One of my FAVORITE songs of the last few years is a little ditty called My Type by a band called Saint Motel. My daughter Stella turned me onto it, and it has been on heavy, heavy rotation in my house (and car) ever since.
So imagine my delight when lead singer A/J Jackson’s team reached out to see if I’d be open to having him on my show to talk about his new project.
You will be able to hear my barely concealed fan-girling in this episode, but I did manage to ask him several questions I had to know the answer to.
A/J and his band Saint Motel have performed on some pretty big stages. Think Coachella, Bottle Rocket, Madison Square Garden (opening for Panic! at the Disco), and about a badrillion other venues.
I wanted to ask him what it’s like to perform at that level.
As a singer myself (wink wink), I wanted to know about his vocal warm-up routine (it’s hilarious) and any weird pre-game rituals (rhythmic slapping anyone?).
And I REALLY wanted to understand the thinking behind his recent move beyond music to create something altogether new … by founding an eye wear company! AVIEW is A/J’s new project, an eye wear brand that taps into the psychology of color therapy.
I’m fascinated by people who resisted the temptation to just sit around and binge-watch all that streaming had to offer during the pandemic-2020, they actually made something.
The conversation did NOT disappoint, and I can’t wait for you to meet A/J. Check it out ... links to resources below!
