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 <i>teh</i> 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
