I think the first time I started singing is when my dad got me a guitar when I was like in fifth grade and then I probably started learning some Green Day songs and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I just wanted to play along. I've been singing for a long time, but I never thought I was going to be a singer as a profession. What up Young Hollywood? We are Magic Man. Welcome to Backstage Diaries at the Troubadour. Los Angeles Sam and I met in pre-school and from the very first moment we met on the playground we knew we were going to be in a rock band far in the future. No, but actually we were in lots of bands and we always had pretty good pretty good chemistry when it came to making music together.

And then it wasn't until we were traveling in South of France we started writing some some electronic music and I started recording some vocals on it and we started listening back and being like, I think we got something here. I bought it without really knowing anything about it. Uh, it was kind of before I knew much about guitars. I do remember that my girlfriend's at the time my girlfriend's mother had the exact same guitar, but like an original 70s Fender Mustang. Mine is like a re-issue Japanese made one, but I felt like a good omen at the time. Although we broke up, so I don't know what that means. As you can see, there's a lot going on in my spaceship.

I'm controlling via a MIDI signal these two keyboards over here. And they're all simultaneously firing many layered sounds. Um, so right now I'm just setting them up so they can talk to each other. This for me is kind of like soothing cuz it's the same pretty much every time unless you have something really bad go wrong. But this is like this is the routine, this is the ritual. This is this is our signature Magic Man font here. It's called Moderno. And uh, And you can only get it at Magic Man music. You can only get it at MagicManMusic. com. Uh, and we're the band here gets much, much bigger because we're very ambitious band and we're going to be playing some stadiums pretty soon.

So you know, got to think big. I have these uh, special pairs of underwear. Basically, they're they're like uh, performance underwear and so they stay smelling great for longer and you can wash them and they're quick drying so you can wash them like in the sink. You can hand wash them and then they dry in like a couple hours. So they're ready to go right after the show. It's great. Uh, I like to pass around baby wipes so that uh, after uh, a particularly sweaty show everyone can perhaps refresh their feet before uh, removing shoes in the car. Or rather after, but before the the damage is done. But I think one of the best moments so far for me was playing Boston Calling.

Uh, in our hometown, in Boston. Uh, just being able to to play a festival that was uh, obviously very exciting for the people of of Boston and so exciting for us. It was really a dream come true. We'll always have a special connection to France. That's where the band started. And uh, hopefully we can't wait to go over there overseas and uh, play Paris in Paris sometime. Hey, thank you Young Hollywood for hanging out with us with our Backstage Diaries at the Troubadour.
