All right, welcome back to In the Field Radio.

00:00:12.865 --> 00:00:13.647
I'm Erin Boogie.

00:00:13.647 --> 00:00:13.989
I'm here.

00:00:13.989 --> 00:00:15.907
We have Miss Amber Smoke in the building.

00:00:15.907 --> 00:00:18.365
Thank you so much for taking the time out.

00:00:18.365 --> 00:00:21.388
So for those that don't know who is Amber ?

00:00:21.388 --> 00:00:21.388
?

00:00:21.388 --> 00:00:29.431
I am a singer, rapper, dancer, writer.

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:30.307
I'm a creator.

00:00:30.307 --> 00:00:34.173
I'm an artist and music artist out of Houston, texas.

00:00:34.173 --> 00:00:39.868
I now live in the MA and, yeah, I'm making moves.

00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:47.731
So I read your bio and your whole bio just screams self-made girl power, super inspirational.

00:00:52.161 --> 00:01:01.999
I'm so happy that you said that, because you watch on my own and I do have a team for so long.

00:01:01.999 --> 00:01:12.326
I edit my own videos, I build my own website, I come up with tutorials and outfits, I shoot myself with video and pictures and write my own music.

00:01:12.326 --> 00:01:15.829
So it's amazing that you said that.

00:01:15.829 --> 00:01:17.275
I really appreciate it.

00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:22.468
Yeah, no, our show, one of our things, is we aim to educate and we aim to uplift women.

00:01:22.468 --> 00:01:28.186
So as I was reading your bio, I thought, wow, this is such a perfect fit for us because you embody all of that.

00:01:28.186 --> 00:01:29.191
Thank you so much.

00:01:29.191 --> 00:01:32.019
I'm going to have to say that.

00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:33.884
So how did you get into making music?

00:01:36.710 --> 00:01:37.311
Oh my god.

00:01:37.311 --> 00:01:43.194
So when I was eight years old I wrote my first song.

00:01:43.194 --> 00:01:51.069
It was rapping and singing and I put a little choreo to it and I performed it for my family in Houston.

00:01:51.069 --> 00:01:56.691
And ever since then I just knew that I wanted to be a music artist.

00:01:56.691 --> 00:02:11.508
And I just kept going from there different competitions, meeting people, getting to the studio, and one thing led to another and then it just kind of kept flourishing from there.

00:02:11.508 --> 00:02:13.546
You know, I've had my peaks in my valleys.

00:02:13.546 --> 00:02:15.727
It kept flourishing from there.

00:02:18.461 --> 00:02:20.649
And what was it like growing up in Houston, Texas?

00:02:23.729 --> 00:02:32.455
You know what I would say growing up in Houston is great, but I left because it's a little bit slower than LA and New York and stuff like that.

00:02:32.455 --> 00:02:38.408
But growing up there is amazing because of the principles and the values and the way people treat each other.

00:02:38.408 --> 00:02:43.725
Everybody is so nice and, like you know, doing anything.

00:02:43.725 --> 00:02:44.306
I love that.

00:02:44.306 --> 00:02:49.442
So, growing up there was bomb but not enough opportunity.

00:02:49.442 --> 00:02:52.485
No, not me personally.

00:02:52.485 --> 00:02:58.534
I feel like I just wanted to go kind of like where I felt the people were.

00:02:59.056 --> 00:02:59.721
And my sound.

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:14.006
Houston has a very distinct sound and my sounds a little bit different, and so I just wanted to go to a different space, a different place, and I went several different places and I landed here in LA, and I love LA.

00:03:15.015 --> 00:03:17.263
And so, after you left Houston, you went to Atlanta.

00:03:19.424 --> 00:03:25.026
Yeah, so I left Houston, I went to Atlanta, from Atlanta to New York.

00:03:25.735 --> 00:03:26.819
Oh wow, you tracked in New York too.

00:03:28.298 --> 00:03:36.187
I went to New York, From New York to Atlanta to Atlanta, from Atlanta to LA.

00:03:37.655 --> 00:03:39.520
Out of all those cities, what was your favorite city?

00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.885
La, really.

00:03:43.015 --> 00:03:45.563
Yeah, la is my favorite, New York to my second favorite.

00:03:46.975 --> 00:03:48.842
I have to say New York is the greatest city in the world.

00:03:50.775 --> 00:03:56.145
You know, I was born in New York, not New York, new York, but I was born in Buffalo.

00:03:56.165 --> 00:03:58.819
New York Okay, upstate, upstate.

00:03:59.936 --> 00:04:14.042
Yeah, I have a lot of family out still living in New York, but I I think I dropped my finger or something, but I I grew up in Houston, so but New York was fun.

00:04:14.042 --> 00:04:14.864
It was fun.

00:04:14.864 --> 00:04:17.442
I liked walking everywhere.

00:04:18.216 --> 00:04:20.242
Is LA more expensive to live in or New York?

00:04:21.915 --> 00:04:26.206
Well, I wasn't really paying too much when I lived in New York.

00:04:26.206 --> 00:04:30.144
I live by myself in LA, and so I'm paying a lot more.

00:04:30.343 --> 00:04:30.524
Yeah.

00:04:31.956 --> 00:04:38.389
For me LA is more expensive, but I've seen prices in New York that have been outrageous for sure.

00:04:38.815 --> 00:04:39.918
I think those cities like to.

00:04:39.918 --> 00:04:42.545
They like to compete to see who can be the most expensive to live in.

00:04:43.574 --> 00:04:45.463
No, I think they're like let's throw people to their end.

00:04:47.675 --> 00:04:53.064
And so, as a, so as a female artist, hip hop, especially for female artists, can be very competitive.

00:04:53.064 --> 00:04:56.476
Yes, and they pick females against each other.

00:04:56.476 --> 00:04:57.639
And why do you think that is?

00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.742
Why do you think that the industry prefers that?

00:04:59.742 --> 00:05:01.586
Because they don't do the same thing with male artists?

00:05:02.795 --> 00:05:15.211
No, I think they pick all female artists against each other, whether it be hip hop, r&b, pop, girls you know that Brittany, christina Aguilera be from long, long, long ago.

00:05:15.211 --> 00:05:23.961
I mean, they tried to make it a cat fight all the time and I don't know why.

00:05:23.961 --> 00:05:33.560
That is because they leave a lot of room for there to be a variety of men and you know, you can kind of just like pick and choose.

00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.004
Okay, you know, I have, you know, this person over here.

00:05:37.004 --> 00:05:40.428
If I want to get knowledge, I have this person over here if I want to turn up.

00:05:40.428 --> 00:05:45.581
As far as women is like one or two slot, who's going to be the queen?

00:05:45.581 --> 00:05:47.303
You know, I don't get that.

00:05:47.303 --> 00:05:48.646
I don't understand why they do that.

00:05:48.646 --> 00:05:49.767
It's unfortunate.

00:05:51.555 --> 00:05:54.343
And do find that behind the scenes it's not really like that between female artists.

00:05:54.343 --> 00:05:59.343
It's more of like a, like a manufactured beef.

00:06:01.795 --> 00:06:02.978
Um, I think it depends.

00:06:02.978 --> 00:06:09.237
I mean, some people really just don't get along and that's just the nature of like life every day.

00:06:09.237 --> 00:06:10.619
Like you don't get along with people.

00:06:10.619 --> 00:06:27.959
And then some people it is more manufactured, is more of the height of the people around them, even you know creating the animosity because you know they'll be like, you know so and so all day you're not messing with, so you got to take so and so out.

00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:28.740
You know what I mean.

00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:35.848
And and it's maybe not even necessarily the woman that wants to do that, but she's hyped up.

00:06:38.774 --> 00:06:41.961
What do you think is something that we can do as females to alleviate that?

00:06:44.968 --> 00:06:46.875
You gotta be your own person regardless.

00:06:46.875 --> 00:06:48.170
You know what I mean.

00:06:48.170 --> 00:06:50.322
You can't follow the path always.

00:06:50.322 --> 00:06:52.492
You gotta have your own mind.

00:06:52.492 --> 00:06:55.391
You gotta be your own person and you make your own decisions.

00:06:55.391 --> 00:06:59.452
At the end of the day, you know, we all have our own paths and our own lives.

00:06:59.452 --> 00:07:31.473
So I think what makes a difference is being your own person, but I also think not being so manufactured makes a difference, Because when you're an artist, a true artist that you know is very creative, you have a different respect level for other artists because you understand what it takes, you know to create something dope, what it takes to get to a certain space.

00:07:31.473 --> 00:07:34.738
You know, in music and to be successful, it's not easy, and so you.

00:07:34.738 --> 00:07:40.050
It's a respect thing Like, oh okay, I see what you're doing, I respect that Versus.

00:07:40.050 --> 00:07:52.918
I think when you don't have that same kind of background, it's easier for you to do things because you don't understand the plight of another person, that another person has won.

00:07:52.918 --> 00:07:53.639
You know what I'm saying.

00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.004
Yeah, that's a really good outlook.

00:07:56.144 --> 00:07:57.451
Yeah, I think, I think that's.

00:07:57.451 --> 00:07:59.384
I think that's where a lot of things come from.

00:08:00.288 --> 00:08:02.922
You know, I think creative is a really good outlook.

00:08:02.922 --> 00:08:05.793
I think that's where a lot of things come from.

00:08:05.793 --> 00:08:11.244
You know, I think creatives natural creatives do have their own kind of like saying going on.

00:08:12.247 --> 00:08:13.550
No, I agree with that 100%.

00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:19.170
So taking it back a little bit.

00:08:19.170 --> 00:08:23.016
Talk about landing paycheck on Rapalatz 25th anniversary album.

00:08:23.016 --> 00:08:23.959
How did that come about?

00:08:25.447 --> 00:08:26.591
You know it was so funny.

00:08:26.591 --> 00:08:37.620
I was a kid, I was like a teenager and and it's really hilarious because like you hear me on there, it's like like a grown woman.

00:08:40.187 --> 00:09:09.846
I was a teenager, you know, and so I was a teenager and around high school time I was over there at Rapalatz a lot heavily affiliated shout out to my and everybody, the princes and the people I was over there working with my and and they needed, they needed a girl to be on it and it was one.

00:09:09.846 --> 00:09:17.192
I'm the only girl on the album, I think in total, and I'm the only.

00:09:17.192 --> 00:09:24.046
I was the youngest person to have a whole entire song by themselves and I was an unknown.

00:09:24.046 --> 00:09:25.259
Yes, I noticed that.

00:09:25.259 --> 00:09:36.446
Yeah, I was an unknown and it's like little Wayne on there and I was like Amber's smoke, I was like what?

00:09:36.446 --> 00:09:43.601
And there was another girl in the studio and we both rapped.

00:09:43.601 --> 00:09:47.500
We both did our own rap to wrote our rap and we did our rap and they pitched me.

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:52.528
So I was really happy Because I was like boom, I was really happy about that.

00:09:52.528 --> 00:09:54.470
But there goes again one slide.

00:09:54.470 --> 00:09:55.034
It was one slide.

00:09:55.054 --> 00:09:56.078
Yeah, yeah, one.

00:09:56.078 --> 00:09:59.220
Of course you can put you both on there, right?

00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:03.408
I mean, yeah, I think it was really cool, though What'd you say?

00:10:03.408 --> 00:10:05.960
I thought that was really cool, though, that you had your own record.

00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:12.580
It was like all these videos that were 2, 3 on the record, and then here's Amber's smoke with her own.

00:10:13.282 --> 00:10:18.542
I know, I know I still have the little box and I've never opened it.

00:10:18.542 --> 00:10:27.039
I just left it there because I just thought it was so cool how it was just like maybe one day later I'll open it, but I just thought it was really cool how it was on there by myself, like that.

00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.445
It was like who is this person?

00:10:31.434 --> 00:10:38.024
And then from there you spun that into competing on BET's Next Big Music Star I did.

00:10:38.124 --> 00:10:38.504
I did.

00:10:38.504 --> 00:10:39.366
I did that.

00:10:39.366 --> 00:10:40.318
I met some thug.

00:10:40.318 --> 00:10:45.625
It was so nice and it was really really cool doing that.

00:10:45.625 --> 00:10:46.679
I did my little rap.

00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.697
I forget what I did, but I just stopped.

00:10:48.697 --> 00:10:53.558
I just stopped, I was out and it was fun.

00:10:53.558 --> 00:10:54.383
I had a good time.

00:10:54.383 --> 00:10:56.562
It was hot that day, but it was really fun.

00:10:57.115 --> 00:10:57.616
And from there.

00:10:57.616 --> 00:10:59.542
That's how you put together your own tour.

00:11:00.826 --> 00:11:10.938
Yes, so I kept going from city to city and performing all over the place and I got a lot of fans from doing that, but it was.

00:11:10.938 --> 00:11:28.822
You know, when you have kind of like a, I'm so like in my own space of creativity, like I write my own music, I come up with choreo, I do all that kind of stuff, so it's really kind of easy for me to be able to hop on stage and do what I need to do.

00:11:28.822 --> 00:11:33.241
You know, it's just more so like finding the venues and the cities and stuff like that.

00:11:33.241 --> 00:11:38.083
That's difficult, but the performing is like second nature.

00:11:39.534 --> 00:11:46.421
So on our show, one of the other things we like to do is educate, so what advice would you give to artists that are trying to put together their own tour?

00:11:48.056 --> 00:11:51.203
Oh, I would definitely say A be resilient.

00:11:51.203 --> 00:11:55.984
B have a really great show put together.

00:11:55.984 --> 00:12:00.804
See, you know, just try to find really poppin' spots.

00:12:00.804 --> 00:12:03.441
It doesn't have to be, you, don't have to be in a stadium.

00:12:03.441 --> 00:12:04.303
You know what I mean.

00:12:04.303 --> 00:12:06.660
A start Everybody starts from somewhere.

00:12:06.660 --> 00:12:07.744
You know what I mean.

00:12:07.744 --> 00:12:12.898
And so, yeah, I would say, just try to find a place that's poppin'.

00:12:12.898 --> 00:12:14.062
Get out there.

00:12:14.062 --> 00:12:31.357
It really helps you kind of be able to interact with people more, because sometimes it's so much easier to be in the studio writing, you know, or recording, but then when you get out with the people, you have to be able to hold your own and talk, be personable and you know.

00:12:31.357 --> 00:12:38.158
So I would definitely say all those things and make sure you talk to the people after the show, because that's how they find out more about you and follow you and stuff.

00:12:39.034 --> 00:12:39.938
I think that's great advice.

00:12:39.938 --> 00:12:42.019
Let's talk money orders.

00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:44.340
That's student, is it out or is it not out?

00:12:45.395 --> 00:12:50.865
So OK, so "Money Order" is technically out, but it's not out.

00:12:50.865 --> 00:12:54.203
So we were going to put money orders out.

00:12:54.203 --> 00:13:01.804
Due to the pandemic and everything that was going on with that, we pulled back on going heavy on money orders.

00:13:01.804 --> 00:13:05.063
But that is the single, the first single.

00:13:05.063 --> 00:13:12.279
Everything else I've been doing has been like soft releases, just to kind of keep you know my online presence, you know there and stuff like that.

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:22.807
But money orders is not technically out, but it's out, meaning you can get the song but it's not out yet.

00:13:22.807 --> 00:13:24.240
So it's about to be out.

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.183
And can I tell you this, the video is so dope.

00:13:28.183 --> 00:13:30.701
I'm so excited for this video.

00:13:30.701 --> 00:13:33.884
Like you haven't seen me like that.

00:13:33.884 --> 00:13:41.461
So I'm excited for people to be able to see me kind of like in a different space, which I've been kind of like leaning towards different spaces.

00:13:41.461 --> 00:13:43.500
But the video is really going to take me there.

00:13:44.794 --> 00:13:46.139
Do you have a release date for the video yet?

00:13:47.554 --> 00:13:48.538
It's going to be next month.

00:13:49.160 --> 00:13:49.842
Oh, ok, perfect.

00:13:49.842 --> 00:13:55.164
Definitely make sure you send it over when we are, when you drop it, so that way we could feature it.

00:13:55.950 --> 00:13:56.513
I absolutely would.

00:13:56.513 --> 00:13:58.327
I would be excited to send it over.

00:13:59.315 --> 00:14:01.782
And how was the recording process for you during the pandemic?

00:14:03.674 --> 00:14:04.317
It was great.

00:14:04.317 --> 00:14:10.662
Oh my God, it was so great because, you know, I moved to LA on my own, with just my vehicle.

00:14:10.662 --> 00:14:15.299
Oh my God, really, oh my God, I had no savings.

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:18.397
I was just like I'm going to, I just went for it.

00:14:20.422 --> 00:14:21.326
I just went for it.

00:14:21.326 --> 00:14:28.746
And so I came to LA like, okay, what you gonna do, you know, and I started working.

00:14:28.746 --> 00:14:35.669
And I started working two jobs and I was going from place to place to place as far as, like you know, living and everything like that.

00:14:35.669 --> 00:14:38.610
I was all over the place and I made it happen.

00:14:38.610 --> 00:14:40.086
I worked two jobs and stuff.

00:14:40.086 --> 00:14:47.748
So I was really, really busy and I didn't have enough time to give to my music because I was trying to get stable here in California.

00:14:48.721 --> 00:14:56.375
And when I finally did get stable, the pandemic happened and I was just like what?

00:14:56.375 --> 00:15:02.807
At first I was like wine, you know, cookies, like oh God, the world is ending.

00:15:02.807 --> 00:15:04.179
Oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:12.886
And then, and then I was like, okay, this is a great opportunity to sit and get some work done which I hadn't been able to do.

00:15:12.886 --> 00:15:36.370
So I actually, at the time now I have my own home studio, but at the time I actually had a I still have this friend of mine who gave me a key to their studio and so during the pandemic, that's all I was doing was staying at home, writing and then going to the studio and I we did my entire.

00:15:36.370 --> 00:15:37.535
It wasn't EP.

00:15:37.535 --> 00:15:40.907
Now it's an album Because it was so much music that I got finished.

00:15:40.907 --> 00:15:44.307
During that time it was just all bottled up, ready to come out.

00:15:44.307 --> 00:15:46.501
It was able to come out and I was.

00:15:46.501 --> 00:15:48.788
The album was gonna be crazy.

00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.605
So now we're gonna get into some of the more fun questions.

00:15:53.408 --> 00:15:53.668
Oh no.

00:15:55.820 --> 00:15:56.604
Dream collab.

00:15:56.604 --> 00:15:59.469
And if you could collab with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?

00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:01.804
Dead or alive.

00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.225
Yeah, literally anyone.

00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.046
Oh my God, that's so heavy.

00:16:06.046 --> 00:16:21.024
You know what I'm gonna say alive would be great, because I just love his versatility and I've always been a fan of the fact that he sings and he raps and he's like so cool to me and then dead.

00:16:21.024 --> 00:16:25.224
Oh my God, there's so many dope people that are no longer here.

00:16:25.224 --> 00:16:35.119
Rit, Ooh, I don't know, It'd be like Marvin Gaye or it would be like ooh or Tupac or somebody like that, I don't know.

00:16:35.119 --> 00:16:39.350
Just because I'm just I just love both of those eras.

00:16:39.350 --> 00:16:44.590
I love the 90s music and I love, you know, that Motown era.

00:16:44.590 --> 00:16:47.106
Those are my two favorite musical eras.

00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:49.484
I think those are really good choices.

00:16:50.427 --> 00:16:50.768
Thank you.

00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.803
Who's a producer that you haven't gotten to work with yet that you would like to work with?

00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:56.123
So many.

00:16:56.123 --> 00:16:56.986
Are you serious?

00:16:56.986 --> 00:16:58.115

00:16:58.115 --> 00:17:01.392
I mean, listen really any and everybody.

00:17:01.392 --> 00:17:09.993
At this point I'm a fan of so many different producers.

00:17:09.993 --> 00:17:18.227

You know, I have Lil Baby.

00:17:33.875 --> 00:17:35.199
I'm a fan of Lil Baby.

00:17:35.199 --> 00:17:36.483
I think Lil Baby is hard.

00:17:36.965 --> 00:17:37.428
Lil.

00:17:37.448 --> 00:17:39.943

This is a really awesome playlist.

00:18:11.172 --> 00:18:13.445
My playlist is all over the place.

00:18:14.321 --> 00:18:16.368
My playlist is just literally everywhere.

00:18:16.368 --> 00:18:20.085
It's like one song will be completely different from the next, and I don't even skip.

00:18:20.085 --> 00:18:22.266
It's a lot of good artists though.

00:18:22.266 --> 00:18:27.486
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah.

00:18:27.486 --> 00:18:33.351
I'm a fan of a lot of people Like I study music, so and what can we expect next?

00:18:33.404 --> 00:18:36.314
You got the video coming out next week or next month, I mean.

00:18:37.125 --> 00:18:45.868
I have a lot coming out, actually because I have some new music, some soft releases that will be leading up to almost like an unveiling of the Money Waters video.

00:18:45.868 --> 00:18:59.255
I have a couple records that are going to start being shown, if I get them expect, today, today, if not tomorrow, and then another one and then Money Waters video.

00:18:59.255 --> 00:19:02.733
So people can look forward to that.

00:19:02.733 --> 00:19:06.515
They can look forward to the album Keep Smoke coming out.

00:19:06.644 --> 00:19:10.868
It's going to be Do you have a release date for that?

00:19:11.932 --> 00:19:12.354
No, I don't.

00:19:12.354 --> 00:19:19.795
I don't have a release date because we need to see what Money Waters does with the video and then I'll know when we're going to release it.

00:19:19.795 --> 00:19:28.632
It's a lot of songs on there, really, really great songs, singing and rapping songs, awesome music, and I'm ready to performance.

00:19:28.632 --> 00:19:30.530
I want to get out and performance.

00:19:30.924 --> 00:19:32.972
Do you have any upcoming performances or not yet?

00:19:35.605 --> 00:19:49.557
Maybe I'll put it like that Today we discussed a really good one in September and I'm just waiting on confirmation from them, and once they confirm, confirm, then I will be at that one.

00:19:49.557 --> 00:19:51.891
I was very afraid of COVID.

00:19:52.854 --> 00:19:54.307
So in fact Understandable.

00:19:55.325 --> 00:19:58.291
Yes, very afraid of COVID.

00:19:58.291 --> 00:20:02.269
I think I got it before.

00:20:02.269 --> 00:20:08.413
It was a thing in the US and ever since then I can't get that singing.

00:20:08.413 --> 00:20:11.173
So I just have been kind of scared.

00:20:11.173 --> 00:20:15.349
But now, that thing, I feel like I'm a little less nervous to get out and go do my thing.

00:20:16.664 --> 00:20:21.607
And what are some goals for yourself over the next year or so, now that the world is starting to open back up?

00:20:22.672 --> 00:20:25.373
You know what I'm ready to take over the world.

00:20:25.373 --> 00:20:26.609
I'm so excited.

00:20:26.924 --> 00:20:28.108
I feel like you're on your way.

00:20:28.991 --> 00:20:30.670
Oh my god, I feel like my music.

00:20:30.670 --> 00:20:32.392
I have been and people don't understand.

00:20:32.392 --> 00:20:44.696
I've been doing this for a long time, so I've never been at this level of my game, meaning I'm super confident about the music that's coming out.

00:20:44.696 --> 00:20:50.554
I'm super excited about performing and everything, and I can't wait for people to be a part of the way.

00:20:50.554 --> 00:20:58.609
And, yeah, so this year I'm ready to be heard and to be seen, if that makes any sense.

00:20:58.609 --> 00:20:59.313
That's my answer.

00:20:59.313 --> 00:21:08.714
I'm ready for people to hear the music, to see the visuals, to get the style, to get all of that.

00:21:08.714 --> 00:21:09.755
All of that.

00:21:09.957 --> 00:21:13.412
