Speaker 2: a fan base so that I can share my original songs. Finally.

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: I've just been keeping them so internal for so long

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: that I cannot wait to start cutting them out into

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,440

Speaker 1: what was that like for you, Mikayla.

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: It was shocking. It happened almost right out the gate

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: when I started singing. I think I just reminded her

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: of like her upbringing and where she comes from, and

40
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: she saw something in me that was just like crying

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: to get out, not out of Santa Barbara, but just

42
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: like this music that I was wanting to share, Yeah, exactly.

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Are you still teaching music?

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, absolutely. My students are so excited for me.

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: I got a bunch of videos from parents of kids

46
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: just like falling over screaming.

47
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,240

00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: that you're on ice.

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does help my reputation around town as a

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: vocal teacher.

51
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: For share. I think, you know, when anybody's starting off

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: the trying to just make a mark or be seen,

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm always inspired by the beginnings. Can you talk about

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: when you're busking on the street and what that was

55
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: like for you and the feelings you had.

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: Man, you know, we were in the parking garage because

57
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: I was too nervous to be on the street that night,

58
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: like I wanted even more separation from the performance of

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: it all. So we didn't even make any money that night.

60
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we were just doing it for the acoustics,

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: just for the sake of.

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: Your parking rights, to get good acoustics. This is TikTok

00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: that got a.

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. So we just went up there and we said,

65
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: let's try, let's try. I dreamed a Dream, which is

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 2: a song I've taught my students before, but never really

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: given it my all. And then someone happened to pass

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: by and film me doing I dreamed a dream and

69
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: then post on TikTok saying who are these two? Internet

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: find them? Then the Internet found us. It was just crazy.

71
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: It's just so amazing. And also, you know you have

72
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: great talent, and you've had that talent. It just takes

73
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: somebody believing in you, right, It just takes a door

74
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: to open, like you said, this door open and now

Speaker 2: Out one hundred percent. Yeah, it what it felt like.

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: The judges actually really saw me and said, hey, wait, wait,

78
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: what's going on here? You should be doing something with this.
