<v Speaker 1>and you're listening to Exactly Amada, a production of iHeart.

<v Speaker 1>and as usual, don't forget to give us those five stars.

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Subscribe to the podcast and our YouTube channel where you

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>could just basically see or hear all the past episodes.

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Just go to the search bar and write exactly Amada.

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>By the way, if you can tell, I am under

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the other I don't feel the best, but I am

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a profession now and no matter what this is, this

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>is basically what we're gonna be talking about today. This

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>is what it takes, no matter how you feel, no

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>matter what you're going through in your personal life. Part

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of being an artist, a celebrity, or not just that,

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>but actually making it in the industry is being able

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to put your big girl panties on no matter how

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you feel, and push through and come through every single time.

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>But because I am, you know, a little bit horse

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going through it, I wanted to have my friend,

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>my partner, my producer, Alex come in today and you know,

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>be that other half, that other half of me, that

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>other part of my voice is God I'm exhausted because

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>my girls barely let me sleep. I've been traveling so

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>much between my real estate and being here doing music videos.

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I did this amazing red carpet in the Dominican Republic

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>that took so much from me, just doing so much stuff,

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and my voice just said, you know what, I think.

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.479
<v Speaker 1>It's not just my voice. I think it's like your

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.919
<v Speaker 1>body saying you need to rest, you need to stop.

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of hard when you have so much responsibility,

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>but that's part of making it in the industry. You know,

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>people look at it and it's such a beautiful thing

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>from the outside, and it looks so much better on Instagram.

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.559
<v Speaker 1>But the truth of the matter is that not all,

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>not all survived, not all can take it, not all

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>can deal with the pressure of what it is to

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>be in the spotlight, whether you feel good or not.

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>So let's get right into it, because we have touched

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>on this topic before, and today we should, I feel like,

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>dive a little bit deeper in it. Let's talk about

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>might come up in the industry as an artist, and

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>not just the musical side, but also on TV, radio,

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in movies and everything else that I've done. I think

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>it's important to you know, not just see the ameronada

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>is on the podcast right now or Amonada on TV,

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 1>but just see the overhead of you know, the zig Zac.

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>So you have to go through to actually make it,

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the struggles to become a recognized artist, and the hoops

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>that you basically have to jump through in certain places

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and in the industry, especially as a Latina, an Afro Latina,

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and then on top of that being a woman alone,

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>it's even more pressure. I also want to share and

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>just talk a little bit about these three amazing talented women.

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>They're sisters, I mean, Alice, you know all about them. Yeah,

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>let's do this. I'd like to share the story of

0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>three amazing talented women, sisters Keisha, Fiona and fyodor La Sanchez.

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know as the Mussas who discovered their

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>love for performing as young girls. We had a chance

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to talk to them and get their come up story,

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>just as the one you're going to share with us

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>today I did. I started as a child star. I

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>started when I was four years old in a very

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 1>well known TV show called Salahie with Don Francisco. I

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>was there every Saturday for six years of my life.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Then I became a background dancer for the network, dancing

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 1>for Graham, He's all all those things. It was such

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful experience. Um, now I understand the importance of

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>value of the stages I got to perform at such

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a young age. It's, you know, such an honor. I

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>was able to perform one of the biggest icons and

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>legends of my life, which is Selia cruz Oca. I mean,

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the list goes on and on, and yeah, I started

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>very young, which, by the way, I haven't criticized a

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>lot too because people are like, um, you're trying to

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>take your daughters into the same path. You know, you're

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of like copy pasting your life onto them. What

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>about they don't want to be you know, celebrity babies.

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>What You're screwed because I'm your mother, So this is

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a you know, and later on they're like, oh, Mom,

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to be a scientist, I want to be whatever.

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>It's fine. I just feel like I am creating a

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>path for you that a lot of people wish. I

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>am creating a brand for you. I am creating a

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>financial financial stability for you at such a young age,

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and you could do whatever you want with it because Obviously,

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>being in the spotlight gives you many opportunities, but it

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>also comes with high responsibility. So at a young age,

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I remember the one thing that I do sometimes feel

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>guilty about or miss is that I miss a lot

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of my childhood. You know, I don't know how to

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 1>ride a bike, I don't how to skate. I don't

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>know how to swim, I don't I don't recall too

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 1>much playing with dolls and stuff because it was from

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>school to dance classes, acting classes, modeling classes, this audition

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 1>that I remember, this rehearse that it was just so

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 1>much pressure. It did definitely give me work ethic, you know,

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>on the professionalism side, but as a kid, you want

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to be able to be a kid. And I definitely

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>want my girls to enjoy their childhood. I still want

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you to work and make your own money, but I

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 1>want you to enjoy your childhood. So there's a lot

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>of great things that people see. There's a lot of

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>things that people don't see that happen behind scenes. And

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's what we also see the Britney Spears.

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.119
<v Speaker 1>It's justin biebers and Mighty Sires. We see so many

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>childhood stars, celebrity babies that later on just can't take

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>the pressure. It's a lot breaking into the industry. You

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>can break in when you're four, you can break in

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>when you're fifty, whether it's as an actress. Some people

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>work in a supermarket and all of a sudden there's

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>this director that comes in. It's like, your face looks

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>perfect for my movie. Have you ever acted? No Boom

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and you became you know, a well known artist or

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.479
<v Speaker 1>you know actress at fifty five. Like breaking into the

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>industry can happen at any point in your life, so

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>never give up or feel like it's too late. However,

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously breaking in was very hard because there's

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of competition. Everybody wants to be famous, everybody

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.239
<v Speaker 1>wants to be rich, everybody wants to be known. Everybody

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 1>wants but there's just so much responsibility and hard work

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 1>that comes with it, and not so much in this

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>era per se. I'm talking about like more in my time,

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>but in this era you have social media. I have

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.679
<v Speaker 1>to do is be funny, do a couple of skits

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>or videos or maybe rap, sing a song or do

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>with TikTok dance, and you have followers and you have

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>become popular. Right, They've cut out the mentalman. Social media

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>has cut out the metal man. I wanted to ask

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you about that. For you coming up and your mom

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>putting you on television like this on SAWA and becoming

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 1>your performer, what was your thought process? Did you want

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>to continue? Was something that your mom pushed on you?

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Because eventually, you know, you went on to writing music

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and becoming a musician on your own. So how was

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that transition for you? You know what, I am always

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>grateful to my mother that she believed in me, she

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 1>saw the vision as she supported me, because if it

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 1>wasn't because of her, I wouldn't be here today. I'm

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>grateful that you pushed me. You know, you can't have

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>your cake and eat it too. Sometimes you're gonna miss

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>out on things I missed out on my childhood. I

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>now someone I'm trying to relive it through my children,

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's it. You know. I don't think you can

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>have everything in life. I know we all say that,

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>but I don't necessarily think it's true. And you got

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>a family now, like that's something you know you look

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>forward to later in life, right to teach and and

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>help your kids, and you know, you're doing almost what

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>your mom did. You've learned so much because you've been

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>in the industry right that you can actually help your

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>kids and educate them later on. Were there any problems

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>along the way in the journey with managers, producers, anyone,

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>or anything that you can talk about and share with

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the world that would basically help anyone who's listening right

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>now and getting up and going into the world of entertainment.

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you have a good attorney, make sure you

0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>know in the process you learn about the industry. One

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of my biggest mistakes has always been not being that

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>person who is very business you know, savvy. Till this day,

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm honest to say, that's not my forte. I'm good

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>at being an artist and entertainer. I work on, you know,

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>perfecting my craft. That's fine, but the technical part of

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>it has never been my forte, and that is the

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>most important part. You have to be on top of

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>your own business, be on top of everything that's happening

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>in your life and your career, in your business, so

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that's important. You know, never trust someone too much,

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>and all money is not good money just because they

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>come and they bring you let's say you've never seen

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty and fifty thousand dollars put together at the same time.

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Just because they give you that, it doesn't mean that

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a good idea, because you have to see you

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 1>have to believe in yourself. You have to believe in yourself.

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 1>You have to believe in what you're capable of doing.

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.440
<v Speaker 1>And even if nobody else can see it, if you

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>can see it for yourself, within yourself, that's the most

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>important part, because just because you're here today doesn't mean

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 1>that tomorrow you'll be there if you take If you

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>take these twenty right now, you don't know if tomorrow

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you're worth two million. But you accepted the twenty at

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>an early point because you yourself didn't believe you were

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>capable of becoming bigger. So never settle, never think you know,

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>don't don't low ball yourself. That's the one thing I

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>definitely learned. All money is not good money. As disgust

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the show, it is now time

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>for a segment we like to call shining Stars. Now.

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Both are Lean and I, as producers of the show,

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>recently had the pleasure of sitting down with a talented

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>girl group Musas without further ado, here's a conversation with them.

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, ladies were so excited to talk to you.

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Please introduce yourselves. My name is Fiela and I'm nineteen

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and I am the bass player and the rapper of

0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the group. My name is Fiarella. I am seventeen, and

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.959
<v Speaker 1>I am the chanist. I am I'm Kasia, I am

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, and I'm the vocalist slash producer engineer of

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.839
<v Speaker 1>the group. Yes, I know y'all came together during the pandemic,

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 1>but was there always a love for music before you

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:24.319
<v Speaker 1>started creating it. We started singing, dancing, acting since we

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>were super young. I was trained in musical theater for

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a really long time, and I mean we've been in

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the arts since forever since we can remember. So the

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>pandemic came and we were like at home, We're like

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>what should we do? We're kind of bored, and then

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>we we came together with the group. Tell us more

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>about the name of your group. How did y'all decide

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 1>on the name Musas? So our name is Musas, and

0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>in Greek mythology, Musas is like the muses of Hercules.

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you guys have heard about it

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>or watch the movie. So we thought because they were

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>always singing and they have this really positive energy, we

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 1>thought that was like a great idea for us. But

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>we kind of went back and forth with a couple

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>of names m because we weren't sure we should use

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 1>musas And then everyone kind of just came together and

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, let's just do with us. Do you find

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:30.679
<v Speaker 1>it harder to try to keep being original? Right because

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you're in you know, you're listening and um, you know

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>you're in the world of tittok now right, everything is

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>like all these songs and everything are are back older songs,

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>like ninety songs for their old you know. So, like,

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>do you feel like a little bit harder to, um,

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>stay original to yourself or are you kind of taking

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>bits and pieces of what you've you're hearing to write

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>your music and play your music. I think it's a

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>maxture of both. I definitely think that our music, you know,

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.320
<v Speaker 1>since we like, I started writing music at a very

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>young age, so my style was already very original in itself,

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and I kind of grew on it and I like

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>matured and you know, the sounds stayed the same, but

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the lyrics matured. And the chords. Yeah, so I think,

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, we do stick to some of the music

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that we listen to now, some of the music that

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>we listened to from back then by growing up. Yeah,

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and then we, like Kasha has said, we put our

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>own twist to it. I also think that sometimes it

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>is good to appeal to the audience. It is good

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to do stuff that is mainstream, you know, but just

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>putting it. We always like to put our own twist

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in it. You just released a new single last month

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 1>called Fantasy. What is the writing process like for you all?

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the music is composed by Firella, and

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, she'll have the cores and everything ready, and

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>she's like, I have this idea and da da da

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 1>da da, y'all sing this, y'all sing this other thing,

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and she has it all here in her head. And

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's the other way around, where we write something

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and then we put it on a on a beat.

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>How do your parents feel about you know you? I mean,

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you said you start at a very young age, So

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>did they encourage you to write? Like? How did that

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 1>process begin where you guys started as such a you know,

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, nineteen and seventeen, like that's that's like dedication.

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>You're giving up a lot of your your time. You're

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>not doing the normal things that kids your age are doing,

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, and the Skeisha twenty one. You know, you guys,

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys are are doing like you guys are taking

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time and putting it into your future. Right.

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>So for me, my question is your parents, how did

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>they feel? Are they how encouraging are they? What's what's

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>happening there? Um? I think as the oldest sister, I think,

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've seen my parents process since I was born, um,

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and the way they raised us and with you know,

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>values and everything in dreams. I mean my mom she

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>through her parents, Um, she's she was actually in a

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>band when she was younger, like my age or actually younger,

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>she was like sixteen I think, yeah, And and she

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>used to play the keys, just like Farrella, and you know,

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>those dreams kind of come to an end when you

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 1>start having kids. And then she at us and I

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>think that she I don't know that word in English,

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of passed that on. Yeah, she passed that on

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>to us. Like if you guys want to you know,

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>make our If you guys want to sing y'all can

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>do anything y'all want, and the same with my dad.

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Through his family, we also have a lot of musicians,

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>So it was kind of like we kind of were

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>bound to make music because both of our both sides

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:34.479
<v Speaker 1>of the family our musicians, and they were always very supportive.

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>They were like, if you want to dance ballet, you

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>dance ballet. If you want to be an engineer, you

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 1>be an engineer. They did tell us, they were like,

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 1>if you want to do this, you could do it,

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>but take it seriously, like we will support it, but

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>we're putting you in classes. We're pretty inquired. We went

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>we were in a gospel enquire Yeah, like take it there.

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Please tell us all about this album you're working on

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>our EP, we're working on it. We have a couple

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of songs. They're really amazing. I think that Fione also

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>talked about how each of us put our own experience

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>into our music and our lyrics, and I think it's

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>going to resonate with a lot of people. We also

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>released a couple of months ago our single Patients, and

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 1>that's also about experiences. You know, we're kind of aiming

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to that audience where you know, sometimes you don't know

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>what to do, you're looking for something, and then you

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>can stumble across our music because we are like young,

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're trying to make it very relatable

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to other people, but still making it true to ourselves.

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's something that you're going well, all

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of you guys are going to be able to see

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.360

<v Speaker 1>don't let society make you feel as if you're not

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>good enough that you have to change who you are.

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't try to fit into society standards of beauty either.

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Be you being you really can make a difference. Use

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>your voice, use your platform. Never feel that your voice

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 1>is not strong enough to make a difference, because it is.

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 1>and never feel like you're too old. Never feel like

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 1>it's too late. It's never too late. While you're still alive,

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you can still make it happen. Don't overthink it. Just
