Speaker 2: huge fan of yours. I remember discovering you in my

00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: eighth grade Spanish class as my teacher really really really

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: really loved you, and I actually was able to discover

16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: your mom through you. I've listened to both of your books,

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: and I have been listening to this podcast since you

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: started of it, and you have shared so much good

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: insight and the way you're just open and how you

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: express yourself and share your life is truly inspiring and

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: I do really appreciate you. Let me stop Ramdi from

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: tell a huge fan. I have two questions for you.

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: So my first question is I want to know what

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: song for you was the hardest for you to record,

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: if that was vocally or emotionally. And then I also

26
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: wanted to know if there was a reason why on

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: the Amanthas you did not have a song like that

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: your mom previously recorded, unless you did. I'm not deeping

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: up into her discography, but I was just wondering if

30
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: that was a purposeful choice or not. Anyways, love you

31
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: so so so much. This new haircut looks fantastic on you.

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: I really really hope that one day I get the

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: opportunity to meet you and sing for or with you.

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 2: Kudos to you and Emilio keep being amazing. Love you guys,

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: Sending love from your number one Jamaican fan messos.

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Ooh Jamaica, Oh my gosh, I've never mentioned Jamaica. You guys,

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: I want to go to Jamaica. Thank you so much, Kristin.

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: What a nice way to start the episode today. Thank you.

39
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: I've gotten that very few times where people didn't know

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: who my mom was and they learned who my mom

41
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: is like through me, which is so crazy. To me,

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: but thank you. I really appreciate that anyway. Okay, so

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: I liked your questions. By the way, Uh, the first question,

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: the most difficult song to record, I can think of two,

45
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: which is Anima te Veras and also Paloma Blanca the

46
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: first recording session, and then also this one that we

47
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: did with Mariacci because they go from low to very high,

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: there's like a huge jump in keys, so that was

49
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: a little Even to like sing it live, it's still

50
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: a little difficult because like you're chilling at one key

51
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: and then you have to jump to like two keys

52
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: to get to the chorus. So those, I think are

53
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: ones that when I have to sing even live, I'm like,

54
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: let me take a deep breath. But I love them

55
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: both very much. And then on the month is that's

56
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: crazy that I hadn't even noticed that that I hadn't

57
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: recorded one of my mom's songs or a song that

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: she had interpreted. I didn't even realize. But yeah, it

59
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: wasn't done purposely. I just honestly, I just kind of

60
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: go when I come up with the concept of the albums,

61
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: I just go with what I'm feeling with what I'm writing.

62
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Some songs come before or the title of the album

63
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: comes first, or a song. So it kind of just

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: happened that way.

65
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

66
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't done purposefully, that's for sure, but yeah, that's it.

67
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, thank you so much, Kristin. I appreciate your

68
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: questions and I like, honestly thank you for the love.

69
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: I hopefully get to meet you soon and thank you.

70
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that you're talking about this hair color that

71
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: you love because we're not going back to copper that

72
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: was I loved it, but it was crazy to get

73
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: it out anyway, I hope you have a beautiful day.

74
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Okay, guys, we are moving on

75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: with Stephanie Hi.

76
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: Cheeky's. My name is Stephanie. I met you at a

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 3: book signing recently. While I was there, I realized that

78
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 3: a lot of people feel comfortable approaching you, your staff,

79
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: your family members on tour at book signings. How would

80
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 3: you prefer for people for fans to engage with you

81
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: in a way that respects your boundaries, your privacy, but

82
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: still feels approachable and appropriate for you.

83
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: Well, Stephanie, Hi, I love that you Know a lot

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: of people that have been around me have told me

85
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: like your fans, it almost feels like they know you.

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: And I was a Dizzneyland yesterday and a girl was

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: just say, hey, Jake's what's up. How are you? Like

88
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: we knew each other forever, and I swear I thought

89
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: about it. I was like, do I know you from somewhere?

90
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: And she was just like hy. I just wanted to say,

91
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: like people feel that. I think that's just the energy

92
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: I give. So when people approach me, it's almost I'm

93
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: used to it, but people around me are like, oh

94
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, there's no boundary, like there are. People just

95
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: come up to you and hug you. And I think

96
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: it's because I give them that warmth. I don't know.

97
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't bother me unless i'm eating or unless I'm

98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: in the restroom. I've had cases where I'm literally in

99
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: the restroom handling business and someone's waiting for me outside

100
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: of the stall, and I'm very polite because I'm so

101
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: grateful for everyone, Like I'm like, I'm grateful these are

102
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: people that help feed me, you know, And I'm grateful,

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, But sometimes it could be a lot Like

104
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: in those situations, I would much rather someone wait for

105
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: me outside of the restroom. The amount of pictures that

106
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: I've taken with a stall behind me and you know

107
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: that we're in a public restroom is crazy. I wouldn't

108
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: want to take take a picture in the restroom with

109
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: my favorite artist. But I'm like cool, like if that's

110
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: what you want, Like I understand when we get excited

111
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: about things, you don't realize sometimes until afterwards, like oh

112
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: I should maybe I should have acted this way or

113
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: approached her this way. I completely understand, but I would

114
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: prefer someone to wait for me outside the restroom, wait

115
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: for me to finish eating, or even ask katy cheeky's

116
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: is it okay if I take a picture. Yesterday a

117
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: girl talking about Disneyland. She was a little buzzed and

118
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: she's like, hey, take a picture with me, Like you're

119
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: used to it, right, like you know this is you're

120
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: used to it. It kind of bugged me a little

121
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: bit because I'm like, yeah, I'm used to it, but

122
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: like still, like I'm with my husband, I'm trying to

123
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: have a good time, but I'm very understanding, like I think,

124
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: maybe to a fault sometimes, but now that you asked

125
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: and people are listening, I do prefer people to be

126
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more gentle with me because I'm still

127
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: human and there are days that I'm not as happy

128
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: as I could be or as I want to be.

129
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: So I think it's like, hey, Cheeky's like, how are you?

130
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: Or can I take a picture? You know, I don't mind,

131
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: it's just come on, guys, common sense, you know. Not well,

132
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm using the restroom because I'm like, dude, I can't

133
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: even go to the restroom comfortably. And then I'm like, wait,

134
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: wait until I wash my hands. You know that's happened

135
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: to me too. Literally, I'll open the door and that

136
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: can I take a picture with you? I'm like, yeah,

137
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: let me just wash my hands real quick. Anyway, Stephanie.
