I can see you love just about
by Internet we said that down down I
came to perform today but I feel like
cause everyone’s speaking and I feel
like I should say a few words and that’s
all right yeah all right yeah all right
that song that I just performed is
called mini valley for those who don’t
know who I am at all see me for the
first time that song is called mini
Valley and the inspiration I got to make
that song
it was I’ve done a show or two Academy
know by the hire anyone from Birmingham
yeah and we sold the out man like we
should be done it ourselves and we sold
it out any thanks without that yeah so
we sold it out and I felt like I felt
like I felt like a champion like wah my
mum was there my dad was there like all
my friends and so you’ve done that I
mean you wake up the next morning and
he’s still feeling like a champion and a
couple weeks later you still feeling
like a champion like sold out of your –
you know I mean so then after a while
like people who are how can I put this
in better positions in you and higher
positions in you and know the industry a
bit better than you they start knocking
now odd apps
wicked wicked yeah you sold out the old
– yeah well what we want to do we want
to sign you now we want to want to take
you on and we feel like yeah if you
joined us we’re the right people for you
so obviously me being me I’m like proper
excited London gotta go Kensington High
Street gotta go gotta go to Universal
Universal want to speak to me so we go
there bring my team bring two other free
brothers so I brought two of them you
know I mean it was about six of us in
the place like I think I kind of start
with the the person he was like whoa you
brought your whole gang I was like oh
they think they follow me you know I
mean so so we had that meeting and it
was like
yeah well we’ve really melodic you like
to sing as well we like that you don’t
swear we really like that and I was like
yeah man
wicked now just say how much you want to
give me so no one no one isn’t saying
anything I then we leave the building
and I’m thinking wow like it’s gonna
happen it’s gonna happen I’ve been the
message my manager about like a couple
days ago oh we don’t know how to help
that’s move-in
he’s already helping himself so you can
imagine like that’s the cue for that oh
and you know yeah yeah yeah
so that happened then I was like nah man
I’ve Stewart champ though because I’ve
still done what I’ve done I can’t forget
that so then after that what happened
was what he called not Sony where did we
go we went somewhere after we went
somewhere after Universal Warner oh my
gosh sorry
Warner Warner Brothers yeah you know you
you know why it took me a bit of a while
cause we’ve been through a few and
you’re gonna understand my point in a
bit I’ve got a couple minutes left so I
gotta hurry up but yeah we went to
Warner and we went to Warner they were
saying the same thing they knew a bit
more though they they had their blinkers
on there was a bit more away but the
same thing happened yeah when you finish
your CD then yeah we’ll take you one but
this is all I do I don’t I don’t this is
my job I don’t have I don’t work this is
this is work so money started to get a
little bit low now because you’re not
making you’re not putting out any music
any more because labels are interested
so you don’t really want to give out
your best music anymore because you’re
thinking all someone’s gonna take it
from me and that’s what we want to do
you know I mean so like not putting
anything out but they keep saying no so
my confidence is draining
I feel sad feel depressed money’s
getting low I’ve got two kids one seven
ones one so like looking after them just
like Nightmare on Elm Street it’s like
and I was starting to think like yo do I
still have the powers like do you like
does anyone even care anymore like the
scenes going on like Birmingham he’s
like really having its time now and I’m
normally like one of the strikers man
for our city like in the sea now I’m in
morph anymore you know I mean I’m not
that Power Ranger anymore and I was
feeling like he’s funny now cuz yeah we
can laugh like he wasn’t funny then you
know I mean it was a bit bit sad so the
moral of the story is cuz I’m here today
talking to you guys he’s like don’t give
up man
because III I was going to like I the
way I was feeling thank you thank you
thank you thank you thank you the way
the way I was feeling I throughout my
life I could cry like he was so sad I
was really down man thinking to myself
you guys are there big bosses like the
big masalas big masala fishes so to
speak and like use that I’m not feeling
what I’m doing what Birmingham fills me
and everyone else feels me so what am I
doing wrong
forget that man they don’t matter don’t
give up do what you want to do and when
when you do do what you want to do like
all these kind of things happen like you
in Hippodrome I’m not talking to all you
