Umm, [sighs], heh, uhhh ...
I think I would've lost my damn mind if she wasn't there
My name is Dia Frampton I'm 31 years old and I am an actress
and a singer-songwriter.
My name is Khalif Boyd, I am 31, and I am an actor.
D: A relationship?
K: [laughs] We're in a relationship, yeah, we're in a relationship.
D: 4 years? K: Going on 5 years
We were at Busby's. It was super packed.
And, like the red sea... I looked towards the bar
and I see Dia amongst the crowd, and she was double fisting alcohol.
I was pretty drunk.
I was with my friend Yori and I just leaned over to her and said
that guy's really hot.
He had really big hair at that time
and I grabbed one of his curls and I kinda pulled on it
and then he turned around and I think I just said... "Hey", hehehe, and then
I think I went away, got scared and I ran away.
K: You said I had really cool hair D: Oh did I?
K: Yeah
D: I just said I said hey and then I went away
K: I remember you saying I have cool hair and you probably hear that a lot
and I'm like yeah...
We went on a walk around the Silver Lake Reservoir for our first date.
We stopped at LAMILL and we got some coffee...
and we talked a lot about our families and our past and...
he told me so much about his family that I actually went and wrote a song about it.
She immediately made me feel very comfortable in sharing, uhhh, things that
I struggle with my family, to the point where she actually made a song about it.
But it was a really beautiful song, and it made me rethink my whole situation,
it was almost like therapy, and like someone really understood me.
D: He paid for my drink which made me really happy
K: I don't remember D: You did
K: Okay cool
D: 'Cause I'm a bit, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit old school, I'm from Utah
and uh, that's just how I was raised I guess
K: So if I, so if I didn't pay for it you would've been like -
D: It would've been a little bit of a, a little teh for me
It was, it just kinda, all these little things piled up.
All of a sudden it just felt... like love.
It just happened.
Yeah she... was performing with her band
and by the time I was already getting to know her
and how freaked out she gets before she performs and...
just to know the courage and the bravery to go up there and to really be vulnerable
with the audience...
Through your ability to express already,
you made me find my voice more as an artist
