after you got like five six tickets you wanted to go a to win a yo-yo not another the day to waste you know the the F part Camp was that it was a mic and it went to like they had like three camps and in the 3 weeks um there was there was no music so I would um I would sing on the mic I remember singing uh um alar from P you know that yeah of course yeah that's a classic wow so okay so you were singing already in youra in Camp you were singing yeah but it like like yeah so um but but I I didn't consider myself as a singer or so on like see everybody sings right right let's get a [Music] rendition [Music] he so brother Barry how a old start where did you start with music H I don't know the previous G Gilgo it could have started but at this Gil go uh as a kid um I I I mean like you're talking about in a professional yeah certain level so you know so in Camp was all fun and so on but um once I turned like 910 I got approached by JJ freed he was producing uh he was working together I remember with uh Ding and with MBD and so he started uh hooking me up with these uh solos and albums various albums as a kid as a kid okay one of the most unique ones that I remember was uh I sang on a Jep album I didn't even know what Jep is at the time and um it was Jeet 5 and there's a song of about the Civ civer rebi yeah and the song is about you know how he uh how he took that song from a shepherd and and you know and he turned it into a s that that was on yes I'm singing I'm singing that once they finish a song they like the I'm singing as kid I'm singing that verse you know the song you know the words wow oh this is not going to make it up the hill no this is wow that's pretty wild I got to go back and hear that album Now je five what would come after that what was the next but once I once I got my hat on I was 13 shop was closed done forget never happened why is that let that was you know that was the policy of the father I think it was a smart move okay um because you know I he wanted me to to realize that um you know as a kid I don't know you know what I don't know he had his thing and I respect that once I got older um I didn't even consider singing although when I was in Israel and I learned the mirr I got my first guitar in the Shar AI oh and um just because I like The Humbling part of it you got a for 20 sh how much is this guitar how much I have I say 100 check no go away and then I start walking they're like okay b b b Bo okay 150 I'm I'm like no no no no only have 100 okay go go go go then I go he's like okay come come under 20 and so on and so on I made it to 50 shekels you under I made he He was cursing me out I got I got a guitar for 50 shekels I decorated with n stickers oh wow and I had a complete look I used to go every Thursday night we used to go to covit we used to sit there every Thursday night and I would jam with my guitar I remember I learned my first chords one through three then I composed songs and we used to sing there you know all night until until went to I went to amazing I didn't even know you compos songs you compose songs brother of course of course you know yeah of course yeah yeah that's that's one of my songs was that on your first album no that was on my thank you thank you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's great wow great by the way I see you were in The Vibes you were groving already in N Ro yeah so we used to sit around for br and comes up that's where it all starts yeah okay that's that's when I started I started realizing you know what what what life is about I mean I've been in Israel when I was 13 14 but you know what living there you know being a part of that of that you know you know it's your daytoday thing it just gives you a whole new reality I really started getting a a a sense of pus um it was M the best for me to you know before I got married you know later I went to I got married in Monroe wow Monroe Monro curious y K it's funny because when I got married I I didn't pursue a career of singing like I didn't see myself as a singer and I started doing construction oh really wow you know who my manager was Yi l y in construction that is just greatness but you got married in Monroe what did you walk down to what's that what song did you walk down Thea but the 2008 crash came and it was just no work I stayed home and my wife told me about a her friend's husband that uh used to go after K used to go at night like a studio that someone had then they they did backup vocals and they got paid $12 an hour which was more than I got my professional I was like what you get $12 an hour and all you need to do is sing sign me up this is a wild story ni I went down there with my n guitar and they were like huh and guitar you can play and sing like and the guy that you know the guy who saw that you know I have some uniqueness he uh called up naali schnit which his friend got married okay and U naali schnitzler actually wanted to produce a singer so that's how I got into my first album wow wow wow and uh the song that I compos my first album is aeim you know aeim yeah it's a song that I was basically Longing To You Know right right it's a beautiful song it's beautiful song Somebody told me he thinks it's bigger than than Reb I'm not sure about that huh I see them oh is it really in a sense it's [Music] deeper oh takes you takes you very deep takes you very [Music] deep me gu [Music] oh me gu [Music] m is fire brother Barry you mentioned that you had n stickers on your right I don't know if that's mgal or anything but I want to know when did you get into the when did you get into that when was that so that's a good question but you know what I'll ask you first I realize your payis is going acled the other way other way so you're aware of that of course I'm aware of that I always my entire life I had to be different so I was like but I'm going to make the I just you're the you just realized I just realized this Wow first time I went to bre of is when I uh the they the rash before I got engaged um whole funny story andan you know thanks to um and uh when I when I when I got married I lived in Monroe so over there I went I DED by my yeah um but then when I moved to M I didn't have a sh way to D so my wife suggested maybe the first you know you always had a dream to go to to um after you know you know so may said that my wife yeah my wife helped me with that and since then I always went wow so so you know what's the first TI how how how does start starts with that that Inon where it says yeah that's what I'm saying Inon that that that was from of so for me was you know was getting into more so you have a song [Applause] [Music] about you know the old C they have like this switch that make the car go up and down you don't have that [Music] if I had to guess this is your most famous s uh in a sense yes I would you know between this and Reb probably and Y but Reb Reb really like span for a long time like it really got into the hearts of people still me yeah yeah I mean in my sense you know I think it's it's like a slow thank you Hashem song you know when I did thank you Hashem um 8 years ago I didn't he song it didn't
