18
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Kids Bop experience. Maddie, let me start with you. You're

19
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.439
<v Speaker 2>from New Jersey, so the entertainment business was farther away

20
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 2>for you than most.

21
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 3>What made you want to perform? Sing? Dance? What inspired you?

22
00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 4>Well?

23
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 5>Always when I was younger, I've always been a dancer

24
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 5>my whole life. But honestly, like seeing videos of tour

25
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 5>and kids Bob has always inspired me, like seeing videos online,

26
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 5>and I've always loved performing on stage for dance, so

27
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 5>that's always been my thing, so i just love doing it.

28
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 5>And now I did my first show on Wembley in

29
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 5>London and it was the coolest thing ever.

30
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 3>So I'm super excited for Tourer.

31
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know the Wimbley experience was something special. You

32
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 2>if I'm have I had this correctly? You said againness

33
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>world record for the youngest performers to perform and perform

34
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 2>sold out Wibley.

35
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Is that correct? Yes, yes, that is pretty amazing.

36
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 4>Leah.

37
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>You're a California kids, so the journey to the entertainment

38
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 2>business may not have been as long. But when did

39
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>you know this was what you wanted to do.

40
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 4>I knew that this is what I wanted to do

41
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 4>when I booked my first job at the age of

42
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 4>six and I told my mom I was playing piano

43
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 4>and I told my mom I was like, I don't

44
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 4>want to do piano anymore. I just want to dance.

45
00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 3>So once I.

46
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 4>Made that decision, I just kept going with it and

47
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 4>now I'm here and I'm just so excited for this

48
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 4>new journey.

49
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 3>Maddie.

50
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 2>Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems kiss Pop

51
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>is a lot of work, a lot of singing, a

52
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of dancing, a lot of recording and touring. How

53
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>do you find time for yourself and when you do,

54
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 2>how do you spend it?

55
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, like, we always have some free time, but everything

56
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 5>we do is always so much fun, Like all the

57
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 5>singing and the dancing. I enjoy it so much. But

58
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 5>when I have free time, I tend to I'm a

59
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 5>very like outside kid, so I love being outside, you know,

60
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 5>playing sports, and I'm always very active.

61
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 3>But I always put most.

62
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 5>Of my time into dance and singing because that's just

63
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 5>what I love to do.

64
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Eleah, you said you booked your first gig at six

65
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 2>years old.

66
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 3>That was a humble brag. I heard that. You just said, Yeah,

67
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 3>I've been doing this for like ten years. I'm a veteran.

68
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.599
<v Speaker 2>But even though you might have been in this business

69
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, you're human like the rest of us.

70
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Do you find yourself maybe when you're on stage at

71
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Wimbley or somewhere else.

72
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 3>Kind of nervous Sometimes.

73
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 4>I can be nerves, but having my best friends around

74
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 4>me just really like calm me down. And I think

75
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 4>just the energy of the fans, just like putting on

76
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 4>a show for them, just makes me really happy and

77
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 4>the nerves just kind of naturally go away.

78
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Maddie, tell me about this Daddy Dance Off.

79
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Are you just laughing at the old folks like me?

80
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Tell the truth?

81
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 5>No, I mean the Daddy Dance Off might be my

82
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 5>favorite part of the show. It's so cool. We get

83
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 5>to bring four dads up on stage and they get

84
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 5>to dance and then there's a little battle, so it's

85
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 5>so cool and all the fans love it. It always

86
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 5>gets the fans up on their feet excited, and they

87
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 5>get to vote, so it's really interactive with the crowd

88
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 5>and it's so so much fun to see the dads

89
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 5>come up on stage and do the move.

90
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Elia take me into that performance even more so. What

91
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>should kids and parents like expect to see.

92
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 4>I think they should expect to see new choreography, new songs. Again.

93
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 4>The Daddy Dance Off is, again, I think the best

94
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 4>part of the show. Yeah, singing and dancing, and I

95
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 4>think they should just expect to have the best night

96
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 4>of their lives.

97
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Maddie Alia talked about choreography, new choreography. There are a

98
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of songs, there's a lot of choreography that you

99
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 2>have to learn and to perfect.

100
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 3>Tell me about that process.

101
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 2>How do you go about practicing individually as a group,

102
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>how does it all come together?

103
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, we actually have two months before we go on

104
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 5>tour in La where we're all there as a group

105
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 5>and we practice and we learned choreo and as a group,

106
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 5>we all love it. It's so much fun for all

107
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 5>of us to be there and train and learn all

108
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.959
<v Speaker 5>the choreography and sing too.

109
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 3>So it's just.

110
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 5>An amazing experience and it's really nice to just all

111
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 5>be together and go through this whole process together.

112
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Alia is something that I've noticed in something that you

113
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>commented on. It's like being on stage with your best friends.

114
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 2>In that type of camaraderie, that type of energy is

115
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 2>not easy to come by. You're not necessarily going to

116
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>like all the people that you work with, going to

117
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>be working with them for months on hand. Why is

118
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 2>it you think that you guys and gals get along

119
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>so well?

120
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 4>When I met all of them, we just clicked and

121
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 4>I think our four different personalities just really mend well

122
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 4>together and our love and passion for what we do

123
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 4>all a line, and I think we just want to

124
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 4>have a great time, and I just love even the

125
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 4>people behind Kids Bop are just great people, such a

126
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 4>great company, and I'm just so grateful that these people

127
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 4>are the people I'm working on.

128
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, This next question is for both of you

129
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 2>because the question may be answered differently. You're getting ready

130
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>to kick off the North American portion of the tour

131
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>for the summer and you'll be performing just about every day.

132
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Are there any places or any specific cities that you're

133
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to visiting?

134
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, for me, it's definitely New Jersey because the shows

135
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 5>we're doing in New Jersey, all my family, all my friends,

136
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 5>and I come be so excited, like looking into the

137
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 5>crowd and seeing all my family, and but I'm excited

138
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 5>for every city just to be able to perform and

139
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 5>meet all the new Kids Bob fans and make everyone happy.

140
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 4>Leah, I excited for Anaheim, Us. It's the Hawndness Center.

141
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 4>I am super super deper excited. All my friends and

142
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 4>family will be there, and yeah, it's my hometown, so

143
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:21.439
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna bring it like we always do.

144
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what's that like then? Leah, let me stay right there.

145
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 2>You're in front of your friends and family. Does that

146
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 2>make it a little more difficult because you have people

147
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>who are coming there.

148
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Just to see you. It would seem to me that

149
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 3>it might be a little more pressure.

150
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure if it's like more pressure, it can

151
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 4>be more nerve wracking. But their support for me is

152
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 4>just out of this world and it just makes me

153
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 4>happy that they're there supporting me because they could just

154
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.120
