Red Carpet Grammy Interview

I want to know what makes you react. How are you able to do these songs so quickly? And what gives you that spark to react and do these viral songs?

Uh, I see it go down just about like everybody else. And, uh, I suppose I’m in a hurry, so that that makes it go fast. Um, and uh, yeah, I think I’m just singing what we’re all seeing and saying. Yeah.

What has been the reaction that you’ve gotten both good and bad from particularly the songs about ICE? Although all your songs are really keenly observed.

I think it just gives us a spot to have a conversation about what’s going on. I think some folks, they hear it and they go that that’s what I wanted to say, thank you for articulating it. Yeah.

In this current climate, do you ever feel nervous about putting that online?

No. No. No. I’m doing what I’m supposed to do.

How do you feel about people saying you’re the new Bob Dylan? That’s been said more than once.

Oh, that’s silly. He’s, you know, he’s on a level unto his own, so.

So, we have a question now from the Zoom. I’m sorry I didn’t hear who it was. What was the first song you did on Instagram that was the one that really got the attention?

I had a tune called War Isn’t Murder. I put that up and I think that that got a reaction. Yeah.
