00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,840

00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: My heart still beat it talk about it. It was

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: so much fun.

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: Honestly, I've been looking forward to this one. I knew

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: it'd be so many amazing people in the crowd, and

11
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: you know, and in the year off when a really

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: high note.

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: I feel like you have described your sound as like

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: soul meets fairy tale princess. What does this mean by

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: that exactly?

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: You know, I grew up on soul, that's my roots.

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: But I think there's something so cool about being able

18
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: to twist it and bend it a little bit and

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: make it a little weird and haunting and a little eerie,

20
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: but still light and floaty, whimsical. So that's that's the world.

21
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: I like to live in love it.

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: I think whimsical needs to be the word of twenty

23
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: twenty five because mud have been living it and hearing

24
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: it so much. And I'm glad that you are now

25
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: because you've been working on your sound for a long

26
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: time and now here you are and you've made it.

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: How does it feel? And what were some of your

28
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: firsts this year?

29
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,960

Speaker 3: playing Coachella and that was something that's always been on

31
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: my bucket list. Another one was I'm from Chicago, so

32
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: playing a lot La Palooza with something I grew up

33
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,440

Speaker 3: my favorite artists play at really pivotal points in their careers.

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: So being on stage and thinking, wait, is this is

36
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 3: this that moment for me? You know? So it was.

37
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: It was really crazy this year, and like I think,

38
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to take a minute to think about all

39
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: the things that happened with family and loved ones. But

40
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,160
