Hey guys, Audrey Clio here hanging out in the studio with super producer Sean Garrett, and you might remember him from the voice Avery Wilson. Avery, you are working on your first album. Now, is there a specific sound you guys are going for with this album?

Well, basically, yeah, there is somewhat of a direction, we you know, Avery has a very, very unique voice. And so with that, we're able to do some things that are classic that will remind people of moments of the past when it comes to classic artists such as Whitney Houston, or Marvin Gaye, this is timeless.

Well, Sean, you've worked with some of the biggest names in music. Avery, was that intimidating for you at all?

No, it actually made me want to work that much more with him and harder.

Exactly.

Because uh, when I first met him, I was very nervous for that fact right there.

You were nervous?

Of course. I wonder, well, you know, will he accept what I'm giving? Will he like it? Because he's worked with the greatest, so to make room for that. So no, I was never, uh, you know, worried or scared or anything like that. But I always was just very cautious. Like I want to make sure that I live up to what has already been done.

Has he stacking up?

He's doing really well. I must say, yeah, the music is, is definitely, I'm excited about it. You know, all those different people that I've worked with in the past. He's had to take the blunt of all of those experiences of what to do and what not to do. So, you know, it's just getting back to artist development 101, and understanding of where you really, really want to be, you gotta earn it. It's not something that's given. Even though you are so talented, he's amazingly talented, but there's so many other things that he has to, you know, sort of learn to adapt. When he leaves the nest. Right.

Spread my wings and fly.

You spread your wings and fly. Exactly.

Sean, I mean, when you are working with these artists, is there anything that you do with an artist, no matter who they are?

The common denominator with all artists, is first of all, I respect their space. I respect their personalities. You know, I I sort of give them the opportunity to sort of show me what it is that they are about. I try not to push them to do things unless they really want to do them. But at the same time, if I know that I feel like a record is a hit, uh, I sort of kinda give them the opportunity to get into their comfort zone. And once I got 'em in their comfort zone, they you know, it's on.

Is he always this chill? Like I just want his voice in my ear as I'm falling asleep. Like I might have to have you record.

I'm chill?

I'm I'm hanging on every word right now. And I'm like, my blood pressure has gone down.

Oh, okay.

I'm like all Zend out now.

This my, this my, you know, that's my Asian persuasion.

I love it. Well, it's working. Avery, please tell me about the single.

The single? Yes. The single is uh, if I have to, and it's really an emotional ballad. And it's really just about being in love or, you know, whoever your love one is that doesn't matter who you are. Just always being at the level of giving them everything. And I'll walk on fire to give to you. You know, when words won't do, you know, I'll I'll do anything. Like I, if it has to be an action, I'll do that. You know, when things aren't good, I'll still love you the same amount I did when I first fell in love with you. So it's like, you know, little things like that. But it's really just a really emotional song and it connects to, you know, what real love is about.

You know, that's an example of when I said, you know, the classicness, you don't have young 19-year-old artists singing about love. I mean, I don't mean to sound like too mature right now, but it's like every song on the radio is definitely talking about knocking a girl down.

Yeah, there's different types of love.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, you know, love is love. But I mean, that's a that's a that's an action that comes within the whole love component. But to actually talk about the way you emotionally connect with someone or what you're willing to do, your action. People enjoy, you know, you sacrificing something for them. Because it's a fad, like it's it's cool to do what everybody else is doing. And it's sort of, you know, jump on the bandwagon of talking about sex every five minutes. I mean, that's cool, you know, we all enjoy that. That's a that's a side of life that we, you know, we love. It's also important to um, expound on life. You know.

Is this song about anybody in particular?

No, but in my, is it really? There's always a connection.

Okay. Okay. But is this song specifically about someone?

No. But I definitely can relate and connect a lot.

Okay. This guy's something on that. Noted. Noted. I think loud and clear. Uh you've worked with so many people over the years and you've seen this business change. And and I'm just curious, as a producer who's been in it for a while, how do you think the landscape has changed with social media with people being able to, you know, put their stuff out there for everybody to see?

I mean, it depends on what your perspective is. Depends on what day it is. To me, to ask me that question because I'm definitely down with people, you know, creating their own music and putting it out there for people to digest, right? Give their opinion and embrace and engage in it. At the same time, I just don't believe that music is free. I I totally don't. I don't believe that music should be free. I think that music should be should be engaging. I feel like music should be enjoyed. Music should be cherished. It's it's art. You know, and you don't and and art's not for free. Art is something that you, you know, you spend a pretty penny for because it's valuable. That's what's important to understand. Don't don't I don't want people to lose touch and forget that music is art.

On that note, no pun intended. Avery, can you give us a little preview of the single?

I can do that. Cry a river. build a room in a day. Yeah, I would try to heaven. built you a staircase. 'Cause I heard action speaks louder than words. So when you have all your doubts and wonders.
