Taking Talent to the World

Speaker 1 0:00

How do you decide on what you're going to do from what you're not going to do? Because I feel like that's also an important thing when it comes to just being creative.

Speaker 3 0:06

Well, that comes from like peer grooming Like my peers being groomed by like my peers. In the sense of what I mean by that is like I grew up around like serious individuals, where I was Ain't really like. No, yes, man, energy and you know, rip to Toy. Toy from Foy Field, like Lala Foy Field, them is people who like see the talent before, like the world, cause I always used to be on them and landing, freestyling and so on. Then one day, toy you know we don't call him Sheik man Sheik man was like I'm mad he can be a landing singer for the rest of your life. Take it to the world like, take it to them Like you're nice, like in his words, you're better than these man, you know. You know you know nothing. Man, we feel like we met today.

Speaker 1 0:49

You can't be there come on, yeah, so that was the energy like I gained.

Advice to Younger Self

Speaker 3 0:54

And one advice he gave to me was like watch, keep it authentic and be you, be true to yourself and don't talk about things you ain't have. Talk about what you want and talk about your aspirations, wow. So from early on he gave me that gem and that's always been like my family, you feel me so that's why my music might be so relatable, even though in a cultural genre, accepted genre based on culture, at least the way how I present it know it's palatable and some people actually could digest it. Powerful, powerful stuff man.

Speaker 1 1:27

And how you continue to stay motivated when things get challenging, especially as an artist just starting out in the early stages. If you could see early Matt Stoney when he decided to take it from the landing to the world, like where's one piece of advice you would give to Matt Stoney at that point, before he started the journey?

Speaker 3 1:44

What is one piece of advice you would give to Matt Stoney at that point, before he start the journey?

Speaker 1 1:47

Don't be so raw, but that's how we are, isn't it?

Speaker 3 1:50

That's what I say to people, yeah, but you know, like when you understand the business, I mean I feel like I was too raw, like real raw, and maybe it worked to my advantage too, eh yeah. But like I say, you said in hindsight, hindsight, which is the greatest gift to man? 2020, 2020, you understand, I would go back and probably like be a little bit more polished, because if I had a little bit more polished approach I would have opened myself to a wider demographic and not just maybe like a niche audience. Yeah, I'd have probably go for maybe the more household route yeah yeah, that would.

New York's Impact on Perspective

Speaker 1 2:25

That's the advice I would give to like my younger self and how you think the transition to nyark informed the music for you oh I just have there's a lot more to talk about.

Speaker 3 2:34

Like I've seen a lot more, you know, bigger perspective, bigger buildings, uh, a melting pot of different cultures, different people. It's just like, oh yeah, everything just small, it's just gargantuan, everything, just just you. Just it's 6'5". I feel like it fit me Like it's like a lot more tall people now. Yeah, so you don't even feel as tall, no more. I don't even feel as tall, no more. It's like it's just yeah. So I feel like it's just a lot of different. You know, like I said, not just true, like different experiences in life, different accomplishments, different failures, you know. So it helped a lot, it helped develop like mudstoneony a lot. Whereas perspective, I could paint a picture in different perspectives now where I feel like I could speak a language that catered to like different walks of people, because I like soak up so much different cultures and you just mentioned failure, right yeah.

Speaker 1 3:36

How do you reinforce your mental fortitude to deal?

Building Mental Fortitude Through Failure

Speaker 3 3:38

with setbacks. To be honest, like growing up, I like anime and it's a debate between if I like Dragon Ball Z or Naruto more Still ain't decided yet, but Naruto being the main protagonist, he was somewhat considered a failure, coming up and then look at what he turned out to be. You feel me so. My mental fortitude also comes from even watching anime. Sometimes, believe it or not, you know like you're going to be rough, but the main protagonist don't get it easy yeah yeah, and I am the main protagonist of my movie and my show.

Speaker 3 4:12

So, no matter what, I have to find the strength, you know, to always bounce back. Man, if I probably answer the question of how are we are finding it, but because of my mindset the mindset kind of like iron out all those things, whereas I work on the mindset so much because it's mixed with a sporting mindset yeah, so I feel like I always go and bounce back. I see it like okay, if you lose this match, okay, you ain't get the three points next week. You feel me Like you just got to always be willing to get the three points next time. You ain't, you just got to always be willing to get the three points. Next time You're not going to get all the three points.

Learning How to Fall and Recover

Speaker 3 4:47

I think it's impossible to win all the time. Yeah, impossible. Yeah, nobody wins all the time. But it's how you bounce back. You got to know how to lose too. You understand, sometimes you got to just know how to lose. You got to know how to fall, because when you know how to break your fall, you're going to injure yourself so you can get back up and bounce back easier. So you got to also fall to learn how to fall, to learn how to bounce back from the fall. That's a fact. You got to know how to break your fall. Remember my man Tal? Yeah, you can't really fall up yourself. Yeah, no, no, it's a long way down. It's a long way down. It's a long way down. Yeah, you got to watch where you're stepping, so you got it earlier. Like I learned from people mistakes a lot, especially in the music space, certain things. So I just yeah I need them all.

Speaker 2 5:31

You're pretty careful word around town I need ammo.
