Um, I mean, I grew up, uh, you know, when, when dad would go to prison, I would go to mom's, right? And at mom's house, mom had rules.
Michael NappiGUEST
She was married to a m- uh, to a military guy.

Michael NappiGUEST
Yes, I lived a crazy lifestyle as a young kid.
Michael NappiGUEST
I was in and out of juvenile hall.

RyanHOST
Wow.
RyanHOST
So what were the consequences of that besides, you know, obviously your parents being upset and all that, but like Juvie or anything? My
David WatsonGUEST
grandfather was already passed.
David WatsonGUEST
They took me to Juvie and then my grandmother came and got me.
David WatsonGUEST

Nichelle CarrGUEST
Basically
Michael OsborneHOST
Juvie, right? It's in Juvie that he begins to kind of develop his music.
Michael OsborneHOST
I think that's where he got the moniker music box.
Nichelle CarrGUEST
Yes, he did.
Nichelle CarrGUEST
But he had been playing, he learned organ when he was quite young.
Nichelle CarrGUEST
So he was already musically inclined and he really cultivated it in Juvie because again, that's how you, it's a way to win friends and influence people, let's say.
Michael OsborneHOST
So, okay.
Michael OsborneHOST
So that's part of what I like in this Get Up Off That Thing is that there's a self-determined life, but it's also...
