This podcast was recorded a few months ago, long before any of the recent events surrounding George Floyd occurred.

We want to take a minute to acknowledge the situation and offer our condolences. George's death is extremely heartbreaking.

No one should have to endure the injustice he did. We will be doing a full episode on this in the next podcast,

but we want to let you know that we fully supported the Black Lives Matter movement. At the end of the episode,

we will be inserting a pre-recorded ad and a hundred percent of the proceeds to the ad generate will be going directly to the Black Lives Matter fund.

Thank you and we hope you enjoy this special interview with Lauren Gray.

Do you have your parents with you? Well, my parents are definitely very supportive. But I do do I do pretty much everything on my own.

Really? Are they with you in LA? No. So now that I'm coming up on 18, you know, my dad was by himself at home. So my mom kind of went back there and yeah, I don't mind it.

Did you guys used to? Yeah, for sure. I mean, I have my dog and I have friends. So it's not. I don't really think about it much. And I visit and I visit.

So you've always been independent. Yeah. I feel like I've always been pretty independent. You know, I've done a lot of things on my own.

Pretty much everything I've done has been on my own. So I don't really rely on a whole lot of people. I mean, you know, when do you use?

Because what would you say your career is right now?

Where it is or what it is. What is it? You try yourself as a musician or a...
