WE LOVE TUESDAY
TUNES AND TODAY WE'RE
HAPPY TO WELCOME MARC
MERCADO TO "LIVING 808."
HE HAS A NEW ALBUM
COMING OUT AND WELCOME
TO "LIVING 808" FIRST OF
ALL.
HELLO.
TELL US ABOUT THE
ALBUM EVER SINCE LIKE
TWO YEARS AGO.
I WAS IN MY SOPHOMORE
YEAR AND I DECIDED TO
PUT OUT A SONG BACK IN
DECEMBER AND THEN PEOPLE
WANTED -- DO YOU HAVE AN
ALBUM OUT, IS IT ON
SPOTIFY OR ITUNES.
SO I'M LIKE MAYBE I
SHOULD MAKE AN ALBUM AND
YEAH, I DID.
HERE WE ARE NOW, IT'S
CRAZY.
THIS IS EXCITING.
WHAT IS IT LIKE PUTTING
THIS IN PROCESS FOR BOTH
OF YOU?
WE'VE BEEN ACTUALLY
DREAMING ABOUT THIS
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF
THIS YEAR BUT WE DIDN'T
HAVE TIME AND IT WAS
ONLY SUMMER WHEN WE WERE
BOTH LIKE YEAH, LET'S
JUST GO FOR IT, LET'S
JUST DO IT.
WRITING THE SONG THAT
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO
SING AND PERFORM TODAY,
IT DIDN'T TAKE TOO LONG
TO WRITE BECAUSE WE WERE
BOTH SO FOCUSED AND
PASSIONATE ABOUT WORKING
TOGETHER.
THAT IS SUPER
EXCITING TO SEE IT COME
TOGETHER AND WE'RE
BLESSED TO HAVE YOU HERE
TODAY.
WHAT ARE YOUR MUSICAL
INSPIRATIONS?
I HAVE A LOT.
ME TOO.
WE CAN GO WITH THAT
TOO.
I COULD SAY MUSICALS
BECAUSE OF HOW NOT ONLY
THE ARTISTS OR THE
PERSON WHOSE SINGING IT
SHOWS THE EMOTION BUT
ALSO THE WAY THEY
DELIVER IT IS SO HEART
WARMING.
LIKE LEAH SALONGA.
SHE'S AMAZING.
I WAS INSPIRED BY MY
MOM BECAUSE I GREW UP
WITH HER '80s AND
'90s R&B TYPE OF
SOUND.
THE NEW STYLE TODAY.
WE CAN'T WAIT,
WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU,
WE LOVE TO HEAR YOU GUYS
SING.
