Shout out Brian in the building.

Shout out, Brian. Brian in the building over there. What's up, gang? It's a fair suggestion. I'm not gonna lie, because it sounds a little formal. I don't know. It sounds like Jukebox father. He literally hit it on the head. How did you know? I went through the same thing with my name. Yeah. Something was taken, we had to find an alternative. Yeah, yeah. I'm actually probably I'll probably take that out very, very soon. You just gotta be the biggest jukebox. Man, my you can't have like a jukebox. It's more popping than you. That's what You can't. It can be. Or it won't work. We have to put a stop to that. For sure. So the way we discovered you, yeah, was we had Faye on the podcast. My brother Faye. Shout out Faye. Pretty sure Faye. We met him only like what? Probably like a couple months ago. Yeah. And he somehow made his way into Henry's Spotify uh rap number two of the year. Yo, he's so good, man. I'll repeat. That nigga's fire. Yeah. And so obviously you were featured on two songs. Two songs.

On bake sale. Yeah. Um, we did um Ati. Ati. And we did uh Change for Nothing. Yeah. Change for Nothing. Yeah. So I love those songs. Honestly, once we heard those records, I hit you up and I was like, yo, we gotta get you on the podcast because who is this guy? Who is this Mr. Jukebox? Dr. Jukebox. But nah, um, definitely, like I I I feel like uh I'm a Faye fan, you know. So yeah, how did that happen? How did that um it's literally almost the the the same story, but uh I think he had he told me actually um he just hit me on Instagram. He's like, yo, gotta love the internet, yeah. Classic. Like just uh something specific, you know. Uh hit me on Instagram and he just like, yo, uh, I fuck with your shit. Like, we should work. And I just said, that. just like that, bro. Bro, if the artist is dope, let's get it. Yeah. And Faye Period. is super dope. Yeah. Fuck. And obviously, Mr. Jukebox. y'all made some magic. Faiyaz is like a young Atlanta legend, man. Yeah.

Okay. That people don't that not enough people know that he's a legend yet, but he is. Soon enough. But man, I'm happy to be here though. We are happy to have you, man. We're we're looking forward to telling your story. So Mr. Jukebox. Doctor. Doctor. So you are the son of two diplomats. Do I have that correct? Well, yeah. Well, nah, it's it's one main diplomat. My mom is uh your mom is the head, the head honcho diplomat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's uh she's a Nigerian diplomat. Um my dad was in the military, so he kind of did something similar, like in that security style, but but yeah, it's mainly like one main diplomat. So so what is it like being the son of a diplomat? Like that sounds so official. I was so curious of like Prince Jukebox. Yeah. Wakanda for it now. what did that mean for you growing up? Like um, it was it was it was dope to experience it, more or less. I would say traveling, uh yeah. I assumed you moved around a lot, maybe definitely moved around a lot, but I was I kind of was in school when my my my mom was traveling as well, you know, with her job. So they call it like a tour, and they have to travel sometimes monthly.

So I went to boarding school. So I wasn't always enjoying all the travels, but I will say it had its perks, but she was gone, yeah. Come on, man. Sorry. mom. She's listening. Sorry, sorry, mom. I didn't mean Mama Jukebox. Mama jukebox. Mama Bucks. No, but um, but yeah, it was literally just it it was a fun experience. I will say I literally saw we got pulled over once, and she showed that diplomatic stuff, Yeah, it was good. and I was like the coolest thing to me ever. Was the family diamond was the family dynamic like very diplomatic? Like I don't know. It's it sounds like two pointed, but I'm just saying, was it like uh you mean like my family? Yeah, like are are you guys you know very diplomatic in how you deal with each other or not? No, the complete opposite. Really? Yeah. So she leaves that shit at work. What? Diplomatic dictator. Unfair. Yo, I think Yo, no, my mom, she's like a warrior.

She would go into any any any temperature. She would come in and check yours. Like, what's your temperature? That's like it. That's funny, man. So, but it did take you to at least a couple of places. So, you know, maybe you weren't going monthly on trips with her, right? But like Yeah, for sure. you moved as a result of her career, right? I was born in Nigeria. I went to school in Nigeria, I went to FGBC, right? Um I've totally heard of it. I'm a big FGBC, FGBC fan. It's in Abuja. It's like Oh, of course. Yeah, okay. You know, Abuja Abuja is like the the capital of Nigeria. Okay. Um, but what were what were we saying? No, so like moving around, like it took you to at least I actually left, yeah. So it took me to London uh for a little bit, and I have some family there, so anytime my parents would go, I would also go. But it also like I moved to Argentina from Nigeria. So I never So that's where you learn Spanish. Yes, bro.

Assumedly. Bro, never in my life would I have thought I would have like learned Spanish or spoken Spanish, so to speak, because it that was like the last thing on my mind. Yeah, you know, so uh, but her job, you know, called for it. And how long were you there? For like probably 10 months, I would say. Damn. Yeah, 10 months, something like that. Did you learn all of your initial Spanish there? Yeah. Or okay. Wow. Like I on the flight over. Because obviously, like I had this book called How to Spanish. No, exactly. It's Fucking Rosetta Stone here. But it it eventually takes you here, right? To Atlanta. Right. So her her career also brought you to Atlanta. When was that? That was like 2007, I would say. Yeah, 2007, 2008, I think. So yeah, so she she was in Argentina, and she's literally like, man, this Spanish stuff is a little too much for me. So she wasn't so she wasn't embracing it like you were. Yeah, no, she was like, Man, this I'm sure some other politics, you know, whatever.

But she request a transfer. She requested a transfer. And you know, I'm like, all right, cool. Let's go. That's interesting. So you end up, you know. Argentina's amazing, by the way. Yeah, I've heard. yeah. I love that. What'd you love so much about it? Like, uh number one, I love the steak. Really? They have some fire ass steak in Argentina. But I think I would tell him B like, we gotta go to some Argentinian restaurant. They got some. fire. Is it the way they cooked it? Like, why is it different? Bro, but it's the way they cook it. I want to make an Argentinian steak. How do I do it? I'm not sure your HelloFresh meals come with Argentinian steak. That's why I'm interested. Uber Eats don't got no... They'll give you this fire ass steak for like five bucks, and you just like, my goodness. That's just like everything in South America is cheap as fuck, though. I feel like because I went to Ecuador and fell in love with I've never been. That's fire. How was that? It was amazing, man. I yeah, I went for like a two-week volunteer trip and whatnot. And so, you know, getting to stay like on the coast and just like really soak up the culture, like with you know, super local people that had never really been, yeah, you know, influenced by like American culture like that, right? Like, you know, they see volunteers come and go, right?

But that was like super dope, like kind of getting embraced by people's families there. I mean, they were feeding us, and you know, we were eating like kings. and whatnot. that exchange rate was friendly, yeah. I bet A hundred percent. I bet. so you know, fast forward, you meet Fabio LaGarda. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out Fabio. I mean, I would say, you know, that was kind of like the beginning of your yeah, rest in peace to Fabio. For sure. Um, but I would say he was the crux of like you getting into music seriously. Is that yeah fair or were yeah, no? I think I think that's I I think that's fair. I've always wanted to do music, you know. I was doing little talent shows in Nigeria and stuff, but I was always doing drums and doing hooks. So random people would come in and rap and do stuff like that. So I always wanted to do music, but I think just the way God had the path destined is just sometimes when you pay attention, like if you're in tune, you'll see what's happening. And um, yeah, I think that's when when I came in, just coming from Argentina, and then one of the good friends that I make is someone someone that turns into family was Fabio, and he's Spanish and he does music.

And it was just like, especially some coming from someone who never thought they would learn Spanish. You know what I'm trying to say? Yeah, you would think maybe I I would I could be friends with a Nigerian or someone else, but someone that I really just gelled with was did you meet here in Atlanta? Yeah, I literally met him. Uh man, I met I met Fabio at a barbershop. So when I came here, y'all don't laugh. I literally took the coming to America formula. So I you Eddie Murphy did. I needed some, I needed some money and I was I couldn't, you know, I couldn't work. And uh like so I literally just went to the barbershop and said, hey, can I just sweep up and clean up? Wow. Um and you guys I heard this story and didn't believe it. No cap. It's true. Because someone else said that you guys met in high school, and I was like, that's not as funny as the barbershop story. No, it's yo, my my my mom um used to be she she used to say, like, where are you getting this money to buy this little candy and stuff you're buying? She's like, I hope you're not going. I'm like, nah, I'm like flipping dime bags.

It was so it was so innocent. She was sweeping hair, mom. She literally, she she she was like, that's crazy. But yeah, I used to walk there too. Um and so you would proceed to be like part of the Fabio team. Yeah, right. So so what kind of roles were you, you know, kind of taking on? Um, I mean, it was just it was just kind of like just two young people just making music because they love it. So we we it's more or less just about the music for me. I was more on the creative side, I was more on the business side, I was more on any side that just whatever we needed. If I just DJ side, uh uh uh performing with him, like anything that needed to be done. It was that kind of team. But you weren't an artist yet. No, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't me, yeah, so to speak, you know. So I was still finding that, and and I needed the that process and that and that time to just uh do whatever needed to be done, but it also just helped me learn how to do shit because you research it. You know, when you say when you instead of waiting for someone, you're researching like and that was Fabio, that was like Brian and uh my boy Josh.

That's just the type of time that we were. That was the main team, you know. And it was all about how do we get it done. You know, we can always have people come in and help, but hey, let's just research it and see what we can do without having to uh just wait around it as well as just a creative. But yeah, it was it was it was a special moment. But like, did you think that you were kind of soaking it in to become an artist? Was that in the back of your head? Or was it not really even that thought out? It wasn't it wasn't that thought out. Yeah, I think that's done. It just happened. You were just happy to happy to be around and be part of whatever was being. built. I think I I honestly, okay, so I think I I just fell into more of just yo, this is exciting, like the Spanish side of it as well, right? It's like, yo, this is kind of dope, like a Nigerian guy in the Spanish world, you know. Yeah, it was like it sounds like a TV show.

It's already something. to me, it's just like, oh, this is this is dope. And and being that I wasn't lost, right? So to speak, I could kind of understand what was going on. So it was just so intriguing for me that I and Fabio was like super talented and you know, became like a brother, and we became like family, you know, we're like with everyone on the team. So um I I wasn't really thinking nothing through. I was just like, yo, let's just make music. Like uh I was enjoying writing in Spanish, so we've been writing with him in Spanish and things like that. Yeah, because were all of his songs all Spanish? It wasn't well uh later on. He had like English songs, of course. Like he started out rapping. Oh, for real? Yeah, like he actually started out rapping and then went into like singing, but yeah, but it was like rapping, English, English, and then went into like the full Spanish Yeah, so I mean you guys were writing songs, yeah. Yes, you guys were writing a lot of songs together, and you even ended up having your own like songwriting duo. Yo, yeah, legendary group we don't know.

Yeah, yeah. Shout out the twins. The twins? The twins. Twins. The twins. The twins. Yo, We were the twins, but but we were also kind of like a triplet. Like Brian With Brian? Brian's in there? Yeah, he mixed and engineered all this everything. But twins, twins has such a better like ring to it than triplets. It'd be so hard to do. But the respect for including the engineer. No, no, no. As a part of the group. Woah. That's my dog. No. He was a he was he played a heavy part, man. He like literally he Brian, he taught me how to engineer. Oh, so you got it. So he's already like solidified in my my boat. So you don't even need him anymore. Are you still doing I don't know why he's here, but Yeah. nah. But yeah, the twins, bro. The twins, man, man, you is there any twins music we can still find on the internet somewhere? Um not not on the internet, but we have to. But like who are you guys writing for? We were we were just working with like uh Atlantic, different labels. Um we we uh we literally just trying to get placements. That was that was the name of the game, you know, like placements, how many how many songs can you place?

Yep. Um but did you know that side of music? Because the songwriting side is so like mythical to it's different, so many people, right? We learned on the go. Everyone claims they want to be like a songwriter, and then it's like, okay, how do you actually go about getting us? Like, so what were y'all doing? Like, how do you link up with Atlantic? You know I mean? Like, you know you know what's crazy is yo, I'm gonna tell this story because this sounds like we need this, we need it. Yeah, okay. So the audience needs it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you a funny thing. So during that time, like one of the things that I uh I was doing was I would just go online and I'm researching, and I'm just researching like different ARs with their emails or little shit like that. So I can I'm literally like. grunt work. He gets it. I'm staying up till 4am. I'm staying up till 5am and making lists. I can't really what? He got so good at Excel. Just like name, phone, email. It's on the resume. So you just threw that. And it was sometimes it was it was kind of like a hunt because you would find one name and you won't see the whole email. You gotta look for it.

Oh, it's like a it's a fucking rabbit hole, man. Uh but I I I used to do that, and then I would call. I would literally just like just Hi Atlantic, it's Mr. Jukebox. No, no, so so what happened is right. I'd Like to write some songs for your artists. This is Dr. Box. Dr. Box. I am that's funny. My guy said Dr. Box. No, no, no. So I literally that was actually funny. No, so I I I used to just call the office and I would say, like, uh this was with the twins. So I'm literally just going, uh, hey, yeah, this is da-da-da-da. I I'm trying I think I would say Josh one time. I would say, hey, this is Josh. Josh is my boy. Okay. So I this is like the I was usually. I thought he was making up names. Just harmless names. I would say like just Kenny. I would just say some shit. Brad. Brad. Brad. Hey, this is John. Yeah, John is a good one. They would totally take a call from Brad. And you know that a lot of times your assistants pick up. Yeah. And or sometimes the number wouldn't even work.

But I'm just doing this and I'm just trying it. And I would literally call and I would just try to like make up something just to get in the door. I just want him to check the email. Yeah. And at least listen and give it a shot and things like that. So I was trying that a lot of times. I heard no, I heard a lot of times, oh, you get a call, things like that. But um a few times it worked, and one of those times was uh in New York. I called and uh this this this, Lanre Gaba, she's like the Oh, she's like the head fucking She's like the head. honcho. She's like senior VP of AR now or something. Yes, like um and I got through and I was just talking, and I think funny enough, funny enough, this is kind of crazy. I just remember the moment because I was in a car with Fabio. And uh when I got the call back, like they called me back in that moment, and he explained like Lanre called you back. Yes, so that I I got through, right? And and I talked to the assistant, and I um this is like some little tricks. I did like some tricks So I went on Instagram and I'm I'm seeing like the last events they went to.

Yeah, oh you saw him there. I'm dropping some gems. I'm dropping some gems. Dude, this guy, this is a ho. It's great seeing you at the Met. I'm telling yo, Yesterday. yo, watch this. Oh, you know President Obama as well. That's my buddy. Yeah, you know Barry. I was golfing with Barry on Sunday. Oh man, Oh man. no, literally, so I I I I got through and um the assistant was like, I'm like, I'm like, yeah, this is da, da, da. I I managed the twins, you know. I spoke to Lanre. and you were a twin? Can you Right. You managed. yeah, I'm like, I managed the twins. Can you plug me in? And she's like, I'm sorry, who are you? I'm like, I met her at I can't remember, it was just an event that I just saw. I just met her there, and and uh we're supposed to be we're supposed to be uh talking. We're supposed to be A phone call about the twins. She told me to call. Like she told me to call. Oh my god, and the system was super nice. Bless her heart too. Like, she's super nice. She's like, she had no idea what hit her. She said, Hold, please. Yo, just the hold got me excited.

Yes, like okay, we'll consider this. It's like you're in the running still. So anyway, uh, but yeah, I I she came back and said, Hey, Lanre, da da da da. Can she call you back? I'm like, sure. Okay, yeah, let her call me back uh as soon as possible because I'm supposed to be whatever. Yeah, like I'm not, my time is my time is important, So she decides to do it and calls me back with Fab and we set up a meeting. Wow. It's wild. And so like you play some records and then she ends up actually putting you in rooms. So what happened? Funny enough, so she calls back and I'm still acting like the manager, and I tell them I sent her the pack, and she actually listens, and she's like really fucking with it. And um, so now this is she's in New York. Yeah. I don't live in New York, and at that time. You're in Atlanta, Yeah. in Atlanta, and I'm I think I was in school and I'm working and all that shit. So sweeping hair and man, something. And literally, uh, she was like, Yeah, can we meet?

She just gives me a date. And I'm like, oh shit, this is now real, real. This is not even uh through the phone. She actually wants to meet in person. In New York? In New York. So you gotta get a flight. So well, because he told her he met her at the Met Gala the other night. Come on now. So she assumes he's in New York. I'm already there. Oh, you live on the east side, right? So literally, I couldn't make it, of course. And I I told her that my my partner will meet her there. And this is probably the first time I've ever told this story. And you just have a homie in New York? Yeah, no, so one of the four main people One of the quadruplets? he's from New York. Okay. So he was there. So, and you know, he's like business savvy. So uh, and he he already knows everything going on in the team. So it just worked out I'm like, yo, bro, I told her you're my partner. Can you go in that meeting? And I told her I couldn't make it. That's so wild on so many levels. Like, I literally First of all, he's too busy to meet with her. Oh god. Power move. Second of all, I got a partner. So like there's plenty of people involved in this act called the twins.

Bro, this is crazy. So you they just look like the shit. This is one of the best stories we've had on this podcast. Just to just to get in the door. Just to get in the door. So he goes. Yeah, so he goes, the meeting goes great. He killed, shout out Josh. Yeah, he just shout out. Shout out to Josh, man. My brother. Josh. Suits up and just wines and dines, Lanre. Like he killed it. Uh he's actually, he was actually like a DJ too, DJ ET. Like he killed it, and it kind of like made me so happy because it was just like when the plan just works out. Yo, it's beautiful. So perfectly. What? It's making me, I'm like, yeah, get to it, bitch. Man, I'm not even kidding. When the plan just works out, you just and now, and now the funny thing is they click so well so he can maintain the relationship as well. So it was like now he was our voice whenever we sent something. Into Atlantic. It was just it just worked out. I love that it almost wasn't a plan, though. There was so much improvisation. It was definitely improvisation, but it was just kind of what I mean is how like the meeting part is what like wait, where did she want to meet me? Oh, this she wants to meet again.

Uh like you know what? It's just I wasn't ready for that. part. That was your goal. It was like that's what you were you were clearly doing the research, smiling and dialing to do to get to this point, and you almost don't believe it's ever gonna happen. because you got so many no's and so many hangups. and yeah, we'll call you, fuck you, we're not calling. Yeah, wait, that worked to then holy shit. Josh is meeting with Lon Ray. It was it was it was kind of it was kind of special. Beautiful. I'm not even gonna lie. It was it was crazy. So part of you know, you getting your your like I guess production chops and you know, some of your songwriting, even yeah, was through the Justice League? Was that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Justice League, man. Shout out to the Justice League, what? What? They are legends. Yeah, Of course, Man, shout out to the Justice League. If you guys see this, man, I love you guys. Those guys are. Justice League. Yo, we'd love to have all of you on the podcast. Man, for sure. For sure. I'm going to try to tap in and see how we can make that happen. Tap, tap, tap. We would appreciate it. Because tell us the bank story. Tapping in with the Justice League.

Wow. Tell us like how this Justice League connection happens. Yo, So I used to see the Justice League. I used to see them come in. Where though? Studio? Bank. Yeah, Bank of America. He was working at the bank. I was working at the bank. My bad. Oh wow. for those that don't know his past careers, he was working at the bank. So I was a banker. Yeah. Right. Wow. There's a whole nother portion. I was at Bank of America. Like, hello, hi. Hi, I'm Mr. Jukebox. I'm Mr. Jukebox. Would you like to open a business checking account today? Oh, God, too. I have a seat. I have a seat right here. Probably a great salesman. I tried. I tried. Yeah. But uh so they come in. To the bank. Yeah, so they used to come in often. To do their banking. Just to do business. Just here in Atlanta. Yeah, this is like uh uh it was a it was a bank in Alpharetta. Okay, so my you know, my nosy ass, I I think I don't even know what what how I found out. I think maybe one time I was a teller that helped them because I was also I started as a teller and then became uh went into banking. So they used to come in and they would just do regular transactions, and I'm like, but at that moment I you know it was heavy with Fabio, yeah, and Fabio is like more in Spanish and a different style of music, yeah.

So uh that was the biggest thing was man, how do I take advantage of this opportunity um at the right time? Because they've been coming in a few times, and I've just been like, you know, building with them and just like just yeah, just tapping in with them. But I also know it wasn't a thing of immediately, because when I first met them, we had we didn't have the catalog of writing, yeah, yet. It was still more like just uh, but I wanted to bring bring in the uh Fabio thing, just you know, how can we get together? And uh they just kept coming in. I would keep on like trying to connect with them, give them information. I'll give them, I think I've gave them like the you I wrote so many times. I wrote YouTube stuff so many times, I'm like, yeah, check it out. They're like, they're gonna check it out. And then and they've told me this. They're like, man, I threw that shit away. But something worked. They're just trying to cash their checks. bro. I mean... There was three main ones. It was, you know, there was three main ones, and it was like, you know, Coley, Kenny, and Rook. Um, and I used to see them coming at different times.

And I'm like, damn, one of these guys gotta give me a shot. Just have let's just pull up, like me, you know, Fabio, the twins, let's just pull up and write something, or just something. Like, we just need the opportunity, yeah. And I just kept nagging it. And each time they would say they would listen, they never listen, I would see them again, They would say what's up. And then one time, uh, Coley, and I will forever, like, forever appreciate that because I really do believe that was a monumental part in um in a lot, almost, you know, in a lot because yeah, it's one of those moments you look back on, and you're like, that was when really the machine started Shit kind of started going. You just started like that. It's kind of like okay, yo, and this especially in the writing world or like learning shit, you just got in. Yeah, like you now you just gotta soak in game and just really pay attention and learn. Um, but so he came in the bank, like yo, I checked you out. No, he came in the bank, and I just like because I've been like you know, haggling them, and and this particular day, he was like, Man, you you just ain't gonna stop. You're like, not, not letting me fire me. But,

Like, yo, you always do this shit. And but I I do it in the most respectful way, because I would imagine being a guy, I don't want anybody to you or even any client to say, yo, I don't want to go there because that dude will be there. Kill him with kindness. So I always did it respectfully, of course. But he was like, you know what? What time do you get off? I was like, I think I said like uh like six or seven. He's like, I come through after. Yeah. I'm like, bro. I mean, you're not gonna give me like some time to go change. He's like, no, just come through after, that's your shot. Bro, and literally I remember show up to the studio just how I was dressed, suited up in his bank teller outfit. This bank spank teller outfit. My tie and my shit. Just I'm like, yo, this is not this is not the mood. That's amazing. Um, but yeah, we we did what we had to do, man. Yeah, seriously. I mean, wow. Fucking shout out to professional persistence because to your point, yeah, you were persistent, but you weren't annoying. You clearly were going about it in a way that like you you have to, man. Like, you have to, man.

My biggest thing is is is it's all about your mind control. It's funny, but it's it's you can control how like if you just take away the ego, you you're winning, you will win because your ego is that thing that is that voice that tells you, ah, just chill or whatever. But like the the worst thing that can happen doesn't even hurt your skin, right? It doesn't even hurt your any, it doesn't give you real pain. It just hurts your bullshit ego, your ego. Yeah. There's nothing wrong with shooting a shot. It's just someone saying no or ignoring you or whatever. Like, it's the same shit. Like people are afraid of that. Man, it's just like you Even with girls, like, you know how people or whatever, just like yo, you just go for it, just say hello, go. say what's up. Like, what there's nothing that can go wrong if the person says I'll listen or they'll say no, or you just catch them on that one day. Right. Or they're feeling in the mood for, I mean, right. That's man, yeah. That's that's, that's big. Big advice. So I really believe in that heavily, and um I I was grateful that yeah, uh, they gave us the opportunity. To me, the regret of never trying is always worse than trying and failing.

Man. Every time. Like when you talk to like senior citizens, you know, elderly people. Yeah. And you ask them like stuff they regret. That was such a polite way. to say old-ass motherfuckers. That was smooth, bro. Yeah. I respect the elderly because I'm learning from them. All of our old guests out there are uh our our old viewers are like, man, he really played that. Shout out to the elderly. They're valuable to like talk to and learn from. They regret shit. They regret shit. That is a trap. And I don't want to regret nothing. I love that those conversations. It's like, oh, I I asked her out, and she said no. Whatever. Or it's like, damn, I never asked her out. You know, like what would have happened? That's gonna eat at you and you're just gonna hate yourself. Fabio ends up signing to Sony Columbia. Yes, and then and you guys actually go down to Colombia together for we said fuck it. An extended, I mean, like what, six months or so? Yeah, I was there for I mean, he stayed, I mean, he lived there. Yeah, but uh but yeah, I was yeah, I was there for like six months. Um I went to so the the Sony thing happened, um, and literally I just packed up and and said fuck it. So fuck it. that's good enough sign for me.

Yeah, I said fuck it, I'm out of here. And so were you going with the intention of like continuing to just work on music down there with him? Yeah, that was the that was the only that was the main purpose. Yeah, um, it was just music. And but I think right before I started going, I had a really like because we had been writing a lot through the twins. The twins kind of just helped me like test different vibes of music, yeah. And it helps you just dabble and see what you're as you as you're kind of finding your way. You gotta try everything before you decide what you're doing. How do you know what you want to do? before you try? I wrote a country song. I never thought I could write a country song. I love that. I gotta try one of my favorite songs still today is like a country song that I wrote. Crazy. And it's just literally dabbling into these different worlds. And then right at right before I like traveled, I had started just getting into that world. So when I was in Colombia, plus the vibes I was feeling, it was just like, man. And everything that was happening for us at that moment was amazing. Yeah. I was I was hype. And so was it down there that you had like an aha moment of like wanting to be your own artist? Yeah, it was kind of where that yeah, it was it was kind of part of that.

So when I when I had first moved, we moved for the the Fabio situation. Yeah. But it was kind of also like a double, because it was like the Fabio situation, but then my shit. But I don't think, honestly, I don't think I I was able to predict kind of like that that that jukebox side, really just like, yo, I'm I'm ready. I was steady just you know in that mind state of creating music more like that style, you know. So it just kept like popping and popping, and and I was just like, oh no, I need to, I need to really tap in. Yeah, so what was the transition like though? How did it happen? Yeah, yeah, because obviously, you know, you had been in music for a while at that point, you know, whether it was doing the fucking talent shows or just writing for the twin stuff or with Fabio, right? Like, what was the transition like? Like first getting starting to like write for yourself, record for yourself with the thought that like this is my music now, like this is my shit. Yeah, I I I I think and that's kind of what I meant of how things just kind of, you know, the story writes itself.

That's why we, you know, we always think we have control, but your story is just writing itself based on decisions you make, you know? And um, I look at it from that perspective from now, and I can think back, just realizing that the times I was learning how to engineer, who knew that's really because that really helped me perfect my writing. Yeah, I was able to record myself and really play around and you're already engineering, you're already writing. It's like just It's singing that shit. And now you're able to make your own mistakes and do all of that shit and go through, and and I wouldn't be able to do that if I didn't really know how to do that, at least for me, my perspective. So uh all that just leading in, the transition was crazy because here I am. I was doing more like reggaeton, you know, what I mean, that type of music, and I'm still so no, even though the artist had this coming out, I'm still trying to figure out what sound because you know the sound evolves, as you know, it's just it's evolving like from month to month sometimes. And I was trying to find this like my shit, and Colombia was still hitting, but I'm like, man, I need to cut I need to separate.

I need to come back to Atlanta and just like figure this shit out and really kind of like just it's almost like you're resetting your mind real quick so that you can know, All right, this is this is kind of where I'm this is what I want to do, and then everything else is gonna come around that. You're rebooting, but you got a you got a new operating system. Exactly. You gotta update. Because me and Fab were still writing and shit like that, but now it's like I was literally just like, I'm like, yo, what am I gonna do next? My jukebox shit. How do I do this? How do I do that? Yeah, so like your early stuff though, was it primarily like reggaeton and like kind of Latin American influence? Or was it also like you know, Afrobeats, influenced? It was actually it was Afrobeat influenced, right? But it was more like Latin, also it was so more Latin music. I love Latin music, yeah. Yeah, me too. man. I love that shit. That was part of that. Was also another thing I loved about Ecuador was just yeah, riding the fucking bus. You would just be listening to just dancing on the bus. Incredible music where it's like I wish you know buses in America had like just like because they would literally be like blasting music on the bus. Yo, you know what's so funny? I love that. And that was so, now that you say that, I'm just thinking like, you, I think buses have like, sometimes they'll have like jazz or something like that. Do they?

I don't even know they got like some some bumping reggaeton. Yeah, the hard shit. Yeah, nah, but um, yeah, I I was doing more like reggaeton, more like you know, Latin dance hall, shit like that. Yeah, I was definitely in that pocket because that was the the mode or the zone that I was in. Yeah, so uh and I always love incorporating Latin, you know, textures in my in my cloth, my music, you know. Yeah, so I mean you end up diving pretty deep into the like Latin American world, yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, first and foremost, the relationship that you built, I guess, with Mr. Pig. Mr. Pig, shout out to Mr. Pig. Shout out Mr. Pig. Mr. Pig, if you're ever in Atlanta, tell me that you have a podcast, my guy. Say less. My friend Arguello um introduced me to him. Okay, and I think he just I think he showed him a song that we did together, and he was just like, yo, I need to tap in. I need that guy. Yeah, so Mr. Pig just he just hit me up and and and I just automatic already. He's he's like huge out there too.

And oh yeah, EDM. I mean, for those that don't know, because I admittedly didn't know who he was. Yeah, this guy got, you know, multi-million monthly listeners on Spotify, fucking huge name. He's killing it, man. But but he's in he's like a DJ producer kind of character, right? Like it's like you know, it's kind of like EDM and yeah, exactly. But yeah, he's more like EDM. So he loves like vocalists like you, yes, yes, to get on on records. So that's why I think it works so well. It was it was it was it was a perfect combo, and literally, he sent me like I think two or three records, and one of the first songs we made was this song called Options. Yeah, and it was like uh is that your highest streamed song today? My biggest song today, yeah. Shout out to Options. That song's great. Yeah, I like the little stuff. I'm with the sound effects. I wish your guests could hear what I'm going crazy with the sound effects. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Options, man. Options. That that record, that record definitely was another kind of major mark in just music, especially in EDM or in that world, so per se, you know, EDM pop. So that was another like when when that song started taking off, so to speak, I was just like Did you have it?

Did you have that high of hopes for it? Like, did you think it was gonna go just because of what he was doing? I had high hopes just because I loved the song. I was just like, yo, this song is like hard. This song is fire, yeah. But I didn't know like it would it, like it would kind of be uh received in that way in that fashion. Yeah, so because the song was like popping in Monterey, they had it on the radio, yeah. It's crazy, you know, and all that. So like that on the regular radio. So um I didn't really have no hopes for it. I ain't gonna lie, like you just make music because you like your list is fire, your vibe is cool. Let's just make some cool music. Yeah, that's it. So he ends up taking you on tour though around Mexico, right? For like a month, crazy or so. That was my that was my first that was bro, what like crazy. That was like my first that had to have been insane. That was insane, man. There's stories I can't even, I'll tell y'all off camera. Yeah, please. Mexico was amazing. That was like my first actual tour. Um, like in general, right? In general, no, no No. Yeah, Because you were still very new into your artistry, so when would you have been I just started my artistry shit? So it's just nuts that you had a song go like pretty crazy so early on, and I think that was the that was the main thing of how I I started just thinking like yo, you just go with the experience that is happening, you know what I mean?

Cause at that point, you know, I was still trying to find my sound, but this like I was able to do different sounds. I was able to, it's kind of like with the jukebox name, you know. It's like I love EDM pop music, I love like you know, house music, I love older types of music. So when that shit just happened, and I'm like, yo, this kind of this kind of fire. So does that influence you? Like if one song pops off, do you go more into that direction? Before, yeah, before I used to be that way. Cause I was just like, yo, if the EDM is like showing me love, I'm gonna just tap into that. Yeah, because that was like the first domino that fell. Boom. Options, right? Because from then on, you you ended up doing a bunch of yeah, I did like another one with Cold Water that kind of like went viral, I think on SoundCloud. Like uh like a half a mil. I think in like honestly, probably like two weeks. Yeah, so I was like, oh shit, this is so this is my lane. This is kind of like is that what you were thinking? In my mind, it's kind of like this is the lane that people fuck with this lane, but also you know, you gotta just pay attention to like the genre that the person is in. Yeah, that's part of the finding your sound.

It's like okay, Mr. Pig is in that genre, so it could work for that genre, but is that the genre you want to like really make your like your music for type of shit, you know. So was it hard though, kind of stepping away from the stuff that seemed to be working? Cause in my mind, that would be so hard, right? You're like, yeah, you just made a couple of big records. It was, it was from me. I'm like, Do more keep it going, you know. So was it tough like acknowledging that that maybe isn't the long-term that tool strategy? But it wasn't. I think when I started really realizing more was when I performed the songs. So I like performing option, but it was not the same feeling when I performed like some other songs. So I I started learning, like, oh, okay. Like that tells me something. So that's why the new shit that I got coming, like I'm super excited about too. Like it's about to be like super super wavy. Yeah. So how would you say your sound has evolved? You talk about like it's a constant evolution.

So from from those kind of big records that were in the like EDM world, right? EDM uh How did you pivot and kind of how would you describe like what your sound has become, you know, sitting here today? I think it just kind of morphed into uh more of like my roots, you know. Just you know, I'm like being Nigerian, being Igbo, like Igbo boy, like like it's not it's like I speak my dialect uh every day. so it's more or less I had to go back into that core and and start shooting from there, right? Because sometimes, and I and this is my advice to just anyone, is sometimes you're you're you're reacting, and instead of reacting, you want to uh you know, like be at the actual source, You want to be proactive, proactive, not reactive. So it's like not just I'm not even saying reacting, but it's just as time goes, you're going with the wave because it's like yo, the number you're showing numbers and all that stuff. You wanna be ahead of the wave.

But I had to learn, you know, at that point, it's just like I had to really learn how to uh just oh shit. Overall, I'm listening to Afrobeat every time, you know. I'm listening to Afro music like 2Face. I don't know if you like. Yeah, I was gonna say who are some of your favorites. Man, Two Face is like my that's like the first name. 2Face, 2Baba? Woo! I did my research, bro. Give him give him another. I was like, damn. Nah, 2Baba, man. 2Face, he's a legend in Nigeria and in Africa in general. Um, and that was like one of I remember that I think that's like one of the first CDs actually, you know, like yeah, because he's been around a while. Yeah, he's not like the new kid. He was already crazy when I was a kid, but yeah. Um, but still, he was 2Face, P-Square, Don Jazzy, Fela Kuti, I definitely like uh, you know, Fela, you know, Fela is like an African legend. Um, but all these people are legends. Uh so are are all these people that were already around when you were growing up in Nigeria? Yeah, these were people who are already kind of like making some making noise, making some waves Yeah. 2Face was definitely.

Who are some of your newest? Oh man, in Afrobeat. Yeah, in Afrobeat. Afrobeat, like there's a lot of dope ass artists. Like right now, Afrobeat is it's it's the fastest growing genre, right? Yeah, it's we're taking nobody's world, though. Yeah, Yeah, so who are some of, Yeah, who are some of the ones you listen to? there's so many dope artists, man. There's like Omale, I don't know if you know Omale. Um he's really dope. Yeah, Kelechi just I think did some shows with Omale, yeah. I think I definitely remember that. I remember that. That was crazy too. Um, and yeah, Omale is dope, Rema is dope. Uh Joey Boy, Fireboy. Yeah, there's so many dope artists, man. It's right now it's so exciting. Like, I'm so excited for this chapter, right? You know, and and and yeah, it's it's gonna be the next 10 years are gonna be crazy. Yeah, musically. Yeah, so you have all singles though, yeah. You have no projects, no projects.

Tell us. I mean, you've been an artist for four years now, almost five, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell us the thought process around no projects. Why have you done it that way? For me, I sometimes I think that's the part of paying attention to just what what people are digesting, you know. Some people just listen to they just want to hear new song after new song. You know, the playlist, we're in a playlist era. Man, I could drop a song today, and somebody would just asked me, so when's the next song? Yeah, you know, and and you can even like sometimes the people will drop like quick EPs, and someone's like, Yo, when's the next EP? But next year, first quarter, I will drop a project. First quarter. That was my next question. First quarter. Is that a One More Time exclusive? You heard it here first. That is actually a One More Time exclusive. One More Time. I've been working on a project. One more time. How long have you been working on it? Honestly, probably four years. Nah, nah, because we we actually since Columbia in 2016. Since actually 2004.

No, no, no, no. Since he was born. Back in buttons in Nigeria. Back in Nigeria. when I was 10. I had this idea. Yeah, I had this little drum set. It was called. No, no, no. Um, but yo, y'all are stupid. I love it. No, But um, we actually was supposed to, we were going to, like we were working on something this year. Um, but just I I think I went through a musical change, honestly. I think I went through a musical transition. That's what I would call it. I was transitioning into this phase right now that I'm so excited to show people and for people to hear and people to like dive into because it's about to be a wave of music that um they will be experiencing at the same time that I'm experiencing it, you know. That's the exciting part for me. So but is it still gonna have like Latin American influence? Yeah. Always, always, always. I always throw Spanish in my songs, you know. you know.

I sing, yeah, I throw pigeon, like Nigerian pigeon, but then you know, English, of course, and then Spanish in there. Like, so it's gonna have anything that you know jukebox for is going to have that. Because I used to be in this battle, right? Like of left or right, so to speak. Like, imagine a Nigerian kid who's also tapped into this Latin culture, but has a Nigerian background with family, who's who I talk to on the daily as well. And Atlanta. And I'm in a Atlanta. Like, don't forget where we're sitting today. I'm literally, like, all, you know, so. I think I've heard all three of those come out in the last, in the music. Well, Angel's hanging out like off camera. It was like, I'm like, who is this guy? It's Literally, like those three are things are what that is what makes it. Yeah, and that's unique. And that's a brand, That's cool. That's literally my and just tapping in, going into those different worlds, and I literally feel at home and anywhere I am. But it's just, you know, it's part of like that blessing of uh with my mom's diplomatic shit, and and it just kind of helped and and formulate. But uh that definitely influenced the music a lot, is because through that finding a sound, you're in Atlanta, and you dive into Latin, but then that like I said, you kind of like I came back to like Nigeria, the core shit.

Yeah, and then from there I'm just gonna shoot. How good does it feel like making that music right now? Amazing. Amazing. It's got to. I feel like I'm in the best place I've ever been, mentally, musically, just uh creatively. We've like, like we've made so many dope records, but the exciting shit is like I'm so excited each time I do a new record as well, you know, because that's like, oh man, I literally yo, you know how this shit is as a producer, it's like sometimes you're just in that pocket that you just like, man. I can't wait to I can't wait to touch this record. Do you get nervous like that? Some you might have gained some fans from one kind of sound that might not like this other kind of sound, especially now that you're doing a project, because making a project is a whole different mind of creativity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? And you have people that it might be expecting certain things. I'm not I used to be nervous, man. I'm not even gonna cap. I used to be a little nervous, but once you once I learn the actual detail of music, uh meaning, I'm sure you guys have artists that you actually know about, but you haven't heard about them in a while, and probably in your mind you might be like, oh, they fell off, but they're still killing tours. And they're like killing their own, because they created a community that fuck with them, right?

So I've learned that it's not about like chasing it, it's about just being you in the art and what will stick will stick. Like the ones who fuck with it just throughout the transitions will be like, yo, I'm a fan of that. You know, and the ones who don't. you're gonna attract the people that you want. Because that's just how it goes, including myself. See, we talk about this a lot, man. There's artists that I listen to, and I'm like, I don't listen to them right now, but I respect that they're killing it. Because I've learned that, nah, they just built their own world. They carved out their own shit. So even if you're not. the uh thousand super fans idea, right? Where it's like if you build this like cult community around, I mean, yeah, I see the engagement on some of these artists that I've never heard of, yeah, my friends haven't heard of, whatever. And I'm like, holy shit, like this guy's streaming out the fucking ass. His, you know, Instagram is popping off engagement, like comments-wise. I'm not even saying they have millions of followers. Just the ratio of like they're cult fans. Like, those are the people you need to really, really ride with.

That's the most important thing that even like, you know, I had to, I had to really learn and how to tap into it. Just like, okay, shit. Because it's not, it's not about chasing the new fan. It's it's about just continuing to nurture what you currently have. Converting your fans into super fans. Yeah, it's it's it's just underrated. Yeah, real talk. We have reached a final segment of the One More Time podcast. Oh shit. Oh boy. Buckle up, Mr. Dr. Box. Oh shit. This is this is dangerous, man. Everyone's favorite.

Part one of the rapid fire rampage. You made it through the short answers. It's gonna get a little rapid. It gives you something to work up to. You know what I'm saying? So yeah. You gotta make sure it keeps working. We're moving on to the this or that. So I'm just gonna give you two choices. You're gonna pick the one that stands out to you. Okay. Simple as that. Let's get it. This or that. Rampage! Lyrics or melody. Melody. Ketchup or ranch.

Ooh. Ranch. Love or loyalty. Loyalty. Afrobeats? Latin beats. Afrobeats. I love both, but Afrobeats. Netflix or YouTube? YouTube. Netflix. Yeah, YouTube.

I'm like, that sounds horrible. I'm not really. No. No, I used to, I used to like catch

pigeons. Oh god. Yeah, little pigeons. Yeah, but it was like self-made. I would literally just set a little trap and they'll catch and just you caught your own pet pigeons. And then you roasted them. No, no, no. Can't make this shit up. And I used to want to catch like a white one, and I did. Like a white, all white pigeon anyway. Okay. Yeah. Okay. This is one of my favorites right here. Okay. A 99% chance of winning 100,000, or a 50-50 chance of winning 100 million dollars. A 99. Yo. And we're talking, we're giving you the cash right now. 99% chance you get 100 racks. Right. Or 50-50 on 100 mil. Damn. We're assessing risk profile. That's crazy. Yo, you know, these are the type of questions I love to ask like my friends. Well now we're asking them to you. Yo,

This is crazy. It's what we do on the podcast. Yo, 99% and 100,000 and 50-50. On a hundred M's. On a hundred M's. I'll say the 50. I'll go with the 50-50 because I feel like I can I can make the dice. I'm gonna roll the dice on that shit. My man. That's that's my shit. You don't need 100 grand? Yeah. Like, no, I mean, but I'm saying you could you could work to earn a hundred grand. You can. 100 million sometimes is a lot. That's you know, it's like a privilege. There's generational shit, and then so if you're gonna go, you're just gonna go go all the way. Like, fuck it. Let's see what happens, you know. I understand. Yeah. Hard drive or cloud storage? Cloud storage. Pizza or Chinese. Chinese. I'm not really the biggest pizza guy. Not a pizza guy. Yeah, I love pizza, but Chinese. I pick Chinese as well. That's a good answer. Ninjas or pirates. Ninjas. Part two of the rampage. Part two.

Yeah. Shit is real out here. You picked it up. Heating up. You had a slow start. I'm not gonna lie. But you start picking it up. All right. Let's get it. This last section is gonna define how be how people remember your rampage for generations to come. This is life okay. Let's get it. This is the word is for generations. to come. this is history. I don't know about you, but I have like high hopes for this podcast. So yeah, generation. I thought he'd be the last episode, actually. I don't know. We ain't stopping. It's gone down poorly. All units. All units. Move in. Shut down the podcast. Shut down the podcast. No, no, no, no, no. Dr. Box, this is the word association. Stop calling him Dr. Box. Yo, Dr. Box. That's funny as shit. Okay, last section is the word association section. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna give you one word. You give me one word back, basically.
