Ciara & David Dobrik Search For America's Most Musical Family

Yeah. Well, yeah, I mean, we have 30 family groups from all across the country competing for a chance at a quarter million dollars and a recording contract with, um, with Republic Records. So, yeah, it's it's it's a chance. Obviously, they all love to sing. They love to perform. That's why they're here. But this is a chance to kind of take that to another level. All different types of music, different genres of music. You see all different uh, types of families represented. And really, the only qualification is there has to be a uh, there has to be a family relationship. So we have father-daughter relationships, obviously, sibling relationships. Triplets. Triplets, entire families, so it's really cool. Yeah. I love triplets. This is really everyone bringing their best and their A-game every day and every competition, and it's it's incredible to watch.

When was the first time that you heard your voice and thought, I can make a career out of this. I mean, I know you don't say I'm gonna go back here. But you know, what? You just looked at the man and said, I got it.

I'm just telling you, I was one of those kids who auditioned for Annie every time it came around and never got it, and then I was too tall and didn't get it then. But I think when I could realize I could belt those notes, I just felt the passion to do it. I think that's the most important thing. When I was younger and I was singing along with songs on the radio, I kinda felt I could carry them pretty well. So I started when I was in like 13 years old in high school and was going I went right after it once I kinda felt there is something kinda special here. But I do remember the younger days, my mom would be like, she can sing. Listen to my baby sing. You know, I would sing, okay, you know, but I think the message you're saying if you're feeling your vibe, people are gonna feel your vibe. That's probably the number one thing that makes a star.

Because it's crazy. There's probably a point in your life when you didn't know you could sing yet. And then one day you tried and you're like, Something is happening here.

I think we all grew up singing, whether it was singing in church or singing in school. Like for me, I always knew I could sing, and I could carry a tune, but I I went to a performing arts school. So for me, the confidence that going to an art school gave me was the thing that said, you know what? Instead of studying sports medicine in school, let me try this. Had I not gone to a school like that, I don't know that I ever would have had the confidence to to actually move to LA and try and be a singer.

But, you know, This is serious. It's gonna sound like I'm kidding. But if I could choose one profession, I've always wanted to be a singer. But I've absolutely it's so crazy cuz I've no voice at all. But I've always wanted to be a singer. Um, so it's really fun to be here and watch other people do it. I'm gonna crush some dreams just cuz my dreams were crushed.

You're mentoring game is on the side cuz we think you can do anything. But David, you can hum along. I mean, He's got a couple of like lines. I'm like, okay, you holding on a little something right there.

Oh, they just do that to to gas me up. I appreciate it. Um, no, but it's really cool being around them and then listening to them harmonize and be like, that could have been me. That could have been me.

It still can. You're young.

Okay, maybe I'll come on the show with my family. Can you teach them anything? Like this is how you get like a million views on YouTube. I mean, obviously, you get that on your music videos, but I mean,

Right. You don't have to be humble. No, they're teaching me stuff even like with the selfies. Oh my God, you guys literally are killer at selfies.

No, this one's killer at selfies. So good.

Oh my God. Horrible at selfies. I don't know the light, honey. I even look great in her selfies. It is all about the light, for sure. The light's gotta be right. But no, I think between these two, like I'm really hoping to up my social media numbers.

Let's do it. If you can help me with my singing career, we have a deal.

All right. Well, how about we teach you to sing on your YouTube Perfect. channel. I think it's gonna help everybody.

Please. It'll take a couple of years, but

What can I do? I'll teach you how to read a teleprompter, you help me with my social media. Please. Is that a deal?

Okay, what would you be doing if you weren't in these careers today? Did you have a backup plan?

No. You said sports medicine. I was studying sports medicine, and that was always what I guess I would have gone back to, but, you know, uh, tape and spready ankles was probably gonna be a long, long, long.

You could have been for a living.

I wasn't I wasn't good enough to tape Russell's ankles. No, I was. It was I'm so glad this worked out because it would have been uh, it would have been a bad trainer.

You could be a singing doctor, Luche. I mean.

I always thought I would do something with hair salons. So I never really had a real, like proper nine to five job. And what I did though is I used to do I was like the local neighborhood hair stylist. And so I used to make like $5 to $20 a head to do like twisties and stuff like that. And so I thought I was gonna own my own hair salon one day. So that's what I thought when I was younger. I used to say if I was not a successful musician, I will be a starving musician. But I will make music, and that will be my number one no fall back thing I do, and I I just didn't have a fall back plan. Now, eventually later in my life, I uh, did go into like doing music camps and workshops and things. So probably I could have seen myself going into teaching, but now I get to to meld that anyway. The mentoring and teaching. I mean, that's a passion of mine too. But it was always gonna be music.

Exactly. That's good. Yeah. What about you? Any plan B besides YouTube?

Um, Facebook. When I when I moved out here, I was 18, and we didn't have any money. So I always thought I can do Uber. I love driving. So I was like, I'll 100% be an Uber driver. And and um, I love I love interacting with people. So I would definitely be like an annoying Uber driver where I just talk to you the entire time. Um, it was either that or um, be a teacher. I feel like that could be fun. That could be fun. And by teacher, I mean like gym class or something like Something simple.

Yeah, the fun ones. Yeah. The fun ones. Can we conclude with just a young Hollywood? Something like that? You know, I think do your best. Let's do it. Yeah, I got you. Don't worry.

Young Hollywood. Whoa. I kinda thought there for a second. You're saying, David. We've done it. Oh my God. I want to do this one interview. I'm almost in tears.
