This is a paid message from GoFundMe. Meet Juan Naula. When his son was hospitalized for a viral infection, Juan started a GoFundMe to pay for medical expenses.
- [00:11]
Juan Naula
It was 5k to pay the bill for my son and I need only 22 hours. It was amazing. People really trust on GoFundMe.
- [00:19]
GoFundMe Narrator
How did Juan raise $5,000 in less than a day? He posted a short video on GoFundMe telling his story in 30 seconds.
- [00:27]
Juan Naula
30 seconds. Be specific, be quick and tell. What are you going to be using the funds for? I was nervous to do it because it doesn't feel okay to ask money. But you shouldn't be nervous. Sometimes you just have to do it and see the results. We were able to save my son's life thanks to gofundme that we still have my son with us.

Kale Lowry
Welcome to the show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale, and you're listening to Barely Famous. All right, y', all, welcome back to Barely Famous Podcast. Today I have a special guest. A little bit of a confusing guest, right? I have Elijah Scott with me, but it's not the Elijah Scott that you think I might be referring to. I got a casual DM on Instagram on January 18, which, ironically enough, is my oldest son's birthday. And this is the message, and I will screenshot it so that we can put it on the screen for socials. It literally says lol. Okay. I don't know how I became your baby Daddy all over TikTok and Google, but there's got to be a way we can fix it. So, Elijah Scott, welcome to Barely Famous Podcast.
- [02:46]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Thanks for having me.
- [02:47]
Kale Lowry
And you are the singer, Elijah Scott. Not my baby daddy, Elijah Scott.
- [02:52]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, I'm not that one.
- [02:53]
Kale Lowry
What's so funny is I texted my ex and I was like, hey, I'm having Elijah Scott on the podcast. And he knew who you were over. Yeah, he was like, the singer. And I was like, yes. So that was really cool. But okay, so that's crazy. Tell me what you were seeing on social media. And tick tock, that prompted this message.
- [03:11]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So basically my actual kid's mom was
- [03:16]
Kale Lowry
like, do you have kids with this girl?
- [03:17]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No. She sent me and she was like, who is this? And I was like, what are you talking about? Cuz, like, it takes a second to get, like, in the video. Like, down to where I'm in the video. And so, like, I'm like, what are you talking about? Like, I'm watching this video and then I see them, like, put you on there and then your kid and then me. Like, they're like, oh, this is the father. And like, the videos viral, though. Like, millions of views. Like, and I'm sitting there and, like, everybody's sending me it. Like, I see it in my comments. Like, people are commenting on my, like, oh, I didn't know you had kids with the girl from the show. And I'm like, what are you guys talking about? Like, you know, so I was so lost for, like, the longest time, and then I found out who you were. And that's when I was like, I should. I. I'll reach out to you and, like, so we could figure it out.
- [03:58]
Kale Lowry
Yeah.
- [03:59]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And then you happen to have a podcast.
- [04:00]
Kale Lowry
So I had not seen the video, so I don't know what video you're talking about. If you can find it, let me know. Because I immediately was like, I. How can we fix this? Because I'm not in denial, right? Like, I know that it's probably not the greatest thing of all time to be associated with a teen mom. Like, for some people, they want to be as far removed from that as possible. And so, like, it doesn't offend. And I was like, how can we correct this? Because I don't know how this would, like, affect your music career. And, like, if you're associated with the teen mom, people might be like, I don't want to listen to his music. So for the record, we do not have any children together, and this is not Elijah Scott, AKA Elijah Scott Williams.
- [04:39]
Becky
My.
- [04:40]
Kale Lowry
One of my sons, nicknamed Elijah my Elijah, as Elijah Scott Williams. That's not his name. His name is Elijah Scott. But where are you from?
- [04:47]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I'm from Banning, California. So it's like. Okay, kind of like 20 miles. Like, I want to say, like 20 miles west of Palm Springs.
- [04:55]
Kale Lowry
Okay. And you born and raised there, yeah. Okay. And you live here now with your family or.
- [05:00]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No, I still live there.
- [05:01]
Kale Lowry
Oh, okay. And you have how many kids?
- [05:04]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I have three.
- [05:04]
Kale Lowry
You have three kids and you got into country music or just music in general?
- [05:10]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I mean, I've always listened to country music my whole life, but it wasn't always, like, cool or, like, people didn't always like it. Like, you now, I guess you could say I've been doing music stuff since I was, like, 15.
- [05:21]
Kale Lowry
Okay, and then did you kind of build a social media following and were able to kind of push your music through there, too?
- [05:27]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, well, that was all. It was all, like, recent. Like, very recent that. Well, not too recent, but, like, the last year and a half, like.
- [05:34]
Kale Lowry
Right.
- [05:35]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I started getting a following just when I started singing randomly.
- [05:38]
Kale Lowry
Okay. And so what's the experience been? Like, have you been able to collab with other artists?
- [05:43]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I know that we have some stuff, like, in the works.
- [05:45]
Becky
Sure.
- [05:46]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I don't want to say it because I don't know.
- [05:47]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [05:48]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
For sure yet. But we do have stuff in the works that I collabs. Come in.
- [05:52]
Kale Lowry
Okay, cool. I mean, I know that it's so weird in this industry and what a lot of people don't know is, like, anything in the entertainment space. Like, it could be in the works for months or years and, like, it might never happen that it's been talked about, so I understand not wanting to, like, disclose any of that. Okay, so you started with music when you were, like, 15 years old. Why country music specifically? Like, what drew you to that?
- [06:16]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I just always like country music.
- [06:17]
Kale Lowry
Yeah.
- [06:18]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I just never thought that I could be, like, a country music artist.
- [06:21]
Kale Lowry
Why?
- [06:22]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I never sang before. I barely started singing two years ago.
- [06:26]
Kale Lowry
Oh, so the singing part is brand new?
- [06:28]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. Like, I never sang.
- [06:29]
Kale Lowry
So what made you want to try it?
- [06:30]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Just doing karaoke.
- [06:32]
Kale Lowry
Are you kidding?
- [06:33]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, that's it.
- [06:33]
Kale Lowry
What was your family's reaction? Like, your kid's mom, Your kid's reaction to you getting into the music industry?
- [06:41]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
It's. It's busy.
- [06:42]
Becky
Yeah.
- [06:44]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I think it's Like, I mean, my mom is, like, super proud. Like.
- [06:47]
Ad Voice
Yeah.
- [06:49]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And I mean, everybody. Everybody's proud. I'm just really busy now, you know?
- [06:52]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [06:53]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I don't think that they enjoyed that aspect as much, but other than that, I think it's a good thing.
- [06:57]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, no, for sure. And I feel like we also need some more diversity in country music specifically. And I know, like, I feel like the country music industry is, like, so, like, white conservative, and I love seeing, like, Shabuzzi and, you know, tons of new faces in the music world. And so I think that's really cool. But. So did you start by doing original songs or covers?
- [07:18]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Covers.
- [07:19]
Kale Lowry
Okay. What was, like, your first cover?
- [07:21]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
When I actually started singing, I was actually, like, still scared to, like, sing country music.
- [07:27]
Kale Lowry
Yeah.
- [07:28]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So I was singing oldies. Old school. And the first song that I ever sung that, like, kind of went viral. That went viral was Otis Redding.
- [07:35]
Kale Lowry
Okay.
- [07:36]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Which is these Arms of Mine.
- [07:37]
Kale Lowry
And it had some success.
- [07:39]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. I think it got, like, 2 million views.
- [07:41]
Kale Lowry
How did that feel?
- [07:43]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
That's when I was like, all right, this might work. Like, you know.
- [07:46]
Kale Lowry
How old are you?
- [07:47]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I'm 25.
- [07:48]
Kale Lowry
Okay, so 25. And so you're. It's hard to break to get into the music industry, let alone, like, the country music industry. So, like, you doing that cover probably popped off really well for you. And so now where do you see. Do you continue to do covers, or do you just do, like, original music?
- [08:03]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No, I do. I do covers because a lot of people. What. I notice that, like, when they. When they find like, traction on the Internet or artists in general, they'll forget what got them where they were, and instead, they'll just turn their whole focus just straight to their music. But I mean, your first songs that you come out with and, like, stuff, everybody's not gonna like your music.
- [08:27]
Kale Lowry
Right.
- [08:28]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So you gotta still to keep growing your fan base and keep people interested. You still do what you. What you started with doing, which is. I started with doing covers. And so, like, say, like, I post. For example, I post three times a day. So if I want to promote my. So And I'm gonna sing a cover and a cover, and I'm gonna post my song in the middle of it.
- [08:46]
Kale Lowry
Okay.
- [08:47]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So.
- [08:47]
Kale Lowry
So, like, kind of sandwiching your music between two covers.
- [08:50]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [08:50]
Kale Lowry
Which. That's really cool.
- [08:51]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [08:51]
Kale Lowry
Have you had anybody that you really look up to in terms of, like, your music or your inspiration?
- [08:56]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I mean, as far as an artist, like, probably Morgan Wallen. Yeah, it's a lot like Morgan Wallen. Cody Johnson. I really like Cody Johnson.
- [09:05]
Kale Lowry
How about, like, Luke Combs?
- [09:07]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Jelly Roll is good. Yeah, Jelly Roll. They're. They're good. They're good artists. But, I mean, Luke Combs. Yeah. Like, I'm really big, though, like, on songwriting and. And how if people can feel it, like, their song can make you feel some type of way.
- [09:19]
Juan Naula
So.
- [09:20]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, like, I feel like that, like, Luke Combs is really good at that. Morgan Wallen is really good at just, like, telling a story in a song. Like, you know, something that even if that's. Even if that's not what the story is about, like, that people still. There's multiple ways that it could be related to then. Then you have a good song.
- [09:37]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, because there's.
- [09:38]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
There's multiple different kind of people that
- [09:41]
Kale Lowry
can relate to it.
- [09:42]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Relate to it?
- [09:42]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, for sure.
- [09:43]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And that's how you sell it.
- [09:44]
Kale Lowry
Tell me about your childhood and growing up in California.
- [09:48]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I grew up in, like, a pretty. I mean, I grew up, like, in the hood. Really?
- [09:52]
Kale Lowry
Yeah.
- [09:53]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So. But it was. It was weird how I grew up because, like, I lived with my grandma a lot, and so she lived, like, in the mountains, like, on two acres and shit, like horses up there. But I went to school, like, in the hood, so. Because there was no schools up there. So, like, that's kind of like where I feel like it's interesting, but I feel like that's kind of what created how I am. That, like, all the different music influences like that that were going around at the time, like, at my grandma's house, that's all that would be playing was country music, like, my whole life growing up.
- [10:26]
Kale Lowry
So do you think that was kind of your segue into, like, country music?
- [10:30]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, I mean, well, my. I like country music since I was, like, five. Like, my first concert that I ever went to was Toby Keith.
- [10:37]
Becky
Are you serious?
- [10:38]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [10:39]
Kale Lowry
Have you gotten crazy reactions from people? Because typically you see, like, a white male or super white woman in the country music industry, and then you see you and you're covered in tattoos, and you have these tattoos. Do you feel like people react in a crazy way when they find out?
- [10:53]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, but I feel like that it's a good thing. I agree that it's a good thing, but I also feel like that it makes it really difficult to, like, make it in the industry that I want to be in. Because, like. Like, for example, a couple weekends ago, there was Stagecoach. Whatever.
- [11:09]
Juan Naula
Yep.
- [11:10]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I have, like, I was. I'm watching, like, not. There's big artists that are on the lineup, but there's people throughout the day that are going. And I'm watching the artists and, like, the people that are singing, and I'm looking them up because I'm just nosy. And I was just, like, looking up their numbers and shit, and I'm just like, yo, like, I mean, on DSPs right now, I have over 40 million streams on. On my monthly listeners. Almost a million. Like, you know, and. And for some reason, like, still these venues haven't, like, reached out, like, oh, to come perform there, like, you know, or like, I mean, I'm on a good number of festivals this year, but it just. Still, I look at things like that because it's like, like Stagecoach is like country music. Like, everybody knows it for that. Like, you know, and so to get put on Stagecoach is like. I mean, they're going to want country like you to be a country. So it just made me feel like maybe they don't, like, accept me as a country artist yet.
- [12:05]
Becky
Okay, let's set the tone for the heat. In a heat wave in Delaware, and you're sweating at night, it doesn't matter if the AC is on, you have a fan on you, you are still sweating in your sheets. Okay?
- [12:19]
Juan Naula
Hate it.
- [12:20]
Becky
Don't want it to be you. I've hated it myself. That's why I'm here to tell you about Boll and branches summer bedding options.
- [12:26]
Kale Lowry
Okay?
- [12:26]
Becky
These are breathable, lightweight, and designed to keep you cool all night long. Their sheets are 100% organic cotton, woven specifically for airflow, not just softness. And if you know somebody who is about to move into a new home, maybe they're going to get married, maybe a bridal shower, and you are looking for the perfect gift. I'm telling you, bowl and branch is it. While I'm in Minneapolis this weekend, I heard from a little birdie that there's a Bowl and Branch store, and I'm going to physically go into it. I'm so, so excited. And their sheets are unlike the syn aesthetic cooling technology or the chemically treated fabrics. Okay? Because this cooling structure is literally in how the cotton is woven. So it's completely different than the other sheets that you've slept in that claim to be breathable and sleepable and not make you sweat at night. And 94% of bowling branches customers say that their sheets get softer with every wash. And I can attest to that. They've been on every bed in the content house, every bed at my house, and my kids even use them. So we are absolutely obsessed. Like I said, if you're trying to give a gift. If you want to give your bed a little bed lift, perfect option is Bolin Branch Bowlin. Branch has signature sheets, supportive pillows, cozy blankets, the luxurious comforters. But I'm here to tell you I have all of them. And I even have multiple sets of sheets because when one is being washed I want to have a new fresh
- [13:39]
Kale Lowry
set on my bed.
- [13:40]
Becky
And their waffle blanket makes a really great gift as well. And as we move into kind of back to school fall era, maybe you have a kid that's going to college, a niece, a nephew, or they're trying to set up their new apartment or dorm. This is a great option for them as well. Okay, and we're old now, right?
- [13:59]
Kale Lowry
Like if you're a millennial or older,
- [14:01]
Becky
maybe even younger, it doesn't matter. We cannot afford to compromise our sleep anymore.

Kale Lowry
I mean, I definitely think that from some of the headlines that I've read from people like Shabuzzi, even Post Malone, kind of crossing over country music, I mean, they welcomed him more than they welcomed Shabuzi or they'll welcome. I don't think Beyonce got a lot of.
- [16:07]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, I didn't really work. I didn't. I didn't like it, though. I didn't like her. Her album at all.
- [16:12]
Kale Lowry
You didn't. So you kind of follow the artists that are leaning more.
- [16:14]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. I mean, if you're good, then you're good.
- [16:16]
Becky
Yeah.
- [16:17]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And Beyonce's good. She. She can sing, but I just. I don't know. I didn't. I like country music. Like country.
- [16:24]
Becky
Not country.
- [16:25]
Kale Lowry
Like pop.
- [16:25]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. Like hella country. Well, I don't know, because I really like Morgan Wallen, though, and he's really, like, really different with how he does it. But I don't know. I didn't like her. Her album at all. It was. It was not.
- [16:38]
Kale Lowry
What about Post Malone?
- [16:39]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I like Post Malone.
- [16:40]
Kale Lowry
Post Malone's. I. That's like my favorite artist.
- [16:44]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
He's a good songwriter, though.
- [16:46]
Kale Lowry
I didn't. I didn't know if he wrote his songs or somebody else did.
- [16:49]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
What? A lot of people don't write their. All their songs. Like, you know, for example, like, I mean, I haven't really worked with no writers as far as I got yet. I've worked with like, four writers so far, and I think I've wrote 36 songs. Okay, so. But like, a lot of people don't write a lot of their music. Like, Morgan Wallen doesn't write his own. He writes. I want to say that he might write like, maybe like 40% or 30% of his music, but a lot of
- [17:19]
Kale Lowry
it's not his own writing.
- [17:20]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
A lot of it is not. Yeah, there's. There's songs that are written by, like, artists that you see him with, like, Hardy. He already writes a lot of Morgan songs.
- [17:30]
Kale Lowry
How does that work in the industry? Like, when you're a songwriter but you're writing a song for somebody else, do you still get a cut of their, like, streaming or whatever that looks like? Yeah, because I think there's a lot of controversy in the music industry, especially with, like, I think they were saying Spotify doesn't pay their artists and stuff like that. What does that mean?
- [17:51]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I mean, I guess. I guess it's just. It's just a. It's just the streams, like, stream. Every stream translates into, like, I don't know. Point 0, 0, 0, 8, 10, 0. Some weird shit.
- [18:03]
Kale Lowry
Oh, it's little.
- [18:04]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. Like, it's. But that's just like one stream. So, like, if you get like a million streams, then it might be worth $3,500 or like $5,000 or something like that, you know? I don't know, because I don't even. That's not even how I get paid, you know, because I'm signed with the label. So.
- [18:21]
Kale Lowry
Okay, what's your. What label are you signed with?
- [18:22]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
It's a label called Santa Ana.
- [18:24]
Kale Lowry
Okay. And so they're responsible to, like, get your music out and stuff like that. How does it all work?
- [18:29]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So they distribute my music. They distribute my music. And then so basically, like. Basically I'll get. I'll get, like. They'll live. They'll give me an advance for 12 songs or like for an album or something. They'll give me an advance for that. So anything that's made from it that's just generated off of streams is. They're. They're recouping their money, basically.
- [18:52]
Kale Lowry
Okay.
- [18:52]
Becky
So they.
- [18:53]
Kale Lowry
Basically they'll give you an advance and then your music will. People will stream it.
- [18:57]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [18:57]
Becky
And then they recoup their money before
- [18:59]
Kale Lowry
you get the next check. Okay, cool. What is the benefit to being with a label versus being independent? Like, you have artists like Russ. I don't know if you're familiar with him. I'm pretty sure he's completely independent. He all. He always produces his own stuff.
- [19:12]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, I think. I think he is. He is independent. I mean, I produce all my music
- [19:16]
Kale Lowry
too, but do you record in a closet or, like, what.
- [19:18]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Do you have a studio in my house? Oh, yeah.
- [19:21]
Kale Lowry
Okay, well, how much do you think you could auto to me? Like, I want to go make a track real quick.
- [19:26]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
It'll be easy.
- [19:27]
Kale Lowry
Okay, so can I do a cover of one of your songs and you'll auto tune it to make it sound good?
- [19:31]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
But that's the thing is auto tune can't make you sound good.
- [19:34]
Kale Lowry
So how do we make me sound good?
- [19:36]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
You just got to sing again.
- [19:39]
Kale Lowry
I don't know if I have enough vibrato, you know what I mean? So I got to work a little harder.
- [19:43]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
You got to sing it good.
- [19:44]
Becky
That's it.
- [19:45]
Kale Lowry
Okay, so what are the chances of me recording a hit song with you?
- [19:49]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And if you want, I'm down.
- [19:52]
Juan Naula
You know what?
- [19:53]
Kale Lowry
I just feel like if I do one song really, really well, make a couple thousand dollars, you know what I'm saying? And just like, even if people are clowning us. Yeah, it doesn't matter because it'll go viral for you. And I'll make a couple dollars. Do you know what I mean?
- [20:08]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
We should do it.
- [20:09]
Kale Lowry
I'm down. And it'll be like, not your baby daddy.
- [20:11]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. I was going to say it's got to be, like, something to play off of that.
- [20:16]
Kale Lowry
That would be. Would be so funny. So what has it been like for you on TikTok? Like, you don't want to disclose a too much information about who you are in a private life versus your music. Like, how has that been as a creator?
- [20:28]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I mean, on TikTok, I just really just post, like, my content, you know?
- [20:32]
Kale Lowry
Yeah.
- [20:32]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I go live on there sometimes or, like. But really, I just. I just post my content on there. I just post my content everywhere. That's really all I use, like, social media. I didn't even have. Have any of these platforms, like, two years ago, so.
- [20:46]
Kale Lowry
But you did them for the music, so that you could push your music.
- [20:49]
Becky
So are you on SoundCloud?
- [20:50]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No. Yeah, I think so. Well, when. When. When. When my. When the label, like, distributes music, it's gonna distribute it to every streaming platform that's possible. So, you know my songs are on SoundCloud? Yeah.
- [21:03]
Juan Naula
Okay.
- [21:03]
Kale Lowry
So that's kind of cool. I. Do you feel like you have a lot of shareable lyrics that people could relate to?
- [21:08]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I think so.
- [21:09]
Kale Lowry
Yeah.
- [21:09]
Juan Naula
Yeah.
- [21:09]
Kale Lowry
Should we play one of your songs?
- [21:11]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
If you want.
- [21:11]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, I think we should play one of your songs. Tell me a song that I should play. Which one?
- [21:15]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Play you and me.
- [21:16]
Kale Lowry
Okay, I'm gonna play it. So wait, can we play, like, 15 seconds? Is that legal? You're the artist?
- [21:25]
Juan Naula
Yeah.
- [21:25]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
You can play it.
- [21:27]
Kale Lowry
Okay. You and me. I, Elijah Scott. That is so weird that you guys have the same name.
- [21:33]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I know. And when I was, like. When I was getting, like, hearing about it, I'm like, who is this? And actually, because after my kid's mom sent me it, then I sent it to my mom, and she was like, oh, I know who that is. And then I was like, whoa, what the hell?
- [21:53]
Kale Lowry
Is there something you need to share with us?
- [21:55]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
You know, my mom always thinks I'm up to something.
- [21:58]
Kale Lowry
You might be. I'm gonna play this song. Okay. So he has an entire Spotify situation.
- [22:03]
Grainger Maintenance Engineer Advertiser
You have.
- [22:04]
Kale Lowry
You do have almost a million listeners every month.
- [22:06]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [22:06]
Kale Lowry
Wow. That's incredible. Okay, so I'm gonna play this song. Just a couple seconds of it. Is that loud enough?
- [22:19]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I can eat a little Summertime sunset. Way too Drunk on.
- [22:25]
Kale Lowry
Okay. Oh, yeah, we're doing a collab.
- [22:40]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
You can sing just a little bit. You didn't ever listen.
- [22:50]
Kale Lowry
I was trying to save it for this episode.
- [22:52]
Ad Voice
Okay.
- [22:53]
Kale Lowry
I did accidentally listen to one of the songs and I cannot remember where it was, and I was like, turn it off. Because I needed to listen in real time. Yeah, no, but so did you always know you could sing?
- [23:03]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No.
- [23:04]
Kale Lowry
So what made you try to sing karaoke? Like, you were like, I'm going to go to the karaoke with the bros. Not.
- [23:11]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Well, it's kind of my bro. It's kind of.
- [23:14]
Becca Tobin
She,
- [23:16]
Kale Lowry
your publicist is going to be like, do not talk about that.
- [23:19]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No, no, no. It's not even that. Like, it's just like, okay, my. She's a dyke, but she's my best friend. Okay, so she's like, yeah, like shadow. But she's my. She's my homie.
- [23:31]
Kale Lowry
She's your bro.
- [23:33]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
You want to call it. That's what she is. But we used to get drunk, and then one day we used to just get drunk, like, in her driveway, like, listen to, like, sad music. Because I don't know why we always just seem to be going through some at the same time.
- [23:44]
Kale Lowry
Misery loves company. I mean, misery, like pain, sorrow, all the things.
- [23:47]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Exactly. And so one day we was just like, yo, let's go do karaoke. And then I was like, all right. It, like. So we went in there and we were singing. And I'll never forget, there was like this old dude at the bar. And because the only songs on that I was, like, comfortable singing was like, odies.
- [24:03]
Kale Lowry
Okay.
- [24:04]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And so I used to always sing this one particular oldie. But anyways, there was like this old dude at the bar, and he was like, yo, you sound good. And I was like, what you mean, bro? I'm drunk. I'm drunk. What are you talking about? He's like, you should post that, like, on the Internet, like that Tick Tock app or whatever it's called. And I was like, hell no.
- [24:21]
Kale Lowry
You didn't post it?
- [24:22]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Hell no. I was like, nah. And so like, fast forward like a couple weeks after that. And we have been going to karaoke, whatever. But I had lost my job. And so I was driving forklift. And after I lost my job, I was just like, damn, like, what the. I mean, I. It was like, what the do I do anymore? Like, you know, like, I mean, you could go to find a job, but for me, because of, like, my background, it's a little bit harder. So I don't know. I just was bored. And I knew my homie. My homie had a studio around the corner, and he charged like, $20 an hour.
- [24:56]
Kale Lowry
So that's where I need to go then. Wait, so do you still have that video from that karaoke?
- [25:03]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I. I think that she does.
- [25:05]
Kale Lowry
You need to post it now.
- [25:06]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Now that you're bigger.
- [25:07]
Kale Lowry
I think it would. It would be cool to tell your story on, like, a TikTok of, like, where it started. That could be a really good move for you. But you said that you lost your job and it was hard with your background. What is your background? Are you.
- [25:18]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I'm a felon.
- [25:19]
Kale Lowry
Okay. Can you talk about it or.
- [25:20]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No, I can. Yeah, I'm a felon. I have a strike. It was because I got in a fight.
- [25:26]
Becky
A what?
- [25:27]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
A fight.
- [25:27]
Becky
A strike.
- [25:28]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
A strike.
- [25:29]
Kale Lowry
What does that mean?
- [25:29]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
It's like. It's like. It's a strike. Like three strikes. You're out.
- [25:34]
Kale Lowry
Okay, so you have one strike?
- [25:35]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. So, like, when you go to court, like, you could. You could take a strike, right? You can. You could take a strike or whatever you want to do, but if they offer you. Because they were trying to offer me, like, like a year, and I was like, hell no. Like, that's trash. Like, you know.
- [25:51]
Kale Lowry
So you didn't want to go to jail?
- [25:52]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Hell no. Who wants to go?
- [25:54]
Kale Lowry
Nobody wants. Well, I think, like, sometimes if there's, like, house arrest or prison or, like, probation or work release or whatever, like, you had an option to do this or go to prison.
- [26:03]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. So I took. I took. I took my felony. I took a strike, probation, and work release.
- [26:09]
Kale Lowry
Okay.
- [26:10]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So instead of going to jail for a year, so, yeah, it's hard to get a job with a violent offense. Offense.
- [26:18]
Kale Lowry
So how has that shaped your music? Has it shaped your music at all?
- [26:22]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Nah, I mean, I don't. I don't. I don't.
- [26:25]
Grainger Maintenance Engineer Advertiser
Like.
- [26:25]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
What do you mean?
- [26:26]
Kale Lowry
Like, do you feel like that changed? You know, kind of like what you're going through, your mentality when you're songwriting.
- [26:31]
Becky
Have you ever written songs about that?
- [26:33]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No, I don't even think I've ever liked. I think that this is the first place I've ever even.
- [26:39]
Kale Lowry
So we'll say we'll send you the episode and if you want to edit it out.
- [26:42]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No, I'm not tripping. I'm. I'm not, like. I don't really care. I'm not big, and I feel like this helps me with my success is because, like, I'm not really big on what people think about Me, as usual, I don't really care because at the end of the day, I tour, I sell shows. People come out like, you know, like 20 people that don't like me is not gonna hurt me.
- [27:02]
Kale Lowry
So good for you because sometimes I be like, oh, this person said this about me. I don't think I can show up, you know, so sometimes it's a block. This episode of Barely Famous is brought

Kale Lowry
What do you think has been like the most most surprising thing in trying to get into the music industry?
- [31:13]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Most surprising thing?
- [31:15]
Kale Lowry
I don't know because it's. I feel like it's so hard to stay relevant once you're in any sort of entertainment niche of, you know, like, any corner of entertainment, it's really hard to hold on to. Like, you get an audience, you hear
- [31:28]
Becky
about people all the time who have
- [31:30]
Kale Lowry
one or songs, and then you never hear from them again.
- [31:33]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [31:33]
Kale Lowry
So do you feel like maybe that is harder than you thought it?
- [31:37]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
It's just being consistent, honestly. So, like, even if you're not putting out your own music or still don't stop, what got you where you were going, like, you know what I'm saying? So, like, for me, I. I feel like. And I have songs that have millions of views, but I don't feel like I have like, a hit song that has, like, yet. Yeah. That has like 50 million views or 100 million views or whatever, you know. So with me, okay, so I'm just gonna keep doing covers and keep doing this and posting my music that's out and keep writing songs because one of. One of them is.
- [32:11]
Kale Lowry
One of them's gonna pop off, hopefully.
- [32:13]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
It's gotta go somewhere.
- [32:14]
Kale Lowry
Hold on, let me look up the. I need to look up the artist really quick. Hold on. The artist, Alex Warren, he did Ordinary. He did an interview, and I watched it. I think it was on like, YouTube or tick tock or something where he talked about how his team or whoever, you know, is. Whoever he works with was like, don't
- [32:32]
Becky
put this song out.
- [32:33]
Kale Lowry
Like, you need a feature on it. Wait till we have someone who will. Who will come on the song. He was like, no, I like it how it is. And he.
- [32:38]
Becky
I think he said he posted it
- [32:40]
Kale Lowry
like 35 or 40 times on tick Tock before it really popped off.
- [32:44]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [32:45]
Kale Lowry
And so I think. I think that that's like a testament to, you know, somebody's music, their. Their dedication to it. And I think to your point, you said, you know, just be consistent. There are some people. I feel like the first person that comes to mind is designer.
- [33:00]
Becky
Do you remember when he did the Panda song?
- [33:02]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [33:02]
Kale Lowry
Where the. Did he go? Yeah, he's like, I don't know where he went.
- [33:06]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I need to know another song by him.
- [33:08]
Kale Lowry
I don't know another song by him. So it's. It's. You know, you have this one crazy song and you think that's it. Or like, jello. Where the. After Tweaker, what happened?
- [33:16]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I don't know.
- [33:16]
Kale Lowry
I saw like a sample.
- [33:18]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I never thought that was gonna go anywhere, though. It was just like, this is like, I heated them and Rap. Rap. It's like, really? It's like that, like, you know, we don't have no more. We don't have no more like, YGS coming or. No, no, no. Like Nipsey Hustles or just people that stay relevant in the rap. Staying relevant for years in rap is, like, hard. And now it's even more hard because, I mean, everybody's already said everything, and now everybody's just saying the same shit over and over and over and over again and, like, different way. I don't even listen to rap music anymore.
- [33:54]
Kale Lowry
I don't listen to a lot of music at all.
- [33:56]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No.
- [33:56]
Kale Lowry
I'm listening to audiobooks, I'm listening to professional podcasts, you know, like, things like that. And my boyfriend and I, he had just. He just left. But we were talking yesterday about how, like, if rappers are not talking about sex, drugs, and crimes, what are. What do they really say?
- [34:12]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
That's what I'm saying.
- [34:13]
Kale Lowry
The last one to. To talk about anything other than that, I feel like, is like, Eminem.
- [34:16]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [34:17]
Kale Lowry
Was able to.
- [34:18]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
J. Cole.
- [34:19]
Kale Lowry
J. Cole. Yeah, he does. He does do a lot of that.
- [34:21]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And J. Cole, I like.
- [34:23]
Kale Lowry
Yeah. I actually, he. Has he made new music lately?
- [34:26]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [34:27]
Kale Lowry
Oh, he has.
- [34:27]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I think so. I think I just put out a new album.
- [34:29]
Becky
Did he really.
- [34:30]
Kale Lowry
See, this is how far behind I am with the music thing.
- [34:32]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I feel like I wouldn't know if people didn't tell me, but because I like, I like people's old music. Like, I don't like. I don't even like the new artists. I mean, the old artist, new music. I still like their old music same. So I don't even look for them to drop new. Like, I still.
- [34:48]
Kale Lowry
I'm trying to think, like, growing up, it was like, Shania Twain, Spice Girls. I think Shania Twain still, like, I would still listen to her old stuff, you know what I mean?
- [34:57]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
But still do.
- [34:58]
Becky
Who would be your dream collab?
- [35:00]
Kale Lowry
Morgan Wallen. I went to a concert with. I was gonna say with him. I went to one of his concerts last year or 20.
- [35:07]
Becky
20. 2024.
- [35:09]
Kale Lowry
2025. It might have been 2024. It was a good time. It was a vibe. And I got into country music late. I gre. And then I kind of moved to, like, a bigger area, and so I broadened my horizons with music. And then now I'm back to, like, I love country music. I think it's great.
- [35:24]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Well, I mean, I listen to everything, though.
- [35:26]
Kale Lowry
Yeah.
- [35:26]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I listen to, like, a little bit of everything. Like, I listen to a lot, just not that much rap, really, because it's just, like, played out to me.
- [35:35]
Kale Lowry
I Like old school rap that actually has substance to it. Where, like today, where it's like, come on, stupid. Come on.
- [35:41]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I be telling my manager because he has his own label. Label. And he signs, like, he signs a lot of rappers, like, out here, like, you won't even know who they are. So I probably like, he got artists, like, there's one, his name's Drexa Joint or Hem bz. Just like artists that are big out here in LA and the ie and you know, so like, for me it's just like, I try to just see like, okay, are they gonna, like, stay consistent? Because it's not hard to get one big song and then.
- [36:13]
Kale Lowry
And then fall off.
- [36:14]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, I get. And people get a big song on accident, you know what I'm saying? And I'm not, I'm not hating on them though. They're. They're good.
- [36:22]
Kale Lowry
But stay consistent. Once you have a banger, you gotta continue.
- [36:25]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
You know what I mean? I'll just be telling them, like, come on, bro. Like, I'll be telling them all the time, like, when's the next banger, bro? When's the next hit? Because I mean, that's all that matters is just keeping. Keeping people's attention. So song.
- [36:38]
Becky
So if people were to come across
- [36:40]
Kale Lowry
you because of the baby daddy mix up, what would you say? First of all, you'd say, no, I'm not him. But what would be the first song that you tell them to listen to?
- [36:50]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Damn, I don't know.
- [36:52]
Kale Lowry
You and Me. That was the first one you told me to listen to.
- [36:55]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I like that song.
- [36:56]
Kale Lowry
Okay. You have a really unique Grally like voice. Is that how you would describe it? Becky gra, Like a gravelly. So when you did karaoke for that first time, is that kind of what you sounded like or have you found your voice? Voice kind of over time? Yeah.
- [37:10]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And I feel like that I like, learned like different ways. Yeah, like, use it.
- [37:15]
Kale Lowry
Okay.
- [37:15]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
More along the line. Because like, before, I don't know, I. I definitely have grown since I listened to my old, like my old videos, like way down in my Tick tock till now. And I'll be like, okay, it's getting better.
- [37:28]
Becky
Are you on YouTube?
- [37:30]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [37:30]
Kale Lowry
Okay, so I'm gonna pull up your YouTube really quick. It's just Elijah Scott music.
- [37:34]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah. Yeah. Or it's just Elijah Scott, I think.
- [37:36]
Kale Lowry

Like, I mean, it was pretty decent. Like, it was all right. I didn't go too bad. So I told the guy, yes, but see, when. When I did the show at the bar, like, where I'm from, it was like, nothing. Like, you know, Like, I know everybody there. Like, you know, and so, like, it was like, not really a good way to prepare myself.
- [40:51]
Kale Lowry
Because it wasn't a good way.

Elijah Scott (Singer)
No, because when I. When I announced that I had a show at this other place, it sold out, like, and I was like, oh. Like, you know, and so, like. But like, I'm looking at the place and like, oh, my.

Kale Lowry
Do you have anxiety about ticket sales? Because I get like, I'm on, I'm going on tour when you go on tour.
- [45:30]
Becky
Right.
- [45:30]
Kale Lowry
And I'm checking ticket sales every single day because I'm panicking. Like, what if anyone likes me podcast, I do this live, but it's more unhinged. It's like we're playing games and we're doing wild and we're drinking.
- [45:41]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
There's like a crowd.
- [45:43]
Kale Lowry
Yeah.
- [45:43]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Wait, so what's the like capacity usually?
- [45:46]
Kale Lowry
So my first tour was smaller. It was like around anywhere between three and 500 people. And now it's podcast, so it's a little bit different. Now we're seating about a thousand at live shows, but those are like, those wouldn't be recorded and aired the way that this one will.
- [46:01]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [46:01]
Kale Lowry
So I get really nervous about ticket sales. And then I'm like, well, what if nobody comes? You don't have that.
- [46:07]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I mean, I think about it, but like at the end of the day when I go on tour, like the venues have guarantees.
- [46:15]
Kale Lowry
So. Yeah, so us too.
- [46:17]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So like for me, I'm like, you're
- [46:19]
Kale Lowry
like, I'm getting paid if I have
- [46:20]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
4,000 or 10,000 empty room if you want me to, it'll be great.
- [46:25]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, but I would obviously prefer for there to be people in the.
- [46:28]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I mean I would too. I mean, but everything's not gonna sell and I'm not even doing thousand cap venue. I mean I did, I did like 2,000 cap venues, but on tour, my venues are like 500 people.
- [46:41]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, that's what I was. That's how I started. And I was like, okay. But I would get nervous every sing time.
- [46:46]
Juan Naula
Yeah.
- [46:46]
Kale Lowry
So the fact that you got nervous one time, I'm like, I'm my pants now.
- [46:50]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I mean, tickets are moving. They're. They're good. I'm. I'm not too.
- [46:53]
Kale Lowry
Like, you're not worried about it?
- [46:54]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, no. I mean, if people come, then, like, I know that. I know to sell.
- [46:58]
Kale Lowry
Like, you know, like, you're just chilling.
- [47:00]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah, I'm not too.
- [47:02]
Kale Lowry
Okay.
- [47:02]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Worried about it just is what it is.
- [47:04]
Kale Lowry
We got a whole audience now. I'm so excited. I love having an audience, cuz it's like, gives me. It's kind of like when you're in the. When you're singing. So for me, up on stage for a podcast, when people laugh and stuff, it gives us encouragement because we're funny on stage, right? Like, this is more of a serious podcast, like my podcast with Becky out there. Like, we have fun. We're gonna play games, we're gonna do unhinged shit, right? When a singer is up on stage in front of a crowd, how do you sort of like, do. Do you vibe off the energy of the crowd?
- [47:35]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
No, you gotta create the energy in the crowd. Ah.
- [47:38]
Kale Lowry
So it's a little bit of a different type. That would make me nervous.
- [47:40]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I feel like everybody's excited to see you, but like at the end of the day, like, you are creating the energy in the room no matter what. Everybody already came to see you. So now like, you can't go up there and be boring. They're gonna be like, yo, what the. I'll never go to another show.
- [47:55]
Kale Lowry
How do you sing on, like on the beat, you know what I mean?
- [48:01]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Like, what do you mean?
- [48:02]
Kale Lowry
Like, so you know how you can go acapella, right? If I was like on a stage trying to sing and the music starts playing, I'd fucking it up. Like, you know how like you start singing at a certain point, I would it, like, I would it up. So if the lyrics are not in my ear, I'm not starting on time. Does that make sense? Like, I'm not musically inclined.
- [48:24]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I mean, after you. I. I've sang these songs hundreds of times. So like, it's like second nature. You know why? Because, like, I find myself on stage, like going like singing, and I don't know the next part of the song, but I'm like, yo, it'll come to me. Just hold on. Like, I just keep singing. Like, I'll be. I'll be halfway like through the first verse and like. Or like the hooks or like, I'll sing the first verse and I'll sing the course, right? The main part of the song, and then I'm like as I'm singing the sec. The chorus, like, I'm like, yo, like in my head I'm singing and I'm like, yo, how did the second part of the song go? Yeah, you know, but I'm just like, it'll come to me. And like, usually it comes to me like right before I gotta start saying it.
- [49:06]
Kale Lowry
Oh, no, I would like if I was a singer, I'd have to put the. The song like the me singing it in my ear so that it. I would know when to start. Yeah, I don't have any.
- [49:17]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
But if you up, you just keep going.
- [49:19]
Kale Lowry
Some people don't pick up on it.
- [49:21]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Everybody's drunk.
- [49:22]
Kale Lowry
Yeah. So everybody's drunk.
- [49:25]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
They're probably saying the wrong.
- [49:26]
Kale Lowry
Yeah, they're singing the wrong words for sure.
- [49:28]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Because I've sang my songs wrong on stage.
- [49:31]
Kale Lowry
You have?
- [49:31]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Yeah.
- [49:32]
Kale Lowry
And did people correct you or you just. Just keep going?
- [49:34]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I don't think they even notice. They might notice. Notice. Honestly, some people, I see them notice because, like, they'll start singing the part that I was supposed to say it
- [49:43]
Kale Lowry
that way and you'll be like, oh,
- [49:45]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I'm all singing this wrong. It's all my song that we're looking at each other. They're like, what the.
- [49:51]
Kale Lowry
You're like, oops, my bad.
- [49:52]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I'm joking.
- [49:53]
Kale Lowry
So what was the craziest is. Is my Elijah Scott, you being Elijah Scott the craziest name mix up you've ever had? Or have people confused you with other people before?
- [50:03]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
That's never happened.
- [50:04]
Kale Lowry
That's okay. Okay. I. When you find that video and then
- [50:07]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
it doesn't help that like he's like of my complexion. So like the kid like looks like it could possibly actually be mine.
- [50:16]
Becky
Yeah.
- [50:16]
Kale Lowry
Rio, Rio, let me, let me.
- [50:19]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
So like people are standing together. Yeah.
- [50:21]
Kale Lowry
So. But the one Rio you're talking about, he.
- [50:24]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
Because they only put one in the video and I. I can't find the video.
- [50:28]
Kale Lowry
I need to find it.
- [50:29]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I need it, but let me find it. But the one kid that was in the video did not help my situation because everyone's like, it looks like you. You're lying. And I'm like, no, people called you a liar. Yeah.
- [50:43]
Kale Lowry
I'm so sorry.
- [50:43]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I'm like, I got the pictures, bro.
- [50:45]
Kale Lowry
Like, how old are you? It's.

Elijah Scott (Singer)
My kids are five. I got two five year olds in a four.

Kale Lowry
You have twins?
- [50:50]
Elijah Scott (Singer)

- [50:52]
Kale Lowry
Oh, got it. Okay. Wasn't trying to call you out.
- [50:54]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I'm on your level.
- [50:58]
Kale Lowry

Kale Lowry
Shut the up.
- [51:23]
Becky
Yeah, that's so funny. Yeah, that is so funny.
- [51:27]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
And so like, it's like people were like, like. And then they look at my kids too and they're like, like, come on, bro. I'm like, yo, I'm not going to argue with you guys. Whatever. If.
- [51:37]
Kale Lowry
So you have two five year olds and a.

Elijah Scott (Singer)
And a four year old.

Kale Lowry
And a four year old. Okay, okay, okay. So that's so funny. I was like, how I didn't know who you were until I had stumbled across your music at some point, but I never. And I was like, oh, another Elijah Scott. But then I never thought anything of it ever again.
- [51:54]
Becky
Right?
- [51:55]
Kale Lowry
Like, it was just like, okay. And then when you messaged me, I was like, how weird is this? Like, Elijah Scott is such a. I don't know. Like, I don't like not. And it's not a common name.

When I went on tour in Texas there. I had never been to Houston, so it was my first time in Houston. And then I went to Dallas right after. And Houston was so much more fun than Dallas.
- [52:44]
Elijah Scott (Singer)
I don't know. But for me, Dallas was just so loud. Like, like.
- [52:49]
Kale Lowry
But they really appreciate country music. Like all.
