Korin on Rebranding, Being Broke in NYC, Film and Music Parallels, and More

Seconds and no one is just a place in your mind that you have to go to to pull out your most creative self or your best work. You're not thinking about trying to be similar to this person or try what they're doing. You're literally just creating brand new art, pure original art. The One More Time Music Podcast. Genuine conversations with genuine people about music. Hosted by Henry with a three and playback Ben. We're from being more coops to piss off. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back for another episode of the One More Time Podcast. I'm your host, Playback Ben here with my co-host. Henry with a three, because Henry with a knee was already taken. And Henry with a three. Who do we have on the podcast today? My guy. Welcoming in on episode 50. The half century. Let's go. Episode 50 of the One More Time podcast. You know her. Standing next to Beyonce, coming up, one of the legendary groups of our time. It's Kelly Rowland.

Kelly. Can we expect a reunion album anytime soon? Anytime. Are you still good with B? Uh yeah, we're friends. But um I do, I I move alone. You're on your own time now. I work alone. She's solo dolo now. In all seriousness, we have singer, artist, actress, uh designer, I mean, dancer, social media, personality, whatever you want to call her. She's Corinne. That's what you need to call her. Corinne. Formerly known as BK Summers, you know. Yeah, so we're gonna maybe work a little backwards here because we are gonna start there. That's fine. Because most people that have known you knew you as Brooklyn Summers. Miss Brooklyn Summers. Yeah. With two N's. Don't get it twisted. Exactly. right. So so the the rebrand to Corinne. Like, tell us what that's about. Why do it? You know, because it's tough. We've rebranded an artist before, and it is. It's no trivial pursuit.

I mean, you really were had to be committed to do that. So, like, why why do it? What's the story behind it? Well, I was very um skeptical at first. Like, I couldn't decide. I'm like, but Brooklyn summers sounds so good. And thinking about it, honestly, like mentally, it helped me. Like with hearing people just call me Corinne, I felt like I was more myself rather than this persona I made up. And to is it your real name? Yeah, Corinne's my first name, Brooklyn's my middle name. Oh, so both were here. Yeah, but you know, summers is not my last name. Sure, okay. Um it was literally something I made up when I was like 17 for uh acting, and I was actually I actually had a podcast when I was in high school. So Oh, wow. I went by Brooklyn Summers for that acting. Um this isn't your first pod. Nah, not my first pod, but my first time being interviewed on a pod instead of doing the interviewing. Hell yeah. We'll take that. Yeah, I like it. One more time exclusive. One more time. So uh going back to Corinne just like helped with people taking me more seriously, and shit, me taking myself seriously.

Had you struggled with that, like not taking yourself seriously? Not really, because I've been doing all this shit since I was like six. But paint us the picture of kind of like the early ages, you know what I mean? Like, you know, what kind of kid were you? Oh I know you spent time between New York and Atlanta like throughout your life. Like, where were you born though? I was born in Atlanta. You're born in Atlanta, yeah. But my family is from New York and the islands. My dad's from Jamaica, my mom's Guyanese. Okay. So I was raised in a very Brooklyn uh Caribbean household. Okay. And um hence Brooklyn. Yes, hence Brooklyn. My parents were diehard Brooklyn. That's dedication. Big Nets fans. Yeah. But um I yeah, I was I always went to New York back and forth my entire life, and then when I graduated high school, I moved there by myself, but it was expensive, so I came right back to Atlanta. Yeah. It's hard without your parents. Yeah, I do want to get into the Atlanta days like early on, but just kind of fast forwarding to that. I was listening to another uh like interview that you had done though, and you spoke on like it was hard.

I mean, you went places like without a ch a phone charge and like stranded at night, like walking like miles. Bro, I was so fucking broke living in New York. Like, I was thinking about selling my ex. I was thinking about marrying a Haitian guy for $50,000. Like, that's how broke I was. Wow. I was trying to get a job. To get him citizenship? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, that's like a big thing that happened. There's a bag for that. Oh, what? Definitely. What? Don't let, don't let don't let it be a rich family. You know, mediocre looking guys like me. Yeah, they don't care what you look like. They don't care. Yeah. Are you a citizen of the United States of America? Exactly. That's all that matters. Wow. You will get a big bag for it. Yeah. And the rate is like somewhere around 50,000. Yeah. Yeah. Starting point. Starting, actually. I know some people that got $150,000. She got low balled. The bad part. Yeah, we got CEO Kyle in the building. He's, he's he's about to deliver some goods. From episode five. Episode five to episode 50. Henry.

Oh, can we get one of those trays? No, it's it's for her. Yeah, but we need it. Okay. Yeah. She's cash on the sign. I thought you were just hitting it and passing it right back to Kyle. I was like, that is so yeah. Okay. We got Kyle in the building. Shut up, Kyle. New York taught me a lot though. Um other than being broke. Other than that, I don't want to be broke. Brooklyn summers. Brooklyn. Damn Summers. That one's funny. Nice one. No, literally, like broke as fuck. Like my mom would send me money every day. Like, I was trying to get a job, I just couldn't. But I was acting, but I was doing shit for free because I just wanted to add to my resume. So are you a believer in doing shit for free though to like get your start? Like, do you recommend that? Yeah. When you're when you're first starting, yeah, I can't tell you how many student and short films I had to do just to like it's good to get practice before people expect too much from you. Yeah. Because first you have to expect it from yourself. So doing all those free project projects helped a lot because, like, one, I I know now I I don't want my time to be played with, and two, I don't want to play with anybody else's time. So that's what the free things have definitely taught me.

But I'm always willing to like barter services. It's never, there's never been a problem. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's interesting because like some people recommend against that, right? Because then you are maybe like setting a precedent of like this girl will do some shit for free. So, like, why pay her type shit? But others, of course, argue in favor of the practice side of it and the experience, and but I also try to like anybody I'm willing to do anything free for nine times out of ten, I'm friends with them in a way. So I but I always try to be friends with the people that I want to work with because I won't feel comfortable to be creative around you or to even speak my ideas out loud if we're not friends. But are you comfortable doing business with those people if they're also your friends? That's where it gets kind of muddy, right? I usually have a good uh judgment of character, so I know who to do that with and who to not do that with. Okay, like for sure. Uh, there are definitely boundaries. Okay. So were you always a creative growing up? Yes, since I was a child.

So when I was six, I was actually signed to a modeling agency in Atlanta. Six. Yeah. My mom got me started early. The six-year-old models? Yes. Who do you think's posing in the damn, you know, the Gerber baby? Exactly. Yeah, okay. I was shy. So my mom took me out and just put me in theater when I turned eight. So, I did theater at the Alliance Theater for like four years, and then I did another theater. So you were too shy for modeling, but not too shy for theater? Yeah, for some I don't well, six and eight, two different ages. Okay. It is somehow like a sounds like a little, but you're like growing up a lot, I feel like from those two years. Because once my mom took me out of it, she was like, No, you're not gonna waste my time, you're not gonna waste my money. Like, no. And then for those two years, I had to sit and I'm like feeling like mom, I need to do something. I want to do something. Like, I tried I did all sports, but my mom could tell I was like, I used to be like, mom, what if and I'd like to say a scenario. And my mom came from a film background. So to her, she's like, write it down. Like my mom was a DJ, she was a casting director, she did a lot of like um PA work. Like, so she was like just getting started.

And she even like went to LA and worked for Dr. Phil for a few months. Wow. As the executive producer. You are not the father. Or is that Maury? That's Maury. Dr. Phil is ways more serious. God dang it. But um, so she always would be like just writing down. Stupid daytime reality TV. All right. But um, yeah, since I was a kid, uh, I have notebooks still. My mom kept them all of like stories I would write. Like I used to write books in my notebooks. Like, I'd had notebooks for school and notebooks for writing stories. So, and I was a very visual person. So, and and like I was a really smart kid. So, like in middle school, I read damn near every book in the library. And I was bored. so you were like crushing the accelerator reader program and shit. Oh, what? What? I was top of the what? Top of the list. Are you kidding me? Hell yeah. What? I was on it. I was not playing because I really liked reading. I really I love reading. But um Do you still read? Yeah. I'm trying to finish this book right now, but I've developed a little ADHD. So sometimes I don't get to doing something else. Yeah. But yeah, I've always been a creative person.

I've always been to do art. I used to make my own clothes in middle school. Yeah. High school. That's when I got really started going forward for with acting. Uh I was in a girl group. So like I was always trying to do something in the creative field because that's the only thing that made me like thrive or like feel alive. So the Destiny's Child reference wasn't that like far off? No. You were in a you were in a girl group. I did good. Except I was Beyonce in the girl. group. Oh, she was Queen B. She's like, fuck you, Kelly. No, no, no, no, fuck Kelly. Fuck Kelly. Yeah. Doing multiple creative things though, like over the years. I mean, like, do you think that that's a good strategy? Like, have you liked doing that, or have you felt like torn between the different creative things, right? Because I mean it's like damn near hard enough to do one thing. One creative thing. I'm just now learning, and my my team is the people who made me realize this. I'm just now learning that you have to do one thing at a time. Sure. And it's been showing a lot of progress with focusing on one thing at a time.

And now I see with like, okay, like right now, I'm back for the weekend because I'm filming a movie or her film, the book the lead. Okay. Um, so I'm filming that, and I've been there for four weeks so far. I have two more weeks to go. Six weeks is so long in a small ass town. I'm in small, like where are you? Thomasville, Georgia. It's like 30 minutes from Tallahassee. Never heard of it. That is Yeah. Like I'm like 30, 45 minutes from Valdosta. Okay. Yeah. So I'm in the country. I'm in a very small town where everybody walks and everybody knows each other. There's no black people, right? Uh, there's actually black people. There are. Yes, actually, historically black town. It sounds like one of those places that has no black people. It's a lot of white people. Okay. But because it's historically black town, you know, the ones who had money just went and bought land and then started like there's these mobsters. What? they like literally own everything in the town. Oh shit. It's one of those. Yeah, it's one of those. It's like watching like an episode of Vampire Diaries or something. What?

But um yeah, being there is driving me insane when I'm not filming because all I'm thinking about is recording. Like I'm doing nothing but voice memos, like trying to just record like I have this app called Off Top Off Top. So I just put it in my headphones and I just uh put the beat on there and I record to it. And if I send it to my engineer, he can like mix it properly. Like it makes it easier for them. Yeah, this is a gem like you never have an excuse not to record it. Fuck off if you need this studio off top, sponsor us for this. No, literally. Shout out Off Top because yeah, because I mean, when that I mean, we've talked about this several times now. When that creative energy strikes, you have to capitalize on it. Yeah, because that shit will go away as quick as it came into you. Exactly. Like I try to have my voice notes on at all times. Like in the middle of a scene, you're like, fuck off. I gotta say something in the trailer, like as soon as I get back to the trailer, there might have been one sentence somebody said that like stuck in my head, and I'm like looking for something to make something out of it.

Cool. Because I take the the one thing I do like about being creative in all different fields is that like I can take one thing that I learned from film or acting or an emotion, apply it, and apply it. Same thing with music, just apply it like back and forth, even with writing, even with creative directing. Like sometimes I hear a beat and I see a video before I see the song, before I hear the song. And going based off of my visual like brain processing it in a film way, I'm like, okay, wait, I know what I want to talk about because I know what the video is. You can just talk about what you see. Exactly. I'm just talking about what I see and creating something. It's kind of cool, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what are some other parallels that you see that you're kind of like either from music to acting or acting to music? Like, you know, what are some of those like things that you're taking away from each? Uh acting to music. Okay, so like it's funny that you asked that because uh I'm about to put my video out for famous. Okay. So a lot of that came. famous or famous 2201. That's another story.

Famous though. We'll get into the 2201. I'm jumping around. But famous, um, the video. I kind of same with the cover art, it's like claymation. Yeah, uh, I love cartoons animation. I'm actually writing a cartoon right now. Cool. I also write horror scripts, so I'm writing a horror series right now, so that's all I'm saying. But um those are two vastly different types of content. I mean, that's me. I literally go to search Murder documentaries, so but I literally balance it out with some cartoons, so I'm never really scared. But like a horror murder cartoon. Hey, that's a good one. Has that been done? That been done? I don't think so. Listen, I don't think it's I'll take two and a half percent of that idea. That's it. I'm down. That's all I need. I'm all about And as your manager, I'll take 20% of that two and a half done. But um, I'm actually I got so yeah, watching um claymation cartoons, like uh Mr. I think it's called Mr. P.

It's it's like a animated cartoon, it's a black cartoon, and I forgot who the voices are on it, but I used to grow uh the PJs, that's what it's called. The PJs. So um that and playing Celebrity deathmatch and watching it growing up on MTV, yes, that's where I got the claymation idea from. Yes. And that's like the beginning of my video. clay. Like and then I like cartoons like I like Big Mouth. I like Family Guy and you know all the adult cartoons. There's a spinoff of Big Mouth now, right? Yes, there is. I haven't seen it. I haven't watched it either. I want to watch it after I'm done watching Vampire Diaries. So I took like animation and I found I got the people that I'm acting with to do voiceovers because they actually do voiceover acting majority of the time. And um they're going to do it for the video. So it's like I kind of took those two aspects of how I know to create a film or a um a television project, I guess you would say, and put that into my vision for my video to create an experience. So you feel like you're in dimension 2201.

Like your brain is always the goal of my brand is to make you feel like you're doing something else somewhere else. Like um tap into your brain, second to no one. Like that's what 2201 is second to no one. So it's like a mindset. It's like a mindset to stay in. So second to no one. Okay, yeah. It's good. Yeah, I'm a little slow, but I get it. I get it. Yeah, seconds to no one is just like a place in your mind that you have to go to to pull out your most creative self or your best work. Like you're not thinking about trying to be similar to this person or try what they're doing. Like you're literally just creating like brand new art, like pure original art. So that's kind of the messes with that one. It's pretty cool. Damn. I thought it was like a phone number, old phone number or something like that. The last four. Yeah. No, no, Her home address. Like second, to no one. Way cooler. Oh man. Way cooler. That's that's cool. So what do you love most about acting? Because we're gonna get into the music here in a little bit because that's I think where a lot of the focus is is now. Yeah, right?

Um, but I guess you know, starting with the acting side of things, like what appeals to you most about that creative medium? Like, what do you love about acting? I love that I'm really goofy. Like, I'm a fucking hoot. I'm a hoot. You can ask Kyle. I call Kyle and make him laugh every day. And make him laugh every day. I'm a character. My mom has always said that since I was a child. Like, my family literally called me five, six, seven, eight, because I'd be like, yeah, I made up something, I have to watch it real quick. So I've always like loved it. I loved having fun with acting. I love like who I could be and turn into. Um and like again, it it goes into like how visual I am because if I'm reading a script, I'm imagining exactly how to do it. But I really like being in front of the camera. Like I've been like that since I was a child. Like my mom bought me a camera. I had a thousand videos on it, like always making a video, even if it was to me singing. So um, I guess as a kid, I was kind of like an attention seeker, but like I I'll I was never really seeking it because I just had it.

Like I don't know. why. You always had it. I just always had it. So I just knew how to be in front of a camera. Like I'm fine, I feel comfortable. Yeah. Do you do you find yourself ever having times where you're not wanting to do that though? Recently. Where you want to say, like, fuck off. Like, I don't want pictures, I don't want to recently I hate taking pictures. Love. Really? Love taking videos. Love showing personality, hate taking pictures, hate having to pose. Then I think I look better like in person and on video more than I do like trying to pose for a picture. Like, and it's crazy because I I But you had a lot of modeling that was like how you built a yeah, I mean that's how I got my idea. Everything. yeah. I was like this calling a spade a spade here. Like you built you even said it before in another interview, like you definitely built a following over like being a very attractive girl and posing and the modeling side of things was like yeah that got me to where I wanted to be but I knew that's not what I wanted to use I wanted to use my brain yeah and growing up a lot of people just took me as a pretty girl and I'm like you don't even know how smart I am That's so crazy like I knew how to play every situation because I'm just like it's fine like I know who to talk to about certain ideas and who not to because I know who's gonna take me seriously and who's not I know who's gonna listen to what I have to say and understand what I'm saying. I'm I know who I can tell who's not open minded the minute I met I meet them and it's like at that point it's no point in me showing you how smart I am so yeah I'm gonna use the situation to where I to where I benefit the most and collect my funds and spend it on what I want to spend it on to get to where I'm trying to go.

Yeah so I'll take the modeling job if it means it's gonna pay for my studio session that's fine. She's dangerous she is yeah I love I love that attitude though to be honest. Yeah that's dope. did I answer your question though I I think so I rambled so much I'm sorry no I mean I I think it was just more you know focus on like what appeals to you about acting and I think that you know you admitted that like being in front of the camera even though now you've maybe shied away from just wanting to like yeah you do. Like I I have a scene on Monday where I'm supposed to cry I've been practicing crying every day I am so excited. How do you do that? How do you do it? Do you have to actually, because I've always wondered that, think about the saddest thing. I have no actor friends really so it's like you know when you see a scene yeah you know when you see a scene that like everybody's crying and it kind of makes you like so all of you'll spit like don't cry. Don't cry. Like, that's what I'd be looking for, trying to feel. So, like when the lines are the writers are so good for this movie. When I'm saying the lines, like I'm actually believing them. So it's like if you convince that's not good because that means I bec I can believe my own lies.

So that's actually my toxic trait. I believe my own lies. That's why I try not to lie. But acting is where I can lie. Yeah. That's what it is. That's why she likes it. It's her like drug, you know what I mean? Lucky, lucky, lucky. She gets her fix of like lying, of like, I'm just I'm just acting though. Yeah, I'm just pretending. Like I could cry at any moment and just convince somebody to give me what I want. So um I'm definitely the friend that could like cry out of a ticket. Like, I got a ticket today because I was about to cry. Like today. Today. Literally today. Like on the way here. I really don't want to get in trouble with production, please. Like, I was about to cry. My eyes were so red and watery. But I knew he wasn't gonna, because like the cops, as soon as they hear you're doing something, they're like, I'm gonna just let her like just slow down, ma'am. Just slow down. Like, all right, cool. Damn, I'm gonna I mean, I don't know if it's gonna work for you, bro. I'm gonna try. Just lie. I don't know if it's I don't think it's gonna work for you, bro. I don't know, man. You know, I'm gonna be like, I'm on the way to my grandma's funeral. I don't know. that's the way I was ready to I was ready to lie. I don't have any grandparents, so I don't feel bad.

This podcast is toxic. Because if I said that and I did have a grandma, like she would die today. My mom used to tell me that. But um, I actually looked busted this morning, so uh he really just felt bad, I guess. You just look that shitty. Yeah, I look that shitty. I did not look like that. Did you shower and do your makeup before you came here? Thank you. I had to drive three hours here. Like, I was looking like three hours, three hours, three and a half. Wow. Yeah. For the one more time podcast, let's give it up for ourselves. God bless. We got people coming out of from out of town, man. I had to make it here. I was not playing. that is dope. So obviously, you've, you know, definitely you're doing a movie right now, but like walk me through some of the like most memorable moments on on set, right? Like, kind of like some of the either the funny or like the weird like um you know any anything that pops up give us the juice well we all went to karaoke one night and I sang karaoke I sang Michael Jackson and we had a blast with with your crew the whole crew and cast. this new crew yes the entire crew and cast has this been your favorite crew to work with a hundred percent the nicest people I've ever worked with it's crazy I'm like I'm the only black girl in the movie so like do you get killed in the woods or something in the beginning of the movie? I live. I live. Spoiler. Yeah. Spoiler, spoiler alert, I can't say nothing else. Okay, yo, Kyle is like, I'm just gonna say I don't die. His ears are perked. yeah I mean I think you did post the name of the movie though before yeah so can you tell, like, whatever you can share about the current project that you're that you're working on. Well, I got to meet, um, Armand Assante, he's playing the grandfather, um, he was Gotti. You know that movie Gotti, the mobster movie? Oh yeah, Gotti, yeah, he played John Gotti he played Johnny Gotti. Yeah. And he was also in American Gangster. I'm like, the worst. Oh, okay. That's like one of my favorite movies of all time because he, like, really kind of ruled this 80s and 90s with, like, the mobster roles. Like he's dope. seeing him act like just observing him and I'm just I can't wait to add this to my reel like honestly but um seeing him like he came in he kind of knew the script but like him like trying to adjust to it to the character like I was seeing even how he was like going from being normal to like even how he would like sit and adjust his shoulders and his mouth and brush his like face a certain way. Like he was really getting into character.

Like, and I'm I've I get into character, but like it's like his whole persona, like switch as soon as they press action. And I feel like mine does that, but like the way his did it, I was like, I'm being out acted right now. Like he really believes it. Like I was believing it. Like I was just like, oh my god, this is the most believable shit I've ever seen in my life. And I've done several movies, but like that was different, so I can only imagine working with other people. Is that elevating your skills though? 100%. It made me want to go back to classes like immediately, like get a private coach and everything, and like really sit with it and like sink down. And even like the Methodist, the actor, like he had to smoke cigarettes in the scene. He just started smoking cigarettes outside the scene. Like, I don't know if I can say that's hard. though. Yeah, like real method actor. I mean, lung cancer is not cool, but like that's cool. Do it for the bag. I don't even know if he smoked cigarettes, but it was just like cool to see him really like use it to address to get into character. Yeah, it's kind of like the steel sharpened steel thing though, of like you literally improving because you're surrounded by you know people that are really doing it right.

Shout out to you taking phrases from Ben Riley, by the way. Shout out Ben Riley for giving me phrases to. Yeah, he's dope. Um okay, cool. So anything else that we need to know that you want to like highlight as far as like the acting career that you've had, because I do want to move into the music, but um honestly, after the way I've been filming this movie, nothing else is more important. We're moving forward and like changing up the role. I'm changing up the type of roles that I take or audition for, and I'm just really trying to focus on producing the horror series that I've been coming up with. Yeah, let's talk about that because I mean you've you've written scripts before. Mm-hmm. Like, I'm not sure how many ended up getting how many have gotten produced, like none yet. None yet, okay. Because I'm just trying to wait to produce it underneath my own company. Okay. Or I don't mind selling it either, as long as I'm on as an executive producer. I I actually want to direct though.

Like when I hit my 40s, I want to be directing. Would you act in it though, too? Hell yeah, of course. Okay, so yeah, so that's like a thing, right? If I feel like I fit that, yeah. Okay. Because I'm not gonna just throw myself in there like a lot of people do, Mm-hmm. and it just doesn't work. But would you write a script that has like the perfect role for you? Of course, I'm self-absorbed, of course. But uh at least she's honest, self-aware. I'm very self-aware. Yeah, I'm never stray away from that. But of course, I'm actually writing a sitcom right now for myself. Like the way Brandy had Moesha. Mm-hmm. like that for myself. Hannah Montana? Yeah, not even I don't want to do Hannah Montana. Uh-uh. But I want it to be like my goal, and I'm gonna keep on manifesting. I've been manifesting it for a year now. I want Sanaa Lathan to play the mom and Idris Elba to play the dad. And I want to. We literally compared Ben Riley to Idris Elba. Idris Elba yesterday. Woo! Maybe he's supposed to play my brother. You know how we roasted you with Kelly Rowland? He was Idris Elba yesterday. He was Idris Elba yesterday, just a much younger version. Yeah, make him um the brother, yeah.

There you go. Look at us connecting dots right here on the one more time podcast. We will take two and a half percent of that as well. Um that's that's dope though. So how do you like because do most script writers like do they stick in the lane typically? I don't know about most script writers. I don't have any script writing friends. Because I didn't know if it was weird that you're going from like a sitcom to a horror. Um honestly write whatever you feel that day. So is that just embodying you that you're kind of like elements of those things? Yeah, because I I see art in everything that I do, even through a conversation. So like my family is Caribbean, like I said. There's a lot of like we call witchcraft obeah. So uh like voodoo. So um and then all the like uh majestic and magical like creatures too. Like there's stories about everything, like mermaids and all. So um I've heard about plenty I've heard plenty stories from my grandmother and my aunts and uncles, my cousins about like witches and the things that they've done for like money, power, respect, revenge, love.

And I started writing the series based off of those stories, like certain stories that I heard, and I would amplify them by like ten just to make them like more wicked. And I'm like , I, I I fell in love with American Horror Story, like completely in love with American Horror Story and the way they made it like beautiful. Like it was really like cinematography, like real. It wasn't just like a scary show. Yeah, it was like art. Boo. It was like effort put into set design, like effort put into the drama, like so. That's the type of thing I'm trying to write, but for like my culture, because like I feel like you know, my culture isn't really represented the way that everybody else's is. And like Caribbean people, we just like they don't know how to do that. Like they don't know how to come about and push it forward. So it's like I feel like I'm supposed to be a vessel low-key.

Trailblazer. Yeah, because um I'm so deep into my culture. I love my culture. I love being Caribbean. It's like the funnest part of my life. What about it? Everything, the culture, how fun it is, the morals, like how everybody acts, like how we deal with things, the food. Like, I just love my culture. I love where my family is from. I love the type of people that it produced. Like everybody's a good person. Everybody tries to be like we value things differently. And I think we were big on like it takes village. And I think I'm so many different ways because I was raised by a village. And I took all the good parts from them. Because I'm a a very half cup empty, I mean half cup full type of person. Okay. Optimistic. Very optimistic. Like I always have some type of hope or optimism. Like that's why things always work out in my favor. And um taking those good parts on purpose, even from a young age, like I could s separate the good from the bad with everybody that I loved, and I always took like the good and instilled it in myself and soaked it up like a sponge.

Damn. Yeah. That's dope. Yeah. Thank you. I love the food. I love the music. The culture for sure. Anytime I've obviously like traveled anywhere in in the Caribbean has been like, you know, maybe it's the white sandy beaches and crystal crystal clear blue water, but beautiful. It's the rum. And the coronas, yeah. It's the vibes. It's like Caribbeans are the vibe curators. Yeah. Yeah. Just love it. 100%. one thing I wanted to mention before, because you kind of mentioned like, you know, it takes a village, but you were like just like me, I'm a mama's boy, you're a mama's girl. Oh, yes. My mom's my best friend. You shout out your mom on this episode a few times already in the in the beginning, but also in like other interviews I've seen. She's like big part of your life then. But my mom's the reason. Like, my mom is the most honest person in my life. Yeah. Like, I know if I can't count on anybody, I can count on my mom, no matter what. Like the day she goes, I'm gonna have to go with her. Because I don't know. Yo, that's how I feel. Like, I love my mom. My mom is literally the reason that I am the person that the the way she catered to certain things, like in me being an adult now and I'm understanding and even talking to my friends.

I'm like, damn, your mom didn't start you off early if you've been liking that. Like my mom got my mom got me on it quick. Like, what? Someone was on my ass about it. Like, no, if you're not here to be the best, then why are you here? And I live by that. If I'm not here to be here to be the best, why am I here? Yeah. So that's something you learned from her. What my mom was a Sag, so she's about her shit. my mom has her shit together and has had her shit together since the day she had me. So watching her like push through, and she's my hero. That's awesome. Shout out, mom, one time. Shout out mom one time. No, I'm I just like really that really resonated with me just because I'm such a mama's boy. I mean, like to the to the core. So I was I'm a daddy's girl too, though. My parents are great. My dad and I beefed so hard my whole childhood. Me too. He threatened to kick me out of the house probably like 10 times at least. See, I didn't live with my dad. My dad was uh married. Okay. So you're so lucky. I was not a mama's girl, but I have sisters with my dad.

But my dad, he definitely taught me how to like get it on my own and hustle. But you said something interesting, is like now that you're old, and this is something that I like catch myself doing. It's like now that I'm older, you do realize like, holy shit, like y'all were right, like pretty much every time. Yeah, about everything. Every fucking thing. So, I tell all my friends, I'll be like, if I'm tripping, go ask your mom. Go ask your mom if I'm tripping. Yeah. Because my mom and my dad have taught taught me things at a young age. Like, my dad taught me how to deal with men. And like that, I think that's why I'm most I'm so okay in the industry. Like, nobody could trick me in industry because like my dad and my mom put me on early, like early, early, early, like middle school early. Like, do not get fooled. People are weird. If people show you who they are, that's who they are. Like, but don't judge them. You take what you take from the situation, you accept people for who they are, and you let them grow on their own. Yeah. So I had a few lessons to learn, not trying to listen to that. And the moment I learned those, I was like, okay, what else advice you got?

Cause I'm tired of figuring out by myself. Yeah. I mean, it's just, you know, just down to like the littlest things though that like I used to beef so hard with my dad about because I just was such a typical, you know, young boy, honestly. And I just didn't understand like why. And I would always ask that. I was the king of why. Yeah. I would question the fuck out of my dad. Me too. And it was like now I'm like, now we're best friends. Low-key. My dad is one of my best friends. Literally, we're so close now. My dad taught me self-control. Because there are times my dad could have whooped my ass for the things I said. Oh, same. And like we're like, yeah, we're like, especially when I was old enough to process and be like, you know what? Fuck that. I'm telling you how I feel. Like I've been holding this shit in for a while. High school was the worst for me and my dad. I got my car taken away for Christmas. Bro, my dad. My dad and I were so bad in high school, but oh, man. but like now, but I gotta give it to my dad. Like, even though I didn't always like get what I wanted in that moment where it got what my sisters got, my dad taught me how to be independent, how to hustle, how to not expect nothing from anybody.

And most of all, he was there for me mentally and emotionally. That's huge. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, underrated for sure. So, like I when I got to a certain age, I'm like, okay, I respect you as a man because it's a lot of girls out here who are lost, and you've been teaching me, like you've been putting me on game. So no, it's just it's interesting because yeah, like I was my mom is a saint. Like, if you talk to anyone that knows my mom, she's a fucking angel. I mean, she's just like one of the best human beings I've ever met. My mom. And you know, and so, and my dad is just he's not that guy, but he but he's he's a hard worker, yeah, he's you know, fair, he he's a very like just you know, solid, understanding man, and like but just still like so they're balanced, yeah. But yeah, he's also older. My dad's older. I don't know if your dad is No, my dad's not that much older. Okay, so my dad is is old, like he's like in his 70s. I'm I'm 31, so like he had me when he was like 40 something, you know what I mean? So like he's we had a very generational divide, right? I kind of grew up with my parents, they had me young, see, yeah, They had me at, like 29.

That's the difference. My mom is like 60s, you know, so like she was like, you know, you know, just shy of 10 years younger than my dad. So like he robbed the fucking cradle big time, but um, but like, but even still, she wasn't like some, you know, like super young mom that had me at 18 or anything, she had me in her mid-30s type shit, you know. So, like that that wasn't the real reason, yeah. But he was also from like small town outside of Savannah. I was a city boy born and raised in Atlanta, so we didn't like you know, see eye to eye on just like I'm liking hip hop, he called it that rap crap type shit. Like, so you know, we just like not the rap crap, yeah. Yeah, we just really like didn't vibe in high school, but then can't spell crap without rap. Uh yeah, all the way through high school. But then literally, like, as soon as I was old enough to look back and be like, damn, I was a prick. Like, yeah, I was a little shit, you know. Well, because you're expecting now, and you don't want your kid to be like you. Um my wife and I are uh expecting in May. So, like, just shy of like a month and a half.

Technically, that's next month now. Yeah, holy shit. Little baby boy is on the way. So good. Did you get a Taurus or a Gemini? A Taurus. Okay, okay. You're safe. He's good. May 23rd. It's late May. That is Gemini. Good luck. Yay! Honestly. What are you? I'm an Aquarius. So am I. I'm February 17th. I am January 28th. We literally are the same person. I love you. Oh my god, I love you. I love you. Yeah. Seriously. Kyle, do you want to talk to me for a while? No. Fuck off, Henry. Sorry, and we ran a little bit. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so I do want to get into the music because I mean, was were you putting out music as Brooklyn Summers? No. Okay, so no music. I refused. So you refused. So Corinne was also, was it tied to wanting to like start the music thing too, really? Yeah, I was like, if I'm gonna make music, I need to go by Corinne now. Okay. Yeah, so I'm trying to change all my acting stuff to like Corinne from Brooklyn Summers. Yo, you were teasing Corinne for a while. I was.

I I went back in the in the crates as far as like you were teasing it from like 2018 type shit. Yeah. It was her name. For a long time I was trying to figure out what I'm saying. I know, but like she was teasing it as like clearly she's gonna change her name. At some point, it wasn't just like my name is Corinne. It was a thought for like three years. Yeah, there was like clearly some intention. Some foreshadowing going on. Yeah, like I was like, okay, so now I'm about to plot this out the way I need to. I'm gonna run out my money. Pandemic happened, I was like perfect. Run up. Got the stimmy check. Nice. What? I got stimmy, I got everything. She was balling. I went and did everything. I paid off what I needed to pay off. I'm like, all right, now I can put all my money towards music. Yeah. And move forward. So it took me a long time though. It took me a long time to like find the right team and find the right people to write with the right producers. Yeah. Who are you writing with most closely? Oh, Major Maja. Yes. Shout out Major Maja. I met Major Maja at the Soundhouse. Like, really? You know, you know, content house or whatever. Yes, yes, yes.

Yeah, my artist had a photo shoot there, and he was, you know, chilling around because obviously they live there. And yeah, I gotta get him on the show. We had texted about it like several several months ago. But now I'm gonna blow him up and say I'm gonna text him. That is the male version of you. Say, bro, the one more time podcast was so fucking dope. No, I will, I will. That guy playback Ben was like the coolest motherfucker. He's an Aquarius, and he's dope. But yeah, so Major Maja is a friend of yours and also a music collaborator. He's he's written some of the unreleased fire that we that we listened to before you got here. She was a little late, folks, so we had to listen to some unreleased Corinne. Come on, man. It's okay, it's okay. Major taught me everything I know right now, bro. For real. When it comes to songwriting. Yes, songwriting, vocal production, like even the man, everything, just everything. That is like one of the most incredible human beings I've ever met. He's so dope. Like one of the most I get along with him so well.

He's such an understanding person, he's such a good person. Like, he has so many blessings coming coming his way. Um, incredibly talented, like, literally makes me want to step my game up every time I work with him. Like, like because I don't want to disappoint him. Um, but he's an amazing writer, he really helps me like get into it. Like that man is just amazing. I love Major. Uh shout out. I would not be at this point without Major. Yeah. And I would have never met Major if I didn't meet his mom, CJ. She's I love CJ. Badass. That badass. I I aspire to be a woman like that. Yeah. She takes care of it, she handles business. Mm-hmm. But um what about on the production side? Production side. Oh, um, I'm working with uh some of my managers are also ARs, so they're really good with finding me producers that I blend with very well as soon as they hear something that I'm trying to like experiment with. But lately I've been working with um some guys in Australia, 18-year-old love 18 year old. 18 year old. his name, his producer name is 18 year old man. Okay, I was like, giving his age weirdly? No, no, no, no. I didn't know like what that was.

His producer name is 18 year old man. How old is he? Uh I'm not sure. He's not 18. He's not 18, though. He's not 18. Probably not. And, um. So one of your managers, by the way, I just want to shout him out one more time. Kyle, CEO Kyle, Kyle Campbell in the motherfucking building. And then your other manager, Main. Jermaine Mainstream. Jermaine Mainstream. Shout out Mainstream. Okay, awesome, I always thought it was M Vinestream. M Vinestream. No, M Mainstream. Because that's what his Instagram is. Yeah, so I always thought it was just M Vinestream. I was like, that's what I'm saying. What's the V as an A? Yeah. That actually has a cool little ring to it, actually. M Vinestream? M. Vinestream. Tell him you should just roll with it. All right. Um, yeah, so he um put me in contact with 18 year old's team, and then I ended up getting the beat for Famous through uh people that are on 18 year old's team, uh, Len 20. and um Uno Stereo. Okay. Uh Love them. I have like three notes full of beats from all of them that I'm trying to still record to to this day. And I'm like, no, I'm not giving this beat away.

I'm I'm focusing on this beat today. But they might give those beats away. I hope not. That's the thing, though. I hope not. Yeah. That is a thing. You better step in. Yeah, beg and plead. Trying to tell you. Luckily, they really fuck with my music. So they're like, whatever you make, you can have. Like, let's just do that. So, what's the artist development process been like? Because we actually, it's funny, because I mean, Kyle really loves getting his you know his hands dirty with artist development. That's why he likes working with the artists that he's working with. You know, Swavy, who we also have on podcast. Same shit. We talked about this with him, but I want to hear your perspective. Like, how's it going? It has its ups and its downs. Like, there are times where I'm like, do I really want to do this? But then when I answer back, I'm like, hell yeah, what the fuck are you talking about? Uh this process has been long. Like I said, I was in a girl group when I was 15, and I learned so much. I it's crazy that the second thing I learned how to do other than acting was uh dance. I was in jazz, ballet, hip hop, and breakdancing.

Like I was like auditioning to being videos as a kid, like between the ages of 11 and uh 15. So I was always in that. By the way, how perfect, real quick, sorry, is dancing and like visual stuff, just already have a background I already see what music, this is gonna work out, no problem. Yeah, uh, I've been training to be a triple threat since I was a child, so like I learned all that shit very early. Like, so um that is when I went into music because I'm like, okay, I can dance. Like, I need to be doing something else. I need to be dancing in a video, and then like that video might as well be for my song. And then, man, when I felt like a background, I was like, oh no, I'm the star. Like, no, I don't need to be dancing for nobody. And that's when I stopped auditioning for the videos. I was like, if I'm not gonna be a center of attention, like I don't need to be here, like no. So uh second to no one. So um there you go. I was like, okay, let me just I did the girl group with the girls that I knew from like the east side, and we would do shows and I felt like they're Beyonce.

And then the manager left and she asked me to leave with her. She was like, they're not taking it seriously. You are let's go. Then she just didn't have time for me, so I was just like, okay, I took a pause on music, but I was still like going uh singing lessons, I was still going to acting classes, and I'm just like, okay, I'm just looking for the right people. I was recording, but I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't understand vocal producing and stuff like that. Um I didn't understand I I was doing my YouTube type beats at that stage from. That's a necessary phase. Yeah, that 17 to when I started taking it seriously, 20 year old stage. Who were some of the artists you were looking for type beats? Erykah Badu type, okay, um, Frank Ocean type. Yep. Uh I was bro doing Bryson Tiller type. Okay. That's a big one. Um I was doing like Nina Simone Ooh. Mary J. Blige types and stuff like that. Interesting. Hell yeah. And then um I actually that's how I met um Henry uh high school. I met this guy named Zahn. Shout out Zahn. Shout out Zahn.

Because he really introduced me to like recording, like actually putting it on paper. Yeah, he was doing it, young. Yeah, and he 'cause y'all went to Tucker, right? Yeah. We went to Tucker together. Tucker alone, baby. You know what I'm saying? Tucker. Shout out the tigers. So you should know the 2201, you dig? Like, like that's really when we started singing. I graduated in 2010. Oh, never mind. You're like two years too late. One year late, one year late. Okay. Oh, just one? Just one. I just missed it. Yeah. Um, so I thought she was gonna be like, yo, bro, you're like a decade too late. No, nothing. No, just one. You old motherfucker. Yeah. No, just one. but um, yeah, Zahn brought me to Henry to record a song with him that he wrote. He would always be in math class, just writing and writing, and I'm like, what are you writing? Why are you not doing your math work? Right. Like, what are you doing? Those aren't numbers. Right. What are you doing? He's like, I'm writing a song. I'm like, oh, you're a songwriter. I was like, Well, I sing. And he was like, Do you know how to write? I was like, No. But I'm trying to learn.

He was like, I'll teach you. So then he wrote that song that we did, the um fashion slut song, whatever it was. And I was like, okay, wait. It wasn't the best song. It's called Fashion Slut. Something like Dirty Little Fashion Diva. Dirty Little Diva. Dirty Little Diva. Okay, that's what it's called. That's a little more like politically correct. It was like fashion slut, designer slut or something like that. Okay, wow. It's an aggressive. beat title. And I believe it was produced by uh my friend Yoko Chanel too. I think so. But yeah, so uh we started writing to that. Someone else took the beat because they paid for it and shit. I didn't understand all that at the time when I was a kid. And I was really 18, 18 or 19. And um, so I'm like, okay, I can actually record. I just need to like figure out what I want to record. And what do I want to say? What do I want to say? Like, I would go to I would go to sessions and not even know what I want to say. I'm like, I came up with all this shit at home.

Why can't I come up with it now? And then I discovered actually writing it down. And then I met Major Major, and then I learned the process of actually writing and how to like apply. Like he the first thing Major was said to me was like, okay, we have to be friends because I have to know your situation. What are you going through? What are you doing? Just like when I meet any other writer. And it just started like, I'm like, okay, so I'm understanding the process. So then that's when I started like understanding the process from home and like discovering like doing voice voice notes, even in my sessions, but at home and taking what I did at home and applying it in the studio so I can like provide a base when I am working with writers, like so I have my hand because I would never I don't really like people writing for me. I don't like getting songs and they're already written for me because I feel like I'm singing someone else's song. Yeah, you are. Yeah. So it's like I can't put in what I know my voice can do because I'm trying to I'm my ears are fucked up, y'all. So like if I hear something, I'm trying to like mimic what I'm hearing and not doing what is for me.

So I like starting from song starting songs from scratch to hear what I actually like to do. Yeah, it's it's interesting because obviously you're acknowledging that you like that level of support, but only to a certain degree, yeah. Like help me when I'm feeling blank, but let me do my thing until I figure out who I am all the way. Yeah, it's almost like add fuel to the fire versus like through the whole fire. Or let's just collaborate on it. Like Major never turns down my ideas when I have ideas, he's just like, okay, let's take that and make it better. So it helped me write it because with writing, because I might make something in the studio and then I'm like, okay, I hear it, I can make this better. So how often do you rewrite? I would take a month on a song. I don't care. So you'll record one version and then rewrite and record re-record? Yeah. See, that's interesting because a lot of artists don't do that. They give up after like the first session and like they they want to give so many excuses about like, oh, it's not the same energy. And like I can come back to it. Yeah.

I think certain people are one way and certain people are another way, though. Yeah. And they might not even be like, I think it's an excuse, but they might not even want to perspective. It's not just they don't want to come back to it. They might like it. And their little imperfections that maybe you see is to them could be, you know, representative of their character. And they like it. I still think sometimes it's settling. Because it's not, it's not to say that it's not good, whatever that thing is. I kind of feel like it's settling because no matter what I hear, I didn't have to do a remix on famous, but I'm like, I need to hear this in a different light. This is a really good concept, a really good song. Like, I need to hear this in a different light. Then I came out with the dance mix. Cause I'm like, now we're gonna hit different markets, and it's something I would want to hear. Like that's a lot that that's another part of my artist development. I'm starting to make stuff that I want to hear, not stuff that like other people want to hear. That takes some artists a long time to figure out. Yeah, For sure. I don't like making stuff that other people want to hear. So and it won't win, I don't think as easily. It's not even a it it is the the fact that it won't win, but it's also the reason it won't win is because you can't sustain that.

You can't keep it up forever. You will give up in a year, you'll give up in a month if you fucking are making shit that you're not so excited about. Exactly. Like I won't be a career artist. I don't give a fuck what anybody says. I don't care about anybody else being excited for it. If I like it, I like it because I know I'm picky as fuck. Like I'm so picky with the music that I like, I'm so picky with the artists that I like, I'm so picky with the writers, the producers. Like, I just know what's for me. I know what I like, I know what I want to hear. Because I won't, I don't listen to just anybody. But then do you take because you mentioned like not wanting to settle and like going back to songs and whatnot? So but you do take the people around you, like their feedback though. Mm-hmm. And then I always take feedback, but you then have to be like in agreeance. Yeah, and I'm questioning it, clearly, if I'm asking for feedback, clearly I'm iffy about it. But what if they just come with the feedback?

Because some and say I I don't like this or like this can get better. I look for the feedback that I already gave myself, and if somebody understands, like says what I'm thinking, I'm like, okay, so you understand what I'm trying to do. Confirms it. Because everybody doesn't understand what you're trying to do in a studio. Yeah. But there is sometimes nobody does. And you just gotta come back and do it with a different group. Because some people won't hear what you're trying to do because that's not their like original style. You have to also ask people, like I learned to ask people like, what's your specialties? Like, what do you like the most? What do you listen to a lot? Like, I'm I can't do someone, I can't do a session with someone who doesn't listen to RB music, who just usually records rappers. Like, that doesn't make any sense. I'm not gonna ask your opinion on RB. You don't even know what I'm looking for. Yeah, I I'm not gonna do something with somebody who doesn't know, understand house music and dance music, the difference between the two, and ask them if this house song sounds fine. Like they might say it's too slow, and it's like, no, it's not dance, babe, it's house, you know, like which is slower, exactly.

Like slightly, just a couple a couple little Five BPM. Five BPM slower. So, what's your background in that world? And have you been a huge fan of that style of music? Like, why the dance remixes and like in the I've always been a fan of it. Yeah. Since I was a kid. Okay. Um, so I was a cheerleader, I was a competitive cheerleader. Um, I did a lot of sports. I could totally see it. Not for Tucker. Uh I did cheer for Tucker. I was a freshman. You were too old, remember? Oh, but I'm proud. I was like, it was only two freshmen that made the varsity squad, and I made the varsity football team because I could tumble. As a freshman. Yes. But I did competitive cheerleader. Henry was too drunk at the games. I did. I was a platinum cheerleader. I was an extreme cheerleader I was a tumbler, I was a gymnast. Damn. Yeah. I play volleyball, play softball, everything. And so that was I play basketball too. Wow. And so that was like electronic music though? Like? Oh, so um with cheerleading, we there's like cheer mixes, and I used to literally listen. I was a captain and a choreographer when I was cheering at this uh park, but I took it so seriously once I started taking doing competitive cheer because I wanted to coach so bad. I just wanted to boss somebody around.

And because you have the mentality of either be the best or why am I trying? Exactly. Like I'm going to make the best thing possible. No matter what. Like you could be cheering. bring it on was my favorite movie as a kid. Me too, though. I had I agree bring it on movie. Even to bring it on. I had a sister, but don't fucking come for me. Bring it on again. And people don't even acknowledge bring it on again, but bring it on again was fine. It was not that good. It was good. It was not that good. It was good. Don't play with me. That was the one I had on DVD. I watched it every week. I did all the routines. This is our first you know, firm disagreement. Because that was not a good movie. Bring it on again was fine. Wasn't there like a third one? There was like seventh. Okay, there's like Bring It On One More Time. Right. Jesus, man. I'm about sick, y'all. Shut up, folks. Sorry, sorry, trying to get it, trying to get it. But um, yeah, so I was uh there's a lot of dance mixed in the choreography or whatever. And I would literally listen to cheer mixes as like me and my sister even have a YouTube called Cheer Queens. What?

Like it's all her videos on there. Yeah, I need to really get them taken off because I don't know what's up there. that's on Kyle's to-do list. of cleaning up your internet presence. You Google my name of your internet prints. Cheer queens will come up, and it's nothing but my sister I missed that in my research. I only had a couple days though. It's crazy. But yeah, cheer mixes were really like dance mixes, and then I started learning about like ballroom and house mixes, and like as I got older, I learned about Frank Ocean, I learned about like SoundCloud. I started listening to everybody's like house music versions and I learned about Kate Trinata. And then I was just like, okay, let's explore. And then living in New York, I went to like a lot of fashion week parties, and I loved the dance like mixes. It's everywhere there for sure. But what uh it just felt so good. Like it felt like where I was supposed to be. And then I told you I watched movies, so like you know, like that means I got a certain vision of how I expect certain things to be. Even high school, I expected it to be a certain way, off of watching just too many shows and too many damn movies. And so I were sadly disappointed when it wasn't that's how I feel about the club scene in Atlanta.
