Like what were kind 62 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.080 of some inspirations that kind of knew that you were 63 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:34.680 going to be dustined for music. 64 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:36.960 I grew up all for like R and B and 65 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.479 hip hop, but I grew up around a lot of 66 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.400 different types of music. Especially for myself, I like listened 67 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:44.759 to a lot of different types of music, a lot 68 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.240 of different types of genres. But when I got like 69 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.599 older and I started to like really figure out, like 70 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.759 all right, who who was somebody that really inspires me 71 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.680 or that I really look up to. And it was 72 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.879 like Drake and Kaylani and then I went through like 73 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.000 a big hand of Montana face really did it for me. 74 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.520 That's why we're blind here now. So you know, funny fact. 75 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.800 That they would her name wanted to be Alexis Texas, 76 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.599 but there was already one and that was. 77 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.560 Me, period Mley watched out for all shit. 78 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.840 You know, I didn't you know, I didn't know it 79 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.199 was destined. I say out the womb, knowing I'd be 80 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.520 Alexis Texas. But I always knew that I'd be destined 81 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:22.280 to be something. 82 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.199 So you know, like it it rhymes. So what is 83 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.080 your approach to the creative process? 84 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.199 Knowing that you've always wanted to be in music, and 85 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.599 you know, knowing that you know you had different genres 86 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.439 like R and B, like you know you could sing, 87 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.960 how did you know, like what kind of approach do 88 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.120 you take to your creative process? 89 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.319 I just kind of learned it along the way. I 90 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.439 would like sit by myself and you know, try to 91 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:48.520 figure out, all right, what type of beats do I like, 92 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.879 what do I want to write about? What would my 93 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.400 writing style be like? I just figured it out along 94 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.240 the way. And as you know, once I got like 95 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.120 discovered and I was like really in the business and 96 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.159 really in an industry and like doing it professionally for real, 97 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.360 my creative process changed a little bit. But I'm really 98 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:07.879 the type of I gotta be going through something to 99 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.759 really like write something super super heartfelt or like taking 100 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.879 from other people's experiences. But Hennessy do it for me. 101 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.639 Sparked them brain cords. That's gonna make you start feeling 102 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.399 some feels. Yeah. 103 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.000 Is there a favorite type of an environment or setting 104 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.959 where you think your creative flows kind of flow best. 105 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.720 When I work with people that I have really good 106 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.839 chemistry with, like musically, or when I buy myself because 107 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.360 when I buy myself, I don't have to think about 108 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.120 other people's opinions or think about just other people's energies. 109 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:41.759 It's like it's just it's just me and here. 110 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:43.759 So just being in your own head and your own 111 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.560 space where you can kind of have a safe space 112 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.160 for yourself and creatively flow. It doesn't have to necessarily 113 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.839 mean like outside or by the beach or like a 114 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.279 calming like area things like that, or it could just be 115 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:54.720 like just anywhere else. 116 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.240 Yeah, just by myself because even like if you're in 117 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.000 a real wing people and they're not even saying anything, 118 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.800 it's just being around different people's energies. It could make 119 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.519 you like really self conscious sometimes, like I feel so 120 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.959 when you're by yourself, you have nothing, but like you know, 121 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.600 there's nobody but you, you have full creative control. Like you 122 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.000 you're controlling the energy in the room. It's just only you. 123 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.639 So I think that's amazing about like what makes you 124 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.399 know artists, artists and creatives is like how uniquely like 125 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.439 people want to you know, you do your own thing, 126 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.240 and I think that that's what sets you aside from 127 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.879 everybody else. If you're you know, regardless of where you're found, 128 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.959 it's like when your talent is finally being showcased and 129 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.639 shut signed all the light that it should be. 130 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.879 It's like staying in your own lane and just knowing 131 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.120 that you are your own lane and regardless of what 132 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:38.480 that is. 133 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.959 Is like it's what you feel, what you go through, 134 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.360 like your you know, experiences in life, what really will 135 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.720 make you elevate to the next level and get you 136 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.279 to your craft where you're supposed to be instead of 137 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.199 like the bullshit exactly being around like you know, the 138 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.439 wrong people or you know, getting into like beefs or 139 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.040 things that don't you know, really matter to you because 140 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.920 it just isn't taking away from your craft exactly. 141 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.439 Yeah, I don't have time for that right now. 142 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.079 So you say that you're a very like you know, 143 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.199 your very heartfelt and like emotion.

So I'm very much 192 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.240 one of them people like if it's not me, I 193 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.759 don't want to do what I'm not doing it okay, 194 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.079 Like if it don't speak to me, if it don't 195 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.879 feel like me, Like, if it doesn't relate to me, 196 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.279 I'm not with the shit. I've always been like that 197 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.199 though I've never been a fake the funk ass bitch. 198 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.959 Like now, you go and get what you get and 199 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.519 you don't get upset, and if you don't like it, 200 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.079 you could get the fucks to step in, bitch haw 201 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.039 stop become a problem with business in the industry. No, 202 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.960 because people pretty much I feel like now and just 203 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.679 like I feel like she's really small. So like people talk, 204 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.120 it's like you know what you're getting when I come around. 205 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:44.960 I'm a lot, but I'm not a lot in a 206 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.159 bad way. It's just like, but you're a lot for 207 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.200 the right people, and that's okay. And I think that 208 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.200 it's one of those things as artists, sometimes some people 209 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.360 don't know how to take people. But you also have 210 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.200 to deserve and like command respect, and I think those 211 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.759 certain things. It's like you've proven all the things you 212 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.679 need to prove and you don't need to prove anything 213 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.519 to you but to yourself exactly, like just now having 214 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.279 people put respect behind them. Yeah, So it's like I've 215 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.399 never like it's never been an issue for me. And 216 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.240 like my team, they they already know me. So a 217 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:13.600 lot of the times I don't even have to deal 218 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:17.240 with the bullshit because they already know, like the because 219 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.720 it's the whole thing. Like I'm an argumentatives and I'm arguing. 220 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:21.600 That's a big thing. 221 00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.240 I think that having a good team behind you to 222 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.480 elevate you too where you need to be is a big, 223 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.320 you know, counterpart to make you as successful as you 224 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:29.720 should be. 225 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.799 Yeah, because I don't think I could do it by myself, 226 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.919 especially because my mom very unfiltered. I need somebody to 227 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.960 talk for me sometimes because it's no bueno. So how 228 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:44.120 would you describe your sound chaotic? Chaotic even in your music? Yeah, 229 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:48.519 I say I make chaota girn b Okay, Yeah, yeah, 230 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.080 I talk a lot of shit. I don't care either, 231 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.159 So whatever, Come my my mom, Come my mom. 232 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.399 What would you say is your biggest challenge you face 233 00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:00.120 so far in the music industry? 234 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.559 Probably like figuring out who I am as an artist 235 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.600 for real? For real. I feel like every time we'll 236 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.120 be like, yeah, I know who I am as an artist, 237 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.240 but I'm still figuring it out, Like I'm still figuring 238 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.200 out exactly like who I want to be in like 239 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.159 exactly what I want to sound like. But I think 240 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:19.960 now like two steps away from really getting it because 241 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.039 I'm right there. Like, can you walk us through that 242 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:22.879 process a little bit? 243 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.399 Like what kind of things can you navigate to like 244 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:27.559 to get you to know like what kind of artists 245 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.320 you are? Like what have you kind of experienced or 246 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.639 kind of put yourself out there to kind of get 247 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:33.440 you to elevate you to know how what kind of 248 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.519 artists you want to be working with? 249 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.600 Different people? Okay, I think if I was challenging yourself, 250 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.200 challenging yourself in different ways. Yeah, and having other people 251 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.519 challenge me, because I feel like if it was just 252 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.759 me and if I was doing like all my music 253 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.120 all by myself, it will take a lot longer to 254 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:54.600 figure out. But having people that can help you understand 255 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.279 yourself a little bit or help you navigate or even 256 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.120 like challenge you to do different things, it's like a 257 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.399 lot easier because it's like, oh, I didn't think I 258 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.519 would have liked that, but now I like it, Like 259 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.399 for this project, it opens up doors that you wouldn't know. Yes, 260 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.759 So like for this project, my executive producer like fresh, 261 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.600 she pushes me a little bit more than like other 262 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:18.600 people I work with musically, and like, for example, like 263 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.799 left Eye was not a song I wanted to do 264 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.519 at first, and I did not want to do that 265 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:25.159 fucking song. I did not. I was like, I was 266 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.080 crazy how it works. I was like, I don't want 267 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.200 to sample this shit, like no, I'm done, I quit, 268 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.440 I'm done. But I ended up really liking it and 269 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.759 I was not missing my chance to get some words 270 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.080 out on that. So it just be like little things 271 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.639 like that, or just even having people that are open 272 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.759 to listening to what you want because like, there's a 273 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.120 song on the project that I don't think anybody else 274 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.240 would have worked on with me because people be scared 275 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.519 of my management for real, so they don't they be 276 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.519 listening too much and they be like, oh, well, I 277 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:57.960 don't want to do that, because you know, they said, 278 00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.919 you gotta have people that want to like be open 279 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.200 to what you want and then like give you the 280 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.559 opportunity to talk about things and then bring it to 281 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.080 people and be like, yo, I think this is a 282 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.399 good idea, and then they end up liking it. They 283 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.919 end up loving it, so that's good. I feel like 284 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.000 sometimes you got to push back a little bit. Yeah, 285 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.039 I'm gonna push back sometimes. I think there's always a 286 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.799 you know, the older that we get. There's a compromise 287 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.919 of certain things, right because we also know what's We 288 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.919 have the right people, so they also know what's good 289 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.279 for us and you know what's good for yourself sometimes too. 290 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.639 But we also got to listen sometimes too, So I'm 291 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:37.080 both Yes, sometimes you gotta make the bed and lay 292 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.600 in it and then you end up loving it.
