forgetting it. Yeah. And he's gonna like beat himself up about it. So is it was interesting. melody is hard for me too? Melody is harder than lyrics for me. Like I can write lyrics all day, but like to have something catchy that like works and that is memorable, like I think that's the hardest part. Do you remember your buzzwords from this past week that you wrote down in your notes for the upcoming session? Um I wrote down something about uh Sundays today.

I don't remember exactly what I said, but I had this phrase that popped into my head about something about like Sunday. And so I might write a song about Sundays because I don't know, they can be really scary or they can be really cozy or like really nice, and so I was having like an in-between today. It's a volatile day. Yeah, it is. Yeah, and like today it's a nice kind of drizzly is my favorite weather. Everyone always calls me a psychopath when I say that, but um I love the rain, yeah. I love rain. I it's like my favorite weather. My favorite shit. If I could fall asleep to the rain every day, same. And just like I like I just feel good when it rains outside. I don't know why. So you end up meeting your management team after performing at a showcase in Athens, right? It was in Atlanta. Or okay, all right, all right. So it was in Atlanta. So was that your first time performing or had you been performing, you know, leading up to that? That was my first time performing like an original song. Like I had done a lot of covers and stuff growing up. I would like go to like little open mic nights and stuff, and like any chance I could get to perform in Valdosta, I would.

Um I had a cheer coach, She was also a singer, and so we would constantly just like write music and play um piano and sing all the time. But that was yeah, that was like the first time that I got the opportunity to sing at a showcase like that. And I was like, full disclosure, like I only have one original song really, like that's ready to perform. And they they really took a chance on me, and they were like, Yeah, well, like we really like your voice, like we think you could do a great performance. So I did like maybe four or five covers and then one original song. That's all I had at the time. How'd the original go? It was amazing. It was uh yeah, it was like one of the first like full songs that I wrote that I like was really proud of. Was it like in the middle of the set at the beginning or the end? I think I did it in the middle, and I was like, just to kind of squeeze it in there. I was so nervous. I like I didn't sleep for like two days before that, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. Um, and then afterwards, like that's when they approached me, and I like we kinda it was like very serendipitous because I was like, You guys ran this event really well. I know that I want to be a more serious like recording artist. Do you think that you could manage me?

And they were like, We were gonna ask you the same thing. So it was just like perfect timing. Um, and yeah, I've been with those guys ever since, and they are like brothers. Yeah. At this point, yeah, they're amazing. Shout out to them. Yeah, shout out to Martin, Martin and Danny, right? Martin and Danny. Martin Danny. We'd love to have you on the podcast, my friends. Wow, that was good. Yeah. I wish I said it was a good one. We practiced that. We'd love to have you on the podcast. Didn't we have one guest? I yeah. I I think we had one guest that like could tell we were about to do it because we had already said it once before in the episode. And he like said it caught on or she. I can't remember if you know who it was. But I'm gonna try. So so you go on to perform at like Soho House in New York and LA. You even I think sold out a few of your own shows here in Atlanta. Yeah, yeah. Which is incredible. I don't care if it's 50 cap, like still to be able to say that you've packed a room, you know, by yourself is an amazing, you know, accomplishment. Thank you.

What do you love most about performing? Because you even started talking about studying stage presences at such a young age, like when you're watching concerts, you know, with your dad on DVD. Yeah, I'm not sure. What do you love most about it? I'm obsessed with being on stage. I love it so much. And um, I think just like the energy that comes off of a crowd is like the highest that you will ever feel. And then it's just like to see people liking your stuff or to see people or hearing people sing your songs is like the most like full circle, like incredible moment. The fact that someone, maybe a kid in college, spent his last $15 to come buy a ticket to your show. Like, that's like the most that's like the highest uh like thing for me. Like, I just like love being on stage and I feel so grateful being on stage. That's a theme. We've that's that's becoming a theme, is that moment when you see the connection with the fans? We've had a lot of artists say, like, when they see a fan like singing along or saying that the song touched them or changed them in this way, yeah. That's the moment for them.

Yeah, yeah. If you like there's times that you like turn the mic towards the audience and they like sing like your hook, and you're like, like that feels so good. But so you know, we've had a couple other artists on here that have given some tips and tricks and kind of words of wisdom when it comes to improving the live show. Um, you know, what would be some of your advice to to those that are trying to elevate their their live performance? I would just say let yourself go. Like, don't be scared to completely, like it's almost like this weird out of body like experience, like where it's not even like you and your body anymore. You're just like so overcome and so encompassed by the music that there could be 50,000 people standing in front of you, or there could be one person standing in front of you, but you're still gonna give that like same crazy performance. And I think just like leave every single bit of yourself on that stage, like be very open, very vulnerable, and don't hold back. Do you prepare?

Thank you. Boom. Do you practice and like rehearse a lot? Or is it something that comes really natural where you don't really spend too much time kind of rehearsing? Yeah, I definitely rehearse. Um that's more so for like breathing techniques and stuff for me, like just to make sure I can sing the song. I don't really like do the full performance until I'm like on the stage or like build it up and then I leave everything like that. Some of it you have to go based on the crowd. Yeah. You have to just be able to adjust for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you have like a really chill crowd playing those more chill songs, being a little more chill with like your movement and stuff. And then if it's like those crazy, like full-packed room crowds, like you just turn up Go ham. Yeah. Play all like the crazy, craziest songs that you have. But yeah. Do you ever switch the songs that you're gonna do based when like you if you see the crowd, turn back to the DJ, like do the other one? Yeah. Um I do that a lot. call an audible, like mid-set. The DJ's like, I don't I don't have that record.

Yeah, exactly. I'm emailing it to you. Yeah, no, literally, that's like my uh with like a couple of my last shows, like for the like encore performance. Like, like I don't ever really know what I'm gonna sing for the encore. And then based on just like in that moment how I feel, I'm like, how about we say fucking play this one? It like won't even be like a finished song, it won't even be like I don't even have a performance track to most of them, but I just like kind of do that to see how the crowd receives the song anyways. And so if it's like if they go crazy, I'm like, okay, this is like the next one that I'm putting out. So it's kind of just like a fun way to like gauge like interest and have like that's like the highest energy song. So it's like a free AR. Yeah. It's like you get it, you get that info. Yeah, exactly. So so artist development is somewhat of this like theoretical phrase and like people don't really know what it means and you know how to approach it or whatever. I would say that you've definitely evolved since when you first started to now. For sure.

And you're co you're kind of like a product of some really solid, I would say, artist development. How would you say that you've evolved, you know, since you first got started doing you know music seriously to kind of where you're at now? Um to be frank, I think I used to be way more of like a people pleaser. Like I would really like I wasn't as sh like strict on myself with my own time and stuff. And so I think after like really picking artistry as like my like this is my number one, this is what I'm doing for the rest of my life, just like learning how to say no to people, learning not to people please. Um just kind of like really being more selfish in the best way, like um and focusing on my own career before anything else. Um, I think I've definitely like grown in that sense in the past like even last six months. Like, I feel like I look back at myself six months ago, I'm like, I don't even know who that is anymore. So it's just like constant just becoming more independent and more focused. Is that with the music too?

Like where you think you were making music that you thought people wanted to hear instead of the music you wanted to make? Um yeah, honestly, like I would I would see kind of what was um charting, like I would, or like not even charting, but like stuff that I was like, okay, like this is the box that people want me to be in. Or if like someone was like, Oh, like I like when you do this kind of music, I'm like, okay, so let me make five songs like that. But now such as what though? Like, you know, what were you making at that time? Like when I first started, I was doing more like pop soul, like I would say, like kind of more jazzy influenced stuff. Because a lot of my bit like a lot of my artists that I looked up to growing up were jazz artists as well. Um, and so kind of like doing that and then kind of hearing the reception off of that, and then kind of leaning more into like a pop world, and then people would hear me on these like super super pop songs who are like, this is you, like you're like a little pop star, like girl, whatever. And and so then I was like, well, that's not necessarily the music that I resonate with the most, I guess. So now I just make whatever feels good or whatever I hear, and I'm like, oh, I wish I would have wrote that song.

So then I'll like make a song like that. But yeah. So you seem to be someone who picks things up very naturally. I mean, I think you started playing piano early on at your at your grandma's, but then you know, you learn to play by ear now, I think, right? Like you can you know, kind of play play songs by ear. Yeah. What are some other things that you think you've kind of picked up naturally as you've Hmm. that's a good question? I think uh one that I always like that people are always like, wow, you learn that really fast is like I can learn dances really fast. Like now that TikTok era is like full, full send. Um, my roommate is like Yeah, I feel like I only saw like one dance piece of content though. I feel like you're like hiding that. skill. I gotta get more. Yeah, I gotta get in my like Britney Spears dance book. Yeah, yeah. Because the one I saw, I was like, damn. Yeah, thank you. She got moves for sure. Yeah, ex cheerleader. Yeah, literally, yeah. That's true. Yeah, started. I think I did. I did gymnastics. competition cheerleading is like kind of a hybrid of like you know, dancing slash like gymnastics, obviously. And just performing. And cheer. true to have like stage presence is like a big thing.

Like they say, like have facials or whatever. Like, you have to have your face on the whole time you have to have you're like you're literally like doing a whole performance. So um, yeah, I'd say dancing is one that comes naturally to me. I love dancing. Do you like to dance on stage when you're performing now? Yeah, yeah, you do. Yeah, okay, cool. And I do. well, if yeah, if I'm doing really well and if the crowd is receiving everything really well, then I dance more. That's like how you know that I'm like really having a good, like confident performance. But if I'm like if you're busting a move, I'm like, oh yeah. Okay, yeah. I feel like if it was going bad, I would just start dancing too. Like, yeah. Okay, well, yeah, I like this. Yeah, exactly. Um, but yeah, dancing. Um I actually really like language. I like pick up language really easily. Um what languages do you uh I have been getting more into Spanish. I did like four years of Spanish in school, and then I worked with like a bunch of people, like Spanish speaking only people for two years almost. And um that'll do it right there. Yeah, and that I will I think I learned way more that was the same thing. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

And so I think Spanish, like I want to just continue getting better at it, but I've been like I've I get on like Duolingo and stuff. I like to learn like Italian, French. Um I was I took a lot of Latin growing up, and so I think like once you see like the root words of stuff, like you see like how all like language has just like grown from Latin, basically. Yeah, so it's like very interesting to me. Um except for Russian, which my wife's Russian and I still can't fucking speak a lick of it. Yeah, Russian is really hard. Your wife taught me some good cuss words though that I have written down. So hard, man. They they say that one word on uh nine perfect stranger. She's like, Yeah, for shit. I already forgot it. That's how bad I am in Russian. I can't even remember it from a TV show. It's terrible. It's terrible. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So so other than you know, being able to pick things up naturally, what are some other personal characteristics, you know, do you think kind of define like who Amelia is? I like to ask this question to see kind of what you're all about. I am a huge film buff, honestly.

Like I love like I've seen like everything, not everything, like, but I've I see like movies as they come out. Um, I'm constantly watching like old classic film, um, obsessed with like all anything like Stanley Kubrick made, Quentin Tarantino, a big fan of like all their like old classic work, um, like French film noir, like new wave cinema. Like, I'm just like obsessed with the whole look and feel of all that. So I try to like encompass some of that in my like own visuals. Um, and I would say visuals are very important, like to all of my rollouts. Like, I'm like, we have to have like videos and stuff. And my team's like, you don't have to have video for every everyone, but I'm like, yeah, I do. Because it's just so important. I think that we live in such a visually like everything comes. with a visual. Marketing is videos. If you want to start any business, literally any business, you need to make a hundred videos that are related to your business. Exactly. Everyone's watching videos, yeah. And yeah, so I'd say film is huge. Um, I think traveling also inspires me a lot. So I try to just like I get out of town like all the time.

Um, just to change the scenery helps me write. Um and yeah, and then I think some of my best songs have been written after I've seen like a film, and then I'm like it really inspires me. Like a if I watch like a fucked up like A24 film, then I'll like kind of keep those like images in my head. What is A24? A24 made like Midsommar. Um, they've made hereditary, they've made like all those like the most fucked up movies that are out in America. And uh yeah, so I'm obsessed with anything that they've done, and I just like write about stuff like that sometimes. She's being modest because I've also heard you're hilarious. Thank you. And from multiple people that I spoke with, one of which said she can't drive with you because it's unsafe because you make her laugh so hard that she can't actually drive. Yeah, we that's that just for her that you're displaying this level of humor, or is that should I be scared to drive you anywhere? That person is also hilarious though. So I think when we're within like we can't be within like six feet of each other like that.

You got a social distance. Yeah, like we literally have to like. It's like a magnetic field of laughter. It's like something in our like the chemicals in our brains just like they literally just like we can't we can't be in the car together. And like, yeah, that's been since like high school. Like she really feels like she's gonna wreck. She's like, Don't fucking look at me, don't talk to me, don't breathe. Now I'm scared to look at you. Um yeah, you know, I I dabble in being funny. Yeah, I try. Yeah, definitely. So solo cup. Yes. The moment we've all been waiting for to talk about the latest and greatest Amelia record. Thank you. Solo cup is out now. How did that whole record come together? Um, so that was made with my friend Addie Maxwell and my friend Christian Griswold. Um those are the producers. Yeah, they produced it. Shout out Addie and Christian. Yes, Addie and Christian. We'd love to have you on the podcast. picked it up quick.

she picks up things quickly. Pick up things quickly. Now she can add that to her list next next interview she does. Picks up things quickly. Put that on my resume. But yeah, they produced it. We actually were like out in their studio in Tucker, actually so near here. I think. Shout out Tucker. Oh my god. Shout out Tucker. I'm a Tucker High School graduate. Wow. Tigers. I mean, thanks. I don't know. But yeah, Solo Cup was dope. That was like one of those songs that came so fast. Like um, like it literally was not the the beat wasn't even done yet by the time like I had the whole song written. And um, and yeah, I just like when that happens, it's like the best feeling in the world, and you like know that it's so good. And like then when you have a song that you like keep playing over and over again, like before it's out, you're like, okay, I'm like super excited. So that was like a song that I was very, very excited to get out. Um, I had a second verse on it originally, and then I wasn't like super in love with it, so I sent it to my friend Kenny can fly out in San Diego. Shout out Kenny can fly Kenny can fly.

Kenny. We'd love to have you on the podcast, my friend. He's in uh San Diego, but well kind of. Next time you're in Atlanta, my guy. Well, he'll be here soon. It's another reason. We got Amelia and the One More Time podcast here in the A. Come on, Kenny. Come on out, Kenny. The water's warm. Yeah, warmer than San Diego, probably. So was solo cup one of like the words you wrote in your notes like for the week or something. So actually, solo cup was not, but I had so in my notes it already said heaven every night in my dreams, and that's so fucked up, but you're not there in the morning, until until when the sun's up. Like that whole piece was already in my notes. And so when I heard from what? I don't even really know. Wow, like it's a lot to just willy-nilly write in your notes. That's just how it is. It just comes, it like zaps your brain sometimes, and you're like, Thank you. Yeah, um appreciate it. Yeah, it's literally like some lyric gods. Yeah, literally, like on some like like yeah, like a like a god like zaps your brain. Spiritual presence. And like his muse or her muse, and then they're like, write this. And I'm like, all right, okay, yeah.

Cool. Um, so yeah, sometimes it comes that easy. And um, so then uh like my friend Anna was there, like a bunch of like our friends pulled up, and we were drinking wine out of Red Solo Cups, and so then classy. That was like I had I had those two lines written, and then I was like, My best ideas are in the bottom of Red Solo Cups. And I was like, Okay, perfect, song's done. That's awesome. Uh but yeah, that was like super super fun, and one that like everyone like once we were finished with it, we're like, This is amazing. Like, we're so excited about it. And still, I think it's like my favorite song that I've put out so far. That's awesome. Let's let's let's play a little snippet from it. Yeah, definitely play a little snippet. So when the sun's up, my best ideas are in the bottom of my solo cups. Well that get you wondering when could I even get enough? I won't I suck and never give me so that was a snippet from Solo Cup. Yes.

And we may or may not have already been chatting about this while the song was playing, but when was the last time you performed that one? That was my first time having like my DJ, a drummer and a guitarist. So to have all those like live instruments, yeah, it was so fun. Way better of a show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, my dad, like every time he sees me perform, he's like, It was good, but when are you gonna get a drummer? And I'm like, um Classic dad. Yeah, it's great advice though. Sounds like my dad. Yeah, sure. Uh yeah, so yeah, he was very excited to hear that I had a drummer. Um, did he show up to that one? No, he actually didn't. I was a little bit darn you, dad. I know. Maybe next time. He's busy. They like my parents go on vacation and stuff all the time, and I'm like, I'm like, where are you going? They're like to the beach. And I'm like, I would I would like to go to the beach. Like, I could come with you guys. And they're like, no, not this time. I'm like, you guys see each other all the time. They've been married 37 years. They're together all the time. And then when I try to get in on the plans, they're like, we just like to be with each other. Sorry.

I'm like, okay, cool. What a what a marriage. I know. That sounds like when I'm hanging out with my parents, my sister will call me, and she lives in the same neighborhood. Like all like my folks, myself, and my sister, we all live in the same neighborhood. Yeah. Classic like McTeer compound, like in this neighborhood. And I'll, you know, I'll go to my parents' house, you know, stop by, say hello to them, you know, hang out for a little bit. She'll call and she'll always get so upset that she wasn't invited. Yeah. And like, real talk. We've like taken vacations without her, like just me and my wife and my parents. And like, she's like, where was my invite? We're like, eh, we'll we'll get you on the next one. Yeah, we'll get you on the next one. Yeah. Shout out to all the McTeers one time. Shout out to me. That's like my second shout out on uh all 20 episodes. Except for Ben, all the other McTeers. God darn it. Is McTeer your last name? It is. That's such a cool last name. Thank you. Yeah. Is yours on the beat? Yes. It is. On my birth certificate. It's incredible.

Thank you. Really on the beat. Thank you. So yeah, so she was also telling us that this was a sold-out show at the Masquerade. The new masquerade. Yeah. We heard it. Shout out to the old Masquerade. Yes. Shouts out to the old masquerade. New masquerade. We're trying. But yeah, but the new one. All three levels for those that are not here in Atlanta. There's a heaven, Mm-hmm. a hell. hell, and a purgatory. I was like, so cool, yeah. It is dope. Yeah. And all three levels are sold out. All three. Yeah, for the first time in masquerade history, all three. New masquerade history. Yeah, yeah. At the same time. This guy in his fucking disclaimers. He's really upset. Yeah. I am. We can talk about it more. He's pissed they moved. We should get into it. Yeah, it's okay. It'll be okay. Yeah. And things have to change. I guess. They didn't prepare for this, clearly, because there was lines out the door. No. Friends and fans barely made it into your set. Some probably missed it. Yeah. Um, yeah, I think I pushed my set back like almost an hour, but because I like I went up to Wiley and Jay, and I was like, Do you guys mind if we push it back? And they were like, literally, you just you don't have to play until like all your people are here.

That's awesome. Because it was just like they were stuck like in line. So it was crazy. And then like right after the show, um, Masquerade posted and was like, hiring all positions. We were like, thank you. Clearly, ticket takers, security girls. Literally, I'm like, shit, I'll get up there and work until I gotta get on stage. Stage hands. Yeah. Shout out Wiley from A Wiley from ATL. We'd love to have you on the podcast. Yep. So this is the first time, I think, in three years of trying, Mm-hmm. Yeah. third years of charm, yeah, that you got playlist. A Spotify editorial playlist. Which like for every artist, that's like one of the meccas of getting on one of the official curated by Spotify. Spotify. What do you think was different? Was it just you think it really was your best song and that that was what did it? Or was there some other strategy that um yeah, usually so with Spotify, I don't know if you're familiar, with, you probably are, but those that aren't, you can pitch your song to the uh the editors. Um I did not pitch, I didn't like get the chance to even pitch this one.

Like, and if I had, like, they wouldn't have even seen it because they don't look at them once the song is out. Yep. Um, so if you do it far enough in advance, big gem. Yeah, if you do it far enough in advance, you can write this whole like yeah, pitch. Yeah, like a pit, like a little elevator pitch. Yeah, exactly. And so then they can maybe like maybe listen to your song and maybe put it on a playlist. Very rare still, unless you're like popping. Um which apparently you are. I hope, I hope so. Um, and so, but I didn't pitch this one, obviously. And I obviously really love the song, so I was like really hoping that it would be received well, and um it got put on like this little summer indie playlist first, and then but it like wasn't a Spotify one, and then so I was like, okay, that's cool. I was getting some streams off of that. And then like literally like two, three days later, Martin texted me and was like, holy shit. And I like it went and checked the Spotify for Artist app. Like I just felt it in my soul, and I was like, holy shit, like I just got playlisted. Not one, but two playlists.

So Fresh Finds and Fresh Finds Pop, and yeah, I cried. I'm so excited. Yeah, I literally just like started like sobbing. So your advice for getting on Spotify editorial playlist is to not pitch it to Spotify editorial playlists. Just pray and uh manifest. Yeah. Um, I literally, yeah, there it is. That's that Valdosta twang. Yeah. I do the country accent as a joke, and then like I was at this wedding this weekend and people were like, yeah, people were like, wow, like your southern accent really comes out when you're drinking. I'm like, guys, it's it's like part of my skit. Like it's part of like I'm just joking. It's part of the break. They didn't catch on. Exactly. Yeah, I'm like, come on, get with the joke. Um, but yeah, thank you guys so much. I am very excited that it got playlisted. Yeah, hopefully it gets on more. I've had it in constant rotation for sure. Thank you. Really, really dope record. Thank you. Kenny was also a really great addition. Was that something you heard almost like automatically when you were like not feeling your verse? Were you like, damn, this guy?

Yeah. Or did you have a few in mind? And yeah, it was just Kenny. Like, I literally sent him the song without even saying anything. Like, I wasn't like, I want you to get on the song. Like, I sent it to him kind of like nonchalant. I was like, here's this new song. Like, I think you would like really like the sound. Like, I was just saying, like, you would like the song. It's like a test. Yeah. And then literally within like five minutes, he had already sent it to his manager, who then contacted my manager because his manager does video work too. And he contacted my manager and was like, bro, does she need a video for this? Like, this is amazing. And then Martin was like, Whoa, this is moving very quickly. Um, and so then I once I saw that Kenny liked it so much. I was like, I honestly, if you want to get on the song, you can. Like, I don't love my second verse. So, and then he killed it. And he was like, This isn't actually a song that he was saying, like, like hearing it, he wasn't like, Wow, I could kill this, but he was like the fact that you like pushed me out of my comfort zone to get on something like that was like that's cool. He really appreciated it and he did an amazing job. So that's awesome. Shout out Kenny can fly. Shout out, shout him out. So you mentioned Wiley from Atlanta on the show at the Masquerade. He was also a part of Grips latest album.

Oh, Grip. I died for this. Yeah. Question mark exclamation point, exclamation point question. mark. Shout out Grip too. Yep, so big shout out. So you ended up being a part of that uh latest project. For those that don't know, Grip is the newest uh signee to Shady Records with big Eminem. And he doesn't sign anybody, yeah. I think they have like Westside Boogie and Grip. Yeah, and and so this is his you know debut project as part of Shady Records. Wiley from Atlanta was on track two, maybe one of the tracks. In fact, You ended up getting uh, I guess approached to do background vocals for Mama Told Me, which also just dropped the video for that, which was amazing. I love our guy Stray Anthony was in that one. Love Stray. Guest guest featured. Shout out Stray. Yeah. So how did they even come about? How did the record happen? So actually, so I don't know if you know Beauregard. He's also a big homie of mine.

He he and I had a song together or have a song together called Je Ne Sais Pas. And um, yeah, um, and we recorded uh like video for it that was then like it was like in some collaboration with triller. So then this triller video kind of blew up, it went like over a million views, and Grip saw that video um through just like it circulating like on Instagram and stuff, and so then he followed me and DM'd me, and he was like just giving credit where it's due, like you're really dope. Um shout out Grip, yeah, Yeah. That's a big, That's a big homie. I know. It's just like wow. Like I was like looking at my phone, I was like, Grip, like B grip. I was like, Did you mean to DM me? Like was this an accident? Yeah, um, but yeah, he super talented. He um then was also like he was obviously working on this album. Yeah, he um asked me to pull up to a couple sessions, so I'm actually singing on patterns too, which is like, yeah. So that one. I'm on like the hook of that one, and then mama told me.

Um love both of those records, and the whole project is insane. So so yeah, he's playing a show Thursday. I'm gonna go, yeah. I gotta gotta go. At Aisle Five. Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna sing the vocals like from the crowd. Oh. Well, now I might go. I'll I'll be there. All right. Um, but yeah, so can I sing along with you? Yeah, of course. Okay, cool. Yeah, okay. Thanks. Thanks, Henry. Um, but yeah, so he super big honor to get approached by him. at all. And uh, even bigger honor for him to want me on his project and trust me to do the vocals and yeah, not one, yeah, two songs, but two. I didn't even know about the pattern. I'm singing on patterns too, yeah. Yeah, I must not have uh that was the first session I pulled up too. and then he invited me to like his home studio to do Mama Told Me, and he was like, just do like your Amelia thing, and like because he like has heard obviously like my style and my stuff, and so he like knew that I like to do like those airy kind of like background vocals, and uh so I think I we knocked it out in like one take, and he was like, damn, he's like, You didn't need it need no tea or anything. That's funny. We just talked. Um his homie two, two Hayes. Two shout out, two

I love Too. Yo, uh, too. He is the coolest. When I first saw two, I was like, he has to be security, which he's already gotten. He did an interview with the guy from or with the guys from Rap Portraits. I don't know if you've seen Rap Portraits. Oh, yeah, yeah. Um they're killing it. Yeah, did a a whole thing with, you know, with Grip and two. Yeah, and um, you know, he got the whole thing of like how he always gets the he's the security guard. It's like, no, I'm actually the producer, I just am fucking giant. Yeah. Couldn't end your life with one flick. Yeah, him and Grip pulled up to the masquerade show, actually. And uh and he was like, Amelia, he was like, I love your merch, but like you ain't got my size. Yeah, sorry, we don't have five X too. Yeah, I was like, all right. I was like, I'll order one specifically for you. How many do you need of those sizes? One. It's for a guy named Two. Yeah, yeah. That's hilarious. I love Too. Yeah, they're great.

They're really good people. I'm excited to work with them some more, and maybe Grip will end up on an Amelia project one day. We'd love to hear it. We'll get the we'll bounce back and forth. Did you work with Oliver Blue at all? I have worked with him. Yeah. So he so he was the main one. He's someone I want to link you with as well. He's really, really, really talented. I'm Very interested in Oliver. Yeah. Yeah. Oliver is like the old school like talent, like on some like Mike Dean or like some like those like really talented, like Swedish producers or something. Like that's what he reminds me of, like with his work. Um, but yeah, he's super super cool, super humble. Um, he was like the main producer on the project, so I met through like working with grip. Yeah, because uh Wara from the neighborhood now just Wara, but he you know, he and Henry go way back, and Wara has been working a lot with Oliver. Um, and I actually I think they share the same manager, Larry. Yep. Um, yep. So so yeah, definitely need to get you locked in with Oliver. That's cool that you were also in there.

So, you know, you've you've got solo cup out now. You're obviously on the grip project. What else can we can we look forward to coming up? Um, well, I'm still putting out one song per month. That's been like my 2021 campaign. Can we just let's okay, because we haven't had it one more time run it back yet? Well, we've had plenty. You've just been slacking. Too fucking slow. On the one more time podcast. Sometimes he forgets his job when we feel like an artist has dropped a gem. We ask that they just say that thing one more time because that's a very important thing. I don't think artists understand. One more time. You were doing what what exactly? 12 songs, 12 months, all 2021. Yes. Put music out. Yeah, put music out. Just put out a song. Come on. You're a musician. It feels good. Come on, man. It is click click click. Put it out. You don't have to print, you don't have to press CDs. La-di-da-di-da. you don't have to fuck, yeah. Do your job. Click, click, do your job. Do your job. So are are you on track? Have you done nine songs? Yeah, I'm completely on track. Are about to be nine songs with the September release. Yeah, one coming out September. Um, I'm probably gonna do I I have like this really like dope, like emotional, like a song that I've been like waiting to put out like for winter because I try to like match it with like the season.

It'd be weird to put it out in summer. Like it's not even really summer. Bring people down. But yeah, exactly. People get sad in the summer too though. You're right. I do. Maybe that's an untapped market. I think I get happier in the fall and winter because it's raining more. see. So we call you a psychopath. Yeah, but that's okay. Um but yeah, so I think October, I'll probably put out something still like upbeat, and then November will be like my sad song. December will probably be like a just end of the year, like wrap-up kind of song. Um, but I've made most of them as of like I made a shit ton of songs in January in LA. Like I locked in for like a month out there and really just recorded like everything that I've put out, like minus a few like solo cup, which kind of just came in the middle of the year. But batch create, that's Ben's favorite. God, I love a good batch creation process. Yeah, honestly, because and I think because I was with music, I won't even say that you have to do that. Because I'm not gonna be the one that says like sit down and be inspired, be super creative, be inspired now. When it happens, it happens, and you should definitely take advantage of it.

But like for things that are a little more tactical, like content creation, and like for me, I do like for us to try and when we can batch record or batch edit, like things that are a little more like tactical and you know, less like you know spur of the moment creative. Yeah, exactly. So like I'm I'm not the type that's gonna like force you to sit in a room and like make 10 songs today. But like, he would. If I could, I would. I feel like my management was just that they could do that too. And I'm like, guys, it's not how it works. Yeah, thank you. Other things, like when it comes to the business side of things, I think that yeah, I just think it's a lot easier to just sit down, crank something out for you know, X amount of hours or whatever in a day or in a week or whatever, and kind of you know, do that. Yeah, and I was just like talking to someone about like kind of when it's like a new year for some reason. Like I feel like I am just like kind of like setting the tone for the whole year. And so I kind of like had this whole theme of like what I was making at the time, what I was writing about, um, and kind of just went with that and made like a ton of songs, like made like like almost 40 songs at the beginning of the year. Yeah, um, yeah, me and Mile too.

So you're set for like what is that like three and a half years now? Or one a month? Um I might try to sell a few, like the ones that I don't like think that I would put out. Like, I would definitely I definitely want to get more into like the songwriting, yeah. Songwriting, like selling and syncing. Like if any shows or movies wants to buy any of my songs, you can have any of them. Yeah, Amelia on the beat on Instagram. Yeah, yep. So that's what we can look forward to. Yes. Well, do you know what you can look forward to right now? Uh oh god, I'm scared. The rapid fire rampage, it's everyone's favorite podcast segment. Right, right, Henry, where are we at? I'm scared. How do I describe the rapid fire? Hang on. This is it's so intense. He needs to get to fit, yeah. Yeah, we could do an ASMR show with these mics, I feel like.
