Confronting This Heckler In Public

While asking people to sing in New York City, I met AZ. While AZ just wanted to do his original song, he was faced with the challenged of being heckled by D-Money.
More from D-Money: • D-Money refuses to leave
As a musician, I'm all about creating musical experiences that have people feeling happy and free, and that's why the "Sing With Me for Free" series exists. Since 2018, I have asked thousands of random people to sing with me on camera. A lot of people have said no, some have said no initially but changed their minds to yes, and some have said yes right away. I ask these people to sing with one purpose: to create a way for them to experience a sense of happiness and freedom they did not feel before. And much of the time, this actually works (and that makes ME happy).

I don't know if I'd call him a heckler. Although he was overly eager, he seemed interested, excited, and to genuinely enjoy the music. You handled it very well.

AZ has a great little song, with a commanding beat. But he seems to be unconnected with the world around him, intelligent but introverted. The 'heckler' wasn't heckling, it just took him way longer than normal to process the "wait your turn" idea. But he did step back and wait without complaint. All in all Reggie showed the kind of mature persistence you need to handle people who, for whatever reason, are interrupting the show in progress. Good job, and a surprisingly neat song from AZ.
