Speaker 1: Those funs in Mexico, they are so down for you,
Speaker 1: Like well, I don't know if it was because it
Speaker 1: was my first show. It was just this overwhelming feeling.
Speaker 1: It was just an amazing moment. I saw their faces
Speaker 1: change right before my eyes. They went from I'm so
Speaker 1: pissed looking at me up and down to where they're like, okay,
Speaker 1: nodding their heads, smiling a little bit, and it was
Speaker 1: so gratifying for my type of music, and I think
Speaker 1: for music in general. You guys, Mexico is such an
Speaker 1: important place and they're amazing and I think.
Speaker 2: We rocked it.
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, saludos. I hope you all are having a
Speaker 1: really great day. I've been a busy bee and so
Speaker 1: it's really nice to just sit and talk to you
Speaker 1: guys about what's going on in my life. As you know,
Speaker 1: I've been on tour for the Abajos. It's been a
Speaker 1: lot of fun and I've really enjoyed it. And we
Speaker 1: started off in Mexico. So let's get into this episode.
Speaker 1: This is Cheeky's and show. One of the reasons the
Speaker 1: tour is so special to me is because it's the
Speaker 1: first time I've ever performed in Mexico. Well, I performed
Speaker 1: before in Mexico, but this is like my first show,
Speaker 1: you guys. In late March, I performed at the Lunardio
Speaker 1: in Mexico City. Oh my goodness, I love you guys
Speaker 1: so much that there is the sound of the crowd
Speaker 1: during my concert, my people, I love you guys so much.
Speaker 1: It was actually sold out and I'm just so excited
Speaker 1: and so grateful with everyone that was there to see me.
Speaker 1: Tomy's bozis in Mexico. It was special, you guys. It
Speaker 1: is very difficult to break through to Mexico or into Mexico,
Speaker 1: should I say? It's just the different audience. The media
Speaker 1: is different out there, and I've been trying for years now.
Speaker 1: I've gone out to Mexico to promote my books, some
Speaker 1: of my music, and I think they see me more
Speaker 1: of like an American. And I've always said this, you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm a hundred percent Mexicana, one hundred percent American, I'm
Speaker 1: two hundred percent I'm from you know, the two hundred
Speaker 1: percent club. But in Mexico is in the sense of
Speaker 1: they want us to be like super proud of being Mexican,
Speaker 1: and I am, And I think it's just taken a
Speaker 1: little while for them to believe me, I think, and
Speaker 1: for them to realize that I am very proud to
Speaker 1: be Mexican. K then go San Mexican. And not only that,
Speaker 1: but a lot of things had been said. There was
Speaker 1: a lot of cheese min and they couldn't really focus
Speaker 1: on my music. So now I'm like xnaying all that
Speaker 1: stuff and trying not to have so much drama in
Speaker 1: my life. And thank goodness, I think just staying away
Speaker 1: from certain people and learning from my mistakes in the
Speaker 1: past has really taught me to just kind of go
Speaker 1: around certain questions and bring it back to my music. So,
Speaker 1: you know, thank goodness for my pr Shout out to
Speaker 1: Jennifer Neeman, my publicist.
Speaker 2: Anyways, it was an amazing show. You guys.
Speaker 1: It was a Tuesday, I'll be honest. We were worried,
Speaker 1: all of us, my team, my record label. Everyone was
Speaker 1: worried because the ticket sales were pretty slow. And that
Speaker 1: is because there have been other promoters in Mexico trying
Speaker 1: to sell my shows and they say I'm going to
Speaker 1: be somewhere and then I don't show up because they're
Speaker 1: not my booking agency, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: it's kind of given me a bad rap, so I
Speaker 1: had to just get out there and show them, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: this is true. I will be at the Lunardio. It
Speaker 1: is my show. And then that's when the ticket sale
Speaker 1: started coming in and we didn't find out until the
Speaker 1: day of, which was March twenty eighth, you guys, that
Speaker 1: the Lunardio was sold out, and I was just excited.
Speaker 1: It was a very important because it wasn't only a
Speaker 1: concert for my Mexico fans, but also for the platforms,
Speaker 1: all the platforms, all the digital platforms, my record label,
Speaker 1: a lot of promoters. It was like their first time
Speaker 1: really saying okay, Cheeky's as a singer, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And we killed it. I think we did
Speaker 1: an amazing job. My banda Ana, they are amazing, you guys.
Speaker 2: We rehearsed. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was so crazy because I have a teleprompter just
Speaker 1: for like as a safety net, but I know all
Speaker 1: the songs. But I just psyched myself out sometimes and
Speaker 1: I felt like I didn't even need to use it,
Speaker 1: like I was just in the moment, feeling everything, feeling
Speaker 1: the energy of the crowd, and oh my god, can
Speaker 1: I tell you guys, like those fans of Mexico. Mexico fans,
Speaker 1: they are so passionate, they are so down for you.
Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying that, you know, in the United States,
Speaker 1: my fans aren't down for me, because you guys are.
Speaker 1: I always say my boss be's are the best. I
Speaker 1: honestly mean that from the bottom of my heart. You
Speaker 1: guys do things for me that I don't see other
Speaker 1: artists talk about. Or maybe they do and they just
Speaker 1: won't talk about it. I don't know, but you guys
Speaker 1: are the best. But in Mexico, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it was because it was my first, my own first show,
Speaker 1: because again I've been at festivals, I've been invited to
Speaker 1: people's concerts, but this was like my first real concert,
Speaker 1: like my concert, so it was like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it was just like this overwhelming feeling. And they knew
Speaker 1: all my songs. You guys like songs that have never
Speaker 1: been a single, and my favorite song number seven in
Speaker 1: trebas on the Abahrena album. They sing it, it's never
Speaker 1: been a single, I haven't done a music video for it,
Speaker 1: and they were freaking singing all of my songs.
Speaker 2: You guys.
Speaker 1: It was just an amazing moment, and it was an
Speaker 1: important show because it was recorded both visually and audio.
Speaker 1: So you guys, there will be a live album, something
Speaker 1: I've been wanting for a long time. And I can
Speaker 1: honestly tell you I sound so good for not being
Speaker 1: on a stage for more than like almost four months.
Speaker 2: You guys.
Speaker 1: Of course I rehearsed, of course I do my vocal
Speaker 1: coaching all that stuff, but I don't know, I just
Speaker 1: felt so good in every aspect. I loved, you know,
Speaker 1: the outfits, and that's one thing I told myself, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do ave Herena Barrellos, which means we gotta
Speaker 1: level up. We got to upgrade the wardrobe. I bought
Speaker 1: the bandam outfits, you know, shoes. I want them to
Speaker 1: look like me. You know, I wear tennis shoes. But
Speaker 1: then also we're proud to be Latinos, so we've got
Speaker 1: to show that side as well, and you know, regional
Speaker 1: Mexican and stuff. So that's kind of like what this
Speaker 1: whole tour has been about, Like the bandanas and you
Speaker 1: know that the Hannahs all in one, you know, the
Speaker 1: Mexican and American side of me. So we're still doing
Speaker 1: that in this part too, but I'm adding different songs,
Speaker 1: songs that people have been asking for, like songs from
Speaker 1: like my previous albums. I've also added corridos, something that
Speaker 1: I love, you know, as you guys know, both my
Speaker 1: ave Herena songs are corridos, and I love corrios. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what I grew up on, you guys, listening to
Speaker 1: Cheli No Sanchez to do rassos. I mean, like I
Speaker 1: can't even think of who else but a bunch of corrillos.
Speaker 1: So I added a little bit of that, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of what it is, you know.
Speaker 2: We just leveled it up.
Speaker 1: Like all the colors right now for a head right now,
Speaker 1: you guys are red, silver, and black. That's all we're
Speaker 1: going to see on this tour. Oh and a hint
Speaker 1: of yellow. And that's what I did in Lunatio. I
Speaker 1: did change so the yellow because of course, you know,
Speaker 1: bees honey, you know, so in some concerts I will
Speaker 1: have like a yellow outfit here and there, but mainly
Speaker 1: everything will be red, black and silver. I wanted it
Speaker 1: to be just very like a theme, you know, and
Speaker 1: easier on me as well, because trying to find something
Speaker 1: to wear every show is not only expensive, but it's
Speaker 1: time consuming. So I was like, let's make a bunch
Speaker 1: of outfits and let's like inner change them and kind
Speaker 1: of just stay in the like same aesthetic.
Speaker 2: So it was great.
Speaker 1: I think we started off this tour on the right
Speaker 1: foot and talking about Lunadio and everything that happen. I
Speaker 1: don't want to miss a very important part my mom
Speaker 1: making an appearance. And here's the thing. I was very surprised.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a surprise for me because I knew I
Speaker 1: wanted to surprise the audience and the people that were there.
Speaker 1: I knew my mom was going to sing. I just
Speaker 1: hadn't seen the images like in the background, So it
Speaker 1: was a surprise for the audience, But people thought it.
Speaker 2: Was a surprise for me. Mind you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm very like kind of micromanage everything, so
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to know everything that's going on.
Speaker 1: Of course, I put my set list together, everything we
Speaker 1: rehearsed and everything. So I was just surprised because every
Speaker 1: time I see my mom or I hear her voice,
Speaker 1: I never know how I'm going to feel. I hadn't
Speaker 1: seen any of the images they were beautiful and it's
Speaker 1: just seeing there and it was just like that moment
Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, that's why Johnny. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys have seen some clips on TikTok
Speaker 1: and stuff, you know, because Johnny and my brother is
Speaker 1: now a part of the band. Johnny kind of turned
Speaker 1: me around so that I could see the screens and
Speaker 1: it was just like a moment of like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: And it hits me sometimes, you guys, where I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: my mom's not here. I'm so focused and I have
Speaker 1: to be strong and everything like that's like every day
Speaker 1: I'm like I got to be strong. I got to
Speaker 1: be strong for myself or my siblings. That it's not
Speaker 1: that I forget that my mom's out here, but in
Speaker 1: those types of moments, it really hits hard. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, my mom's not here. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if if that makes any sense, but those of you
Speaker 1: that have lost a parent or a loved one, like
Speaker 1: I know, you're gonna know what I mean. Because even
Speaker 1: though it's been ten years since my mom's passing, there
Speaker 1: are days when I'm like driving not even thinking about anything,
Speaker 1: and it's like I get like this feeling in my
Speaker 1: chest of like, oh my gosh, my mom's ot here,
Speaker 1: Like I wish I could call her, and like I
Speaker 1: start crying out of nowhere, because it doesn't matter how
Speaker 1: old I am, I'm always going to need my mom,
Speaker 1: you know. So it was a beautiful moment and the
Speaker 1: crowd loved it and just hearing her voice. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to hear it in the rehearsals. I just knew
Speaker 1: it was going to happen, but I hadn't rehearsed that part.
Speaker 1: I just knew I know what I'm singing. I don't
Speaker 1: know what she's going to sing or how she's going
Speaker 1: to sound. So all of that was like a moment
Speaker 1: of like whoa for me and just hearing her It's
Speaker 1: just thank goodness for technology, you guys, that I'm able
Speaker 1: to have those moments.
Speaker 2: It was beautiful. It was beautiful.
Speaker 1: The next day, I went to a radio festival, which
Speaker 1: had me nervous as well, because I'm like, okay, it's free.
Speaker 1: People can go there for free. What if they don't
Speaker 1: buy tickets for Lunati. That was another reason why I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, the tickets are slow whatever,
Speaker 1: And people were saying oh, well, chicks notienne publica Mexico,
Speaker 1: which means well, Chiki's doesn't have a you know, an
Speaker 1: audience here. And people thought that it was gonna flop.
Speaker 1: That's what was happening two weeks before the Lunadi. You
Speaker 1: guys imagine that stress. But I was like, no, this
Speaker 1: happened for a reason. It's happening at the right time.
Speaker 1: God would not place me in this place at this
Speaker 1: moment to fail, Like I, I've gone through way too much.
Speaker 1: And I just kept repeating that, and I was like,
Speaker 1: the Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need.
Speaker 2: I just kept repeating.
Speaker 1: When I would find myself getting nervous, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be fine, And look at God showing off
Speaker 1: and showing up in my life.
Speaker 2: We sold out. So anyways, going back to the festival.
Speaker 1: The next day was the festival, and again it was
Speaker 1: free and I was second to last to perform.
Speaker 2: It's late.
Speaker 1: I had my engineers, and in festivals usually you shouldn't
Speaker 1: take your own engineers because it takes a long time
Speaker 1: from like one band to the next. It's like this
Speaker 1: whole thing and the wiring and the whole thing. Anyways,
Speaker 1: it took forty five minutes. You guys, imagine from the
Speaker 1: last performer, the one before me, forty five minutes for
Speaker 1: me to come on. Mind you, I didn't know what
Speaker 1: was going on. You know, my team doesn't tell me that,
Speaker 1: don't want me to get nervous. I didn't find this
Speaker 1: out until the next day. But Irakulba, it was my
Speaker 1: team's fault because they wanted to change everything up and
Speaker 1: switch everything up and make it sound amazing because they
Speaker 1: take care of me. But at a festival. Now we've
Speaker 1: learned we shouldn't do that. We're learning little by little.
Speaker 1: But anyways, took forty five minutes. So the crowd was upset.
Speaker 1: They were already like whistling Chiflando like hey, like they
Speaker 1: were kind of like they were impatient, and I understand
Speaker 1: and everybody. I saw everybody's face. I was like, what's
Speaker 1: going on? Because someone was telling me like I thought
Speaker 1: that it was them. You know, I'm just sitting here
Speaker 1: waiting for an hour and a half, you guys sitting
Speaker 1: in my green room waiting to go on stage, and
Speaker 1: I thought it was their fault, the festival's fault, right AnyWho,
Speaker 1: So I see everyone's face and everyone's kind of like nervous.
Speaker 1: I walk on stage, and my band and Johnny their
Speaker 1: little faces were like, and I'm like, shit, something's up.
Speaker 1: But we hadn't communicated because you know, everyone was doing
Speaker 1: their own thing. So I went on and sure enough,
Speaker 1: I felt the crowd, you guys, I felt the crowd.
Speaker 1: They were upset. They were just looking at me straight face.
Speaker 1: They were pissed. And I was like, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: my chance to prove to myself, to prove to everyone,
Speaker 1: the people that brought me here, the radio station that
Speaker 1: brought me here, that I got what it takes. So
Speaker 1: I made it my mission to switch their faces. And
Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to give my all. Mind you,
Speaker 1: it's late as hell. It was one point thirty, I
Speaker 1: think in the morning in Mexico. People are tired. There
Speaker 1: was still another artist after me, so my time was
Speaker 1: cut a lot shorter because you have to be respectful
Speaker 1: for the next person. So I was kind of like,
Speaker 1: I felt rushed and everything. But I saw their faces
Speaker 1: change right before my eyes.
Speaker 2: You guys.
Speaker 1: They went from I'm so pissed looking at me up
Speaker 1: and down. Imagine that energy, to where they're like, okay,
Speaker 1: nodding their heads smiling a little bit, and it was
Speaker 1: so gratifying to say, Wow, it was like confirmation for
Speaker 1: me again, like I am here, I'm leaving my footprint,
Speaker 1: and this is what it's all about. You're not always
Speaker 1: going to have people, necessarily, especially at festivals. Going from
Speaker 1: a show like Lunadia where everyone was there to see
Speaker 1: you to a festival where people are pissed and not
Speaker 1: all of them are there to see you. That is
Speaker 1: your opportunity as an artist to say I'm going to
Speaker 1: show you what I can do. Maybe you don't like me,
Speaker 1: maybe you don't know my music, but this is what
Speaker 1: it's all about. I'm gonna get on this stage and
Speaker 1: give it my all and seeing my heart out so
Speaker 1: that you can fall in love with the songs and
Speaker 1: maybe with myself. So it was tough and they did
Speaker 1: cut my time in half, but I was so proud.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, we freaking did it. And before
Speaker 1: I forget, one of the things that I'm doing in
Speaker 1: this new tour A Part two is I'm crowning people.
Speaker 1: And I know this sounds crazy, you guys, and some people,
Speaker 1: especially like maybe some Christians or really religious people will
Speaker 1: see it as a bad thing because I am talking
Speaker 1: about God on stage when I'm wearing some like little
Speaker 1: shorts and dancing really sexy and having tequila and cussing.
Speaker 1: Because I've heard little things here and there it's like,
Speaker 1: how can she talk about God? How can she pray
Speaker 1: on stage? And honestly, I don't give I can give
Speaker 1: two fucks about what those people are saying, because this
Speaker 1: is where you touch people's hearts. God gave me this opportunity,
Speaker 1: this voice, and I'm going to use it in the
Speaker 1: best way possible. And this is why I always call
Speaker 1: myself a spiritual gangster, you guys, because yes, I twerk,
Speaker 1: but I also go to church. Yes I cuss, but
Speaker 1: I love God. I feel like it's all balanced. It's
Speaker 1: the yin and the yank and I live with good
Speaker 1: intentions and not just because I cuss and I kiss
Speaker 1: girls sometimes and I like to dance sexy and I
Speaker 1: drink tequila doesn't mean that God loves me any less.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. And that's why a lot of people stay
Speaker 1: we're from church because they feel judged. Right, This is
Speaker 1: a whole other episode, you guys. But I just needed
Speaker 1: to say this because I saw some comments and not
Speaker 1: that I even want to give that too much attention,
Speaker 1: but I do want to express this because it's important
Speaker 1: to me. I told God in my prayers and in
Speaker 1: the darkest moments of my life, God, I know you
Speaker 1: have me here for a reason, because there are a
Speaker 1: lot of times that I've wanted to give up, say yeah,
Speaker 1: ask taki yanopoilo because it's tough. It's been an uphill
Speaker 1: battle for me. But I'm grateful and anyways, and in
Speaker 1: those moments, I have told God, Look, this is what
Speaker 1: you want for me. I know that there's something huge coming.
Speaker 1: Help me stay strong, and I promise you that when
Speaker 1: we get to those big stages, I will glorify your name,
Speaker 1: you know. And it's not even about me preaching or anything.
Speaker 1: It's showing through my experience, through my life, everything that
Speaker 1: I have lived through and gone through. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: here if it wasn't for the grace and favor of God,
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for my faith in God, my spirituality.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I would have been here. Losing
Speaker 1: my mom the way I lost her, everything that I've
Speaker 1: gone through, It's a higher power. That's all I could say.
Speaker 1: And I want to share that with everyone. And I
Speaker 1: wanted people to understand that it's not me that I'm
Speaker 1: the abe Herena, that I'm a badass bitch that this,
Speaker 1: and that I feel I'm better than everyone else. That's
Speaker 1: not what it is. It's I earned this crown. I
Speaker 1: didn't always have it. It fell a few times, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I had to pick it up
Speaker 1: off the floor and put it back on my head
Speaker 1: and say, no, I am here to stay whether you
Speaker 1: want me to or not. And I'm not saying you guys,
Speaker 1: but other people, negative people want me to be here
Speaker 1: or not. It's not up to you, guys. It's up
Speaker 1: to the man upstairs, to the higher power. And that's
Speaker 1: what this crown, the abe Herena, is all about. And
Speaker 1: I've been doing it at every show and I just
Speaker 1: close my eyes on stage, you guys, and I pray
Speaker 1: on stage, buzzed or not, looking like Lahuchi or not.
Speaker 1: I pray cause it doesn't matter what you look like
Speaker 1: or how you dress. If you want to talk to God,
Speaker 1: He's always here to listen. So yup, I take that
Speaker 1: moment in the festival to you, guys.
Speaker 2: I did it.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not getting off this stage without
Speaker 1: giving someone this crown. I brought this crown and that's
Speaker 1: part of my show. And I was already like having
Speaker 1: to get off, but I was like, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I'm doing this.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I close my eyes and I pray, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, help me choose the person that you
Speaker 1: want me to speak to.
Speaker 2: And I just open my eyes and I.
Speaker 1: Look around, and whoever I connect with is the person
Speaker 1: that I just feel it in my heart. I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to explain it. And I say a
Speaker 1: few words. I don't even know what I'm going to say.
Speaker 1: I don't even recite it. You guys, It's just here.
Speaker 1: I made it this far and I still haven't gotten
Speaker 1: to where I want to get. And I know that
Speaker 1: there are going to be more trials and obstacles in
Speaker 1: my path, but I am here, fur, and that's basically
Speaker 1: the message that I give them. No matter what you've
Speaker 1: gone through, you are also in Avejarrena, in the Nunadio,
Speaker 1: there was this guy named Jordan. It was a guy
Speaker 1: and that's who I spoke to. Oh my god, his heart,
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. He was such a beautiful guy. Like
Speaker 1: his little eyes, the way he looked at me, you guys,
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. It was just I can still remember
Speaker 1: his look, the look on his face, and how happy
Speaker 1: he was to receive this crown, and it was just
Speaker 1: I want people to feel special because we are, because
Speaker 1: sometimes we get so consumed with life and the negativity
Speaker 1: that we forget that we are all here for a
Speaker 1: reason and we have to let our light shine. And
Speaker 1: I want to be that person to remind you guys.
Speaker 1: So anyways, that's what the whole thing with the crown is,
Speaker 1: and it has it's all. They're all custom made.
Speaker 2: You guys.
Speaker 1: Have my guy who puts the bees on there, and
Speaker 1: it's the abe Herena crown, you guys. And it's been amazing.
Speaker 1: And I gave it to Jordan, and I also gave
Speaker 1: it to two ladies in Mexico and one in McAllen
Speaker 1: and they loved it and I'm loving it all in all,
Speaker 1: you guys. It was a successful, successful trip to Mexico.
Speaker 1: I had a photo shoot the day after the festival,
Speaker 1: so it was very busy and I came back very tired,
Speaker 1: but it was worth it. I felt like, finally, you guys, finally,
Speaker 1: all the hard work, all the late nights, all the
Speaker 1: early mornings, all the tears are paying off, and for
Speaker 1: my type of music, and I think for music in general,
Speaker 1: you guys, Mexico is such an important blasa's what we
Speaker 1: call it, but such an important place for your music
Speaker 1: and for you to get to the next level as
Speaker 1: an artist. And they're amazing. And I'm not just saying
Speaker 1: because we're Mexican or because I'm Mexican, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: it from the bottom of my heart, you guys. So
Speaker 1: for me, it was a huge accomplishment. I had so
Speaker 1: much fun, as tired as I was for that, for
Speaker 1: that cover that I did for the magazine Estilo Dea
Speaker 1: you guys, it should be coming out soon.
Speaker 2: I think we rocked it.
Speaker 1: It was amazing, and I just wanted to share that
Speaker 1: with you guys because I am so proud. I'm so
Speaker 1: proud of my team. I'm proud of myself, of my banda,
Speaker 1: of everyone that showed up that day.
Speaker 2: Mucha.
Speaker 1: Bovis the Mexik and Illunario Itsueno the Lunardio is the
Speaker 1: sister and the baby of the big place Alal and
Speaker 1: I did a video out there, you guys, right in
Speaker 1: front of it and I said I will be here
Speaker 1: one day, and I have it on my vision board
Speaker 1: and it says sold out and God willing send me
Speaker 1: all your positive vibe. You guys, we are going to
Speaker 1: do it. But this was a huge step, and I
Speaker 1: am grateful. I'm grateful, and I loved Mexico so much
Speaker 1: that I am really considering. I've been thinking about this
Speaker 1: for about a year and a half or more. Actually,
Speaker 1: I want to get an apartment out there and lather Mexico.
Speaker 2: You guys.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to happen this year. It has
Speaker 1: to happen this year. I want to spend more time
Speaker 1: in Mexico. I want to do more interviews Kio Seras Presentia.
Speaker 1: I want I want to kind of just be in
Speaker 1: the atmosphere and for people to know that yes, I'm
Speaker 1: American and I'm proud to be American, but I'm also
Speaker 1: very proud to be Mexican. So in order to do that,
Speaker 1: I have to spend more time there and they need
Speaker 1: to see me there. And I love Mexico City. It's
Speaker 1: such a sexy ass freaking city. Like it's like La
Speaker 1: and Miami and just so many things all in one.
Speaker 1: And the food is amazing and the people are great,
Speaker 1: so I think I don't know, it's either that or Waadahada,
Speaker 1: but most likely Mexico City. So I'm definitely going to
Speaker 1: spend more time in Mexico. I'll still have my house here,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna be like hopefully having two places, maybe three,
Speaker 1: because I also want to go to Miami. So AnyWho,
Speaker 1: I think we started off this tour on the right foot,
Speaker 1: and I am proud. Honestly, I can tell you that
Speaker 1: I am so proud of myself, and I know that
Speaker 1: might sound weird, but I am at a point in
Speaker 1: my life where I think it's good and it's healthy
Speaker 1: for us to say I am proud of myself. I
Speaker 1: am proud of how far I've come, despite the adversity,
Speaker 1: the obstacles. I feel calm. Even when we had our
Speaker 1: press conference the day before the concert. The Mexican media
Speaker 1: is a little scary, you guys. You know, well for
Speaker 1: me at least, because they ask me all kinds of
Speaker 1: questions that have nothing to do with my music, that
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with my life, you know, asking
Speaker 1: me questions about other artists or other things that are
Speaker 1: going on in the world, or family issues, and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, dude, I'm so past that, Like I'm respectful,
Speaker 1: but now I'm just calm. And they even noticed it.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, scheeez, you're so different, Like
Speaker 1: you're radiating this different light. Is it because you're happy
Speaker 1: in your relationship? And yes, it has to do with
Speaker 1: my relationship, I'm in peace, but it also has to
Speaker 1: do with how I feel about myself. And I feel confident,
Speaker 1: and I feel secure, and I feel worthy, and I
Speaker 1: feel got bass, I feel capable, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like I really do feel that way. I feel like
Speaker 1: I've lost fear. And even if I were to fall
Speaker 1: on stage, God forbid, you know, but it happens to
Speaker 1: the best of us. It happened to Carol g and
Speaker 1: she handled it like a free and queen. And even
Speaker 1: if something like that would happen, I'm not like afraid
Speaker 1: anymore of like everything that could go wrong. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: of everything that can go right, you know. That's I
Speaker 1: think what switched. And I'm like, well, I'm here because
Speaker 1: God wants me to be here. This is my mission,
Speaker 1: this is my testimony, this is my platform. And if
Speaker 1: I wasn't meant to be here, I wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1: And once that clicked, it was just like, oh shoot,
Speaker 1: like I just feel free to do and be me
Speaker 1: completely an f what anyone else thinks.
Speaker 2: It's just been.
Speaker 1: Growing and growing more every time that. It's not that
Speaker 1: I'm not nervous before going on stage, because I was nervous,
Speaker 1: but even that is ham It's like silent, It's not
Speaker 1: as loud anymore in my tummy, in my mind right
Speaker 1: before going on stage. So I was a little nervous,
Speaker 1: but not as much as I used to be. And
Speaker 1: I hope those nerves and those butterflies never go away,
Speaker 1: because I feel like that is a sign of you
Speaker 1: being completely passionate of what you're doing. You love what
Speaker 1: you're doing, so you're gonna feel a little nervous because
Speaker 1: at least me, I want to do my very best.
Speaker 1: But now it's a different it's just different. I'm completely present.
Speaker 1: Before I would go on stage and the first song,
Speaker 1: I was still kind of like, oh shoot, like worried
Speaker 1: about the crowd and worried about what they were thinking
Speaker 1: and how they were feeling. And now it's like, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm here, let me show you. Even if you don't
Speaker 1: know this song I'm gonna sing it with my whole
Speaker 1: heart so that you can fall in love with the song.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. It's so different and that's
Speaker 2: what it's all about. I wasn't ready to stop with the.
Speaker 1: Abe Herena tour, so that's so I was like, I
Speaker 1: need a part too, and there's more music coming out,
Speaker 1: so I'm still trying to figure out if it's going
Speaker 1: to be a deluxe or a B side.
Speaker 2: Trying to figure that out.
Speaker 1: So if you want to catch the abe Herena experience,
Speaker 1: I will be sharing my next tour dates. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to focus mainly in Mexico, like that was my plan
Speaker 1: for this year, but we are going to be hitting
Speaker 1: Texas and Chicago and a lot more states, so I
Speaker 1: will keep you guys updated. But I'm definitely looking forward
Speaker 1: to sharing this with you guys. The full set list
Speaker 1: is amazing, you guys, Like it's not just because I
Speaker 1: put it together and I chose the songs and everything,
Speaker 1: but it's really fun, like I have to, for one,
Speaker 1: enjoy what I'm singing and that time in the Lunario
Speaker 1: because in these last two shows that I did after
Speaker 1: the Lunardio, I wasn't able to do my entire set list,
Speaker 1: but it was over two hours, two and a half hours,
Speaker 1: you guys at the Lunardio, and it was amazing. It
Speaker 1: felt like just fast and just it was like it
Speaker 1: kept me wanting more. So I'm hoping that that's how
Speaker 1: you guys feel. But I'm excited. I'm excited, and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna have like a crazy amount of shows just
Speaker 1: because I have been telling myself I want to work smarter,
Speaker 1: not harder, and I want to do and hit places
Speaker 1: that I wasn't able to hit in the part one
Speaker 1: of Avena, so I just wanted to clear that up.
Speaker 1: And I also want to kind of save myself and
Speaker 1: as an artist. And because I do my best to
Speaker 1: give my absolute best all the time at every show,
Speaker 1: it does deplete me a little bit, you know, and
Speaker 1: I'm exerting so much energy that I want to make
Speaker 1: sure I give myself some time in between my shows
Speaker 1: to give you guys my absolute best because I can
Speaker 1: go out there and hit it hard, but also it
Speaker 1: exhausts me mentally and emotionally. So that's why I was like,
Speaker 1: I really want to take care of that aspect so
Speaker 1: that I can give you guys my absolute best. So anyways,
Speaker 1: I will share all my dates with you guys, and
Speaker 1: hopefully I'm able to see you guys soon.
Speaker 2: Okay, and before we go, I want.
Speaker 1: To leave you guys with a few words to help
Speaker 1: motivate and inspire you throughout the week. So here is
