This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. We were both in the session, both debating who should sing it, and I was like, bro, let's get a Roscoe Platska. You sing it. You sound just like them. And then I was like, you should be an artist. And he's like, I am. And I was like,

oh. He's like, you should be an artist. And I was like, yeah, I want to be, but I don't know.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to episode 610 of the Bobbycast. On this one, we will talk in depth with Megan Trainor, who has a really interesting story of moving to Nashville

to be a songwriter, all about that bass hits. She's written multiple number ones for

country artists while she's had number ones in the pop world. She just released an album called

Toy With Me, so make sure you go check that out.

Big thanks to Megan for coming on.

So here she is, Megan Trainor. Megan, good to see you. Hi, good to see you. Thanks for having me. Did you ever do or try out for any of those Idol, The Voice type shows back in your early? I was too scared. My publisher, Carlo Wallace, back in the day, who was in Nashville, she would always tell me, like, you should be on the voice. And I'm like, I'm not, I don't have that voice. Like, I have like a pretty voice, but I'm a studio rat. Like, I can take, I can re-sing it and edit it and make it sound perfect. I'm not like Whitney that wants to sing,

or Ariana Grande, who can sing in the bathroom and just belt like a whole huge hit song.

So, I mean, that's what I feel like I can't do. So performing for me was always way too scary.

And I was like, I'm just, I'd rather write a song.

Was it not about performing for you way early on?

I mean, did you want to be a songwriter more than on a stage?

I think I was so insecure and so hard on myself that I didn't picture myself on stage,

like singing and dancing and having fun and people singing my songs with me.

But I would always perform growing up.

Like I would perform my songs on my ukulele or it had behind the guitar or piano.

And then with all about that bass, that was the first time I had to sing and dance and do everything.

And it was like such a this feeling to me, like such a weird new experience. But I I like love dancing but I never took a dance

list in my life so I learned I learned what I could do and just kept proving myself wrong and was like

oh my god I'm kind of badass and was like let's keep going and I recently shot a music video for a new

song called shimmer that's very heavy dance and I trained for like weeks
