Gigi · Lit Studio

[0:00]I have the pleasure of having Gigi here today uh with me. How you doing today,

[0:04]Gigi? >> I'm good. How are you? >> I'm good. I'm really excited to have you

[0:09]on. It's gonna be an absolute blast. We have a lot to talk about a little bit

[0:13]about, you know, what you're doing, but also a lot to talk about um about our,

[0:18]you know, collaborative project, WaveWarZ. So, um really excited to dive deeper into who you are and what you're

[0:25]doing with uh one of my good friends, Dope Stilo. So, um yeah. Do you want to

[0:29]give us a little intro on who you are, GW? >> Yeah. Um, so hello. Um, my name is Gigi.

[0:36]Um, well, so I, um, in the past like 14 years, um, you know, I've done like the

[0:44]traditional, um, way of like going through education, all of that, going to college, getting my degree um, in

[0:52]business, marketing u, major with a minor in computer information systems. And then um but throughout my goal was

[1:00]always to work with nonprofits and I've volunteered with nonprofits um high throughout high school. Um super

[1:09]involved in community at school and like in my neighborhood and everything. Um and then through college I was able to

[1:16]um work with a nonprofit um like officially and then continued that. And when I graduated in 2019,

[1:25]um I continued to work for them hybrid and remote. And then like when 2020 hit

[1:29]with um COVID, everything kind of became remote. Um and I had another um um

[1:37]remote job as well, thankfully.

[1:46][passage removed]

[1:51]when I turned 29 last year in 2025, um, I was like, wait, like since like

[1:59]graduating college, the the following years didn't turn out to be the way I

[2:03]want it to be. Um, and then, you know, um, with COVID and everything, um,

[2:09]everything became remote mostly for me. Um, and thankfully I was able to, you

[2:14]know, still have a job and continue that. Um and then but like fun was

[2:20]missing from my life. Um I used to do like dance and everything, film

[2:25]documentaries and all of that throughout school. Um but when COVID hit and I was

[2:31]just working remotely, I wasn't really having fun. Um it was just like work,

[2:36]fun, um I mean work, family, volunteer, and all of that. And then um my last

[2:42][passage removed]

[2:47]year like I'm gonna make it a point to have fun. Like no matter what, no matter

[2:51]work or family or anything, I'm going to make a point to do something that's fun

[2:56]for me. Um and so that was going to um a concert and that's Chris Brown's

[3:01]concert, two of them. And um and previously like my dancing days kind of

[3:07]like dwindled. I haven't like danced or like really listen to music that much

[3:11][passage removed]

[3:16]just didn't feel as connected as I used to like I used to dance every day for

[3:20]like up until I graduated college and stuff >> and um I've done community shows, talent

[3:25]shows and stuff like that and it was just something that was missing even

[3:29]though I felt like I have completed that like life of like really truly enjoyed

[3:36]the music and dance aspect of my like hobby and um interest and passion for

[3:42]it. Um, but at but I didn't want it to be like completely gone just because I'm

[3:47]not doing it as active as I used to be. Um, but last year, yeah, going to the

[3:51]concerts really felt like my soul was revived from like all of those songs

[3:57]that he played because it was the 20th anniversary concert. Um and then afterwards um because I worked in you

[4:04]know communication marketing for nonprofit organizations I personally didn't have social media um accounts

[4:11]previously while I was working. So last year I was like you know what I want to

[4:15]see what like the digital world is like now from the personal aspect instead of

[4:20]like you know when you're working for a nonprofit you have to like like abide by

[4:24]their rules and stuff. And we weren't um they weren't even for X at all. um they

[4:30]didn't have an account on there so I wasn't managing it um like a Twitter

[4:33]page but um I I chose X um and Tik Tok just because I was like okay like I want

[4:42]to have a place where I can archive all of my 20s and like previously like songs

[4:48]and dances that I admired and just like archive that for a little like this

[4:53]little break that I was taking um from work and everything. Um, and so while I

[4:57]was doing that, um, I chose Tik Tok because I've never had one. So the past

[5:02]like almost a year, um, I did that, but, um, I kind of stopped Tik Tok

[5:11]since like March of this year, but like my archive is there, like all of the

[5:16]dance and stuff. And then like X became kind of like the prominent place. It

[5:20]just kept >> I thought I was going to stop but then it kept on like like I met CEO through

[5:26]like another music community and then the conversation just kept on going and connecting with people through art and

[5:32]music that it was just like the perfect platform to continue on and not thinking

[5:37]because I wasn't like a social media person at all but um the music kept me

[5:42]on the platform I guess. So yeah >> that's really cool. I I love it. I think

[5:46]I I've heard a lot of people's stories and I think uh that they can resonate

[5:51]with the like during co not having um there's this concept of third places a

[5:56]place that you go outside of work and home a lot of people's work and home

[6:00]became the same thing. So third place became second places and lots of third

[6:03]places closed down. So I think that's really valuable is finding a digital third place. Um, and something like, you

[6:09]know, not experiencing social media and then being able to take it at the point

[6:13]in your life that you're at is really cool because you also don't have some of

[6:17]the same negative effects of social media from a lot of people who have been

[6:21]using it for a period of time. Um, and you get it a really cool unique

[6:25]perspective. So, that's really cool. Um, I love your story. I would love to know

[6:28]more about some of the nonprofits um, and like maybe how that kind of journey

[6:33]uh, came into crypto. Was it specifically through the music X spaces or is there kind of something else

[6:39]there? >> Well, so the thing is I'm not in crypto. So >> um when um when I joined X again, it was

[6:49]to just archive a couple things um of like music and dance related and

[6:54]anything in those sense or just prominent things from film from film and things like that. But um and then I

[7:02]found out about spaces and like going and like talking to people about that

[7:06]and talking to AI artists and things like that. I was like, "Oh, that's

[7:10]something new." Like I didn't know about AI music really before I joined X um

[7:15]November of 2025. Um, and then, um, Stilo and I started following each other

[7:21]February or March, like right before the battle with, um, the the guy that he did with the VB

[7:32]community. >> It's wonderful. >> The wonderful. Okay. Yeah. Um, right before it was like maybe like a week or

[7:38]so that we started following each other and then I was like, "Oh." And then I

[7:41]saw him in WaveWarZ space and I was like, "Oh, wait. This is so cool." like

[7:46]he actually makes that's why I'm so like we're so connected is because um before

[7:52]him all I knew was AI music on the X platform, right? But then when he was um

[7:58]you know posting about Ambition One and it being out and everything, I was like,

[8:02]"Oh, wait." Like this is like an artist artist. Like he makes his own music, he

[8:07]sings, he writes his lyrics and all of that. And I've never um met anyone like

[8:11]that ever. And so I was like, "Oh, this is such like a cool like music friend

[8:16]that I can have." Like I've never had friends that were like as passionate

[8:20]about like music or dance or anything like that as I was. So, so we just kept

[8:26]on talking and then um you know we were doing spaces to prep for his um his

[8:33]battle and through that is how I met um the rest of like the community um from

[8:38]WaveWarZ and then started to go um and like attend your spaces more often after

[8:44]that because it was just so cool and again your spaces are so wholesome um

[8:50]and just like so welcoming for like new And that's why I stuck around.

[8:56]>> Yeah. Well, when you keep saying your spaces, we'll have to definitely make

[8:59]sure we say hurricane spaces because hurricane >> um he is the he because his unbelievable

[9:06]passion and energy as an MC and host is there. I think that that really um adds

[9:11]a lot to the flavor. I 100% agree with you there. Uh the community and culture

[9:16]is a really big part of the communities that I'm interested in joining. Um you

[9:21]said at the beginning of that that you're not really in crypto, but tell us

[9:24]a little bit about Lit Studio um and Cyberfy, some of the projects, you know,

[9:28]you're working with Stilo on helping out with. >> Yeah. Um and basically after really like

[9:35]getting to know Stilo and like his background of music and his journey, the

[9:39]highs and the lows, um and just how super innovative he is and with all

[9:44]these great ideas and he's so like such a selfarter. um you know like he will

[9:49]figure things out, learn it um because building all of these sites um using

[9:54]lovable poof um and just you know vibe coding he taught all like as many people

[10:02]do of course but it just amazes me like he continues to do that while also like

[10:07]having a day job and everything. So um and he just like does not give up when

[10:15]something doesn't work out. he'll figure something else out. Um, but yeah, I think just really knowing his journey

[10:22]for like the past 20 years or so and um and just his, you know, perseverance

[10:29]through everything and just never giving up on his music. Um, because no matter

[10:34]the result or the outcome, he has continued to do it. Um, and so I was

[10:38]like, "Oh, this is so much fun. Like, I want to be a part of it and I have time.

[10:41]I'm flexible right now. So, like I want to support you as much as I can. And

[10:46]again, um just knowing like a musical friend who produces makes like his like

[10:53]their own music was just so awesome. So, I was like, "This is so much fun." Um

[10:58]because it's not as like strict job that I used to do with like nonprofit stuff.

[11:03]Um, so I was like, "Yeah, I'll continue to support you as much as I can, as much

[11:07]like my time allows and um and buy your album and all of that. Like I will

[11:12]continue to support your project." And so, um, I think with when kind of like

[11:18]he's had the idea for like Lit a while back, um, like but I think this year

[11:25]after the battle when Ambition won, um, I bought the album kind of like for like

[11:31]$50 because I was like on Audius and then >> yeah, you want to support him. I get it.

[11:37]That's huge. >> And then and I was like, I'm not such a merch person, so I'll put the money

[11:41]towards the music. And then another person, I think from the VV community, I

[11:46]think it was emoji or something. Um, they also supported it that way on

[11:51]audience. And I think it was from that um like how the money kind of didn't

[11:55]last. He was like, you know, I want this like the ownership and like um kind of

[11:59]like the trading and all of that to like to combine all of those into one

[12:04]platform. And that's kind of how he birthed Lit Studio. Um, and then yeah,

[12:11]we just and he's had Cyberfy a little bit earlier than that um, with the

[12:15]events and stuff and a lot of people, you know, in the crypto web3 community

[12:20]were using that site. I'm very like like excited about it and sharing their

[12:24]events and artistry through that. Um, but yeah, so I'm just like behind the

[12:30]scenes like kind of helping him brainstorm here and there. um being a little bit of a guide when he needs um

[12:38]like like pause for a second before you like you do this like think it through

[12:43]because he gets excited just like Hurricane does with WaveZStation. Um and they just want to like share it. It's

[12:49]like wait like a second. Does it work? Test it out. do all of that, guys. Like,

[12:54]and they're like, "Ah, okay." And then like, yeah, but it's great that, you

[12:58]know, like within the community, everybody's like creating things and they can like help each other out,

[13:04]brainstorm, and also like test things out for each other. And so, just that

[13:09]supportive community and the humor that you guys have is just awesome. So, yeah.

[13:15]>> No, I I love that. I think um you said a lot of things that resonated with me.

[13:20]Um, Stilo when he sent me uh the website the first time uh lit studio I was

[13:29]unbelievably excited because >> he was giving me the inspiration for what I believe I guess I'm doing now

[13:40]especially of finding out everything I possibly can about leveraging natural language to like just us talking into

[13:50]software such that we can use that to help our artists grow. And the real cool

[13:55]thing about that for me as even a person who I've got my electrical engineering

[14:00]degree and I've gone through um a technical aspect that a lot of musicians

[14:05]haven't um I get to learn from people like uh Stilo even though we have

[14:10]completely different technical capabilities just because of a the inspiration of what can be possible b

[14:17]the power and and and potential of open source tooling that's out there and then

[14:21]c like you said Stilo's determination and grit, energy. He um has an amazing

[14:29]frequency to him. what he um spits out as uh energy um what he distributes is

[14:37]unbelievably positive and I have ever since meeting him and we've done a a

[14:42]couple >> a few different things in different capacities some that haven't uh materialized as we had initially wanted

[14:50]to but I think both of us had started with the intention of just finding a

[14:54]middle ground between the two of us more and more and I'm really inspired and

[14:58]excited by what he's about to and he's one of the musicians that I intend to

[15:02]continue building the Zho uh for because the goal ultimately is to gain and

[15:08]support uh get get collaborators for for things like Lit Studio and Cyberfy. So,

[15:14]I know you're one of the the main honchos behind those two accounts. Do

[15:17]you want to share us share with us a little bit more about what those uh uh

[15:21]apps do, what what do and now you are creating and sharing to the world?

[15:27]Yeah, I mean first off um I don't have any um role in terms of like building

[15:35]the site or the platforms in any way. He did that on all all on his own. Um it's

[15:41]just that you know I've kind of you know we talk pretty often. So um any ideas or

[15:48]anything like that you know like because independent artists they what I've seen is basically like they do everything

[15:54]kind of on their own. they don't really have a team. They don't really have

[15:58]family, you know, like that can really understand what they're going through or um to kind of like bounce ideas off off

[16:05]of sometimes. And so I think um me just being able to like kind of understand

[16:12]and also give him like some advice here and there um and some guidance and kind

[16:18]of also from like a fan side of things I can like say, "Oh, maybe this you might

[16:23]want to add this or this." But yeah, he is like a brilliant person um first off.

[16:29]But um basically Lit Studio um right now you know you artists get to add their songs, launch

[16:38]it and be able to um you know mint it if they want. If they don't mint it, they

[16:44]can just add the song um and we can be somebody can um ask permission to beam

[16:49]it up for them so that it can become a song token. Um, and you know, you it's

[16:57]pretty done. Like it's done. Um, but just like WaveZStation, there's some bugs here and there that pops up. But

[17:04]um, and then for Cyberfy, just another like super easy um, event bright type of

[17:11]um, website, but it's like very towards web 3 community. Um and um earlier this

[17:18]year he's seen where when people are were so excited about it um and using

[17:22]the site to add their events um spaces, conversations um like um like metaverse festivals and

[17:32]stuff like that. Um that's kind of what the purpose is for. So it it is kind of

[17:39]built for that type of community. Um, and then I think recently, you know,

[17:46]we've like it's been tough like um handling all of those pages sometimes. And so Grockbot became um part of the

[17:56]team and it's been great. Um I was like I'm about to get replaced but he was

[18:01]like no but okay. I was like okay. But now it's really helping us and we're um

[18:06]you know looking at reports every day to make sure you know it's actually helping

[18:11]us do more um for him so and for his brand and um you know we're doing

[18:18]everything with lit to um to grow it um to make some more money

[18:26]for artist um however long that takes but um definitely not giving up on

[18:33]anything. Um, but I think, you know, we just have to like continue to like he

[18:41]continues to like um add new features to the site, make it better um after we get

[18:47]some feedback from new users um especially with like email and payments and things like that because he wants to

[18:54]make it as flexible and as like wholesome as much as it can be so that

[19:00]you know people that are not familiar with crypto, they can still use it who

[19:04]are not like super techsavvy, they can still use it. Um, and so, you know, they

[19:09]can still stream so many songs. And, you know, we're reaching out to artists um

[19:14]within X and this week actually has been like super pleasant for the lit team

[19:20]because even we're getting like songs um made about the lit team for some reason.

[19:26]This is so sweet. Um but yeah but the platform you know um we're um he made all of these p um other

[19:36]pages on X um outside of X for it too so that you know more people it can be it

[19:42]can reach more people um and you know just it's a very innovative way of um of

[19:51]streaming but then also combining um and adding the trading aspect of it and So,

[19:57]it's like very I mean it is mostly targeted towards the web 3 community and

[20:03]like um but it's also a streaming platform just on its own. Um if people

[20:11]don't want to um you know buy song tokens or anything, they can still go

[20:16]and get to know these amazing independent artists that are on there. >> Um but yeah,

[20:22]>> that's awesome. No, I think it's really cool how you have become um basically a team member to the Stilo

[20:31]World brand and that is really cool and it's as simple as you know being a

[20:36]friend, a helping hand to an independent artist that's out there. It's a story I

[20:40]think a lot of people can be inspired by and like aspire to be because there's so

[20:44]many independent artists out there. I think every one of us out there knows at

[20:47]least one person trying to do the music goal in some way, shape, or form that's

[20:51]being challenged by some some point of friction. So, it's really cool to hear a

[20:56]little bit more of the backstory, a little bit more about you. Um, definitely an absolute pleasure. I want

[21:02]to definitely hear more about um the nonprofits, but let's talk a little bit

[21:06]more about WaveWarZ. We've connected a little bit more through WaveWarZ. Um,

[21:11]is there anything you kind of want to just share uh to start off? um or ask me

[21:15]any questions as well about the background of WaveWarZ because uh I do

[21:20]have some some interesting uh info on that. I'll give you a fun fact actually.

[21:24]Let's start with that. >> Um >> my in between me moving from Portland,

[21:30]Oregon to Maine in the last two years. I had two months off. I decided to send it

[21:36]and go out to Costa Rica, visit Hurricane uh for two weeks technically and then you know my fiance came out and

[21:43]we did the whole tourist thing there as well for a week. Um >> and those two weeks were basically like

[21:48]a boot camp with Hurricane. It was the second and the third week he was coding

[21:52]WaveWarZ and there were like these crazy small things that we were getting

[21:57]through together. Um, and it was an absolute blast. And it was, um, we also

[22:01]did an in-person wait in person, uh, live wave wars back when we were doing

[22:06]NFTTS as our, um, as our voting essentially, just $1 NFTts. And I can

[22:14]still vividly remember so many crazy things from that experience, but we had honestly one of the biggest uh, turnouts

[22:19]because we were just making content together and people are excited um, about that for that upcoming battle. Um,

[22:25]so yeah, I spent two weeks out there with Hurricane uh in Costa Rica and then

[22:29]he last year came here and spent three months with me here in Maine, which is

[22:33]absolutely insane as well, which I'm sure you probably heard a little bit about. But um yeah, that's a little bit

[22:38]of a fun fact. I I spent some interesting uh days and nights out there

[22:43]in Costa Rica with him just like out in the middle of nowhere. I knew like very

[22:48]little Spanish and he was basically a translator for me. And uh it was a

[22:53]really interesting and awesome experience through that. We like we knew we could really rock out. And then um

[23:00]Candy, you know, has been there throughout the whole way for me as a Zho

[23:03]community member as well. So um I'm excited to hear a little bit more about

[23:07]like what you think about the Wave Force future. I know um how intertwined not

[23:11]only you but also Stilo um is with WaveWarZ and I mean he's been a part of it

[23:16]since since we've started. So um yeah, I'll kick it back over to you. Um I just

[23:20]wanted to share that little tidbit. I thought you'd like that. >> No, thank you. Um I mean, yeah, the

[23:25]stories you guys share in spaces is awesome. So, um any other tidbits that

[23:29]are coming out of like from your guys's experiences with each other and spending

[23:34]time together? >> I'm going to find a couple of the videos on X and and tag you in them because

[23:39]they're before your time, but I think you'll like them. >> Okay. Okay. Um yeah, I'll look I'll look

[23:44]for them. Um well, yeah. So, after that big battle and like the prep with

[23:51]Catalyst, it was hilarious. Um, Stilo and Catalyst were like the two main people from WaveWarZ that I was

[23:58]really friends with at the beginning. We just got along because we were like

[24:02]spending every day in spaces um prepping for um the battle and just talking about

[24:08]songs, how good the song a song is, the production of it, the lyrics and all of

[24:13]that. So, we just kind of bonded over that. Um, and then I started to, you

[24:19]know, join WaveWarZ just as a listener and Hurricane would be like, "Gubz,

[24:24]Gubbies, you know, come on, take a mic. Like, we want to hear you." I was like, "No." I was I

[24:30]wasn't like in the speaking sense like yet. So, I was like, I don't know what

[24:34]to say. Like, because I saw that, you know, the speakers have a rhythm, the

[24:38]jokes and everything. So, I was like, what do I do? Um but after a while you

[24:44]know um I started I think past couple of months maybe um when lit and like the

[24:52]page started to grow a little bit more and um the platform like the website was

[24:56]basically done um I was able to like you know come into spaces and like tell them

[25:02]about it joke about it and I was like and they be like oh you're so serious.

[25:07]Oh she's here everybody be quiet and he's so funny. It's like there's Stilo and then there

[25:13]is me and then so um I guess they also just like that dynamic that we have. Um

[25:18]and then it was when the AI tournament started um with Way Wars I was like I

[25:25]should judge like I want to judge like I want like I shouldn't just like sit

[25:29]because I have some like you know I I'm I have good ears for music. I didn't

[25:34]play instruments or anything like that but I have like a soul connection to

[25:38]music. Um I think also being a previous like dancer um it been like you know we

[25:45]can feel the beat really know the vibe. Um and so with that um you know I can

[25:51]give constructive feedback on songs and so I judged like I think my first battle

[25:57]that I judged was Canon versus Geek Myth the AI tournament. Um, and then, you

[26:03]know, gave them some feedback that they didn't really like. But after a couple

[26:07]of spaces later, they were like, you know, because there were like some transitions in songs. I was like, you

[26:12]know, that was kind of rough. The AI song was too too long, you know, like

[26:16]you guys shouldn't be making 10 minute songs sometimes. But I geek myth was like you know the

[26:24]psychedelic tracks you they can be because the purpose of um those tracks are for like people you know to meditate

[26:31]and all of do all of those things. So it's sometimes the purpose of the track

[26:36]determines the length of the song. um not just like how mainstreams are like 3

[26:41]to four minutes max but um you know that became a discussion the next morning and

[26:48]so I would say something and then it would become a discussion I was like

[26:51]okay oh wait you guys are like really listening to me which >> I was like oh they're forget about yeah

[26:58]they're going to forget about my feedback later on no they brought it up

[27:01]a couple of spaces later I was like oh but I appreciated that like they took me

[27:06]seriously um not being a musician or um like a person that plays instruments or

[27:12]anything like that, but they took my feedback. Um and that was I appreciated

[27:17]that. And going forward, we you know, we talked about um judging criterias and

[27:22]like what to look for and things like that. Um, and I think recently, um,

[27:27]well, like yesterday or this sometime this week, um, during one of like I know

[27:32]because you guys have changed the schedule from doing quick battles Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and then

[27:37]just, uh, music talks with Geek Myth and God Cloud Tuesday and Thursday. Um

[27:42]during those conversations, they were talking about like a different style of um judging, which I thought was kind of

[27:48]unique because when Candy said, you know, maybe sometimes we can um because you guys choose judges on the day of.

[27:56]Instead of doing that, why don't we just send the tracks to anonymous um judges without telling them the

[28:03]artist? I was like, that could actually be an interesting experiment that you guys could do.

[28:08]>> Um Hurricane wasn't for it, though. He was like, I don't want it.

[28:12]I was like, "Wait a minute." But um yeah, that happened. And then I mean

[28:17]recently um being a part of the discord and organizing that um how that whole

[28:22]thing came to be um with us to make the wave men waves track obviously I didn't

[28:28]have any um musical part in it. Just here and there like um some lyrics but

[28:35]um >> and then >> you were in the in the studio when they

[28:38]were making the track. That's a big part of it. Not only and sharing. Yeah,

[28:42]that's really cool. I'm I'm sad I missed that part. I I was there one of the

[28:47]beginning sessions just like when they were rocking out and I was like, "This

[28:50]is amazing. I want more of this. I I think we should you should push and we

[28:56]should both push for a lot more of that." Um, honestly, we should as a Wave

[29:01]Wars community develop up I mean, I I can start um and share it out with

[29:05]everyone. develop up a a studio that it can be sharable because I've seen a lot

[29:09]of products out there that are like that. Some paid, some not, some not that

[29:14]great. But I feel as though if we gave it open source and created that for the

[29:19]WaveWarZ community, people would come join in. Especially if I could make it

[29:22]really easy for them to actually add uh their suggestions in and we could like

[29:27]get that support. I think that would be really fun, especially if it could be

[29:30]tied into Discord. So, it's just like you just pop in the Discord, you don't

[29:33]have to participate too much, but there's like some actual integrations that could be really valuable. So,

[29:39]>> and I think no, like for me, like it was very special because I've never seen

[29:45]like a song in the making before. So from start to finish um obviously we um

[29:52]you know it was in in the preparation with the um for the the community battle

[29:56]with the MB with hitm makers and so um you know I kind of was pushing like

[30:03]let's not do this like choosing tracks figuring out the beats and like what

[30:08]tracks to choose for like um the finals in spaces because they can hear they

[30:13]like the other community like what do you I was such I'm such a competitor

[30:17]So I was like, "You guys aren't taking this seriously. Like we need to like

[30:20]have like an exclusive chat, an exclusive place that like we need to go." And then um that was Discord. And

[30:27]so we heard the beats that um Quan and Benny sent. And when that mind your

[30:33]business, which became man waves um song played, everybody was like, "Whoa." Especially Stilo was like, "Whoa." Like

[30:42]what? Like what song? Like I need that like ASAP. And then um on a Saturday

[30:49]um we went we were in Discord and um Stilo called me and he was I was like

[30:55]I'm in Discord and he was like you are I was like yes and then we he joined and

[30:59]then that's kind of how men waves became because and then that was also their

[31:04]first time using Band Lab. Um, and so it was like all these new tools and like

[31:09]new they just stripped off um the lyrics from M um Mind Your Business and then

[31:15]they were just I was like like one person like Stilo was doing his thing

[31:20]kind of listening in um from like Hurricane's um recording session because I was like how are you guys don't you

[31:26]guys like need to sit down like not sit down but like video chat and like write

[31:30]the lyrics and stuff? It's like no like they were just going off of each other

[31:33]and it just came to be. I was like, "This is like the coolest thing ever."

[31:38]Like I will this is like a music memory like my brain will never forget. So,

[31:44]>> um, and Candy was there and adding some like the different like sound effects

[31:49]like at the beginning and in the middle the shock and the car sound like she was

[31:54]like putting those sounds in the chat, finding them somehow >> cuz he's so resourceful.

[32:00]>> Yeah, he's so resourceful. Um, and so it all just it was such a great time and

[32:07]I'm glad I I took a little clip of it because I just posted it today, too. Um,

[32:12]just it was it was beautiful. So, I'm so thankful that that happened because wow,

[32:18]it's it's awesome. >> I love it. Thank you, Gigi. That was that was awesome. I love so many things.

[32:24]I want to keep keep talking. I would love to know like if there's anything

[32:29]else you want to share about WaveWarZ. um where people can find you. I believe

[32:34]this is gonna be your ex if anyone wants to tap in with Gbernomics

[32:39]um as she's known. But uh but yeah, if you want to say any final thoughts,

[32:43]would love to hear, you know, maybe maybe the future of some of these things

[32:48]uh and your takes on that. >> Yeah, just um to kind of con just to um

[32:55]summarize my ex purpose in a way. Um, so my page will always stay as an archive

[33:02]because I have kind of continued that. And um, initially I was just adding

[33:08]songs and scenes and things like that. And then when my time on X didn't start

[33:14]to come to an end, I was like, "Oh, wait. There's so many like great artists

[33:18]like who have like all these AI art and things like that." I was like, and then

[33:22]what I started to do was whenever I would see an art on my timeline, a song

[33:26]would come to mind and I was like, "Oh." And that's how my long awaited like

[33:32]series that the song art match that I've been doing for months now. That's how it

[33:37]started. Um, and so, you know, I continued that because it's been such a

[33:42]fun thing to do. And it's also throwbacks to like songs I grew up with.

[33:46]Um, and that's kind of how I've kept my page. but then also you know going to

[33:52]comments and outside and spaces um and other people's post to support um of

[33:58]course being the main priority person um just because now I just you know knowing

[34:03]his journey and everything and his projects really well um that's just kind of become like my main thing that I want

[34:11]to support um and focus on um and then being a part of wave worse and joining

[34:17]to judge or just being like a body in the space um is all always such a fun

[34:24]thing to be a part of and in conversations if I can um offer any type

[34:28]of insightful advice to the team um I'm always there and yeah but it's my main

[34:36]purpose I think since like finishing off my 20s and really trying to find fun um

[34:43]music became like the reminder of it all um knowing that I think in my life

[34:48]through everything. Music and dance were a constant that like never changed how I

[34:54]felt about them and the same um that those things did for me. And so through

[35:00]everything like through the community battles, back and forth banter and everything um the music always like wins

[35:08]at the end because um I think that's like the obviously the common thing that

[35:12]brought us all together. Um but for me it's always about the music. Um as and

[35:18]then I think right now I I do feel like wave wars is having some type of like a

[35:24]shift in phase of like how they're operating you know like the spaces I

[35:30]think when I joined first a couple months like back at the beginning of

[35:34]this year it used to be a lot of jokes like a lot of jokes um and of course on

[35:40]the side still having like those um you know work focused new um AI I or like

[35:47]new technological advances that they're finding to kind of build on their artistry. But I think now there's a

[35:54]little bit more focus um in their conversations. Um and I think after these like major battles winning um the

[36:04]community battles and other like within WaveWarZ battles that they've had and the feedback and the conversation from

[36:11]outside people within Waveor community and everybody just giving each other feedbacks um their innovation is starting to

[36:19]change. I I think I've seen that very well. Um and going forward it just seems

[36:24]like I don't know it's like in definitely on the right path that's for

[36:29]sure. But um everybody's also like it's it's not the same like everybody's spending time in the same space all the

[36:35]time like they all everybody has like their own things going on um and you

[36:40]know taking some time away here and there but still coming back to ways

[36:44]because that space um it's so like I said wholesome and just everybody's like

[36:50]can come back share what they found share what they're doing um support each

[36:55]other test whatever they need to test for each other Um and yeah, you know,

[37:00]like Grothbot um recently in the past two weeks was when CEO got like he

[37:06]wanted to work on it um and add to all of the accounts because I told him, hey,

[37:12]like you know, for some of the graphics that you need to work on or something,

[37:15]use Grog because the lit account has that. And then that's when he was like,

[37:19]"Oh, wait. Let me check out Grockpot." And then he shared it in the wave war

[37:23]space and hurricane now uses it for like all of these quick battle like posts and

[37:28]videos and that's like the talk of like topic right now which is hilarious. But

[37:33]um yeah, so you know it's just a very innovative space with humor and music

[37:39]and like who wouldn't want to be a part of that? So that's what keeps me coming

[37:43]back, the music and humor mainly and the people of course. But um yeah

[37:49]>> that's awesome. I love it. I I love it a lot. Thank you, Gigi. I appreciate it.

[37:54]>> Um it was an absolute blast to chat. Uh I think we'll definitely need to do

[37:58]another of these. Uh and maybe a little bit of a planned insight into Waveforce.

[38:03]I have a couple fun things that I'm working on on the back end that I think

[38:06]will be really fun. A couple things that you talked about here that will align

[38:10]with the Wave Force protocol. So, we'll definitely have to be back in uh in a

[38:13]few months. Like you said, we're we're in a crazy transition phase. Um the

[38:17]focus is there and it's really exciting because so many things are emerging. So

[38:22]um thank you so much for joining joining me everyone here popping in. Um you know

[38:28]we got an interesting conversation. Candy said you know we love you love hearing your story.
