Like, singing is such a, it's almost like a spiritual thing almost, specifically like in a choir together with people, like going to concerts or even sporting events and you sing this chants and it's like a it's something that's happening in you when you sing. And I think it's also really easy to appreciate someone singing. And I mean, it's harder to be like a really, really good dancer at five or like, I'm going to do a Shakespeare monologue and I'm like, I'm going to prove to you why I'm so good at acting at five. But singing, if a child have a really good voice and everyone's like, oh my God, you're amazing. And like you get the attention from that from a really early age because you just naturally good at it, then I guess you just keep going with that.”

So that's like 10 years, which is kind of crazy considering the fact that I'm 25 and I've been doing this for a decade. And it's just, you know, a part of who I am.

“No, it's not a good thing. And I felt like I really felt that when I was releasing my last album poster girl, that's also why it took like four years between so good, which was my first international album to poster girl because I was so pressured into having like the same amount of streams and the same amount of like commercial success that so good had that I just in a way forgot that I love music and like I think it's so fun and I'm doing it because it brings me joy and I lost that a little bit in the process of making poster girl because I was just So scared of not only myself that I would, you know, do a better album than the one before, but like, what will other people think of me if I don't perform as well?

Obviously, you're going to be influenced by the people you meet and what you see and just how you can even see how like The lingo of people, just sorry for speaking about TikTok so much, but just like how people are talking the words they're using that might come from a certain group of people at first, but then they bring it online and it becomes like saturated and then all of a sudden everybody starts speaking like that and everybody starts wearing the same thing and everybody starts like all of that so like I think I am struggling.”

“Not being able to have a private life just to start there, you know, or somebody always having opinions about your private life. Because also, you know, especially in this time, like back in the days, at least there were no social media or anything like that. And these times, I feel like we have this parasocial relationship with followers where they feel like they would know who you are because they follow you on like TikTok or Instagram or Twitter where you write your opinions about stuff or just like I had a great bacon sandwich for breakfast or like personal stuff, you know, you would never hear Whitney Houston be like Post a selfie, you know, but now because you kind of have to do that to connect with people and be like, I'm human.
