Speaker 1: you just turned eighteen in September, So what was more

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: exciting for you turning eighteen and being a real life

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: adult or signing your record deal. Well, I'm gonna say

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: signing my record deal for sure. Also, I did just

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: turn eighteen, but it doesn't feel any different, like at all,

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: So there's that. Yeah, I'm not sure that eighteen really

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: does much were you except for now you are considered

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: an adult. So what does it feel like as a

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: new artist to have your debut song in the top twenty.

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: It's so unreal. I mean, I just put out this

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: first collection of music in February and it's now November,

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: so it's all seemed to happen really fast, and it's

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I can put it in

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the right words, but it's incredible. Was he wrote the

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: song with Cameron James and Laura Veltz And so how

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: did the idea come about for the song? So there

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: had been a lot of moments in my career being

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 1: a young girl. And you know, I started doing carrits

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: in Nashville when I was fourteen, so and I started

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: doing gigs when I was eleven. So you know, picture

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: a little girl with the guitar like, well, who, I

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: have big hopes and dreams and I'm going to be

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: an artist and all of these things, and so there

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: were a lot of moments where people kind of doubted

44
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: me for that, and so I wanted to write a

45
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: song as a new artist that introduced me in a

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: really bold, fun, confident way, and we got It's because

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: I Am. Well, yeah, that's a song we're talking about.

48
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: It's because I Am, and we're gonna play it now.

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: Here's Callista Clark on Women of iHeart Country. If I

50
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: ain't watching, that's sill the fundament. I'm a woman. That's okay.

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Stand if I seem so complicated. Boy, yeah, it's because

52
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I Am. It goes. I am in studio now with

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Calista Clark and she's got her guitar, which is awesome.

54
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: Want't strummt so that every you can hear my guitar

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: And she's about to perform a cover of baby Girl

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: from Sugarland. You probably know that song came out in

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, and that's actually the same year

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: you were born. It sure is oah, So when do

59
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: you remember hearing this song for the first time? Well,

60
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: growing up my whole family, we've always been like super

61
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: huge Sugarland fans, and I believe the first song that

62
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: I ever heard by them was Stuck Like Glue, and

63
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: I immediately loved that song. But I had also heard

64
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: about Jennifer Nettles through four age. We were both in

65
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: the same full age performing arts group. It's called Clovers

66
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: and Company, and it's where all these kids from the

67
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: age of I believe thirteen through eighteen, and you know,

68
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: we all play these instruments and sing and dance. It's

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: like show choir type thing. And so I'd heard about

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: her my whole life, and I heard Baby Girl and

71
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: it was, you know, about hopes and dreams and making

72
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: it in Nashville and making as an artist. And so

73
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: obviously that's the one that's always been my favorite. And

74
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I got to sing that one with her when I

75
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: was twelve, so it's always been one that's super special.

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: And so is it your parents that got you into

77
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: country music? Yes, I grew up singing in church, so

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: that's the first place that I ever sang at. But

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: I've also been listening to eighties and nineties country since

80
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: for as long as I can remember. And I would

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: go around places and sing at really small venues with

82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: my siblings and we would do yeah, eighties and nineties

83
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: country and motown a classic rock, and I started listening

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: to the more current country the older I got, and

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: it's a really big part of me. How many siblings

86
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: do you have? I have too. So I have an

87
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: older brother and he's nineteen and a little sister and

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: she just turned fifteen, and y'all all play yes, So

89
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: y'all could just form a little family bandage. Yeah. I

90
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: always would sing around places with them and do three

91
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: part harmony and all of those kinds of things. But

92
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: the older they got, the more they were kind of like,

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: you know what, like this is you have fun with that.

94
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: But honestly, I feel like it's kind of what had

95
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: happened because growing up I was always really shy, and

96
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: so I feel like if they wouldn't have done that,

97
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would, if I would have

98
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: had the courage to do that. You know. Yeah, Well,

99
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: how about we play baby Girl right now? You want to,

100

114
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: population one thousand and seventy eight. So what's there to

115
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: do there? Nothing? Absolutely nothing. You have to go to

116
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: the city above us called Griffin to do anything like

117
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: grocery shop. There's literally nothing. And then how far after

118
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Griffin to get to Like is that where a Walmart

119
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: would be? Or okay, yes, that's where everything As we

120
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: go there a lot, so y'all probably still do the

121
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: whole I was thinking about this the other day. If

122
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: I need a cup of sugar, I just go to

123
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: the store and get a cup of sugar, like gone

124
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: or the days at least where I live where you

125
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: go to the neighbor to get a cup of sugar

126
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: and egg. But that probably still goes on. Yeah, it

127
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: definitely does. I love that. I know, it's so sweet.

128
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: So when did you learn to play the guitar? I

129
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: have been playing guitar since I was eleven. The first

130
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: instrument I learned was ukulele and I was ten, and

131
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: so yeah, I just love music and I love learning

132
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: different things. Okay, I read somewhere that you self taught

133
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: your self how to play eight different instruments. Yeah, I

134
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: believe it's a I got really bored during Quarantine, I

135
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: mean yeah, and plus there's nothing to do in your

136
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: in your hometown. But um, so what are those like

137
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: a piano? Lately? What is this list of instruments? Okay,

138
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: let's see ukulele, guitar, piano, bass, if you count electric

139
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: guitar being separate, yeah, why not? You know it's kind

140
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: of different, U six string banjo, mandolin, and then a

141
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: keytar that one you know, Like I said, Quarantine, I

142
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: feel like that's all I have to say about. What

143
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: is a keytar for those of us that don't know, So,

144
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: it's a keyboard that you play like a guitar. Okay,

145
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: hold it and that's like on your hip, it's kind

146
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: of okay, think of eighties keytar. That's what it is.

147
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm picturing it now. So which one are you best at? Mmm?

148
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: I would say acoustic guitar. That's the one I play

149
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,359
Speaker 1: the most, for sure. And when it comes to writing songs,

150
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: you wrote your first one at eleven. So what was

151
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: that called and what was it about? It was called

152
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: Wildfire and it started off as a poem for a

153
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: school poetry contest and my mom read it, and she

154
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: had been writing songs for church and things like that,

155
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: and she had been trying to get me to write songs,

156
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: but I, for some reason, was really scared to do that.

157
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: I guess because I thought since I was so young,

158
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: nobody would believe anything that I was writing about, or like,

159
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: no one would want to hear my stories anyway. And

160
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: so she read that and was like, we definitely need

161
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: to turn this into a song, and that's what we did.

162
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: I love that. And then when it came down to

163
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: you posting covers on YouTube, whose idea was that? It

164
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: was my idea. I started doing social media just to

165
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: keep in touch with my friends in different performing arts

166
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: groups like I was telling you about and things like that,

167
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: just posting, oh, here's this song, this is what stuck

168
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: in my head today. And I would just be in

169
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: my pajamas and like not even brush my hand and

170
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: just be really laid back and chill and just post

171
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: really last minute covers of things. And I guess the

172
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: one that most people would know me from is my

173
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: cover of have You Ever Seen the Rain? By Credence

174
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: Clearwater Revival. I was at the beach with my family

175
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: and my granddad said I should bring back some CCR.

176
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: It was a song that my brother used to sing

177
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: when we would play gigs and stuff, and so it

178
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: was really last minute. I'm like scrolling on my phone

179
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: in the video looking at the chords. But yeah, and

180
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: then what about TikTok? When did you decide to hop

181
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: on that? Hm? I feel like it was longer ago

182
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: than I think because of last year of being like

183
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: so strange. But let's say I think it was like

184
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: two or three years ago. Now. I love TikTok and

185
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: at first I was like, no, I'm not going to

186
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: do it because I know I'm gonna be so addicted

187
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: to it. And here we are now my friend describes

188
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: TikTok as the last happy place left online. Yeah. Yeah,

189
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: there is so much on there that can be positive.

190
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: But when it comes to comments from people online, what's

191
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: number one comment that you're most tired of hearing? Oh,

192
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: like a negative one? Yeah, or just any anything that's

193
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: referencing you that I need to gain weight? Oh that one,

194
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: that's a good one. You know what, I'm just gonna

195
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: go ahead and say here and now, and you can

196
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: agree with me, Like, we just need to stop commenting

197
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: on people's bodies, period. I think that's a good rule.

198
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, I agree, or like, yes, eat a

199
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: burger not necessary. Yeah, And for some reason, people feel

200
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: the need to comment on people's bodies no matter which

201
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: way it's swinging, they have something to say. And in general,

202
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: we just need to stop commenting about bodies period. Grew

203
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: with that rule. And it's always a burger. It's never

204
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: any other fattening food. It's always it's always that. I

205
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: don't get it. It's people's go to and just gotta stop.

206
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: I'm in studio now with Calista Clark, and she's got

207
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: her guitar and she's about to perform a cover of

208
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: the Bones by Maren Morris, which is such a good one.

209
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: So how has Maren inspired you as an artist? Maren

210
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite country singers. She's just so

211
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: powerful and I also I love women who do it all,

212
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: women who play instruments and write songs and have incredible vocals,

213
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: and she's definitely one of those women. Have you had

214
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: a chance to meet Marin yet? Not yet. I met

215
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 1: Ryan Yes, Yes, which is Marin's husband who's also a

216
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: singer song Yes, So that was cool and he knew

217
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: who I was. So maybe I'm a little closer to

218
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: Marin knowing who Yeah, No, for sure, and it's only

219
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: a matter of time before you come across her. Well,

220
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: that would be amazing. I really do love her in

221
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: her music. So if you could put together a dream tour,

222
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: like an all female country tour, like, what artists would

Speaker 1: will blode it all the while we stay put the

241
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: house off, all in the bomb. Good, so good, thank you.

242
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: So how long after you did the whole TikTok thing

243
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: YouTube whatnot that the record deal came into play? I okay,

244
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: so it's actually pretty crazy. I the way I remember

245
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: it is, I went to public school in like sixth grade,

246
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: and then I decided that I wanted to be homeschooled.

247
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: So my first year being homeschool was seventh grade. And

248
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: I started posting covers and doing things like that, and

249
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: not thinking anything of it. I don't think I fully

250
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: realized how big social media could be, and so I

251
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: was just posting really last minute, not thinking anything of it,

252
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: and I posted the have you ever seen the rain cover?

253
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: When I was thirteen, and like lit early, Scooter Braun,

254
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: my manager, and his partner Alison Kay saw it, and

255
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: then literally a week later, I was at Scooter's house.

256
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: So it was just like it all happened so fast,

257
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: and I am still processing that. It's so crazy. No,

258
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty crazy. I mean, did you ever

259
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: ask him, like when you're sitting in this house, like,

260
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: how in the world did you come across my video?

261
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: So Alison Kay is the one that saw it first,

262
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: and then she showed it to him and I don't

263
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: even know. I think somebody just tagged her in it.

264
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy how social media works. Oh my goodness. All right,

265
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: So now we're going to fast forward to the here

266
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: and now, which is cool because you're going on tour

267
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: with Maddie and Tay. It's the CMT Next Woman of

268
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: a country tour, All song, no Static, which is gonna

269
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: be cool. So how do you prepare for a tour

270
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: like that? I try not to freak out. No, but

271
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: I love Maddie and Tay so much and it's really

272
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: special that I'm getting to go out on the road

273
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: with them. I myself am just like, I'm so excited

274
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: to be on the road every night and playing my

275
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: music in front of actual people after quarantine and not

276
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: seeing people in doing zoom and all of those kinds

277
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: of things. I could not be any more excited for it.

278
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: Do you have to do something to prepare your vocals

279
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: for something like that? I mean, you're so young that

280
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, maybe you don't have to do what

281
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: some other artists have to do, But would you what's

282
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: something that's necessary before you hit the stage? I definitely

283
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: do you know, like the yoga, the staying calm, the

284
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: vocal warm ups, and then you even have to like

285
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: vocal cool down. Like there's a lot of things, say

286
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: really hydrated, all the things. You definitely have to be

287
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: on top of it because it's a lot. Do you

288
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: mentioned the yoga. Do you do you have something you

289
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: try to practice daily that helps keep you calm, especially

290
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: being so excited about a tour, or breathing exercises, all

291
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: the things you just said. Honestly, yoga. I just have

292
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: this app on my phone. It's nothing fancy, so it's

293
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: just something that I try and do as much as

294
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: I can. And also something that I've found that really

295
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: helps me is all like throw something with someone before

296
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: I go on stage. It takes my mind off of

297
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: it and it's just something I don't know, it's really relaxing. No,

298
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: it's a sensory thing. Yeah, Like my kid's therapists have

299
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: even talked about it like too, just so kind of

300
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: if there is like my son in particular, like if

301
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: there's stuff going on with him or he's not regulated,

302
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: like we can go outside and throw a ball as

303
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: hard as possible and something will reset him. That's right. Nice, Yeah,

304
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: I so hear you heard it here. If you've got

305
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: something going on, or you you have like nerves, or
