Behind the Mic
Welcome to Twitter Spaces
Is everyone there? All right, welcome, everyone, today's Twitter spaces. Really, really pumped for this one today, and I can already see more people jumping in the chat, which is great. Shout out to all the people giving us an emoji now as well. Matt, I can see you there. Louise Kershawn. There's crypto. Really excited, I think is probably the wrong word. Just pumped, actually, today, for our guest, which is going to be Relo Ranzano, who, if you don't know, you got to check out his work, obviously, while we're doing the spaces this morning. It's a great opportunity for people to be able to listen to his music, learn a little bit more. But also just as well, if you want to join in the chat or join in the conversation, you're more than welcome. Rello, I think I've connected you. Really awesome to have you here for Mogul's Twitter live. I appreciate that.
Discussion about Music Videos
I thank you all for having me. Also. No, well, I mean, I was actually watching some of your music videos recently because I wanted to kind of get more of an idea of, you know, just obviously, your. Your style and things. I was watching Catalina, and for anyone, again, as we're sort of talking about the, you know, the music side, feel free to jump in and watch any of these, but that's a cool music video, Catalina. I appreciate that. Catalina was a vibe. It's a piece of work. We tried to put it together as best as we can. I guess we did a good job, if everyone likes it. Where did you shoot that? We shot that in the Bahamas, actually, in Nassau, Bahamas. It shot really well, by the way.
Videography and Collaboration
Thank you. Shout out to my videographer, Christon Seymour. Great videographer. You should be looking forward to more of his work coming. Yeah, I can tell he knows what he's doing, because, I mean, obviously, Mogul is a film production house, so it's like, we know, like, obviously, films. First of all, just though, having you here is really awesome. There's a really exciting partnership between yourself and Mogul, and also one of a first, because you're actually the first musical talent that we've actually done a collaboration with. So that's really cool. I thought it'd be really great just to kind of have a bit of a broad view of your career, what you've got coming up. I know you're opening for Little Dirk, which is super cool. And also happy for you to give a shout-out to anything else that you'd like to talk about throughout the next half an hour.
Exciting Developments
Specifically, you know, we can say everything will be done with Moga. We got to keep that top secret and just surprise them with it. Yeah. Let's just basically say we got. We have a lot of exciting things coming for you. Everything will be short, cinematically. The music. The music is a blur. And that's not to toot my horn argument is just a lot of hard work as a blur. They love it. They love it. We got an album coming up. Can escape the lore. My manager, my brothers in there, Anthony Philly, so he's more. He's more on the managing and production side of it. So it's gonna be a movie. Other than that, we have Kershaw on there, one of the artists.
Creative Collaborations
I don't know if you saw the artist piece, one of the pieces for the NFT, but the headphones on top with the headphones and stuff like that, the paint. Kershaw was the artist. Then we have Allen Pacino, another big artist from the Bahamas, collaborating with us. That piece should be done. It should be done now in a few days. I just don't want to give them too much. Just stay tuned. It'll be an exciting ride. You will love it. You will enjoy every part of it. And this is only the beginning. And thank you, Mogul, for having us.
Location Insights
Yeah, no, that's. That's said beautifully. Don't. Let's not give away too much. But super shout out. And again, Chris, Sean, I can see you're in the spaces at the moment. Thanks for jumping in. I've also just, again, just sort of. So it sort of makes sense, anyone, if I brought you up to be a co-host or I've given you the access to speak, feel free to jump in anytime. It's a super casual conversation too. And like I said, we're super pumped just to have you, Relo, and also to be able to collaborate with you. Out of curiosity, where have we got you at the moment? Are you in the Bahamas right now? I'm in the Bahamas right now. I'm looking at the ocean.
Creative Environment in the Bahamas
Sounds terrible. For making this possible. You know, Kevin Owens. That's my guy. That's a big brother. Mine. I love him. Well, I was actually. I mean, this just comes to mind. But one of the great things about the location, you know, where you're at is obviously shooting music videos and shooting. Shooting film clips. But what's the creative scene like there at the moment? How would you describe it for any artists that wanted to know the industry there? It's yellow and espanol. It means it's heaven, man. It's like, let your mind wanna know that you got the beautiful seas.
Cultural Highlights
You got a lot of cultural places, like old buildings, vintage buildings, just the style, the palm trees. You got great weather all the time. You got different flavors of women, you know, for the videos, it's just lovely. Mandy, it's a static. Is there a big music scene there, or is it. Is it kind of low key? Would you say it's about to be? I like it. I like it because I. I think you sort of hit the nail on the head. I mean, I'm in Los Angeles. A lot of people. It is definitely a creative town. But there's some really cool shooting locations.
Entering the Industry
Whether it's. You're in film, tv, music, and I think where you are, obviously, at the moment, you'd have a smorgasbord of what you want to shoot there. Just from your sort of experience, what was your first taste of getting into the industry? Can you talk about that? My first taste? We're still trying to get in the industry, but we're in there. But you mean first time I did music. Be more detailed with that question for me so I could answer correctly what.
First Songwriting Experience
What was. Okay, what about we talk about the. The first time that you sort of, you made an album or you kind of wrote a song, like the very, I guess you could say the point where you felt like this can be a career. To be honest, the first time I wrote a song, I was, say, 40. I was. I was a kid when I was writing songs. Didn't take it serious. Then I moved to Chicago at four. I was 14. And they had this kid named Candy Love.
Freestyling Events
Candy Love, if you out there, I remember you. You and Paris. Candy Love was the cool guy in school freestyling. And then I wanted the freestyle against Kenny Love. So he was, like, just embarrassing everyone. So I sat down for a week and wrote the best freestyle and memorized it at least ten minutes long. And I said it, and everyone was screaming and ooh and. And I got a suspension for the foul language. But I. That's when I knew I was cool.
Lifestyle Shift
Then I moved to Miami, and I saw the scene, and I was in college and university, but I was among celebrities, artists, the models, everything. And no matter what, I always stood out. So I was like, I'm in the lifestyle. I live in this book. And then, like, I might as well do it. But when Covid actually happened is when I took it serious, because it was like the world stopped. What could I do? How could I make money? How could I take care of my family at the same time, enjoy myself?
Taking Music Seriously
And when Covid happened is when I actually took it really serious. Like, let's do this, let's get it on, let's do it. Because do you know they say when you're back against the wall, when your back is against the wall, whatever you have on your mind and whatever is in your mind at that time and your back against the wall, that's what you're supposed to be doing. Or let's say you're bored and there's nothing else to do. You don't need money, you don't need anything. Whatever you do as a hobby, I think about that's what you're supposed to be doing. And all I think about is music.
Reflections on Creativity
That's awesome. Well, it's similar, and it's similar in the film industry too. When Covid came in, it was very much like, if you really wanted to be in the film industry, you'd still sort of find a way, you know, writing scripts, shooting, you know, horror movies that are, you know, while in quarantine. Like, you still want to be in it, but kind of to your point as well.
Navigating Passion and Commitment
Like, I, you know, if you don't really want to be doing it, or if it's. If it's not what you're supposed to be doing, then it's like you're not going to do it in the tough times. And I think, you know, you saw a lot of people obviously, you know, change what they were doing or change their outlook during COVID I mean, in general. I mean, is there any advice you'd give for artists that are starting out in the industry now that you had learned the hard way or lessons you've learned the hard way?
The Importance of Authenticity and Perseverance
If you don't love it, don't do it. I don't care what it is. If you don't have a real love or passion for it, don't do it. You wasting your time. And the best advice I have for artists is always be yourself. Like, you may think you suck, you may think they're not good enough, but just keep going. Find your song, you'll grow through it. As you grow in life, you'll grow in your music. Just grow through it. Pray alone. It's my main advice. Everyone pray a lot and just go through it. Don't stop. Why stop? How would you know if you stop and at the same time be open to advice.
Finding Balance Between Feedback and Self-Expression
Don't be attached to outcome. Don't be attached to your work because you may think this is the greatest song ever, but then the people next to you saying, now, you need to do this and not be open minded to hearing them, but still be yourself. But at the same time, it's kind of cliche and it's kind of hypocritical. At the same time, you have to know when I to listen and when not to listen. Your spirit will tell you that. That's why I say pray more. So you can learn who you are, who you want to be. And you can just say that you have to learn as you go. Anyone could give you a detailed blueprint, do this, do that. But it may not work for you.
The Journey of Learning and Growth
So you have to listen. And at the same time, a lot of things you have to learn and you want to experience because everyone has a different perception, a different story they want to tell, so you just learn as you grow. That's awesome. I'm actually trying to write down some of those quotes there because that's fantastic. And I think, like you said, it doesn't really apply just to the music industry. I mean, I can see all of that applying here in Hollywood to whether you're an actor, director, writer, producer. You know, if you don't love it, don't do it, because it's one of those things where you got to be all in and all, like, you're either all in or all out.
Persistence in the Face of Adversity
I feel like if you want to kind of have you endurance in it, let me ask you, I mean, actually, let me tell you a great story just on that because you really just brought something up when you said, you know, don't stop. But there was a guy that I know who wanted to be an actor, like, desperately wanted to be an actor. Loved, lived and breathed it. Came to Hollywood, came to Hollywood for three years, didn't even get a tv commercial. Like, not one single bit of work. He came from Australia, and then he basically was like, I can't stay here any longer.
A Lesson in Timing and Opportunity
My visa's running out, because obviously you need work to renew the visa. And he'd sort of committed to, like, this is going to be my last month here in America. Sold everything, which wasn't much, and was basically going to do, like, a road trip from LA to San Francisco. This is his last three weeks in America now. And his agent said, look, just audition for this last thing. And he kind of did it on his iPhone, used the Wi Fi at Starbucks to upload it. And that one audition went to a callback, went to another callback. The showrunner from Sons of Anarchy had a new show coming up and he ended up getting the lead role in this tv show.
Defying the Odds: Success Against All Expectations
But it was like he got nothing. Like, he didn't even get a commercial. He didn't even get a short film in three years. His visa was running out and it came down to the last three weeks and obviously he stayed on. And, you know, his career is, you know, really, trajectory is high, but it's just, it's that thing where, yeah, like, if he'd stopped a day before and said, oh, look, I'm not doing that audition because I'm leaving anyway, it all would have ended. Fox, you could have me, right? Yeah, no, I can definitely hear you.
Testing Limits: Building Resilience
Yeah, you can stop, like, because you never know when it'll be. And from life experiences with me, it sound crazy, but when it seem hard and stuff, crazy and you know, your character is aligned, you're not making dumb decisions, you're not doing nothing stupid, you're doing everything you can and see them hard. You right there. It's just like life testing you. Like, like Andrew Tatum say life is a gauntlet. How would you know who ready or deserve what they deserve? If you just give it to everyone? If you just let them go through five or ten tests, anyone could pass five or ten tests, anyone could overcome one or two challenges.
Faith and Determination in the Journey
You have to. So I don't know what everyone believes in, a higher power, whatever. I don't knock anyone for religion. I don't like to discuss religion, but I say I believe in God. So how would God bless you or give it to you and find out if you're worthy without putting you through it all, taking you down to the last point, like when you say you feel desperate, do this, but never make a desperate decision, still hold your confidence, still remember you are.
Embracing the Moment of Challenge
But how would you know? So when it feel like you're back against the ball and about the end, that's when you write there. If you keep going, you said he had one month, probably three days left. He did it. Now he's on. Exactly. Exactly. And sometimes you've got to learn a lesson on the way there, which is the point of the challenge. Yeah, speaking of which, I mean, do you have role models that you've always looked up to, or is there anyone in your life as far as in the music industry?
Self-Identity in the Arts
I won't even lie to you. I won't even sell a lie. All my life, I admire a lot of people, the way they move. I admire, I admire some things about people, but I could honestly say from the bottom of my heart, I never looked up to anyone. I never wanted to be like anyone and I would never want to be like anyone, ever. I admire them. I admire what they do. I admire the work. I'm inspired by it.
Understanding Individuality and Authenticity
But I always had this sense of assurity. I always knew I was. I may have been insecure in ways immature, but I always knew who I was, always knew I wanted to be. And like they say, Michael Jackson can't be Michael Jordan and Michael Jordan can't be Michael Jackson, but they both special. So I just want to be reload. Nothing else. Yeah. Which is. Which is, again, that's your identity.
Unique Perspective in the Industry
I find the same thing in LA and Hollywood a lot, too. You make a good point. Because whether it's the music industry or the film industry, I always say to people, like, if you're trying to be the next Tom Cruise is already cast in a film. Like they've already got in covered. Or if you're trying to be the next whoever it is, you know, Halle Berry or Jennifer Lawrence or whoever, they're not going to cast you because they already have someone more famous, higher profile who can play that part.
Emphasizing Unique Skill Sets
But it's who you are. Like, your unique features, your unique skill is usually is what is most interesting and that's what you've got to hone in. But again, you know, I'm sort of, can only sort of judge myself. But that's a real key, I think, for people making in the film space here. Let me ask you. Yeah, I mean, and jump in with any of your sort of points as well from the music industry.
Art in Authentic Expression
We're sort of talking a little bit about your career. And again, awesome to see so many people jumping in our spaces here. Yeah. Is there a song that you've written or you've performed that is your favorite or one that you kind of, again, has a special place for you? I don't write. That's the first thing. We don't write these down. These like real thoughts. We punch in. Stop think rap. Stop think rap.
Connection to Music and Emotion
So we don't write. When I write, I can't get the right emotion off. But as far as favorites, I got many. Manda, the can't escape the lore album is manny, all them. Every song is a real situation for me. It's like real situations. That's why I say I can't. I could write it, but it won't come up with the same emotion. So everything is real to me.
Embracing Artistic Creativity
We may exaggerate one or a few things and get creative. That's being an artist. Get creative. But everything is real to me. But one of my favorite songs, I would say Philly. What's the name of that song? Philly? Remind me. Shut up. Freestyle. The freestyle is on YouTube. Shut up. She only tell me that she loved me when she needed me the least the one with all the positive one who needed the least I don't tell her what to do.
Depth of Expression in Freestyle
I don't even speak. She don't listen to Jesus. Who the. Who the fuck is me? It's like, that's one of my favorite freestyles. Cause that's the first time I really got depth in my emotions and say what I really wanted to say. Y'all's back and forth, like, sliding. All the money involved. She backing up and sliding off. Say she wanted. Want me open like a window in the summertime no lie, girl, you find but my pride involved no, you hate it when I know she hated when a nigga do this.
Authentic Reflection through Music
Let me talk a little bit. Let me flex my shit. Not close your lips and just open up. Let me be like Michelle do coconuts. That's one of my favorites, man. Oh, we've got it. We've got to make sure the spaces is available for people to rewatch this. Oh, man, that's awesome. Just hearing your freestyle like this. Straight up.
Setting the Scene
Like, I just a quick heads up as well. Philly, you can speak if you want to jump in and add anything at all during this conversation. Please jump in if you feel you'd like to at any point.
Engagement with Participants
Yeah, most definitely. Just here. Enjoying the. Enjoying the show so far? Like, I think there's some pretty good questions that you're asking. I'm just. As long as I'll be in the background. I think it's just being. It's being underwear. Yeah. No. Well, as long as, you know, you're more than welcome. And again, it's such a pleasure to have you here as well. And again, just great to have so many people here as well tuning in.
Interview Flow
We'll make sure we keep the interview up on spaces. Anyway, after Rella, just kind of moving through just a couple more questions for you, which, again, like, awesome. Like, I meant before, I've written down some of the stuff that you've mentioned. you know, again, if you don't love it, don't do it. That's a great quote for anyone. Don't do it. You've wasted. Don't do it. Don't get a job until you figure it out.
Learning from Collaboration
Yeah. Is there any, I mean, from people that you've worked with from the music side, is there any. Any artists that you've kind of gone, wow, like, this person is really talented or you felt like you've learned the most from. To be honest, I learned the most from Philly, whether you believe it or not, because Philly very critical, but it's not critical in a way where he judging you. It's more critical where he blood raw with it. So he of the same mindset as me.
Critical Feedback in Growth
I never feel I'm good enough. He never feel good enough. Between Philly and Zelton, I learned the most between them too, because they always tell me, well, you got a lot of good songs, but we need great records. Like, if you're gonna do this, we need records. Like, we got hundreds of songs, but we're not releasing the album until we get records. So when I saw that recognition and everyone collabing for this project, I was like, all right, I'm ready now. All right, let's go get it.
Inspiration from Different Artists
So it's like, but the artists would inspire me the most. I don't wanna pick sides. I don't know if a lot of artists inspiring me. Like, there's a lot of artists inspiring me. You got Ghana, I'm inspired by Ghana. Like Drake, I still inspired by future. You got, but this new, this artist from South America, Ryan Castro, he inspired me a lot.
Cultural Influence in Music
The south american singing inspired me the most because their culture, like love music, is like a cult following, but it's not a cult. They just enjoy music like it's in their blood. So the south american artists and inspired me the most, like, right now, they inspire me because everyone, they so supportive down there. It's like a lot of support.
Support System in South American Music
Like, you go, you drop a racket if it's okay, they still give you 800,000 viewers just to check it out. Let me see what he's saying. But if it's great, they actually support it. And a few local artists inspire me also. A lot of local artists inspired me. You got lacks. Sleepy lacks. He inspired me a lot of. Who else is this young kid named Drew?
Emerging Artists Influencing Growth
This new young kid named Drew inspired me a lot of those kilograms. There's a lot of people I could go on all day. But no, I mean, the most of the music is between Philly and Zalton because if it's not hot, they're not gonna comment, they're not gonna write boxes.
The Importance of Tough Feedback
Like, they ain't saying nothing. But you got off tough skin around them. You feel me. Oh, man, that's so interesting because I kind of lean that also into the film space where you talk about when. If you're in a community or a part of the world where it's very much supported, like it's you. Like you were talking about in South America, where they obviously get behind you as an artist.
The Impact of Community Support
It's such a difference between that and when you're in an environment where people are more pessimistic to start with. I love matajing, I love my bombers, I love my country. I love every part of the world back at all. But I love Columbia. I love Mather James.
Collaborating with Little Dirk
Well, what about. Can we maybe dive just a little bit into little Dirk? What is it? August 31, you'll be opening for him, is that correct? Yeah, we open them for Dirk. It's a pleasure, too. Shout out Dirk. You. Have you worked with him before?
Looking Forward to Future Collaborations
No, I would love to. And I look forward to it. Shout out again, anyone that's just joined in. This has been a great conversation already, Relo. And again, if you just joining, one of the things to look out for is our partnership coming up, our collaboration, which is, again, we haven't given too much away.
Excitement about Upcoming Projects
We can dive just a little bit deeper. Before the end of the year. We could dig deeper. Get them. Don't hold back. Let's get them. Yeah, well, I think the interesting thing that makes for anyone that kind of, again, doesn't know who mogul is. I mean, look, we're a film financing and web three company that loves to make films and also support and do collaborations, whether it be, you know, nfts.
Music and Film Collaboration
But this is going to be our first music collaboration that we've done. And again, just quick shout out. I'll do a quick plug relo as well, in case you or any of your friends, you know, our latest movie's coming out on the 30 August. You'll be obviously opening for Dirk on the 31st.
City of Dreams and Future Plans
So similar time, City of Dreams comes out in us cinemas. So check out that again, which we're really excited about. Have you got any plans to go into the film industry as an actor? That's all the plans can escape.
Future Aspirations
The law will not just be an album. We got a lot of plans. We can't say them, we'll just surprise them. It's actually a film we've been working on for the last two, three years. We got a lot of brushing up to do, so we didn't discuss that yet.
Advice on Growth
You know, you can't go from level one to level 100. You gotta. That's the main advice I want to tell people, too, what I learned. Stop trying to skip levels. Stop trying to skip the process. Because if you go from level one to level ten and you drop down to level one, it's gonna be harder to get even back to level eight because you didn't learn along the way.
Embracing the Struggle
So stop rushing, stop being desperate, like. And like, embrace. The struggle is hard, but it's the struggle. It builds character, as easier said than done, because it hurts. Suffering hurts, but it builds character. It shows you lessons you need to learn and all that. Don't try and skip that.
Importance of the Journey
When you try and skip it and go the fast way, it always leads to regrets, it always leads to embarrassment, shame, pride for stuff. Just don't try and skip levels. Which is, again, it's such a good point because I think, I mean, I like to call it, you know, it's a process from the film space.
Processes in Arts
Like, whether you want to be a director or an actor or whatever it is from the. From the Hollywood side. I call it a process because it's, as you said, levels. It's like a lot of people, they just want to go straight to winning an Academy Award, but they don't want to either learn the craft or learn that it might take a guest role on a tv show to get a lead role in an independent film, to then get from the lead role independent film to then get a studio.
Overnight Success is a Myth
It takes time. You can't just suddenly make it a TikTok video and it suddenly happens overnight. Very rarely. Yeah, no, learn as you go. Like, just because people aren't commenting doesn't mean that it's not good. Just keep going. The more you do, the more consistent you are.
Consistency and Learning
They'll watch it, and then you will learn what you need to do. You will adjust a few things you learn as you go. Like when you first start going to school and. Or you first start cooking. You earn the best you had to learn and then you added your flavor to it. Never.
Becoming a Pro Takes Time
You became a pro. It's like a process, you know? Well, with that process, I think this is a nice segue to talk about it. Can you talk about what's coming up next or what you're most excited about that's coming up in the next twelve months?
Inspirations for the Future
Besides, we've got the partnership with Mogul and obviously opening for Dirk on the 31st. But is there anything else that's coming up that's got you inspired life? This Moga project got me most inspired because of what we about to do and what we about to present.
Keeping Things Under Wraps
To them, like I say, life, they got to stay torn. I cannot say too much because, you know, when you say too much, sometimes I wouldn't say it don't happen, but it's best to be quiet and show them. Talk less, do more.
Making an Impact
Just show them, like, give them those sneak peeks and show them. But this project with mogul is about to be serious, man. Mogul is going to be proud. The world's going to be proud, and this is going to lead to everything.
Looking Forward with Optimism
Else, which is, again, you make a really good point. I think, you know, if you just do the work, then it shows for itself. I guess probably one of the things would be interesting just to get your feedback on as well is, I mean, where do you see the music industry going?
Future of the Music Industry
You know, where do you think it's going to end up? The way, obviously, you know, you've got social media now. You've got social media artists versus traditional artists. You've got a, you know, online mediums like Spotify versus, you know, old school record deals.
Future of the Music Industry
But have you got in your head what you feel like the music industry might look like in the next five years to ten years? I do, but I don't want to get into politics. You know, I don't want to get into politics, but, so I don't know where they're going, but I know where we are going and where we are going. I know where we are going. And whether they say it's arrogance or confidence or whatever, I know where we are going. Way of runners. I know where we are going, and I need that seat. And I'm a big guy. I'm six foot eight, so I need that chair, and I ain't trying to share that either with nobody.
Focus on Craft
Well, I think you make a good point, which, again, I've noticed here in LA, a lot of people are kind of loving to get involved in the political side or the political views, and then obviously, over time, that kind of shaves off time that they could be using just to work on their craft, you know, shooting stuff, getting stuff done. But, yeah, focus on yourself, I think is a good. A good outcome to be looking at. I just focus on being the best version of me so everyone don't take that incorrect. Like, I can't do Drake, I can't do Kendrick. I can't be this, but I could be reload. No one's gonna beat me being Relo. No one's gonna beat him being him.
Collaborations and Growth
So I look forward to being me and the best version of me, and that would make room for all the people with me to be themselves in a bigger stage, on a bigger platform. I look forward to collaborating with the other greats. That's what I'm most excited about, because ego enters the room with a lot of people that won't ever enter the room with me because I know I am. So I'm looking forward to going in those arenas with the greats and learning from them and teaching as well, because we all, each one, everyone can learn from each other, from learning from them. They learn from me, collaborating with them, collaborating with me.
Inspiration and Legacy
That's what I look forward most to, showing the world what we actually do naturally, not forcing anything, just show them we do this. And coming from a country like the Bahamas, I look forward to my country being proud, everyone who believes in me being proud, and I look forward to the people who don't believe in me being proud. I look forward to inspiring them the most to be who they want to be. Well, you're doing awesome work at the moment, even already. And like I said before the, before we started the conversation, even for anyone, just if you haven't heard your music before, check out on YouTube.
Advice for Artists
And the music videos, well, have been shot really well. Do you have any advice for anyone that is shooting a music video as an artist? Because that's slightly different. I mean, that's kind of stepping into the acting world as well. But what advice would you give if you're having a music video shot for the first time and you're the artist? Sit down and take your time. Write your video out. Show them your vision. Like, my people, my team, always tell me, Philly, always say, no one knows your vision.
Creative Process
Like, they could say their vision, but only you could portray your vision how you want it. So write it out. Even if you never wrote a script, sit down, look at video or screenshots, certain scenes which you would like to mimic because there's nothing new under the sun. I didn't say steal other people's work. I said, be inspired by it and say, I want something along the lines of this. It doesn't have to be exact, like how you shot this. Only you could detail how you want to be saying, so it doesn't matter if you have a $100 budget or a million dollar budget, you could make it work.
Persistence and Collaboration
Get creative. Your artists, just get creative. Make it work. Don't be prideful. Ask favors. A lot of people gonna tell you, no, don't hate them. Just keep working. You feel me? Absolutely. Absolutely. I actually have a friend of mine, a cinematographer, and he shoots a lot of stuff, over here, with some great artists. I'm sure everyone's sort of heard of them. And the really interesting thing is, he was always saying that it's usually on the day, it's usually the artist that's the least rushed.
Energy on Set
The crew is rushing, you know, everyone else is rushing. And that's why often there's that energy, like, you know, obviously keeping up the energy from, you know, when it's 08:00 in the morning, you're shooting to 05:00 in the evening. But just having that energy all the way through. We've got time just for one more question, but before I do, I want to ask, before you say that, to keep that energy up, you gotta have a good team around you to remind you while you're doing it. Just be like, let's go. We almost there. You can't do that alone.
Passion in the Industry
Absolutely. Yeah. And it's funny you say that, too, because I think that's where you want to be working with people that are actually passionate about it. Believe it or not, there are people that move to Hollywood, come to Hollywood, and they'll be the first person to look at the clock at 05:00 and say, oh, actually, you know, I've got to do this now. I've got to do that. And mentally, they just detach from the set. But if you live and breathe it's like it doesn't matter what time it is, you just want to make. That's why only a few are great, and then the others just get hand me down.
Final Thoughts
Yeah, well, that's. And again, that's the ride. You've got to sometimes find that the hard way. Is there anything that we haven't covered that you'd love to sort of mention? Because, yeah, it's been an awesome conversation. Huge shout out to what you've got coming up as well with mogul, but also just with anyone checking out your music. Got to check it out. But is there anything you'd like to sort of bring up as well? Before we wrap up? I just want everyone else, everyone to check out the music right now.
Looking Ahead
Check out everything we got on YouTube. Stay in tune with what we'll be doing. Check out the Apple music, Spotify. But I'm looking forward to that video for KT Pasta. That's the next single we about to drop as a surprise. Sorry, mogul, I was trying to hold my mouth, but that's Pasta. It's gonna be a movie. We have the other special guest or two and that. So it's gonna be. It's gonna be nice. I'm looking forward that we have a lot of big songs on there.
Confidence in Projects
Like, I'm confident in that project. Like, super confident in that project of what? Of what it's gonna do in the world, what it's gonna do. Because all we're trying to do is project confidence. The main message with wave runners is trying to project. I'm not saying reload runs on, because it's bigger than me. You know, I have a team, I have people, and I just want no wave runners. Anyone who believe in themselves or know where they going or what they want to do is a wave runner in my eyes.
Injecting Confidence
You know, but, we just trying to inject confidence in people real confidence to be touching on subjects that are sensitive, but people are afraid to talk about in detail. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that. KT Pasta video, man. Let's go, man. Mogul, what we doing? Hey, you know what? I'm. I was going to say I'm keen to get more inspired with also just, just what you've got coming up. And again, your music videos and your locations, too.
Shout Outs
I mean, you know, for anyone that's from the film side and just wanting to get inspired, too, like, you know, you're doing great work there. That's Chris dawn. You got to shout out the mind behind the ghost, behind the camera. Creston. Hey, if he's ever coming to Hollywood, let me know. I know there's a lot of people that want to shoot. We're all going together. We coming? Yeah. Well, I wanted to say, again, I'll just leave with this, which I thought was great.
Conclusion of the Discussion
You mentioned embrace the struggle. For anyone that's an artist out there, you know, again, your quote, which was embrace the struggle, I really enjoyed the conversation. Philly, it's been awesome to have you as well. And also, thanks very much for both your time. Rello Philly, for coming on as well. It's been an absolute pleasure, and we're really excited about what's coming up between our collaboration. Most definitely. We appreciate you guys as well. Like I said, we want to say shout out to mogul productions.
Appreciation for Collaborations
Appreciate you all for taking us on and being the first, you know, first project under the music catalog that you guys are about to have. So we appreciate. We really appreciate you. This is something that's just going to change the space in the Bahamas and probably, you know, allow for more artists to actually have that visibility because the Bahamas' space that we don't. We don't actually have a music market out here, and we're trying our best in the room that we do, and we're trying to make it bigger than what it is.
Gratitude to the Team
So we appreciate you guys giving us a voice, giving us a platform, as well as just believing in the vision that we have behind us. So we appreciate your records. Philly. Relo Renzano. Hey, thanks, Philly. Yeah, right back at you and Relo. And look, we hope we can do this again for another conversation. Rello, have a great show with little Dirk on. On the 31st. More exciting things to come up before then.
Wrapping Up
And, yeah, just to wrap up and say it's been an awesome conversation and really appreciate everyone's time. We appreciate all of you, too. And thank you. And never forget, most importantly, always put God first, man. I love it. I love it. Get a prayer to win. Whatever you believe in, just put God first. I love it. All right, everyone. Well, looking forward to another space that's coming up, but yeah, this will be up on the Twitter page for everyone just to be able to reshare and listen.
Final Remarks
So many good points here. And again, check out Rello's music as you're listening to this as well. Have a safe and special rest of the week, everyone. Talk to everyone soon. All right, talk to you soon. Ciao, everyone. Thanks, Relo.
