As you know, 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: I've been on tour for the Abajos. It's been a 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: lot of fun and I've really enjoyed it. And we 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: started off in Mexico. So let's get into this episode. 19 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: This is Cheeky's and show. One of the reasons the 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: tour is so special to me is because it's the 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: first time I've ever performed in Mexico. Well, I performed 22 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: before in Mexico, but this is like my first show, 23 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: you guys. In late March, I performed at the Lunardio 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: in Mexico City. Oh my goodness, I love you guys 25 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: so much that there is the sound of the crowd 26 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: during my concert, my people, I love you guys so much. 27 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: It was actually sold out and I'm just so excited 28 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: and so grateful with everyone that was there to see me. 29 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: Tomy's bozis in Mexico. It was special, you guys. It 30 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: is very difficult to break through to Mexico or into Mexico, 31 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: should I say? It's just the different audience. The media 32 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: is different out there, and I've been trying for years now. 33 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: I've gone out to Mexico to promote my books, some 34 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: of my music, and I think they see me more 35 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: of like an American. And I've always said this, you guys. 36 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm a hundred percent Mexicana, one hundred percent American, I'm 37 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: two hundred percent I'm from you know, the two hundred 38 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: percent club. But in Mexico is in the sense of 39 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: they want us to be like super proud of being Mexican, 40 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: and I am, And I think it's just taken a 41 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: little while for them to believe me, I think, and 42 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: for them to realize that I am very proud to 43 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: be Mexican. K then go San Mexican. And not only that, 44 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: but a lot of things had been said. There was 45 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: a lot of cheese min and they couldn't really focus 46 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: on my music. So now I'm like xnaying all that 47 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: stuff and trying not to have so much drama in 48 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: my life. And thank goodness, I think just staying away 49 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: from certain people and learning from my mistakes in the 50 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: past has really taught me to just kind of go 51 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: around certain questions and bring it back to my music. So, 52 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: you know, thank goodness for my pr Shout out to 53 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: Jennifer Neeman, my publicist. 54 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: Anyways, it was an amazing show. You guys. 55 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: It was a Tuesday, I'll be honest. We were worried, 56 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: all of us, my team, my record label. Everyone was 57 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: worried because the ticket sales were pretty slow. And that 58 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: is because there have been other promoters in Mexico trying 59 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: to sell my shows and they say I'm going to 60 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: be somewhere and then I don't show up because they're 61 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: not my booking agency, you know what I mean. And 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: it's kind of given me a bad rap, so I 63 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: had to just get out there and show them, hey, guys, 64 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: this is true. I will be at the Lunardio. It 65 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: is my show. And then that's when the ticket sale 66 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: started coming in and we didn't find out until the 67 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: day of, which was March twenty eighth, you guys, that 68 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: the Lunardio was sold out, and I was just excited. 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: It was a very important because it wasn't only a 70 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: concert for my Mexico fans, but also for the platforms, 71 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: all the platforms, all the digital platforms, my record label, 72 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: a lot of promoters. It was like their first time 73 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: really saying okay, Cheeky's as a singer, you know what 74 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean. And we killed it. I think we did 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: an amazing job. My banda Ana, they are amazing, you guys. 76 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: We rehearsed. I don't know. 77 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: It was so crazy because I have a teleprompter just 78 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: for like as a safety net, but I know all 79 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: the songs. But I just psyched myself out sometimes and 80 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: I felt like I didn't even need to use it, 81 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: like I was just in the moment, feeling everything, feeling 82 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: the energy of the crowd, and oh my god, can 83 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: I tell you guys, like those fans of Mexico.

But in Mexico, I don't know if 93 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: it was because it was my first, my own first show, 94 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: because again I've been at festivals, I've been invited to 95 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: people's concerts, but this was like my first real concert, 96 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: like my concert, so it was like, I don't know, 97 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: it was just like this overwhelming feeling.

Mind you. 161 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm very like kind of micromanage everything, so 162 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: I was like, I want to know everything that's going on. 163 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: Of course, I put my set list together, everything we 164 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: rehearsed and everything. So I was just surprised because every 165 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: time I see my mom or I hear her voice, 166 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: I never know how I'm going to feel. I hadn't 167 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: seen any of the images they were beautiful and it's 168 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: just seeing there and it was just like that moment 169 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, that's why Johnny.

Johnny kind of turned 173 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: me around so that I could see the screens and 174 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: it was just like a moment of like, oh my gosh. 175 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: And it hits me sometimes, you guys, where I'm like, dude, 176 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: my mom's not here. I'm so focused and I have 177 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: to be strong and everything like that's like every day 178 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm like I got to be strong. I got to 179 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: be strong for myself or my siblings. That it's not 180 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: that I forget that my mom's out here, but in 181 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: those types of moments, it really hits hard. It's like, 182 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: oh shit, my mom's not here. And I don't know 183 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: if if that makes any sense, but those of you 184 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: that have lost a parent or a loved one, like 185 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: I know, you're gonna know what I mean. Because even 186 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: though it's been ten years since my mom's passing, there 187 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: are days when I'm like driving not even thinking about anything, 188 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: and it's like I get like this feeling in my 189 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: chest of like, oh my gosh, my mom's ot here, 190 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: Like I wish I could call her, and like I 191 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: start crying out of nowhere, because it doesn't matter how 192 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: old I am, I'm always going to need my mom, 193 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: you know. So it was a beautiful moment and the 194 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: crowd loved it and just hearing her voice. I didn't 195 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: want to hear it in the rehearsals. I just knew 196 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: it was going to happen, but I hadn't rehearsed that part. 197 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: I just knew I know what I'm singing. I don't 198 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: know what she's going to sing or how she's going 199 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: to sound. So all of that was like a moment 200 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: of like whoa for me and just hearing her It's 201 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: just thank goodness for technology, you guys, that I'm able 202 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: to have those moments. 203 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: It was beautiful. It was beautiful. 204 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: The next day, I went to a radio festival, which 205 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: had me nervous as well, because I'm like, okay, it's free. 206 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: People can go there for free. What if they don't 207 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: buy tickets for Lunati. That was another reason why I 208 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, the tickets are slow whatever, 209 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: And people were saying oh, well, chicks notienne publica Mexico, 210 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: which means well, Chiki's doesn't have a you know, an 211 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: audience here. And people thought that it was gonna flop. 212 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: That's what was happening two weeks before the Lunadi. You 213 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: guys imagine that stress. But I was like, no, this 214 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: happened for a reason. It's happening at the right time. 215 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: God would not place me in this place at this 216 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: moment to fail, Like I, I've gone through way too much. 217 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: And I just kept repeating that, and I was like, 218 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: the Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. 219 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 2: I just kept repeating. 220 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: When I would find myself getting nervous, I was like, oh, 221 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: everything's gonna be fine, And look at God showing off 222 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: and showing up in my life. 223 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: We sold out. So anyways, going back to the festival. 224 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: The next day was the festival, and again it was 225 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: free and I was second to last to perform. 226 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: It's late. 227 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: I had my engineers, and in festivals usually you shouldn't 228 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: take your own engineers because it takes a long time 229 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: from like one band to the next. It's like this 230 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: whole thing and the wiring and the whole thing. Anyways, 231 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: it took forty five minutes. You guys, imagine from the 232 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: last performer, the one before me, forty five minutes for 233 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: me to come on. Mind you, I didn't know what 234 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: was going on. You know, my team doesn't tell me that, 235 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: don't want me to get nervous. I didn't find this 236 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: out until the next day. But Irakulba, it was my 237 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: team's fault because they wanted to change everything up and 238 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: switch everything up and make it sound amazing because they 239 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: take care of me. But at a festival. Now we've 240 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: learned we shouldn't do that. We're learning little by little. 241 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: But anyways, took forty five minutes. So the crowd was upset. 242 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: They were already like whistling Chiflando like hey, like they 243 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: were kind of like they were impatient, and I understand 244 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: and everybody. I saw everybody's face. I was like, what's 245 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: going on? Because someone was telling me like I thought 246 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: that it was them. You know, I'm just sitting here 247 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: waiting for an hour and a half, you guys sitting 248 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: in my green room waiting to go on stage, and 249 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: I thought it was their fault, the festival's fault, right AnyWho, 250 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: So I see everyone's face and everyone's kind of like nervous. 251 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: I walk on stage, and my band and Johnny their 252 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: little faces were like, and I'm like, shit, something's up. 253 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: But we hadn't communicated because you know, everyone was doing 254 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 1: their own thing. So I went on and sure enough, 255 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: I felt the crowd, you guys, I felt the crowd. 256 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: They were upset. They were just looking at me straight face. 257 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: They were pissed. And I was like, Okay, this is 258 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: my chance to prove to myself, to prove to everyone, 259 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: the people that brought me here, the radio station that 260 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: brought me here, that I got what it takes. So 261 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: I made it my mission to switch their faces. And 262 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to give my all. Mind you, 263 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: it's late as hell. It was one point thirty, I 264 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: think in the morning in Mexico. People are tired. There 265 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: was still another artist after me, so my time was 266 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: cut a lot shorter because you have to be respectful 267 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: for the next person. So I was kind of like, 268 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: I felt rushed and everything. But I saw their faces 269 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: change right before my eyes. 270 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 2: You guys. 271 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: They went from I'm so pissed looking at me up 272 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: and down. Imagine that energy, to where they're like, okay, 273 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: nodding their heads smiling a little bit, and it was 274 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: so gratifying to say, Wow, it was like confirmation for 275 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: me again, like I am here, I'm leaving my footprint, 276 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: and this is what it's all about. You're not always 277 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: going to have people, necessarily, especially at festivals. Going from 278 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: a show like Lunadia where everyone was there to see 279 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: you to a festival where people are pissed and not 280 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: all of them are there to see you. That is 281 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: your opportunity as an artist to say I'm going to 282 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: show you what I can do. Maybe you don't like me, 283 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: maybe you don't know my music, but this is what 284 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: it's all about. I'm gonna get on this stage and 285 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: give it my all and seeing my heart out so 286 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: that you can fall in love with the songs and 287 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: maybe with myself. So it was tough and they did 288 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: cut my time in half, but I was so proud. 289 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: I was like, dude, we freaking did it.

I've been thinking about this 430 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: for about a year and a half or more. Actually, 431 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: I want to get an apartment out there and lather Mexico. 432 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: You guys. 433 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: I think it's going to happen this year. It has 434 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: to happen this year. I want to spend more time 435 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: in Mexico. I want to do more interviews Kio Seras Presentia. 436 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: I want I want to kind of just be in 437 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: the atmosphere and for people to know that yes, I'm 438 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: American and I'm proud to be American, but I'm also 439 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: very proud to be Mexican. So in order to do that, 440 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: I have to spend more time there and they need 441 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: to see me there. And I love Mexico City. It's 442 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: such a sexy ass freaking city. Like it's like La 443 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: and Miami and just so many things all in one. 444 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: And the food is amazing and the people are great, 445 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: so I think I don't know, it's either that or Waadahada, 446 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: but most likely Mexico City. So I'm definitely going to 447 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: spend more time in Mexico. I'll still have my house here, 448 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna be like hopefully having two places, maybe three, 449 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: because I also want to go to Miami.

Even when we had our 458 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: press conference the day before the concert. The Mexican media 459 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: is a little scary, you guys. You know, well for 460 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: me at least, because they ask me all kinds of 461 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: questions that have nothing to do with my music, that 462 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with my life, you know, asking 463 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: me questions about other artists or other things that are 464 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: going on in the world, or family issues, and I'm 465 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: just like, dude, I'm so past that, Like I'm respectful, 466 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: but now I'm just calm. And they even noticed it. 467 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, scheeez, you're so different, Like 468 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: you're radiating this different light. Is it because you're happy 469 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: in your relationship? And yes, it has to do with 470 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: my relationship, I'm in peace, but it also has to 471 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: do with how I feel about myself. And I feel confident, 472 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: and I feel secure, and I feel worthy, and I 473 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: feel got bass, I feel capable, you know what I mean. 474 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: Like I really do feel that way.

And even if I were to fall 476 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: on stage, God forbid, you know, but it happens to 477 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: the best of us. It happened to Carol g and 478 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: she handled it like a free and queen. And even 479 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: if something like that would happen, I'm not like afraid 480 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: anymore of like everything that could go wrong. I'm thinking 481 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: of everything that can go right, you know. That's I 482 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: think what switched.

It's not that 491 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm not nervous before going on stage, because I was nervous, 492 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: but even that is ham It's like silent, It's not 493 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,239 Speaker 1: as loud anymore in my tummy, in my mind right 494 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: before going on stage.
