I’m like, okay, never mind, the bass player from the Chili Peppers is also the organ player on this song too. Eventually he came into the studio when I was in Baby Driver and played bass for a track of mine, and not only did he just play for five minutes straight that perfect immediately, but then, like, there was an organ in there, and he just started playing on the organ too, and I recorded that too. I’m like, "What have you been up to this week?" He’s like, "Oh, I rented a keyboard." All he does is practice playing piano and bass. This was also the same time I was filming Baby Driver, and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers was also in Baby Driver, and this guy is still obsessed with music. Like, work on your craft, and really work. So it really let me know, hey, Ansel, if you’re going to do this music thing, don’t be a joke. And then I saw Prince, a guy who’s well past his prime, and he put on one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen. I had seen another show before then, a big pop star show, that I was not very impressed by. I happened to be there, it was the last concert he ever played, and it really influenced me. Recently I went to the Prince concert in Atlanta before he died, very lucky. What’s the most memorable concert you’ve been to? I can hear the train coming right now! 7. Another metro one is like if you don't buy or refill your metro card in like 20 seconds, what are you doing? Go to the booth, get the guy to help you. Like only little things, you know what I mean? I hate it when people don't swipe their metro cards right. I feel like I have a lot, because I’m also a big Seinfeld fan, so I grew up with Jerry, and he has a lot of little pet peeves. Or say, like, I’m deceased and put the skull, like something on a meme page. But when I think something is funny, I like to post the tears-all-the-way-down emoji, or the skull, like, dead. I feel like emojis change up depending on what my mood is. And I’m not, like, that guy from that movie. Hopefully that happens more as time goes on. I like it when they know my name, because that’s always really nice. So people will come and just be like, "Ansel, I’m so excited for your music!" Which is, like, so nice that people are aware and excited about it. What I can say about my fans right now is that recently I've been very excited and very encouraged about how encouraging they have been about the music - and the amount of positive response I get, both on social media but also in real life.
