So I might say 64 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.759 I'm sad this person writes it this way, but it 65 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.800 still expresses me. So it's like that song has been 66 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.520 taken down by a couple of people emotions together on 67 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.199 a record. That's what she showed me about, like writing 68 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.919 with other people. Let the song go through a bunch 69 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.960 of people. So we're all in a room and we 70 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.479 all just attack the song and it blends. And that's 71 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.680 how they wrote the record for me, and that's how. 72 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.639 We both crediting our first No, it's. 73 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.840 So fun because you want up for me. I want 74 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.879 to jump in, I want to learn this. I want 75 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.639 to learn how to write. These people work for like 76 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.719 Patti LaBelle, and they got names like the R and 77 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.520 B people, And I'm like, oh yeah, if you're write 78 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.479 it for them, show me how to sing, show me 79 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.919 how to do this. So I think that's why Macy 80 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.599 gravitates to me, and she's a virgo. So I've been 81 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.599 having virgos around me lately, see. 82 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.080 What I mean. Yes, that's another one. 83 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.680 I forgot to say earlier, Like I just have good 84 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.120 people around so you learn so much from them, like 85 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.400 the way she structures music and stuff. So she's like, 86 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.159 let these people write for you, and I'm like, okay, 87 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.080 show me. So it wasn't intimidating. It's more of like 88 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.159 wanting to learn that, like the whole process. So it 89 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:42.840 was super cool. 90 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.479 Is there anybody that you kind of have a dream 91 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.719 less that you want to work with in the future. 92 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:55.960 Brandy shaw Day, right, Carrie Jasmine Sullivan, Beyonce. 93 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.199 I just there are these all your inspirations that you 94 00:03:58.599 --> 00:03:59.759 Alicia Keys. 95 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.919 Because I played piano, Like Alicia Keys is just somebody 96 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.199 that everybody has their own category. The people that I've named, 97 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.560 you can't compare them because it's like a whole disrespect 98 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.400 to it, Like I can't compare this person to this person. 99 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.879 They're their own person. So those people would be the 100 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.000 people I always looked up to in music, and I'm like, 101 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.279 you know what, I want to be like them. I 102 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.639 want to structure my music like that. So those are 103 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.519 like my inspirations. And then also someone that I would 104 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:26.120 want to work with. 105 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:27.279 Awesome. 106 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.000 So you did all these things and during the pandemic 107 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.079 because you said we couldn't go anywhere, you know, with 108 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.319 all these work things, did you take any time? Did 109 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.920 you take any time for yourself to do anything that 110 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.720 you kind of maybe re recognized about yourself or needed 111 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.439 to kind of sit back and think about things that 112 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.279 you've seen, anything that maybe came up for you personally 113 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:43.920 in your life. 114 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.560 I would say just mentally, like you have to like 115 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.680 sit back and wonder like what what do you? 116 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.480 Why are you here? 117 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.079 I didn't know like or understand, like why I'm here? 118 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.480 What's my purpose? Like as far as music, So music 119 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.319 has helped me through so much mentally physically everything the 120 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.879 things that I've gone through, and I finally just like 121 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.879 the one thing I'm proud of during the pandemic is 122 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:09.560 I took a step back and learned more of me. 123 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.600 It was just giving myself more time, like, hey. 124 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.920 You need to eat more healthier, you need to be 125 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:20.040 around people that are positive. You need to maybe not 126 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.079 drink as much, maybe you need to work out more. 127 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.720 And I started switching these things. 128 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.040 I'm doing yoga, I'm doing meditation, and I'm like, you know, 129 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:29.199 I don't get mad. 130 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.759 As much as I used to. 131 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.120 It was really just a step back, like let me 132 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.120 go and get the proper nourishment and help for myself 133 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.439 so that I could really start slaging shit. And that's 134 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.800 why when I look at myself drop stuff and I'm 135 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.399 working with people, I'm like, yeah, I did that. That 136 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.560 was like my biggest goal because it was just a lot. 137 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.680 You know, my grandmother had passed away. I was doing 138 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.879 it was June seventh, and then I went to go 139 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.240 do a music video two in Miami on my birthday 140 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.639 June tenth, and had to lay it to rest the 141 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.079 following week. Then after that my friend from Houston passed away. 142 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.120 It was just like back to back. I need a break, 143 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.240 and I took a break and I put it all 144 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:07.959 into my music. 145 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:09.360 Everything I felt. 146 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.399 So now when I drop these records that's been sitting 147 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.759 for two years, pandemic probably six years, and I'm looking 148 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.079 back and I'm like, hey, well that's happening. That was 149 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:18.720 something that happened in my life that I could touch 150 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.079 other people. I'm also getting my shit together and now 151 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.800 I can show y'all. So when I post me boxing 152 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.439 or me going to help the homeless or something like that, 153 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.800 you can see it in my face, like you could 154 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.839 see my energy totally different. Sure, And that's the biggest 155 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.439 thing I tell people is that no matter what you're 156 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.079 going through, like you really gotta like understand, like why 157 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.879 are you here? My purpose is music. I notice when 158 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.680 it drops, like how it makes people feel. It's not 159 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.000 just me playing around with it and stuff. It's something 160 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.199 I focused on for a long time. So I got 161 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.040 myself to a place where I'm like, everything that's important 162 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.120 to me needs to be first. 163 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.000 And then that's a pretty good pandemic. 164 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:01.360 Do you? 165 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.240 Is that why you constantly take breaks off of social media? 166 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.199 Yeah? Like it's like it's social media, Like. 167 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.240 But I feel like, because of who you are and 168 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.360 who you know kind of growing up in you know, 169 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.439 this realities type of world, you're kind of almost made 170 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.879 to believe that that's your livelihood social media you either 171 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.720 make you know, money from making endorsements or this or whatever. 172 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.360 But it also is a negative side to it as well. 173 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.319 It gets like, now did you get to I guess 174 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.600 have that courage to just be like, you know what, 175 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.120 I'm gonna keep doing what I'm gonna do anyways, but 176 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.279 I'm gonna need this break because it's better for me 177 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.279 as a person, because then I can actually fully be 178 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:39.000 there for my music. 179 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.240 That was one of the like when I said that 180 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.920 I started doing yoga, I started doing that was one 181 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.720 of the pinpoints.

So is it a spot treatment or 370 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:24.519 like a whole vegan friendly. 371 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.759 So the mask is you take a little bit of 372 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.799 it and you rub it into areas like your thighs 373 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.799 or in the crack of your bed and spots that's 374 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.000 on the butt, and you let it sit for twenty minutes. 375 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.519 That's to tighten the skin because that type of skin 376 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.279 is different from the normal type of skin that you 377 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.480 have on the outside, and it doesn't get a lot 378 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.440 of sun, so when you're rubbing and stuff, it becomes dark. 379 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.639 I've had it, so I've used it before for six months. 380 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:51.559 I've been working on it. So that's because you've done it. 381 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:52.879 I've tried it. Yeah. 382 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.480 I don't like putting out products that I don't know about. 383 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.200 And then it's like, well, this didn't work. Now I 384 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.039 don't want that. I would never want that. So the 385 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.399 cream is for the s thoughts and the blemishes. So 386 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.559 after you do the mask, you put that on there 387 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.799 and then it tightens it while it also blimishes and 388 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.840 makes it lighter. In about two, maybe less than two weeks, 389 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.480 you'll start seeing like, is. 390 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.519 This something that you created yourself that I would like 391 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:17.320 that you had, Like you know, like you said that 392 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.440 you're an advocate of trying your own products to make 393 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.440 sure that it's good. Or were you approached by somebody 394 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:23.320 I was. It was all of that, because that's something 395 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.279 that you don't really hear about too much, you know, 396 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:27.679 I feel like it's a new market. 397 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.000 It was more of. 398 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:34.799 It was a woman that her company is called Glow 399 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.879 Skin Enhancements, and we decided to join together. And it's 400 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:40.840 so crazy because she's like, don't tell people about me. 401 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.519
