MMA Star Tyron Woodley Celebrates Album Release

We are here with Tyron Woodley at your album release party. Yeah. Tell me about the night.

I'm excited, man. It's it's been a long time coming. You know, a lot of great sessions, hours and hours in the studio and it's just crazy how you can really release your mind, like if I was in Milwaukee and it was negative 25 degrees, I can take my mind to being in Hawaii or something like that. And that's what music is become to me. And man, it's a phenomenal album.

How does last night kind of shape your craft in music making? How does it, you know, influence that?

Oh man, it's definitely probably going to inspire some songs about redemption, about, you know, getting back up. Um but that's life. Anybody can relate losing a fight, or losing a job, or losing a loved one. When you lose something, you got to build yourself back up the same type of way. So, my here's a song redemption, cuz I'm only coming back. Now, I don't need more than one. I already learned I didn't my my buddy told me, he said, "You didn't lose last night, you learned." He said, "We don't take no more Ls, we learn." So, I learned for the last time. I mean, I didn't get schooled. I just didn't fight well. So, it's not like I had to go go to the drawing board is young, spunky, fast fighter that I never saw, you know, coming around and just beat me up. That's not what happened. We we know that that wasn't Tyron Woodley that we've seen in the past.

I've read somewhere that you wanted to release three albums in 2019 and also make three movies as well. Is that true?

I'm already halfway on both of them. Two movies in and two albums in.

Do you have you have names for your albums? It's chosen I'm going to assume chosen one has to be like a title.

He didn't he didn't the title of the album, they ain't even out. People want to know They know nothing about chaos theory which We're going to get there. We're going to get there. Don't worry about it. We got to get there first.

Okay. So, tell me what is your definition of chaos theory? Because I have my own definition. The internet has their own definition of chaos theory, but people want to know what your definition.

Let me hear let me hear the internet definition first.

Oh. Don't miss a word either. I don't have it. I don't have it on me. I don't have it on me. Give me your definition.

Okay. My definition of chaos theory is to uh disrupt societal norms. That's came from the dictionary. No, I swear I made that one up. There was a whole different definition.

Well, I love that definition. Okay. What is yours, though?

My definition is to be able to just maneuver into, you know, any type of crazy circumstance, drama, stress, and then still compete at a high level.

You're saying you could strive in chaos.

For sure.

What on the album is your favorite song and why?

My favorite song is a song called "I Can't Go Home," because it's a real story. Talking about pressure, stress, um you know, people mental health, all these different things. It's a very transparent song and most people that feel it instantly have an emotion towards the song one way or another.

Did now was it was it hard for you to open up to just writing down your thoughts and then presenting it to the world? It's a hard thing, right? Like I'm sure this is a big part of your life what you're talking about in the album. Is that hard to present to the world?

No, it's not hard, but I mean everything I do is a challenge, you know. An athlete coming into music, a lot of people going to be trying to look to criticize and critique. So, when they hear that, I want them to go in there with the mind that this is going to be terrible. I want them to think it's going to suck, and I want them to listen to it with those type of ears. And then I guarantee at the end of the song they're going to be like, "Damn, I like this song."

Okay. Can I take Can I tell you?

You can you can say whatever you want. You're at Woodley.

All right. So, first I want to also say your swag is just on another level right now. Talk talk to me about this jacket.

Well, the jacket is um like a limited edition jacket we have for the album. And also for the label. So, Champ Camp, um Chaos Theory. Arch Angels is our group. Yep. Um and this is what we put together.
