6 to 9 Minutes with Chaz episodes

  • EP 19 | VRTS: Everybody’s Had a Piece

    In this shameless episode of 6 to 9 Minutes with Chaz, Chaz Mazzota gets up close with VRTS - a man who’s been passed around Nashville more times than either of them can count. Artists want him. Producers need him. And somehow, he always ends up in the room when things start getting interesting.


    For six steamy minutes, VRTS opens up about who he’s been working with, what he likes behind closed doors, and why putting his touch on somebody else’s project never seems to get old.


    When the timer hits, he gives Chaz three more minutes and reveals just how much he’s been sitting on. His new project The Foundations is more than 20 tracks deep - and apparently, VRTS has been saving a lot for himself.


    Six minutes to loosen him up.

    Three to find out how deep it goes.

    One last minute to pull it all together.


    Everybody’s had a little VRTS.

    Now it’s your turn.

  • Chelsea Erica Smith: Sharp Tongues & Soft Focus

    In this dangerously easy episode of 6 to 9 Minutes with Chaz, Chaz Mazzota sits down with Chelsea Erica Smith—artist, photographer, entrepreneur, and someone who’s seen enough to know exactly what she’s not saying. For six slow-burning minutes, the conversation slips between music, ambition, old stories, and the kind of chemistry that only exists when there’s real history in the room.


    A little flirting with the past.

    A little oversharing with the present.


    When the timer hits, Chelsea takes three extra minutes to talk about the projects pulling her attention lately—from creative ventures to the mindset behind building something that actually lasts. It’s playful, self-aware, and just personal enough to feel like you probably shouldn’t be listening this closely.


    Six minutes to reopen old doors.

    Three to pretend it’s casual.

    One last minute that says more than it should.


    Hit play.

  • Southpaw: Playing It Left, Feeling It Right

    In this late-night episode of 6 to 9 Minutes with Chaz, Chaz Mazzota sits down with Southpaw—aka Tim—and lets the conversation go wherever it wants. For six slow minutes, they move through music, instinct, and the kind of thoughts that usually don’t come out this easily.


    Somewhere along the way, it gets a little more honest than expected.

    Maybe a little too honest.


    When the clock runs out, Tim stays for three more minutes to talk about what’s next—and why trusting your gut might be the only thing that actually holds up. It’s smooth, a little unpredictable, and not nearly as innocent as it sounds.


    Six minutes to get pulled in.

    Three to stay there.

    One last minute you don’t rush.


    Hit play.

  • Jonathan Soul: Smooth Moves & Dangerous Confidence

    In this dangerously smooth episode of 6 to 9 Minutes with Chaz, Chaz Mazzota sits down with Jonathan Soul for a conversation that gets comfortable fast. For six slow-building minutes, they drift through music, timing, confidence, and the kind of honesty that usually waits until the mics are supposed to be off.


    There’s laughter. There’s oversharing. There are a few moments that probably sounded better in their heads.


    When the timer hits, Jonathan stays for three more minutes to talk about what he’s working on next—and why sometimes the smoothest move is saying less and meaning more. It’s intimate without trying to be, bold without forcing it, and nowhere near as scandalous as it sounds.


    Six minutes to get a little too comfortable.

    Three to stand by what you said.

    One last minute to leave it hanging.


    Hit play. You’ll see.

  • Sammi Rae: Accidentally Honest & Way Too Comfortable

    In this questionably titled episode of 6 to 9 Minutes with Chaz, Chaz Mazzota sits down with Sammi Rae to talk music, life, and whatever happens when two creatives forget the mics are on. For six loose minutes, the conversation drifts from songwriting and growth to the kind of comments that probably didn’t need to be said..


    When the timer hits, Sammi takes three extra minutes to share what she’s working on, what’s coming next, and why having fun might be the most underrated part of making music. It’s playful, honest, slightly unhinged in the best way, and nowhere near as scandalous as it sounds.


    Six minutes to say too much. Three to explain yourself. One last minute to laugh it off.

    Hit play. You’ll get it.

  • Old Flames, New Moves feat. Lori

    Some guests bring stories. Some bring secrets. Lori? Let’s just say... he brings both. He’s back in Nashville, and the energy is undeniable—old connections, new projects, and just enough mystery to keep things interesting. We dive into late-night studio sessions, the thrill of a creative comeback, and the kind of chemistry you can’t fake.


    WHAT TO EXPECT: The electric pull of old friends reuniting. After-hours creativity & new music brewing. A little history, a lot of heat—but it’s all love. The kind of talk that lingers long after the mics cut off


    Six minutes to stir the pot, three to turn up the heat, and one last moment to seal the deal. This one? You’ll feel it. Hit play.
