Now. 5 00:00:45,796 --> 00:00:48,436 Speaker 1: I know they're stars, but to me, they're my students 6 00:00:48,476 --> 00:00:51,196 Speaker 1: and they're my friends, and I really love them because 7 00:00:51,276 --> 00:00:55,636 Speaker 1: they're like my family. I'm always getting asked what are 8 00:00:55,636 --> 00:00:58,476 Speaker 1: their lives really like? How much do they have to train? 9 00:00:58,636 --> 00:01:00,636 Speaker 1: And really how much do they have to practice to 10 00:01:00,676 --> 00:01:04,356 Speaker 1: sing their best well. In my new podcast from Pushkin 11 00:01:04,636 --> 00:01:07,556 Speaker 1: Backstage Pass with Eric Vietro, you'll get to find out. 12 00:01:08,316 --> 00:01:11,516 Speaker 1: I'm inviting you into my music studio to hear how 13 00:01:11,556 --> 00:01:15,476 Speaker 1: these artists prepare both mentally and physically to reach their 14 00:01:15,516 --> 00:01:19,236 Speaker 1: full potential. You'll hear Shawn Mendez tell this story about 15 00:01:19,276 --> 00:01:22,236 Speaker 1: the first song he ever performed for his family. Pretty sure. 16 00:01:22,276 --> 00:01:24,076 Speaker 1: My mom was crying and everyone was crying, and I 17 00:01:24,156 --> 00:01:28,556 Speaker 1: was like wow. John Legend analyzes aspects of his favorite 18 00:01:28,556 --> 00:01:32,036 Speaker 1: falsetto singers. I think Prince is obviously one of him, 19 00:01:32,516 --> 00:01:35,796 Speaker 1: and his is a little like funky. I just won't 20 00:01:35,916 --> 00:01:41,316 Speaker 1: you time, he would do a little more cry in 21 00:01:41,356 --> 00:01:43,796 Speaker 1: his voice, a little more like shriek, and it's a 22 00:01:43,796 --> 00:01:47,596 Speaker 1: little more like dangerous sounding. You'll hear Ariana Grande explain 23 00:01:47,716 --> 00:01:52,916 Speaker 1: one reason she works so hard. I always had a very, very, 24 00:01:53,036 --> 00:01:57,396 Speaker 1: very picky, sensitive ear, and it's kind of made me 25 00:01:57,436 --> 00:02:01,756 Speaker 1: into a perfectionist. And backstage pass, I'll talk to stars 26 00:02:01,756 --> 00:02:04,996 Speaker 1: about their singing process, their careers, and how they balance 27 00:02:05,036 --> 00:02:07,796 Speaker 1: it all in their day to day life. Maybe maybe, 28 00:02:09,196 --> 00:02:11,836 Speaker 1: but the truth is, building a really big career is 29 00:02:11,876 --> 00:02:15,756 Speaker 1: not always easy. And backstage Pass you'll hear conversations about 30 00:02:15,796 --> 00:02:18,116 Speaker 1: the challenges these singers have faced when they were just 31 00:02:18,156 --> 00:02:21,556 Speaker 1: starting out. It was so complicated for me to let 32 00:02:21,556 --> 00:02:24,516 Speaker 1: them know that I was really really serious about this. 33 00:02:24,756 --> 00:02:26,956 Speaker 1: You know that I really wanted to be a musician 34 00:02:26,996 --> 00:02:30,036 Speaker 1: and just to leave making music, you know what. Let 35 00:02:30,076 --> 00:02:31,916 Speaker 1: me just be out there and be me, Let me 36 00:02:32,036 --> 00:02:36,396 Speaker 1: just keep it simple, let me be completely and unapologetically myself. 37 00:02:36,796 --> 00:02:39,036 Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to do, and that was 38 00:02:39,196 --> 00:02:41,476 Speaker 1: I think one of the hardest performances I had to 39 00:02:41,596 --> 00:02:45,436 Speaker 1: do to get the ultimate behind the scenes experience.
