Speaker 2: On today here.

61
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: Yes, so let's get into it. So you are from Ipsilante, Michigan, y'all.

62
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to pronounce it at first, Like

63
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: how do you say this?

64
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 2: Yeah?

65
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: I was born there, and then pretty much I just

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: since I was until I was six, I stayed there,

67
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: but I.

68
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: Kind of been everywhere around Detroit.

69
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: I lived in Detroit before, so that's why people usually

70
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: say she from Detroit. But like, yeah, I've been all

71
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 4: over the outskirts, the n skirts, side skirts.

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: That is funny.

73
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: And then you became known through your YouTube five million subscribers.

74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: That's insane.

75
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, like when you started, did you think that it

76
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: would get that big?

77
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: So I kind of.

78
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: Had two youtubes where I had my I had my

79
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: old YouTube where well my first YouTube when I did

80
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: it with someone else and that was more like a

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: couple's vibe. And then once I broke off into my

82
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: own space, I had already had my fan base, like

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: people who genuinely had liked me. But then once I

84
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: started showing me my like just queen alone and just

85
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 4: like well I didn't really do music that much then,

86
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: but I had already built the fan base with my

87
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: personality and things like that. So once I dropped my

88
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: song like they was already behind it.

89
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah that's I love that.

90
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: I love that they called you the Let me make

91
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: sure I get it right because I don't want to

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: misquote it, the first soul star of social media generation.

93
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: When they say that, what like that's huge.

94
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you just said I got a

95
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: lot of humility, So I feel like, what, okay, So

96
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: I'll accept that. But yeah, I mean maybe because you

97
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: don't get I guess you don't get too many people

98
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: coming from YouTube in that sense of just like vlogging

99
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 4: and stuff. Right, you do have people who started singing

100
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 4: on YouTube, like the Bailey Sisters and like Justin Bieber,

101
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: they started they were singing on there, but me, I

102
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: was just I was nothing, really just singing.

103
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: I was just being I was doing crazy stuff like

104
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: you know. So I love that. How much of that

105
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: crazy stuff is really you?

106
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: Like you did put it out there.

107
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: Pretty much all of it.

108
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna be honest, like just over time, I

109
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: was probably like twenty two on there. So just with

110
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: gross it's up. It's a lot of things. I don't

111
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: do it anymore.

112
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I was younger, no, for sure.

113
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: But I still got that side. I still can be outlandish.

114
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: I'll be trying to contain it in certain areas like

115
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 4: right here, so I'm trying to keep it very cute

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 4: and classy.

117
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: Sweetie. I love it.

118
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: You are funny though, be yourself. I love that now.

119
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.

120
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: That's what makes you unique, it makes you you, and

121
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: that's what people fell in love with. So I love that.

122
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: We both are very active on social media and we

123
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: were talking offline about just how people can make you

124
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: look at yourself differently.

125
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: Like you said, I didn't even notice until somebody pointed

126
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: it out.

127
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: And I was telling you how there's this one girl

128
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: that always like talks about how big my nose is.

129
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

130
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 1: Yes, so worried, so worried, And recently I was looking

131
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: at it more and more and I was like, well,

132
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: maybe I should get plastic surgery.

133
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: I know is done.

134
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: And you were like saying, like, people make you look

135
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: at things that you never paid attention to.

136
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 4: No, that I never cared about any angle of my face,

137
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: like putting on makeup before get on video. I didn't

138
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: care about that stuff until I started being in a

139
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: public eye. People really point out your flaw. And the

140
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: worst part about it is like if you already feel

141
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: that way, it just magnifies it even more.

142
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, what are some things that you had to

143
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: like overcome being in that space and just even a

144
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: bout self esteem Because I dealt with body dysmorphia, I

145
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: felt like I just didn't look like everybody else.

146
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: I was like, this is what the men want.

147
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't look like that, you know, because there's so

148
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: many opinions out there that are being thrown at us.

149
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: I dealt with body dysmorphia really. Sometimes I still deal

150
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 4: with it. I've gotten a lot better with it though,

151
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: Like I used to obsess over being one hundred and

152
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 4: thirty five pounds, like I have to be that, but

153
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 4: maybe I'm still close to one sixty.

154
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: Look, and I just thank you.

155
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: I just learned to accept it, like honestly, like I'm

156
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: about to be thirty, so I feel like I should

157
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 4: just love myself and whatever shape that I'm in, and

158
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: you know, to be able to put myself in check

159
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,839

161
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: stuff like that, so I know it's time to tone

162
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: it down.

163
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: But I've just learned to, like.

164
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,520

167
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Sometimes people will.

168
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: Do surgery over and over just trying to get that

169
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: perfect look. Yes, and I have done surgery before too,

170
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: Like yeah, I had like life bow and that I

171
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: had to BBO and stuff like that, and I'm just like,

172
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 4: it's still not the way I want, But you can't

173
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: keep risking your life to go under the table. So

174
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: I'm like, look, if I got point hips, I just

175
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: got accepted. We're gonna have some point of hits. We

176
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: still look good though, you.

177
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: Look very good. Yeah.

178
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: No, I get it. I get And it's a real thing.

179
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people.

180
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: Don't understand when we decide to be vulnerab and put

181
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: ourselves out there, we're not also opening up ourselves for attacks,

182
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: you know. And it's like it plays a part of

183
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: our mental health, our securities. And I'm just like, why

184
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: does everybody have to like point everything?

185
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: And so if I go look at who's talking, I'd.

186
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: Be like, ma'am, and most of the hide and behind us.

187
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, baby, we all don't have no room to

188
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: talk now, come on, Like, but you know, I try

189
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: to keep it cute.

190
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: I don't try to clap back and stuff that much.

191
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: But all I'm gonna say is people definitely they know

192
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 4: how to point out someone else's stuff.

193
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: And that's so true.

194
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: I think I came to that same realization that these

195
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: are unhappy people that are behind computers hiding that aren't

196
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: happy with their selves, so they have to.

197
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, one thing that I said was, like, happy people,

198
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: if you're so busy being happy, you shouldn't have time

199
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: to like be being negative. No, you don't have time

200
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: because I'm not always the happiest. But I just know me,

201
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: I could even if I wasn't known or whatever, Like

202
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: I can't. I wouldn't be able to go online and

203
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 4: type a comment under somebody's stuff to make them feel worse,

204
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: and they might already feel because I'm just trying. I'm

205
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: too busy trying to be happy myself, right.

206
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, or get back to happy. That's so true.

207
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: I can't.

208
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: I've never been like that. I've never been like that.

209
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: Has there ever been a moment where you posted something

210
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: or vlogged something you like I shouldn't have did that?

211
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: Yes, really plenty of times, but like that's all trial

212
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: and error, you know. Yeah, Yeah, those were good learning

213
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: experiences for me, because like now I just i'm I'm

214
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: I know how to filter things a little bit better,

215
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: unless like I'm just in a super unfiltered Yeah.

216
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: Oh, like like I started twitch and you know that

217
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: was twitch.

218
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 4: I haven't gotten all this fun, but I'm gonna tell

219
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: you it's dangerous. You really got to watch it because

220
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 4: it's live. You gotta watch what you say because they

221
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: will literally clip the small They will clip the smallest things,

222
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: and the next thing I know, I'm all over on

223
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: TikTok and they got a whole narrative made up about something.

224
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: So but I do like it. It's fun.

225
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 4: I feel like I get to be myself more. I

226
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: don't have to worry about edits and stuff as much.

227
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 4: But definitely, yeah, that that's gonna help me exercise filtering.

228
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: No, for sure.

229
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: I love that you have shared on social media that

230
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: you are interested in on a gospel album, and I've

231
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: seen you singing gospel songs. You started in church, that's

232
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: when you found your voice. When did you know, like,

233
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: oh wait, I can sing, man.

234
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: So I grew I probably around probably around three or four.

235
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: Like I grew up in church and stuff. My grandma

236
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: used to have me go up there and sing no

237
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 4: Weapon song. So I do know that my voice. A

238
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 4: lot of people be like, Queen, make a Godspel album

239
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: right now, stop R and B and you know Lord

240
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: is coming back and things.

241
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: Like that, and I'd be like because he is so convicted.

242
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 4: Like oh, but and I also grew up in like

243
00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 4: that very like religious kind of vibeor of the prophets

244
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: were coming, like your voice is for the lords, don't

245
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: use it for but as I means, y'all can see,

246
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 4: I'm doing R and B. So that has always been

247
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 4: like a struggle with me, but I have learned over

248
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: time it's more so like I'm just trying to get

249
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: my relationship right with God so that I could hear

250
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: from him directly, so he could tell me when he's

251
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: ready for me to stop doing R and B, because

252
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: I can't say that he hasn't used me even during

253
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: doing R.

254
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: And B, you know.

255
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: And I do feel like there is going to be

256
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: a point in time where he might tell me, Okay,

257
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: it's time to it's time to do you know, I

258
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 4: don't know completely worship music or it's time. I feel

259
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: like how I come that is going to be way different.

260
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: It's going to be different from just a traditional gospel.

261
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: So I do plan to do that, but I just

262
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 4: know once I do it, like it's going to take

263
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: a lot of consecration being set apart. I'm not trying

264
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 4: to be dibbling dabbling doing this and that when I

265
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 4: do that, because I want it to be very like.

266
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: Genuine, you know.

267
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and honorable to him.

268
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

269
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: I'm working on music and I had already recorded some

270
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: songs and I was telling my manager.

271
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 2: We had went to Woman Evolved last year and Big.

272
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: West is probably like one of the few guys in

273
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: the arena. And Sarah Jakes had me out there for

274
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: a panel that she was doing, and first I.

275
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 3: Didn't feel like I belong there.

276
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, like me, like, I don't know if I'm

277
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: like I don't know if I'm like the one, you know,

278
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: or qualified to be on this stage speaking to all

279
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: these women about my relationship with God that I'm still

280
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: working on right and you know, like and I'm at

281
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: that point, I was still like straddling the fence and like,

282
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, still in the world, doing

283
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: my thing, and and she was like no, she said,

284
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: people need to see you because you're where a lot

285
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: of people are, you know what I'm saying. But you're

286
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: bringing people closer, you know, because they're like that. Some

287
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: people can't look at her at Sarah Jack's probably.

288
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: Like and be like, yeah, might feel like it's too

289
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: far from them.

290
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: But she's like when they see you, it's like Okay.

291
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: It's relatable and they feel like they feel like it's doable.

292
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: Yes exactly. Yeah, yeah like that because.

293
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: You can't I always say too, like, you can't just

294
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: reach people that's already in church. You've got to reach

295
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: the people that's outside, the people that might be in

296
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: a club. But that's the thing too, Like I be

297
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: so conflicted with that sometimes, like I don't That's why

298
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: I just gotta really walk close with guy, because a

299
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: lot of times people in church can discourage you too,

300
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 4: like yeah, yes, they were like, you ain't doing this.

301
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: It's the thin line I feel like between being super

302
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 4: judgy and also just you just gotta do things with

303
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 4: love men And.

304
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: What did he say?

305
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: The greatest of these is love love.

306
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

307
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: People forget to lead with that.

308
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, they forget to and then they run people away.

309
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: So you got to meet people where they are sometimes.

310
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: That's so true. Yeah, that's so true.

311
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: I told Wes, I was like, we've recorded all these songs,

312
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: but I just feel like I don't want to push

313
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: people to do things that's gonna make them sing, you know.

314
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 3: I was like, music is a portal. I said, I

315
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: have to be careful what I'm putting.

316
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: Out because I know certain songs I listen to maybe

317
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: want to be promiscuous, you know, so like I wake

318
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: up that little demon you know down yeah.

319
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: Like oh yeah, that makes me want to real quick exactly.

320
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, did guys say we can't be here?

321
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: Did you say that?

322
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 4: You know? And then I'll be thinking in my hair

323
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 4: like well, you know, this is for my future husband.

324
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: I trying to dumb it down, like this.

325
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: Is this is gonna I'm just getting prepared, prepare.

326
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah that is so funny. But yeah, like we were

327
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: having those conversations at first. He was like okay, and

328
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: I was dodging the studio. He kept saying we got

329
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: to get back in, we got to get back in, and.

330
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I completely.

331
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, I gotta find that voice in that lane

332
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: and really hear from God.

333
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: What is it that you want me to sing?

334
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: Because like you, I don't feel like it's straight gospel music,

335
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: you know. And I was talking to a friend of mine,

336
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: pastor Brenda Palmer, and she was like Crystal, she said,

337
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: look at Major, look at Stevie Whitney all these great artists.

338
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: She was like, the music wasn't bad, it was just secular,

339
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: but it makes you feel good.

340
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: It's music that's.

341
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: Real life experiences too. That that's what I'd be talking.

342
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 4: My thing is, I can't go super rounchy. Once I

343
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 4: started going super UNCHI and be like, all right, I

344
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 4: can't convicted.

345
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: There's been a couple of songs that I made.

346
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: I'm like, dang, but but like you know, as long

347
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 4: as I don't go super I'm like, wait, this is

348
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 4: just experiences, real life. But I know that I can't

349
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 4: just use my voice only for that, because like when

350
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 4: am I gonna edi fly God?

351
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: When am I going to glorify God?

352
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: You know?

353
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 4: And I don't want this to be one of those

354
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: situations where we at the gates and God like, baby.

355
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: Why don't you use your voice again that I gave you? Well, God,

356
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: I thought I had more time, Like I don't, yeah.

357
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: You on my street because recently I've been hearing him

358
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: more and more, and I just look at what's going

359
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: on in the world. And even when I was a kid,

360
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: my mom's like, we're living in the last days, living

361
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: in the last days, and I'm like, no, something different now,

362
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're coming any day now, like, and I

363
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: was like, I just want to be ready. And every

364
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: day I'm talking to God, I'm like, God, I just

365
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: want to honor you and everything I do.

366
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: I know I'm not perfect, but you know I'm trying.

367
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: It was my prayer just in the car before I

368
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: got here. I really was friends.

369
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: I swear I was talking to God. I was like, God,

370
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 4: I know I'm not perfect. I know I can't be,

371
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 4: but help me, please desire what you want me to desire.

372
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: Because I don't want to want what's contrary to what

373
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: you want. And I really don't want to get I

374
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: don't want to get left here neither.

375
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: And all this stuff that's on the news, I try

376
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: not to watch, like the news and stuff. I'm looking

377
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: at everything. The Bible is really unfolding, and I'm like, dang,

378
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: do I make this album? Do I put this out?

379
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to focus on like too much

380
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: on myself. I mean, I don't know how long we got.

381
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: That's real. And I don't want to scare people either,

382
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: but it's also.

383
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: Like I need but it is like I'd rather scare

384
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: them than for me and not to say hey, do better,

385
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: and then they weren't scared enough and they end up

386
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: going to hell. You know what I'm saying, when something

387
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: that we say could have changed their mind or changed

388
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: their trajectory to be like, let me get in the word,

389
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: let me find an intimate relationship with God myself.

390
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: I'm working, Yeah, me too, daily daily.

391
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: It's hard.

392
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 4: It's it's really not easy, especially with everything around.

393
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was talking to another girl and we

394
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: were talking about how it's not easy, but having your

395
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: tribe when people I've noticed, like friends falling off who

396
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: aren't on the same path as I am, or kind

397
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: of distancing themselves because you feel awkward when you're like

398
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: when you're around somebody who's really trying to pursue God

399
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: or Jesus Christ, and then they're like, I'm still trying

400
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: to be so they kind of distance.

401
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta kind of let them distance. You know.

402
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: That's probably God. Yeah, that's so true.

403
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: But I do have a talking about the tribe. I

404
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 4: have a like a I go to this private church

405
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 4: that's more so online because I feel like trying to

406
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 4: go in purchase.

407
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: It's a little hard, it is.

408
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 4: But I've been going there for like three almost four

409
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 4: years and they really helped me. They really keep me

410
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 4: accountable and things like that. Before that, I wasn't going

411
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 4: to church.

412
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt very convicted, like I say, because it

413
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: was like a year that I didn't go to church,

414
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: and that was because the church I was going to

415
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: it was some scandals happening and it just kind of

416
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: me away.

417
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, and I'd be feeling bad for

418
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: stuff like that too, because I feel like churches that

419
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: go through those scannels and think it run a lot

420
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 4: of people away. But I also be wanting those people

421
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: to understand that we're looking at humans here.

422
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: That's the same.

423
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: Yes, I always say that that's a human being, just

424
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: like we are, just of anointing.

425
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 3: We both have annoyance.

426
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: We still mess up every day.

427
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 4: So you can't just let that run you away from

428
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: church and be like, well, I don't want to serve

429
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 4: God no more.

430
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 2: I might as well just do this.

431
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: You need to eat the fish and spill the bones

432
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: and you know, or find ask God to help you

433
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 4: find somewhere else to go, you know.

434
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know.

435
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: I just kind of no, that's real though, No, I

436
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: want that You're exactly right now. I remember calling. I

437
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: called somebody and they said the exact same thing. They said, Crystal,

438
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: they are human just like we are. They are like

439
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: look at some of the disciples. God chose them, but

440
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: they weren't without flaw. Yeah, cut off that man, ear ma'am.

441
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: A lot of us want to cut off some ears,

442
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah.

443
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the people he chose were not perfect people.

444
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: And even after they started following him and walking with him.

445
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: They were with Jesus.

446
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: We didn't have that luxury to be in the flesh

447
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: for him. You know, he's with us in spirit. But

448
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: if they're still messing up, I mean he knows. Yeah,

449
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: I can't imagine.

450
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, that is so true.

451
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,600

Speaker 3: I'm not doing that well.

532
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 4: I know when I first came out and I first

533
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: had my my craziest buzz, like after medicine, I was

534
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,879

Speaker 4: it was just like a lot of we went up

536
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 4: this mountain in La It was I think it was

537
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 4: I didn't know at the time.

538
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: It was like Marilyn Manson's mansion that he was running

539
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: out and that whole day. I was feeling crazy.

540
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: It's on one of my blogs. I was feeling so

541
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 4: crazy that day. And I remember the night before I

542
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: had I don't know if you ever experienced this, but

543
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 4: I had sleep paralysis the night before and I remember

544
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 4: hearing it. But it was different this time, Like the

545
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: night before, I heard all these screams in my ear.

546
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, so when you were staying in that house.

547
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 4: No, not the house, but this was the night before

548
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 4: we had the shoot, and I was in my hotel room.

549
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: And then the next day I just felt uneasy.

550
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: Right, So we get up to this mountain and we're

551
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 4: about to shoot and I'm putting on all these you know, dresses,

552
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 4: and it was just a content piece for like some

553
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: songs I was performing live, and they had like certain

554
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 4: they had like I don't want to like say everything,

555
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 4: but they had certain things that we could have been

556
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: in the camera that I felt maybe they didn't. I

557
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 4: felt symbolized certain things and I was like, huh, take

558
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 4: that out.

559
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: Yes, like I was. I think I got into this

560
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: and I still don't know what it means. But this

561
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 2: empty pool that it was like a smaller pool though,

562
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 2: so it kind of.

563
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: Reminded me of a baptism pool, but it was emptied

564
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: and have water in it. Had like this statue next

565
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: to me, but the statue was beheaded.

566
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: It didn't have a head on it. It was just

567
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: very evil. Yeah, I was like, get that out of here,

568
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: like can we move this?

569
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 4: Like a lot of times they be like, oh, this

570
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 4: is for art and things like that, but to me,

571
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 4: it's like you gotta.

572
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,239
Speaker 2: Be careful because they be putting stuff in there has

573
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: another meaning.

574
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I don't know what this means, so I'm

575
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 4: not gonna do it, you know what I'm saying.

576
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 2: And I feel like maybe that's I don't know.

577
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm like, well, maybe that's the reason why I'm

578
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: you know, I'm just being in my own bubble and

579
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 4: I maybe feel like I haven't gotten.

580
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: A certain heights or whatever yet. But that's cool. I

581
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: stand stay.

582
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 4: True to myself, yes always, yeah, yeah, gotta continue to

583
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 4: keep blessing me.

584
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, but yeah, it's been little things.

585
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 3: Like that, like.

586
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: That's in our industry. Yeah.

587
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 4: Everything don't gotta be dark all the time, right, Like

588
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: why is it gonna be so dark?

589
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: Right?

590
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: You're not going through enough darkness in.

591
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: REALI we need some light. We do.

592
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's good. You took a break in twenty

593
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: twenty two. What made you want to step back and

594
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: just say, let me just take a minute in.

595
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two? Was this after I did a tour.

596

Speaker 2: in twenty twenty.

598
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 4: I probably took a break after that because I probably

599
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 4: felt like I was doing a lot and I really

600
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 4: just wanted to focus on my family, my kids.

601
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: I feel like I was just an apsent mom. I

602
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: had that mom guilt. Yeah, you know.

603
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,600

Speaker 4: trauma because of this and that that's real, and I'd

626
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: be like, wait, I thought I did. I thought I

627
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 4: did my best. Like I That's the kind of things

628
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 4: that I think about. So I try to balance it

629
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 4: out as much as I can, because I don't want

630
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: that from my boys. I don't want to say, Mom,

631
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 4: you weren't there and the babysitter had to raise me

632
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: and this and that. I'm just like, but I was

633
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 4: doing this for you and like I wanted you to to.

634
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 2: You know, it could It's it's definitely a lie, you know.

635
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 4: I mean, but I was thinking too, like even if

636
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: I just had a regular nine to five, I still

637
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 4: would be away from my kids too. So it's just

638
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 4: one of those things where I got to continue to

639
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 4: pray on.

640
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: How to balance it all out.

641
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna ask you, now that you've kind

642
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: of gotten past that, have you found a way to

643
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: balance both?

644
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think.

645
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 4: I think I just need to know when to stay

646
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 4: home and even know when it's time to go work.

647
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: And I've been staying home a lot lately, so that's good.

648
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 4: But to the point where it's like, Okay, queen, you

649
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 4: gotta go get back out there and sing and stuff.

650
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

651
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: You said that being a singer takes a lot.

652
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: What are some of the things that people may not

653
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: know that go into getting ready to put out an album,

654
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: getting ready to go on tour.

655
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: People think you could just for for putting out a project.

656
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 4: People think you can just go to the studio, record

657
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 4: a song, do a one take and put it out.

658
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: No, not like that.

659
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 4: Like they don't understand even once you're done recording a song,

660
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 4: They're like, what's taking so long? All the paperwork and

661
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 4: things behind it. You got you gotta make sure that

662
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 4: it's cleared and the producers and people agree with their

663
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 4: splits and things like that, and sometimes the lawyers take

664
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 4: back and forth communicating with each other, and it just

665
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 4: it takes a long time, so you know, you can't

666
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 4: just and then after that, after all that's done, you

667
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: have to roll it out to where it's like it

668
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: can be market well so people can like it can

669
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 4: be in everyone's face. So like that's really people just

670
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 4: don't know, like even going to record a song, like

671
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 4: I had recently showed myself recording a song live and

672
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 4: they were like, wow, I have a whole different respect

673
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 4: for recording artists because we literally do takes over and

674
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 4: over again to get it right. I probably do about

675
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 4: fifty takes to make sure something is right, and like,

676
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: it's just not that easy. And then getting prepared for tour,

677
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: maybe you gotta go to the gym before that and

678
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: make sure you can breathe walking on the stage like yeah,

679
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: and then I'm naturally not a dancer, so I gotta

680
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 4: get some choreography, some movement, you know, to be able

681
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 4: to Yeah, I feel like I'm rambling now, but.

682
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: No, that's it's good because people.

683
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: I feel like people don't understand that even with acting

684
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: the takes that we do, but I find getting in

685
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: the music booth and singing and doing all those takes

686
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: more annoying because my producers are like again, again, again again.

687
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: I'm like really yeah, but that be me on my

688
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: own self.

689
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be like it sounded good in my ear.

690
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was me.

691
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 4: I was working with who Beer, like not too long ago,

692
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 4: when I was in Miami and I was and I

693
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 4: asked you for the link.

694
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: I was like, I was in the studio and he

695
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: was like and I was like, nope, get it again,

696
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: get it again.

697
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 4: That'd be me on my own self, and it was like,

698
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 4: you just got it right, and I'd be like, nope again.

699
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: It's not something was off.

700
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so like that, I'm like a super perfectionist.

701
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: When it did you like study music?

702
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: Oh okay, because that sounds like somebody who like, no,

703
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: I heard something, something's off.

704
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: I always hear things that people don't hear.

705
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 4: I hear when something's all key, when something is flat

706
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 4: in the slightest way.

707
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: That's a gift.

708
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: And I'd be like, wait, no, nudge that over because

709
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 4: that's too early. Like I don't know why I ain't

710
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 4: going to school Ford or anything. My brain just knows how.

711
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that's a gift from God. That's amazing.

712
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: Yes it is.

713
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: I love that now and I love that you brought

714
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: them into the studio with you. Yeah, because people don't understand.

715
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: Are you like an early studio gir or do you go.

716
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: At night time?

717
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: You know what? I used to go at night, but

718
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: I realized I'm tired. Yes, so it's a saying girl,

719
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: I hate night sessions. Yeah, so I started.

720
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: I started like just starting early in the afternoon until

721
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 4: the evening.

722
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I still have that time to get back to

723
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: my kids too, right. Yeah.

724
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: Some guys like they literally, oh yeah, I just love

725
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: to see on this more. I'm like, what, Yeah, that's crazy, y'all.

726
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: I'm home.

727
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: I gotta go home. I gotta sleep.

728
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Would you say you are you enjoyed the studio

729
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: more or being live on stage?

730
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: I would say I really, I really love.

731
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 4: I used to actually say I hate it being like

732
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 4: doing live, But when I'm at my tours, the energy

733
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 4: that I feel for my supporters, like singing my music backs,

734
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 4: that is so fun good. It's so like I do.

735
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: Like I like being on tour. I like doing live stuff.

736
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 4: But if it's a crowd that I know is not

737
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: really used to me, I'll be a little nervous.

738
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: Right.

739
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: What was it like opening up for Mary Well?

740
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: Like huge?

741
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: It was it was amazing, Like I'm just so happy

742
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 4: and thank you to Mirror again forgive me the opportunity.

743
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 4: But it was a lot of I guess older people

744
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 4: in the crowd, you know, so I was like, I

745
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 4: ain't gonna know who I am. But turns out like

746
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 4: it was a lot of people there in the beginning

747
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: for the opening, and I did gain a lot of

748
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 4: I get a lot of new supporters and new demographics.

749
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: I was even looking at the people who was coming

750
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: to my meet and greets and it was different people

751
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: of all like cultures. I was like, oh, ok, you

752
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 4: know who I am, so you know, yeah, I always

753
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 4: do that.

754
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: But it was really it was really fun.

755
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: But in the beginning, like I said, I was nervous

756
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: because you got those people that sit in the front

757
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 4: that they there for Mary.

758
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: They're not trusting nobody else.

759
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: They're just in the front just like they just sitting down.

760
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 2: Come on, get up.

761
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: And it's hard to try to hype the crowd up

762
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 4: because I like to feed off, you know, energy.

763
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.

764
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: It's a dance that you do with your audience. Yeah.

765
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 4: But I have learned also to like, you just gotta

766
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 4: hype yourself up. You got dancers, you know, feed off

767
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 4: of their energy, but like you gotta know how to

768
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 4: be the hype.

769
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so true.

770
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: What is something that you can share that you learn

771
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: from working with Mary and being on the road with

772
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: her just as a professional.

773
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 4: Mary, it was just you know what crazy thing is

774
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 4: we were We didn't like run into each other a

775
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: lot often because we were so busy, like trying to

776
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 4: get ready for the show. But at the end of

777
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 4: the tour we did have a we did have a

778
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 4: little party for and then I sat next to her

779
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 4: and was talking a little bit, but the music was loud,

780
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 4: so we couldn't talk a lot. But I just remember

781
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 4: her saying to me, like, take your time. She was

782
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 4: just saying take your time. I don't know if she

783
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,720

784
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 4: meant but look at me, like take your.

785
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: Time, don't rush. Yeah. I was just like, okay, I'm

786
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 2: a yeah, been through some stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

787
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: She can definitely give you advice on that is there

788
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: in growing in this industry. What are some of the

789
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: lessons that you've learned about yourself or like just about business,

790
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: because I know a lot of times when you're new

791
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: to this. You went from YouTube to be in this

792
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: breakout star where everybody knows who you are.

793
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: What are some things that you learned?

794
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 4: Well, I want to say the most the biggest thing

795
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 4: that I probably learned was how can I say this

796
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: when it I hate I hate saying this, but like

797
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 4: when it comes to business, you can't think about people feelings.

798
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: It's not about being And I'm a very nice person.

799
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 4: So a lot of times in the past I have

800
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 4: like inconvinced myself for other people, even like people that

801
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 4: like I work with. Yeah, just inconvincing myself a lot

802
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 4: and just trying to I want to make sure everybody

803
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 4: is straight. But at the end of the day too,

804
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 4: you can't be too much of a pushover to I've

805
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 4: learned that in the business because when you're not like

806
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 4: stern about something like people will try to, you know,

807
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 4: run over you or like control things like that.

808
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: So that's something I'm still working on as far as.

809
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 4: Being a business woman, like just really being that balance

810
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: between being stern but not being that person.

811
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't not like working with her, right

812
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: and there's a way where exactly you don't want that.

813
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very I have people around me, and that's

814
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: what I love about me and Wester's relationship where I

815
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: can be honest with him, where sometimes you're afraid to

816
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: say what's really on your mind because you don't want

817
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: to hurt that feelings or people are sensitive, and it's like,

818
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: I really just want to say what I want to say.

819
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 3: It's like, no, say what you want to say.

820
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: I can say it to him and then he can

821
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: be like, all right, got it, let me fix it.

822
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 4: You know.

823
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good because I can't do that with everybody,

824
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, because I will be a bee you know,

825
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: to them, even though it's no, no. This is a

826
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: woman who's passionate about her business and she knows what

827
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: she wants.

828
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 2: She's very sure of herself.

829
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: If a man did it, it'd be like, oh, given,

830
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: But when a woman does it, you know, it's it's different.

831
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 4: So they said the same thing on the Poor Minds

832
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 4: podcast about how like how like women usually get the

833
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: people don't really take them as serious.

834
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I appreciate having a man who has my

835
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: bag to say, hey, not say what you need and

836
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: if I'm like yo, Wes, I'm not with it, or

837
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: why didn't he say you know what, I got it.

838
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right. It's never like a.

839
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 4: Matter to like having a really good manager and having

840
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 4: like yeah.

841
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: Different, No, it matters, yeah, because if you don't have that,

842
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: if you're not able to to express yourself, things just

843
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: don't get done the way you need it to. And

844
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: this is this is your business, your brand that you're

845
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: building and that I'm building. And I think it's a

846
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: way to make sure people know that they're appreciated, to

847
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: treat people with respect, but to also demand that respect

848
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: and know that hey, when she comes in, like it's

849
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: time to work, because she's gonna work with us, you know,

850
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: and I always I'm in the field with them, like

851
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm never like, okay different.

852
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 2: Really yeah, I'm sorry.

853
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 4: I'm just because because I recently just over time, like

854
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 4: you know how sometimes you got to get a different

855
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 4: team and stuff. So my last manager was a woman,

856
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: and like she was, she was great, but like I noticed,

857
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: like a lot a lot of times she had to

858
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 4: work a little bit harder, you know, to get things

859
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: done because you know, old women. But my new manager

860
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 4: now is a man, and I just it's just different.

861
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: It's just really it's sad too that like and women

862
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: have to be harder. They have to go harder to

863
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: get that same thing that a man can walk.

864
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 3: In like, oh, yeah, I got this.

865
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm like that's crazy.

866
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to change.

867
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got it.

868
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 2: Right.

869
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: No, seriously, I think for me, one of the biggest

870
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: things that I've had to learn and still learning is

871
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: when you have a good team, you don't have to

872
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: control everything because like I know how one thing's done

873
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: and if it's not done.

874
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 2: A certain way.

875
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 3: I'm very meticulous in.

876
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: Type A, so I'm like, Okay, I hear y'all, I'm trying.

877
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: So I take time to like go away and I

878
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: don't call them. I just make sure you're good, y'all.

879
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: Got everything you need?

880
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: All right?

881
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 3: And I know they'd be like, thank god, go to

882
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 3: Miami and leave.

883
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 2: Us something that means.

884
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 4: That was so me too, like Okay, what's happening, Like

885
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 4: I want to have my hand and everything. But yeah,

886
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 4: when you have a good team, you don't have to,

887
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 4: but you have to because everybody know their role.

888
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they should also learn you to know what

889
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: you will exactly.

890
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not saying take your hands completely off because

891
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: it's still your baby.

892
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 3: And yeah, at the end of the day.

893
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 4: No one.

894
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't care how much they love you and love

895
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: your brand, no one's gonna treat it like you would

896
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: treat it. So it's still like making sure that you're

897
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: on top of it and whatever. I like to make

898
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: sure that I can do what everybody else is doing.

899
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: When we dropped our merch, I think it was in December,

900
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: that's like we got to like, no, I want to

901
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: learn Shopify. I want to learn make sure I know

902

904
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 2: What we're doing.

Speaker 3: I wan to make sure we're doing everything right.

906
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: And I made sure I brought on the right people

907
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: that if I didn't know, they could teach us. But

908
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: if nobody else is here, I know how to pack

909
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: it up and ship it and print it and get

910
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: it out here, you know. And it's yeah, it's so impressed.

911
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 4: It so important because that's where I was in the

912
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 4: beginning of my career, just kind of letting every everybody

913
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,239

Speaker 4: you just be the artist, you just make the good music.

918

Speaker 4: get the people and meet them where they are, be

1098
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,359

1101
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 4: I'm not going to pretend. Like I said, I love

1102

Speaker 2: And not just R and B.

1105
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 4: I want to cross over to other things too, like

1106
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 4: alternative and things. I just like different music. But I

1107
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 4: know for a fact that once I gained that that

1108
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 4: bigger fan base.

1109
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,160

1113
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: even with your music, what is something that you intentionally

1114
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: do to make sure that you're leaving a positive impact

1115
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: on your listeners.

1116
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 2: I feel like I do that more so through my personality,

1117
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 2: and I.

1118
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,200

Speaker 4: maintain a lot of people don't believe in being humble,

1127
