After playing two sold-out shows at the El Rey to support his debut EP, the TikTok sensation gave us a call to talk life on the road and rank his best celebrity encounters.
RUSSELL: And you just played two shows, right?It was amazing. The crowds were amazing. I mean, the vibes were immaculate. The energy was there.months prior at The Echo in March.d4vd: The El Rey, they blew it out the water. I’m gonna be honest with you. I wasn’t a fan of the show at the Echo from my point of view. The crowd kept giving me everything, but I didn’t feel like I gave that back. So I had to make sure that when I played in L.A.
d4vd: The constant on-the-go mentality. Everybody is really doing their own thing. Houston’s very chill and relaxed and when you get to New York, everybody is like hustling, hustling, hustling and I love that. I love being around workers.d4vd: Pre-show, I definitely do a lot of prayer with the fam. Post-show ritual, I get off stage and I try to talk to as many fans as I can actually.
I remember in New York, specifically the show I did in Brooklyn, I literally had to stand on top of somebody’s car to sign everything and all that.d4vd: “Take Me to the Sun.” I love that song. That’s a song with the backflips. I’ll do a back when I perform that.d4vd: Yeah, four years of gymnastics. And then I was in parkour for another four years.
My parents wanted me to do some extracurricular and I was terrible at sports. So I was like, “Let me learn a backflip and get all the girls in middle school.” The rizz was immaculate.d4vd: I mean, there’s been a backflip that went wrong but it wasn’t embarrassing. It was more fun. I did a backflip and then somebody was holding up a sign and for some reason I tried to read the sign as I was doing the flip.
umber one, this is the first one ever. I did my Genius interview at the same time Ice Spice did her’s and we crossed paths on the way out and I was like, “Hi, Ice Spice!” I wanted to say so bad, “I’m a munch,” but you know, I wanna be very respectful. I was like, “Hi, nice to meet you. I love your music.” She was like, “I love your hair.” I was like, “Oh, thank you. I love your hair too.” And then my mom was like, “Why is her skirt so short?” Bro, I was laughing so hard.
