For the first time, I have like a 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: theme when it comes to a wardrobe, leather and gean 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 1: and bandanas, because that's who I am, that love that 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: I get from the people that go see me. It 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: still blows my mind that people took the time out 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: of their night. They could be anywhere else in the 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: world and they decided to buy a ticket to a 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: cheeky show. Hello and welcome to another episode of cheek 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,639 Speaker 1: Ease and Chill. I'm your host cheek Ease, and let 13 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: me tell you I'm super excited about this episode because 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: today I'm pulling back the curtain on my right not tour. 15 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about everything from makeup and wardrobe 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: to how I decide which songs I'm going to perform, 17 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: sat my set list, and be sure to stay too 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: until the end for some juicy Q and as so, 19 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: sit back, grab a drink and enjoy this episode of 20 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: cheek Ease and Chill. Oh Yes, life on the road. 21 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: It's actually one of those things I enjoy the most 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: about being a singer, and I'm gonna tell you why, 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: because I personally like staying at hotel rooms. That's weird, right, 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: but I do. I feel like I'm on vacation in 25 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: a way way, but I'm actually there to work. But 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: I get to relax more. I don't know, I feel 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: like it's more me time. And now regarding my album 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: recording it, I'm done, officially done recording the album, but 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: I want to say that this one was I think 30 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: the toughest to finish. The studio, to me, is a 31 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: very personal place. I like to be kind of by myself. 32 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: I like, you know, the lights to be damned. I 33 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: like candles to be lit. I drink a little bit 34 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: of team for a long time, you guys, going to 35 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: the studio, oh, was like a drag because you can 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: hear every single mistake when you're in the studio. So 37 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: it's like I felt very intimidated, for the lack of 38 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: a better word, like I just felt like, oh my gosh, 39 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: Like I almost preferred singing live than in the studio 40 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: because like literally it's just you feel closed in. And 41 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: with time and with experience, now I've learned to love 42 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: the studio, I just feel like it's me time. It's 43 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: me and the mic, and I get to express myself 44 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: and I get to release tension. And yes, it's a 45 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: little stressful because I'm a perfectionist and I want everything 46 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: to come out right. I'll do take after take after 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: take until I get it exactly how I want it. 48 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: But it helps me release. I forget about everything in 49 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: the world and I just focus on that track that 50 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: I'm recording. And I'm not one to like sit there 51 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: and finish my record in two weeks. Like there are 52 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: people that say, Okay, I got my songs, I'm gonna 53 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: go in there, and I'm just gonna like record my album, 54 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: my entire album in two weeks. I can't do that. 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm more of like, I have the song, I'm gonna 56 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: go in there. I live with the song, and that's 57 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: why it's taken me on most two years to finish. 58 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: So anyways, let's go back to the tour because I 59 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: just got back from my second date, which was in Dallas. 60 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: The first one was in pol Casino and it was 61 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: sold out, so we started off with the right foot. 62 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: You guys, Policastino, everyone that was there, Thank you. So much. 63 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: It was a sold out show and Dallas was too, 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: so that's exciting. And now we're gonna be going I 65 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: have one in Northern California and then I'm gonna be 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: going to Mexico with the tour. The album comes out 67 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: May twelve. He was, I'm gonna be in Mexico. Aciendo 68 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: is the lad so I'm really excited. I'm gonna be 69 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: an O Passo too. So the tour, the dates are 70 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: going well, Mr Bull. My manager keeps adding dates and 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna tell you, it's crazy because before 72 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: every show, I'm very, very nervous, Like I get so nervous, 73 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: and then when I get up there, I'm like, okay, cool. 74 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: So I'm just like I know how to do this, 75 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: like what am I tripping off of? But I get 76 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: so nervous. And I feel like it's good to be nervous, though, 77 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: because that means that you're passionate about what you're doing. 78 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: And I don't know, but it is tiring, especially because 79 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: I want to give my very best, especially with this tour, 80 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: because the set list took me four hours to put together, 81 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: you guys, four hours on a Sunday. I need to 82 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: like envision the song. I need to like listen to 83 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: the songs back to back to see if the flow 84 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: goes well, because I want people to obviously start on 85 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: a high note and then bring them down. And you know, 86 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: I sing love songs and then songs to my mom 87 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: and I cry a little bit. Sometimes sometimes I do, 88 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: sometimes I don't. These last two shows I have, I've 89 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: cried and then I bring them back up. So it's 90 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: like for me, it's like what do I want to 91 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: see as a fan. That's why it's so important, Like 92 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: how I want the intro to look, what I want 93 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: to say in the intro before I go on stage 94 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,239 Speaker 1: the first song I want to sing, removing certain songs 95 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: that don't go with the flow, you know what I'm mean. 96 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: And it's hard because a lot of o G fans 97 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: want to hear songs from my first album. But now 98 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: this is called the tour, so I have out of 99 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: the songs that makes sense with the story I'm trying 100 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: to tell, because that's what I'm doing with this show. 101 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm telling a story. I'm bringing you on the experience. 102 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: So it can be stressful, it can be very tiring. 103 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: It's late nights. You guys. But it's worth it. It's 104 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: been worth it because that love that I get from 105 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: the people that go see me, it still blows my mind. 106 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: It blows my mind to know that people took the 107 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: time out of their day, out of their night. They 108 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: could be anywhere else in the world, and they decided 109 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: to buy a ticket to a cheeky show. And I 110 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: just feel like this responsibility in a good way to 111 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: give my best to make sure that that hour and 112 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: a half, that hour and forty five minutes that you're 113 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: with me and listening to me, that you're enjoying every 114 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: single part of my show, even if something goes wrong, 115 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: because especially on the first show, ship went wrong with 116 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: you then monitors with the DJ, like certain songs didn't 117 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: come in when they were supposed to, and things that 118 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: I see but maybe even the audience hasn't notice, but 119 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: I notice it and it bothers me. But even that, 120 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: I'm very like, I go with the flow. I'm just like, 121 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: you know what it is, what it is. It's the 122 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: first show I tell the audience. I'm very open, but 123 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: because I want them to know that it's important to 124 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: me that the money that you're investing in my show 125 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to be completely worth it. So for me, 126 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: it's like I take that ship serious. I take it 127 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 1: so serious because it still blows my mind. I'm just like, Wow, 128 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: all these people are here for me. Like when you 129 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: guys are singing, you know the songs, those of you 130 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: that have been with me on tour or have been 131 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: with me to one of the shows. Like sometimes I'm like, 132 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: oh my god, like i want to sit there and 133 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: just cry like a little baby. Like I'm just like, 134 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, these people love me. It just feels 135 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: so beautiful. But then I'm like, no, you gotta be 136 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: a bad bitch. You gotta be a bad bitch. You 137 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: gotta get up. You can't be crying. So I'm just like, 138 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, come on, let's go, you know. And and 139 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: it's it's a little hard, but now i feel like 140 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: I've gotten the hang of it where I'm like, it's 141 00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: okay to cry a little bit, but you gotta pick 142 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: it up. I've learned to get the hang of that 143 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: because girl, our boys, men and women that are listening, 144 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm a cancer and we could be very emotional creatures. 145 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: So controlling my emotions has been a task in itself, 146 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: especially on stage, but I think I think I've dominated 147 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: it now. Talking about my band Labanda, it's very hard, 148 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: very very difficult to find a responsible band because mosticos 149 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: can be and of course, especially like if we don't 150 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: have like a full on tour with like I don't know, 151 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: a hundred dates, it's a little hard because vans the musicians, 152 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: they have other jobs and they have families that they 153 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: have to provide for, so sometimes they come and they go. 154 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: So that's been a little bit. I think the most 155 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: difficult thing since I started my career is finding a 156 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: banda that is going to stick. And I think I 157 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: finally found one, and it just gives me so much 158 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: peace of mind because I've been working with this guy 159 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: and he's like the manager and head of the banda. 160 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: So even if one leaves, he makes sure that he finds, 161 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, another trump and he puts him in line 162 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: and they rehearse because rehearsing is so important. I was 163 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: actually in Brownsville for about I don't know, like a week, 164 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: like four or five days rehearsing, because before I would 165 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: rehearse one or two days. But I was like, I 166 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: need to set these days aside and rehearse so that 167 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: we have that connection and you could tell we're family, 168 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: me and my musicians, you know, and that the flow 169 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: goes well. Even if we mess up, we know where 170 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: to pick up. It's very important to have that relationship 171 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: with your musicians and Sambien and I think, finally, thank god, 172 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: I have found that and I feel very comfortable, and 173 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: I think rehearsing and that's one thing that it's like, 174 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: you got to be disciplined enough to say I'm going 175 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: to set days aside for whatever it is, even if 176 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: you're not a singer. It's it's just really striving and 177 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: seeking that knowledge and practicing and rehearsing and making sure 178 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: that you are intentional about giving your best at whatever 179 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: it is that you're doing. And so to me, rehearsing 180 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: it's super important. I like to be at my sound 181 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: checks because every stage is different, every sound is different, 182 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: every mic is different. I have my own mic, but 183 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: even like at the parlor, I wasn't able to use 184 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: my personal mic. So I was worried because I'm like, 185 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: wait a second, this is my mic. You grow an 186 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: attachment to your mic. So when they said, oh we 187 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: can't connect it, we don't have the device to connect 188 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: your mic. I had to use one from theirs, and 189 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: I was a little nervous, but then I did my 190 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: sound check and I was like, okay, cool, Like I 191 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: got the feeling the mic and I became one and 192 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, make sure that this is 193 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: the MIC I'm going to use because I'm already leveled out. 194 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: And that's one thing, like I've seen it myself when 195 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: I go to my sound check sometimes I'm the only 196 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: one there when it's like a bunch of artists and 197 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: they just send their musicians. But for me, it's like 198 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: I want to be there. I want to feel the stage. 199 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: I want to see what I'm looking at. I want 200 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: to be able to go to every corner and no, 201 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: like not just walk up on stage and not know 202 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: where what I'm doing. So for me, it's like when 203 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: they say practice makes perfect, that's just the truth. Believe me, 204 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: you guys, there's these are things that you guys don't see. 205 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: There are some people that I'm sure I can say 206 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: or want to say, ah no, Ganda like I'm sorry, 207 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: but I'm not taking that any more. Now. I'm like, 208 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'm doing and I have put 209 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: in the hard work, and I know about music. I 210 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: know what I want, especially with this album, especially with 211 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: this tour, Like I put everything. I put the set 212 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: list together, I put my track list from my album together, 213 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: I did the intros, and I wrote everything like I 214 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: know what I want to hear. I have the ear. 215 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I was raised in this you guys, like 216 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: I was born in the music. Now I'm like, wait, 217 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let anybody's negative comments steer me from 218 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: believing in myself and knowing I know what I'm talking about, 219 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: and not only that I put the work. I really do. 220 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: Like for me, it's important even more so for me 221 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: because my mom is who she is and I have 222 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: been constantly compared to her and people may think, oh 223 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: Ki's probably watches her mom, and because I've gotten it 224 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: a lot where like oh my god, chick, he's like 225 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: you made me cry.

And when I'm 334 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: on tour, it is important for me, especially the day 335 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: of the show, to work out. I do cardio because 336 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: I feel like It just gives me more energy, obviously, 337 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: and it helps my vocals, like clear my throat. So 338 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: I'll do cardio in the morning. Sometimes I do. Wait, 339 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: it just depends, and I try to eat as clean 340 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: as I can on show day because my stomach gets 341 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: bloated really quickly, so I like to have just I'll 342 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: go light especially before my show, like approachein shake or 343 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: some chicken or a soup or something that's not too heavy, 344 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: so that I can just feel comfortable on stage. After 345 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: the show is another story, because after the show, I've 346 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: done so much cardio on stage that I get really hungry. 347 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to try to watch what I eat, 348 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,479 Speaker 1: but honestly, like my body craves bread and wants sugar, 349 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: So there are times where I'm just like, okay, instead 350 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: of having two tacos, I'll have one. But after the 351 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: show is so see Mellois gustos, and I'll have especially 352 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: something sugary, because it's like it's a lot of energy 353 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: you give out, you know, And especially me, I do 354 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: my show, my hour and a half show, and then 355 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: I do meeting greets after usually anywhere from eight hundred 356 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: people of meeting greats and I sit there and I'm 357 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 1: standing and I'm taking pictures and I'm like talking. So 358 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: by the time we're done, a bitch is hungry, so 359 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: I eat. Okay. Now, a lot of people might think 360 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: that after my shows, I get crunk and I get 361 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: crazy and I drink and I continue drinking. I don't. 362 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: I think I can count on one hand, maybe literally 363 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: three times mucho. It's a lot if I've partied after 364 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: a show, especially because I do my meeting greets after 365 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: my show, I like to just eat, put on my pj's, 366 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: take off my makeup, and maybe watch a movie and relax. 367 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: It's very, very extremely rare if I go out and 368 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: I party afterwards, or I have after parties, and even 369 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: if I say I'm going to have an after party, 370 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: like the time that I performed at the Grove, I 371 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: had this whole thing plant. I had invited all my friends. 372 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: We were going to party afterwards. It was like the 373 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 1: last day of my playlist tour, and we were supposed 374 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: to party at the Rumor Room, my friends club. Everyone went. 375 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: After my meeting greens Dude, I was exhausted and I 376 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: was way too buzzed. So I went to my room 377 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: and I ordered food and I fell asleep and everyone 378 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: was waiting for me at the after party, and I 379 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: felt so bad because I was like, I'm a homebody. 380 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: I'm introverted. Like it's crazy because I feel like when 381 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: you're on stage you're giving so much of yourself that 382 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: I felt like, sometimes I feel like going to an 383 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: after party and mingling, and so it's just sometimes it's 384 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: too much. Like I've learned that what I do is 385 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm extroverted. That's cheekies, but Jenna is introverted. I like 386 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: to be with the people that I feel comfortable with. 387 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: I like to be in my room. I love watching movies, 388 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: I love reading books. I love just even eating in bed. 389 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: That makes me so happy. So I'm not that much 390 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: of a party animal. But when it's time to party 391 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: at party, I can throw back those tiquila shots. I can't. 392 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: That's just me, guys, and people ask me this all 393 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: the time, like do I go sight see when, like 394 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: for instance, like when I was in Dallas. I'm very 395 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: to myself. I like to spend a lot of time 396 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: in my room. I'll go to the gym. Most of 397 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: the time. I eat in my room. It's very rare 398 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: when I go out to a restaurant when I'm on 399 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: tour because I'm so focused and I'm so about like 400 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: what I'm doing and the task ahead that I don't 401 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: really enjoy much. I want to get better writ it though, 402 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: like see and visit landmarks and take pictures and stuff 403 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: like that, mingle a little bit more. But for the 404 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: most part, about nine of the time, I stay in 405 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: my room and I just read and I relax that 406 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: I can have as much energy for my show. But 407 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: I will admit I want to get better at seeing 408 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 1: a little bit more of the world and not just 409 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: be in my own world in my room. So now 410 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: we come to the rapid fire questions. You guys, remember 411 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: I said to hold to the end because we're gonna 412 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: have some Q and a s okay. Number one first 413 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: memory of being on stage, well, the first one that 414 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: comes to mind is when I did I Want to Say? 415 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: And it was my first single that was playing on 416 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: the radio, and it was like my first performance ever, 417 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: launching my career on television. So I remember that it 418 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: was like this whole thing, whole product and thing. It 419 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: was awesome, but I was shaking you guys, like you 420 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: have no idea and I always say that first performance, 421 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: I feel like it wasn't me, Like I feel like 422 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: something took over my body because it went by so 423 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: fast and I don't remember any movement I make, Like 424 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: even when I go and watch that show now, like 425 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: you go on YouTube and watch it, like, I'm like, 426 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: I don't even remember doing that. It was just I 427 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: don't know something to go over my body. It's the 428 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: craziest thing. Now I pray for like I asked God, 429 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: I want to be completely present on my shows. I 430 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: want to feel that. I want to know exactly what 431 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: I'm doing, and thank goodness, we're much better with that. 432 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: A favorite city to play and why oh my favorite city, 433 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: geez Louise.

Okay, how do you choose your 447 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: first and last song, especially with this tour. I just 448 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: felt like it was the most appropriate thing to start 449 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: with the song that still hasn't come out. It's it's 450 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: a part of the album, it's still not a single. 451 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: A lot of people haven't heard it. I wanted to 452 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: give my audience, the people that go watch me sing 453 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: with this tour something special, a gift. So I'm like, 454 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: I need to start with a strong song, a high note, 455 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: and end with a high note. For me, it's like 456 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,479 Speaker 1: I want to leave people wanting more. So I always 457 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: end with complement, which is one of my most popular songs. 458 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,239 Speaker 1: It's called and I always end with that. I just 459 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: wanted to become like a thing like brand that you know, 460 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: So it's always start with the high note and end 461 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: with a high note, you know, and everything else in 462 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: between will work out. Okay. Worst experience with a fan, 463 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: any unruly ones. Um, well, okay, talking about this place 464 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: in Dallas, there was this one guy, a boss Bia 465 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: king By I'm not going to say his name, but 466 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: he It was like, you kind of have to sit 467 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: there because if if you don't sit, then the people 468 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: behind you can't see you when you're on stage. So 469 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: there was this one fan that kept standing up and 470 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: screaming and stuff, and people were getting upset and the 471 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: security had told him a few times to just sit down. 472 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: He was just excited. He was drunk and having a 473 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: great time, and he's one of my biggest fans and 474 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: I love him so much. I was singing to the 475 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: left side of the stage and from the corner of 476 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: my eye I could see that something was happening on 477 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: the right side of the stage. And next thing you know, 478 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: I see the security guard grab the guy from his 479 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: neck and bring him down to the floor. And I 480 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: just stopped everything, and I'm like, wait a second, you 481 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: are not going to do that. Like, of course, I 482 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: respect with the security guards, that's their job. They need 483 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: to let calm people down. But I just felt like 484 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: it was just way too much and I had to 485 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: stop everything. The music and I think they even caught 486 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: this moment on TikTok where I was like, wait, don't 487 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: do that, Like I'm not okay with that. But for 488 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: me to have like a bad experience with a fan 489 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: like me personally, I haven't. I actually had a bad 490 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: experience with one of my mom's fans. I was selling 491 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: posters at one of her concerts. I would sell the 492 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: posters and the CDs and the shirts and stuff. I 493 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: had one of the posters in my hands. I was 494 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: about to give it to someone else, and she snatched 495 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: it out of my hand. So I turned around and 496 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: I grabbed it back and my mom's fan bit me 497 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: on the arm, like she literally bit me. I had 498 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: bite marks, and I was like and I screamed, and 499 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: my mom was busy doing something, but she heard her 500 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: child scream me, and she's like, what happened? And I 501 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: told her as a she just bait me. Oh my goodness, 502 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: my mom slapped that lady so bad, like she slapped her. 503 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: She said, don't you ever put your hands on my daughter. 504 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: I will never forget that day. I felt so bad 505 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: for the girl because I don't think she knew I 506 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: was my mom's daughter. But it's like my mom at 507 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: that moment was not the artist, she was the mother. Dude. 508 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: That lady beat me so hard I thought I was 509 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: going to bleed. My mom just heard me scream and 510 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: she was like, What's what's wrong with my daughter? So 511 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: for me, I think that was like the worst experience 512 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: with the fan, but not necessarily one of my fans. Oh. Actually, 513 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: one time, now that we're talking about it, a lady 514 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: flipped me off. I was in Mexico and she was 515 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: slipping me off with both her fingers and I was like, 516 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: I flipped her back off too. I said, girl, if 517 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: you don't like it, if you don't know, and I 518 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: had the security guards take her out because I'm like, 519 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: you're not going to disrespect me. I'm here working, I'm 520 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: doing my thing, and you're they're flipping me off. So 521 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 1: I flipped her back off and I said you better go. 522 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: So that was one anyways, most embarrassing moment on stage. 523 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: Most embarrassing moment um, well, it's always with wardrobe and 524 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: my butt because I got a big gas so the 525 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: pants were too tight. I was working sas my pants 526 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: ripped right in the crack of my ass.
