Lauren Daigle: Hello hello, everyone. And welcome to the very first episode of 'Daigle Bites.'
I will send out an army
To find you in the middle of darkest night
It’s true
I will rescue you
I will never stop marchin'
To reach you in the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true
I will rescue you
Lauren Daigle: Welcome to the launch episode of the podcast. I am so delighted that you would join me today. I'm making sure that my voice is extra podcast-y just so it sounds perfect for you guys. Hopefully this is good. For those who are visually stimulated like I am, I'm sitting in a box, um, with blue Styrofoam pointy thing staring at me and I have a shirt with shoulder pads and a hat on that looks like I just crawled out of the swamp. I'm so excited to be with you guys today. It's gonna be awesome. I am so delighted to get to do a podcast first of all. Um, a lot of people have asked me to start a podcast. I don't know why everybody was you would have to say but I enjoy it. He-he. Talking at least. So I decided, "Alright, let's come up with a way to do this." So my manager and I got together and she said, "Hey, you know what? It would be really awesome if we could kind of record some of your Q&A's from the VIP sessions at each show. That could be a really cool podcast." And I said, "Ya know what? I like that idea. Less work, more play. I like this idea." So we decided to comprise your questions, turn them into a podcast, so that we can interact. It's gonna be awesome. If you're ready, let's go. The first theme that we're gonna start our podcast with is music. I love music. Music is one of my favorite things in the world. It makes me come alive. It makes every cell in my body just jump and leap with excitement. So we decided, "Let's let music be the first thing we talk about." So we have a couple questions for our very first episode. The first question comes from one of my favorite places in the world: New York City. We had a show at Radio City Music Hall. Let me tell ya. My palms were sweating. But I loved that venue so much that I wanted to design a set out of that venue. It's just stunning. If you've never been there, make sure you go. It is a beautiful, beautiful place. We got to go to the top apartment where the Rockefellers once visited and lived. That was really special treat while we were in Radio City. So while I was there, I also got this question: "How did you end up getting discovered by a record label?" And here is my answer:
INT. RADIO MUSIC CITY HALL
Lauren Daigle: I was in this band, uh, at LSU. It was a covers band and they introduced me to this other band who— They were awesome. They said, "Hey. Can you sing background vocals on our record?" And I said, "Sure." I'd never done anything like that before. Never really been in the studio. Had no experience. Super green. But this record label reached out to them after hearing their record and said, "Hey. Would you like to come up to this indie artist retreat. By the way, we have one more female spot because the girl that we were gonna take up—she, um, backed out at the last minute. So if that girl wants to come up and just pretend like she's a solo artist, that's fine." Okay. Here's some context: At the time I had no idea that this is like a record label you go out to this indie artists retreat to get signed. I had no, no idea. I'm just like, "Oh cool. A free trip to the mountains. I've never seen the snow. I'm from Louisiana. That sounds amazing. Let's do it. Also, we have to sing for some record label. Sounds great. I'll probably learn something I've never known before." That was clearly— That was like— I'm a seven on the enneagram if anybody knows what that is. I'm a full whim kinda girl. And so I just jumped up and went. And it's the morning of the showcase. I'm like, "Well, I'll just sing a cover 'cause I-I have only written songs in my bedroom, like, not for people here." And they, ya know, they s— They were okay with that. So I was like, "Alright, great. I'll sing a cover." Well, sure enough, the morning of the showcase, the lead singer of that band that I'd sang background vocals with that went up there, they-he ended up getting an emergency appendectomy. Now, for context, we're like four hours into the Cascade Mountains outside of Seattle. We're in the middle of nowhere. So he basically cut an emergency appendectomy, which is where they take your appendix out, in like a hut in the middle of the mountains. Not a hut. I'm being dramatic. But it— There was like— It was like a three-room clinic. [Giggles] And he went for it but, while he was getting his appendix taken out, they said, "Hey. Could you sing lead vocal on this one song?" And so I said, "Sure, yeah. That helps both of us. That was great." Um, not that I— Yeah. Anyway— Now that I was like, "Sure. Get your appendix taken off. I'll go and sing your song." That wasn't point but it just so happened that I was— I was in the ar— In that space and time. And I remember closin' my eyes while I was singing and it felt like— It was a feeling I've never really had before. Like everything— You know when you close your eyes, like typically it's kind of black? Or at least when I close my eyes, it's like black with a little bit o' blue. Well, this time I closed my eyes and it was white everywhere. And I felt like it-it— When I finished singing the song it felt like I had— I didn't realize where I was. Like I opened my eyes and I was like, "Oh, that's right. I'm in the middle of this showcase." Like it felt crazy. And, right after that, he came up and they said, "Hey. We'd love for you to come and write in Nashville. What would you do to be signed?" And I was like, "Oh. I'm just gonna move to Nashville. It sounds like a fun time." There's a seven. And then they were like, "Well, if you're that serious, then we'll sign you." So that's kind of how it all worked. But my friend and I are still friends to this day— That Bannon are still friends to this day. They all have babies and they're married now, and I just have a career. So there's that. [Laughs] I'm kidding. [Laughs some more] But we have a lot of fun. They're still good friends.
