Speaker 2: I feel like it's definitely so different because you know,
Speaker 2: in turn it out, everyone is so welcoming, it's very hospitable.
Speaker 2: Everyone's just, you know, very friendly. And I don't really
Speaker 2: get that hair like people aren't friendly, They're very to themselves.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like stampedolfish. So I find it kind
Speaker 2: of hard to be honest. But I do love like
Speaker 2: the people that I'm working with, Like, there's so many
Speaker 2: talented people here, there's so much great opportunity. So I'm

Speaker 2: But it was actually not bad. This thing right here, yo,
Speaker 2: this is diabetes and.
Speaker 1: She's referencing the kool aid. She did not like, I'm late.
Speaker 2: I'm sweet, I can't drink it, like how are you?
Speaker 1: And this is not the sweet but that's not I
Speaker 1: gave her the low sugar version, so I had like
Speaker 1: that sweet and low flavor, but she still she was
Speaker 1: not rocking with it, so you know, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to bless her with some.
Speaker 2: This one is bad. I could drink this one like
Speaker 2: if I didn't know what it was pink and I
Speaker 2: was just I would be like, it's good, right, this one.
Speaker 2: You know, if y'all, if you like it, I.
Speaker 1: Promise you if I find out later that you randomly
Speaker 1: were craving it, you who would make my da.
Speaker 2: No, you might have really pulled me.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I'd be sucking those down. I found out
Speaker 1: about you, who's after we had this studio. I only
Speaker 1: buy the chocolate version. If you try the chocolate version,
Speaker 1: it's really good. And then I started messing with the
Speaker 1: pink version, and I was like, oh, I like both,
Speaker 1: but the if you try the chocolate I promise you
Speaker 1: you will like this drink. You will be in where
Speaker 1: are you at Florida right now? You will be at
Speaker 1: Florida and you will be like, I think I want one. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I helped you out, No, you really put me
Speaker 1: on talk to you. So before we get into an interview,
Speaker 1: I would like to know what you're going to be
Speaker 1: having me eat today as a dish you once ate
Speaker 1: when you were broke or still could possibly entertain.
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, so today for y'all, I broughd the infamous
Speaker 2: creks on cheese accompanied by booty sauce. If you're from
Speaker 2: the Caribbean, specifically Trinidad, y'all know cricks and cheese. I
Speaker 2: even see and like people come on here and they
Speaker 2: make it like all me broke me. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: if you're really broke, you all in have all that ingredients,
Speaker 2: Like you also have oileve ingredients to be making gold baby.
Speaker 1: Exactly. If you broke, you have cheese.
Speaker 2: You have crioks. That's your meal. That's all you have.
Speaker 2: So this is a staple in the Caribbean community. If
Speaker 2: you have not to any fridge, your mother don't want
Speaker 2: to cook, you just want to eat something this way
Speaker 2: you eat the.
Speaker 1: Cheese and it's basically cheese and crackers, because she went
Speaker 1: shopping all around looking for it and she could not
Speaker 1: find this authentic version. So this is a dish I love. Okay,
Speaker 1: I eat this on a Rando day, and you're right
Speaker 1: when I don't feel like cooking.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's so easy.
Speaker 1: You don't have to do much easy Sometimes secretly, if
Speaker 1: you knew me, like behind camera, whenever a guest gives
Speaker 1: me a dish with like thirty ingredients, I do all
Speaker 1: the shit talking. I'm like, this, bullshit, this is prorid
Speaker 1: exactly I have, especially if they're specific on like certain
Speaker 1: ingredients like labels, I'm like, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. What is
Speaker 1: it still forty dollars?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I will say though as a credit to some of
Speaker 1: the guests, they definitely could like stretch those ingredients out
Speaker 1: to feed a lot more. But I am relieved that
Speaker 1: you chose a dish that really everyone at home could afford.
Speaker 1: So go ahead, slice of the cheese, hug me up.
Speaker 1: And then you did add this.
Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, this this is the essential, the Caribbean essential
Speaker 2: es pepper sauce, the best pepper social I put this
Speaker 2: on everything. I have a keychain. My best friend she

Speaker 2: like I was doing sciences. I had no choice, like
Speaker 2: I have to do sciences, Like, well, you have to
Speaker 2: be you have to do And I kind of was
Speaker 2: fully in it until like when I started doing university.
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know if I really want to,
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to do this, Like this is
Speaker 2: not for me. And I told like my dad.
Speaker 1: And did you tell him over the phone?
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I told him. I told him in person.
Speaker 2: He was kind of just like we're uh, one on one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he wasn't trying to he wasn't trying to hear it.
Speaker 1: You had a lot of faith in yourself and him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was safe.
Speaker 1: Hey, dad, I don't want to be a doctor, surprise,
Speaker 1: but I want to be a singer.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He literally was like girls, shut the hell up.
Speaker 2: But though he literally was like I don't know about this,
Speaker 2: like because I mean, why would you know your crimean parents,
Speaker 2: It's not it's not something that happens every day. So
Speaker 2: I basically ended up during COVID. My dad ended up
Speaker 2: going to Florida, Like he got stuck in Florida during COVID,
Speaker 2: so he was there. I was kind of stuck in
Speaker 2: Trinidad buy like me and my brother alone, like the
Speaker 2: house alone. He was kind of just day by Ason.
Speaker 1: Where's her mom?
Speaker 2: She was like she was in Trinidad, but we didn't
Speaker 2: really like see her as much. We were kind of
Speaker 2: in like where my dad stayed. So me and my
Speaker 2: brother were there and like we had to like find
Speaker 2: ways to like you know, pay for like you know,
Speaker 2: the light, build different stuff. So I ended up like
Speaker 2: really like posting a lot on Instagram. I would just
Speaker 2: post like pictures, a bunch of things. And then I
Speaker 2: got reached out to by this really like the biggest
Speaker 2: artist in Trinida, Marshall Montana, and they were like what
Speaker 2: they want me to be in a video and I
Speaker 2: had never like done a music video before, but I
Speaker 2: was like, you know, it's my Montana. I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2: And I was like, you knowly background, I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell him I want to do music and
Speaker 2: I want to see, like if you would listen, you know,
Speaker 2: tell me if it's even with my time. So I
Speaker 2: go there and me and Marshall, you know, be very
Speaker 2: He's very nice. He's very friendly, and I tell him, like,
Speaker 2: I really want to do music, like would you listen
Speaker 2: to some stuff that I did, and you tell me
Speaker 2: if it's something I should like do even try and pursue.
Speaker 2: And he's like, send it to me and I'll let
Speaker 2: you know. Mind you. At the time, I had no phone,
Speaker 2: Like my phone had broke right before COVID started. I'm like,
Speaker 2: who could afford to buy your phone in COVID. So
Speaker 2: the entirety of COVID, all I had was a iPad.
Speaker 2: The only way you could contact me was Instagram. I
Speaker 2: had no phone. I had nothing like, couldn't go and
Speaker 2: make no kind of content. I had no phone, nothing like.
Speaker 2: It was. It was a lot.
Speaker 1: So I sent your dad is.
Speaker 2: All the way to Florida. Yeah, it's literally just like
Speaker 2: me and my brother. So I send him, I send
Speaker 2: him these songs and I just sent him from my
Speaker 2: mom's phone, like I had to go to her house
Speaker 2: get to send it from her phone and like wait
Speaker 2: to hear feedback. And so he finally calls my mom's
Speaker 2: phone and like I have to like tady from her
Speaker 2: and be like okay, yeah, what do you think? And
Speaker 2: he like takes a week. So I already felt like
Speaker 2: he forgot about me. I was like, you don't even

Speaker 2: He's like I listened to your music. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: you have an amazing voice, like this is this is incredible.
Speaker 2: You actually have an opportunity to, you know, leave Trinidad
Speaker 2: and do something bigger than this. You need to leave,
Speaker 2: need to pursue your craft, like you just need to
Speaker 2: work on yourself and you could go so far. I'm
Speaker 2: here not from him, Like I was shocked, you know,

Speaker 2: working with them for like a year now, and that's
Speaker 2: oh man, well.
Speaker 1: They I saw I to Shan. I was doing some

Speaker 2: Any of this. He's like, why does the lady ignored me?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that camp is really loyal, like really loyal.
Speaker 1: Like once you're cool with them, you're good for life.
Speaker 2: It's so true. They really are. They really are.
Speaker 1: So what are some of the like downfalls that you've
Speaker 1: hit so far in the industry.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I've had that many downfalls in the industry.
Speaker 2: I feel like they major downfalls. I I was just
Speaker 2: even getting here to begin my journey, like being stuck
Speaker 2: in COVID, having no phone, like having to do all
Speaker 2: these like random side jobs because like everything was closing COVID.
Speaker 2: You couldn't get a job. It was like really hard
Speaker 2: to Like.
Speaker 1: How old were you at that time? Like I was
Speaker 1: not trying to age you, but he's like really nineteen, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So I was like I was like, what the heck?
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to do. So I was just stressed.
Speaker 2: So like because my dad is away, it's just us,
Speaker 2: Like he was really like he wasn't talking to us,
Speaker 2: like we was just usday and we were like we
Speaker 2: are like children, like what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 2: And so that was really stressful, like we were struggling.
Speaker 2: This was all me, like we have none to eat.
Speaker 2: This is all like this was like we had when
Speaker 2: you have no buddy, because like you are like like
Speaker 2: this what we were eating. So that's kind of how
Speaker 2: it was really hard. Like I didn't have a phone
Speaker 2: until I go to America. I was so happy I
Speaker 2: got this one. I was like, I have a phone,
Speaker 2: like you know, excited, and I was also happy to
Speaker 2: have my little phone, Like it was really great, Like
Speaker 2: that whole process of just getting here, like applying for
Speaker 2: a visa all of that, like so you.
Speaker 1: Guys have to have to do a work visa and
Speaker 1: all that. Now does the whole Trump thing scare you
Speaker 1: at all?
Speaker 2: Just? Yeah, I literally had a night man I got
Speaker 2: the pot, Like really, yes, it's so scary. I hope
Speaker 2: that nothing, you know, I don't hope nothing changes and
Speaker 2: the realm of what I have to do, but it's
Speaker 2: very scary.
Speaker 1: My mom is jamaking, as you know, and she didn't
Speaker 1: get her citizenship till last year. I was like, Mom
Speaker 1: and dad, what have you been doing for thirty years?
Speaker 1: And you didn't fill out this family word the whole time?
Speaker 1: But they do make it like if you have like
Speaker 1: my mom, they had found some kind of like she
Speaker 1: did something and got her in trouble or something. They
Speaker 1: trying to track it from when she was like twenty
Speaker 1: or something, and Eric Chryna, she was like, I don't
Speaker 1: even think that's me, and they were trying to hold
Speaker 1: up her whole everything for that. So they can be
Speaker 1: a little weird, you know. So but that's not gonna
Speaker 1: happen to you all.
Speaker 2: Let's pray. Let's say pray because I really don't want that.
Speaker 2: That's what works.
Speaker 1: So you're fine. So then, like, what who else have
Speaker 1: you worked with so far? Outside of Neon?
Speaker 2: You know, Stargate. I had a session with them. We
Speaker 2: did a really cool song. I did two songs with them,
Speaker 2: and they really loved it. They have a school, I
Speaker 2: don't know. They have a school hair called Lamp where
Speaker 2: they only accept like fifty people and they basically like
Speaker 2: it's either for artists, writers or producers, and they just
Speaker 2: like it's an intensive, like nine month course where they
Speaker 2: have to like make songs every week. And they love
Speaker 2: my songs so much. They brought all of like their
Speaker 2: students in I'm like made them do gang vocals on
Speaker 2: the course and my song, I was like, that's.
Speaker 1: So sweet, like I first, So it's like a natural
Speaker 1: fit for you. Now, does the songwriting prices process feel
Speaker 1: easier to you?
Speaker 2: I feel like it is easier. I definitely have like
Speaker 2: my own way of writing, Like I don't like I
Speaker 2: don't like when it's a bunch of people in a room,
Speaker 2: like I feel like flustered. I kind of need to
Speaker 2: like collect my thoughts, like I'm very I need like quiet.
Speaker 2: I can't function like a noise. So I do say
Speaker 2: like I still need that kind of to myself because
Speaker 2: I have like songwriters to friends, like they'll be like
Speaker 2: everyone is screaming around and be like no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: I'm like, how the hell can you all even like
Speaker 2: think when I can't. I can't do it.
Speaker 1: So I can't even write, Like if you were to
Speaker 1: talk to me while I'm texting, I would be like
Speaker 1: retexting everything. Yeah you know what I'm saying. I like,
Speaker 1: I can't multitask.
Speaker 2: It's really hard.
Speaker 1: So but when they do do songwriting sessions, they do
Speaker 1: have like groups of people do it usually.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like always like one person or two,
Speaker 2: Like they'll just bring people just to like help understand
Speaker 2: because it's what I want, you know, is just to
Speaker 2: help see if they can help me, you know, like
Speaker 2: get to what I want to do quickly. But it's
Speaker 2: really cool. I've worked with some really nice people in
Speaker 2: La so far.
Speaker 1: And how long are you in LA for?
Speaker 2: I'm here till second. I've been here for a month.
Speaker 2: It'll be a month in the second.
Speaker 1: Oh I got just in time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you would have left. Yeah I was. I
Speaker 2: leave only second. But I've been here for a whole
Speaker 2: month and you like it. Yeah, Well, I didn't really
Speaker 2: get to do anything like fun. It's probably like the
Speaker 2: most fun I've had since I've hit really because I
Speaker 2: don't get to go. All I'm doing is like doing
Speaker 2: week stuff, so I haven't got to expool and nothing
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of some cool stuff stuff you
Speaker 1: can do. I like to do creative stuff too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I have a three year old, so I live
Speaker 1: like a kid again. I love that sounds a little crazy,
Speaker 1: but i'd be like, what fun. They got the largest
Speaker 1: bounce house out here, the largest. I'm with it.
Speaker 2: I love that. I don't know why, like we somehow
Speaker 2: made it up. Taking where all the people all the
Speaker 2: people can't like do kid like yes, Like I want
Speaker 2: my bady to have a bouone sea house. I want
Speaker 2: to have goodie bogs and with my snocks when I leave, Like,
Speaker 2: why we can't have that?
Speaker 1: I feel like we should have that though, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like once I had a kid, I got an
Speaker 1: excuse to do it because I promised you I'll be
Speaker 1: I'll be that parent that look up all the cool
Speaker 1: stuff and I'm like, yo, let's go do this and
Speaker 1: then some of the cool places, Like I'm really into VR.
Speaker 2: I don't. I've never tried it. Never.
Speaker 1: Yeah, girl, I'm gonna send you some links. But there's
Speaker 1: there's like places you can go where it's like all
Speaker 1: virtual reality and you put on the headsets and you're
Speaker 1: all in this world.
Speaker 2: That's not scary. I'll be like, well I love it.
Speaker 1: No you won't. No, you won't, No, you won't. If
Speaker 1: you could eat pepper sauce. I forgot it was pepper
Speaker 1: sauce for a second and I put it on while
Speaker 1: you were talking. I was like, I keep going back
Speaker 1: to it because like my mouth it clears, like the
Speaker 1: pepper feeling clears, and then I'm like, oh, it's not
Speaker 1: that bad, and then I go in for more and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, it's still bad. But every time
Speaker 1: the pepper goes away, maybe my mouth is healing from
Speaker 1: the bands.
Speaker 2: It's good. I feel like you'll have a love hate relationship. Yes,
Speaker 2: we love it.
Speaker 1: You know, I wish you and kool Aid had a
Speaker 1: love hate relationship.
Speaker 2: Okay, we went with you, you know we baby steps baby steps.
Speaker 1: So are their producers and artists that you want to
Speaker 1: work with?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like I love I love you know, like
Speaker 2: career music. I've always loved Russian and I feel like
Speaker 2: he's super talented and London only track. I always wanted
Speaker 2: to work with him. There's so many I feel like
Speaker 2: I assume you don't even ask him on something and
Speaker 2: you know the answer as soon as you get asked.
Speaker 1: You Like, that's how I feel when people ask me,
Speaker 1: like who who's been on the eating will broke?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, oh hell no, yeah.
Speaker 1: I should know the answer, but I can't say now
Speaker 1: one name. I'll be like that question.
Speaker 2: But a lot of people I wanted to I've had
Speaker 2: the chance to work with. But those are people that
Speaker 2: can think of off the top of my head. But
Speaker 2: there's so much more, like there's so many talented people.
Speaker 2: A lot of people in the UK. Two they're so talented,
Speaker 2: the autist only producers it, I feel like.
Speaker 1: And you've been to the UK too.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So now since your career is still fairly new, let's
Speaker 1: go back to home life in Trinidad, Like, tell me
Speaker 1: more about that and what led you into music.
Speaker 2: Well, my mom when she was younger, she was in
Speaker 2: a bond, so she would always like do music, Like
Speaker 2: it was always like in the house. And I feel
Speaker 2: like you just growing up to your creame, you had
Speaker 2: a lot of different types of music because there's so
Speaker 2: much culture, there's so many different backgrounds. You hear all
Speaker 2: kinds of music. So I always just felt connected to it.
Speaker 2: In school from like your from the age of four,
Speaker 2: in like primary school in Trinidad, like you have to
Speaker 2: be playing pand like you can't even reach the pond
Speaker 2: and they have you in school like playing pand like
Speaker 2: you it's always just embedded in the culture, like we
Speaker 2: always like learning about music. So that's kind of how
Speaker 2: I would say, how did your mom take it? She's supportive.
Speaker 2: Now I feel like everyone is a lot more supportive
Speaker 2: now from jump. It was kind of like, you know,
Speaker 2: a little I'm not a little shaky, but now she
Speaker 2: definitely is more supportive. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then with your mom and dad, they're separated obviously,
Speaker 1: how did it come out where you end up living
Speaker 1: with your dad and not your mom.
Speaker 2: Well, because she lives in Trinidad still and he is
Speaker 2: still in Florida.
Speaker 1: So but you said during COVID, like your brother and
Speaker 1: you were by yourselves and your mom was somewhere else,
Speaker 1: So how did that happen?
Speaker 2: That was the whole was the whole situation that would
Speaker 2: but like we were just there for the while and
Speaker 2: then until like I would we would go there to
Speaker 2: like to a home from time to time, but she
Speaker 2: only had two bedrooms, so that we both couldn't go.
Speaker 2: We wouldn't want to like leave one of like we
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to abandon one another, so we just rode it,
Speaker 2: you know, like stay together and stead of you know,
Speaker 2: just leaving one to go because it felt unfait, you know,
Speaker 2: So that's kind of what we have to do.
Speaker 1: And then but when your dad was in the state
Speaker 1: in Trinidad, you guys would just rotate. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: So and then are your parents close? Are they cool
Speaker 1: or they not talk?
Speaker 2: They definitely have an interesting relationship.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's definitely interesting.
Speaker 2: I would say, yeah.
Speaker 1: So what is your music about?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: It's really I'm really your love of good my love
Speaker 2: a gool fez. It's always about music in some way,
Speaker 2: love music yet so loving.
Speaker 1: So I was like, damn, she must really love music,
Speaker 1: just just writing songs about how she loved music.
Speaker 2: I'm screwing.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know, love, heartbreak, you know, just things

Speaker 1: Why because you can walk outside and they just fighting
Speaker 1: each other?

Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't be looking for me. Sometimes I
Speaker 2: would look see like you say, bumble, like I would look,

Speaker 1: would be like, look, it's there's no exception to every rule. Okay,
Speaker 1: And Michael be as long as he sounds like how

Speaker 1: best friends in New York, right, and they never really
Speaker 1: met each other because I went to two different high schools.
Speaker 1: And then I one day one bought a house and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, we got to go celebrate, and
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, let me bring the other one.
Speaker 1: And now but I I say, I don't know why
Speaker 1: I did this. Didn't do this years ago because I
Speaker 1: don't believe in cross connect contaminating friends. But now I
Speaker 1: just go in a group chat, Hey, guys are coming
Speaker 1: to New York with and they all interact they all friends,
Speaker 1: and I'm like.
Speaker 2: That's great. I love that I did this for years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always split my time. But now but that's
Speaker 1: that's the once in a blue moment that doesn't always.
Speaker 2: I want to like she met so when she came
Speaker 2: to she met some of my friends. I just don't
Speaker 2: know if she will class at all them. She's a
Speaker 2: very you know, distincts like she will blend with like everybody.

Speaker 1: Yeah, there are people that I like them. My twins
Speaker 1: kind of like that where she like, this is my friend.
Speaker 2: I like that too, Like I'm not like that.
Speaker 1: I'm not like that. I am not like that. I
Speaker 1: have best friends in New York and y'all all know
Speaker 1: who you are, but I have no problem sharing you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My thing is like if you just like like
Speaker 2: I'm not with her, but like in general, like if
Speaker 2: you have a friend group but it's like you feel
Speaker 2: like really left, and I'll be like, well, why you
Speaker 2: might not be included, you know, especially if you could
Speaker 2: be that's the only situation, but that's never happened, but
Speaker 2: like that's the only thing I could think of it.
Speaker 2: It's like I will feel the type of way I
Speaker 2: got to tell you this story. Let me hear it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I took this girl from LA to New York.
Speaker 2: I'm already not loving this.
Speaker 1: Oh it in bad. Yeah, So I took the girls
Speaker 1: in New York. And I'm kind of a square bear,
Speaker 1: Like I don't really I don't like going to the club.
Speaker 1: I don't like drinks. I'm not a drinker, even though
Speaker 1: your song two shots works for me because two drinks
Speaker 1: is my absolute max exactly. Does only need like the
Speaker 1: second drink, You're I'm pretty much done, okay, but the
Speaker 1: first I'm feeling it, but secondary I could be done.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so this girl she meets my girlfriends and she
Speaker 1: thinks they're super cool. Right, but then I became the
Speaker 1: uncool person. Do you know this girl ended our friendship?
Speaker 1: I hope she doesn't see this friendship and wanted to
Speaker 1: be friends with my friends, and my friends still clown
Speaker 1: me to this day about it. They'd be like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna bite such as us like y'all, but they
Speaker 1: clown me because they know it's fucked up. But they
Speaker 1: she thought they were cooler than me, and I felt
Speaker 1: some type of way because I was like, Damn, I
Speaker 1: brought you home. That's like if you I go to
Speaker 1: Trinidad with you, like your friends are cooler than you,
Speaker 1: you'd be like, damn I brought you. Could you imagine that?
Speaker 1: Feeling like you brought me home? Yeah, then I like
Speaker 1: your friends more than you.
Speaker 2: That it hurts me.
Speaker 1: I felt like, damn, I shouldn't show you. It actually
Speaker 1: made me feel like if you someone gets to know
Speaker 1: you and then they don't really.
Speaker 2: Like you, that's like it's so messed up.
Speaker 1: It was hard, but I know it was because I
Speaker 1: wasn't like a partying type, and she saw that I
Speaker 1: was really who I am because she knew. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she ended up like my friends more than me. And
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm never ever taking a girl back
Speaker 1: home with me. No, that's I would never I f
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I want to go to New York
Speaker 1: and be like no.
Speaker 2: No, see, like I feel like to me, I've had
Speaker 2: something like that happened to me too, but not like
Speaker 2: point where they thought they were cooler to me because
Speaker 2: like no, they say it, but they showed it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't have that. It was more so like that
Speaker 2: they wanted to be me like I had it, where
Speaker 2: like they'll be on my friends and they would like
Speaker 2: spread lives about me to try and get people to
Speaker 2: tune against me, and then they would just start acting
Speaker 2: like yeah I've had that happened like twice.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 2: It's very hard. I feel like it's super hard to
Speaker 2: make friends as a girl, like when you're pretty, Like
Speaker 2: it's hard.
Speaker 1: Well, me and my twin have this thing where like
Speaker 1: if you're pretty, then we have to be friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because like pretty people have to stick together exactly terrible.
Speaker 1: But now we're like, oh girl, are you beautiful? What's
Speaker 1: that not matter? Let's be friends.
Speaker 2: See that's what I need. Like my best friend is
Speaker 2: like because she's beautiful too, it's like you just jealous,
Speaker 2: Like why are you jealous? We can both be beautiful
Speaker 2: it's not a competition, you know. I don't get that.
Speaker 1: Because I feel like, hopefully you'll see more that in La.
Speaker 1: But you know, are you gonna plan to move to
Speaker 1: La because Miami is kind of a tricky spot for music.
Speaker 1: I would imagine.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely open to moving. It's just like, my father's
Speaker 2: in Florida, and like I'm very close to like my family,
Speaker 2: so it's like, dom, I don't want to be so
Speaker 2: far away from them.
Speaker 1: And what's your dad doing in Florida?
Speaker 2: He just does, Like here's a few businesses there, so
Speaker 2: he just the team. He would he would, but it's.
Speaker 1: Just like and your brother's still in Trinidad.
Speaker 2: No, he's in Florida too. No, he came tell the
Speaker 2: whole team.
Speaker 1: To move to La. I'll be honest. It's not that great,
Speaker 1: but you know for music, yeah, he was.
Speaker 2: We were talking about it yesterday. Definitely, like in talks
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Florida's cool, but it's not.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of more people coming there from music,
Speaker 2: like as of recent but it's not the same, you know,
Speaker 2: it's not.
Speaker 1: No, but all right, well, how are you gonna do
Speaker 1: a little home for us?
Speaker 3: And no?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sing it not really Yeah, just see the
Speaker 1: single too nosey for. I did a test with Neoh
Speaker 1: and Neo was like, let's see if you're tone deaf.
Speaker 2: Oh god, all.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm gonna tell you a little backstory about this episode. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I was secretly sick, but I it was during COVID,
Speaker 1: and you know when you're sick during COVID, everybody assumes
Speaker 1: you have COVID, and they gave me a date to
Speaker 1: shoot a NEO. Now, if you have common sense, you
Speaker 1: are not going to be like I have COVID, can
Speaker 1: we reschedule? Or I'm sick? Can we reschedule? So if
Speaker 1: Shawn never sees this, I was sucking on high methol
Speaker 1: cough drops during that whole taping. I'm not to sniffle.
Speaker 1: And then Neil was like, let's see if you're tone deaf.
Speaker 1: Bro I was sick. Okay, I was sick, sick.
Speaker 2: I mean, I need to see this.
Speaker 1: I'm like the whole time I was thinking about my
Speaker 1: like sickness, like trying to hide this sickness. I kept
Speaker 1: telling them like, oh, I think I have allergies. Because
Speaker 1: we recorded in his studio over there, like we flew
Speaker 1: in over there and his smoke alarm was going off
Speaker 1: the whole time. To this day, like people hate that
Speaker 1: episode because there's like a baby oh yeah, But the
Speaker 1: truth is I was more concerned about them finding out
Speaker 1: that I was sick. So he did do a test
Speaker 1: on whether I was tone deaf.
Speaker 2: How did you do?
Speaker 1: I was tone deaf? But I don't think it was
Speaker 1: a fair test because I was technically sick and I
Speaker 1: was trying so not to blow my cover. But just
Speaker 1: so you know, no one in the camp knows that
Speaker 1: I was secretly sick.
Speaker 2: So you had COOVID for sure.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't have COVID. I was just really sick.
Speaker 1: But you know, during that time, they you know, people
Speaker 1: was paranoid. So like gonna fly to Atlanta and be
Speaker 1: like even though I heard Atlanta was living in the
Speaker 1: streets the whole time. Really yeah, La was locked down.
Speaker 1: But yeah that's the true story. But yes, I am
Speaker 1: tone deaf, So no, I cannot sing.
