1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Hi, guys, I am so excited for you to listen

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: to this week's episode because Julia Michael's is my guest,

00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: which is still crazy to say. Her music help me

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: get through a very hard time with my anxiety last year,

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: and so it just meant a lot that she agreed

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: to come on. UM. This episode was actually recorded in

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: two different sessions. The first one was in person, and

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: then we did a follow up over the phone just

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, since she has a lot

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: of new stuff going on in her life. I hope

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: you guys enjoyed this episode. I'm so happy that you're here.

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here. Last time I spoke to you,

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: it was during the American and I saw you on

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: Inner Monologue Part one tours, and I have to say,

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: I think that was the best concert I've ever been to.

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: I have never cried, laughed, and screamed all in the

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: same concert. That makes me so happy. It was like

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: after the concerts, the weirdest thing. I felt like took

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 1: a big breath in, but it was like a refreshing thing.

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: It was so interesting, like I've never felt that before

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: at a concert. That is the most beautiful thing anyone

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: could ever say to me, so thank you incredible, Like

23
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: it was the most amazing energy. It was just karaoke

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: basically what it was. Now, I'm I really am grateful

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: my my fans are, you know. I like to say that,

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: like you attract like minded people. So if you're a

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: very open, vulnerable, honest person, you're going to attract those open, vulnerable,

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: honest people. And that's the that's the kind of energy

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: that comes to my shows. And that's the kind of

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: energy that I wanted my shows. I want people to

31
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: feel free to have these beautiful cathartic experiences and cry

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: and laugh and scream and like really scream, you know,

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: like I love so therapeutic. Yeah, because it's also a

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: therapeutic for me, you know, Like I love to help people.

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: That's my thing, you know, I'm like, I'm a songwriter.

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: I like I love to help people. So when I

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: get to see I'm helping people in the crowd, like

38
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: they're helping me too. So it's like it's just a

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: full circle thing for me. For those who don't know,

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: you've written for some of the biggest stars. You've written

41
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: for Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Britney, spears and that's just

42
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: a few. So I'm curious, what is it like, you know,

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: writing for so many different artists that have so many

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: different styles, how do you connect to them individually? You know,

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I think I think it's just a personal sort of

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: connection and then the sonics sort of form around what

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: we write. Um, you know, I've I've found that a

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: majority of people all sort of have the same problems,

49
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: and you know, we all think the same things. And

50
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, even if you know, like take heartbreak for example,

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: like it's something that everybody can talk about. The experiences

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: may be different, but it's something that we've all sort

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: of experienced, you know. If it's not love, it's you know,

54
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: losing a friend, it's losing a dog or something like that. Yeah,

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: So there's always something that you can connect to somebody with.

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: So it's easy to sort of crush genres because you can,

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of can you can do that

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: with anybody. Well, before you were your own artists, you

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: work for these people. Was there like a specific moment

60
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm going to be my own artist, I'm

61
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: not gonna be behind the stage anymore and friends center. Yeah, Actually,

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: when I wrote Issues that was like the first time

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: where I was like, m I think I want something. Actually,

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: I had written a song for somebody and I was

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: sort of supposed to be on it, and UM, I

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: wasn't signed to a label at the time, and UM,

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: the label that the song was attached to, decided to

68
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: go with another person, UM to be did it? I did,

69
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: and and UM, yeah, you know, like it wasn't something

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: that I originally wanted. And when they told me, just

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: for political purposes, they wanted someone that was on their

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: label to be a part of the song, I got

73
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: really sad and it made me realize you're like yeah.

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: So I was in a session with a good friend

75
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: of mine, Justin Tranter, and I had been in the

76
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: bathroom for a while and he was like, wow, Julie

77
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: has been gone for about forty five minutes. This is

78
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: not like her. And he knocked on the door and

79
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: and he and I let him in and I was crying,

80
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: and he's like, what's going on? And I was like,

81
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm I'm just like sad. And he

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: was like, well, maybe this is your brain saying you

83
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: know you want something more than you think you do

84
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: when you're just scared. They're just scared of it. And

85
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: so when I wrote Issues, I was like, I'm never

86
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: doing that again. And now you know, now that you've

87
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: wret an issue, I know it's about a breakup. How

88
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: long after you read the song? Did you break up

89
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: with that guy? Because he did not seem like he's

90
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: supported to you the way you're so right? Uh, we

91
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: broke up, Oh dear, we broke but didn't he hear

92
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: the song? And then he was like, oh I'm in trouble. Yes,

93
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: But he wasn't too upset with me because I had

94
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: written it on the on a day where where like

95
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: it was acceptable for him to be like, Okay, I

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: deserve this. You know. It was like one of those

97
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: where it's like I get a pass your paths. Well,

98
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: even in all these songs, do you regret ever, Like,

99
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: do you wish you kept one for? You know? I

100
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: wish that you say that one for yourself. Um. You know,

101
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: there's songs that feel more special to me than others.

102
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: But um, if I'm in the studio with that person

103
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: and even if I love it like that's there's like

104
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm not how do you separate that? Um? You know,

105
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: I guess you could you sort of, don't, you know.

106
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: Writing for other people is my first love. That's like

107
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: something that I started with. And there's something so incredible

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: to me about having somebody that you just meet trust

109
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: you so much to you know, get their thoughts and

110
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: feelings out on paper and and put it together like

111
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: a little puzzle, you know, and then that builds this

112
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: just this beautiful relationship with somebody, and you know, I

113
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: just love that so much. Um so like for me

114
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: writing for someone someone else and you know you and

115
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: if I love the song, it's like, you know, I

116
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: know that you're going to love this song just as

117
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: much as I do, and you're going to do it

118
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: just as much justice if I did. It's given when

119
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: you're your kids for adoption, but you know that your

120
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: kid is going to a good home, you know. So

121
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it's when I came up with the idea for this podcast.

122
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: I was going through a really rough time the school

123
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: and I listened to anxiety. It just came out because

124
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: I everyone was talking about it, and for some reason,

125
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: I just burst it into tears. I was like what

126
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: And I've never felt a connection to lyrics like I

127
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: felt with your music. It's truly incredible. And you know

128
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: there are two songs in particular that especially live, Anxiety

129
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: and Happy. Those songs Live were amazing one. So I'm

130
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: curious that your song Anxiety, which features Selena Gomez. UM,

131
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: I know you've talked openly about you having anxiety. What

132
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: was the story about creating that song in particular? Well,

133
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: when I was about nineteen now, I used to have

134
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: panic attacks every day. Panic attacks are the worst thing. Yeah,

135
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: They're terrifying, and I used to have them all the time,

136
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: literally like everyday fetal position. I thought like if I

137
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: stopped rocking, I yeah, I would pass out or like

138
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: something would happen to me. Do you feel like the

139
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: word Like when I've had it before, it feels like

140
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: like things are just like closing in like that you

141
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: feel like claustrophobic. My hands shake, Mike gets sweaty, Like

142
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: it's the weirdest feeling. It's bizarre, and it's like all

143
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: in your mind. It's so wild, And um, I was

144
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: having them so much, and you know, I always try

145
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: to be really honest with everybody, you know, like about

146
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: how I'm feeling and what I'm going through. And I

147
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: always knew I wanted to write a song about anxiety.

148
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: And I think it just took being in the right

149
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: place with the right people and me feeling comfortable to

150
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: talk about it with those people. And you know, I

151
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: wanted it to be sort of like, um, I didn't

152
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: want it to be were heavy, you know, I almost

153
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: wanted it to be like slightly comedic, like because like,

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, I just sort of wanted to like laugh

155
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: at myself, like I am that kind of person that

156
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: will like get ready and and then like no, I

157
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: don't want to go. And then like I see all

158
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: my friends out having a good time. It's like they

159
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: went without me. Yeah, I mean like and it's like,

160
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: why are you doing that? You're so ridiculous. You were invited,

161
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: So like I just wanted to like talk about those

162
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: silly things that you do when you have anxiety, and

163
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: like it's it seems like a big deal in the

164
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: moment when you look back, like this is comedic. It

165
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: doesn't logically make sense. It doesn't. Okay your first verse,

166
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: can you sing it so people can know it or

167
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: I can read it? Okay, it's my I just try

168
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: to be social. I make all these friends with friends

169
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: with plans and hope they call and canceled. Then I

170
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: overthink about the things I'm missing now I'm wishing I

171
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: was with them. To a logical person, that does not

172
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: make sense at all. But the person you're like, oh,

173
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: I totally get that. That's been there, done that. That

174
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: line like it's it depicts it so perfectly. Thank you.

175
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. But why wouldn't you just go out?

176
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Did it just like did it just like come out

177
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: like out of like it was so easy to write?

178
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: Were those lines hard to you know, figure out? No,

179
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: it sort of was pieced together pretty fast. I think

180
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: because it's something that I deal with on a daily basis.

181
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: We were just sort of talking about and all and

182
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: the people that I wrote it with two are like

183
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: highly neurotic, So I think, like it's just a perfect

184
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: It just like made it so easy for us to

185
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: just like go back and forth with things that we

186
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: do on a daily basis that we're we just like

187
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: why do we do those things? How would you describe

188
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: anxiety to someone who doesn't have it? It's sort of

189
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: feels like, well, you know, everybody experiences anxiety completely different,

190
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: but for me, um, it's sort of feels like an

191
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: earthquake that just won't stop, like and and almost like

192
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: there's like a million natural disasters going on in your

193
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: body and there's no cure for it, like you have

194
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: no idea how to fix it, and it's it can

195
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: be so overwhelming. But I'm not going to therapy and

196
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: it changed my life. Same. Yeah, Okay, I think it's

197
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: so underrated. It's so underrated, and I think people are

198
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: afraid to go because it makes them think they're crazy. Yes,

199
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, like there's something wrong with them. But it's

200
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: the opposite because you're just wanting to better yourself. What

201
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: strategies that have you learned that have helped you? I

202
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: have learned mostly to talk myself out of things. Um.

203
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: That's hard to do, especially when you're in your own head.

204
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to do. UM. Like when I get really

205
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: anxious before I go on stage or something, you know,

206
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: I go, Okay, why am I nervous? Or like, why

207
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: do I feel like this? It's probably because you know,

208
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: like X, Y and Z from when I was eight

209
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: and that was then and that's not now and I'm

210
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: okay now, you know, or like if I've been doing

211
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: so much and I'm just like super anxious, Like why

212
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, okay, I haven't slept, blah blah blah blah. Okay,

213
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm I need to let my people know that I

214
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: need a second to sleep and take a breather and

215
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: then I can, you know, come about this much better,

216
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: you know. So it's yeah, I've learned a lot of

217
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: like little baby coping mechanisms. Yeah. I feel like those

218
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: are the little things that help you get through the day.

219
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 1: I think of anxiety is like, okay, like when you

220
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: have it, like you always have it such to some degree.

221
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: I think I think of it like a glass of

222
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: water and the waters like half filled, and that's just

223
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: it being moderate. When something that makes you anxious, it's

224
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: like the water overflows and it comes out, and that's

225
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: the anxiety. And that's an anxiety. It's like that's how

226
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: my picture, and that's a that's a really good, good

227
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: mental picture. Right. I feel like, okay, it's really good.

228
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: Do you remember the first time you ever experienced it? Um?

229
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: You know, I was about seventeen. I had just signed

230
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: my first publishing deal, and I think I experienced like

231
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: this immense pressure to perform and um, and then the

232
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: more songs that I had written for other people. The

233
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: more pressure I started to put on myself because I

234
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I feel like people are looking

235
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: at me a certain way and they know I can

236
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: write a certain thing, and if I don't go in

237
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: there and I don't do what they're expecting, like, am

238
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: I like, am I gonna ever work again? Am I

239
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: going to be able to ever write a good song again?

240
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, and I it just overwhelmed me

241
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: so much that I just started having them all the time.

242
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: For someone who's debating on going to therapy, what do

243
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: you say to them? Go seriously? Yeah, no, literally if

244
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 1: if you like, you know, it takes somebody with a

245
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: lot of courage and a lot of self awareness to

246
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: be like, you know, I think I really need to

247
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: talk to somebody. My dad actually was like super against therapy,

248
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: super against it, and I think that's a generational thing.

249
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: And um, when he saw just like how much it

250
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: changed me, it actually it made him want to go.

251
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: So he started going to therapy and it it opened

252
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: up his mind about so many from things. And you know,

253
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: now he does the same thing. He'll talk himself through

254
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: things and stuff like that, and I just think it's

255
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: super insightful It helps you figure out who you are

256
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: and why you have, you know, these problems that you

257
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: deal with on a daily basis, And I think it's beautiful. Yeah,

258
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: I think I completely agree with you. You did a

259
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Cosmopologan interview UM and he talked about how m you

260
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to live your life in fear and you

261
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: want to try things. And I'm sure, is there one

262
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: thing that you're still like fearful of that you just

263
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: haven't got the courage to you quite yet? For a

264
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: long time? Performing was that for me? But you I

265
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, conquering your fears, man, it's the thing. You know.

266
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: When I saw you on stage during the toy it

267
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: was just like you could see how happy where it

268
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: was genuine. Well, you know, I've I've found with performing

269
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: that the thing that makes me feel really calm is

270
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: when people sting with me. So that concert must have

271
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: been everyone say like those those moments for me are

272
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: just like Okay, I can breathe now, you know, Like,

273
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a big part of me that feels

274
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: like what if they don't like I feel very like

275
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: alone and isolated and like they're trying to figure out

276
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: if they like me or not. And that can be

277
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: like so scary. It's like a blind date with six people.

278
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, that's actually what it is. Yeah, oh my god,

279
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: that must be terrifying, be really scary. But then when

280
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: you see everyone singing with you, you're just like, Okay,

281
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: they liked me. So, like, I know you got over

282
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: your fear, and I know you talked about how you

283
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: had it in a panic attack at the Billboard. Ward,

284
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: how did you how did you get back on stage

285
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: after that? Because like, I don't know if I could

286
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: have done that, because like that just seems it's, you know,

287
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: the worst thing to overcome. I have run away, I've

288
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: hidden in staircases. People have had to try and hunt

289
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: me down before performances that after the Billboard Yeah, um,

290
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: but you know you just keep trying again, you know,

291
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: like I want to conquer fears. I don't want to

292
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: be afraid, you know. I think that's a big part

293
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: of anxiety. It's it's just all based on fear and

294
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: also the fear of yeah, of course, And and I

295
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: think also people are always afraid to to reach their

296
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: full potential, so they'll you know, sabotage things, so they'll

297
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: create problems in their heads. That aren't there, and you

298
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: know all that stuff, and I just have always wanted

299
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: to conquer fears. I don't want to live in fear.

300
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons why your music is

301
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: so relatable to so many people because you know, you

302
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: don't try away from stigmas. You talk about everything mental health,

303
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, anxiety, depression, sex, all of it, and I

304
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: think you just normalize it in a fun way. So

305
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: in a lot of songs you talk about love and heartbreak.

306
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I'm sixteen, never been in love. I love

307
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: the idea of it. How would you describe it love?

308
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: Oh boy? You could just because I just want to

309
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: imagine it, like close your eyes, can imagine what it is, okay, okay.

310
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Imagine going on a roller coaster, okay, okay, and you're

311
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: about to like get up to the drop like it's coming,

312
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my gosh, like this is happening.

313
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't I'm a little scared, but like I know

314
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: this is probably gonna be really fun and blah blah blah.

315
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: And then when you drop, instead of like that like

316
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: horrible like throw up feeling, you feel like butterflies, like

317
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: like going through your whole body and like all of

318
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: a sudden, like weird hearts are like flying out of

319
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: your eyes and you're just like, this is just the magic,

320
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: like magical feeling on the planet. You should write a

321
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: song called roller Coaster and it should just be that

322
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: totally honestly, maybe their love is a little bit like

323
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: roller coaster, lots of lots of twist and turns. Do

324
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: you remember the first time you ever experienced love? Um? Yeah,

325
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: I was probably around eighteen, I think. And I met

326
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: my first boyfriend who worked at a coffee shop and

327
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: he was making my latte. That's how it always started, right,

328
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: It's such a move, it's so l a. It's like

329
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: such a movie, a movie about it, right, Um yeah.

330
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: And I met him when I was eighteen, and and yeah,

331
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: we broke up when I was twenty. Is that your

332
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: first heartbreak was my first? No, not really. I think

333
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: my first heartbreak, my first real real heartbreak, came after that.

334
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: I was like super in love with someone for three years,

335
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: which is the guy wrote issues about. And I think

336
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: when we broke up, that was the one that was

337
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: like I can't get out of bad, I can't sleep,

338
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 1: I can't eat, I can't do anything, and that one

339
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: was pretty crushing. Did your heart actually hurt me a heartbreak? Yes?

340
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the closest thing to like to grief,

341
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: like losing somebody, only you have to see them around

342
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: with their new girlfriend. Like definitely. It's one of the

343
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: deepest pains I think you can you can, you can

344
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: feel but worth it because love is great. So you

345
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: wrote us on body, which I think it is so

346
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: vulnerable and beautiful and I'm curious people at all ages

347
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: are self conscious with themselves. How do you get through it?

348
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: And how do you love? Oh, that's a good question.

349
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: It's a deep question. Um. You know that's something that

350
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: I still struggle with every day. I think with social

351
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: media culture and makes it really easy to be insecure.

352
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, you click on your suggested posts and it's

353
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: a model in turks and cacos, and you're just like,

354
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: I don't look like that, and I know that like

355
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: this kind of person or whatever like likes that or

356
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: wants that, and I'm not that. And you know there's

357
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: things that like, you know and mean girls. Have you

358
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: seen mean girls? You know when they're like looking in

359
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: the mirror and they're like, oh, like my nail beds suck,

360
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: and you're like, my thighs are bad, right like you

361
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: you over analyze every part of your body. And you know,

362
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: I I wrote it because I was just like I

363
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: can't be the only one that like completely picks myself apart,

364
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, And and I do do the things like

365
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: in the second verse, it says, you know, um, like

366
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I don't let you go out with your friends.

367
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: And it's like, so I put a sweatshirt on because

368
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: you gave up, um watch TV still in your makeup,

369
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: and you stayed in it until you waked up. You

370
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: wiped it off and we made up. And it's like,

371
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, you in that like toxic inner turmoil with yourself.

372
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: And that's something I definitely do all the time. Um.

373
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: But you know, I think the thing that really helps

374
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: is not being on social media. I think social media

375
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: really makes you question lots of things, like things you're

376
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: doing in your life and the things that you eat,

377
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: and the things and like the way that you look.

378
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: And I think it helps. How do you think social

379
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: media plays a role in anxiety and all that? I

380
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: think it plays a huge because for me, I think

381
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: so too. I know a lot people that are really depressed,

382
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: um because of social media. You know, like they see

383
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: their friends doing, you know, some sort of amazing something

384
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: and they're not a part of it. Or like they

385
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: see their friends with their other friends and they're out

386
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: at a party or something like why was I not invited?

387
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: Am I not good enough to like hang out with people?

388
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: And you know, it's like there's so many things that

389
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: it contributes to that I think, I completely agree can

390
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: be very negative. And the thing is, especially with snatch,

391
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't think Snapchat has talked about enough, especially teens

392
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: and like young people. Um is that snap maps you

393
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: can do? You know what? Like snap maps you can

394
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: share your location so people you can see where anyone is,

395
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: so you can see you in the last time someone

396
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: is on. So let's say someone snatchats you and you

397
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: snatch with them, like, hey, h do you want to

398
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: hang out? You can if you go on snap maps

399
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: and there are locations on you could see that these

400
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: two people are together in this moment and they're on

401
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: their phone and they're not responding to horrifying? How toxic?

402
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: Is that? Horrifying? That is so horrified? I feel like

403
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: that part isn't talked about enough because like it's creepy,

404
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: like you can see people's locations. Obviously you can turn

405
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: it off, but people choose to have it on and

406
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: you can see so and so and so and so

407
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: are together. They were on their phone two minutes ago,

408
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: you sent that five minutes ago, so they definitely saw

409
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: they're not responding. It's that endless cycle. I just have

410
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: to shut it. Or like when you're when you check

411
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: your d MS on Instagram and you respond to someone

412
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: and it's seen, its like respond but knowing that they

413
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: saw in their not responding. Oh, it's the worst, so

414
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: so much anxiety. It's so bad, especially like it's someone

415
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: you talked to or whatever comments on your photo and

416
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: they don't follow, and you were there, why didn't you follow?

417
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: It's like it's that toxic even that you know. It's

418
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: like people like can check how many followers they have

419
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: every day and like they get like so consumed over like, oh,

420
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: this picture didn't get as many likes as this picture.

421
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: Why didn't that happen? Okay, I'm going to delete it.

422
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: I've done that. It's so hard to get not get

423
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: in that cycle. So what I did actually did this

424
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: last week? I turned off my notifications because I was

425
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: just I posted them and I was like, you know what.

426
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: I talked to my brother about it. It's like Mark, like,

427
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Like people aren't seeing this.

428
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: He goes, why do you care? Do you like the photo? Like? Yeah,

429
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: he goes, keep it up, Like who cares? More like it?

430
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: I think social media's pros and cons. Yeah, you know,

431
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: like I get to talk to people all over the world.

432
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: I get to, you know, really connect with people from everywhere,

433
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: and you know, most of the time when I do

434
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: meet and greets, I know a majority of them by

435
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: name because I run all my socials and I talked

436
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: to all my Twitter fans all the time, you know,

437
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: So that part of it is amazing. And I think

438
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: you've definitely your community that you've built. It's definitely I

439
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: think a group of just non judgment of people that

440
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: it's I think it's so beautiful. I think that energy

441
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: just like a resonate, especially at the concert. You know,

442
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: I've seen you on social media and you love drawing.

443
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: I love drawing too, So we are going to draw

444
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: a few shirts and then maybe one of your fans

445
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: will win them. That sounds super fun. I'm really down

446
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: for that. We have an option of hats and shirts

447
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: whichever you'd like. We have markers, many colors. Let me

448
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: do the hat. Okay, I'll do a hat with you.

449
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the hat. Yeah. We have some fabric markers.

450
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: Julia is choosing pink. I think I'm gonna go for blue. Um. Yeah,

451
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. What are you gonna draw? Um? I

452
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I like drawing, like these little doodle characters. Okay,

453
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: I might, I might do that. Okay, I feel like

454
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: we should switch halfway, so then we could do one

455
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: half one half and I'm super dunblant and we can

00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: like therapeutic for me. It's fun and I get inspiration

488
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: from it. Like what where do you get inspirations? Um?

489
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: You know, I get a lot of my inspiration through conversation.

490
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, listening to people. And I

491
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: know some people that get like inspired by going on

492
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: road trips, are going to a cafe and sitting down,

493
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, somewhere and you know that kind of thing.

494
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of my inspiration comes from

495
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: relationships and just listening to people. It's so therapeutic. I

496
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: feel like marthy Craft is so underrated. Agreed. What's the

497
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: best advice you've ever received? Um? I think the best advice,

498
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: which is so interesting now that I think about it,

499
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: was from um it was from Chester, from Lincoln Park.

500
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: He would tell me not to take things too seriously

501
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: and to have fun, which is I received. Have fun. Yeah,

502
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: not take life too seriously. I think that's you know,

503
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: I think means even more to me now. Yeah, you know,

504
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: I have a deep question for you. Go for so

505
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: years to come and you've created many more albums, probably

506
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: when if your Grammy's how would you like to be

507
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: known as an artist. Um, I think I'd like to

508
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: be known as someone that's sort of stuck to her guns.

509
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: Was always like always try to you know, be honest

510
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: and open and um, you know, I just want to

511
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: be authentic. I think I think that's the most dumb.

512
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: I think you're doing that. Well, thank you very much.

513
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: I try very much. I try. Okay, I think I'm done. Okay,

514
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: do you want to switch sides? Yeah? Okay, I think

515
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: I've think I've I've done it. I did some color

516
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: and hearts and smiley faces. Oh my goodness, Julia, I

517
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: feel like this could be another career for you. I

518
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,480

519
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: with those I think you should, which I'm pretty excited about.

520
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: What's okay? What's your spirit in all? I feel like

521
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: my spirit animal would be like a person. Do you

522
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: know who Goldie Hawn is? Of course? Okay, I think

523
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: Goldie Hawn is my spirit? Well, how did you come

524
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,280

525
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: and like and she's just really spunky and I just

526
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: love that about her. I just I just I think

527
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: Goldie Haunt is my spirit. No, I wish. Okay, if

528
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: you met her, what would you say? Um? I would

529
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: tell her that her and her me and her daughter

530
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: getting mistaken for each other. Um, and that I'm pretty

531
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: sure I'm related to her and some I really wouldn't

532
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: surprise me. I think that's so interesting. Yeah, she's so awesome.

533
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: What would you tell your younger Nothing? I just see

534
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: what happens, you know. I feel like if I had

535
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: advice when I was a kid, I one't have made

536
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: the mistakes that I've made, and my path would be

537
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: completely different. So I I don't think I would tell

538
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: my my younger self anything. I think I just let

539
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: myself learn. I think everything sort of happens for a reason.

540
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: But I'm sort of glad that I've learned how I've

541
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: learned the way that I've learned it. Okay, I'm done.

542
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: This is really cute. We've we've done it. We've done it.

543
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: We've done good. That's so beautiful and we've did it.

544
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: So if you want to see what it looks like,

545
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,240

548
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: has music changed your life question. Oh my gosh, no,

549
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Um, music has changed my life in so

550
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: many ways. I mean, for me, it's it's an outlet

551
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: of expression. Um, you know, I've I tend to be

552
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: a very non confrontational person. So for me, you know,

553
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: writing is just as cathartic for me now as performing is.

554
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: And um, I mean, music is such a huge part

555
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: of my life. I don't even know what I would

556
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: do without it. Would you ever write a book? Oh?

557
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, See I always I always think about, um,

558
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: like there's so many different types of writing, but but book,

559
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have the capacity to write

560
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: a book because I'm as your writing is so like

561
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: well beautiful the way that I write, I guess, like

562
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: so like movies. I love to watch movies, Like I

563
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: like watching movies sometimes more than I like watching shows,

564
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: because I like that it's like everything sort of condensed

565
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: into one like two our movie. And I think it's

566
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: because my brain has been trained to write, you know,

567
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: like a certain amount of sentences and then into a

568
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: song and you know it's like it's three minutes, but

569
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: it takes you know, it can take sometimes six hours

570
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: to write and you know that three minutes has to

571
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: be impact full enough to make a statement, which is

572
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: the same thing as a movie. You know, you get

573
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: two hours to tell the story, and it tried to

574
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: make some sort of impactful statement. Um, so like for me,

575
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: that's how I don't know. I don't know. Music is

576
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: just amazing. It's just amazing and it's changed everything about

577
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: my life. Well, I don't know, have you ever seen

578
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: Hamilton's I haven't yet, Okay, but book, I don't know.

579
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: Have you musical probably that I would love to try,

580
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: But book. Have you listened to the Hamilton sound check? Yes? Okay,

581
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: so you know brilliant it is. Oh, I mean I

582
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: feel like you should. I could totally see you and

583
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: lit my mom, we're into the creator that doing. Like though,

584
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: that collaboration I feel like would be incredible. I've never

585
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: attempted to do musical, but that's something that I feel

586
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: like in the future. Yeah, she did Waitress and I

587
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 1: actually saw Waitress and it was super super good. And um,

588
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: I've seen like Deer Evan Hansen, which is like the

589
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: best musical I think I've ever seen. No musical I

590
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: would totally do. That was my initial conversation with Julia

591
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: from late last year, and she is simply the best.

592
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: Since then, she's had a lot going on and I

593
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: wanted you to hear about it directly from her, So

594
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: we caught up on the phone just a couple of

595
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: days ago. We talked about what's to come in her

596
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: dream claps and falling in love. One of the biggest

597
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: things that's changed since we talked last is that you

598
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: found love. Yeah, that's so weird, dude. Okay, so you

599
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: wrote a lot about your toxic relationships and now you're

600
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: freaking in love in a healthy relationship. What is that

601
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: difference like and has your songwriting changed? It's super different. Um.

602
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: It's funny because a lot of the topics that I

603
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: usually right, I just can't and I'm just like, who

604
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: am I now? No? But it's it's wonderful, you know.

605
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: You you sort of adapt your you sort of adapt

606
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: yourself to your surroundings. And when you're in a constant

607
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: state of toxicity, that's just sort of where you think

608
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: you're always meant to live. And then you meet somebody

609
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: that completely changes your mind about everything, and you had

610
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: no idea that it could even be that lovely and

611
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: it's it's such a it's such a it's such a

612
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: mind fuck in a great way. I don't mean to cuss,

613
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: but it is. It's such a mind fuck in a

614
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: great way. I can only imagine. And also you get

615
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: to sing with him too, and you have a song

616
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: with him, so thats so when you perform it, that

617
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: just must make it so much more special. It does,

618
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: and it makes it that much more special because I've

619
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: definitely done songs with other x is in the past,

620
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: and this one like just feels right different. It just

621
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: feels different, and it's great. And I hope he doesn't

622
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: break up with me. I'm sure because you were a

623
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 1: literal angel. Oh thanks, my love. So okay, not only

624
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: has twenty story, but you also just released a song

625
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: with Diblo heartless I did. You are a busy, busy woman.

626
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: I try, I try, Sammy. I mean, I can only imagine.

627
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: How many songs have you written so far in twenty twenty.

628
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know, probably about We're only one month in,

629
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: I know, so that's crazy. I toured for seven months

630
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: last year and I didn't really get the chance to

631
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: be home and and write and just be in my

632
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: zone and now I'm not touring this year so far,

633
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: and I'm just home and I'm writing and I'm and

634
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: I just it feels good. It feels good to just

635
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: be back with all my friends and just creating again.

636
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: So I want to just be in the studio as

637
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: much as possib but while I can. Okay, so you're

638
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: writing a lot. Could there be music coming or an

639
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: Internet three or a new album. I don't know if

640
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a Part three. I hope I'm

641
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: going to do an album. I don't know what I'm

642
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna do, but I'm definitely gonna put out some more

643
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: music and and just you know, like you try new things,

644
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: you know, just be expansive with my creativity. Yeah. One

645
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: of my goals is to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Yes,

646
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: I love that. So what's one thing that you want

647
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: to do that you haven't done in that either makes

648
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: you anxious or you want to push yourself to do.

649
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: I think I want to push myself to kind of

650
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: do more genres. I think doing this country pop song

651
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: with Morgan and Diplow has been so cool, and I

652
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: love just the combining of worlds. I think it's so

653
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: much fun. And you know, we're in a time where

654
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: we can do those things. We can, you know, push

655
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: the boundary reason, say what we want and and blend

656
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: all kinds of different sounds and perspectives. And I think

657
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: that's so fun. So I think, I think is going

658
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: to be just the year of of trying different things

659
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: in different sounds and different genres with people that I love. Okay,

660
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: So to put it on the universe dream collab, Um

661
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: dream collab, I think probably Chance the Rapper or Rosalia.

662
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I that would be incredible. I would

663
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: die or both at the same time. Imagine Sammy, Holy

664
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: sh it, wait start writing. I'll start writing a picture

665
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: to that. I need to manifest. To Sammy, I need

00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,359
