You never know where it's going to go, you know? And I was like, yeah, fuck that, whatever, man.

Fucking keep fucking working, man. Then I thought about it and I was like, what the fuck am I doing? You know what I mean? Like, fuck it. You know? Give it a try. So I took the money that I was making, working on his house, and I bought a beat. I wrote a song to it.

I copyrighted the lyrics. I paid for the studio at Executive Studios. Over there was Sean Forbes, where he records that. And I recorded Roughnecks Fall in Love my first single. And then next time he came through. What was it called? Roughnecks Fall in Love. Okay.

When you were playing earlier. Yeah. Oh, okay. That's the first one I ever dropped. Some of them out earlier. Yeah. So I recorded that. And then I played it for him, and he was like,

Yeah, make it better. And he just kind of walked off. What the fuck, you know? So I was like, all right, make it better. All right. So I went to another, what was it, Clear Track Studios. And got with a guy, and he made it a little bit better. And next thing you know, we got it, and it was better.

And then he heard it. And he said, still make it better. So James was in Atlanta at his other studio. And he paid him $300. He was like, I'm going to give you $300 right now. I want it mastered and done tonight. We're going to play it in the club. I'm not even an established artist.

You know what I'm saying? So it was pretty crazy. It was kind of from the start, it's been a dream, you know? Yeah. So I was just surrounded by the right people. And he did that. And we got the mix, and it played in a ton of video on Facebook and Roundup. They played it the first night.

And ever since then, it kind of just took off. After that, I asked me, I was like, hey, lo me $5,000, man. I'm working for you. Give you $500 back a week. And let's do this, man. he said, all right, try to give him the money. And he was like, oh, man, I'm good right now, man. You know what I mean?

I was like, all right, man. And who is he's talking about? Nelson Johnson. Johnson. Okay. He's the bank. Yeah. He's the bank role. He's the guy that started my career.

He started my career. He's a brother, man. You know what I mean? He doesn't support me no more only emotionally and physically his brother. Not financially. That's what that's the most. You know what I mean? And this is all down south, like in Fort Pierce area?

Or is that up here? This is right here in, right here in Cleveland. Oh, really? Right here in Clearwater. Oh, wow. So, yeah. So I was, Fort Pierce is a small town.

If you know where West Palm Beach is, it's probably about 45 minutes. Yeah, yeah, north. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it's not a lot going on there, man.

It's kind of, a lot of people who retire there. It's, it's a small town, but, all the Jewish people that moved down from New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah,

definitely. Yeah, yeah. A lot of New Yorkers. For sure. And they all complain about how the food sucks here. Yeah. Go back to New York. It's not like New York.

Go back to New York. Forest? So what were you doing before you met this dude and started making music? Oh, man, I was fucking, unfortunately, man, I was growing up. I was growing up, I moved out when I was 16 years old and didn't make the right decisions.

And then my father died of a heart attack at 51. I took it really hard and gotten a lot of trouble and went to prison for seven years. Wow. Yeah. So... This is a long time. It was a really long time.

So I went to prison for seven years and through that time, you know, I read a lot. I did a lot of working out. I did a lot of physical healing and mental healing and figuring out what the hell I want to do because when you put yourself in that situation and you just stop and you look around and you see what the hell is really going on, the people I'm around, you're better than that. You know, so I had to make a choice in life and mentally what I wanted to do. You know what I mean? So I knew I wanted to do music and I knew I wanted to do music.

I couldn't just get out and do it. So there were steps to it. So I got out and I had a kid and things were going good and they went bad and you know how it is. So I went to college for two years to be an electrician and I was doing good. I was making great money as a commercial electrician. I just wasn't happy, man. I just something in me was just like, you know, you have to go for what you want, man. And so I had to just quit it all.

And I just took a chance and came here. And I didn't come here for music, but the ultimate goal was, music, but I just had to get to a bigger place where there's bigger people that are networking bigger and bigger situations that are trying to do something, if that makes any sense. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Why'd you get to prison? All right.

So, uh, I, uh, my father died at 51. My mother, my mother just passed away two weeks ago. Oh, shit. I'm sorry to do that. Yeah, that's why I canceled. But before she was alive and, um, it was just my mother and my sister. And, uh, things were kind of rough. And, uh, I didn't make the best choices.

I, I really wasn't there. right in the mind in how my father died. So I talk about embalvin out a little bit. You know, drunk when I missed, I missed the call and everything. So I took a bad and I got involved with the wrong people. I made money and was selling things and, you know. Selling drugs? Yeah, selling drugs, man. And, um, I got a lot of drug dealers on this podcast. Yeah. I'm not a drug dealer. It was a life lesson, you know what I mean? So, um, yeah, so I did that. And then, uh, you know, They wanted me to tell and do all this, and I couldn't do it.

I had a two-year-old daughter. And, you know, my kid's mother wanted me to, you know, she's like, you need to be here. And I just couldn't do it. So I went and did the time, man. So I had seven years, man, you know. What were you slinging? I was selling a little bit of weed and pharmaceuticals, you know what I mean? So a little something.

Okay. No, no. We had one guy on here who got busted with like three pounds of cocaine. Really? It was like 10 keys. Why is he not in prison? He missed the 90s. He missed all the 90s.

He was in prison for 2000s, yeah. Obama party. Crazy motherfucker. Really? Oh, Tampa Tony. Yeah. No, no, I was talking about BB. We've had two guys.

I watched the interview with Tampa Tony. Did you? I was talking about a different guy, but yeah, Tampa Tony too. Oh, yeah, he got a couple of years. That was the 80s, 90s, yeah. Damn, that's wild. So how did, what did you learn from being in prison for seven years.

Like, what was the biggest thing you took away from all that? The biggest thing I learned to be honest? I learned a lot of things, man. I mean, if I want to be honest with you, the biggest thing I learned is every action

that you, every action has a reaction. You know what I mean? In life, you know what I mean? So, like, just the biggest thing I learned and I thought about it, anybody does that, it's been in them circumstances. Like, when you're sitting there and you got seven years,

You can't, there's nothing you can do. You got to do it. You got to make the most of it. You got to be a man and man the fuck up and do that shit. You know what I mean? So, you know what I mean? Like, if I wouldn't have done this, I wouldn't be here. If I didn't do this and you beat yourself up.

So it's a life lesson like before you make a fucking decision, think about that shit. Because there's a reaction to that. You know what I mean? And it's not always the what you want. You know what I mean? Was it tough when you got out? Like, was it a big learning curve for you? Is it like the world different?

I tell you what, man In seven years, I'm sure Oh yeah How old were you first of all When you went in? I was 22 years old Right before I turned 23 Okay, yeah

I got out right Like three weeks before I turned 29 Okay So I spent pretty much My whole 20s in prison I mean shit doesn't change man Girls get pregnant Girls get married

People die New Wendy's go up I mean I mean simple shit like that But the shit It's still The bar scene stays the same It's the same people

just different people if that makes any sense you know what i mean so um the biggest thing that changed for me when it was like awakening is like i went to work release and i did seven years and i i you know very end i had like two months and i was in a work release program i could work i could ride my bike to a job and ride back and make money and they take pretty much all of it but whatever you know you're getting back in society and i was with these group of guys and they're like come on man i just in seven years of prison i'm like all right i'm like looking around I'm scared as hell, man I'm like, I don't, you know, you just feel like a bad feeling

when you go through something like that. So, um, we go to a big intersection and you have to hit the button to cross the main highway. Yeah, yeah. So they're just like, man, fuck it. And they just ride. I'm like, oh, man, I'm just, I'm pressing the button.

You know what I was like totally. I was mind screwed, you know what I mean? So it's kind of, uh, it takes it a while to adapt. You know what I mean? And just not even that with, uh, I had a problem with fighting when I got out. You know what I mean?

Because in prison, who's, yeah, you know what I mean? So in prison, you know, you don't talk shit unless you really mean it and there's consequences

and that's what happens. So after, you know what I mean, like seven years of just doing that, I couldn't really go out, man. You know what I mean? I went back to prison. Yeah. What?

Yeah, I went back to prison, man. You're fighting? Yeah, I was out and I was doing good. I didn't go out one time. And I was with a girl. and I got married and had a son, had a place. I was working doing AC, probably doing 70 hours a week, and I got into an argument with her.

It was one year from me getting out of prison. And, you know, it just, I decided to drink that night, and I drank, and she just, that, that, that, that. And I was like, you know what? Fucking done, man. I'm fucking done. You know what I mean? Like, I fucking done everything as a man and done every single fucking thing.

I'm just done. I got in the car and I went for a ride and I ended up I knew a girl that bartended somewhere so I went up there had to drink and I'm just being real with you guys

this is my life you know this is what you wanted so I went up there and I had a bottle I was doing a lot of steroids then I was working out I wasn't partying so I was really into that

I was like my getaway from everything so I was up there and I was having a drink next thing you know there's a dude talking shit he's like so loud he's like

Like you can't hear him, but you can see his mouth and shit. And I'm like, oh, what the fuck this dude's fucking trying me right now? I can't fucking get out of here, man. You know what I mean? I fucking go out one night. You know what I mean? One fucking night. You know what you expect?

It's a bar in Florida. So come to find out. Come to find out. He was with my ex. So he knew who I was. Oh, shit. Yeah, he was with my ex. And I didn't know that until later.

But I told the bartender, I said, hey, man, I got to get out. I'm going to fuck this dude up, man. And she's like, Seth, just fucking go. I haven't seen you. you're doing you look great you're fuck just go you're drunk i was like all right give me one more shot more beer i'm out of here she's like no go now i was like no i'm not leaving until i get one more shot one more beer i was mad you know yeah so uh so uh i fucking i took the shot in the beer and i fucking put the money on the table i went to walk away and i heard he like screamed above and i was

like i got to say something so i walked over and i was like hey man i didn't make a scene or nothing i was like hey man you got a problem uh you know you want to come my side and him and like a fucking man, then that's what it is, man. And he's, like, all scared and shit. I just walk out, and he starts screaming. Next thing, the bouncers run up. They pull me out. The bouncer punches me in the mouth.

I get into the bouncer. I go back to jail. I go back to prison for a year, violated my probation. Yeah. So I went back to prison for a year, man, and going back after doing seven years for something that was just, like,

I wasn't really doing nothing. I was just, you know what I mean? I was like, this shit, there's no room for error. You know what I mean? Like, there's no room for air. There's no room for error, man. Like, hang out and have a good time, but don't, don't let your mind put you in a situation that you can't get out of.

And that's what the circumstances in that night was. You know what I mean? So I had to, that was like the real, real awakening man. So I got it. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? So I got out. And that's when I really, when I got out of that second time, that's when this happened when I met Nelson.

I already knew Nelson. You know what I mean? He came through. He was doing his business and everything. And he went to prison for seven years. You know what I'm saying? You two? Yeah, yeah.

Damn. Lucky seven. Did you meet him in there? No, no. I met him to a really good friend, Jeremy, man. And just tied in through people. And he, this guy right here, man, he kind of, he paid the way for me, man. You know what I mean?

I messed up. I messed up. You two are the last two motherfuckers I want to run into in prison. I've never been there, but I can't imagine. Yeah, man. Wow. That's wild. Are you doing music when you're locked up and stuff back then?

Yeah, man. It's actually a funny story because no one can ever say anything bad about me in prison. I owe money. I didn't fight. I was just me. You know what I mean? Like, you got to put yourself, really think about it.

You're in prison. Let's take all this shit away the world, your show, your show, all this shit. You did whatever. You fucking left here. We had some drinks and you killed somebody on the way home on an accident. God forbid. And you're going to prison for seven. years. And you're at prison, what are you going to do? What's your mindset?

Fuck it, man. I'm not going to fucking let nobody fucking try me. I'm going to fuck. I'm not trying to cause no trial. I'm trying to do my time. But I'm not a fucking bitch. And I'm going to fucking, you know what I mean? Like, you know what I mean? So when you go into that, you go into that and you fucking, you have that mindset, man. And if you don't have that mindset, then it's bad, it's bad time. You know what I mean? And it's just bad time. And he, can vouch for that man it's it's it's you have to you got to know how to hold your own man yeah and um be and not be i wasn't gang bang i wasn't doing another night i was just i was a tattoo man i worked out and i walked all over and you talk about singing in prison yeah i wrote songs and i brought

that up to say this because the black guys at first hated me yeah because i walked around and say but hey man out on my road oh yeah country i walk oh my motherfucker they're probably get the fuck out of here i'm doing push-up i'm doing push-up i'm in my head head. I'm in my head because when in prison you have to learn how to get this country motherfucker out of it. At first they do. Cracker shut your fucking ass up. Fuck you, man. That's what I'm doing, man. You want to

do my time? All right, fuck you, man. I keep doing it. And after a while I say, you know what, I'm going to write a song. I told my bunky that he had life. And he said country boy, I think you will write a song. And I was like, I'm going to fucking write a song. And I wrote a song. And then I started

singing it. And then next thing you know, I'd be sitting on my bunk and I'd be writing, I'd be writing music. No, like, not out here with beats or anything. It's in your head. You have to just write. So, uh, people go, hey, hey, they all get smoke and get high and shit. And then they'd be like, hey, white boy, play that country shit force real quick. Oh, yeah. Then they want to hear it. Country shit for us real quick. So, you know, it's like, I was like, hey, man, I can make these motherfuckers like this shit. Right. I think I got some going on. You know what I mean?

So, because I wrote from the heart. I always write from the heart. Yeah. Everybody's not going to like a song. And it takes. me a long time to do a song only because I have so many good people behind me. Like I got luxury for us or he's a singer-songwriter. And I know he looks like Usher. I'm not bringing a surprise artist. I was going to say it looks like Zatovina. I'm not bringing a surprise.

He kind of like a buff Zatowler. Singer-songwriter, singer-songwriter. Y'all know Kenny Moss from Resented. Yeah, we know Kenny. Nelson. So I have a team and Pete's not here. I have a big team behind me. So I do a song and I let every single one of them hear through all the stages of it.

Yeah. and I might love it and they'll be like nah you guys are a team and we argue they'll be like well if you don't want to fucking hear my fucking advice then fucking all city you know what I'm like this is fucking great and they're like nah so I try to take it all with all these intelligent this power

powerful circle I have around me and that's why it takes me so long but I write the songs from my heart man and anybody that just I hate I hate man I hate anybody that says they're artists and they just jump out out of album in two weeks three weeks if a month or whatever and just put

anything down. It just sounds good. You had to fucking make that shit sound good. We were writing a song last night, man. And we were, we were hanging out. We were hanging out, man. We were... We were vibing hard. We were vibing hard. I was looking at your Facebook live video where you guys were hanging out. That was it. Yeah. That was it. Yeah. We were writing a song last night. We wrote a song, well, halfway through the song last night.

So he's gonna branch out. He's in resonated. So he's gonna do a solo song with me. Kenny Mullins and Seth Anthony. We're gonna do like a little hip shit, man. Oh yeah. So it's about writing from the heart, man. and it's not about I don't want to say

it's not about the fans but if you you have to write from your heart and then the people would just love it you know what I mean like if it's good Are there any artists

that you kind of like look up to that you kind of like model yourself after that you kind of like I want to be like this dude mixed with this dude is there anything like that or not? I can break that I could break that down in every

in every genre classic country like country everybody knows Garth Brooks George Strait old country Wynley Jennings, Hank Williams Jr. David Allen Coe.

I love David Allen Coe. I got the Hank 3 shirt for you. Fuck yeah. I love Hank, man. That's my favorite country singer. I love Hank 3. I sing Hank man. I love Hank.

I don't like that fucking pop country though. I like that fucking pop-rock country, you got to have some kind of fucking pop country in there, man. Like Luke Bryan. You're that guy that goes on the, on the internet and fleece his dirty-ass comments of a little country motherfucker. I'm not in the fucking. What the fuck, bro?

I'm on here, me. music, Danny. I'm not an internet troll. I'm not internet trial. I just fucking love Hank 3. I mean, it's like my favorite country dude, but I mean, respect to all the time of the country. Hank the third is great. Wheeler Walker. But Hank Williams Jr. is the guy. Of course. Right. All right. So let's just put it that way. Right, right. I was introduced a country through Hank 3. That's how I kind of like into the game. Well, of course. Because how old are you? I'm 30. 31. 31. So you're right around the age as me, man. So yeah, I heard Hank 3rd, but I grew up on hanging was junior because of my father. Okay. So I didn't even, I knew hanging was junior before I

to hang the third. You know what I mean? So it's hard when you, it's different. I'm a, I'm a country poser because I, you know, you came in through the original guy. No, there's no country poser, man. Look what I'm wearing right now.

Look, do I look like a fucking redneck? Look, I'm wearing fucking flip-flops, man. Backboard shorts. Yeah. I know, I'm not a redneck, man. I'm a country boy, man. I grew up in the country. God bless my mother.

Hell, yeah. That's what's up. You ever thought about, like, collabing with, like, a hip-hop artist or anything, like some Old Town Road shit? Old Town Road. What do you think of that song? I fucking love it. Okay.

I like it too. You should fucking like it. What do you think about, what do you think about Lil Hank? The little yodel boy. The Walmart Yodel kid? I couldn't even tell you the fuck that. Really?

Oh, I wish you had a TV we could pull it up. I do. I do. You need to have a fucking screen here. Are you talking about the guy who doesn't say actual words? No, he was the kid. He was yodeling in Walmart. They made the viral video about it.

And then he was in fucking Coachella. And you know what I think about that? Good for him. It's over with. What's he going to do next? I don't know. Yeah. It was like one song.

I want to get him on a 20 seconds. Thank you. Thank you for entertaining me for 30 seconds in my life. But then, what are you doing after that? So I don't follow with people. Nowhere. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, it just fucking, it's a fucking, it's, it's realism, man. Fucking do you want to fight? You know, people, getting into the music industry, I thought it was so easy

and I was so blind to this shit, man. And I went through a lot of fucking trials and tracts and tracts and tripes and fucking dumb shit, man. I had this dude fucking literally. He was investing in me. He gave me $500 to $1,000 a week cash to live. Fucking paid for a house for six months.

Paid for my... Everything. Just because he believed in me, because first of all, I want to tell any artists that watched this, you believe in yourself enough, you can make somebody believing you put money into you meet the whole world believe.

And that's fucking truth. Positivity, man. Got to try it out there. It's facts. It's facts of life. All right. So if you believe in that shit and you live that shit and you really dedicate yourself to that shit,

it will fucking, it will manifest for you, man, I promise you. That's a little knowledge I want to job for you, man. Oh, yeah. But I met this fucking dude right here, man, and he did all that for me. And, you know, about, what, four months into it,

you know, I didn't think it was going to go that fast. Yeah. No one does. It kind of has blown up pretty fast. So what, in a couple months? Oh, dude. You're just, you know, I just have,

I got the cameras real quick. I got the perfect people around me right now that have me to a point where everybody's knowledgeable in their own degree. You see what I'm saying? We have a perfect circle. We were talking about this. When you have a perfect circle

where everybody just does their own fucking job in their role, things work like an old machine. You know what I mean? So when you don't have that, you're overworking yourself and you're stressing yourself out and you're not getting productivity

as much done as it could be. You know what I mean? So you hurt and you lack in errors where you have a strong team. And things are going right. And everybody's not fucking up. People are going to fuck up. But you keep each other up. That's why in the beginning I just, I jumped so fast.

And I made a lot of bad decisions that I'm glad I made them. We talked about this because if I would have made them later in the game, it would have fucked me up. It would have hurt me. Yeah. Because I made them so early in the game. I mean, I fucked up. Yeah.

I was going out and fucking spending $300 a night. at a bar and ended up in fucking who fuck knows where with fucking females and fucking you know what I mean I was just fucking I was like hey but I would always show up but I'd always show up to do my music but people knew they were like hey you fucking

look like shit yeah you're here but fucking you know what I mean like what the fuck have you been doing bro like are you fucking do you want this or you want to fucking party and mess around with girls bro and I'm like no I'm just I'm here and I just kept going and I fucked up so much that this guy picked me up I went to

his house and he told me not to I'm not going to need her name because it's going to fucking cause a lot of shit. But this is a girl. And he told me not to, you know, just be with her for that night and do my thing. And I didn't. I didn't listen, bro, you know, and I just kept, I was still doing my music and I bought her around. Next thing you know, she's around. He gets wind up, but he's like, oh, yeah, yeah.

Come over to the crib, man. Come over to the house. Oh, non-shal. This is why I fuck with this dude, man, because he's real. Yeah. So he pulls me over. We're drinking. We're hanging out.

we're doing all this shit, man. So he's like, hey, man, he's got an AMG, fucking rent tech all hooked up. Fucking scariest car I've been in, man. Almost fucking killed me on fucking Clearwater. Motherfucker, man. 760 or, I don't even know what the fuck it is, man. Fucking scary-ass fucking car, man. You know what I mean?

So he's like, get in the car, man. He just, fuck, just come with me. I'm like, all right. I get in the car. I got the beer. I'm like, hell yeah, bro. I'm about to go do this show. He goes, bah!

He slams on the fucking brakes. I'm going to slap my head on the fucking thing. he's like, you think this shit's fucking sweet, bro? I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like, what the fuck's going on? He's like, boy, you think it's sweet. I'm giving you money.

I'm doing this. I'm paving your fucking career. You got talent. You know, you don't want to fuck? You think you're going to spend my money and just go hang the fuck out. He checked me and left me right there. And I still love him. I still love him.

I love him and I respect him to this day because that's what I needed. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because I was fucking, you got to think when you, when you come from nothing, man, and fucking and do something. go so fast, you kind of get caught up in that vibe of that stream, just like, of things going on and everything. And it's not, it's not good, man, you know what I mean?

Because you're just going to ruin your career. Either if you're drinking too much, you're partying too much, spending too much money, you're spending too much money, you're spending too much money on music, whatever the fuck it is, man, you know what I mean? So he checked me on that and it was fucking, I was, and I didn't even, the way he checked me was so masculine, like, motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? It was like some real shit.

And I was like, all right, he's for real. He's obviously for real. You know what I mean? I don't think he's playing. So, damn, I'm fucking up for him to be this serious. And, you know what I mean? And I have not stopped talking to for any reason. And any time he flips out on me like that, I fucking, I know there's a reason behind it.

You know what I mean? So I'm not perfect. You're not perfect. Nobody's fucking room is perfect, man. And doing what I'm doing, even which I respect you guys, man. Shout out to you guys. what, 220,000 subscribers

or something like that? Something like that. I look, man. It's growing. That's a big shoutout right there, man. There's nothing quick, though. It took, taking us years. Okay.

What I'm saying right now, it took learning and doing things. You know what I mean? Kenny told me last night, he said, Seth, man, people ask me all the time. I've been a musician

forever. I toured nationally everywhere. You're my manager, and you live the same life as me. Our life is like a pinball machine. Explain how did you guys meet Kenny? We know you're in you guys since high school When you're in like emo band

Hey with Mikey With Mikey three times fast I think it was called How did we meet? Actually a buddy I went to high school with I don't think you guys know him I asked you before But Naron Conner's brother

One of the team members I guess you could call him He hit me up on Facebook And was like, yo man, I got this, I got a buddy of mine who's a country artist and I want to write some music. We were trying to, he's moving over here. So I thought about you. So I was like, okay, cool. Yeah, man, bring him over. I got a bunch of sessions open. I've been doing a lot of co-writes. So he came over. Actually, I usually try to listen to the music, try to figure out what the vibe is a little bit and try

to merge my, you know, fingerprint on it. Yeah. With what he's trying to go for. and I had like this song written, like halfway written, and Seth came over one night. You know, he was rowdy. I mean, I didn't know what I was getting into, you know what I mean? Because I never worked with a roughneck country. Are you trying to sound rowdy, bro? Oh, get the fuck out of you.

A little bit, right. So I try to keep him in line. I'm like, I was just telling him on the way. You know, like, we're the yin and the yang. You guys got a completely separate audience. I mean, you're like resonated as like reggae pop, right? Yeah, yeah. It's like pop reggae stuff.

But, I mean, I write with soul artists. I write with R&B, rock, pop, whatever. Anyways, he comes over. I met him that night at my house. We had a session, and we just wrote a banger song, and it was just on from there.

He was coming over to actually just write with me. He's like, bro, fucking, how'd you do this, bro? You fucking, you're the man. You could be my manager, man. I'm like, well, I don't know, maybe. You know, like, I'm thinking in my head, I'm like, this is just like kind of, You know, you meet a lot of people.

You write with, you hang out with, you know, you create something. And you create something and you get like into that shit. Right. You're into that. Like, I can't explain it unless, you know, you're like how you guys are into this. You know, you guys are into that shit. So I knew that it was like something good. I didn't even really listen to any of the, like, look at the views and the stuff like that.

I listened to the songs. I wasn't looking at it that way. I was just looking at could I vibe with this, you know? And we vibe first night. moved on to another song. And all of a sudden, you know, three months later, he's living at my house. He's living in the studio. Yeah.

And... Loving in the studio, Ralph. That's the way to do it. So we've got to spend a lot of time together. And he's definitely, you know, he's got a lot of motivation. I see that, you know, like he was saying earlier, you get people to believe in you. Like, I know the feeling as an artist, you know, I've been in this game for a long-ass time. And I've realized that my strong point is writing, you know, I love to.

traveling. I've seen, I've been to tons of places, played a lot of awesome venues, played with tons of awesome bands and stuff. But my real passion is just writing music, you know, so that came along and then I... No doorbells. Yeah, I had a bunch of buddies who jammed, and I know tons of musicians, because, you know, I do the jams and stuff. Right, everywhere. Blues jams, funk jams, you know, reggae jams, whatever. So I know tons of musicians. He's like, yo, I'm moving, you know, I need a band. I want to really do this. I was like, so you're not, you know, not trying to just put out music on your own. You really want to be a, you know, have a band.

So I connected them with a band. They rehearsed to my house. You know, I don't even think we tried out anybody. I think it was the first guys. I was like, these are the guys. I kind of went there rough, man. I went there. I was like, uh.

Yeah, so they, you know, they spoke to bowl and I was like, hey, what's up, guys? We're going to fucking play this music. He showed up late because that's how you do it. You got to show up late. Yeah. No, they, uh, they, they, they, they vibed it. They're, you know, they practice all, you know, at the crib. at the studio and

and then, you know, he's like, I'm, he was working in Spring Hill or, you know, with Nelson, right? Working with you? I was working in Spring Hill. I was him before. Oh, okay, okay, okay. So, yeah, so then he moved in and we just, you know,

and Vibin, got him an agent. So now he's booking shows. He's got, you know, we just confirmed. Oh, yeah. Shout out to Georgia. Here in what. Georgia. We're going to Georgia.

June and June. June 14th and 15th. I'll be in Statesboro and Civil. in Savannah, Georgia. Nice. What I mean? Daytona, Stuart Florida, California.

We're going all over, man. So, yeah. So this year's going to be a fucking fun-ass year, man. You know what I mean? I've been telling people on Facebook for like, fucking eight months. I'm like, I'm coming out of Florida.

I'm coming. Are you guys working on? Like an album or anything? What are you guys working on right now? A bunch of singles? How does it work? You guys just like put together bunch of singles?

I feel like we had a different mindset at first. I think Seth needs an album. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because there's a lot of good hype on the singles and stuff. Yeah. But it doesn't have to be anything like super long or anything, but I think an album would be easy to knock out pretty ten songs.

Ten songs. You know, just like working on an album right now. We already got probably half of it done. Yeah, we got half the album done. So, I mean, literally in this next like three weeks, we're probably going to be sitting there with a guitar, jamming out me and him and cranking out the rest of these songs. and then make some demos.

I'll go to Orlando and Mike Steve. Yeah. So, like, you guys remember smoke signals, Resonita, Sita Fiva, all that. Yeah, yeah. So that producer, he's now the drummer for the Lacks. You know, the Lacks? I've heard of him.

Who's the Lacks? Mike, Steve, the Lacks. They're country rappers. Okay. Yeah, they're really blowing up right now. I just kind of utilize my connections. Right. I was like, do I know any country hookups?

Like, maybe, you know, and are you playing the guitar on the music? No, no, I just write. I just write. Who's playing, is there guitar? There's guitar. They're not here right now. They're all sitting musicians. Okay, I got you.

I got you. Like hired on the spot pretty much for most of the stuff. Okay. The stuff that I did with Seth, I did guitar on. But it's a lot of collaboration and back and forth and stuff like that. So you guys are all there together at the same time, just like. No, no. Like, we'll write a.

song together and then it'll maybe be him and someone else in the room next time. Okay. And then we'll share mixes and stuff like that until everybody's happy. Kind of like we was saying earlier and, you know, just like get it where it needs to be. And that's what I'm, that's what I do. You know what I mean? Like that's where I come in, you know, like I work with a lot of different pop artists and not necessarily country, but now that I've dipped into it, I've developed a ton of relationships

with people. and it really just comes down to making the best song and if it's not with these guys maybe you can write a great song but it's not produced right you know what I mean

so there's different different elements to it you can write a great song on guitar and then take it to this producer it costs you all this or it doesn't cost you that and you get what you're not really expected so it's kind of like

the fact is make a fucking song like Old Town Road I mean just fucking make some simple stupid. Right. Yeah. It's fucking sad to say, man. It's really fucking sad to say. That's what catches on. I mean, you know what I'm saying. It's sad. No, if anybody can

vouch for this, the man sitting in the middle of the fucking couch will fucking vouch for this and he gets so angry. Why haven't us three done something? We should do it. We should do a song together. I'm trying to bring him a little bit out of like soul kind of R&B country vibe. I don't do so on all.

But you know what? Last night, he was doing it. And then he gets he could do it I can do it I can do it but fucking old town road is just think about it it's so fucking simple and basic

but you know what people want people want something catchy yeah and something they don't hear a whole bunch of words and they can sing along to and know the words so when they're in their fucking car

they can jam the fuck out or when they hear they're like oh shit and they fucking jam out this fucking dumb ass bar where they're drinking margaritas or what the fuck you're at you know he talks

go Tuesday. I don't give a fuck. Wherever you're at. Sitting at Applebee. You know what you get a fuck. You hear that song, you get hyped because you know the words is catchy beat. It's simple music and that's what's selling, bro. And it's sad to fucking say, like, people, like, anybody that does music, it's like it's selling out. You know

what, man? I wrote a song, I'm in it for the money. Because everybody's fucking talking about, I'm in it for the fans, I'm doing, I'm doing this, I'm doing that. You know what? I'm not going to name the artist, but I've hit up a lot of artists, man, that are in the game. And I talk to I'm gonna say, hey man, look what I'm doing. Look at my views. Look at what I'm doing.

I'm only year in this shit, man. Watch what I do, man. I want to do a song with you. I like your music. And 75% of them come back with, all right, I'm down. But, you know, I don't do features for free. So you're not in it for the fans. You're not in for the love of music.

You're not in for that. So I made a song. I'm in a foe of money. I'm in a foe to girls. You know what I mean? I'm gonna keep it real. I'm gonna keep it real. Like, what are you in it for?

You're in it for that motherfucking money. And you're in it for the women. And the fucking fame, I don't really give a fuck about the money to fame anything. I want to live a good life. I don't want to have to hurt for anything. And let's just be real. Nobody does. You know what I mean?

I don't have to be like, hey, fuck, man. I don't want to stress about no, Bill. I just want to sing my music, man, and make people relate to it. And it's nothing, it's no high I've ever been on, like being on a stage, man. And singing a song. And seeing people just, you fork stage or just happiness, man. And just loving it. And just fucking loving it, man, that just brings a high to me.

That it just motivates me. Fuck the money. Fuck all this shit. And I love the money. I'm in it for the money. All right. That's fucking, fuck you. You know what I'm saying?

Right. You come to your job for free? No, you don't. Okay, then. That's my job. All right? I need to fucking get paid. All right?

So, well, I mean, I love the fans, man. And it's a high that it brings such joy to me, man, that I've never felt my life. Man, I've been through a lot of fucking shit, man. And it just does. I get excited about it. This fucking guy. everybody in this fucking besides him,

as Sean's brother, he hasn't met me that much. Every single person in this room has probably hated me and loved me at the same time. I promise you. I'm a full-fledged character. I really am.

I'm a full-fledged character. People don't know how to react to me. They're like, who the fuck is this fucking guy? I just told him today that we should do some kind of cartoon with all his personalities.

I'm telling you, man. I know a couple guys. I know a couple guys. Right. I fuck it. I'm in a photo of money. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you can do it.

Hey, so what was the first show like? You haven't been doing shows too long, right? Oh, yeah, man. I just started doing shows last year, man. So what was your first one? My first one was Ogachobi, Stampede. And for a night that they had nobody there, we had a pretty good turnout. And it was my first show when I played with the band, not my band, but the band that I record my music with.

And they were like, this is your first fucking show? Are you nervous? No, I didn't tell them that. Yeah. I just fucking did the fucking show. I drink about four. I drink like two shots of Jameson and about three budd lights. And I'm whether I killed that fucking shit.

Yeah. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? I didn't tell them that. Okay. Because if you do that, then you're fucking, you're putting doubt in the fucking artist. You know what I mean?

Like, oh, fuck. Now they're worried about, am I going to fucking be on in Q? No, don't tell them that. I'm so professional, they're like, they think I'm a seasoned vet, motherfucker. You know what I mean?

I go up there and do my motherfucking thing. You know what I mean? Like, fuck it. You know what I mean? So I went up there and fucking, I sang that. shit and I clapped all her hands. I gave me each money and I was like,

hey, this is my first show. This is your first fucking show? I was like, yeah. They're like, what the fuck? And I was like, yeah, man, this is my first show. Yeah, that's what the fuck, man. And the next show was a fucking blank. It was fucking horrible.

Yeah, people got fired. It was horrible. I was lost an investor. It was fucking, you know, but you got to do that. You have to do that as being an artist, man. If you don't have a story to tell, this is, this is how I look at it in my life. Anytime I get down on myself,

I'm a positive thinker, man. And I just saying, even when I'm in the rut, and I'm in the rut, and I don't think I can get out, I fucking think of some positive shit and I get myself out, man, because I think about it like this,

if there was no story to tell on the way to the top to make a music, you're not fucking interesting to me. You know what I mean? If this shit was just handed to you, like, hey, see this shiny rock? If you hold this rock, you're on the radio,

and I just hand it to you and you hold it. You're going to be like, you're on the radio. Cool. Who the fuck are you? Fuck you, you know what I mean? Like, I don't go to fuck about you in your glasses.

Don't wear a sweater. You're going to rock. Oh, shit. It's going on. I don't fucking care. You know what I mean? Like being honest, you know what I'm saying?

You have to go through that shit, man. You have to fucking sleep on couches and eat ramen fucking noodles after fucking prison. And that's ridiculous to get where you're going and fucking do things and fucking be a mess and fucking be all over the place. And that's what you have to do, man. You know what I mean? Like a lot of people, every single person I've noticed,

and I research everybody I'm like YouTube stalker man I research people that are successful and then I go outside of YouTube and I research them and every single person that has been successful with music acting anything has either known somebody and got them the fuck in there

or they fucking went through the ringer man and they didn't quit because you know what no matter how many times you fail you keep going you see what I'm saying and the motherfucker that just quit is you're working on you're nothing. If you're working when you're not nothing, I don't want to say that because people take that the wrong way.

If you work in 9 and 5 and you're happy with that? Not what you were trying to do that. I'm not trying to do that. I don't want to go on vacation once a month and fucking and work a week-to-week paycheck and pay my mortgage and fucking goddamn the fucking radio broke on the fucking truck, babe. Fuck, you know what I'm saying? Like, all this dumb shit, I don't want to do that. I have potential to do something different. So I have to fail,

fail, fail, feel, feel, and I have been not feeling, but I'm going to fail. I'm going to fail. Something's going to have happen and I'm going to fail, but it's not going to fucking set me nowhere. I'm not going to get upset because when I fail, I boost up and I learn all the mistakes, and I don't make the mistakes no more, and I fucking go forward. And that's what it's about. That's life, man. It's energy.

You know what I'm saying? It's some shit that a lot of people don't get. You know what I mean? Like, it's, it's serious shit, man. What's been the key of your success so far, though? Because you're, you're blowing up now, you're doing really well. So what are you even doing that's working? To be honestly, man, keeping positive positive people around me, man. You know what I mean?

Like all these dumb sayings that people, that people, uh, you hear through all growing up in it, birds of a flag are fucked together. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's truth.

Fuck together. No. It's that, it's that, it's that, it's a vodka. It's a vodka. Flok fuck.

Tomato tomato. Birds of a feather flock together. Yeah, yeah. All right. So, um, you know,

it's, use that as an analogy of positive people and bad people. Right. Everybody in this room has negative people in their fucking life. Either it's a family member, a homeboy, anything, man. And I don't give a fuck who you are, how big you are, how small you are. You have that. You have positive people and negative people.

If you don't have that much positive people in your life, well, then fuck you. Be by yourself until you find more positive fucking people and stay on the right track, man. You know what I'm saying? Because if you go back, because it's easy to go to negative people, man. I'm telling you, life experience, man. It's very easy, man, to do dumb shit, to make money or hang out and just, get in trouble, man. You know what I mean? That's deferring me from where the fuck I'm going with anybody, man. And I preach that because I believe that so much. And take it from a guy

that fucks up a lot, man. Yeah. Take it from a guy that fucks up more than you fucking know. I don't let it be seen because I have an image to keep. Yeah. I don't let my fucking personal shit when I fuck up. Who would? You know what I mean? I fuck up. You know what I mean? But guess what? I'm going to take my horse to the whole town road. I'm going to ride. I till I can't no more I'm gonna take my horse I'm gonna get back on that road man I'm gonna keep going bro

I'm trying to tell you I'm not stopping So you got to drive You yeah you gotta have that What the fuck are you doing? Yeah What are you doing? What are you doing?

A little bit of confidence A little bit of drive And a little bit of vodka It's all you need man Usually it's whiskey But this Oh really This fucking guy over here

You know I'm trying to quit drinking me So why your videos Why your video's blowing up so much Like your music videos Oh Fucking going crazy What was that like

What was that like What the fuck? mean. Yeah. Fuck the fuck. I thought I was too. My shit ain't blowing up like that. No,

so, uh, no, um, I got the best, uh, uh, marketing guy in Florida,

man. And I was blessed, like back to what I was saying with the perfect circle, man. Fucking, these fucking, this fucking guys, he's on point,

man. So, uh, he's got a good team. Yeah. I have a good team, man. You know what I mean?

That's what, when I went to this and I took it serious, man, I, I had to take a step back. And, you know, I've been the more flawed guy out of the circle than anybody.

You know what I mean? So if that's the situation, that's a good thing. Yeah. You straighten yourself up and correct the little things here and there. But you know what I'm saying? So it's just, you know, me with just me dealing with my own shit and fucking, you don't understand. This thing has literally came overnight, you know what I mean? So me just doing music and even doing this shit right here.

Him being my manager, him in my life, these people in my life, this just came like, overnight. So, you know, I don't stop thinking. I'm a thinker. So I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking. But I'm not thinking. Someone shit is going on. It's almost like I'm not thinking. That makes any sense. Like, I'm just like, kind of like rolling

with it. You know what I'm just like? I got to go here. I got to do this. I got so much shit. So I got off track a lot and did a lot of stupid shit. Made not stupid decisions, but not the correct decisions. And it fucked up things, but it was supposed to happen, man. what I believe, man. They'll fall into place. It is. It is. I mean,

things are supposed to fuck up for a reason. There's always doors opening in life. You know what I'm saying? People aren't awoke to nothing. People probably think I'm crazy for talking like this, but I'm so I'm not crazy. You know what I mean? So I just used it in my life and I know

it works. Doors open in your life, man. And if you don't take that door, don't get discouraged and go back to the bullshit because there's always going to be a door opening. You know what I mean? Like, you have to take the door and that door release in one other door man and it's what you put into it

is what you're gonna receive so you know what I mean so I know when I'm fucking up and I know what I'm drinking too much or I'm not concentrating enough and it weighs on my conscience because I've trained myself to do that you know what I mean

and once you put yourself into that element man to doing something I don't go to fuck what you want to do if you want to build that I keep going back to this fucking stupid as glowing rock which I like this rock I'm gonna take this rock I'm gonna take the rock

if I want to take the rock If I wanted to build this fucking rock, and I'd just say, I like the rock. I'll be like a night like. So if I want to build this rock, yeah, all right, literally think about this with your mind. I want to build this,

I have an idea with a glowing fucking rock, and I want to build this, and it's going to cost me fucking 233 or fucking 433 to fucking make it, and you do all this and you put your mind to it, you're going to fail. That's fucking life.

You're going to fucking fail. But guess what? If you reconstruct it and you do it fucking right, you will not fail. And I'm not saying how fast- Maybe. Maybe it needs a fucking light bulb in it. You know what I'm saying? That's the cheaper way, right?

I'm not having the LED in there. Fuck the LED. We're putting a regular light bulb in that bitch, bro. You know what I mean? Like, it's just fucking life, dude. You know what I mean? So I do music. So I fucking, I fail and I fucking learn.

I'm like, fuck. He can't even deal with me, bro. I'm trying to tell you, I wish I had a GoPro. This guy right here, he's like... I fuck with him. This guy's like right here. He's like, I can't fucking deal with this dude, man. You know what I mean?

Like I can't get you two all over the place, Seth. And I'm like, I just got to figure it out. So like you, you've hit it. Obviously you've hit like a certain level, like a pretty high level so far. Like you've started to take off online. People are noticing you. So like what like in a certain time frame, whatever that may be? Like what's like the next step?

What's the next level that you want to hit that you have like in sight right now? That's a big question, man. To me personally, um, I say true, man. So I'm going to say true to. the people that it's you know this is fucked up man because the music industry man is so political and people don't even fucking realize it man you know what I mean like there's so much things that go into it that you don't realize until you do music man on a big scale you can fucking release a song put on I mean like career wise like what's the next level like career

wise money wise like like well with the top bro yeah I mean well you got to take it step by step though right you just want to shoot straight to the top or it's not going to happen that because I'm a realistic dude yeah right this dude let's cut the bullshit man this dude's going to This dude's got to like, so we just got this agent, I think developing like true, like organic fans seeing him live.

Look, see the name. Look it up, man. I'm about to go on shows. I got shit going on. I'll have somebody come pick me up.

You know what I mean? He's like, because you're real with me, I'm going to let you go. I was like, bet, bro. I was like, so I park it right there?

man. I was like, what? I was like, come man. Fucking, they ended up taking me to jail, man. So I went to jail for a couple weeks, man. And nobody knew. Nobody ever even knew that. This is the first time anybody's ever known that, you know what I mean? Because everybody thought it was just out, I had the video dropping still.

Who's the first person you called when you got locked up? Kenny? No comment, no comment, man. No comment. All right. We don't have to say her name. The girl from the comment? No. So, uh, yeah, man.

Oh, shit. She was probably calling the jail. You're looking for you? No, she don't like me. She friend requests me. I didn't. We need to get the, uh, the St. Pete crowd up, uh, up on the country vibe for our hell yeah, we do.

We do. Yeah, there's not much country going around. We're doing, we're doing, the block parties, right? Can we get them on a fucking block party at Mad Beach Park Party? Janice, though. Well, actually, I've been talking to, um, A, G, which is, uh, you know, they do. buyers for like Janus and stuff. Yeah.

We're talking about doing a summer show at Janus for Seth. Hell yeah. We had one offer, but I think we were already doing something. So we just kind of waiting for that. We're using the same buyers for resonated since we already got that relationship. I kind of like. Just get them. Yeah.

You say buyers? Honestly, buyers like talent buyers. You know, like, so basically like when you have a show, like you have like somebody you find investors basically talent buyers so bit like if you have if you want to put on a show right cost i don't know yeah right you got to rent the place yeah you're into place uh you're promoter i mean it's a promoter like they like to be called talent buyers and promoters like the shun name i feel like these days but like but yeah there it's not in the in the world in that town buyers by the talent they agree to a deal and then whatever they make on that deal they walk away with so

in a small nutshell um but yeah we're looking at a summer summer late late summer or date at Janice. So we're going to be doing something in St. Pete. Let's get it. Hell yeah. Let's get it. It's going to be right. It's fun.

So when are you going to release the next? When's the next track's coming out? You got options. I think. I got options, man. When can the people expect that? I have to release one here in probably about two weeks, man. So I like to keep, I like to keep irrelevant.

So I feel like that's a lot of, a lot of, a lot. It has to do with a lot. lot of... It's all about content. Yeah. People following me, man. Because I steadily put every six weeks, I put on a new video. You know what I mean?

So I'll do a song, do a video. Do a song every six weeks. And it buys me time to make more music. It's like a weird balance between quantity and quality. There's really no... There's really no way to do music, man. If that makes any sense, man. You just fucking do it.

Like, people ask me, like, people that are... There's no, like, like, like, proven strategy as far as releasing content? No, there's not, man. There's not. What it is is you have to just fucking be the best that you can be and fucking just keep releasing content. Unless you're Gucci Man, then you can be locked up.

If you're a Gucci man, then you can just do whatever. You have clones and make music and the clones making music and fucking releasing albums every fucking week. It doesn't matter. I don't even know if it's Gucci anymore, but we're still rocking it, right? It's definitely not having any more. Yeah, fuck it. Cool.

So where can people like follow you? Like people that are watching this? Where can they like find out? You guys can follow me on going YouTube, Seth Anthony. You can go on Facebook, Seth Anthony C.M. You can go on Instagram, Seth Anthony C.M. Don't follow me on Snapchat because I really don't go on there, man. And I think it's kind of lame.

But I still do it when stupid shit happens, man. I feel like the stupid things happen, you put it on Snapchat. It's not professional. So it's kind of personal dumb shit I do. But yeah, Sethanthony.net. You could purchase hat, shirts, beach house, phone. fucking everything book bag, book bags, fucking tote bags, whatever, you know what I mean. Thanks for this badass shirt.
