That's weird, right, but I do. 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on vacation in a weird way, 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: but I'm actually there to work, but I get to 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: relax more. I don't know, I feel like it's more 27 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: me time. And now regarding my album recording it, I'm done, 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: officially done recording the album, but I want to say 29 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: that this one was I think the toughest to finish. 30 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: The studio to me, is a very personal place. No, 31 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: Like I like to be kind of by myself. I like, 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: you know, the lights to be dammed. I like candles 33 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: to be lit. I drink a little bit of tea 34 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: for a long time, you guys, going to the studio 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: was like a drag because you can hear every single 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: mistake when you're in the studio. So it's like I 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: felt very intimidated, for the lack of a better word, 38 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: like I just felt like, oh my gosh, Like I 39 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: almost preferred singing live than in the studio because like 40 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: literally it's just you feel closed in and with time 41 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: and with experience now I've learned to love the studio. 42 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: I just feel like it's me time. It's me and 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: the mic, and I get to express myself and I 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: get to release tension. And yes, it's a little stressful 45 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: because I'm a perfectionist and I want everything to come 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: out right. I'll do take after take after take until 47 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: I get it exactly how I want it. But it 48 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: helps me release. I forget about everything in the world 49 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: and I just focus on that track that I'm recording. 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: And I'm not one to like sit there and finish 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: my record in two weeks. Like there are people that say, Okay, 52 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: I got my songs, I'm gonna go in there, and 53 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna like record my album, my entire album, 54 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: in two weeks. I can't do that. I'm more of like, 55 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: I have the song, I'm gonna go in there. I 56 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: live with the song, and that's why it's taken me 57 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: on a most two years to finish Arena. So anyways, 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: let's go back to the tour because I just got 59 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: back from my second date, which was in Dallas. The 60 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: first one was in Paula Casino and it was sold out. 61 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: So we started off with the Right Foot you guys, 62 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: Polo Casino, everyone that was there, thank you so much. 63 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: It was a sold out show and Dallas was too, 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: So that's exciting. And now we're going to be going 65 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: I have one in Northern California and then I'm going 66 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: to be going to Mexico with the tour. The album 67 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: comes out May twelfth. A salle Ela, it was I'm 68 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: gonna be in Mexico Aciendo is the La Hire de 69 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: p So I'm really excited. I'm gonna be in Opaso too. 70 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: So the tour, the dates are going well, mister Bull. 71 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: My manager keeps adding dates and I'm like, I'm gonna 72 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: tell you, it's crazy because before every show, I'm very, 73 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: very nervous, Like I get so nervous, and then when 74 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: I get up there, I'm like, oh, okay, cool. So 75 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: in Elai, like I'm just like I know how to 76 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: do this, like what am I tripping off of? But 77 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: I get so nervous. And I feel like it's good 78 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: to be nervous though, because that means that you're passionate 79 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: about what you're doing. And I don't know, but it 80 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: is tiring, especially because I want to give my very best, 81 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: especially with this tour because the set list took me 82 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: four hours to put together, you guys, four hours on 83 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: a Sunday. I need to like envision the song. I 84 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: need to like listen to the songs back to back 85 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: to see if the flow goes well because I want 86 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: people to obviously start on a high note and then 87 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: bring them down. And you know, I sing love songs 88 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: and then songs to my mom and I cry a 89 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: little bit. Sometimes sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. These 90 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: last two shows I have, I've cried and then I 91 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: bring them back up. So it's like for me, it's 92 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: like what do I want to see as a fan. 93 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: That's why it's so important, Like how I want the 94 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: intro to look, what I want to say in the 95 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: intro before I go on stage the first song I 96 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: want to sing, removing certain songs that don't go with 97 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: the flow, you know what I mean. And it's hard 98 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: because a lot of OG fans want to hear songs 99 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: from my first album, but now this is called the 100 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: abbe Herena tour, so I have to out of the 101 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: songs that make sense with the story I'm trying to tell, 102 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: because that's what I'm doing with this show. I'm telling 103 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: a story, I'm bringing you on the abber Herena experience. 104 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: So it can be stressful, it can be very tiring. 105 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: It's late nights, you guys. But it's worth it. It's been 106 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: worth it because that love that I get from the 107 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: people that go see me, it still blows my mind. 108 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: It blows my mind to know that people took the 109 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: time out of their day, out of their night. They 110 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: could be anywhere else in the world and they decided 111 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: to buy a ticket to a cheeky show. And I 112 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: just feel like this responsibility in a good way to 113 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: give my best to make sure that that hour and 114 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: a half, that hour and forty five minutes that you're 115 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: with me and listening to me, that you're enjoying every 116 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: single part of my show, even if something goes wrong, 117 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: because especially on the first show, shit went wrong with monitors, 118 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: with the DJ, like certain songs that didn't come in when 119 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: they were supposed to, and things that I see but 120 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: maybe even the audience hasn't notice, but I notice it 121 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: and it bothers me. But even that, I'm very like, 122 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: I go with the flow. I'm just like, you know 123 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: what it is, what it is, It's the first show, 124 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: I tell the audience I'm very open, but because i 125 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: want them to know that it's important to me that 126 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: the money that you're investing in my show, I want 127 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: it to be completely worth it. So for me, it's like, 128 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: I take that shit serious. I take it so serious 129 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: because it still blows my mind. I'm just like, Wow, 130 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: all these people are here for me, Like when you 131 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: guys are singing, you know the songs, those of you 132 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: that have been with me on tour or have been 133 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: with me to one of the shows. Like sometimes I'm like, 134 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: oh my god, Like I want to sit there and 135 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: just cry like a little baby. Like I'm just like, 136 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, these people love me. It just feels 137 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: so beautiful. But then I'm like, no, you gotta be 138 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: a bad bitch. You gotta be a bad bitch. Ah, 139 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: you gotta get up. You can't be crying. So I'm 140 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: just like, you know, come on, let's go, you know. 141 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: And it's it's a little hard, but now i feel 142 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: like I've gotten the hang of it where I'm like, 143 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: it's okay to cry a little bit, but you got 144 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: to pick it up. I've learned to get the hang 145 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: of that because girl, are boys, men and women that 146 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: are listening. I'm a cancer, and we could be very 147 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: emotional creatures. So controlling my emotions has been a task 148 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: in itself, especially on stage, but I think I think 149 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: I've dominated it now. Talking about my band Labanda, it's 150 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: very hard, very very difficult to find a responsible banda 151 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: because musicos can be and of course, especially like if 152 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: we don't have like a full on tour with like 153 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, one hundred dates, it's a little hard 154 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: because the banderos, the musicians, they have other jobs and 155 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: they have families that they have to provide for, so 156 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: sometimes they come and they go. So that's been a 157 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: little bit. I think the most difficult thing since I 158 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: started my career is finding a banda that is going 159 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: to stick. And I think I finally found one, and 160 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: it just gives me so much peace of mind because 161 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: I've been working with this guy and he's like the 162 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: manager and the head of the banda. So even if 163 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: one leaves, he makes sure that he finds, you know, 164 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: another trumpeta, and he puts them in line and they rehearse, 165 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: because rehearsing is so important. I was actually in Brownsville 166 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: for about I don't know, like a week like four 167 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: or five days rehearsing, because before I would rehearse one 168 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: or two days. But I was like, I need to 169 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: set these days aside and rehearse so that we have 170 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: that connection and you could tell we're family, me and 171 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: my musicians, you know, and that the flow goes well. 172 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: Even if we mess up, we know where to pick up. 173 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: It's very important to have that relationship with your musicians. 174 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: Kayo Sepans Gambien And I think, finally, thank god, I 175 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: have found that and I feel very comfortable. And I 176 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: think rehearsing and that's one thing that it's like, you 177 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: got to be disciplined enough to say, I'm going to 178 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: set days aside for whatever it is, even if you're 179 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: not a singer. It's it's just really striving and seeking 180 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: that knowledge and practicing and rehearsing and making sure that 181 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: you are intentional about giving your best at whatever it 182 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: is that you're doing. And so to me, rehearsing is 183 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: super important. I like to be at my sound checks 184 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: because every stage is different, every sound is different, every 185 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: mic is different. I have my own mic, but even 186 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: like at the Paula, I wasn't able to use my 187 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: personal mic. So I was worried because I'm like, wait 188 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: a second, this is my mic. You grow an attachment 189 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: to your mic. So when they said, oh, we can't 190 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: connect it. We don't have the device to connect your mic, 191 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: I had to use one from THEIRS, and I was 192 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: a little nervous. But then I did my sound check 193 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, cool, Like I got the 194 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: feeling the mic and I became one and I was like, 195 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: all right, make sure that this is the mic I'm 196 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: going to use because I'm already leveled out. And that's 197 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: one thing, like I've seen it myself when I go 198 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: to my soundcheck sometimes I'm the only one there when 199 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: it's like a bunch of artists and they just send 200 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: their musicians. But for me, it's like I want to 201 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: be there. I want to feel the stage. I want 202 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: to see what I'm looking at. I want to be 203 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: able to go to every corner and know, like not 204 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: just walk up on stage and not know what I'm doing. 205 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: So for me, it's like when they say practice makes perfect, 206 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: that sh it's the truth. Believe me, you guys, there's 207 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: these are things that you guys don't see. There are 208 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: some people that I'm sure can say or want to say, ah, 209 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: like I'm sorry, but I'm not taking that shit no more. Now, 210 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, I know exactly what I'm doing, and I 211 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: have put in the hard work, and I know about music. 212 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: I know what I want, especially with this album, especially 213 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: with this tour, Like I put everything. I put the 214 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: set list together, I put my track list for my 215 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: album together, I did the intros and I wrote everything, 216 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: like I know what I want to hear. I have 217 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: the ear. I mean, I was raised in this you guys, 218 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: like I was born in the music. Now I'm like, wait, 219 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let anybody's negative comments steer me from 220 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: believing in myself and knowing I know what I'm talking about, 221 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: and not only that I put the work. I really do. 222 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: Like for me, it's important even more so for me 223 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: because my mom is who she is and I have 224 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: been constantly compared to her and people may think, oh, 225 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: chis probably watches her mom, and cause I've gotten it 226 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: a lot, we're like, oh my god, Cheeky's like, you 227 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: made me cry because I do meeting greets after the shows, right, 228 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: and I have the conversations with It's not just take 229 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: a picture with me and buy No, I'm like, how 230 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: did you like it?

And when I'm 337 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: on tour, it is important for me, especially the day 338 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: of the show, to work out. I do cardio because 339 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: I feel like it just gives me more energy obviously, 340 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: and it helps my vocals, like clear my throat, So 341 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: I'll do cardio in the morning. Sometimes I do wait, 342 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: it just depends, and I try to eat as clean 343 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: as I can on show day because my stomach gets 344 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: bloated really quickly, so I like to have just I'll 345 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: go light especially before my show, like a protein shake 346 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: or some chicken or a soup or something that's not 347 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: too heavy so that I can just feel comfortable on stage. 348 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: After the show is another story, because after the show, 349 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: I've done so much cardio on stage that I get 350 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: really hungry. I'm not gonna lie to watch what I eat, 351 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: but honestly, like my body craves bread and wants sugar, 352 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: so there are times where I'm just like, Okay, instead 353 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: of having two tacos, I'll have one. But after the 354 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: show is guadama un chingo ambre so see malo mis gustos, 355 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: and I'll have especially something sugary, because it's like it's 356 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: a lot of energy you give out, you know, and 357 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: especially me, I do my show, my hour and a 358 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: half show, and then I do meet and greets after, 359 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: usually anywhere from eighty to one hundred people of meeting greets, 360 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: and I sit there and I'm standing and I'm taking 361 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: pictures and I'm like talking. So by the time we're done, 362 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: a bitch is hungry, so I eat. Okay. Now, a 363 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: lot of people might think that after my shows, I 364 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: get crunk and I get crazy, and I drink and 365 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: I continue drinking. I don't. I think I can count 366 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 1: on one hand, maybe literally three times sem mucho. It's 367 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: a lot if I've partied after a show, especially because 368 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: I do my meet and greets. After my show, I 369 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: like to just eat, put on my pj's, take off 370 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: my makeup, and maybe watch a movie and relax. It's very, 371 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: very extremely rare if I go out and I party afterwards, 372 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: or I have after parties, and even if I say 373 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to have an after party, like the time 374 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: that I performed at the grove. I had this whole 375 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: thing planned. I had invited all my friends. We were 376 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: going to party afterwards. It was like the last day 377 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: of my playlist tour, and we were supposed to party 378 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: at the room or room my friend's club. Everyone went. 379 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: After my meeting greets dude. I was exhausted and I 380 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: was way too buzzed. So I went to my room 381 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: and I ordered food and I fell asleep, and everyone 382 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: was waiting for me at the after party, and I 383 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: felt so bad because I was like, I'm a homebody. 384 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: I'm introverted. Like it's crazy because I feel like when 385 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: you're on stage, you're giving so much of yourself that 386 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: I felt like, sometimes I feel like going to an 387 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: after party and mingling, and it's just sometimes it's too much. 388 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: Like I've learned that what I do is I'm extroverted. 389 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: That's Cheeky's but Janey is introverted. I like to be 390 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: with the people that I feel comfortable with. I like 391 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: to be in my room. I love watching movies, I 392 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: love reading books. I love just even eating in bed. 393 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: That makes me so happy. So I'm not that much 394 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: of a party animal. But when it's time to party, 395 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: I party. I can throw back those shots pro I 396 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: I I can't. That's just me, guys, And people ask 397 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: me this all the time, like do I go sight 398 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: see when, like for instance, like when I was in Dallas. 399 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: I'm very to myself. I like to spend a lot 400 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: of time in my room. I'll go to the gym. 401 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: Most of the time I eat in my room. It's 402 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: very rare when I go out to a restaurant when 403 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: I'm on tour, because I'm so focused and I'm so 404 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: about like what I'm doing on the task ahead, that 405 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: I don't really enjoy much. I want to get better 406 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: at it though, like see and visit landmarks and take 407 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: pictures and stuff like that. Mingle a little bit more. 408 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: But for the most part, about ninety percent of the time, 409 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: I stay in my room and I just read and 410 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: I relax that I can have as much energy for 411 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: my show. But I will admit I want to get 412 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: better at seeing a little bit more of the world 413 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: and not just be in my own world in my room. 414 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: So now we come to the rapid fire questions. You guys, 415 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: remember I said to hold to the end because we're 416 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna have some Q and a's okay.

For me, it's like 460 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: I want to leave people wanting more, so I always 461 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: end with comple Demente, which is one of my most 462 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: popular songs.

Okay. Worse experience with 467 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: a fan any unruly ones? Well, okay, talking about this 468 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: place in Dallas. There was this one guy, a boss 469 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: by a king B. I'm not gonna say his name, 470 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: but he it was like, you kind of have to 471 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: sit there because if you don't sit then the people 472 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: behind you can't see you when you're on stage. So 473 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: there was this one fan that kept standing up and 474 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: screaming and stuff, and people were getting upset, and the 475 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: security had told him a few times to just sit down. 476 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: He was just excited. He was drunk and having a 477 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: great time, and he's one of my biggest fans and 478 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: I love him so much. I was singing to the 479 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: left side of the stage and from the corner of 480 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: my eye I could see that something was happening on 481 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: the right side of the stage, and next thing you know, 482 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: I see the security guard grab the guy from his 483 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: neck and bring him down to the floor. And I 484 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: just stopped everything, and I'm like, wait a second, you 485 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: are not going to do that. Like, of course, I 486 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: respect with the security guards, that's their job. They need 487 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: to calm people down. But I just felt like it 488 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 1: was just way too much and I had to stop everything, 489 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: the music, And I think they even caught this moment 490 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: on TikTok where I was like, wait, don't do that, 491 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: Like I'm not okay with that. But for me to 492 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: have like a bad experience with a fan like me personally, 493 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: I haven't. I actually had a bad experience with one 494 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: of my mom's fans. I was selling posters at want 495 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: of her concerts. I would sell the posters and the 496 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: CDs and the shirts and stuff. I had one of 497 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: the posters in my hands. I was about to give 498 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: it to someone else, and she snatched it out of 499 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: my hand. So I turned around and I grabbed it 500 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: back and my mom's fan bit me on the arm, 501 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: like she literally bit me. I had bitemarks, and I 502 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: was like, and I screamed, and my mom was busy 503 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: doing something but she heard her child scream me and 504 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: she's like, what happened? And I told her I was like, 505 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: she just bit me. Oh my goodness. My mom slapped 506 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: that lady so bad, like she slapped it. She's like, 507 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,719 Speaker 1: don't you ever put your hands on my daughter. I 508 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: will never forget that day. I felt so bad for 509 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: the girl because I don't think she knew I was 510 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: my mom's daughter. But it's like my mom at that 511 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: moment was not the artist. She was the mother sosacho 512 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: las Yes, dude, that lady bit me so hard I 513 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: thought I was gonna bleed. My mom just heard me 514 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: scream and she was like, what's what's wrong with my daughter? 515 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: So for me, I think that was like the worst 516 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: experience with the fan, but not necessarily one of my fans. Oh. Actually, 517 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: one time, now that we're talking about it, a lady 518 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: flipped me off. I was in Mexico and she was 519 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: flipping me off with both her fingers and I was like, 520 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: I flipped her back off too. I said, girl, if 521 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: you don't like it, if you don't bite, and I 522 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: had the security guards take her out because I'm like 523 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: you're not gonna disrespect me. I'm here working, I'm doing 524 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: my thing, and you're there flipping me off. So I 525 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: flipped her back off and I said, you better go. 526 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: So that was one anyways, most embarrassing moment on stage. Ooh, 527 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: most embarrassing moment, Well, it's always with wardrobe and my 528 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: butt because I got a big ass, so the pants 529 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: were too tight.
