song to you know start out you know the morning your day day and it's a lo-fi song as well too so like in the past
I haven't really tapped into lo-fi but recently in the last couple of when I say past I'm talking
about like when I first started right making music and my evolution right because I feel like my music
constantly evolves but so now you know we're tapping into some lo-fi music working on some web3 collaborations this is sunflower seeds
by yours truly hopefully you guys enjoy let's get it
you know what it says man one and only you know a sunflower
how do you grow
a sunflower?
You start with the seed, you start with the soil, you grow it, put some water, put some
sunlight, I'm back at it again, you gotta keep coming back, I'm back at it again, there's
no pesticides, making sure that there's proper sunlight, huh? I'm back at it again, I cannot stop until the end
My music is empowerment, empowering all of my friends
This is the classic flow
And I just wanna let you know from every error that you do
You gotta go, and if you don't you better check that
I am dreaming my red Maybach
Mama raised to never step back, promise that I won't let that
Negativity can't hear that Negativity get near me
Negativity that fears me
On some positive shit
And I'm always taking a hit
Always been a leader and a student must admit
Knowledge is that power, money is that power
Handle your assets and your life you will devour
Smoking sour, heavy power packing it
Music louder, I might bag her, yeah we lit
Pockets fatter.
Every minute I'm awake.
And if you doubt me, then you dumber than you think.
And I woke up this morning.
I am feeling amazing.
Everybody wanna panic.
I am chilling.
I'm blazing.
I am loving the moments.
Memories I'm creating with the people who love me.
The mind of people that hate you.
You gotta love yourself.
Mind your business and nobody else
Yeah, we all struggle and that is part of life
You get stronger but you gotta feed your mind
And feed your mind, you can't rewind the time, it's fine
I love to rhyme, some things are harder, make you smarter
But you gotta see the signs and if you let it go
Then I'ma let you know the antidote
You gotta find it modified, you can't give up
I'll notify you, butterflies, we fly away
We see freedom, do things that way
We don't mind anybody
We just worry about ourselves, only it's the matter
I was born only, P is fatter
Cause I just don't put everybody who surrounds us on some positive shit
Yeah, we don't submit, we always, they always do things
So don't just sit, come on and join in
Been through hell and shit, now I'm the shit
It's been a long time, for a long time it was lonely And I promise I'ma get it when I get it
Won't submit, never did it
In the city how I'm feeling, feeling it
Now I'm breaking my own cylinders, never did it
Killed the villain, now I'm chilling with no worries
Cause the horror just got finished
And you know it, any problem is no problem
It's a no tears, and if you're going
Then you know it, throw the rulings
If you have to stomp the bit, feed the pit before you get bit
Nah, I won't say it again, throw all the bullshit away
And all them bullshit as friends, the ones that want you to drain
I've been through hell of pain, I lost my mom on the way
My sister not separated, I wonder how I keep saying
I know there's no one to blame, cause of this pain I became
The pain I'm focused, I'm aiming, I know I am not the same

Absolutely, Louis.
I appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you just got to continue going. Absolutely, Louie. I appreciate you.
Thank you so much for starting the space, playing some music.
Much love, fam.
Much love.
Welcome, everyone.
This is CryptoFam Radio.
I'm your host, Mountain Dew.
If you see my PSP down there in spaces, click him and follow as well.
This is our Music Monday space.
Every Monday, we highlight, spotlight, and musician.
A Web3 musician doing amazing work in the space.
So I tapped Louie on the shoulder last week, I think, early last week.
And yeah, he was very adamant of coming on and getting interviewed and profiled with CryptoFam Radio.
So I actually heard Louie in Speak of the Devil Breezy down there.
I think it was a Waves War space.
You were rapping or not rapping, but singing with another artist back to back.
I forget the name of him.
It doesn't matter.
You were way better
fam. But anyway, absolutely loved that little battle you guys had going on on the Wave Wars
space. I think it was last evening last I forget Wednesday. It doesn't matter. All the days kind
of blend together when you're in Web3 fam when you're grindingtime, every day is kind of the same day, but every day is awesome and is always something to learn and grow.
And big shout out to all the listeners just joining us. We're just starting this space, fam.
Give you a few updates before we get started with the interview of Louie.
We got a new weekly live space schedule. I'm really excited about this new week. I had a few space
hosts step up to the plate and then I've also had a few space hosts wanting to take a break,
which is totally understandable. With CryptoFam Radio, I feel like we have this cycle,
right? We all live in these cycles. And as much as we want to keep our co-hosts
We all live in these cycles.
And as much as we want to keep our co-hosts and wanting to talk to others and create amazing relationships
from these spaces, that you can build that rapport in the future, right? Consistency is key. That's
why we keep coming to these spaces. That's why we keep loving and empowering those who are doing
amazing work in this space, right? So on the weekly live space schedule, just wanted to quickly, quickly go over it
before we get started, fam.
Make sure you're rating that live space schedule.
It is pinned to CryptoFam Radio.
And it's really, really important
because this is where all the space reminders live.
There's a thread attached to that post
which shows you the times and the days.
If you don't,
if you haven't quite seen what's going on on the image itself.
So you can see in the text on the thread itself,
all the different space reminders with all the tags of everyone who is either
getting profiled or hosting, you know,
so it is a big honor for me to bring people up and shout them out and promote them.
And if you're on the LiveSpace schedule, you're a real one, right?
Like you're a legend in the space.
I've vetted you.
I've talked to you previously.
Or I've talked to other people who have recommended you.
And so if you're on the Live space schedule fam you are you're definitely
going to make it you're going to be huge in the space not only huge but you're also uh you're
part of the fam right you're an automatic part of the fam and uh a big shout out to everyone
listening i just want to do a big shout out to joe over there i see you listening appreciate you
fam we got solo breezy in the house we got olivore
more uh and we also have mo liquor mo liquor in the house and then we just had tricky booty but
tricky booty oh man i love it i love it um just welcome everyone uh to live stream as well yes
we do have a live stream going i've gotie's profile actually pulled up on the live stream.
So I'm going to introduce him real quick.
And then we're going to get started.
The interview takes, I don't know, 40, maybe 50 minutes at most, give or take.
And then the last 30 minutes of the space, I open it up for Q&A.
If we have any speakers who want to come up, request the mic,
and ask questions about
Louie, this is your time.
But yeah, this is Louie's profile.
Anything you want to pin
to the Jumbotron fam or in comments,
it's all yours, Louie.
It's honestly your space, right?
We're here to support you.
We're here to support all musicians
in this space. And if I see
you guys grinding in the
listeners lodge, I will throw you some coins. And just a nice, you know, not even a giveaway,
but just a thank you. Just a gratitude for being here and supporting CryptoFam Radio.
Also, it'd be great if you could retweet and like and tag some friends too. But, you know,
if I see you in the whole time,
I'll definitely, you know, probably DM you.
I'm like, hey, send me your soul wallet.
If you don't know about coins,
coins is the community token
launched by the DigiJoints Community Wake and Blake show.
I'm not sure.
He may still be running the show right now,
but he has been an amazing mentor in the space of mine.
I actually got to meet him in uh
miami art basil our basil last year so irl i got to meet the whole crew actually tricky buddha and
dj dave uh among others respecter um just some of the ogs some of the legends that actually host
spaces that speak that give value to where value is due, right fam?
So, big supporter in Coins.
Everything that they're doing, they're actually supporting other communities through Coins.
And, you know, we wanted to do a service and give back as well.
And so, I'll throw some Coins to people in the space, throughout this space.
But, you know, without further ado, Louis just came back from NFPNYC.
He was part of that. He was a speaker, musician. He helps build communities. He's got a master's
in psychology and music marketing. He's had a million streams, I assume off Spotify. He's had
a few NFT collections. Looks like he's sold out.
He's been grinding, looks like for a few years.
If you see his pinned post, you can see him doxed.
He's actually doing an interview with Megan Crypto.
This was back, I guess, in NFT NYC 2024,
which was, I guess, a year ago, but still very relevant.
And I'm really curious on how NFT NYC went for you for 2025,
but we'll get into that later, Louis.
But I just wanted to welcome Louis to the stage.
Thank you so much for being here, Louis, and putting on a few of your tunes
as we're building up the space to begin with.
But yeah, GMGM, how's your morning going, fam?
Absolutely love what you're putting out.
GM, bro, or GA now.
Like I said, thank you for good afternoon.
Thank you because it's like 1230 now, gang.
I'm about to eat some lunch.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
Just roll with it.
But I was going to say thank you, bro.
Thank you for inviting me, you know what I'm saying,
and watching my journey.
I think you've been here for quite some time now.
I've seen you a couple of months now,
so definitely would love to contribute with what you got.
And as long as we're moving in a positive direction,
always love to contribute to those projects
that do have a vision and do have a mission.
So let's get it. Let's grow, gang.
Beautiful, fam.
Louis, so, man, I'd love to get started.
How did you, like, tell us your origin story.
Tell us how you got started in this space.
First, your music, not Web3, because this is a music space, right?
So I'm curious, have you always been musically inclined?
Did it come later in age?
Were you, you know, like from your parents?
Were you like inspired by them?
I'd love to hear some of the history, some of the background of who Louie is in this space.
And yeah, we'll just go on from there, fam.
Take it away.
Thank you for the question, bro.
Yeah, I think definitely the music definitely
was inspired by my origins, like where I came from.
It definitely started there.
It started back in Peru with my family. Every holiday, I have 13 uncles
and aunts, so every holiday we would have big parties. I would be the small kid, the
three, four year old, how much every year old I was at the time. I was just dancing,
performing poems, doing anything that I can to entertain
from what I remember.
They would just ask me to just do it.
I think I would just do it.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
My mother just said, oh yeah.
I think maybe because in school, they push you to do things like that.
I was in marching band.
I was the leader of a marching band one year.
I remember now that we're really recalling all this stuff, so maybe the things in school kind of inspired
my mother to push me in front of my family like that, because at the end of the day,
we never did this professionally.
I don't remember my aunts, my uncles, any of my family really being professionally on
this.
But I do remember having homemade instruments that they would just pay a cajon,
the spoons, and they would just make some music.
And then that, me, and they were just me,
little old me just kind of performing, just dancing,
doing anything to just, you know,
just have fun at the moment, you know?
That was fun for me.
I was always like the hype kid.
So I was super active.
So like for me, that was was not the end and they would tip
that that was always one of the things there was always there was always the tips you know
i'm saying so after you know my dance my performance you know you collect the tips go
around you know i'm saying collect the tips um and then just you know look you know just
what kids do you know go buy some chips some soda some candy and know, probably, you know, have some more fun with my cousins.
But I think that's where it truly got started, if you want to speak about my origins in music.
And then it evolved by curiosity, right?
Later on, I got a guitar.
Of course, we got a computer, music performance, I mean, music programs, softwares, like FL Studio, of course.
Before, there was previous ones.
Online, honestly, I don't even remember what it's called
because I would just look online, just go to Google
and just put like, you know, music production,
you know, just anything, you know,
how can I make me like, you know,
anything that could just get me closer
to making some music and now, you know,
10 years later, now here we are,
just, you know, making some bangers.
Yes, fam. For sure you know making some bangers but yes bam um for sure definitely got some bangers so it's funny so you started with dancing hi so you didn't really start
singing you started dancing first so you're actually an og dancer and then you kind of evolved
and you picked up the guitar and you started singing uh so i'm curious how big is your tick tock following fam
so my account got um got banned um so i'm running right now
just like my backup account um and i also have like you know i've been kind of because i do some
marketing stuff so i also have some other accounts
that are not necessarily pertain to my music, but they're pertain to the entertainment industry.
And so I use my music to kind of promote, just give you guys a little bit of insight
of what I do and how I market my stuff as well too.
And I kind of use my music to kind of promote uh not promote but to kind of a preview
um you know videos that i create you know the content that i create um so yeah um i also have
a cat from my luna account well not my luna account my cat's account uh you know just finding things
to kind of um as a creative you know those are the things that kind of i just like love to do
just kind of create stuff um and that's constantly evolving. I think this blockchain is also allowing us to do greater things.
And this technology is allowing us to evolve our creativity, our innovation, our vision.
What we can do, what we couldn't do before 10 years ago, we could definitely do now.
You know what I'm saying?
Just open your eyes.
But yeah, yeah, I think that's a start.
That's awesome, fam.
So you originated from Peru, you said, right?
So how did you end up in the States?
Yes, I was born in Peru. I had some family, like my aunts were here, and they were obviously thriving, living better than what we were living in Peru.
We weren't living.
My family was poor, but the thing about my family, like I told you, since we were 13 uncles and aunts and uncles, not everybody was poor.
So I had other uncles and aunts that were already here that were able to provide the hand and the information and the information and anything that we needed to get to the united states for a better life and so yeah that's what
we did you know at the age of four little me just walking um you know to the you know to the to the
states whatever to the to the ports whatever the case is uh in from peru uh with my mother it was
just me and my mother wow that's that's amazing, Louis. That's quite
a journey. Did you guys land up in New York or I forget where you're based. I assume it's New York
by your accent, but it's hard to tell for you. Yeah, so, you know, honestly, it was definitely
a journey and definitely a blurry because I think so much happened during that time.
We came here definitely not through airplane.
I remember that.
I don't remember coming through an airplane.
So we definitely came here through a bus or something.
And there was definitely a lot of troubles trying to get in.
Maybe we came here illegally.
I don't fully remember.
You know what I'm saying?
But at the end of the day, I think there were certain laws that were able to help in. Maybe we came here illegally. I don't fully remember, you know what I'm saying? But at
the end of the day, I think there were certain laws that were able to help me and get through.
And eventually, we filed everything, the process of getting our papers, you know, and we came here,
like I said, you know, our family came here for a better life. And eventually, eventually, my mother
got her papers or something like that. And then as her I was able to get her you know you know just I was eligible
as a kid and you know that's how I kind of grew and went to school got my
education went went went through the education route because my mother kind of
like you know put that forward always even though we were constantly like
moving from schools to schools but you know, I'm not sure exactly we landed.
I think we went to Virginia first.
Virginia was, no, I think Denver.
Denver was first.
I think my, because the thing is before me and my mother came, actually,
and I'm just not recalling everything.
Not everything, but I'm recalling details as we're speaking.
Before me and my mother came, my father was here already.
My father was here already like
six months before, and he was helping us actually get through, you know, get through, you know, go to
him, which was in Denver, and I think we were in Denver, Colorado for like six months, and my aunt
was in Virginia, and so then I went to Virginia, and then that's kind of how it started, and then,
you know, like I said, we kind of migrated, and then my father went to Virginia and then that's kind of how it started and then you know like I said we kind of
migrated and then my father went to New York, New Jersey
you know and then went to
New Jersey and then kind of just stayed in the East Coast
Alright East Coast accent that's what I'm
picking up. Alright fam so not New York
but usually I can play his accents
pretty well
but yeah Virginia and
it's funny Louie because I've actually
never been to the East Coast like ever. Never been to New York, never been to Boston, funny, Louie, because I've actually never been to the East Coast.
Like, I've never been to New York, never been to Boston, never been to Virginia, never been to Jersey.
I've been too scared, fam. I heard they're way more mean over there than the West Coast,
because I've always spent my time on the West Side, right? The West Side is the best side.
So Seattle, Portland, you know, San Francisco, L.A., you know, like the cool side is the best side. So Seattle, Portland, you know, San Francisco, LA, you know,
like the cool side. So I've never had that joy. I know a lot of people on the East side. So I'm
curious, as a musician, I'm sure you've traveled around the last few years of your life. I feel
like you're quite the adventurer. Is there a difference between East Coast and
West Coast musicians? You thought, you know, your opinion is worse.
Yeah, I mean, I think there's a difference between every musician, you know. I see shout
out Amy in the house as well too. Mama, I see you gang. We chilling, you know what I'm
saying? That's from the Meta Museum um you know but yeah with east coast and
west coast definitely you know different you could hear from like you know from like tupac
from biggie's music you know you could hear you know from like you know um you know jay-z's music
to snoop dogg's music you know you could hear the difference like you know and so absolutely but i
think not just western coast that's also from the north and south as well to everywhere you know
I'm saying every you know me coming from a bilingual you know country states
they know you know it's you know it's you know and not not just but learning
from different cultures understanding you know different not just the proving
culture because when I came here the the Peruvian culture wasn't here, right? I had to adapt to different cultures and learn different,
you know, different terms of languages, right? Because even though it's Spanish, every country
has their own terminology. And so just learning from, you know, from different people from all
over the world was definitely, that definitely enhanced my music.
And so I think everybody has their own journey,
their own experiences and what makes,
and creates their music, right?
Like I'm doing a couple collaborations
with a couple of West Coast musicians,
Sheldon O'Neal, Sleep Gang,
as we're all over the place as well too.
We're from the East Coast and from the West Coast.
So there's a lot of collaborations happening on there as well too.
Not just from there, but from all over the world.
So yeah, definitely, definitely East Coast and West Coast,
definitely different music.
I'm pretty sure any music lover, any musicians,
they could definitely tell.
It's like accents.
Gotcha, gotcha.
Okay, because I know there was a big hip-hop...
I got a phone call.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, good? Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you, Louie. You can hear me? No, I got a phone call. Oh, sorry. Yeah, good?
Can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you, Louie.
You can hear me?
No, I got a phone call.
Can you hear me?
Yes.
Okay, cool.
I can hear you.
I think there was a bit of a delay.
But I was going to mention, I know back in the early 90s when hip hop was becoming really,
really popular.
That was some of, well, my opinion, some the best hip-hop tracks back in the early 90s
anyway i know there's like a big war going on during that not before but like battle like east
and west coasters and so uh i always love to listen to that type of music and depending on
the artist i could definitely tell there's a different vibe, you know, there's a different beat, the lyrics,
just even the vocals. Just to add to that as well, too, like even for my
phone call, somebody's calling me with on phone, you know, I haven't saved his number,
so I'm not sure who it is, but just to kind of finish my thought real quick, kind of what you
were saying, my last battle was from an artist from the West Coast. So, you know, just kind of finish my thought real quick, kind of what you were saying, my last battle was from an artist from the West Coast.
So, you know, just kind of,
that was technically like East West Coast battle.
But yeah.
That's amazing, fam.
So Louis, I want to talk more about your music.
If you were to describe the type of music that you create,
that you play, that you create, that you play,
that you sing, that you rap?
Like what genre would you place your music in and why?
Yeah, so I think, I mean, I think
it's definitely hip hop rooted, you know,
but I wouldn't call it the traditional rap,
the traditional hip hophop um so i
would definitely say latino hip-hop you know because my music is not just english it's spanish
and then i kind of mix it to both and make spanish music so yeah latino hip-hop
yeah louis that's amazing um i'm actually kind of jealous. I kind of wish, not kind of, I wish I knew Spanish. I feel like it would make me a lot more likable to ladies anyway, fam. But Louie, I'm curious, as a bilingual artist, how has that helped you in your process of, you know, working in your career? And also, how has it like hindered you?
working in your career and also how has it like hindered you?
Yo, yo, you're so funny, bro. I had to, I was chuckling a bit, bro. You're a comedian,
bro. I'm going to ask that question again because I was kind of chuckling a bit, bro.
Oh, oh, sorry if I broke up. I was, you're good, man. I was asking you as a bilingual artist,
how has that helped you in your musical career but also how has that hindered you
uh yeah yeah that's a good question um for sure i think um uh it has enhanced me because i mean
in a way where i'm in my own lane you know i'm just kind of like and obviously now this lane
is growing so now that there's going to be more Latino artists, more Spanglish artists.
But that's fine at the end of the day because we're all working, we're all grinding.
And mind you, at the time that you start is what matters.
So if you started a year ago, two years ago, ten years ago, that means you're you started 10 years ago, that means you're probably
a beast at what you do.
And your time is probably coming very soon.
You just got to continue grinding.
You just got to continue going.
And maybe try to find something new.
Maybe try to do a couple new things.
But if you're doing something for 10 years consistently, you're definitely better.
I do want to say shout out to 1K as well, too, in the building.
You know what I'm saying?
You're about to track your trial.
We got, I think he's doing some merch. So he may add merch as well, too. It too, in the building. You know what I'm saying? You're about to track the track. We got, I think he's doing some merch.
So he may add merch as well, too.
It's pretty dope.
But, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I think.
And, you know, it's different sometimes because Spanish and English, you know,
depending on how much experience you have, how much capacity of learning,
it could get tricky.
It could get confusing.
And, you know, not just to you, but to the people around you, like English, Spanish, like, do you want
to make English music?
Do you want to make Spanish music?
If you make Spanish music, my English people might not understand everything.
If I make Spanish music, so it's really something you really have to think of.
But at the end of the day, if you continue working, if you continue doing work, you can
have, you can do both.
And you can do it mixed together.
You can do it, you know, you can do it all.
Just, you know, as long as you stay focused.
Focus is key, fam.
That's for sure.
You know, I want to go back to what you were saying earlier, Louis, about, you know, how long you've been working on your music, right, and your art.
Because if you think about it, it's a discipline, right?
You have to be consistent.
It's a habit that over time you're building.
Before you know it, it just, it's like a natural thing, right?
It's a natural talent that you have.
So can you tell me, and you were saying earlier, yeah, 10 years, you've been grinding for 10 years. You're definitely a master, right? It's a natural talent that you have. So can you tell me, and you were saying earlier,
yeah, 10 years, you've been grinding for 10 years. You're definitely a master,
right? That's like over 10,000 hours. You should be good at whatever you're practicing on,
you're working on, you're mastering on at that point. If it's still 10 years and you're still
not good, I don't know what to say, fam, you may have to change careers. But, Louis, I'd love to hear about, you know, your habits, your routines.
How are you such a disciplined artist?
Where did you get this discipline from?
Yeah, I love that, fam.
Yeah, that's a good question as well, too.
You know, I see shout-out Shining as well, too, in the building.
You know what I'm saying?
Shout-out, you know, the game for popping up as well, too.
Just chilling, just vibing, just listening. You know what I'm saying? Shout- the game for popping up as well too. Just chilling, just vibing, just listening.
You know what I'm saying?
Shout out every single one of you guys for just coming, just listening.
You guys can be anywhere you guys want.
But you guys are just chilling here with the Crypto Fam Music Monday.
You know what I'm saying?
Special guest.
It's sponsored by DigiBeats.
You know what I'm saying?
Stay chill longer.
You might just earn some crypto.
You know, a little bag.
You know what I'm saying?
It's better than zero, whatever it is.
I'm not sure what exactly the baggie is.
But you know what I'm saying?
It's definitely better than zero. And is i'm not sure what what exactly the baggie is but you know i'm saying it's definitely better than zero and so you definitely want to always appreciate
that and you know and the baggie is just a bonus at the end of the day you know i'm saying um it's
all about the energy and the frequency you're about to try to drive but um how you know that's
a good question bro uh yo crypto film radio what's your name again uh mountain dew mountain dew your name is mountain
dew yes sir oh shit okay i got some questions for you later on mountain dew boy all right so but
but just to kind of answer your question a bit um i think school man i think school and obviously
my parents have obviously something to do with it in ways. I think my mother specifically,
like she always kind of, you know, besides the love that she gave me, you know,
she also gave me like a lot of like discipline values,
you know, family values as well too.
And you know, like every morning, you know,
she would have to wake up like around four o'clock
in the morning to go to work.
And she would have to like up around 4 o'clock in the morning to go to work.
And she would have to drop me off to either...
I think I remember a time there was a pre... It wasn't like a preschool.
It was like a pre-daycare within school.
It was like a school thing that you stay there if parents have to go to work early.
And you stay there until the school starts, technically.
And so she would just drop me off on that or something like that,
or like, you know, just sometimes she would leave, whatever the case is.
I would have to wake up, like once I got older, right?
I would have to start waking up on my own, you know, putting the alarm clock,
and if I don't go to school, I'll get my ass whooped, you know what I'm saying?
Because, you know, my parents don't play, you know, I get my ass whooped, you know?
There was no, I had to go to school, yes? Because, you know, you know, my parents don't play, you know, I get my ass whooped, you know, there was no I had to go to school. Yes or yes. You know, so, you know, so, you know, I think that's how I became a little bit of disciplined.
you want to be, who you need to turn into, you know, and, you know, and if you really want to,
you know, I believe like if you really want to make it in life, you really have to put a standard,
you really have to have some, you know, some kind of rules within some discipline within your life
in order to grow to the next level. because without this discipline, without these standards,
you know, you might gain some bad habits. And if you gain bad habits, you only go down from there.
And, you know, in the beginning, you know, you might have bad habits, but you might have a good
support system, you know, so you might not see those bad habits fully in effect. But once we get older, you know, and, you know, maybe we're in this earth more, you know, I guess more independent, you know, and your support system, your old support system starts to diminish and you need to start to build a new support system.
I mean, I believe from my experience, we, you know, we need to understand that, you know, that I think, you know, some discipline goes a long way into enhancing our life and going to the person that we truly want to be.
If we're not disciplined, you know, I don't know.
You know, from my experience, from the people that I know, that's what I've learned.
You know, of course, I'm still young.
I still have a whole bunch of things to learn.
But, you know, you mentioned, you said, you know, how do you stay motivated?
How do you stay inspired?
How do you stay disciplined?
Yeah, you know, I wake up in the morning and I don't even have to put on an alarm clock anymore
because I program my body so much as young that I naturally wake up even when I don't want to wake up, you know?
And so I've been doing that for years now.
And, like, you know, years ago, I decided to change my mindset
in a more positive direction, not just, like, you know,
maybe at one point, maybe when we're teenagers,
we can say, fuck people, fuck life, you know?
Fuck anybody who goes against me, you know?
But at the end of the day, you know what I'm saying,
when you get older and you start to understand life, you start to understand people, you start to understand
psychology, everybody's going through it, fam, you know what I'm saying, we're all going through it,
we all have our own life, and, you know, at the end of the day, you know, you can make the decision
and change yourself, and then maybe once you change yourself, and then, you know,
you know, and you can try to change your surroundings, but it all starts with yourself first, you know.
And so that's kind of how what fuels me is it's like, OK, if I can't really change my people like, you know, in a more positive direction just by telling them, all right, let me just change myself.
And, you know, let me be the let me be like the action. Let me be the person who climbs this hill and then I'll throw the rope.
I'm going to throw the rope. I'm throwing the rope, you know, and the people who hold on, the people who have the will, because it is uphill,
you know what I'm saying? It is going to be, you know, it's going to be a tough one, but,
you know, it's all going to be worth it. And so I truly believe in that. And so I'm just, you know,
I'm going through it with that and with actions every single day, taking steps. I just graduated,
so I have more time doing the things that I love. And so,, taking steps. I just graduated. So I have more
time doing the things that I love. And so, you know, I'm just pushing harder and harder ever,
you know, so it's good. That was a good question. Yeah. Thank you.
That's awesome, Louis. I think you're talking earlier about mindset, right? Mindset is everything,
right? If you have
the right mindset, you literally can do anything you put your mind to, right? So having that right
mindset goes in lieu with discipline, right? And discipline is the only way you can change your DNA.
Thank you, David Goggins. That's his quote. And I'm a big believer in that. That's really the only way you can change your DNA, change your lifestyle, is through discipline.
Motivation wanes over time.
Energy, right?
We only have a finite amount of energy every single day, right?
So we want to do activities that fuel that energy, that give us more energy so we can get more things done. Right, fam?
And I'm a big believer in routines, right?
Routines shape us, they make us who we are, and they keep us consistent, right?
Consistency is key.
This is what we do at CryptoFam Radio, right?
We come up with a schedule every single week.
We open our spaces and we're supposed to open them. You know, we invite these amazing guests, which if you haven't tapped into Louis
yet and followed him yet, please do fam, because he's an incredible artist in web three, but also
just a musician, you know, by himself. He's been doing this for years and years, started dancing
and then singing and then entertaining people. And he does this because he loves to do it right
he loves it so much he's so passionate about it that it doesn't matter he up in the morning
every morning at the same time i believe what at 4 20 right fam something like that and uh maybe
five i don't uh but i assume he's an early riser right louie you're an early riser right like ben
franklin tell me yes you are okay cool awesome so you know you don't have to say anything I already know
but I've noticed there's a direct correlation people with early risers and highly successful
people so keep that in mind fam if you're waking up at noon you're missing out on this space. So I'm just saying, fam, early to bed,
early to rise, right? Like Ben Franklin, I freaking love Ben Franklin. He's my OG of all.
If he was alive today, I bet he would be really, really excited about crypto. All right. I'm just
saying, man, Ben Franklin, if you haven't read his bio, big old book i'm a big leader fan anyway we're
gonna get back to the interview guys it's almost the top of the hour if you haven't re uh retweeted
the space yet and uh tagged a few more friends please do we're live streaming also on youtube
and on x you can see my doc's face you can also see louis profile there in the live stream i try
to promote people as much as i can. Right. So this is why I
try to access different marketing tools, different streams. Just not on X. You know, we have a
newsletter with CryptoFam Radio. We do recaps every week. It's a weekly newsletter. Right.
It's a way to tap into people off of X because sometimes we get a little too focused on one social media platform
and we have to learn to kind of, you know, like spread our wings, try new things. And that comes
to my next question, Louie, what new things have you tried recently as an artist? What are some new
things that you've learned that you can share with everyone
as a musician, as a Web3 artist in the space when it comes to getting out there, right? You were
talking earlier about, you know, being comfortable, being uncomfortable, right? And I know that's,
that's hard to, it's hard to do sometimes. So I'd love to hear your take on that.
It's hard to do sometimes. So I'd love to hear your take on that.
Yeah, I mean, I guess there's always something new to learn.
But, you know, just just to, I guess, go off of like being, you know, getting getting comfortable, being uncomfortable.
That comes with practice. Right. Like, you know, the more you start to like go into that field, you understand like the rewards, you know, and you understand the value that you gain from that field, you know, from those challenges.
I always, that's why I like something new that I'm not, it's not new anymore, but, you know, it's something that I've kind of implanted.
I wouldn't, like, you know, I wouldn't say new because it's been like maybe two years now or maybe three years now.
It's like, you know, seek new now. It's like seek new challenges.
Seek new challenges every day.
Sometimes we are afraid of challenges, of the word challenge, maybe the terminology.
Challenge, it's a challenge, but that means you're uncomfortable.
If you're challenged, that means you're uncomfortable.
So going into that field, like I said said once you go into that field a lot you understand um the rewards the value um you know
the benefits uh and you know positive things come from it and remember as much as positive things
come from it you know a lot of the opposite could come from it as well too if you you know if you're
not tapped in if you're not like fully aware if you don't learn because at the end of the opposite could come from it as well, too. If you're not tapped in, if you're not fully aware, if you don't learn, because at the end of the day, it's all a learning experience.
It's okay to make mistakes.
I think I honestly encourage making mistakes because if we can learn from those mistakes, then we won't do it again.
If we know that we're going to lose a finger, I mean, maybe if we know that we're going to get cut, let's not go too far by losing a finger.
If we know that we're going to get cut, you know, then we're not going to, you know, we're not going to try to, you know, go around that cut because you might cut your finger.
You know what I'm saying?
You want to do something different.
You want to, you want to, okay?
You want to start to think, okay?
Okay.
If around there I'm going to get cut, all right, let me wear, you know, a metal finger.
I mean, a metal glove finger or something. Crease something. I don't know. You know what I'm gonna get cut. Alright, let me wear a metal finger, I mean a metal glove finger
or something, I don't know. You know what I'm saying? Just get innovative, get creative
so you can go to the next level and just that kind of thinking, just to give you a little
example, that kind of thinking will allow you to get to the next level. So yes, that's
something new. Another new, just using the Web3 technology.
You know, the AI technology has allowed me to enhance my music career to a whole different level.
You know what I'm saying?
Specifically, my Web3 presence.
Something that I wanted to do long years ago when I created my NFT was to bring my NFT to life.
You know, and I was like, how am I going to do that?
Because, first of all, I don't,
you know, I'm not a digital designer, you know what I'm saying? So that was tough for me. And when I talked to people, you know what I'm saying? There was, you know, obviously it's,
it's, it could take long, you know what I'm saying? It could take long. It's not the easiest thing.
And also it's not the most affordable thing, you know what I'm saying? So you want to,
you really want to make sure that your investment is properly, you know, you know, it's properly allocated.
So at the time, I couldn't make my dream possible.
So, you know, I had to move forward with what I had going on.
But now, you know, as we're going on, as you know, there's new technology like AI, you know, ChatGPT, Google VO, you know, and much more.
You know, now that I graduated as well, too, I'm trying to tap into more of like AI music see what I could do with AI music right because constantly
I'm working with producers. I'm working with a team of mixers and engineers
And I have to go to the studio to get my stuff, you know mix and I'm like, okay now that there's a technology
Can I do all of this myself?
You know, I have the years I have the experience. I have the mindset. Can I do this myself?
I just have to now, you know, just tap in and play with the things which I'm going to be doing, which I'm already doing already.
It's just I'm just doing so much, gang, you know what I'm saying?
But, you know, little by little, you know what I'm saying?
Something that I also remind myself every single day, you know what I'm saying?
Your pace is just the right pace, you know what I'm saying?
You know what you're doing, you know what I'm saying?
Just take those actions, do as much as you can, even if it's 1%. It doesn't matter. Even if it's 1%, you know what I'm saying? You know what you're doing, you know what I'm saying? Just take those actions, do as much as you can, even if it's 1%.
It doesn't matter, even if it's 1%, you know what I'm saying?
Every single day, if it's just 1%, that's 365%, you know what I'm saying?
So you're 365% better than what you already were last year.
And I say that to my people, I say that to the gang, because, you know what I'm saying?
Even if it's just 1%, it doesn't have to be full out.
It doesn't have to go crazy, you know what I'm saying?
Just pull out the intentions that you want to put out every single day,
and you're going to get it back.
So, yeah, I think, you know, those are the new things, you know.
And obviously, we're learning every single day, you know.
So, yeah, I think those two new things, I think, you know,
I think is good for now, I guess.
Yes, fam.
Always be learning.
That's using the space.
And yeah, always staying true to yourself and taking risks.
It's okay to make mistakes.
It's okay to quit even as long as you come back to it.
As long as you take some time for yourself, reflect.
I know a lot of artists, they beat themselves up
because they're super, super consistent, right?
But they're not maybe putting out the right content
to attract the right target audience, right?
So it's just something to reassess.
You know, everyone's different.
Everyone has their own journey.
So it's hard to be general.
But at the same time,
you know, we're, we're all human, right? We all feel, we all learn, you know, some more than
others, but at the end of the day, you know, we have a commonality, right? Like we're all grinding,
we're all working towards something, right? Something bigger, something much better than yesterday, right?
We're always trying to be a little bit better, that 0.1%, right, Luis? So that actually brings
to mind a book by James Clear called Atomic Habits. If you haven't picked it up or checked
it out or heard of it yet, I highly recommend it. It's probably free by now, I feel like.
Many times I've shouted that out. But anyway, in the book, he talks about as long as you're 0.0001% better than you were yesterday, you're going to be okay.
All right?
And you're not at this point, man.
And don't beat yourself up about it because we all know we're our own worst critic, right?
Like I was on my run this morning.
I did an easy eight-mile run up this hill.
And it was a high hill.
The elevation was immense, fam.
And the whole time as I was trying to get up this freaking hill,
I was just cursing out loud.
There was nobody around.
So, you know, I was throwing F-bombs here and there.
Like I was really, you know, being really negative to myself.
Then all of a sudden I caught myself and I was like, you know what?
I shouldn't be doing this.
I should be like a little more positive, right? I shouldn't be, you know, swearing to myself like how hard this is.
Even though it is hard, you're going to get through it, right? And I think that's more than,
you know, that's half the battle, just showing up and being consistent. And even when the hard
times get really hard and you're still there. It just shows the character, right?
It shows the character of the person
that you are becoming, of who you are.
And that's a direct reflection
of who you wanna be in the future as well.
So, big shout out to you, Louie.
I see we got a bunch of new listeners in the house.
Big shout out to DigiJoyz.
Man, DigiJoyz, I'm to throw away some coins now as a giveaway.
Just because Digijoyz is here.
No, no, no.
I'll do it a little bit later.
But I do want Duchess to DM me her soul wallet for sure.
Definitely want to give her some coins.

I was always allowed to be fucking around as young and I bugged out.
I made hell of paper since 9 greater.
I'm getting the back now.
Never kissing until I go hard because I'm male.
I made COVID back down.
I have different routes.
I've done this with that.
Some people I've counted on.
The ones who are running from problems.
I blame you.
Never even, but really even none of them.
Everybody they want it. But who really running? I'm only seeing some of them. Shout out to the ones who are running from problems I blame you in the room, but really even none of them Everybody they want it, but who really grinding?
I'm only seeing some of them
Shout out to the people who came from the struggle
And overcame the challenges
I'm calling my brothers and sisters
We coming so hard, crying this bomb in all
I've done this as junk, when I was dumb
My actions all are dominoes
Because I learned all the times that I've burned
I'm coming on, I have to close
I felt like I'm not the plus, every time that I'm not the plus
I feel like that I'm not the plus But I probably forget cause it's all in my pain
I tell all of my friends work through the pain Out of my lane
Like a train, but I complain Going insane, same for the flame
Nah, same for the basics This is food chases
Hang out on me, look, I'm talking about graces Talking about blue faces
If I'm gonna waste it, what's wrong with your brain?
Tell me what's your problem Tell me what's your pain?
Are you mad that I came?
So I could be better?
Don't need to risk being the person I became
I'm coming with flames
And now you are jealous that I overcame you
And you're still lame
But I promise I really don't blame you
It's how you were raised
Let my breath in this list
It don't really hit right
I know cause I taste
It's a death to fake
I call it a waste
I'm finding the race
Some people will hate you because they are haters And that is okay, and that means a great
And they're just displaced, they're out of their place
But be at this crease, get them out on my face
I'm catching a case, the next time they try me
I'm gonna erase, no database
No one will trace the reasons that nobody cares
So throw out their waste, so they can just clip the hair
Yo sigo activo, siempre con motivo
Lo que yo hago distinto no sea mi tío, bien agresivo
cuando se mete conmigo he sido vacío, hoy día me siento más vivo, mi chica me pide
un anillo, negativo le dije que me lío, vine de lo peor, gracias a tu esto es mejor,
nací bien creador, mi lápiz te enéborador, si eres eres fácil es borrado. Arregla no seas salado.
Te pegas si eres malabrao.
Cuidado te dije soldado.
Un corredor, un ganador.
Era un equipo y yo soy el motor.
Competidor, siempre le doy.
Duro, siempre lo doy con amor.
Bro, te estoy marcao.
Te niño yo siempre sacao.
Amuro a todos los maliaos.
A quien quiera, a tu enamorao.
Soy de valor, como la flor.
Dejo las vidas, mi defensor
Traigo dolor, tomo alcohol
Solo fino, nada menor
Muchos bien han fallao
Por eso yo te he privao
En poco yo he confiao
Yo solo, pero amao Mecca, mecca.
Mecca, to inspire.
Thank y'all for allowing me to play my graduation EP.
The same for the bassist.
What you just heard was a start from love, understand, and inspire.
That was actually an anthem that I created for who Louis is, for who I am, and for who I'm trying to become.
Thank y'all for listening. Thank you, for who I am, and for who I'm trying to become. Thank you all for listening.
Thank you, Louie.
That was amazing.
Not just trying to become.
You know, that's also a terminology for who I will become.
Let's get it.
And for who I am, you know what I'm saying?
That's also something.
Sometimes we say we try.
You know, sometimes we say, like, we want, you know what I'm saying?
Just start, you know, I think one of the like frequencies
that we must tap into is understanding that we must receive,
that we should receive already
as we're already putting out that energy.
You know what I'm saying?
That's something also that I'm working on, you know?
But as I constantly remind myself,
just like these moments I stop myself, you know,
it allows me to reprogram.
Like you said, you know what I'm saying?
Discipline reprograms your DNA.
I think that's true.
You know what I'm saying?
I think that's true.
It's 100% true, fam.
And Louis, man, that was an amazing track, by the way.
I wanted to say something about your music.
I don't know if anyone else feels the same way but i feel like your music it's way
smoother than like traditional hip-hop or even rap in today's and i don't feel like you know i
don't want to pigeonhole you in that type of genre i almost feel like you're like more poppy
or it's more like um yeah it's like more pop um lo-fi but it's also that mix of like rap and hip-hop a little bit, a little bit with that Spanish flair.
I don't know. Is that intentional, Louis? Because it just feels really smooth, like way too smooth for hip-hop.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, how are you? I guess it must be like your Spanish, your roots, right?
Because that kind of plays into it, makes it more smooth.
Or am I just hearing things, right? Because that kind of plays into it, makes it more smooth. Or am I just hearing things, fam?
Yeah, I mean,
I guess it depends on what you mean by smooth, right?
Because I do have a, you know,
a sense of, like, you know,
making sure that my music is smooth, you know?
So I don't know if we're in the right terminology, if we're in the right, you know what I'm saying, if we're talking about the same thing, you know, but.
All right. What's your definition of smooth, Louis? Let's break it down.
I mean, okay. I mean, yeah, for sure. For sure. You know, I think that's a great question, you know, and for musicians as well, too, you know, and my definition of smooth is making sure that the words, they flow exactly with the beat.
You know, that there isn't no like, you know, maybe like, you know, it might just like, it feels different when it's not smooth.
There's like a cutoff.
There's like something, you know, at least for me, I can visually see it.
I can, you know, you know, I could auditory hear it, you know, it's just so when I say smooth, I mean that my words, my flow and the beat are all aligned in harmony.
Beautiful. Yeah. All right. Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. That's definitely.
I'm thinking smooth is like, yeah, just everything is in syncretic, right? And we are just imagining this world, you know, we're stepping into
Louis's world. And when we hear this music, and it's very Louis, you know, like you've,
you've established, I feel like you've established your voice. And I think a lot of musicians
struggle to find their voice, right? And just not musicians, artists, right?
And when I mean voice, I don't mean like actual audio, you know, audible voice.
I mean like a specific style, right?
A specific flavor, like a brand, a personal brand, right?
And it's like, oh, that's Louie, obviously, because I've heard his music.
And I know what it sounds like. I know how smooth it is. And there's like, oh, that's Louie, obviously, because I've heard his music. And I know what it sounds like.
I know how stupid it is.
And there's no one else like what Louie does.
Do you feel that same way with your music, Louie?
Absolutely.
Absolutely, I do.
That's why I always know that there is no competition for me.
The only competition is the person in the mirror.
You know, myself, every single day.
Me trying to be better than who I was yesterday.
That's the only competition.
And the only one who can stop me is me, myself.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if I just, you know, that's why it's important to maintain, you know, a good, you know, a good positive life.
You know, making sure that you have a good support system.
Making sure that you work on your body, mind, and your soul.
You know, every single day, body, mind, and soul.
Making sure that you're good.
So then that way you don't have to be fighting yourself every single day.
You know, you take care of yourself, you don't fight yourself.
Take care of your vessel.
Your vessel is your empire, your temple. You know, so make sure you take care of that vessel. Your vessel is your empire and your temple.
So make sure you take care of that first
and then everything comes in line with it.
So yeah, I truly don't think that
I truly think that I'm my only.
Of course, like I told you,
there are people,
Latino artists,
Spanglish artists also rising,
but my experience,
who I am,
is what makes me different.
My heart, my energy, my will is what makes me different.
And we all have a different story.
So that's also what makes us different.
Us different, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well said, Louie.
Well said.
Being different is cool.
Like, I'm just being honest.
Being different is cool. So I just being honest. Being different is cool.
I absolutely love that, Louie.
I want to touch a little bit about your Web3 experience.
I know we really haven't talked a lot about crypto Web3
and how that is affecting your music.
So I'd love to get into how you got started with crypto,
what got you interested into it,
and then how you're able to, I guess, partner your music or, you know, like have that, that's
the word I'm looking for, you know, having that collaboration with your music in Web3
and how you're making that possible and how you're learning to do that.
And I feel like it's a learning process, right?
Like you didn't learn overnight.
It's taken a long time.
So I'd love to hear a little bit more background, I guess,
in your crypto experience, how you got started,
and then how you're connecting your music with crypto.
That's a good question, fam.
You know what I'm saying?
You're asking good questions, man.
You know what I'm saying?
That's how you kind of get to know people and understand people.
And like I said, once you get to know people, because I think CryptoFam, I think you came to my space, I think, a while ago as well, too.
And like I always said, sometimes you don't connect the first time, the second time, the third time.
But if you continue doing what you love, you will continue.
You will meet them.
You will continue seeing them.
Alignment.
That's what I call alignment.
And once you see them more often and you see what they're about and you like the message,
you like the vision, you like their mission, you know what I'm saying?
Put your ego down because at the end of the day, you know what I'm saying, we're all
going to be here together.
And our time, when our time comes, it will come because we're authentic.
It comes because we're genuine.
And it comes because we're genuine and it comes because, you know, we're we're consistent. So I think, you know, part of the formula. But my journey in Web3, it started after I think like around 2020.
You know, that's when I kind of already changed, reprogrammed my mindset, reprogrammed myself to be better, to think better, to, you know, to try to.
Of course, we're not perfect.
It's constantly we're still learning.
So but at that time already, I was focused on financial mindset.
Let's just say I was already already for, you know, I conquered already like, you know, the positive lifestyle that I wanted to create.
I was, okay, now I have this.
How can I be better, not just for me, but for my future generations?
Okay, I'm good now, right?
But how can I make my people better?
Like, if I'm good, okay, I'm good.
All right, you know what I'm saying?
Okay, yeah, I can preach.
I can preach.
I can, you know, I can talk, you know I'm saying okay. Yeah, I can preach I can preach I can you know I can talk you know
But I need to show my people that this is the route
This is the way and what's a better way to show them than through financial success
You know, so I was like, okay, all right
Let me just find some you know, you know, I'm I got some books by the way, you know
I got some you know rich that poor dad. I learned you know how to way, I got some Rich Dad Poor Dad, I learned how to get rich, I
started reading books when by the way I was never a book reader, I never liked to read
books before, I actually hated to read books previously, in high school I talk like this
now but in high school I was not this person, I was a different person, I did not like school, I did not like books, I did not even like, gang. I was a different person. I did not like school.
I did not like books.
I did not even like my house.
I was literally out in the streets.
But through that experience, I learned who I wanted to be and who I didn't want to be.
And I knew that that was the route that I did not want to take.
And you can hear it in my music.
I explain it in my music.
I share it in my music, who I was.
And then you can hear my music, who I am to be and who I'm going to be and where I'm going.
But yeah, during that time, I was looking for financial investments, financial freedom,
what are ways that I could put my money to work.
I'm not trying to work my ass off every fucking day, every single day.
Where can I put my... That was the number one rule that I got while learning and reading.
Why are you working? Why are you working? Let me go back a little bit
because we all have to put in some work. You know what I'm saying? We all have to put in that work
to gain the experience, to understand what work really means, right? And what it takes to understand
to work for minimum wage, what it takes to understand just to get $100 on your check, on your plate, on your bank account.
And it's not easy sometimes, especially if you're coming from a disadvantaged background.
So understanding that, I've got some books, but I put out Financial Freedom, Financial Success was the only way that I could be, not just the way that I could do it myself, but I could teach my people and help them, you know.
And so that's when I started really looking into stocks.
I think stocks were the first ones of trading, of investments that I decided to really tackle in.
of investments that I decided to really tackle in.
And so, you know, for a whole year, gang,
for a whole year, tapping in just water,
you know what I mean?
Tapping, you know, just putting my toes in the water,
investing $1.50.
How can I turn this $0.50 into $1?
How can I turn this $1 into $2?
Because I'm not going to invest $100
thinking that I'm going to invest $200,
you know what I'm saying?
I mean, I'm going to get $200 if I can't even make $1 to $2, you know? So that was kind of the mindset. I was like,
let me not go too crazy. Let me just put my toes in the water. And I did that for a whole year,
just learning. Throughout that journey, I learned what cryptos was. I learned what NFTs were.
Mind you, I think in 2000, I mean, of mean of course you know there was some glimpse
mindsets like in 2017 when I was one of my I was playing soccer college and one
of my soccer teammates in 2017 was like yo Bitcoin just went 20k just hit 20k
for like the first time or it was 2016 2017 I don't fully remember but we
literally just came off of a practice off of training and he said that he that he was like the only person that was into crypto at that time.
And I was like, yo, how do you get crypto?
And he was like, oh, you got to go through certain things, like high technology.
And I was like, okay.
But then the years going on, I think maybe like three years later, then it was 2020.
then it was 2020, I think that was like the rise of Doge.
I think that was like the rise of Doge.
Like, you know, and so that's really when I put, you know, when I invested, you know,
my first, I think like, I'm not even sure, like $100 into like the five cents of Doge
that it was.
My first time, you know, it's my first time and I was like, okay, I'm just investing.
And then as I started tapping into the crypto, I realized, I mean, you know, it started going.
It started going 2x, 3x, 4x.
And I was like, holy shit.
You know, and I just started, you know, and at the time, I didn't really have a crypto, I mean, a Twitter like that.
I had a Twitter maybe like years ago, but I wasn't into Twitter like that.
And I really wanted to find more information.
I wanted to find where are the crypto heads?
Where are the people who do this?
Who, you know, who've been doing this?
Like, because they're not on Instagram.
I've been on Instagram.
You know what I'm saying?
I've been on Instagram for years now.
I do.
I started on Instagram.
You know what I'm saying?
From, you know, understanding, you know, how the algorithm works.
You know what I'm saying?
What kind of content we need to put.
You know what I'm saying?
What kind of hashtags you need to put.
Understanding all of that, you know?
So, I couldn't find nobody, like, on the crypto community there,
like, it was interesting, I just found some news pages, maybe, and then I realized that
those pages were, what's it called, they were promoting Twitter accounts, you know,
they were promoting Twitter accounts, like, you could see, like, you know, oh, like, you know, they were promoting Twitter accounts, like you could see
like, you know, oh, like, you know, maybe like a post from like a bullish account on crypto,
and I was like, okay, I was like, these are the people I need to follow. So I created my crypto
account, you know, I created my crypto account, not as a musician, as an anonymous investor,
you know, just trying to invest.
I remember, like, I told this story a couple times, maybe two, three times,
but the way I found out about NFTs not just through Gary,
but through one of my producers, one of my friends,
who scouted one of the Nike NFTs, one of the shoes, right before it blew up.
And he was like, yo, this shoe right here this digital shoe
right here this digital nike shoe was gonna blow up and um and it did i don't i don't really
remember like what you know like the prices and everything at the time but i remember it did blow
up exactly what he said and then like the adidas the the collaboration with adidas and board ape
yacht club was coming out and we were super early on that and i was trying to get into that
you know and um you know because like i said we were super early on that and I was trying to get into that, you know, and
You know because like I said, we were here for financial freedom
So nobody knew exactly who we were who I was just yet
I was just you know, I think I was crypto guy Louie always but I was always like I wasn't doxxed just yet
Like nobody knew who crypto guy Louie was right
And so I was waiting for the Adidas board, you know, in the pre-min sale ready.
I think it was like, I think it was like $500, $600.
The first time I was like, yo, cause I was, I was like, I'm going to turn these $600.
I'm going to multiply it for sure.
I was like, because, you know, it was, NFCs were rising.
So, you know, I was just, you know, on that mindset.
Um, my, I couldn't get in.
The gas fees were like a thousand.
I was not ready for that.
So definitely did not get in on that. So, i learned i learned a lot i got a wallet you know i i got
the experience my first time trying to get nft you know seeing what the community was like you
know and then okay i was like okay and that's when my whole nft web 3 journey just came above you
know um you know i i got i got like a kindergarten Ape NFT, which was a good NFT.
My vision, they were just supporting schools, education.
They built schools all over the place, and they did what they did.
They wanted to build like a different collection, which kind of went down.
The NFT bull run started going down.
Everything went down.
And if you were here, you were here.
You noticed, you know.
You know, it wasn't just one thing it was it was everything
everything most things even even if the things that were thriving for a bit they
eventually went down so you know it's an interesting thing I think I think I
think the entities that they thrive word word the word the entities collections
that had real-world assets they had physical you know physical businesses
out in the world.
So that's why I always tell my people, if you're going to build, if you're going to create an entity,
make sure that if your collectors do get some value by having a real world asset,
having a brand, a business that allows your Web3 ecosystem to grow because it's an ecosystem.
It's not just one thing. It's a whole bunch of things mixed together.
And so that's why it's initially important to really um, you know surround yourself with good people because in this in this ecosystem
There's a whole but there's a spectrum of good and bad people and you know
I'm saying you will grow according to who who you're with
I mean, yeah, you know just you know give you a little bit of a glimpse
Maybe a little bit more of a glimpse of you know my my entry to web 3
But you know eventually eventually get to know the community um you know they asked
what do you do who are you you know and eventually you know um they found my
music people found music you know we connected you know I got to connect
people I met I met no sleep gangsta duchess of world too I see you know I'm
saying 1k in the building I see Romeo house in world 2 1k is world 2 you know
I'm saying your vibes attract your tribe,
you know what I'm saying, Prism, Solo,
you know what I'm saying, there's so many good people.
I see I.M. Thanos also another Web3 musician as well too.
You know, just meeting all these talented,
you know what I'm saying, these people who are working
and grinding, who are go-getters.
And I feel like we're slightly, slightly different
than like, you know, the people from the regular society.
Just slightly.
And as a student, obviously I was able to understand the difference between the Web3 community and the in-real life.
It was definitely a journey but yeah you know
just give you a little bit a little bit of a glimpse and yeah now i'm now my music's here
we thrive in more than ever um and we conquer and we're growing to higher higher heights more than
ever and we're doing more things ever than we ever thought that we could ever do accomplish
because this technology is just rising it's ever evolving and if you stay tuned if you stay focused you know
what i'm saying you will you will be in that same realm it's good wow that's amazing louis uh it's
quite the monologue i i can't remember all of it off the top of my head uh usually i try my best
to you know response but uh you know you know i was thinking i was thinking louie that um
uh crypto it's just not about crypto you know like once you get into crypto once you know nfts
once you get into web 3 in general and start meeting and especially when it comes to crypto
twitter which is very very very small portion of of crypto right? Like crypto is massive, right? It's global. Crypto Twitter,
just a very small piece of that, right? Like I think I heard a statistic less than 10%
actual of all users on crypto Twitter. So I'm curious on how you're able to perform. And also, uh perform and also um do you really enjoy the live performances especially when you go to these
crypto events and not just crypto events in general i'm curious do you do you tour as well
i'm sure you do you sound like a very established artist so i'm curious about how your irl life is
because i don't think we've touched much on that.
We just talked about your Web3 life.
So I'd love to tap a little more into your IRL life, how you connect with your fans,
and also how you attend these events like NFT NYC for 2024 and then also 2025.
So I'd love to hear more about that side.
And then also, before you answer,
Louie, I just want to remind everyone, we're going to be rugging the space in about 30 minutes.
So if you have a question, you want to ask Louie, request to speak, request the mic,
and I will bring you up. And yeah, we'll get to you. So big shout out to Louie again for his time.
And definitely want to respect
everyone's time as well. This is why we kind of put a cap on our space times. And then it honestly,
I feel like less is more, you know, like usually it takes about 30 minutes to 40 minutes for the
algorithm to kick in for people to see your space, right? This is why I hold more than one hour space
to give people an opportunity to see what we're doing live, right? So this is why we hold more than one hour space to give people an opportunity to see what we're doing
live, right? So this is why we hold two hour spaces. I feel like anything past, you know,
three hours, you know, the space kind of just falls apart. It becomes very unprofessional
as well from my experience running spaces. So a big shout out to Louie again, and then
making sure everyone is retweeting the the space tagging a few more friends
i see you little lettuce monsters down in the listeners lodge what's up little lettuce monsters
absolutely love that project uh the tech also big shout out to him and then stormborn man we have a
lot of amazing musicians in the house so big shout out to everyone who's an artist, who's grinding. Absolutely love that.
I'm going to bring someone up right now. I just got a request here. So I think Rama had a question
for you, Louie, but before she comes and asks, I'll come back to my question real quick.
Your IRL events, in case you forgot, Louie, your IRL events in crypto and just on tour,
you know, how you you interact how you connect
with your fans now yeah um shout out mountain dew you know shout out crypto phantom aka crypto
phantom radio you know i'm saying for also hosting this as well too because you know without without
you without the invitation without you know i'm saying your will to you know to just ask none of
this would have been possible so uh also the tech as well twin houses you money Miller actually
mean the tech actually we have a possible collaboration on the way so
you know I don't tell nobody you know I'm saying working with you know talking
about you know web 3 music AI music and in the web to music you know kind of
getting things into collaboration getting things together you know I'm
saying guys you know I'm saying stay aligned but um crypto fam mount doom what was your question again i kind of forgot i'm sorry
no you're good louie i'll repeat it again uh so yeah your irl conference life you know going to
these different crypto conferences um you know how does it make you feel how does the experience go
and then also you know i assume since you're quite an established musician already, you go on tour every so often when you come out with tracks or EPs or full albums.
So I just love to hear or get a little more insight on your, you know, behind the scenes of your IRL life since we talked about your Web3 life for the last 15 minutes or so. Thank you.
no yeah making me performing performing for me i think it's um i think it's probably my favorite
no but the thing is making the thing is i like everything like i like making music i like
creating i like writing i like recording i like going to the studio and making my vision impossible
and then i also like performing my music and and showing it to the crowd and having my crowd
having the crowd go crazy.
Or even if they're new, they're just paying attention.
They're just trying to understand the music.
I love that as well, too.
I think, yeah, so like for me, I'm always hype.
I'm always giving it my all, everything that I do, you know, with passion, with my heart.
And I'm always looking forward to my next performance, my next show.
And I'm always looking forward to my next performance, my next show.
I've toured around the tri-state area only in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey.
But you know what I'm saying?
Those are my states, the tri-state area.
But I am planning also expanding.
Now that I graduated right now, I can do more things.
Before, I think that was one of the things that kind of like I had like a chain on me.
I couldn't do too much.
I wanted to go travel and do a lot of things because I had my mission and getting the degrees first.
I didn't talk about this, but the American dream was instilled to me from my mother, from my father, from my parents.
I really got this education for them
and realized that it wasn't just for them.
It was also for me.
So, you know, learning and maturing in ways, you know,
that's why at the end of the day, gang,
we have to continue going.
We have to continue growing.
You know, we make mistakes.
That's fine.
You know what I'm saying?
Just get up, you know, let's be better.
Let's be better.
Let's do better.
Let's learn from that mistake.
So, yeah, so I think, you know, so, you know, I've already performed more than 100 times already,
specifically in New Jersey, like, you know what I'm saying, you know, one of my goals is actually
to try to perform, like, every, every town, every city in New Jersey, we still have, like, a whole
bunch of cities to go, I don't know if that's gonna be possible, but, you know, that is one of the
goals that I, you know goals that I created for myself,
as well as releasing one song a month every month.
One song a month every month.
And, you know, and so he's kind of been doing that for a couple of years now.
And, you know, now that I can, I mean, because of my experience, because of, you know, those actions, I'm able to put those music and perform that, you know, and understand what the crowd like and what the crowd doesn't like.
I think that is the major part of performing.
When you're performing out there, you're understanding the crowd, you're understanding how you move on stage, what works, what doesn't work, what songs work, what doesn't work.
And so that experience is necessary. I think it might be necessary. I mean, you might not, you know,
with the new technology today, you know what I'm saying, there could be so many pathways,
there could be so many strategies, so many approaches that, you know, you might not need
to go out there and perform like that anymore. But in my journey, I did it, you know what I'm
saying, I started with open mics and building a community there to expand into bigger stages.
My biggest stage was in New York stage,
probably at NFT NYC 2024.
I kind of forgot the building.
It's a big building.
NFT 2025, they did it in a hotel,
but they didn't have performances.
So that was kind of lame a little bit
because you know what I'm saying, as a musician,
you want something like that, you know?
And it was also like somewhere,
the convention place was smaller than 2024.
It wasn't as popping as 2024,
but I at least got to enjoy the first day there.
Met Connect, you know what I'm saying?
Nonetheless, like don't underestimate the value
that you can still get from there.
Even though it wasn't popping, you know, more bigger or more popping than the NFT2024,
you still got a lot of value if you connected, if you were there.
And so I did.
And I met a lot of Web3 heads this world too.
People who I saw tweet, who I saw talk.
I met the people.
I was like, okay, at least you're real.
At least you're not a bot.
You know what I'm saying?
So yeah, I think that answers your question. like okay at least you're real at least you're not a bot you know i'm saying so yeah um at least um
i think that you know yeah man i think i think that answers your question yeah thanks louie yeah
you certainly did i appreciate the flowers from earlier too it's always great to be a firm
definitely uh we got rama up here what's going on rama you got a question for louie hi guys you know i like to jump in last wagon to ask something yeah actually you know i wanted to

Prism is my guy.
I know Prism.
He's part of the Yoruba's Attractive Tribe.
He definitely got an NF Louis collector as well too.
He was one of the people who awoken the NF Louis and one of the collectors who really
made my NF Louis came to life because I was in a stage where
you needed two more to Manza, he was one of the collectors
and he got a merch, he got some Louie merch as well too

Awesome. Great, great.
Did you want to say anything else, Rama? Sorry to cut you off.
No, I'm just so big headache right now. I just want to listen one more track from Louie. That's my wishes for today, for tonight, in my house, in my country, tonight.
queue up an outro track the last 10 minutes or so. So don't worry, fam. I've got a few more questions.
And before I get to those, I just wanted to invite the audience. If you have a question for
Louie, now is the time. Request that mic will bring me up and you can ask your question quickly.
Like I mentioned before, we got about 20 minutes before I read in space fam so in the meantime i wanted to get back to uh a question
about louis uh louis i'm coming towards the end of my questions here obviously and so um
i'm really curious uh will i see you for art basil in miami in 2025.
Yeah, I think that's the goal.
Like I said, I just graduated, so my goal is really to attend, you know,
as much conventions as possible, contribute to as, you know,
as much Web3 conventions as possible.
I believe there's an event in November down in Florida.
It's called, like, I think the Futuristics,
in which I might or might not be speaking in um i'll give you details very soon we working we grind and doing the things that we
love so yeah you might catch me at art basil um i just obviously need to get the details as soon
as possible so that i can get on it you feel me love fam. I'll actually be at the, I think it's the, what is it?
Futurist Blockchain Conference you're talking about?
November 7th, 8th through 9th, I think.
Two or three days.
I think they're doing a Web3 Women event as well.
And it looks like, I haven't quite confirmed yet.
We're in talks, but it looks like CryptoFam Radio
will get a media pass for that event.
And I will be going around, you know, chatting to people, building connections, networking, maybe doing a few quick interviews if people are into that.
But, you know, no pressure.
Yeah, CryptoFam Radio is expanding.
We're definitely going to be hitting up more events, IRL.
And honestly, fam, that's really the best way to go. Fam Radio is expanding. We're definitely going to be hitting up more events, IRL.
And honestly, fam, that's really the best way to go.
If you are an artist or you're a builder in this space,
you're in Web3 and you haven't been to a crypto event yet,
definitely go.
Even if you can't afford it, still go.
Just get in.
That's what I did with El Basil in Miami last year.
Wayne just walked in. No detail. So I'm just saying, fam, just get in. You know, that's what I did with Ella Basil in Miami last year. When I just walked in.
No detour.
So I'm just saying, fam, you know, just get there.
Find a way to get there.
And then DM me.
I'll be there.
So I can connect you as well, fam.
And then also I wanted to just bring to attention, if you guys enjoyed Music Mondays and you're a musician in this space and you want to be profiled, just DM us.
We are more than happy to highlight you, to profile you.
We want to build your following.
We want to build your community, but we can't do that if you don't talk, right?
If you don't speak up, speak, right?
Your voice is so, so important.
I'm just blown away, Louis, by how many people don't speak in
spaces right like i i understand the whole listening thing but like come on dude like you
could just ask one question right like or maybe you're busy doing two or three things at once
that's fine too but like as a host well i'm gonna come back to your intention, right? Like intention is key for anything you do.
It gives you focus, gives you clarity.
And intention in spaces, right?
When I'm running spaces, I'm here.
I'm present.
I'm literally not doing anything.
But, you know, that's me because I'm a host, right?
So anyway, we got a question here.
We got a new speaker.
More in the house.
What's going on, Oliver?
You got a question for Louie?
Yes, I do.
I do.
Greetings, everyone.
Greetings, fam.
Greetings, Louie.
So I'm glad you shared, you know, your growth process.
And I'm really motivated by it, you know.
But I have a particular question, you know, for someone like me who is still out there, not even in the
fold of becoming a music artist yet. I just want to know, I'm not so big on gadgets. Back
then for you, what kind of offline music know actually assisted you one way or the other
probably in recording probably in editing probably in some voice effect you know i just want to know
the kind of phone apps you know you employed into your phone that assisted you in your journey thank
you very much you're welcome fam um Thank you for the question.
I think if I understood correctly, you were asking what phone apps that I've used on my
upcoming journey?
No, I mean, phone apps, phone applications.
Yeah, phone applications, like music applications, right, to record.
Yes, sir.
Okay, yeah, I mean, so, yeah, I definitely, that was part of the rising, the technologies that I've used was definitely my phone growing, like before I was able to record on the computer.
I recorded on my phone, so I'll give you, I guess, the first thing, which is, you know, and mind you, mind you these are old now like you could probably have some better you know there's better technology
nowadays I just you know I haven't really used my phone but like um yeah let me just
start so I used the first thing that I used uh on just a simple phone any phone has this
was is a voice memo voice memo so all you all you need to do is just have some music,
put the voice memo, record, you can do that.
That's one way.
The second apps, there were apps that I've used
when I was upcoming.
I don't know if this app is still alive, by the way,
but this app definitely helped me play around with my style,
even with AutoTune, because it was the T-Pain app.
I think it was called the T-Pain app.
And the T-Pain app just allowed you to create recordings based on their instrumentals with Auto-Tune.
So that allowed me to play with my voice as well, too.
There was other ones as well too, but very minimum, I didn't really like other apps
because some of them had to,
they play with it like your voice and stuff like that.
For me, I was very traditional,
I wanted to record,
just the idea, which is on voice memo,
and which is get the music,
put the speaker on music, and just record what you got and then take the idea
And then obviously put in a computer and then if you're good with logic if you're good with like
Whatever you use with FO studio
You know
There's so many other projects like well, I think band lab is another one
That's actually like that think anybody could use on their phone as well, too
And I think
it's very friendly user you know and there's so many things like you know like even now if you if
you can't find a producer or if you need like to make some music even Suno like Suno like Suno AI
like you know just using like AI technology like that will allow you to make music in ways that you
you know you haven't done before you know and be honest, you can find so much new technology.
Go to Google.
Just type in the exact questions that you're asking right now,
and I bet you'll find a list of 10 of them just like that.
Boom.
And then once you learn, once you get the experience,
go out there and find your people as, find your people as well, too.
You know, create your team because I do believe that great things do happen with great teams.
And it might take time.
It might take time.
You might do something really good.
You might do something really good, like, you know, and that's how you find the really good people, you know, by doing something really good.
something really good. You do something really good. Good people are like, oh, wow, he's doing
You do something really good, good people are like, oh, wow, he's doing really something good.
really good, something good. Like me, if I see somebody that's working, if I see somebody that's,
you know, that has good intentions, that has a good mission, that has a good mindset, yeah,
I'm going to be supporting that person. I'm going to be going to that person, that person,
that community, that project, be like, yo, I like what you're doing here. How can I contribute?
You know what I'm saying? Let's grow. Let's grow because I'm growing too. You know what I'm saying? So helping other people
allows you to grow, whether it's you learning from them, whether you helping them do something
and then you learning through actions. And do it because you actually believe in that. Do it
because you want to grow yourself in ways that you, not just because you want to grow yourself, like, you know, in ways that you not just because you want to receive something back, not just because, OK, he owes me or she owes me.
You know, don't that's not the mindset, you know, do it because you actually believe in it and you want to grow in ways that you haven't grown.
You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, hopefully that answers your question.
Awesome, awesome sauce.
Thank you so much, Louis.
Thank you so much, Oliver, for asking that question as well.
We got about another 10 minutes before we rub the space, fam.
If you have a question, a dying question, request that, Mike, I'll bring you up and
you can ask the question of Louis.
Even if after we rub the space, I'm sure if you follow Louis and DM him, if you had a
very pressing question, he would answer you. He seems like that kind of guy. He's super
nice, very generous with his time. And a big shout out to him as well for graduating or graduating
soon. That's huge, Louis. And we didn't really even talk too much about the education side of
you. I don't know if you wanted to touch on that really quickly,
what you're getting your master's in, how that's going to help you in your career.
I'd love to hear a little bit more about that if you wouldn't mind.
Yeah, so I just got my master's degree in industrial organizational psychology
and just in very simple forms, you know, it's, you know, business psychology
and another simple forms is that we study the success and the fail fact, what makes a
company fail through the structures, through their inner organization, through their employees,
through their systems, through their leadership and, you know, and much more, right? And, you
know, study those components and understand, create interventions, create trainings to allow them to, you know, to enhance or to protect them from any lawsuits.
And that's just like in very simple forms, right?
Wow.
That sounds really cool, actually.
Makes me want to go back to school.
How are you going to apply this education to your IRL life and your career, Louis?
Yes, I mean, I've been applying everything that I've learned through school, through everything that I do in my music, in my life.
You know, you learn so much.
You know, a lot of people say, oh, education is a scam.
That really depends on, you know, who you are.
A lot of people cannot get this kind of education anywhere.
Where I'm from in Peru, you can't get this education anywhere.
So we come here for a better life.
We come here for a better, so we can learn, so we can be better.
And in order for us to learn to be better, we need to pick up the books.
We need to, you know, you know, meet good people, you know, not
just not, not just meet just anybody, because we can meet, you know, people that, that are also,
you know, not, maybe, maybe have bad habits that are not in the right spiritual mindset,
whatever the case is, you know, so you really have to understand who you want to surround yourself
with. And so, you know, going to school has allowed me to understand all of that, specifically
studying psychology, right?
Because my bachelor's degree, I got a psychology degree, and then I went towards, you know, I was psychology.
You know, I always think, what if I didn't go through this route?
What if I went through a business route?
More money focused, right?
But I didn't.
And so now, you know, I'm able to tap in to my spiritual side, to the society side, to the community, because I'm not, you know, money driven.
Money does not control me.
I just do the things that I love.
And of course, we live in a society where we need to financially thrive to, you know,
to be, you know, to do what we love consistently, not just for us, but for our people.
And so, you know, that's what drives me every single day.
That's what inspires me every single day.
Wait, I don't want to get too far off your your
um your question as well either because you're gonna be going crazy sometimes um but um yeah
just education just stick to the education yeah so yeah so so you know just just putting that um
what i learned into my music career my you know, eventually I want to, in the future, you know, once I grow, once I do this, you know, once I, I want to have like, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe a music label or a music like label where I could help musicians, you know, where my team, you know, my resources, my experience can help thriving musicians and actually help musicians, like, you know, not just, you know, sign them into a deal and I kind of like, you know, fuck you know them over like you know which which is kind of like the main what the traditional industry does
that's why web3 that's why i'm so bullish into web3 because that gives that allows us to not
go that route anymore we don't have to take that route anymore there's a new route now right really
look for it um and so um yeah you know know, that's the goal eventually, you know,
initially the long-term goal is to really make a positive impact before I leave this earth,
you know? How can I impact this positively for the earth, for my people, for my kids,
for, you know, for their kids? I think that's the longer impact goal.
I love that, Louis. And that actually is a segue to my next question.
It's like, what future projects are you excited about?
What do you want to be working on now since you're graduated
and you have more time for your music, for your art,
more time for crypto?
You kind of just said it, music label.
But is there anything else that you're looking forward to
besides, you know, music label? is there anything else that you're looking forward to besides uh you know um
music which actually sounds really amazing um like a web through music label would be fun i think but
yeah and anything else you're looking forward to excited about you know the future future projects
anything like that yeah for sure so i mean so, I'm just working, obviously pushing my music every single month, working on a couple of projects like Web2 versus Web3 project EP, which is technically collaboration from Web2 artists, Web3 artists and producers and artists, you know, and kind of, you know, and just seeing like, you know, maybe understanding what music might sonically sound better.
But initially, just to have good music on the EP overall.
Also working on artist producer EP.
I told you guys graduation EP.
I just graduated.
So it might be my last graduation.
Who knows?
Or am I going to go back to getting my doctor's degree?
I have no idea, gang.
I mean, it's only two more years.
But right now, I'm not going back.
Right now, I need to focus on the things that I love.
Actually, focus.
One of my goals is really to try to use my degree to fund what I love, right?
Because initially, I worked so hard so much, invested so much into my education that, you know, hopefully it, you know, it, it means more than just a mindset than just like, than just on paper, than just, you know, than just
like, I guess the things that I love, but nonetheless, it's still valuable, but hopefully
I can take it to the next level.
But nonetheless, I don't really want to, this is also like the other side of that as well
too, is I don't want to work for anybody.
My goal was never to work for somebody, you know, so, but if I have to, to like, you know, for temporary to do what I have to do,
I'm all for it, right? Because, you know, I think, I think that's one of the things that my parents
also instilled in me is the work ethic, right? Knowing that they worked two, three jobs, you
know, they barely came home and, you know, understanding that kind of work ethic also
fuels me every single day. Understanding that, you know, I cannot let their work, you know understanding that kind of work ethic also fuels me every single day um understanding that you know i cannot let their work um you know go you know be be mishandled like be you know it
i'll be a disgrace if i just give up on what they sacrifice themselves you know for me to do and my
sister at the end of the day um but yeah working on those projects um i'm also a trader as well too
crypto i trade stocks
too so you know maybe you know probably i i love doing that so just trying to grow on that
um this is some alpha you know for you know for the people for the people who are really in the
web three i'm not sure um if you guys are familiar with like creator uh coins you know you know
investments stuff like that um and so technically just to give you guys a glimpse is you invest into a coin of a creator that creates content and stuff
any kind of content whatever whatever content it really is just a creative content and so
You invest into the creator and it has a chart, right?
You could
The more people invest in it the more the chart goes up
If you need to like, you know, obviously take out whatever the case is, you know, it's part of the investment.
It's part of the training.
It's part of the Web3 ecosystem.
It's part of the technology.
So I might, I might, I might.
I'm not sure 100% yet.
I'm still planning.
There's still so many things that I got to do because I have, you know, my experience of training, because of my experience in music.
I can kind of put that all into content.
And then, you know, I might eventually do something like launch a token, starting going live streaming, you know, doing things like that.
But I'm not sure just yet, you know, that's something that I'm cooking up still.
I'm still cooking up, you know, and I'm giving you guys the alpha, you know, just in case you guys want to stay tuned.
But, yeah, you know, just creating content.
But, you know, creating content, not just creating content not just to create just like just like nfts or any coins don't create
something just to create it have an intention right have a vision have a plan and you know and
and then attack it you know but have i have a concrete plan have a concrete vision so i'm not
even sure if i if i am going to launch it.
I'm just letting you know, you asked,
giving you that alpha, you know what I'm saying?
So for the people who stay tuned in, if I launch it,
you know what I'm saying, we'll get blessed
because if you guys know what's going on right now
with creative content right now, it's trending.
Apps like Zora, websites like Pump, Pump.Fun,
all of that is technically,
the trenches are talking, I've been in the trenches,
they're saying this is the new wave.
So, you know, who knows, we don't know,
there's nothing that's financial advice, never.
At the end of it, we're learning, we're learning,
and we're living and learning.
So, yeah, you know, just trying to use a new technology
as a creator, content, as a musician, as a person, you know, that loves what they do.
So, yeah, stay tuned to a whole bunch of that.
You know, obviously, it's all connected.
You know, the Louis brand is all connected.
So, obviously, you know, there is a real world asset.
There is a brand behind everything that I drop.
You know, so I think that's that's what what makes me different.
Awesome. Awesome, Louie.
So it's almost the top of the second hour, Sam.
I'm about to run this space.
But before I do, Louie, was there anything else you wanted to touch on?
Anything else that you wanted to touch on anything else that you wanted to say uh post
anything that i uh i missed about you i mean you asked you asked pretty good questions bro so you
know just thank you you know just thank you you know i appreciate you for you know for asking
the questions um actually understanding um you know where i came from a bit and where I'm going.
I think a lot of interviews, they lack that questions, they ask common questions.
So I think you asked some things that were not as common, I think, and kind of got me
thinking back a little bit, understanding exactly where I came from, my origins. And I gave you a little bit more details than what I usually gave,
you know, to my previous interview. So definitely, you know, definitely appreciate you for tapping
into that. Yes, fam, it helps when you go to school for journalism and you learn how to ask better questions. Right, fam? So I appreciate you, Louie, for the interview. I really enjoyed this interview. Like, honestly, Louie, you're a really easy interviewee. Like, let's be honest, fam.
a lot of people and you're definitely one of the easier ones. So thank you so much
for your time. Thank you to all the listeners down here as well as Louie queues up the last
track for the outro music of this space fam. Big shout out to Rama down there. Wherefore art thou?

heard this ain't for uh this ain't for the basics which is this is the next song after that um this
is technically an anthem for you know for for louie you know for love understand inspire which is the acronym for
for louie um and when i created this name um i was like okay like you know i wanna not just it
doesn't just stand for my name but i wanted to have some kind of meaning to it you know and
you know and to really understand like to really you know to really put out in the world who what
like you know the brand the the message the
frequency you know and so those were the words that really popped up and you know i remember like
these like i never changed this like i never changed these love understand inspires and at
one point like this from from the beginning from when i was like when i initially started like
louie i was young louie you know because i younger, so I wanted to call myself young Louie.
Now I'm Louie because, you know, I just, you know, I'm older, I'm graduated and everything.
And I'm constantly evolving.
My music is constantly evolving.
Maybe if I get my doctor's degree, I might be Dr. Louie.
I don't even know.
Who knows?
You know, but, you know, I'm just, you know, kind of just playing with it, having fun at the same time, doing the things that we love.
So Love, Understand, Inspire kind of created,
this song was inspired by that journey.
And to give you guys a little bit of a glimpse,
I remember at one point I told my producer,
I was like, yo, I'm thinking of changing my acronyms,
Love, Understand, Inspire,
because I was at a down point maybe,
and I wasn't fully feeling the love from my people,
you know, and I wasn't feeling the understanding
from the people because at one point as a musician's journey,
and if you're a musician, not just a musician,
if you're a creator, if you're a journey in this life,
you might just be a regular person, you might feel this,
and you might feel like the world is against you
at one point, in one phase, in one age, in your time. But understand that that feeling doesn't last and it's not true. And
understand that that feeling is just an illusion. And you can only create the reality that you want
to change, that you want to see for yourself. And so, but, you know, and he reminded me, he was
like, yo, don't ever change it, man. He was like, yo, it's you, man. He was like, it's you. And you
remind me of that every single time that I see you. And when he said that, like, yo, don't ever change it, man. He was like, yo, it's you, man. He was like, it's you. And you remind me of that every single time that I see you.
And when he said that, like, I was, and that kind of, like, just, you know, inspired me more.
And really, you know, you know, kind of kept it, like, locked in that name.
And, you know, and made me understand that, you know, this is the energy that we need more of in the world.
And, you know, thank God for allowing me to be able to do what I do.
I don't know why I'm doing what I do,
but I love what I do, and I thank God for that.
So this is Love, Understand, Inspire.
Let's get it.
Remember that in this life, I tell you,
all we have is each other.
To love, amor To understand
To inspire
I'ma get this money, I'ma get up off my feet
Every time I see my pops come in from work, I know it's beat
I ain't gonna pay his lease, they promise that I'm gonna keep
I'm just trying to keep this focus, fuck the drama, switch the seats
If you get in my way, I won't see nothing, I just leave
I can never stop
I'm going hard
I'm going hard
I cannot slow down
You're like a race gun in the street
This is what I stand for
Look an eye up in the sky
I promise I'll do it for my
I just wanna ride or die
She loves me, this is goodbye Hoppin' up and up and up, right
Hoppin' up music on high, oh this is what I stand for
He never looking back Don't think about holding me back
So focus, I'll never lag, no I just want more
Got more, but I want more Don't know what I'm looking for
I'm alive, I'll take the Lord, oh And if you want it, then go and get it
I must admit it, I've been racing
I can feel it close, and I can feel that dose
And all my friends are gone, and I am here so close
I cannot stop,
I go, I wrote myself all blown, to keep my mood controlled, you know how shit it goes.
And if I want it, guess, I'm gonna get it, blessed, feel like I'm strong, but I don't know how long
I am hanging on, I'm writing this song What's my limit?
Should I risk it?
God's my witness God, give me a sign Anything to let me know that I'm on the right track
Anything, give me something
And I know, on this road I feel alone but Louie got hope
Love, understand, inspire Spread your weight wings you're going higher
This is what I stand for
This is what I'll die for
This is what I'll stand for
This is what I'll die for
This is what I'll stand for
This is what I'll die for This is what I stand for I feel the dose is pretty strong Sometimes I'm feeling lost when society calls a bum
I'm going home But I remember where I'm from
So I can never lose control, never subtract me some
There was no streets, it was dirt
Watch your step where you get hurt
Better watch where you were going
You could hang up with no shirt
I avert all the energies that doesn't really deserve
All the time and love I give them
But as long as they're better
I'm a current
Yo lo quiero todo
Lo voy a hacer porque yo estoy aquí, ya saben de donde yo vení, yo no
paro, no me voy a rendir, yo me siento solo, pero la gente me... me
poco pero no tienen al chico
guarda que
todos estamos acá por una razón
un propósito
búscalo
encuentro Encuéntralo, que sigo tu mano This is what I'll die for This is what I'll stand for
This is what I'll die for Thank you.
