Speaker 2: I'm a little tired, but honestly I feel much better.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Like we needed that. I definitely really needed it.

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 3: I was out until you were out way later to me,

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 3: but I was out until two am last night, and

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 3: I felt like I needed a recovery.

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 2: I was feeling things this morning. When I woke about

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: one o'clock, I was like, this is bad.

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: We were sweating out our problems on our run. So

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 3: if you're coming from the Running Interview show, Hi, If

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 3: you're not, definitely go watch it because it was very funny.

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 1: But now we're sitting down, we're both in Miami. It's

15
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: our basle weekend. Yes it is.

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: Let's talk about this because you kind of laughed after

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: I said Alexandra Pole. Talk to me about the name switch, Like,

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: where did Xandra come from?

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: So my full name is Alexandra Pole.

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: Growing up, obviously Alexandra is a mouthful and my mom

21
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: like didn't want to call me alex so she was

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: like everyone needs to call Alexandra. Like it was a

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: very clear thing, Like my mom walked into my kindergarten

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: class and was like, if you call her alex this

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: is gonna be a problem.

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a thing. No, it's a thing.

27
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: It's a thing because I love the name Alexandra. So

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: I understand where your mom was coming from. Yea, my

29
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 3: mom was I wanted to be alex I wanted to Alexandra.

30
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: She was like, I need the whole name.

31
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: And it was one of those things when you go

32
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: to grade school that is like whoever, what your teacher

33
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: calls you is your name, and that's that and that's

34
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: what everyone's gonna call you.

35
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: So she made a big deal out of that big splash.

36
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: And then Linda Linda came in high so everyone called

37
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: me Alexandra, and then that was just too long, so

38
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: then they just called me Apol all throughout grade school.

39
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: But I was like low key, like, don't call me that.

40
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: And then high school everyone called me ap I was

41
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: like sick, advanced placement whatever. It was like my senior

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: year of high school, I really, honestly I wanted to

43
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: come up with a DJ name and I was like

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: going back and forth about what to call myself, like

45
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: looking up the most crazy names like Alexandra and Greek.

46
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: I was like, I just need something in our journey

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: to Xandra. What were the names that were in motion.

48
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: Probably like Cleopatra, Like I don't even know, Like it

49
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: was a dark place.

50
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: I really kind of went everywhere.

51
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: And then I was like, what if I just call

52
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: myself like my full name Alexandra. And I was like, wait,

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: literally nobody calls me that because it's too long. And

54
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: then I was like, I have this one friend named Xander,

55
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: and I was like, what if we just did Xandra?

56
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: And then I changed my Instagram user name, which is

57
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: when you go to college, whatever your Instagram username is,

58
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: that's what everyone calls you. So then it became Xandra.

59
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: The amount of times I'm like hi, I'm Xandra and

60
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: they're like exotic, where are you from? I'm like, uh, ohio, babes,

61
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: it's nothing special.

62
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was crazy.

63
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: You're obviously popping off. You just made Forbes thirty under thirty. Congratulation,

64
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Getting Forbes thirty under thirty is

65
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: such an accomplishment. So I want us to kind of

66
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: back up and hear your full story. Oh, so let's

67
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: talk about this. You grew up in Cincinnati.

68
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Yes, what was your life like growing up?

69
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: Painfully Norman like, whoa normal boring yeah Norman Norman. I

70
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: like that Yeah, No, just very like the most normal

71
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: American life.

72
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: I feel like you could ever have, like amazing.

73
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: Family, middle child between two brothers, very athletic family, like

74
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: I played soccer my entire life.

75
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: That's what my life revolved around.

76
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: And then I don't know, like people ask about them, like,

77
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: there's really nothing like crazy that reaches out to me.

78
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: I mean, my parents, I feel like raised me to

79
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: be very very confident.

80
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: I feel like you and I have very similar backgrounds

81
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: because I was similar, like I have two brothers, very

82
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: athletic family, Like my parents push sports and same thing.

83
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: They were like, we want to have a confident, happy daughter.

84
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: So I can relate to that. The normal upbringing.

85
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: There was really nothing special but like very like teamwork,

86
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: family oriented.

87
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: And like, but that is special because not everybody has

88
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: that family dynamic, you know. So it's so cool that

89
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: you come from such a strong family and you're so

90
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: close with your siblings. And I think the fun thing

91
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: about you two is like that people don't talk about

92
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: enough with you Miami. It's like and we think of

93
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: you Miami, we think of like.

94
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Party school, beautiful location.

95
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: But I think the cool thing about you too is

96
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: like when you're getting into Miami is no joke, right,

97
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: So I'm sure, right? So growing up, were you also

98
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: very like studious?

99
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

100
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: So I my whole entire life, my parents like, oh,

101
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: to put in perspective, my brother took the act for

102
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: the first time and he was like a sophomore in

103
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: high school and got a thirty six. So I came

104
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: around my parents like, oh my god. So like I,

105
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: my like standard for my parents was perfection, and so

106
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: I feel like that was kind of tough coming after

107
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: my brother just because he's just like a very type

108
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: A person and I could not be more different than that.

109
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: So I feel like that was really tough where I

110
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: always had a lot of pressure on me academically, but honestly,

111
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: I loved that.

112
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: I can relate to that though, Like I have an

113
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: older brother, very smart, and it was the same thing

114
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: with me, and I am very like type B.

115
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: But I can operate into Type A world.

116
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: I feel like you can too, you know, so I

117
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: could I completely understand that dynamic.

118
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: When you put the P I can figure it out.

119
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: But I need to have, like I'm so last minute

120
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: with everything. So I feel like that was a very

121
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: interesting dynamic, like he didn't drink, he didn't party, didn't

122
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: like wasn't that guy? And I came around and my

123
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: parents are like, we raised like a maniac, Like what

124
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: is wrong with her? Like my parents literally sent me

125
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: to therapy because they were like, there's something wrong with

126
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: this one, Like that one's perfect, this one's messed up because.

127
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: You had that much energy as a kid, and you

128
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: were you were very social.

129
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure I was very socialable also in high school,

130
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: I feel like whatever my parents said, I would do

131
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: the complete opposite. And my mom and I talk about

132
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: it now, like my mom and I beefed my brother

133
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: like brothers and I beefed. I was in a weird

134
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: place during high school, which I feel like made college

135
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 2: such an amazing experience for me because I was really

136
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: able to like branch out and I had my rebellious

137
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: gears when my parents were there and they really kind

138
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: of like knocked me down in the best way possible,

139
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: like I needed to be right raindo.

140
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: So in high school, you were partying, Yeah, okay, that's fair.

141
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: I mean, like, so was I like that's yeah, super normal.

142
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: And then I'm curious, like, I know your older brother

143
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: also went to U Miami, right, yes, so is that

144
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: kind of what inspired you to want to go to

145
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: you Miami.

146
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: Well, it was actually so annoying of him because he

147
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: was super smart and he was applying to like Dartmouth, Columbia, Harvard,

148
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: and obviously, for me, I was like, well, that's just

149
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: not gonna happen, you know what I mean? So I

150
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: thought that he was going to go and do that,

151
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: and I was always looking at you Miami. You Miami too,

152
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: Lane and Smu those were my top ones. And then

153
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: I just remember he kind of applied to you Miami,

154
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: like oh whatever, we'll figure it out. And then it

155
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: came to crunch time, decision time, and he randomly pulled

156
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: a quick one and was like, I'm going to you Miami,

157
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: and I was pissed. I was like, are you kidding me?

158
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: Like that was supposed to be my school. And then

159
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: he ended up going and like he had an amazing time,

160
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: And honestly, it's probably one of the best things that

161
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 2: ever happened to us because it brought.

162
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: Us so close close. How what's the age gap?

163
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 2: Fifteen months seventeen months. Like we're almost like Irish twins.

164
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: So that was we had like same friend group and college,

165
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: same friend group in high school. Wow, so we really overlapped.

166
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: That's why we beefed so hard.

167
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: I get that. Yeah, h, but that's really cool that

168
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: you ended up going to school together. Yeah.

169
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: And just I guess backtracking a second before we get

170
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: into college, because I'm so freaking excited to talk to

171
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: you about your college years because clearly everybody knows they

172
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: were iconic.

173
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: At you Miami, they were crazy.

174
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: But I think the most interesting thing about you too

175
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: is like you have always loved music and wanted to

176
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: be a DJ, And it's so cool to see this

177
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: all coming into fruition. When did you figure out you

178
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: wanted to kind of learn how to DJ?

179
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: I always was obsessed with music concerts, Like again, I

180
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: was rebellious. So every single weekend I would like literally

181
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: flee the state with my ex boyfriend, who was awful.

182
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: I would be like, oh Mom, I'm sleeping at my

183
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: friend's house. No, I'd be in like Louisville, Kentucky, like

184
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: at a Walk of Walk, like all that easy.

185
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: Sorry.

186
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: My mom was like, oh my god. I would literally

187
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: leave my phone in Ohio. I would go to Kentucky like.

188
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Wow, wait, you were really fucking rebellious. Okay, No, it

189
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: was like not good. Yeah, it was not good.

190
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: So I always had this extreme love for music concerts festivals.

191
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: It was good, though, I just have to say, because

192
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: it's made you who you are today, you know.

193
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

194
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: So I no, I needed it. I needed it, Yeah,

195
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: I need it. I also needed to push my mom.

196
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: What are you going to do if you have a

197
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: daughter that was like you and I I'm so screwed.

198
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm so screwed, my mom said.

199
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: My grandma said to my mom that she's like, I

200
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 2: just can't wait till you have a daughter, because she's

201
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: going to be time times worse than you.

202
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 3: Your Mom's like, I can't wait for you to get tortured. Zandre,

203
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: Oh my god from the Northeast.

204
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: No, yeah, buckle up, I'm not okay. So everybody's like

205
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: when you have when I have kids, I'm like, when

206
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 2: I have the mental capacity to deal with myself, that is.

207
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: When I can have good right Okay, yes, but no.

208
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: So I always loved going to music festivals. I went

209
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: to like La La plusa multiple years, and then my

210
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 2: junior I went to La La Pluza saw Alice in

211
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: Wonderland perform main stage headlining act, and I was like,

212
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 2: that is what I want to do. I came home again.

213
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: I was really rebellious during this time, and when I

214
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: told my mom, I was like, I want to go

215
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: and be a DJ. She was like, thank god, something

216
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: that isn't like boys partying, going out anything like that.

217
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: So we went.

218
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: The next day, I went to Guitar Center, bought myself

219
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: a controller, looked up on YouTube how to become a DJ,

220
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 2: and then pretty much taught myself from their first show

221
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: was my high school homecoming. I love how supportive your

222
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: mom was like, that's what I mean, Like, it's just

223
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: to have such a supportive family because at that point

224
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: in life she could have been like really girl, like

225
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: really and she was just so happy for me that

226
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: I was like passionate about something because it was one

227
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: of those things. I always loved music, but I can

228
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: never sang, I can never I know piano not well.

229
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how to play the guitar. And I

230
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: was like, this is.

231
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: Something where I can really dive in. But my creativeness

232
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: and my time, yeah, to do something really cool.

233
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: It's just so cool now and like seeing where you're

234
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: at and knowing this about you, like it's coming to fruition.

235
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: And I know you played at Lallapalooza this past year, right,

236
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: so that must have been the wildest full circle moment.

237
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: It was the craziest feeling. I got off the stage

238
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: and I cried. And it's so weird because I'm the

239
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 2: least emotional person alive and I got I feel like.

240
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: That's not true. Oh no, I'm very okay. Yeah, you

241
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: are so right.

242
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: I am very hard on the outside, but once you

243
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 2: like break down my wall, I'm so mushy I can

244
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: tell and emotional, like I care so much about everything.

245
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: I feel like you are like the best friend ever.

246
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: I'm like loyal, so loyal to a fall like somebody

247
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: can do me wrong like so many times. And I

248
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: will never speak bad about you. I will never tear

249
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: you down. I won't say anything. I will just like

250
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: be there and exist and just like take the pain.

251
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 2: I don't know, Oh my gosh, emotional, Well, you're a.

252
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: Good person, like you don't want to make people feel bad.

253
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: So one of the first things, the first tailgate that

254
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: I ever went to, first week of school, I showed

255
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: up to a tailgate with my backpack and my laptop

256
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: in it, and I was like, I went to the

257
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: fry and I was like, I'm gonna plug in a

258
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: DJ and they were like yeah, yeah, yeah, like you

259
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: know how to DJ? And I literally said, give me

260
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: five minutes and if I suck, kick me off. And

261
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: they were like, fine, you know what, And then I

262
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: DJ those first five minutes, stayed on for two hours,

263
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 2: and then pretty much DJed every pool party tailgate after that.

264
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: That is so freaking cool.

265
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: And then first club at eighteen, I think like a

266
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: couple like two months three months after that.

267
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: I feel like Miami was the perfect school for you

268
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: to go to because Miami has such a big DJ

269
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: culture right in nightlife culture and just like a party

270
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: scene that it's like a perfect fit for somebody that

271
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 3: wants to perform for people, right.

272
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why the reason why I came here. Also,

273
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: they have amazing music business program, so I majored in

274
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: marketing in their business school, but I also was able

275
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: to get a minor music business and they have the

276
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: Frost School of Music, which is top five best music

277
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: schools in the country. So that was amazing to get

278
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: a degree from there and be with some of the

279
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 2: best professors and learn about contracts and the whole backing

280
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: of the music world.

281
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I feel like you're one of those people that

282
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: is using your degree to a fucking tea. I know

283
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: marketing and music business. What you're marketing yourself and you're

284
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: in the music industry. It's just kind of wild. It's crazy.

285
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: It really is crazy how it all ended up because

286
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: people don't understand. Like my mom was so supportive of

287
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: the whole DJ thing, but my social media career, I

288
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 2: didn't start posting until my senior year, and that was

289
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: the same time everyone was applying for jobs. I was

290
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: applying for jobs like in the music world, like being

291
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: a music agent. I really wanted to do all the

292
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: marketing for music festivals. That was like my goal if

293
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: the DJing didn't work out. Because my mom was like, girl,

294
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: we got to be for real right now, because it's

295
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: real life. It's like my mom's like, the second you

296
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: get out of school, you will not have a credit card.

297
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: You are getting cut off. You are paying for every

298
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: on your own, which I really appreciate because it really

299
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: forced me to have this like succeed or like don't survive.

300
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's so good when parents do

301
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: that for their kids and like quick side quest but

302
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 3: like my parents did the same thing, and they actually

303
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: didn't tell us till our senior year of college, but

304
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: they were like, we're going to make you take out

305
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: student loans. I think this is a good thing for

306
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: parents to do. If anybody's listening, they're like, we're going

307
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: to make you pay for your last year of college

308
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: because six months post graduating, those loans kick in and

309
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: if you're not working, you're going into debt.

310
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

311
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: It was awesome and it really like encouraged me to

312
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: be like, Okay, I have to get a job.

313
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious. Did you have internships like junior Like, okay,

314
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: what were your internship?

315
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: I was a marketing intern for music festival, Breakaway Music Festival,

316
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: So I was doing I did that for like a

317
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: whole entire year.

318
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: And then so you've experienced kind of in the corporate world. Yes,

319
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: let's go.

320
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: A little bit, yeah, a little bit here and there,

321
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: and then it was so weird. The company, Palm Tree Crew,

322
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: Palm Tree Management, who signed me to their management agency.

323
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: If I wasn't a client. I wanted to work for

324
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: the company. So before I really really took off DJing,

325
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: I was talking to them in the works of possibly

326
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: working for the company and doing marketing for their music festival.

327
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: And I'm a DJ for them. It's crazy, it's crazy. Yeah,

328
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, let's talk about this.

329
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: So, senior year of high sorry, senior year of college,

330
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: you start popping off online. What inspired you to start

331
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: posting content on TikTok and on Instagram.

332
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: It honestly was my parents kind of being like I

333
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: never really thought it was going to be a job.

334
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: I was told by like all the people that were

335
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: booking me for DJ and gigs. They were like, you

336
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: got paid like one hundred dollars maybe, And I wanted

337
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: to do this full time And I was like, what

338
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: can I do to possibly do this, like as a

339
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: full time job. And they were like, you need to

340
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: have more of a following on social media. You need

341
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: to be able to market yourself sell tickets. People don't

342
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: understand like that is the main thing for DJs. You

343
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: will not get both if you do not sell. So

344
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: it's all about the brand too, all about the branding,

345
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: all about the marketing.

346
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: And so I was like, say less, let's see.

347
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna start posting about my life, about djaying

348
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: funny stuff, and let's see what happens. The first video

349
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: I post, I was going to a U Miami pool

350
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: party and I post this like stupid video of me

351
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: just talking barely even about the pool party, just about

352
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: my life, and it blew up. I remember, I'm like

353
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: going up and down the water slide, drunk as fuck,

354
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: and I check my phone and it's like six thousand

355
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: notifications on TikTok, but really the.

356
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: Universe telling you this is your calling, like this is

357
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: your thing.

358
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: It was the most insane experience of my life. I

359
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: was like, wait what? And then I posted another video

360
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: and it popped off, and another video and it popped off,

361
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: and I was like, you don't even know what's going

362
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: on because it's just numbers on your phone. It's so

363
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: hard to translate into real life. And then yeah, I've

364
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: been pretty much doing.

365
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: That ever since. You know.

366
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: It's so cool too, is like I've been following you

367
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 3: like since the OG days, like since you kind of

368
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: started posting. I was definitely like watching your CONTENTO. I'd

369
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: see it on my FO you page. And it's wild

370
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: because like to now sit with you now and learn

371
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: about the DJ story and obviously over this past year,

372
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: I've like seen how much you've grown as a DJ

373
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: and now it's your career. But I didn't know about

374
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: the DJ stuff until I feel like maybe I don't

375
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: know until like a little bit into learning more about you.

376
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: So it is so cool now to know all of

377
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: that because at the time, like I was following you

378
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 3: for like your beauty tips and like just because I

379
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: thought your personality was funny and like you kept it

380
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: so real. And I'm curious because talking to the camera

381
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: isn't easy, yet you are so naturally good at it.

382
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: I'm curious, like early on in those days, like was

383
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: it hard to be like talking to the camera and

384
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 3: your audience.

385
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: Well, I have this like little fun fact that people

386
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: don't know about me what And that's when I never

387
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: really talk about it because I feel like it was

388
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: like such like a weird time in my life.

389
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: Also, I have like the worst memory ever.

390
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: But when I was in grade school, I used to

391
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: go out to LA during pilot season.

392
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: I used to act. Oh what yeah, okay, I used

393
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: to like.

394
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: Act and model, So I took like so many acting

395
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 2: classes and improv and talking to camera, Like improv was

396
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: my thing. Like I can like go out and like

397
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: make the most bullshit story you've ever heard and like

398
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 2: say it deadband like people are like what is going on?

399
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: So I feel like that just really helped me being

400
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: really comfortable with myself in front of a camera. And

401
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: I feel like also the way that I was raised

402
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: being so confident, like whatever I say, I backed it

403
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: up one hundred percent, Like there is no fluff, there's

404
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: no bullshit, Like it's like what it is is what

405
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 2: it is.

406
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like that really helped me being able

407
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: to talk to the camera.

408
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: But it's something weird, like lots of people feel extremely uncomfortable,

409
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: but sometimes I feel more comfortable in front of a

410
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: camera these days than like talking to actual people.

411
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: It's so interesting, it's so weird.

412
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: One of my favorite things now is to like go

413
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: on live and just like talk and like like breathe

414
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: the comments and like we'll just like chit chat it

415
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 2: up and they're like, girl, like we literally feel like

416
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: we're on face.

417
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: Okay. Does it ever freak you out? Though? When people

418
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: start recording lives? Oh yeah, they ever got in caught

419
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: in a situation where they're like recording your live.

420
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: I mean, like I fully back up everything that I say,

421
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: like I'll never really say anything that. I'm like, why

422
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: did I say that? Like I've never seen that of you.

423
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just like.

424
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: No, it's a thing. Yeah, it's a thing. It's a thing. People.

425
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do they even know to start recording?

426
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: I like they're a little weird about it. They are

427
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: a little weird about it.

428
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: They're like, oh my gosh, we have to get everything.

429
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you could just like I don't know.

430
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: I'm an open bugs. I'll pretty much sell you anything.

431
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: But the biggest one. Everyone has been like are you single?

432
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 2: And I'm like, guys, i am single, And they have

433
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: been like screen recording it, like literally like spliced it

434
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: together me like fifty times being like, guys, I am single.

435
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how else to say.

436
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: It's kind of flattering though, that, like that everybody is

437
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 3: so interested in your love life and.

438
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 2: It's it's very honestly. I appreciate it. I love the energy,

439
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: I love the passion.

440
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it as I should be.

441
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: I mean, you were part of such an iconic influencer class.

442
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 3: I'm curious, like, what was it like being part of

443
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: like such an iconic kind of era of influencing.

444
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: Like it's crazy because when when we were in it,

445
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: it is almost impossible, like we had no idea what

446
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: was going on. It was just kind of like, oh,

447
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: we're here, We're just sharing about our lives and like

448
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: we see all these numbers. But like I said, it's

449
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: so hard to translate it. I mean, it was a

450
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: lot of fun. I wish I had TikTok earlier because

451
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 2: if you guys thought I was crazy my senior year,

452
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: you should have seen the freshman.

453
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: Year, right, I'm like, there should be a reality show

454
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: at this point.

455
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: No it. I really wish I had it because it

456
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: was just so fun and so amazing and I'm so

457
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: just grateful and I'm able to look back on the

458
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: most amazing time of my life and I have a

459
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: video diary of it all, and it was so amazing

460
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: that I was able to do it with such amazing

461
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 2: people and we really kind of like banded together in

462
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: that moment. We were like the get ready with me girls.

463
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: I feel like I love that. It was special. It

464
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: was so really cool, it's so so cool.

465
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 3: Obviously, you Miami College in general like comes with a

466
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 3: lot of challenges because you're so busy with schoolwork, and

467
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: then on top of that, you had this entire career.

468
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: It was tough, like you had a full time job.

469
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: I was traveling every single day and I was like

470
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: talking all my teachers. They're like, where are you? And

471
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm in Dubai.

472
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: Bitch.

473
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm in Dubai. I can't call them

474
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: text like I. It was one of those things where

475
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: you really had to juggle everything because I had to

476
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: graduate because I needed to get my degree in all

477
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: those things, and that was a non negotiable for me.

478
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: I feel like lots of people sometimes.

479
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 2: You take off on social media about getting my degree

480
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: and finishing and finishing well was very important to me

481
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: because I had a scholarship all throughout college.

482
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 3: Yeah you're not gonna go three years. Yeah I'm not

483
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 3: gonna like bomb my GPA.

484
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: But I was very smart where I took all my

485
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: hard classes early, and so my last semester of college,

486
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: I was taking four classes and I'm pretty sure it

487
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: was like art photo.

488
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't even remember. You're like interpretive dance.

489
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: No, No, really interpretive interpretive dance.

490
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: How did you know that? I actually didn't know that.

491
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was interpretive dance.

492
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: I just kind of assumed it. And then there's like

493
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 3: the weird language classes that you can take to.

494
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: No, they were literally like move how you feel right now?

495
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: And I'd be like That'd be like I'm feeling hungover

00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: and fucking tired this.

Speaker 2: Like you also break up with your boyfriend? That like,

506
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: hey sucks before all. But I look back on every

507
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: single decision I've ever made, I'm like one percent stand

508
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: behind it, and I'm so glad that everything happened the

509
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: way that it happened, because everything happens for a reason,

510
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: and what's meant to be will be the fact, you know,

511
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: going through all this and having my whole life beyond

512
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: social media, there's always the high highs and there are

513
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: the low lows, and I feel like it's really important

514
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: to share all of that, and I feel like it's

515
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: really been this crazy rollercoaster, especially the past year, especially

516
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: where I've been through a lot, and I don't know,

517
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm really grateful that I went through those lows because

518
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 2: if you don't feel the lows, you can't feel the highs.

519
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: It's so true, dude.

520
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 3: Social media highs and lowser is so real, so crazy, scary,

521
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 3: really scary.

522
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: Crazy because it's you know, we put our lives out

523
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: there so millions of people can watch it, and so

524
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 2: you're opening up yourself to millions of opinions and that's amazing.

525
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 2: But you really got to stay true to yourself and

526
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: just be confident because it can.

527
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: Really get you absolutely.

528
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: And what was it like going from just being a

529
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 3: normal student on campus to all of a sudden having

530
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: millions of followers. I'm sure everybody on campus, at least

531
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 3: all the girls and guys your age like knew who

532
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: you were, right, Yeah, what was that experience like with

533
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: your peers?

534
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 2: I feel like I am so grateful that I it'd

535
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: such an amazing support system there, and it was one

536
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: of those things where you're a senior, you know every

537
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 2: single person at school, so that dynamic did not change

538
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: at all around Like the school scene, literally nothing change,

539
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: and the teachers didn't know what was going on, so

540
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: it was very normal. And that's why I'm so glad

541
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: that I was a senior when all this went out,

542
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: because I had the most normal college experience ever because

543
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 2: it was like the last half, so everyone that knew

544
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 2: me already knew me.

545
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: You would get like a.

546
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: Couple of people on campus, or like the freshman or something,

547
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: but everyone is so nice and supportive, so supportive, and

548
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: all they want to do is just say hi and

549
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: support you, and they love you, and I love them

550
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: so right, it's all love.

551
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,439

Speaker 1: right now. It's crazy. It's crazy.

556
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: Let's talk about DJ life because I feel like some people,

557
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: like people don't realize that you guys are traveling so much.

558
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: You're literally jet setting around the world. Yes, what is

559
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: the schedule?

560
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: Like?

561
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: What has your life been like? Like? How are you

562
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: adjusting to it? My life outside DJing is non existent?

563
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: Like this is it? Actually?

564
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: No, it's literally, it's literally it. I've had too. I

565
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 2: just finished literally two nights ago. I just finished up

566
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: my second sold out tour, which is basically crazy, Like

567
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: every single show was basically sold out, which is nuts.

568
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,239
Speaker 2: And it was such an amazing experience. I mean, you're

569
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: on the road every single day. So grateful that at

570
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: all times I have two people traveling with me.

571
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: That's great.

572
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: It is such a fun lifestyle because you're getting to

573
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: meet so many people. You're in a new city every night.

574
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 2: But it's a lot mentally, just being on a plane

575
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 2: every day.

576
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 3: I feel like you are such like a mentally tough person, Like,

577
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: how do you stay so mentally tough with that? Because

578
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: it is hard being out of your routine And.

579
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no routine, right, there's a chaos scene. Yeah,

580
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: it's pure chaos. I mean most of the times I'm

581
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 2: finishing up at three am. I get home by like

582
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,639

588
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,399

595
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and I mean, speaking for myself, it's a lot.

596
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: But I mean, like there's people like Steve Aoki, Dip Blow,

597
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: John Summitt, Don Dalla, They're all doing it. They're all

598
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: doing it, and they're doing it more than me, and

599
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: I see them. I feel like it's kind of this

600
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,880

604
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 2: I'm grateful for every single thing, but it's I have

605
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 2: to wake up every single morning and tell myself that,

606
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: like everything will be okay. Like I have to sleep

607

610
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: to text. I know it's super super important. I'm curious,

611
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: how did the Steve Aoki collaboration come to be. My

612
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: management team is really close with his management team, but

613
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: I I low key. I met Steve like two years

614
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: ago and we met out. I went to one of

615
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: his shows and he was like so nice and I

616
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: was like I'm a DJ and he was like so amazing.

617
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: We should connect and then our management teams are really close,

618
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: and then we were kind of like, let's do a song. Well,

619
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: it was more like me, like Steve, can we do

620
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 2: a song? And it took a while and then we

621
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: met up in the studio and then we started working

622
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: and we were like going through We're like, what type

623
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: of vibe do we want to do?

624
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: What song?

625
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: Who else do we want to have on the song?

626
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: Who's the vocalist we want to have? And we we

627
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: really brainstormed work together and then we ended up with

628
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: I'm going out so iconic.

629
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: And I feel like DJs are known for having some

630
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 3: super wild set gig experiences, right, Like there's so many

631
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 3: different venues that you guys perform at, so many like

632
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: niche kind of venues and shows. So I'm curious, like,

633
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 3: what is your wildest DJ gig experience?

634
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: Ooh, like wild, like crazy crowd or just wild, like weird,

635
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: maybe weird one of my favorite ones. And I feel

636
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: like I love just like hometown shows and something about

637
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: Ohio hit so differently.

638
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: There's this bar in at.

639
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: Miami, Ohio, like Miami University, and it's called Brick Street

640
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: and I've performed there twice and it is the most

641
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 2: packed out. There's only like one bar there, and so

642
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: it's so packed out and they don't announce that I'm

643
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 2: going on until thirty minutes that I'm going on. They

644
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 2: literally cut the music, show my face on the screen

645
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 2: and then they're like, Xandra will be on in thirty minutes,

646
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 2: and it's an uproar. It's the craziest thing. And that's

647
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: probably one of my favorite hometown shows. But I feel

648
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 2: like the craziest show overall was definitely my Lalla Bluesa

649
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: show the Tito stage.

650
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: It was I mean, that must have been surreal.

651
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I've never had a crowd be like

652
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: that before.

653
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: How do you guys get all of these like iconic videos.

654
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: Do you have like a videographer that's always with you

655
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: guys when you're Yeah.

656
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: So actually I have my amazing best friend Mia, so

657
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: she's always doing iPhone content for me and then there's

658
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: always a photographer.

659
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: Also shout out to Mia. She's the coolest person lives.

660
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: She's so cool.

661
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: Okay, So for context really quickly, since we're in Miami, Farbassel.

662
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: There was a Celsius event that we were at yesterday

663
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: and I met Mia and I was like, who is this?

664
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 3: Like nice fucking girl, She's so nice? Nicis Yeah, she

665
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: is what a good friend? Like, Yeah, I've never had.

666
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: Someone in my life that's so supportive and don't for

667
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: the right we're married, like we're the point, Like literally

668
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: she has her own apartment. I have my own apartment

669
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: and we like sleep in the same bed every night.

670
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: Like I am attached to this girl at the hip,

671
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: but I've never had someone so supportive and just a

672
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: ride or die for me and is there with me

673
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: through it all.

674
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think I'd.

675
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 2: Be where I am without her, And I don't think

676
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: I'd be able to do any of this without her.

677
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: People like don't understand. I'm like, when you have a

678
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: best friend that is like that, there's I'm like who

679
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: needs men? Like I have her and like that's all

680
00:29:59,440 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: we need.

681
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 3: She's literally an angel, Like I was so excited to

682
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: meet her yesterday because I looked at you guys, and

683
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: I was like, oh.

684
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: My gosh, she was running around yesterday and she was like,

685
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a wag, so yeah, also a little angel.

686
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah an angel, such an angel. Shout out Mia. Let's

687
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 3: talk about this. Because of the DJs that we've mentioned.

688
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 3: We've mentioned a lot of guys, I feel like there

689
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: aren't a lot of female DJs, and I think it's

690
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: so cool. You're like paving the way for female DJs

691
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways. I'm curious, like, what is

692
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: your advice for other girls out there that might want

693
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: to get into DJing.

694
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: The one thing that I will say is that you

695
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: will constantly be like, people will constantly discredit you, and

696
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: it's just gonna happen, and that's fine. I was even

697
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: you you want to know something? Literally walking up to

698
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: I was open up for yesterday two days ago, and

699
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: I was trying to get on stage. They play my

700
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: intro and I run up on stage and I come

701
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: from my green room and I was trying to get

702
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: on stage and I was bodied by security. I was like,

703
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm the DJ. They were like, no, you're not. I

704
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: was like I'm guys. I was like, my song is playing,

705
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: like I have to go.

706
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: What did you do?

707
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: Team literally how to like body the security guard and

708
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: was like she needs to go, like this is the DJ.

709
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, And they were like you're like not right now.

710
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: I'm My energy's right here, Please don't knock you down.

711
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: I was like, people are literally like my intro is

712
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: going on. I was like, I gotta get there.

713
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: So that's just something like people are gonna take one

714
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: look at you and be like no, and that's fine

715
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: and it's gonna happen. But you just have to persevere

716
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: because it makes it ten times cooler when you're able

717
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: to go out there. And I feel like people constantly

718
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: just like see girls especially, i'd say more in the

719
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: commercial space. I'm a very like commercial female DJ, which

720
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: there really aren't that many. There's a lot of like

721
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: the sickest liked, blondish Sarah Landry, like the coolest hard

722
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: techno DJ out there right now. But I feel like

723
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: in the commercial world it's very different, and honestly, I

724
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: kind of love all the haters that come out for

725
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: me because it makes me work ten times harder.

726
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's such a grind you're doing so much. What

727
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: is your pre show ritual? Like, do you have anything

728
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 3: that helps you kind of like get your energy up?

729
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: Oh, Celsius sam always always, I always on my rider.

730
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: I have nineteen forty two Celsius pineapple juice and they

731
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: have to make a meme of me.

732
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: That's like, Celsius is so real. You know, I know you.

733
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: Need I need a Celsius well because most of the

734
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: time I'm going on at like one am.

735
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: I know, it's crazy, It's nuts. Jeezus.
