I was like, 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.760 we're gonna hop on this TikTok trend and make something happen. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.760 But I really like intentionally wanted to do a song 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.680 that had to dance to it that I. 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.280 Could just show love to the dance community. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.000 So I just try to collab with all the biggest 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.000 dancers and you're not even big, like just the coolest 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.040 dancers and just. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.040 You know, show love to the dance community. 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.200 And I like saying with the kids with the kids 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:26.760 doing it too. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.360 I know, it reminded me of little Baby when I 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.800 did it back then, and like the only person that 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:33.680 did that was like. 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:34.760 Missy Elliott for real. 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.560 Yeah, So I always want like little kids in my videos, 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.520 but it's a little harder now because I'm independent now, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.240 and it's like when it comes to having kids on set, 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.040 it's like a tutor fire truck. 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:46.280 It's like crazy, all. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.440 Right, So you are independent now, I am. So how 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.160 was that? Like, are you loving it? 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.120 I do? I've only like been with duv Jym like 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.080 for my whole career. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.080 So it is different, you know, it is more like 0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.880 on me and like, but I like that. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.640 I'm like really on my own creative and my own 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.280 like whatever I want to post, like when I do it, 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.040 when I drop, like it feels good. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.400 That is crazy that you've only it's at funny story 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.200 when you first signed a death Jam. Yeah, we did 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:14.600 an event and a spot together. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:15.080 Yeah. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.279 It was a spa day. 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.560 With Danny Lay and her girls and they were like, 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.160 oh would you I say yeah, absolutely, and it was 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:22.960 a beautiful day. 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.320 Yeah. So they did really do cool like activations like that. 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.719 It would be nice to do it again, but I'd 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:29.400 have to figure it out. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:30.240 But I got to pay for it. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:30.680 Yeah. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:33.080 Yeah. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.159 But so leaving deaf Jam, was it that your contract 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:38.560 was up? 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.440 Like how did that? What was the process of that? 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.320 Yeah, the contract was up, so that was it, and 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.040 it was like, yeah, I was like, okay, let me 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:47.559 try the independent route. 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.000 I know things are different nowadays. I feel like this 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:50.800 day and age, like. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.920 There's a lot of people that are independent now and 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.839 they're really like working through like distros and stuff distributions. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.480 So I was like, let me try it. I have 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:58.800 like a fan base, like. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.000 Let's see hopefully something goes up and then maybe later 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.440 I'll go with another label, you know, just to do 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.360 it again, but like get a better like a good 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:07.760 good deal or something. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.400 Right, because I think once you show your value of 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.760 what you could do on your own, then people are like, okay, 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:12.479 we need to picture. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.240 And I think deals are structured so different now too. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.760 You can kind of dictate, like make things more creative 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.000 as far as okay, this is our partnership. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.919 Do like a little joint label type of thing. I 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.520 didn't have that before because I was just new. Now 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.720 I could be like, let me make my own company 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.360 and then do a little joint venture thing. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.120 But I also feel like it gives you the freedom 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.599 to actually create music that you are passionate about and 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.000 do the things that you want to do. And it 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.159 seems like we are seeing that live out because of 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.479 the things that you're putting out. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:40.520 Yeah, I love it. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:41.680 Yeah. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.120 You know you've been talking a lot about your faith 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.000 and showing us a lot of that too. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:47.400 You put out a. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.680 Song about God, yes, and I want to talk about 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.880 that for a second as well. Before we get to 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.440 the latest single, La Familia, which only makes sense. You 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.680 got your mom here, you got your sister on the song. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:05:59.960 Your brother. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.320 You know, it's truly love familiar. You guys like the 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:05.240 musical family. 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.400 I know. I don't even know how we all ended 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.960 up just being like with like learning music. I don't 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.400 know my dad his like dad's name was Beigthoven, his 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.680 sister saying in church, my mom was the dancer back 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:18.120 in the day. 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:19.240 She also modeled. 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.680 So I guess it's just say your mom need to 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:22.560 do one of the challenges. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.279 She always tells me. She's like, can you teach me? 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.160 So I could do it, but she's never gonna really 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:28.560 do it. 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.600 No, I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, that might be fired 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.280 all generations, I know. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.400 But you talked about you've been crossing your fingers and 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.480 keeping it low. Yes, right, So tell me about what 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.560 that's been like for you, because I feel like since 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.440 you've come out, you've gotten a lot of attention. And 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.480 I know, some of it good, some of it not good, 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.799 some of it really difficult, and you've been open about 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.240 going through difficult times. But how is it like, you know, 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.400 just keeping low and just kind of rebuilding. 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.000 It's been good. I think that time was very much needed. 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.119 It allowed me to just really grow my relationship with God. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.400 And I truly feel like that just changed me as 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.440 a person entirely. I just moved different. I see things differently. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.360 I put more value into myself. I have more faith 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.560 in like what I have to come. I have more 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.440 strength on just like not giving up. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.120 So I definitely had time where. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.240 I wanted to give up a lot of times. So yeah, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:26.880 I feel good at that time was needed. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:33.720 I have been keeping it low, no, literally. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:37.000 Just valuing family and just setting myself up for the future, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.680 setting her up like that's the goal. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:39.520 At the end of the day. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.920 You're speaking a lot about your relationship with God. How 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.240 would you say that your relationship with God is different 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.840 from now versus like a few years. 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.680 Ago, it wasn't there. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.000 I grew up going to church, but I just was 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.320 disconnected all the way. 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:53.760 You know. 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.080 It just goes to show how you like move differently 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.080 in life and make better decisions, like when you are 0:07:58.120 --> 0:07:58.760 following God. 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.760 And that's truly where I am right now. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.440 And yeah, what was the moment that pulled you back 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.119 to God? Because you say you grew up in church, 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:07.720 but I think we all do. And then we kind 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.200 of like straight away and then we come back to 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.920 you remember what moment like specifically pulled you back. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.520 I felt like there was a tug on me when 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.000 I was going through a lot of dark times, but 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.520 I'd never like I would try, never. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:22.960 Really did it. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:27.880 And then once my dad got diagnosed with cancer, that 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.400 was the moment where I just my family, we all 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:33.040 got together. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.520 We all had to take care of my dad. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.240 Seeing a loved one like go through so much pain 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.720 and suffering it. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.319 It just like released all of like I don't know 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:44.720 what's the word, just. 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.559 Like any everything else outside of the world like didn't 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.720 matter because all we were with was our family. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.160 And then God revealed a lot to us during that time. 0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:01.120 I would say like sorry, I'm like saying, oh, I'm 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.640 so much sorry. I feel like. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.240 God doesn't give you guys cancer, Like he'll allow certain 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.199 things to happen that the enemy will bring to us. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.360 So he just revealed so much. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.280 And my dad was dealing with a lot of like 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.000 demons and things like that on a darker spiritual level, 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.360 and we just got to reveal that and he just 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.440 showed us like how real God is? 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:27.000 I really? 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.520 I know He's knew of God, and I was like yeah, 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.560 but then he showed us like literal things that I'm like, oh, 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:40.400 this is like real. So yeah, it that time. We 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.160 just prayed over it all, and I just feel like 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.840 if he wouldn't have passed away, he wouldn't have made 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.400 it into Heaven. I feel like our family like truly 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:53.080 saved my dad and yeah, he's surrendered to God at 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.280 the very last bit. And then it also felt like 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.920 he was God allowed it to happen to to save 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.480 all of us because I don't know if who knows 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.480 if my dad would have survived, and then I would 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.280 have just kept on living life, like I wouldn't have 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:07.680 fully made the change. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.800 It was like a wake up call, Yeah, your father, 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.160 So was he telling you things that you never knew? 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.439 Because sometimes in family, we don't have those types of conversations, 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.280 especially with our parents, like we don't know what they've 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.080 gone through or things that have had all. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.640 That was our first time that my dad did like 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.160 confess a lot. He went through a lot of things 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.880 during his childhood that I felt like we're grabbing onto 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.400 him and like, you know, I don't want to get 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.320 too deep into it because it's just like very personal 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.840 but yeah, it allowed him to confess. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.080 When you confess your sins, that's when you really release. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.720 That's a scary thing to do. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.360 Yeah, it's hard even we all confess our sins to 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:47.680 each other as a family. 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.360 Like I told my family some things and like it 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.440 was hard to do, but it made. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.320 Me be like wow, and it just shows how much 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.400 like shame that too, that you're like holding on to 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.680 by keeping a seeking or whatever. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.320 And it's just like, oh wow, I don't feel bad 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:04.200 about that no more. 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:05.720 I released it. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.640 Yeah that's crazy because you know, I have this second 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.880 on my show called tell Us a Secret. And the 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.679 reason why I did that because people who call it 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.080 their anonymous we don't know. 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.160 Who they are, but I've seen it. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:16.840 It's supposed to be. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.960 No judgment zone because the truth is that there is 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.160 nobody that can act like they don't have some things. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.439 Oh yeah, that they would. 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.840 Be ashamed if people knew definitely the truth about what 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:29.160 it is. 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.079 And the truth is when people do tell it, even 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:32.959 though we don't know them online they be mad at 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.000 me for even letting people. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.439 I'm like, I didn't do the thing, you know, but 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.400 it makes it scary because there is a lot of 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.440 judgment that people passed on each other. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.480 Yeah, and you know the Bible says not to judge people. 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.600 It's like we're all going through different things in life, 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.960 and who knows what we're connected to that makes you 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:48.920 do certain things. 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.800 And then it's like you can't just like live and 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:52.480 hold on to that. 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.640 You gotta move forward and grow and have accountability and 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.560 like realize like, Okay, I wasn't moving right, but now 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:01.400 it's all. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.200 Up to you to just change some of the most 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.720 of what we learn is from our mistakes. 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:05.120 Yeah. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.280 Oh yeah, you know that's like the biggest education I think. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.000 So do you think some of the hardships that you've 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.560 experienced in life that you had to go through those 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.640 lessons to be shaped and mold into the woman that 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:17.280 you are now? 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:18.120 Absolutely? 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:18.720 Yeah. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.360 I think at the time when we're going through it, 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:21.800 we don't really see it as that, but then when 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.079 we look back inside experience. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.600 No, it's the darkest season that God meets a lot 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.800 of people. So it makes sense though, because you have 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.400 to hold on to something and you're like searching, like 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.360 what do I do next? You feel depressed, broken, Like, 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.160 it makes sense. God is love, so you find that 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.880 and then it just gives you like a strengthen, a pickup, 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.840 and then you're like, oh wait, let me change my life. 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.600 Oh my gosh, it just was not that. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.000 And the song God you talk about finding your light 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.239 again after of everything that you've experienced. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.360 What does it feel like to find your light again? 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:55.439 It feels good. 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:56.720 It feels really good. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.719 I feel good to just drop music that spreading light, 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.000 you know, I feel I don't know. As artists, we 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.880 all have responsibilities to influence people, so it's like what 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.520 we put out there is really important. So the fact 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.720 that I am like spreading the gospel in my own way, 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.679 it's like, really, it's really exciting. And then it's for 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.600 her too. Always say, when I go into the studio, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:19.960 I'm like, we're making music. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:20.719 My daughter could hear. 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:21.640 That's nice. 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:22.880 My daughter could see you too. 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.960 Visually, Like I'm very like adamant about that.
