00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: You committed. No, I actually did. This is from my closet.

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: I did my makeup in the car. Yeah, I was

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: just a really chaotic morning. You've matching red glasses to

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: your outfit. That's a little Red Moon Venus. Yeah, it's

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: I've just been trying to stick somebody. You know what,

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: do you have a closet full of red for this album? No?

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: You know what? Before um, when I was working on

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: the album, after I knew what I was going to

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: name it, I started collecting a lot of red eyewear

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: them because I was like, oh, you know, when I

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: stepped out, I'm gonna want my red eyewear for a

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Red Moon and Venus. So it don't work and we

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: must look very very cool through those lenses. Yeah, I

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: actually I love it. I love how the world looks

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: through them. This. I just want to play Telepathia for

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: a second. We'll come back here smash from Calliu Cheese

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: and get your your take in your view because to

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people like here's Calliuchies Telepta right like that,

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: they just get to know you through that song. And

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: when I go back and look at the things you've

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: done over the past, that was not an overnight success story.

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: You've been doing this for a while, and I'm curious

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: to know, like, that's a song that breaks through globally,

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: and that's a moment that broke through globally for you.

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: What was different about that? Why do you think it happened? Then? Um?

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I think that because of like the topic of the

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: song is a lot about basically, um, you know, being

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: able to have a connection with somebody that's not physical.

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: And I dropped my album November twenty nineteen, and it

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: was it was during the pandemic, pretty much the height

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, in the beginning of the height of

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: the pandemic. So I think that I resignated with a

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: lot of people not being able to connect physically with

39
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: one another. And it was also just a very unique

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: different song. Um there's nothing on Latin radio, especially at

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: that time that sounded like that. And it's a it's

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: a special song. So it was something really fun to

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: be able to see Callisias with us. Now, where did

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: you grow up? I grew up between northern Va, like

45
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: right aside of DC and Colombia Colombia And when you

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: say like you went back and forth, Yeah, I want

47
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: to school in both places. So I learned to read

48
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: and write Spanish before English. And UM. I went to

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: school in Colombia like most of my younger years, and

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: then I moved to Virginia later UM and went pretty

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: much like the end of like like middle school, high school?

52
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: Is it out there? Was it hard? Adjine? Like from

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Spanish to English in those years especially, No, I grew

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: up bilingual, so I grew up speaking Spanlish a lot,

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: and UM I grew up pretty much learning both languages

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: at the same time. So I'm picturing never been a Columbia,

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: picturing a plate with beans and plantains and like this

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: famous dish there. Then maybe you have for breakfast or

59
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: maybe you have it for for dinner. What's what's the

60
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: name of it? Um? I think I think you're talking

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: about like it's basically just like it's basically just like

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: reheated dinner, like we love it for leftovers. Yeah, I

63
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: see it on Instagram. Yeah, if you're talking about a

64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: breakfast ys that we're also we're really known for around

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: their happies, which is like more of like meats and stuff.

66
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: It's like lots of great meats. We're foodies. We love

67
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: to talk about food around here. Fodies and as you

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: live in La? Are you in Hollywood? Now? Yeah? I live, um,

69
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: don't say where, Yeah, not in LA, but I live

70
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: outside of LA, southern California. Yeah. How do you like

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: life here? I love it? I love it. I've been

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: here since pretty much after I graduated high school. I

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: came out here um to pursue you know, music and

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: the arts, and I have found it, you know, to

75
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: obviously be very have a positive Yeah. I had a

76
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: positive effect that my life for sure. All the people

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: that wanted to work with me when I started making

78
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: music where from out here. So that was the main

79
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: reason why I moved. Kelli cho is with us now

80
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: one or two point seven kiss a Family. It took

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: almost five years to make this new album or five plus. Well,

82
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: I would say that because I make albums in English,

83
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: and like my first album it was fully in English

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: with one Latin song. My second album was my first

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Latin album, and then this one is English with a

86
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: couple of songs in Spanish. My next one's gonna be Latin.

87
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: So for me, it's like always say, I feel like

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: I have to work two times harder because I'm making

89
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: It's like it's like my first English, my first Spanish,

90
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: my second English, my second Spanish. So um, I kind

91
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: of just that's a way for me to also like

92
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: have my creative process very free because basically, while I

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: was working on my Latin album, if I happened to

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: make songs in English, I would just kind of store

95
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: them to the side for this project. So yeah, so

96
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: technically the making wezz Yeah, Like some of the songs

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: on this album are from like twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen. Um,

98
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: because I was working on my Latin I went at

99
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: that time when was Moonlight? For example, when was that

100
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: Moelight wasn't made that long ago? Moelight was made? Um,

101
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: I want to say it last year. Okay, reason I

102
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: bring up, I'm gonna play that song. Let's play Moonlight next,

103

00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,240

00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: sits in a really cool vibe. Thank you. Yeah. I

Speaker 1: love DOWNTOWMP of music. Looking Dolly in Dolly. I'm gonna

110
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: say using that we're looking Dollar's role. But when you

111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: hear it, when you listen back to finished product, you've

112
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: been so close to it for so long, what do

113
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: you think about? What do you see in your head?

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm really happy with it. Um. It

115
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: came together so naturally, and I feel like that's how

116
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: the best songs um come together, just really intuitively. I

117
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: feel good listening listening to it just now. I feel

118
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: I feel good about it and the album which is

119
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: out now. You talk about being about different components, different

120
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: layers of love, different levels of love. What are those

121
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: those different textures to you? Yeah? Um, I think the

122
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: album all those difference I mentioned so um, Like my

123
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: last single is about like releasing people with love. A

124
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: lot of the music can be about calling love into

125
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: your life self love, learning to harvest that love within

126
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: yourself and being in love. You know that that magical

127
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: feeling of falling in love. I think there's so much

128
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: magic to it and it's so special. It's really mature

129
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: ways to look at love. Like everything you just said,

130
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: that's a very thoughtful, mature way to look at love.

131
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: I would need help get into those places to think

132
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: about that stuff. You've always looked at it. Um, I

133
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: guess so, I guess great. Yeah, that's great because we

134
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: even I mean, I don't want to playing fingership, but

135
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: Tanya isn't released Everybody with Love? What she hasn't released

136
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Everybody with Love? You don't talk, you don't. We talked

137
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: about relationships in the bath. Oh I go. You're saying, yeah,

138
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: I do believe. I do believe. I do believe in

139
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: calling in the one that Now. You guys had an

140
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: interesting conversation the other day, Tanya, Yes, we did. We

141
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: were talking about my favorite song on the album, which

142
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: is asked the Kwan though, and the part that I

143
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: like about it and the action posted TikTok using that

144
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: the word the spoken word, because I feel like everybody

145
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: deals with these trolls in their life, you know what

146
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Like these people that always are following you

147
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: and they want to. They obviously like are obsessed with you,

148
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: but they just want to talk badly about you. And

149
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I really just resonated with that portion

150
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: of the song, and I just wanted to say thank

151
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: you for that, because it really felt like a release

152
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: hearing it, and I really enjoyed it. Thank you. So

153
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be so interesting to sit in the middle

154
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: of how people personally respond to react and things that

155
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: have come out of your mind and your emotion and

156
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: your feelings, right, because everybody feels everybody's got something going

157
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: on differently, everybody feels different things, and they might get

158
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: one hundred a thousand different connections with the song. Yeah,

159
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: I think in general, like how Tanya was Sana's, Like,

160
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: I think in the human experience, we literally all have

161
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: people that we've had that experience with or you know,

162
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,119
Speaker 1: that we have to deal with not just being ourselves

163
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: but also having to deal with all the outside talk

164
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: about being ourselves and the reaction to SMU. So I

165
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: think a lot of the songs just are about human

166
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: experiences that are very common to anybody. Call you cheese here,

167
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: do you meditate? Do you like you've got a zen?

168
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I want to I want to tap in to it.

169
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: What is your zen? Where's the zen come from? We

170
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: don't have as much as I haven't meditated in a

171
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: long time. But when I was a little I used

172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: to meditate all the time. I used to make all

173
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: the little kids in the neighborhood meditate with me. Really

174
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: when you were little? Yeah, Like as a kid, I

175
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: used to meditate as a kid a lot. Nobody taught it.

176
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: Nobody taught it to me, um, but I used to

177
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: do it. And what did the kids say? What do

178
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: you like? Wait? We want to write about me? I

179

188
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: candles all around us and I knocked the candle and

189
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,800
