Good morning, everybody. Welcome back.
We are in Studio 8 featuring more
of Dago's finest this morning.
singer-songwriter Veer is here
now to talk about his music and
performance and so much more.
Good morning to you. Good morning.
How are you? I'm good. Thank you.
So for folks at home that may
not be familiar with you,
tell us a little bit about your music
and where your inspiration comes from.
My music is. Like a mixture of so many
different sounds you have alternative rock,
R&B, soul, gospel. And yeah,
that's where I put my inspiration from.
And it's, it's a very unique sound and
I'm glad to be able to share with people.
Yeah, we look forward to hearing it.
So you are a chief of the US Navy.
Talk about that role and how
it has impacted your music.
Being a chief has really expanded
my ability to manage things.
And I just really want people
to understand that, like,
if you're in the military,
that no matter what you think you can
always do, you can do what you want.
You can do the things that you dreamed of.
You can sing,
you can actually excel in the Navy,
and you can do things simultaneously.
You don't have to necessarily choose.
You don't have to give up on things.
Just always remember that you have
a choice and whatever is in you.
I want you to do that and let not
even the military anything stop
those things from limiting you.
I think music is something that brings
us all together. So I have to ask,
were there times you were out to
see and did you sing? Absolutely.
I had several friends,
Aaron, my friend Brittany.
We would go up and boats in one,
y'all know what boats in one is,
what y'all let and we would just,
we would have little jam sessions up there,
You know, we would be out for
three months and we would do.
Deployments and we would just that would
be something that we could retrieve.
Almost, right? It was amazing. Yeah.
I'm so grateful for those moments.
So what are you going to sing for us today?
I'm going to sing.
Sky and I wrote this in 2015 and I think
it applies to everybody in any situation.
