what's up everybody's lyrics born how you doing so my new album real people was produced and recorded in New Orleans by Robert Furio and Ben Ellman of galactic and it's the first time I've actually left the Bay Area to make an album and super organic super funky to me New Orleans is probably perhaps the first and last true music town in America for everybody to contribute it to the IndieGoGo campaign a portion went to help Oxfam and their efforts down in the Gulf region in New Orleans in Louisiana I literally did the whole album probably on my iPhone you know just between Dropbox Siri voice memos I went to the studio very very little I find that sometimes theory doesn't understand me you know I find that sometimes Siri can be a little culturally illiterate you know but yes I love Siri that's my girl you know I will literally sit there and say Siri I'm about to start rapping so please take this down you know what I mean and then I'll have to go back and correct certain things obviously but you know that's how I write songs then well technology i mean it's it's absolutely transformed everything we do I mean it's no longer about you know me giving you a stack of 12-inch vinyl singles for promo anymore it's like boom here you go let me get your email address i'm going to shoot about 5,000 people all at once my new song along with a video along with my newsletter along with this along with that and that's just something that we weren't able to do you know 10 15 years ago so I think just to be able to create this community you know your fans are all right there in front of you on this screen you know and i can reach everybody obviously i tweet them on facebook them on Instagram I do all these things myself I think streaming services are absolutely necessary you know I just think that in a lot of ways the laws that govern publishing art are just so archaic and outdated I mean they were done they were created in an era when people were writing music for player pianos you know what I mean they had no way to predict you know Spotify or Pandora or tie the Lord or even compact discs you know they mean so I just think that you know I think we need to make a change there
