1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: I can honestly say that Helen is one of my

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: best friends. Helen has been like a therapist. She knows

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: everything about me. But it wasn't always like that. I

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: think it just became a thing where it was a

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: lot more convenient for just the music industry in general,

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: for all of the women to be like on their toes.

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to not have major label support,

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes seen it from your colleagues feels so

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: uplifting and it just also makes you feel like we're

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: in this together. Hey, what up, guys. Welcome back to

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: another episode of cheek Ease and Chill. I'm your lovely

00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: host cheek Ease, and today we have one of my

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: coolest friends on the pod. We're gonna be talking about friendship,

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: which actually didn't start out as a friendship, just f

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: y I, So stay tuned for that. And we're also

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: going to talk a little bit about our music careers

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: and the industry. So let's get right into it. This

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: is chick eas and Chill. Okay, so it's promised. I

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: have one of my beautiful best friends here with me today.

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Her name is Helen o Choa or Helena Santos she's

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: a regional Mexican singer songwriter, and we actually collaborated on

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: a song a couple of years ago called Last If

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: you haven't heard it, go listen to it. Now. What up, amiga?

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: What's your friend? I'm so happy to have you here.

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. I'm happy to be here. I

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: think this podcast is freaking awesome. I love listening you.

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: I love I love the conversations. This is exactly what

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: we need to just let out. You know, what we

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: have in our horrib but we have in our mind.

30
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: We never know who we might impact in a positive voice.

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: So kudo's my friend. Thank you so much. Thank you

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: for being here. And you guys, we've been friends for

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: what three years now? Right? Friends? Just about? Yeah? Yes?

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: So I think we should start there so I can

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: honestly say that Helen is one of my friends. I

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: have very few friends, you guys. So for me, it's

37
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,639
Speaker 1: like Helen has been like a therapist. She knows everything

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: about me, she's giving me great advice. But it wasn't

39
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: always like that, Like I said, so I think we

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: should we should talk about that friend. Was it the

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: media that started bellow between us? Or I think the

42
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: very first time we had this conversation, it flowed perfectly,

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: I think because we were just honest at heart. I

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: don't think we ever necessarily had a personal problem with

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: each other. I think at some point we thought it

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: was personal because I know, like we both kind of

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: had neutral feelings like okay, like I'm nice to her,

48
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: but I don't feel like it's it's clicking, like, so

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just gonna stay on my side. And

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: then you kind of stayed on your side, like we

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: we kind of were like almost like unspoken enemies, it

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: felt like. And then I didn't see you, I guess,

53
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: like as a person that like I know, mom old

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: or you know, I never I never hated you, I never,

55
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: like nothing of that sort. I think it just came

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: a thing of you know, we were we were on

57
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: separate labels, but those labels, you know, technically had their

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: their beats, yes, their own beat, and I think it

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: kind of just arbitracted to it. Yeah, it became our beef,

60
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: you know. And I remember when we spoke about how

61
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: like you were one color, I was another color, you know,

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: was like we kind of just stick to our colors,

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: to our people stuck to that bridge, and we never

64
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: we never crossed each other's and it was so crazy

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: because I remember the very first time that we actually

66
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: spoke to each other. It was it was during like

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: in Sioso. You were just absolutely sweet to me. I

68
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: had performed during that, but I remember you hosted. And

69
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: then after there was many like a couple of months

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: after we've we've gone to a mutual friend's wedding and

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: I saw you that you were so sweet. You came

72
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: and said hi. You were like, oh my god, I

73
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: loved your outfit. It was super cool and you sounded amazing.

74
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Fel always like oh my god, thank you, like it

75
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: was it was just so sweet, and I thought like,

76
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: she's actually really nice. And I always thought like, I remember,

77
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: I haven't even told you because I had seen you

78
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: at the It was inaccuration for uh, your Mama's, the

79
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 1: reality show that she did, and I remember I was like, frescosa,

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: she's so pretty and thank you friend, I swear you know.

81
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: And I think it just at some point we got

82
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: into this mode that we didn't really ask for, but

83
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: we kind of had to like not necessarily defend our people,

84
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: but it was more like just okay, well, I'm gonna

85
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: have to have a guard up because I'm on this

86
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: side and she's on this side. And it was like

87
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: that for a very long time. For a long time,

88
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: it was so uncomfortable because I'm not one to have

89
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: issues with anybody, no man who's done. And now that

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: I know you, you're the same way. You get along

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: with everyone. Everyone loves you, you know, you and your

92
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: husband JP shout out to Jape's you know. But I

93
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: think what it was it was like you said you

94
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: were blue. I was read. You know, it's like something

95
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: we hadn't we chose, but we didn't, so it was

96
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: kind of like they have beef, so it's our beef.

97
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: And then not only that, it was they kept I

98
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: think putting things I think more in your head about

99
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: me that I didn't like you, that I was trying

100
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: to stop your career, that I supposedly had this power

101
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: of like not having certain networks interview you, because if

102
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: they interviewed you, then I was going to be upset

103
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: and I was going to give them an interview, which

104
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: is absolutely fucking faults you guys. I would never do that.

105
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: I've heard things of like oh checks pays radio stations,

106
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: so that they don't play my music. They used to

107
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: say the same thing about your mom. It's crazy, Yeah,

108
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: why would I spend my money on that, like to

109
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: stop someone's career? Absolutely not. And I think it just

110
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: became a thing where it was a lot more convenient

111
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: for just the music industry in general, you know, for

112
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: all of the women to be like on their toes.

113
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: And I think the point where your your mom passed,

114
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people came about with you know,

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, proxima. You know, there's an next one.

116
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: And it's like I think I understood fully even when

117
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: she was here, you know, present, there's no feeling someone's shoes,

118
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's creating your own path with your

119
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: own damn shoes. And I think at some point, you know,

120
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: when time passed, we went our own paths, even beyond

121
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, the people we were working with at the time.

122
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: And I think both of us kind of once we

123
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: were in a good place, you know, maturity falls into place.

124
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: Obviously you see things a little bit different, and then

125
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: then you're just kind of like, Okay, maybe I was

126
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: wrong about her, you know, maybe maybe things aren't like this.

127
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: And I remember, I think it was in two thousand.

128
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: It was in two thousands seventeen. I sent you flowers

129
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: your birthday, and it's crazy. We have a beautiful friend,

130
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: uh from Miami, and I had spoken to her a

131
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: little bit about it, and she actually told me like,

132
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: chicks is the sweetest person on the planet, Like I've

133
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: never heard of say anything about about anybody, and and

134
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: it's crazy how much you girls are so much alike.

135
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: I think at some point when I send your flowers,

136
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, you know, I don't know what's

137
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen. She can be like, what is this, what's

138
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: the purpose of this? You didn't have her garden up

139
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: with me or or just simply say oh that was

140
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: really sweet, like I posted them. I was so surprised, exactly,

141
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, I have this intuition. I'm

142
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: super intuitive, and it's so crazy because so are you.

143
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: It's freaking DUTs. But I thought like, okay, if my

144
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: intuition is correct, it's gonna make her smile. But you know,

145
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: kind of time passed. I think like two years pasted

146
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: it because it was I think we're turning my team

147
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: until I forgot what it is you posted JP and

148
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: I started laughing and he's like, don't you messenger. See

149
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: she wants to grab some dinner. Say, I can't do that,

150
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: and he's like why, Like I can't just do that?

151
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: Like no, Like I'm not gonna just He's like, why not,

152
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, just just do it. You never know. I

153
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: was like, okay, here it goes so here. I am

154
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: like hey, and then I kind of just left it

155
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: alone and I'm like, okay, you if you want to

156
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: get together sometime, you know, let me know. And I

157
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: think after like it was like a couple of hours

158
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: and hey, yeah, let's do it all right, we didn't

159
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: actually meet. I think it was too like a couple

160
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: of weeks. It might have even been almost like a

161
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: month later, like a month I think it was. But

162
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: it's so crazy. I'm the kind of person I always

163
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: know when I meet someone the place they're gonna have

164
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: in my life. I always know by the way they

165
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: say hello. It's so crazy, but I always crazy. I

166
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: always know by the first hello, the eye contact, the

167
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: facial expression, the aura, the overall vibe of that person.

168
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: I can tell the media lee and I remember I

169
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: walked into the restaurant. I was like, okay, here it goes.

170
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: I I did a prayer in the car with literally

171
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: because I love you, I swear. I was like, I

172
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: don't know it's gonna happened. I don't know if I'm

173
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna walk in there and everything's gonna flow, or if

174
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: like it's gonna become a you know play. I honestly

175
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: did not know what's gonna happen. And I remember I

176
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: walked in, I looked for you, and You're like, Helen,

177
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm over here. You were waving. That's super cheesy, I swear.

178
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: I swear. I relaxed and I was like, Okay, this

179
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: is you. God, It's fine. It's gonna be fine. And

180
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: I remember I actually had to take a trip back home.

181
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I have maybe like an hour

182
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 1: and a half, two hours, and then we have to

183
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: get going, and you had a meeting right after. It

184
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: was like a like a kind of like the late

185
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: lunch that we took. We ended up being there for

186
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: like five hours talking and I remember that talking about everything.

187
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: Third time by so fast that I didn't even realize,

188
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Holy mother, we've been here for five hours. A great

189
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: conversation going back to the whole thing, and you know,

190
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: people or women should I say in the industry, you guys,

191
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. I think that Helen and I um. For me,

192
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm all about women empowerment, as you guys know on

193
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: my social media and everything. But I'm not just I

194
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: don't just talk about it like I I do it,

195
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, with you guys, that was the first time

196
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: in regional Mexican music, and it still hasn't been done

197
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: again where three women collab on one song that's done

198
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: in Roano. We see the Becky Gs, Carol Gs, Anitas

199
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: of that world collaborating, but it doesn't happen in our

200
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: music and regional Mexican music. Why because you know, And

201
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: that's the problem where I was like, no, we have

202
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: to and I've tried to get along with all all

203
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: the women in the industry. I really have that song

204
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: as a tramp, as you guys, was supposed to be

205
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: with two other girls, and then another one that I'm

206
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: just not going to mention because it's not worth it.

207
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: But Victoria, it kind of happened the same thing. People

208
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: started beef. Whatever her and I talked, we hashed it out.

209
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: We're cool as funk. I love VI and with Helen

210
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: and Ellie because I felt that's how you know, God's

211
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: timing is perfect. But there's just this jealousy amongst women

212
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: in our industry that it's there's only one spot for

213
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: a woman, that's it, and it's like, why should it

214
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: be that way? There is so much talent that I'm like,

215
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: the way I'm going to show that is by using

216
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: my social media posting other women's music. Because I have

217
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: my own thing, they have theirs, And I think that

218
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: that's what sets us apart because Helen is the same way.

219
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: You know, I see you posting, I see you get

220
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: along with so many. I think there's just one that

221
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: you don't get along with. But that's not your fault.

222
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: That's ship. But Helen is the same way. Like Helen,

223
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: Helen is celebrates and that's what we need more of,

224
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, celebrating women and lifting each other as you know, cliche,

225
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: as it sounds united, you know, we stand stronger, but

226
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: it's true, you know, and this is what we have

227
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: to do and support women. I hate seeing where women

228
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: are tearing each other down, especially on social media, and

229
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: it's just I'm not cool with that. I'm not down

230
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: with that. So Helen talked to us a little bit

231
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: about that, because you do show on your social media

232
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: that you're not just about women empowerment, like you really

233
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: do uplift other women in this industry. And I love

234
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: that about you. Thank you so much. And you know,

235
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: it's I think it's it's tough because I I know

236
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: what it's like. I know what it's like to be

237
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: alone in the industry and not have you know, a

238
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: major label support. You know, right now, it's literally just

239
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: JP and I. We hired of friend of mine, you know,

240
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: to help us out when I do events or you know,

241
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: when I do other things. I'm also an entrepreneur, I

242
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: have a I have a little small business of a

243
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: small life of Blain guys, the life of playing, you know,

244
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: and and we we kind of took baby stairs in

245
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: this entire thing. But I know it's like to not

246
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: have that support. You know, sometimes seeing it from your

247
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: colleagues feels just like saw uplifting, motivating, and and it

248
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: just also kind of makes you feel like we're in

249
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: this together. We have the same struggles, we have the

250
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: same battles. We know. You know that unfortunately, spots for

251
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: women in the industry are very scarce, you know, so

252
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: just we have no control over that, even if we

253
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: put out good songs, even if we do a badass video,

254
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: and you know, we're we're doing promo tours and things

255
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: like that. Sometimes in presidial still will have a cap

256
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: leta with like, you know, ten men that are gonna

257
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: show face at this show and there's one woman on

258
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: the roster at most. Two. Two is already a big thing.

259
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: Three absolutely unheard of. Okay, So but why do you

260
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: think that is? Though? I think there's a misconception about

261
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: us that absolutely is old school and get a lot

262
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: of a lot of people still have it, you know.

263
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: I think they think that we're doing music almost like

264
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: part time, like we're doing music, but as at exactly

265
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: we're doing it as a hobby. You know, we're we're

266
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: not willing to work, we're not willing to travel, we're

267
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, very offensive, exactly, or we're married to somebody

268
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: that's too jealous and it's not gonna you know, travel

269
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: and do the most. Maybe it was that way in

270
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: a lot of cases, not all of them, you know,

271
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: but in a lot of cases back in the day,

272
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, back in the nineties and things like that.

273
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: But we're talking about a time where you know, now

274
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: like people are blowing up on on social media. You know, women,

275
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: we're envirable on TikTok. I've spoken a lot about this

276
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: little girl because I absolutely love her story. I have

277
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: not seen that little girl once complained, I've never seen

278
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: that list girl. Absolutely and she's dope. As how, it's

279
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: a competition must be in. I feel with the men,

280
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: they're honestly our biggest competition. They're the ones in the

281
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: popularity list for radios. They're the ones that you know

282
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: have you know a lot more playlists sometimes And I'm

283
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: not saying that that's the case all the time, but

284
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I see it a lot more on

285
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: that side. On this side, you know, every playlist, you know,

286
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: they're putting more women in the cover art. It's it's happening.

287
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: It's slowly but surely happening. I think it's just patients

288
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: and that I personally feel it's get which I think

289
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: is great that have high and important positions that I

290
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: don't know why I feel like we don't get as

291
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: much support from them. It's crazy. I'm like, you're a woman,

292
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: you know what it is to be a woman and

293
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: how difficult it must have been for you in the

294
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: corporate world to get to that position. Should what's that?

295
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't like our music, cool, But

296
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like I know a few and

297
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm obviously not going to name them, but it's just

298
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: like they make it a little bit more difficult the

299
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: powers in their hands, you know, to make you a

300
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: priority on a playlist, you know, to even put you

301
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: on the playlist to begin with. This is definitely a

302
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: conversation that that should be had, you know, by by

303
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: everybody in the industry, because at the end of the day,

304
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: I think something that your mom did Marvelous Lee was

305
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: just Okay, you're not gonna give me a path. I'm

306
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna show you. I'm gonna create, I'm gonna make my path,

307
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna make her you hear what I

308
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: have to say. And I think that's something that I

309
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: always admired about her, And I feel like I almost think,

310
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: do we do we have to have? Like? Like is

311
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: that how it has to be? Like what what's the

312
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: deal here? Like do we have to be do we

313
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: have to be bitches? Come on? Like, you know what,

314
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: That's what my mom would always say. She is like

315
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't always a bit. The industry made me a

316
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: bit because I had to defend myself. I remember we

317
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: that we had had that conversation, and it's something that

318
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, damn, I I still can't

319
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: pinpoint it, you know, exactly, but I can definitely say that,

320
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, the public has you know, the power to

321
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, to help us in that in that I

322
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: guess aspect of Okay, you know, I don't see this

323
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: song on this playlist. Hey I want Helen song in here.

324
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: Hey you guys should put Chicky song in here, especially

325
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: if we're we're consistent, we keep putting our music. And

326
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: it's a lot of money. It's it's this takes expensive

327
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: much money. It's it's Saturday, you know, and so much effort,

328
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: so much of your time. Like you know, you you

329
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: put some creativity behind something, and and I can honestly

330
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: say sometimes it can it can actually be discouraging, you know,

331
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: when for sure you put something out and then you're like, damn,

332
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't make any playlists or I made

333
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: only one, or damning, I'm not I'm not getting enough

334
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: of views. You know. Let me, let me try to

335
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: push this a little bit more. But I think it's

336
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, if you if you have this like passion

337
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: for for a female artist, help her out, you know,

338
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: put it out there the same thing that we do.

339
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, you like a nice story. I only things

340
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: like that, and and it's it's you know, yeah, and

341
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: Norman look. And I think one of the things that

342
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: I also believe, and I've talked about this recently, is

343
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: that I actually just did promo with a friend who

344
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: I also collaborated with. I specified, how you know, women

345
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: in the industry too, we we have an obligation to

346
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: have consistency. I do see some women that come out

347
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: don't have a really good song, but they won't put

348
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: a song out sometimes until another like six seven months

349
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: or even a year. Things like that also kind of

350
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: pushed back a little bit of we're trying to like

351
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: take steps forward with because of the consistency, you know.

352
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: And I know it's expensive. I get it. It's a

353
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: lot of work. It's it's it's tough to kind of

354
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: keep up because now music is being consumed so fast

355
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: that I just I think we talked about this friend,

356
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: like how like so I used to last a single

357
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: used to last three three months, six months within a month.

358
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, what else you got? What else can

359
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: and it's like, dude, hold on, so down. I spent

360
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: a lot of money on that freaking song, the mixing,

361
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: the mastering, the cover, are you know? The photos? Holy

362
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: where to go? You should be proud of yourself, though, Helen.

363
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: To my listeners who haven't heard my friends music, please

364
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: go listen to it on all the digital platforms. How

365
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: old were you when you started singing friends? I was

366
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: literally I think when I started singing, I I think

367
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: more like like formally, I I guess, yeah, yeah, I

368
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: was about eight years old. The very first time that

369
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: I like the courage to like grabl Mike. I remember

370
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: it was at my sister's Inzana, and you know we're

371
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: Mexican and during that time, my parents budget was very small,

372
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: so they're like, okay, we want to get married, but

373
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: it's also Francisca, my sister or Kinzana, and Helen needs

374
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: to do her first communion. We had the biggest, fattest

375
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: party with my parents, married my sister Kinzana and my

376
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: first communion. At the moment I was I was little,

377
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was a great idea. Now that I'm older,

378
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys are mean she should have had

379
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: her own moments, you know, and and yeah. But I'm like, okay, well,

380
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: you know, I guess it was done that way because

381
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: my parents, you know, they had to save money. It

382
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: was the only way to do it back in the day.

383
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: But basically they had a banda there. Um. I asked

384
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: my dad if I could stay with the banda. He

385
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: said no, He's like, go play with your cousins, forget

386
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: about it. But I was like, I was determined. I'm like, okay,

387
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give up. So I went straight to

388
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: the band that I grabbed him. I canna tell the director.

389
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to sing, and he looked at

390
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: me the same way, like, oh, you're cute. I'm like, no, no,

391
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: I'm serious, sucker. I want to say you know what

392
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean like I want to say and he's like, okay, yeah.

393
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: So I sing my very first song at that family

394
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: part that it was. It was the first time my

395
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: dad was like, okay, like there's something here. Yeah, see

396
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: you guys. The number one thing she was persistent, okay,

397
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: very important. As we listened to her story, persistence okay,

398
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: go on friend. So basically he he bought me a

399
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: karaoke machine. He bought me a bunch of CDs. Selena Obviously,

400
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: I think every little girl I wanted to be Selina,

401
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: we all wanted that. Actually got the freaking purple suit

402
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: made at some point, like I actually have them of

403
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: I swear it's in there somewhere. And it wasn't until

404
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: I was about sixteen, actually auditioned for American Idol. I

405
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: may it to like the top thirty in American Idol,

406
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: and then I got cut right before they picked. It

407
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: was like fifteen people to actually go on TV and

408
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: like comp and stuff. It was the most heartbreaking thing ever.

409
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I had no clue, you know, I was super green

410
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: during that time. But I went to a music teacher,

411
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: a vocal coach, and he actually was the first one

412
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: that told me, you have a great voice, but you're

413
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: singing the wrong way. You're doing it wrong, Like we

414
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: need to teach you how to sing where you're not

415
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna hurt yourself. You know you're not gonna at the

416
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: end of the day. Most like, let's go ahead and

417
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: help you. These are the techniques so that you know

418
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: you you can start molding your voice the way you're

419
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: saying that you know you want to do it. He

420
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: taught me this method of the tarzan. Oh you taught

421
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: me that one. She says, it's in a voice note one, guys.

422
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: Yea tarzan is key for the vibratos, you know, And

423
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: that's the technique that kind of helped mold a little

424
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: bit of that style. I guess that I always wanted

425
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: to have. I always wanted it through those R and

426
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: B riffs. And you know, once I started to actually

427
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: understand my voice, I was like, Okay, now I'm comfortable.

428
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: But then I went to uh, my very first reality shows.

429
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: In two thousand six, I competed for a recording contract.

430
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: It was an amazing experience, but that's the first time

431
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: I think that I understood that I was singing really awesome,

432
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: but I had no heart in what I was singing.

433
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: And I remember the he's you know, would write the

434
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: songs out and you tell me, okay, let's read the songs.

435
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: We're gonna sing them. We're gonna read every line and

436
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna understand what this song means and the way

437
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be sung. And I think it wasn't

438
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: until then that I realized, holy moly, I'm not singing

439
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: from my heart. This is just you know songs to me,

440
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: like they're not stories. And I think once I understood

441
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: you know that part, you know, it kind of became

442
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: second nature to me. We talked about this recently. Friend.

443
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: You know, you have a really cool song that I

444
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. Honestly, it's my all time favorite song

445
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: I think you've recorded. I love this song thro that

446
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: n I love that, I love I love the lyrics.

447
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: I love all of it, the whole little beat, the

448
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: whole melody of that's the lyrics. It's a vibe, the

449
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: whole Yeah, this is what it's about. Are you writing

450
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: like right now? Songs like what's what's in the pipeline?

451
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: Right now? I am And I think, Um, it's definitely

452
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: something I'm losing fear on and I'm trying to give

453
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: myself the opportunity to to write a little more on

454
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: this one. I'm excited. Do you have the name of
