Like that's 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.840 what I had to go into mentally. No, but like 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.520 I don't know, I guess a lot of performers would 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.320 probably like relate when I say this. It's like when 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.320 you go out and you give your one hundred percent, 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.599 like you're all and you're like giving so much energy 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.080 and you see the people give back so much energy. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.760 It like gives you like an adrenaline rush, and it like, 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:31.680 I don't know how to explain it, but it's like 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.840 it's something so far away from like just being a 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.800 normal person. It just feels like you're elevated, like you're 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.640 somewhere else for like that kind of moment, and you 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.440 create this like space where you're like I'm able to 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.080 share and people are receiving this, and there's so much 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.839 love and joy and like happiness. Like I don't know 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.240 how else to explain it, but like, isn't. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.280 Hard to get there on every performance? Is it one 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.480 of those things where it's like, yeah, you will find 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.600 it in pockets of your career where you're feeling like 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.200 everything has aligned. Yeah, it's not every day. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.839 No, it's not every day, Like especially man, if I 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:10.480 could tell you the shows I've played some of it, Yeah, 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.680 like giving one hundred percent and people were just staring 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:13.160 at you like. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.200 This giving character building. 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:20.520 Yeah, yeah, character building and those moments really teach you. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.360 I guess you kind of separate yourself and you're like, well, 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.719 I why do I do music. I don't do music 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.960 to just be like, oh for you guys to enjoy this. 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.640 I do music for me and I do music for 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.880 my mob, And you know it really makes you like 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.920 come into this with like a different perspective. Or if 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.480 they're not going to give me one hundred percent, I'm 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.440 still gonna give a hundred percent. I'm still going to 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.560 give my Also, yeah, yeah, I. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.600 Was gonna say, talking about your mom, who is your mob? 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.279 And where did you come from?

You know where 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.040 you come from? Is because I think like a lot 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.320 of like white people, we'll say where do you come from, 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:02.480 but we say where you're from? 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:03.200 Exactly. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.320 Let me do that again, So who's your mom?

A lot 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.000 of people, like their families have moved there from other countries, 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.240 so it's like very like ethnic and like there's a 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:40.240 lot of culture yeah, very multicultural, that's correct where and 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.240 it is a really awesome place, Like there's so much 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.120 culture there and it really like shaped me as a person. 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.480 I'd say, so, my mob is Camilla Roy, my dad's 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.680 Cammilla Roy, and my mom is someone. So she's from 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.880 the Islands, and she's from this island called Savati and 0:06:54.920 --> 0:07:00.240 this village called salil Longa. So yeah, beautiful.

Like I just feel like there is some 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.400 part of me that I feel like I like once 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.520 in a past life for the part of yeah, like 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.120 I don't know why, because when I was playing rugby 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.000 with the girls and they're mostly like all Mauldi girls 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.360 and some girls like their food and like their language, 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.320 like I'd feel like a part of this so much. 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:43.400 I feel like Islanders are like really similar to my 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.800 like growing up, I kind of feel like my culture 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.080 was like really similar on both sides. It was just 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.239 like kind of a little bit different. But the values 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.840 of like family and community were always like the same. 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.760 So yeah, and the singing and dancing, yeah exactly, it's. 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.520 Like this and family like that. I remember growing up 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.200 in Claymore and there was a lot of like someone 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.400 and Islander families who lived in Claymore and so you know, 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:15.080 it was a real mix of like blackfellows and Islanders 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.720 and it was like we were one in the same, 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.840 you know, like our humor was the same, the whole, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.640 the whole family values were the same. I remember these 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.320 two they were two small boys who lived down the road. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.040 They were about ten years older than me, but they 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.400 just got their license, you know, and they used to 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.560 take us around remember the NIST and skylines back in 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.880 the day, like the pimped out rides and like we 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.200 like they had the lights under their cars like lowered 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.880 the NIST and scarlet and they used to just take 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.440 us boys, like just for cruisers around Claymore. I thought 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.520 that was like the best thing in the world. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.960 You know what I mean, down. 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.800 Formal in a skyline. I thought it was like the 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.040 secret exactly. 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.280 That's exactly what I'm talking about. But let's keep talking 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.160 about your music, because one a lot of Islanders can 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:04.280 fucking sing, you. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.840 Know what I mean, Like they got their blood. 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.800 Voice from heaven or something.

Amazing, you know what I mean. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.720 Literally, because when I went back to some more like 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.720 about two weeks ago, I went to this karaoke and 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.960 tell me why I was so scared to sing?

Hey, yeah, I didn't know that. I 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:40.160 just recently learned that. 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.520 But you sort of broke you out into the scene 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.160 back in twenty seventeen. You know, you won Triple Jay's 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.200 Unearthed Artist. From that moment to now, like, what have 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:49.760 been some of the highlights for you?

But yeah, like I guess I didn't actually 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.440 answer your question Brooke earlier about like how I got 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.200 into music, But I started off with Triple Jianna. They 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.600 like won this little competition and it's kind of just 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.320 been like history since then. And like, I guess the 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.960 most recent things that have happened now that have been 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.040 like the craziest things is opening for one of my 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:34.400 favorite artists, Mahalia, and then getting brought out by Coldplate, 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.200 which is crazy to eighty thousand people, That's like probably 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.080 the craziest thing, and I feel like that will still 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.720 be like the craziest thing I've ever done. I just 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.559 did my first ARIA performance like last week, which was amazing. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.800 Can I just say that you're bug on that stage, 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:55.000 like absolute fire. Your voice is blended so beautifully, Like 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.200 tell us about that moment when you're looking at into 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.520 the audience, You're seeing everyone in the industry who sort 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.440 of you know, look up to all love and respect. 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.839 Are you having that sort of euphoric moment that you 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.679 described earlier or are you shitting yourself. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:11.280 Literally a heart attack on stage? The whole like lead 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.400 up to that. So I found out about that performance 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.320 like the week before. Cyril's team basically reached out and 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.800 was like, oh, yeah, like we're performing this. We'd love 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.280 to have you and Budera, and I was like, of course, 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.000 I'd love to come. And then when we got to rehearsals, 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:27.920 like you know, Budera is not going to play with 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.920 the vocals, and I'm like, damn, I need to step 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.760 it up. I need to like get practicing, and then 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.280 like you know, like we really went into it, and 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.520 like going into like that kind of performance is so different. 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.560 It's like just three minutes, just something so quick, and 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.400 you practice so much for it, and then like you 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.080 just in that space. I honestly felt like it was 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.520 a blow. I walked off stage and I was like, oh, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.400 it's done. Like I just I don't know, Like I 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:51.600 felt like I wasn't even there. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.480 I felt like you were really free up there. You 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.680 might look like you're shitting yourself, but you were moving. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.520 It looked like you were like having a moment. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.880 So what do you mean they're playing with the vocals?

It's something I feel like it's going 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.960 to take me a little bit of time to be 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.520 like I'm going to look back at it and be like, ook, 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:50.040 that's actually crazy.

That 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.280 is epic, Like it's almost like you get to do 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.000 it and then do it again. Leave the moment. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.640 It was insane and like as soon as I got 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.440 that call, I started bawling my eyes out. I was crying, 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.680 like ugly crying. I faced Hi my mom, and my 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.640 mom was crying and like, yeah, it was probably the 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.080 most I've cried, and like I don't know, and I 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.720 think for me, like it was a real like validating 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.120 moment because like earlier this year, I was like I 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.200 don't even know if I want to be doing music anymore, 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.200 and like yeah, so like having like something like that 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.160 happened was like the craziest thing for me. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.720 So, yeah, isn't that like that that's an amazing story. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.680 But then thinking that earlier this year you didn't feel 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.760 like you were like wanting to do music, and then 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.160 seeing the year that you've had, Like, isn't that just 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.080 like one of those moments where it's like a fork 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.800 in the road and it's like it depends on what 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.600 path you take, and it's like there might be this 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.560 really hard decision, but once you get past that challenge 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.560 or that mindset, but all this success came, you know 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:44.040 what I mean. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.360 So I really like those moments. I think it's those 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.760 you know, and you said about you know, those little 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.280 shows that you had and like you know, you weren't 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.760 maybe getting the response that you would not you would 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.400 hope for like doing your music. I think like all 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.560 of those little bricks and pavements like move towards where 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.879 you're going to go, and like these big moments and 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.280 I feel like this is just the start for you, 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.200 like in a sense, like you know what I mean. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.320 And I mean like at your agent and at your 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.560 level in your career, You've already had Timberland recognize you, 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.439 give you the thumbs up for your song, you know, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.040 and it was Timberland, right, Yeah, and then cole Play, 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.639 the biggest band in the world collaborate with you. So 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.800 like if that isn't some sort of like sign from 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.840 the universe, but like, girl, you're on the right path. 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.000 I don't know if the fuck is. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:40.320 Just be skipping along way, I'm gone. What is on 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.760 your like manifestation list? 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.720 I am really hoping that over the next year I 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.600 get to go to Europe or the UK. I would 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.480 like love to make dance music over there. There's a 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.159 lot of people I want to work with. Like an 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.439 absolute dream would be like to make a song with 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.600 someone like Kitchenada. I feel like that would be like 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.879 they my game over for me personally. But yeah, like 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.399 I would love to go overseas and just like write 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.920 music and like really like expand my horizons in a way. 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.480 So I guess like that's a goal for me next. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.920 A lot of artists like Black fel artists in particular, 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.080 I find that there needs to be a sacrifice that 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.760 is made right, well, any artist, but we are so 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.920 connected to family, we're so connected to community. To take 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.639 that leap of faith to go international, not a lot 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.879 of people do it because it's like starting from almost 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.520 ground zero again, right, So it's like you're on your 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.240 trajectory here and you're on your way up, and then 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.760 to have like to go to go and start something 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.920
