Chill Moody & Donn T On Their Soulful New Project &More Backstage At Roots Picnic

Facebook Twitter Email
Philadelphia duo &More are bringing a conversation that began among themselves to the greater world through their debut album, 'Ethel Bobcat'
Nate Hertweck
GRAMMYs
Jun 2, 2019 - 2:50 pm

As cliche as it may sound, the unspoken goal of any high-profile musical collaboration is becoming greater than the sum of its parts. When two staples of the Philadelphia music community, Donn T and Chill Moody, joined forces to create &More, the result was a debut album that united a collective of Philly musicians and embodies the spirit and soul of a city built on music.

&More On The Philly Music Scene & 'Ethel Bobcat'

But their debut album, Ethel Bobcat, goes further than resting on its contributors reputations. With songs like the infectious "Whoa" and the deep "Future Coming Round," it accomplishes a goal Chill Moody outlines as "starting a conversation." The Recording Academy caught up with Donn T and Chill Moody in Philadelphia backstage at this year's Roots Picnic to talk about &More, their recent NPR Tiny Desk performance, the Philly music community, and more.

This is my first Roots Picnic, but I'm curious, you guys are such staples of Philadelphia, what does Roots Picnic mean to the city? 

 
Donn T: Absolutely. It's my third time doing it, twice as a solo artist, Donn T. First time with Chill Moody as we are &More, but yeah, it's historic. It's an institution.
 
Chill Moody: To me it's like a big family reunion, like it's people you may not see, [but you see] at the Roots Picnic every year [and] when you see them, it's like you've been hanging with them every day. It's just love and everybody's having a good time.
It's my fourth time performing. Well, it's the third one in Philly and then I did the New York joint. Every time, it's just like the same love. Everybody is really excited to see each other. It's bigger than the stage, it's just the camaraderie and like I say, it's just family.
 
Philadelphia's always felt that way to me.
 
Donn T: Yeah, for sure. A lot of artist support, right? It's like artists supporting artists as well as the public supporting us, so cool.
 
Ethel Bobcat is such a collaborative process. What do you feel you accomplished with this record together that maybe you couldn't do alone?
 
Chill Moody: The goal with the record was just to start a conversation, continue a conversation that we have with each other and in our circles, but expand on that and just get people talking. That was the only rally call, if you will.
 
Donn T: Yeah.
 
Chill Moody: Let's talk about what's going on and from that hopefully find solutions, but it's not like, "Here's the solution." It's like, no, "Here's the problem." Let's talk about this. Let's talk about what's going on in the world right now and let's figure out what we're going to do.
 
Donn T: In a really musical way, too.
 
Chill Moody: Right, right.
 
Donn T: So it's not like we're on a soapbox or anything like that, [we] just do it in a fun way, in a profound way. Just have fun with it and be really musical. So, that's the feedback that we're getting about the album, which is cool. 
 
We were talking about the NPR performance before the interview, what a trip to be on that. Could you tell us a little bit about the process, how you got involved with NPR Tiny Desk?
 
Donn T: Absolutely! Well, we submitted to NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, and we didn't win, but it was really great because afterwards we were contacted by Bob Boilen and he wanted us to do a concert because they were so impressed by our submission. So, it's cool. It was the song, "Whoa", and that also appears on our debut album.
 
 
I love "Whoa." I love "Future Come Around." I think it's a great kind of nightcap to the album.
 
Chill Moody: Word, word.
 
From what I read about it, it came sort of late in the process. What can you tell me about that song and what it meant to you to wrap the record like that?
 
Chill Moody: Donn actually found that first. Her and Ben were in the studio and they hit me up and was like, "Yo, we got one. We got the piece that we didn't know we were missing to this album," and the hook was already on there, and I think Terry—actually, it was Helen or Terry. They called me and was like, "Yo, what is that playing in the studio right now that they're working on? Whatever that is, that's y'all one right there," so—
 
Donn T: And that's funny. When they said that, we didn't really know what it was.
 
Chill Moody: Right, right, right.
 
Donn T: Because I hadn't gone by ... I remember that day, it was really clear. I had stopped by the studio to pick up something. I didn't even go in to write and I poked my head in, said, "Hey, what's up, Ben?" And he happened to be playing something and I was leaving. I was like, "Oh, that's dope." And then I walked to the other side of the door and I couldn't leave ... I started writing ... I could just hear the hook, and I'm thinking, "Wow, I didn't plan for this. I got to go back in and record this" and so, it wasn't even my session. I just bombarded, and yeah, we put it down. Helen and Terry came by and yeah, Chill got on and it became a special one for &More.
 
That gave me chills. I love that story.
 
Chill Moody: Word.
 
When the music stops you in your tracks.
 
Donn T: Yeah, yeah.
 
Chill, did I read that you are the Music Ambassador of Philadelphia? Can you talk a little bit about that?
 
Chill Moody: I've held that position for I think like six years now? Councilman David Oh appointed me to the position. Just me serving is like a liaison [between] the artists of the city and the people who could help provide opportunities and whatever ... So I'm kind of like the middle man, glorified but it's like also, I get a chance to figure out the qualms that we may have in the city with how we treat our independent artists and also provide some opportunity that people aren't really in tune to. Like knowing [what] we need in the city.
 
From that, we started the Philadelphia Music Industry Task Force. I'm a founding member of that as well, and [it's] just more of just getting simple stuff done, but stuff that might just be going under the rug, that you might not know we need for the independent artists.
 
Sort of like loading zones?
 
Chill Moody: Loading zones, right, like simple stuff like that.
 
Donn T: Really important.
 
Chill Moody: Right, but in travels, I see how a city like a Nashville or Austin and even in Toronto, how they treat their independent artists. How they understand that that music that they make is like an export from that location, and trying to bring that back into Philadelphia and explain to people here, the powers that be, if you will, what we can do to compete. Because talent-wise, nobody is messing with Philly, and I stand on that. Industry-wise, we need some help, so it's like A-level talent, maybe like C-level industry that we got to kind of work on.
 
Donn, I want to ask you, you're so deeply rooted in the history of this town and the music culture here, but this is a forward looking project and a forward looking industry, frankly. What do you see when you look ahead, the future of Philadelphia music, knowing everything that you know and that is ingrained about, what are you excited about? 
 
Donn T: Innovation. It's innovation and what I've always been excited about. Like Chill said, hands down, nobody can touch Philly musically and that's what I love about Philly. Philly is always surprising you musically and there's always the freedom to reinvent in Philly as well, which is kind of what I've done as an artist, Donn T, you know as a solo artist, and then various collaborations, and then my collaboration with Chill Moody, with &More. It's always about that fresh look, and Philly, we'll applaud you for that. We can be tentative, but when something is dope, you know we have to get the nod, all right?
 
I like that. What's next for &More? What are you guys looking to do?
 
Donn T: We're on tour right now. We're headed down to North Carolina.
 
Chill Moody: Literally tomorrow.
 
Donn T: Literally.
 
Chill Moody: Flying into North Carolina to perform with St. Paul & The Broken Bones. Got a couple dates with them. Yeah, just more tours, festivals-
 
Donn T: Yeah, more tours. Absolutely.

If you haven't yet listened to singer/songwriter and producer Amber Mark's "Mixer," stop and do so now. While you're at it, press play on "Love Me Right" too. 

The New York-based artist raised traveling the globe is showing her worldly musical inspirations through 3:33 am, greatly inspired by her mother's death, and 2018's Conexão EP. Her sound is a fresh mix of soul, bossa nova and R&B that she prodcues herself and the world needs to listen. 

Amber Mark On "What If" & More

When she's not creating her own stuff, she's collaborating with creatives like GRAMMY-winning songwriter, musician and producer  Andrew Wyatt, who won a golden gramophone at the 2019 GRAMMY Awards for Lady Gaga and Bradely Cooper's "Shallow." 

The Recording Academy caught up with Mark at Governors Ball in New York City to talk her next single "What If," what soul music means to her, the advice she has for aspiring music artists and more. 

It's your first time here. Tell me what your impression is of Governor's Ball.

This isn't my first time being here, but it's my first time performing, so it's been a whole new world for me. It's really exciting. We just finished performing and I'm still like high from it, from the adrenaline and stuff like that. It's been pretty amazing. We performed on the main stage and it was my first time having like back up dancers and stuff like that. We kind of did it big this time around and I really enjoyed it. I had a really good time. The audience really loved it and now I just got golf-carted here by Redman, so I'm having a really good time. 

That's amazing. It sounds surreal. It sounds like a dream that you have. 

It's very surreal. I don't feel like I'm actually doing this right now, at all. 

"Mixer" is everywhere now and you just released a visual for the acoustic version. Tell us about that song. What does it mean to you and why was it important for you to give it so much love? 

It's one of my favorite kind of dancey songs that I've put out ... I'd always put a lot of meaningful songs out and stuff like that and I really kind of just wanted to have fun, kind of like a jam ,vibe song out as a single. Andrew Wyatt approached me with it and said that he thought this song was perfect for me and that he kind of wrote it after he had seen me perform. And that inspired the whole lyrics behind it and stuff like that. I heard it immediately and was like yes, I'm so down, let's do it. And then one thing lead to another you know?

It's a tough act to follow... what's next for you, musically?

I was actually working on a visual for a new song that's coming out called, "What If." It's going to be out next week, it's really exciting. It's like my baby. I love that song. I've been working on it for two years now. So I'm glad it's finally out ... Or will be out. We were working on the visual for that, and I've just been rehearsing like non stop for this show. I've never like done choreographed dance before. So it was a lot of that. It just was a lot of me dancing and rehearsing with the band and visual shooting and all of that stuff.

You've had a huge year since we first saw you last year on tour. What for you personally and artistically has changed in the past year the most?

I think the performances have been like a huge change for me and just how I go about putting out music, I think understanding the flow of that more and my knowledge of production and stuff like that. I think I'm still pretty slow when it comes to that because I really like to take my time with lyrics and stuff like that. But, as far as just not being as nervous of being in the studio and not being as nervous about putting music out and what people will think about it, and all that stuff, really just kind of going from inside and what feels good to me, .I think I've really learned a lot from.

You're such a soulful artist - I'm curious what "soul" means to you. Not as a genre, but just as a term or a concept.

That's a good question... I think soul to me personally is more just expressing what is inside of you, what you're really feeling strongly. A lot of the time for me, personally, I've always had a hard time expressing myself because I wasn't really sure that what I was feeling was the right feeling, or I wasn't really sure what I was feeling at all. That's why I kind of turned to music. I think it's just really gaining understanding of what you feel inside and really just believing in that and being passionate about that, no matter what it is. It could be being a janitor, it doesn't matter. As long as you put soul into it.

Do you have any advice for anybody that's getting into this world? Maybe what you wish you knew? 

I think you should really follow your heart. I think that's really important because I think that's what people will really direct towards, is you being yourself. I think just put your music out there, don't feel like you need to go to a label and stuff like that. I just put my stuff out there after waiting years and years and realized that I don't need to rely on people. And that's when people started coming to me. So, I think that's the most important part, and just always believe in everything that you do.

Anything else you wanted to mention, or talk about that's coming up?

Redman is driving a golf cart, so if you're here, you probably won't know this because I don't know when this is coming out. But he's driving a golf cart here, and it's pretty insane. And I'm freaking out!

What Makes Roots Picnic Different: Inside Philadelphia's Annual Musical Celebration That Feels Like "It's Just Family"

The Recording Academy went backstage at the fest that celebrates Philadelphia's rich musical heritage, rap and R&B's talent-drenched future and the 20th anniversary of the Roots' 'Things Fall Apart'

In a music world saturated with festivals, full of massive multi-day, multi-genre experiences, Philadelphia's Roots Picnic just feels different. Perhaps it's the local-heavy lineup, the laidback atmosphere, or the soulful spirit of the city, but more than anything, it's the music.

"There's no egos, everybody really just comes to have a good time, that's what's perfect about the Roots Picnic," says producer/engineer and Philadelphia Chapter board member Dilemma. "You get exposed to new music, new artists and you come to be entertained." 

Inside Roots Picnic 2019 In Philadelphia

While the gravity of its hosts, GRAMMY-winning Philly band The Roots, and their many musical collaborations and connections may be what attracts the masses to the festival (you never know who will take the stage,) most of the day's music rings out with vibrant discovery of new sounds coming from each of the Picnic's three stages. From burgeoning local rappers on the Cricket Stage, to breakout experimental artists like Tank & The Bangas on the Mann stage, to upcoming queens like Asiahn and Ari Lennox holding court on the Fairmount Park stage, the festival boldy faces forward, embracing its historical ties to the black community.

"This is my first time at Roots Picnic. It's been a beautiful experience, nice and black and soulful," said Lennox. "I love Philly, so it's a dream—I've been hearing about it for years, so I'm glad I can finally be here and sing!"

Since 2008, Roots Picnic has brought together Philly's staggeringly talented music community to host artists from across the nation for what basically is one big party. 

"To me it's like a big family reunion," said rapper and official Philadelphia music ambassador Chill Moody after performing with his new project &More. "There's people you may only see at the Roots Picnic every year, but when you see them, it's like you've been hanging with them every day.  it's just love and everybody's having a good time… It's bigger than the stage, it's just the camaraderie. It's just family."

Where many festivals find themselves too corporately lucrative to stay focused on a family atmosphere, Roots Picnic has managed to keep this in perspective. This energy is perhaps best exemplified by the unique Live Mixtape, presented once again this year by J.Period and The Roots' Black Thought featuring a string of guest appearances honoring and celebrating hip-hop, including an iconic mini-set with the great Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def.) All afternoon, the Mann stage at Roots Picnic feels like a backyard family party, excpet the bass thumping isn't shaking a house, it's shaking the walls of the dressing rooms below.

A Philly music mainstay in her own right, Donn T spoke concisely as to why the event feels familial: the mutual support.

"[It's] artists supporting artists, as well as the public supporting us," Donn T said, adding, "It's history, It's an institution."

The Roots have been able to create an atmosphere that doesn't just show love to local artists, but different kinds of artists from all over.

"Everybody's here. The DJs are here, the artists are here, the producers are here, the fans are here, and there's great energy when other top artists come to Philadelphia," said Dilemma. "When everybody's under the same Picnic roof there's a great energy, it's always a good time. The Roots always know how to show Philadelphia and on a great scale."

But like any party, there's nothing like showing love to the hosts and this year Roots Picnic main event celebrated none other than the band's 20th anniversary of their classic fourth studio album, Things Fall Apart, with a whole performance of the album that included a surprise appearance by Common. The album, released in 1999, is in many ways The Roots' breakthrough and a major part of their journey towards becoming household names with critically acclaimed, GRAMMY-winning albums and a high-profile gig as the house band for "The Tonight Show." 

"The lyrics and the songs still relate to today," said Dilemma. "Seeing how well it was put together… the production, and just seeing how young they were when they created it—it's Philadelphia's Illmatic," he says referencing rapper Nas' renowned debut.  Donn T, hesitant to even begin to articulate what the album meant to hip-hop, to Philly, to her as an artist—not to mention as Questlove's sister—brought it down to something simple: "It means everything."

The Roots' influence continues to ripple through so many genres and communities, and with Roots Picnic have been able to create a festival that does too in its own way. Truly providing something for everyone with performers ranging from rap superstar 21 Savage to R&B prodigy H.E.R., the fest has grown into a major event, complete with compelling features like sing language interpreters for the hearing impaired, an arcade with ping-pong, video games and skee-ball for kids (of all ages), and a podcast stage with a silent disco party up on the hill, which features a serene view of the Philly skyline not to be missed.

But the focus at Roots Picnic remains on the music. For instance, when the crowd at the Mann Auditorium went wild for surprise guest Musiq Soulchild's performance during Raphael Saadiq's set, the look on many faces in the audience captured how that moment alone was worth the price of admission. A similarly pleased yet more determined look could be seen on the faces of the various young local artists that took the stages throughout the day who knew that performing at Roots Picnic is a true turning point.

"The Roots, with this platform, sets a certain standard for all Philadelphia creatives," said Dilemma. "Once you make it to the Roots Picnic, you're good."

I just want to "glamorize us," says the charming singer/songwriter about the mission of her debut album, 'Shea Butter Baby'

Roots Picnic has become an institution—not only for celebrating the rich musical history of Philadelphia, but also for showcasing the next generation of artists primed to change the game. Enter Ari Lennox, a bold and soulful singer/songwriter riding high on the heels of her debut album, the sultry and empowering Shea Butter Baby.
 

Ari Lennox On Representing Dark-Skinned Women

 
Lennox has built a devoted fanbase through online buzz and heavy touring, both as a headliner and as an opening act for the likes of J.Cole, whose Dreamville label she calls home. We hung out with Lennox just after her stellar performance at Roots Picnic to hear more about her debut album, life on the road and why representing dark-skinned black women means everything to her.
 
This is your first Roots Picnic, what do you think of it? 
 
It's been phenomenal. The vibe of the people, beautiful, nice and black. I love, love, love soul. Love blackness, love Philly. So this is everything to me. 
 
Shea Butter Baby is such a statement. What does the record mean to you thematically? 
 
Well, it means everything because that song and my album, Shea Butter Baby, was made to represent chocolate women out there and naturals out there. I felt like it's very important for us to have representation and to be sexy with it because we are. And I feel like a lot of people kind of ignore our beauty sometimes and ignore our greatness. I just wanted to really ... I don't know, glamorize us.
 
That's beautiful. I think everybody should try to find who they are, and be it, right? 
 
Yes. Yes. It's important. 
 
Can you talk about "Chicago Boy"? Do you remember where you were when this came together? 
 
Yes. I was actually at the shelter, J. Cole's studio in Raleigh. Elite had a nice set up up stairs in the house. He was playing some beautiful sample, he was adding beautiful drums to it. I heard something immediately. I was thinking about this experience that I had with this Chicago boy, and it just all came like magic on the track. 
 
Speaking of which, Dreamville has to be an amazing thing to be part of. Talk a little bit about what that infrastructure has meant for your career? 
 
It's been everything. To me, it's been like the most beautiful boot camp ever because I feel like I've gotten stronger vocally, even mentally. Just touring and opening up for them. For so long it's just helped strengthen me as a person and a singer. And I mean, I have like a million new amazing brothers that look out for me. It's just beautiful. 
 
You mentioned touring. I've been kind of keeping up with your recent travels around the country.  I'm curious what your favorite part about it is? And what's the biggest challenge? 
 
Wow. My favorite part is probably every night, not only seeing all of these beautiful women, but honestly, seeing all these beautiful chocolate women, like gorgeous women. It just feels good to see myself for once ... like performing for people that look like me more than I ever have before, you know what I'm saying? So it's like cool in that way. I guess the hardest part was our bus had some ratchet troubles. There was a bug on the bus that was ruining all of our lives. That toilet was terrifying but we've been surviving every night, every day. 
 
It's not all glitz and glamor on the bus. 
 
No. Not with the first tour bus, not with the first tour. Next tour, I'm fighting for a better bus. 
 
What is next for you? What does the rest of 2019 hold? 
 
Hopefully, I can save money to buy a house for my dog ... I just want a nice fence in back yard so he can run free. I want him to have a girlfriend so he can stop humping me and then life will be great.
