FDRMX Interview

Barry-Conrad-FDRMX-1

Last week I had the pleasure of chatting to NYC (my favorite city in the world) music blog, FDRMX, about everything from new tunes and what inspires me as an artist, to The BCS Movement and why I “changed” my name.

Here’s a short excerpt from the interview, but you can check out the whole thing by clicking the pic above.  Thanks so much to Jessica and the FDRMX team for having me!  Can’t wait to get back to NYC.

End of the Road

Growing up, Boyz II Men were always a huge influence & inspiration to me as a singer.

As an artist, I’m pretty honored to feature on this cover of their hit, End of the Road, from my friend Stan Walker’s amazing new album, Truth & Soul.

Shout-out to my crazy-talented friends, Vince Harder, Dami Im, Fourtunate & Samantha Jade, who also feature on the album.

It’s out now on iTunes, go get it!

Move or Remain

Most of the time, we already know what we need to do to solve a problem in our lives.

We can either act on it and make a change, or park ourselves in the problem and be unhappy.  It’s a choice.

Yeah, the details in-between may be messy, uncomfortable and even painful, but the choice itself is pretty simple: move forward or remain stuck.

BARRY CONRAD

Barry-Conrad-Name

The decision to go by my first two names may come as a surprise or seem random to some, but it was actually quite natural & easy.

It’s a progressive reflection of this road to discovery I’ve kinda been on over the past couple years. A lot has happened & that’s impacted every area of my life.

It’s a new time, a new beginning & I’m excited about what lies ahead…

Thanks to everyone who donated, more than $20,000 was raised – what a result!

Extra special thanks to Kasey Carr for producing an event that was not only excellent, but had so much heart.  I couldn’t be more grateful and proud to be part of it.

Rarotonga Adventure

Barry-Southgate-Rarotonga-Poster

I recently spent a week in Rarotonga with some of my best friends, to do a show and also celebrate my friend, Vince Harder’s, bucks week.

Having never been to Raro before, I had no idea what to expect at all.  Little did I know this trip would go down as one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had.

Huge thanks to all our sponsors for making it happen and for taking such good care of us.  Here’s some pics and a highlight video below, courtesy of Varo Media…

Our Rarotonga arrival had us greeted by some beautiful local people & cruising across the island aboard this party bus. You just knew the week ahead was about to be unforgettable.
