Brody: Earlier than The Outsiders got here to my life in the best way that it’s now, I used to be songwriting like loopy. More often than not I spent in New York was working on the Flatiron Equinox, simply waking up at 3 a.m. to get there (I had the graveyard shifts at Equinox), or simply going and assembly individuals and writing songs. I used to be simply actually utilizing social media to attach with producers and songwriters. “All Discuss” was the primary tune I wrote after I moved to town. This superb man named Michel, one in every of two of the duo Fortunate Canine, reached out to me via Instagram, and we linked.
As an unbiased artist proper now, as an instance the aim is to launch one tune a month. I say this realizing that it is difficult — this aim would possibly change, it may not. I’ve a whole lot of songs that I went again to and thought, I have to launch this into the world. I am additionally trying to meet extra songwriters and producers and simply get to work, particularly now that I am within the rhythm of the present and that the awards are performed. I actually need to commit a while to that whereas additionally being in The Outsiders.

On the awards, I heard Bruno Mars begin to sing, and I keep in mind watching Bruno Mars completely kill it on the Tremendous Bowl halftime present with Pink Sizzling Chili Peppers.

Whereas I used to be simply sitting there, I appeared over, and I noticed, is that Bruno Mars in a cowboy hat? Nah, there is no manner. After which he began singing with Woman Gaga, and I simply misplaced it, prefer it was superb. As I watched him stroll off along with his Grammy, I used to be similar to, I need to be again right here someday and carry out as a nominee for my solo venture.
