Ladies and Jets, we are here with The Amazing John Button, who is in London, playing with...

The Who?

How cool is this?

Obviously, you played with a ton of artists as well.

Who are some of the artists that you're most proud of?

You're gonna make me name drop.

I'm like super into Cheryl Crow and I was like,

Oh, John's play with Cheryl Crow.

That was amazing.

That's, other than the Who, that's probably

the highlight, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you play with like a slew of artists. Yeah, I played with a couple people. A couple of people. I mean, I haven't played, you know, I haven't played with a ton of people, but I've been around. John, you play with enough, but how did you find the bass in the first place. Like, was it always, was it based like from the word, from the get-go?

Or was it another instrument?

Uh, I see. You come from musical family. All their, four older siblings. All great musicians. My parents played. I mean, they were professional. Yeah, they weren't professional or anything, but they all played. Wicked.

So, my oldest brother was a drummer, and he couldn't find any bass players to be in a band with in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Imagine that.

So he bought a bass, and he let his seven-year-old brother, me, you know, borrow his bass and play it, and I liked it. And then what is it? Well, then my mom, being the brilliant person that she is, suggested I joined the school orchestra in third grade. When you were in school, were you thinking to yourself, oh, actually, I quite like that. I might be a professional musician. No. I was like, I'm going to be a professional musician. No, I was like. You were always going to be a professional musician. And what was it in, what was it, Fair? Fairbanks. I don't even know what it's called. Most people don't. I'm going to be cast now. It's some tiny town in Alaska. Yeah, what was the music scene there like? Was there other people? Was there no music scene? No, there's a little bit. You know what there was? There was a very good music in the schools program because we had a lot of money from oil up there. A lot of oil in Alaska. Yeah. A lot of trees, a lot of oil. Yeah.

So our schools were very well funded.

So I had a great orchestra in third grade that I could join.

I did the jazz band starting in seventh grade and really good like music education kind of situation.

But no like join a band and there wasn't much of that. So where did it, like, at the end of your schooling, what was your plan after that? Moved to the big city and try and meet guys? Did you have some sort of plan? Well, I went to college. I went to University of North Texas. Got you. So it was a really good music school. And then, yeah, I have my sights on moving to L.A.

Yeah.

What was it like going from Alaska to North Texas State?
