I was there in December and.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, amazing. Do you ever work with artists while you're
in Miami? Because I feel like it's the hub of artists.
Everybody comes to Miami to work.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Now I need to. That's that's part of why I
was coming in December. I was receiving this award from
an lgbt Q plus organization, Pridelines, and then was also
writing while I was there, and I love me some
Latino vibes, you know, being being Hispanic myself. So it's
it's like the hub, especially for Latin music.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Would you ever do a Latin album?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh? Hell yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, oh, amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Absolutely artist on top of mind the top Latin artists
that you'd like to work with if you were actually
going to do a Latin album.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
We're going to.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I think it would be fun to do something with
gott O g A.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
You know, yeah, it would be amazing. We're manifesting it.
It's good.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
But tell me about the record that you're working on
right now. I know the cover of George Michael's Freedom.
Please tell me how this even came about. How did
you even get the idea? I mean even the clearance
that's like, badass, You've got the clearance for that, that's.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Great, bad gosh. Yeah, we had to talk to the
George Michael estate at their like permission approval on like
everything including even like if I did a lyric video,
which you know they're pretty simple, but run everything by them,
and you know they were Yeah, they were respectful and
kind of let me do it and an honor.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's an honor for them to trust you. It's really amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, I was super excited. Phil Lawrence was the one
who put who I worked on this, my version of
he he's always busy on the road with Bruno Mars.
He's part of the band and like helped make twenty
four care Magic album with with Bruno two, So it
was like a huge honor to have Phil be a
(03:41):
part of it too, and and Davy his right hand man.
But yeah, it's it's a song that How did it
come about? I mean it was I wasn't. I didn't
like grow up as a George Michael fan. I wasn't
familiar with his music. And it wasn't until like my
days as a teenager on a American Idol, I started
learning some of George Michael's versions of songs because his
(04:05):
range is like right in my range. And I heard
his version of Don't let the Sun Go Down on
Me with Elton John and I was like, okay, cool,
And I ended up singing that at like my finale
of Idol, so I had to be very familiar with it.
But it wasn't until I was thirty years old when
I finally came out that it suddenly like I listened
(04:26):
to that song on repeat and was like in tears
because I was like, I get it now. I was
always like, what is George Michael though he seems like
as a Mormon boy, I was like, what are these
songs that he's even singing about they sound inappropriate. But
when I heard these words like in freedom, like heaven Knows,
I was just a young boy. I didn't know what
I wanted to be and saying like I think there's
(04:51):
something you should know, there's something deep inside of me,
there's someone else I've got to be and freedom, and
so well for him, he had to like he was
like at the top of his career when suddenly he
was outed, Like he wasn't trying to be out, he
just got outed, and at a time when people were
very afraid of people like that during the AIDS like
(05:14):
peak of the AIDS crisis, and he was just like
this is who I am, and he owned it and
made a gay guy be seen. And so I was
just like I heard that the song Freedom, I was like,
I feel like he's speaking to me, even though it's
thirty five years later.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
It's kind of like when you when you're in a
breakup and like you used to sing all the other songs,
but or hear all the other songs and sing them,
but then you hear it differently after you have a breakup,
and those lyrics like hit you hit you in a
different way, and then you put that song on repeat
and you're like, oh.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's like he's talking to me.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I'm feeling like that with Morgan Wallen right now with
some of his songs.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, listen to the lyrics and I'm like, oh, turn
it that. Yep, that's on Z.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Oh my goodness. Yes, I've literally been there with and
with the Morgan Wallin songs too, Like I was like, oh,
this is nice, it's catchy, his voice is text You're cool,
and then like after you're like, yes, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And he had a similar beginning too.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Starting on a show, on a singing show, and then yeah,
bechieving so much it's incredible. I mean, tell me about
what's the difference between the David Archiletta from you know,
American Idol to now? How do you feel like you've evolved?
How has your music evolved, and what can we expect.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I feel like before I was, you know, a teenage kid,
I didn't know exactly who I wanted to be. I
tried to be whatever I thought people wanted me to,
and you know, I grew up verry Mormon. I was
super duper Mormon when I was on Idol. I even
took a break after, like after I released my song
Crush and was like touring. I ended up being a
(06:59):
Mormon missionary for two years, like in the middle of
my career and stepped away from it all because I thought,
this is who I'm supposed to be, like, this is
my identity because I was always like I always felt
like feelings for guys even back then. But I was
just like, well, I need to according to my beliefs,
I've got to do everything I can not to be this,
(07:21):
and so I did whatever I thought I needed to.
I tried getting married to girls a few times because
that's what I was. I was just told I was
supposed to do that, and every time I tried to
do that, I was like, something ain't right here, and
I don't feel like this is fair to the girls
(07:42):
who I'm trying to convince to like be in love
with me, like I love them, but not in the
way that they want me to. And so it made
me realize a lot of things. I had to come
to conclusions with myself and who I was, and I
was like, this is terrifying because I don't want to
be this way. At the time, I didn't and I
(08:02):
didn't know how to not be what I was, And
so it got to point finally when I was thirty
and it was just like, you know what, I think,
I just have to accept that no matter what I do,
this is who I am. And maybe it's not a
bad thing because.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's not a bad thing. You're beautiful, it's not a
bad thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I always feel like you have to speak the words
that you want. You are beautiful, you are, you are
who exactly who are you?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You're supposed to be right now?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
So thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I don't know if I had any Like I'm a
mom of two, so if I ever had any words
to my kids, I'm like, don't say the ifs, you know,
just speak it as reality as true.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, well thank you because sometimes you still like are
conditioned the like sometimes like I've learned how to love myself,
but sometimes when you like go back a little bit,
your brain still has some of the way that you
were programmed from for.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Where It's like, especially with the Mormon community, correct, yeah,
program it's kind of like deprogramming yourself.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, it's it can be confusing because people will still
love you, but they still are kind of like we
love you and we expect you to change out of
that love, and it's like you try so many years
to change it, and it's like, okay, what do you do? Question,
like what do you do if you're doing everything you
can and it still can't change it. And I think
(09:29):
they're kind of like the attitudes like, well, don't give up,
you can still do it. We believe in you. And
it's kind of like at the point where it's like
inside you're like I can't, Like there's nothing I'm working
and I'm a failure. You get to a point of
thinking I've failed, and but now like coming when after
I came out, and it's like, oh, like actually this
(09:52):
is amazing, Like I don't hate myself anymore. I'm happy.
Like oh like I was literally singing a song about
crushes as a teenager, I was famous for a song
about having a crush on someone. And now in my thirties,
I'm like, oh, like, this is what because people used
to come up to me and be like, oh my gosh,
that song meant so much to me. And I dedicated
(10:12):
that song to my girlfriend and that's like and I
didn't know how to relate to it, like I could
relate to my own song, and now in my thirties,
I'm like, I get it, Like I get the feeling
people were talking about because I didn't let myself feel
it because I was afraid of it because of who
I felt that towards. And to like be able to
date people like freely without any reservations, without fearing who
(10:37):
I am, like them knowing that about me and still
like accepting me and reciprocating it. It's like, oh, the
feeling is mutual and this is nice and it's beautiful.
And now I get what people be talking about when
they say crush, experience.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And now freedom. It's just like it's so such a song.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Now hearing the whole backstory to it, it just all
makes so much sense. And what an honor for you
to be able to do the cover of that, to
make it your own. And yes, well, oh I'm so
excited you can't give me a little bit of it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Just like I know, artists probably hate it when people
asshole sing.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
On on cue yo, I love it if I hear to see.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Her like a little bit yeah, because the lyrics be
like my I feel like he wrote my story, even
though he wrote it before I was born George Michael, but.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
He's like Heaven knows. I was just a young boy,
didn't know what to wanted to be. I was every
little hungry school goes pide and joy, and.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I guess it was enough of me.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
To win the race of pretty face, a brand new
clothes and a big fat place on the Rock and
Roll TV. But the day, the way I played the
game has got the change. Oh yeah, I think I'm
gonna get myself happy. Oh Frita, I won't let you down, Freedom,
(12:02):
will not give you up.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Gotta have some faith in the sound freedom. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Oh my god, it's so good that what it sounds
like on zoom. I can't on the record. How can
people get the record? How can they listen to it?

February seventh, tomorrow? Oh my gosh, tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, okay, exactly, okay, amazing.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And a last question.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I know this is super random, totally off topic, but
how do you feel about Jelly Roll being one of
the artists that's going to be on American idol as.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
He's not gonna be a judge.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
He's gonna be kind of like a sit in advice yeah,
mentor yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Oh my gosh, I did not know that Jelly role
was going to But he's great. He's had such a
journey as well, so I feel like he'll be able
to empathize with the journey and the dream and the
struggle that musicians have to try and be seen and
share what they have to offer. So I think he'll
kill it.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, but I appreciate everything. Thanks for being so open,
that's honestly, and so warm. Not all interviews are like this,

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I mean I throw in some Spanish once in a
while on the air and stuff because we play like
the Bad Bunnies. We play candle Gee while we have
the top forties in English, so it's all it's Spanglish
is here. I mean, the whole Bad Bunny album Forgetting.
Do you have an opinion on the Bout Bunny album.

saucetack because I grew up with sauce on My mom

that sound and so just hear it coming into popular

you even get the idea? I mean even the clearance
that's like, badass, You've got the clearance for that, that's.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Great, bad gosh. Yeah, we had to talk to the
George Michael estate at their like permission approval on like
everything including even like if I did a lyric video,
which you know they're pretty simple, but run everything by them,
and you know they were Yeah, they were respectful and
kind of let me do it and an honor.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's an honor for them to trust you. It's really amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, I was super excited. Phil Lawrence was the one
who put who I worked on this, my version of
he he's always busy on the road with Bruno Mars.
He's part of the band and like helped make twenty
four care Magic album with with Bruno two, So it
was like a huge honor to have Phil be a
(03:41):
part of it too, and and Davy his right hand man.
But yeah, it's it's a song that How did it
come about? I mean it was I wasn't. I didn't
like grow up as a George Michael fan. I wasn't
familiar with his music. And it wasn't until like my
days as a teenager on a American Idol, I started
learning some of George Michael's versions of songs because his
(04:05):
range is like right in my range. And I heard
his version of Don't let the Sun Go Down on
Me with Elton John and I was like, okay, cool,
And I ended up singing that at like my finale
of Idol, so I had to be very familiar with it.
But it wasn't until I was thirty years old when
I finally came out that it suddenly like I listened
(04:26):
to that song on repeat and was like in tears
because I was like, I get it now. I was
always like, what is George Michael though he seems like
as a Mormon boy, I was like, what are these
songs that he's even singing about they sound inappropriate. But
when I heard these words like in freedom, like heaven Knows,
I was just a young boy. I didn't know what
I wanted to be and saying like I think there's
(04:51):
something you should know, there's something deep inside of me,
there's someone else I've got to be and freedom, and
so well for him, he had to like he was
like at the top of his career when suddenly he
was outed, Like he wasn't trying to be out, he
just got outed, and at a time when people were
very afraid of people like that during the AIDS like
(05:14):
peak of the AIDS crisis, and he was just like
this is who I am, and he owned it and
made a gay guy be seen. And so I was
just like I heard that the song Freedom, I was like,
I feel like he's speaking to me, even though it's
thirty five years later.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
It's kind of like when you when you're in a
breakup and like you used to sing all the other songs,
but or hear all the other songs and sing them,
but then you hear it differently after you have a breakup,
and those lyrics like hit you hit you in a
different way, and then you put that song on repeat
and you're like, oh.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's like he's talking to me.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I'm feeling like that with Morgan Wallen right now with
some of his songs.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, listen to the lyrics and I'm like, oh, turn
it that. Yep, that's on Z.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Oh my goodness. Yes, I've literally been there with and
with the Morgan Wallin songs too, Like I was like, oh,
this is nice, it's catchy, his voice is text You're cool,
and then like after you're like, yes, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And he had a similar beginning too.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Starting on a show, on a singing show, and then yeah,
bechieving so much it's incredible. I mean, tell me about
what's the difference between the David Archiletta from you know,
American Idol to now? How do you feel like you've evolved?
How has your music evolved, and what can we expect.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I feel like before I was, you know, a teenage kid,
I didn't know exactly who I wanted to be. I
tried to be whatever I thought people wanted me to,
and you know, I grew up verry Mormon. I was
super duper Mormon when I was on Idol. I even
took a break after, like after I released my song
Crush and was like touring. I ended up being a
(06:59):
Mormon missionary for two years, like in the middle of
my career and stepped away from it all because I thought,
this is who I'm supposed to be, like, this is
my identity because I was always like I always felt
like feelings for guys even back then. But I was
just like, well, I need to according to my beliefs,
I've got to do everything I can not to be this,
(07:21):
and so I did whatever I thought I needed to.
I tried getting married to girls a few times because
that's what I was. I was just told I was
supposed to do that, and every time I tried to
do that, I was like, something ain't right here, and
I don't feel like this is fair to the girls
(07:42):

was like, this is terrifying because I don't want to
be this way. At the time, I didn't and I
(08:02):
didn't know how to not be what I was, And
so it got to point finally when I was thirty
and it was just like, you know what, I think,
I just have to accept that no matter what I do,
this is who I am. And maybe it's not a
bad thing because.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's not a bad thing. You're beautiful, it's not a
bad thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I always feel like you have to speak the words
that you want. You are beautiful, you are, you are
who exactly who are you?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You're supposed to be right now?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
So thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I don't know if I had any Like I'm a
mom of two, so if I ever had any words
to my kids, I'm like, don't say the ifs, you know,
just speak it as reality as true.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, well thank you because sometimes you still like are
conditioned the like sometimes like I've learned how to love myself,
but sometimes when you like go back a little bit,
your brain still has some of the way that you
were programmed from for.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Where It's like, especially with the Mormon community, correct, yeah,
program it's kind of like deprogramming yourself.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, it's it can be confusing because people will still
love you, but they still are kind of like we
love you and we expect you to change out of
that love, and it's like you try so many years
to change it, and it's like, okay, what do you do? Question,
like what do you do if you're doing everything you
can and it still can't change it. And I think
(09:29):
they're kind of like the attitudes like, well, don't give up,
you can still do it. We believe in you. And
it's kind of like at the point where it's like
inside you're like I can't, Like there's nothing I'm working
and I'm a failure. You get to a point of
thinking I've failed, and but now like coming when after
I came out, and it's like, oh, like actually this
(09:52):
is amazing, Like I don't hate myself anymore. I'm happy.
Like oh like I was literally singing a song about
crushes as a teenager, I was famous for a song
about having a crush on someone. And now in my thirties,
I'm like, oh, like, this is what because people used
to come up to me and be like, oh my gosh,
that song meant so much to me. And I dedicated
(10:12):
that song to my girlfriend and that's like and I
didn't know how to relate to it, like I could
relate to my own song, and now in my thirties,
I'm like, I get it, Like I get the feeling
people were talking about because I didn't let myself feel
it because I was afraid of it because of who
I felt that towards. And to like be able to
date people like freely without any reservations, without fearing who
(10:37):
I am, like them knowing that about me and still
like accepting me and reciprocating it. It's like, oh, the
feeling is mutual and this is nice and it's beautiful.
And now I get what people be talking about when
they say crush, experience.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And now freedom. It's just like it's so such a song.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Now hearing the whole backstory to it, it just all
makes so much sense. And what an honor for you
to be able to do the cover of that, to
make it your own. And yes, well, oh I'm so
excited you can't give me a little bit of it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Just like I know, artists probably hate it when people
asshole sing.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
On on cue yo, I love it if I hear to see.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Her like a little bit yeah, because the lyrics be
like my I feel like he wrote my story, even
though he wrote it before I was born George Michael, but.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
He's like Heaven knows. I was just a young boy,
didn't know what to wanted to be. I was every
little hungry school goes pide and joy, and.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I guess it was enough of me.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
To win the race of pretty face, a brand new
clothes and a big fat place on the Rock and
Roll TV. But the day, the way I played the
game has got the change. Oh yeah, I think I'm
gonna get myself happy. Oh Frita, I won't let you down, Freedom,
(12:02):

Speaker 2 (12:05):

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, okay, exactly, okay, amazing.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And a last question.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I know this is super random, totally off topic, but
how do you feel about Jelly Roll being one of
the artists that's going to be on American idol as.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
He's not gonna be a judge.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
He's gonna be kind of like a sit in advice yeah,
mentor yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Oh my gosh, I did not know that Jelly role
was going to But he's great. He's had such a
journey as well, so I feel like he'll be able
to empathize with the journey and the dream and the
struggle that musicians have to try and be seen and
share what they have to offer. So I think he'll
kill it.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, but I appreciate everything. Thanks for being so open,
that's honestly, and so warm. Not all interviews are like this,

while on the air and stuff because we play like

the top forties in English, so it's all it's Spanglish
