Now that I'm 16 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.840 back in La, I've been in Miami soaking up all 17 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:38.880 the Latin vibes. 18 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.439 I'm jealous. I'm you know, I'm meaning a tammy. I 19 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.799 don't have any sun La. It's been quite gloomy, so 20 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.280 I apologize for coming back. 21 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:45.960 And it's not so. 22 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.159 No, no, it's so sexy there too, and I'm just like, 23 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:51.439 it's funny because some of my friends came to visit 24 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:52.280 and they're like, what should I wear? 25 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.840 I'm like, girl, you always wear hills and it's like 26 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.399 it's like it's like micro bikinis. It's like you cover ups, 27 00:00:58.439 --> 00:00:59.960 like it's really like and then even when you do, 28 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.920 you pack, you have way too many clothes anyways, because. 29 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.200 It's exactly because all the things that I ever wear 30 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:06.480 is basically bikinis. 31 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.959 Occasionally it rains, so whatever. But if you got a flaw, 32 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.840 it poll it. Get it. Girl. So how is it 33 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.840 the difference between you know, being with a label and 34 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.680 then now being independent? What are you know some of 35 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.040 the difference that she's that you've seen. Are you really 36 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.079 excited to be in these you know, being independent now? 37 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:22.560 I am excited. 38 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.640 I mean I feel like I've always because people have 39 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.040 asked me this, so like do you did you have 40 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:26.920 a voice back then? 41 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.359 Like could you like do your own stuff? Did you? 42 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.120 Were you a part of it? I've always been a 43 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.280 part of it. But for me, it's just like from 44 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.400 the ground up, it's like that that that hustle. 45 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.719 That grind, that like almost kind of not working backwards, 46 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.000 but in a sense it's like kind of like picking 47 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.000 yourself back up and like you know, like look i'm're 48 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.000 still here, I'm still talented, I'm still doing all these things. 49 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.760 Like you know, it's like it's one of those things 50 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.159 where it's like you know again, like being an entrepreneur 51 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.319 one and then being an artist. It's so many different 52 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.280 facets that you don't really get to go to in 53 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.760 these avenues because you've been with a label or you know, 54 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.959 and sometimes it takes you to lanes, but sometimes you 55 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.280 just don't really know where I go. 56 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.640 I feel it like it like for me, I take 57 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.240 it as lessons learned. I mean, just being sixteen and 58 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.879 being signed was incredible, you know, seeing the world. 59 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.000 At a very young age. Give it up to you 60 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.879 just because in the sense it's like, hey, don't you 61 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.639 know it's it's such a huge accomplishment happened for yourself, 62 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:19.400 right of course, you know if you don't, if you're 63 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:20.960 not your biggest clader, then who else? How are you 64 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.360 gonna start that? Oh? I definitely am. 65 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.080 I think it's a scorpio in me too, though I'm 66 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.240 very like I want to push other people to see 67 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.759 their potential too, because I see mine and I'm so 68 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:32.919 like gun ho about this is what I'm gonna do, 69 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.680 This is how I'm gonna do it. And I think 70 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.800 that's why I did get signed at a young age, 71 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.759 because I was so like into singing and I was like, 72 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.240 you know, I want to be a singer. 73 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:42.199 That's what I'm gonna do. 74 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.759 And I just put it out there and kept going 75 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.000 and going and manifestation. 76 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:47.240 I'm a big believer into that. 77 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.439 I'm making into energies and like what you really put 78 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.319 your energy to, you know, you can make anything really happen. Sure, 79 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.319 so did you know early on that you always wanted 80 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.080 to be a singer, so you knew, you know, you 81 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.439 obviously got signed at sixteen, Like yeah, how did that 82 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.879 like fundamental stage start? Did you you know, out the 83 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.639 womb and you're singing or like did you have your 84 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.840 parents pretty background? Did you have you know, family influences. 85 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.400 I wish I had more influences in my family. I 86 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.960 will say my dad's side of the family, they were 87 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.879 musicians and like at the Hano band. 88 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:14.800 So that was cool. 89 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.919 But nobody's saying my mom doesn't sing, my dad doesn't sing. 90 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.360 My oldest sister she dabbled in it, but like no 91 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:21.439 one sings. 92 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.280 Really took it to the lengths that you kind of did. Yeah, 93 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.719 but maybe that's you know, exactly where you're supposed to be. 94 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.719 Like those were all like little you know, etches of 95 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.840 what your family, you know, generational is what it was. 96 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.879 But now it's like you're the one who's bringing it home. Yeah, said, 97 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.560 I like that, And I'm from Texas, so I always support. Yeah, 98 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.639 everything's bigger in Texas. You always get that Southern live. 99 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:41.840 I think I think so too. 100 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.800 I feel like people's hearts and Texas are just different, 101 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.360 you know. And I love when I meet somebody that's 102 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.840 not from Texas too, because I'm like, you see, they're 103 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.639 not going to get no bullshit for me, like, are 104 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.680 sure who I am? Like, I'm not faking who I 105 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.080 am like, and they're. 106 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.199 Just like, Wow, you're so genuine, You're so real. 107 00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.280 I want to be your best friend. I'm like, okay, 108 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:00.639 well let's. 109 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.280 See how you do that. Last And it was just 110 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.400 because the people, you know, people say they like honesty, 111 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.639 but people really don't. And that's you know, being one 112 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.840 thing from Texas. And I wasn't you know, really aware 113 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.000 of how much like the straight shooter I really was 114 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:12.800 until coming to LA and being in you know, a 115 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.399 business mode. Was that I'm like, I'm just telling you 116 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.399 how I would talk to anybody. I'm not talking to 117 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.040 you any different, you know what I mean, Like, it's 118 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.560 all accordingly to what's going on. 119 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.959 Well, I think being a woman too in general, when 120 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.120 we speak, we have to speak in a certain way 121 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.560 and we have to be understanding. 122 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.360 And I'm starting to learn that now. 123 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.199 I'm like, pH uh uh yeah anymore, I'm not just 124 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.839 gonna be there and. 125 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.839 Take the shit. I think I've kind of like was 126 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.120 always that person. That's why maybe I went into the 127 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.199 adult side of the entertainment and I was just like, 128 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.000 look at me here I am. I know what I'm 129 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.160 good at, and I know what sells, and I know 130 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:47.600 you know what it is. So for me was very 131 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.800 I never knew back then like what my not necessarily 132 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.439 would say my talent, but kind of in a sense, 133 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:54.800 what my talent really was. But I knew I was 134 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.079 supposed to be entertainment. I knew people were gonna have 135 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:57.800 my name in their mouth. 136 00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.639 I just didn't know how or why. 137 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.600 And a Lexis Texas was born. 138 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.319 So yeah, so and again, sexuality is a big thing 139 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.079 for me, especially right now. I just did a song 140 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.959 called Freaky and it's like celebrating boldness. It's celebrating like 141 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.079 women who find other women attractive kind of thing. And 142 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.360 it's like it's there's so many girls that are just like, 143 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.160 oh my gosh, I just think she's so pretty, but 144 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.000 I would never and I'm like, just be free. But 145 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.720 I also do know that that society puts restrictions on people. 146 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:26.519 Agreed. 147 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:27.879 I think that, I mean everybody. 148 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:29.680 For me, I've always in a sense, I've known that, 149 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.800 especially again going you go back to going from Texas 150 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.199 in college and everything like that. Like I remember, you know, 151 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.879 when being drunk with your girlfriends and like you're kissing girls. 152 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.600 But then like the next day they're like, that didn't happen, 153 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.920 but there's pictures, but they're like, that didn't happen. I'm like, Okay, 154 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.560 it didn't happen to you, but I knew it happened. 155 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.000 Not that I needed to go any further than that 156 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.839 because it was a drunk moment, yeah, But as far 157 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.920 as the shutting down of like something happened, not talking 158 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.399 about it and putting it away, and that's just what 159 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.360 it is. And now I feel like, what's really cool 160 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.560 about the generational like what we're in right now, is, 161 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.720 so it's so liberating and it's not like you're not 162 00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.959 just put in well, you shouldn't be able to put 163 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.199 or in one little like. 164 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.800 It should like the label stuff like there shouldn't be 165 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.800 a label either. It's kind of crazy to me because 166 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.959 I have a lot of fans that are you know, 167 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:10.480 my gay fans are the best. 168 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.480 And I love gay gay guys. 169 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.319 I feel like they just give me such good energy 170 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:15.800 and they're just who they are, you know. 171 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:16.279 Yeah. 172 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.399 And I had a really good friend from Texas and 173 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.839 he finally came out to me. I never forced it 174 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.519 out of him because I didn't want to be like, hey, are. 175 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.680 You you know what you always kind of new kind 176 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.199 of thing. No people would tell me, are you sure 177 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.600 you don't you don't think? I'm like, I don't know. 178 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.639 I see him with these hot girls. He's always telling 179 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.720 me like we're going out of dates. So I thought 180 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.399 whatever he said was what he said.

They take 206 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:28.399 me back to a time and a place. We were 207 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.800 talking about this earlier. How you just you're back in 208 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.560 that moment and you're just like, Wow, this is what 209 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.199 I was doing, this is who I was with, this 210 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.920 is what was you know, seeing in the world. And 211 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.480 they're such great songs, and what's crazy is like it's 212 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.120 hard to top those songs like walk Aways still being 213 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.160 played by people doing too much is still people's favorite song, 214 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.560 and just the album in general. So right now I'm 215 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.839 working on an album and I feel like I just 216 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.040 want to add more of my mature self into it, 217 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.279 but also give them a little nostalgic. 218 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.639 So I don't know nostalgic, Which are those songs that's 219 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.480 your favorite song?

It was really young going on. So 225 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.759 how does those, you know, big accolades feel for you 226 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.319 as an artist? 227 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.680 Very surreal, especially when you're that age, and you don't 228 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.600 realize till after. I'm like, I look at it now, 229 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.879 I'm like, wow, I have a gold plaque. That's amazing, 230 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:29.680 Like that is amazing, not true. 231 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.600 I want to be at that every day and we're like, yes, girl, 232 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:32.200 that's gold. 233 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.600 People come in to get maintenance and I swear they're 234 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.440 staring at it. I'm like, oh my gosh. 235 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.000 But I don't know. 236 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.320 I just feel like, in general, I've really grown as 237 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:48.799 an artist, even vocally, because then I was so green, 238 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.399 I guess you could say, and I never had really lessons. 239 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.559 I just took opera for two years, so that kind 240 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.039 of helped me with breathing techniques. Now I just really 241 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.279 I watch a lot of people online and I see 242 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.440 how they sing, and I see the placement of their 243 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.440 tongue and all these different things that I never thought 244 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.600 about before I would just sing. 245 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:06.720 So do you look at those people and like, then 246 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.879 you not emulate, but you that helps you as an 247 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.960 artist yourself and you show them doing them?
