Speaker 1 (00:03):
Those funs in Mexico, they are so down for you,
Like well, I don't know if it was because it
was my first show. It was just this overwhelming feeling.
It was just an amazing moment. I saw their faces
change right before my eyes. They went from I'm so
pissed looking at me up and down to where they're like, okay,
nodding their heads, smiling a little bit, and it was
so gratifying for my type of music, and I think
(00:26):
for music in general. You guys, Mexico is such an
important place and they're amazing and I think.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We rocked it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Hello everyone, saludos. I hope you all are having a
really great day. I've been a busy bee and so
it's really nice to just sit and talk to you
guys about what's going on in my life. As you know,
I've been on tour for the Abajos. It's been a
lot of fun and I've really enjoyed it. And we
started off in Mexico. So let's get into this episode.
This is Cheeky's and show. One of the reasons the
(01:09):
tour is so special to me is because it's the
first time I've ever performed in Mexico. Well, I performed
before in Mexico, but this is like my first show,
you guys. In late March, I performed at the Lunardio
in Mexico City. Oh my goodness, I love you guys
(01:33):
so much that there is the sound of the crowd
during my concert, my people, I love you guys so much.
It was actually sold out and I'm just so excited
and so grateful with everyone that was there to see me.
Tomy's bozis in Mexico. It was special, you guys. It
(01:53):
is very difficult to break through to Mexico or into Mexico,
should I say? It's just the different audience. The media
is different out there, and I've been trying for years now.
I've gone out to Mexico to promote my books, some
of my music, and I think they see me more
of like an American. And I've always said this, you guys.
(02:16):
I'm a hundred percent Mexicana, one hundred percent American, I'm
two hundred percent I'm from you know, the two hundred
percent club. But in Mexico is in the sense of
they want us to be like super proud of being Mexican,
and I am, And I think it's just taken a
little while for them to believe me, I think, and
(02:38):
for them to realize that I am very proud to
be Mexican. K then go San Mexican. And not only that,
but a lot of things had been said. There was
a lot of cheese min and they couldn't really focus
on my music. So now I'm like xnaying all that
stuff and trying not to have so much drama in
my life. And thank goodness, I think just staying away
(03:00):
from certain people and learning from my mistakes in the
past has really taught me to just kind of go
around certain questions and bring it back to my music. So,
you know, thank goodness for my pr Shout out to
Jennifer Neeman, my publicist.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Anyways, it was an amazing show. You guys.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It was a Tuesday, I'll be honest. We were worried,
all of us, my team, my record label. Everyone was
worried because the ticket sales were pretty slow. And that
is because there have been other promoters in Mexico trying
to sell my shows and they say I'm going to
be somewhere and then I don't show up because they're
not my booking agency, you know what I mean. And
(03:41):
it's kind of given me a bad rap, so I
had to just get out there and show them, hey, guys,
this is true. I will be at the Lunardio. It
is my show. And then that's when the ticket sale
started coming in and we didn't find out until the
day of, which was March twenty eighth, you guys, that
the Lunardio was sold out, and I was just excited.
It was a very important because it wasn't only a
(04:01):
concert for my Mexico fans, but also for the platforms,
all the platforms, all the digital platforms, my record label,
a lot of promoters. It was like their first time
really saying okay, Cheeky's as a singer, you know what
I mean. And we killed it. I think we did
an amazing job. My banda Ana, they are amazing, you guys.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
We rehearsed. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It was so crazy because I have a teleprompter just
for like as a safety net, but I know all
the songs. But I just psyched myself out sometimes and
I felt like I didn't even need to use it,
like I was just in the moment, feeling everything, feeling
the energy of the crowd, and oh my god, can
I tell you guys, like those fans of Mexico. Mexico fans,
(04:46):
they are so passionate, they are so down for you.
Like I'm not saying that, you know, in the United States,
my fans aren't down for me, because you guys are.
I always say my boss be's are the best. I
honestly mean that from the bottom of my heart. You
guys do things for me that I don't see other
artists talk about. Or maybe they do and they just
won't talk about it. I don't know, but you guys
(05:06):
are the best. But in Mexico, I don't know if
it was because it was my first, my own first show,
because again I've been at festivals, I've been invited to
people's concerts, but this was like my first real concert,
like my concert, so it was like, I don't know,
it was just like this overwhelming feeling. And they knew
all my songs. You guys like songs that have never
(05:29):
been a single, and my favorite song number seven in
trebas on the Abahrena album. They sing it, it's never
been a single, I haven't done a music video for it,
and they were freaking singing all of my songs.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It was just an amazing moment, and it was an
important show because it was recorded both visually and audio.
So you guys, there will be a live album, something
I've been wanting for a long time. And I can
honestly tell you I sound so good for not being
on a stage for more than like almost four months.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Of course I rehearsed, of course I do my vocal
coaching all that stuff, but I don't know, I just
felt so good in every aspect. I loved, you know,
the outfits, and that's one thing I told myself, Okay,
we're gonna do ave Herena Barrellos, which means we gotta
level up. We got to upgrade the wardrobe. I bought
the bandam outfits, you know, shoes. I want them to
(06:27):
look like me. You know, I wear tennis shoes. But
then also we're proud to be Latinos, so we've got
to show that side as well, and you know, regional
Mexican and stuff. So that's kind of like what this
whole tour has been about, Like the bandanas and you
know that the Hannahs all in one, you know, the
Mexican and American side of me. So we're still doing
that in this part too, but I'm adding different songs,
(06:49):
songs that people have been asking for, like songs from
like my previous albums. I've also added corridos, something that
I love, you know, as you guys know, both my
ave Herena songs are corridos, and I love corrios. I mean,
that's what I grew up on, you guys, listening to
Cheli No Sanchez to do rassos. I mean, like I
can't even think of who else but a bunch of corrillos.
(07:10):
So I added a little bit of that, and that's
kind of what it is, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
We just leveled it up.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Like all the colors right now for a head right now,
you guys are red, silver, and black. That's all we're
going to see on this tour. Oh and a hint
of yellow. And that's what I did in Lunatio. I
did change so the yellow because of course, you know,
bees honey, you know, so in some concerts I will
have like a yellow outfit here and there, but mainly
everything will be red, black and silver. I wanted it
(07:37):
to be just very like a theme, you know, and
easier on me as well, because trying to find something
to wear every show is not only expensive, but it's
time consuming. So I was like, let's make a bunch
of outfits and let's like inner change them and kind
of just stay in the like same aesthetic.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So it was great.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I think we started off this tour on the right
foot and talking about Lunadio and everything that happen. I
don't want to miss a very important part my mom
making an appearance. And here's the thing. I was very surprised.
It wasn't a surprise for me because I knew I
wanted to surprise the audience and the people that were there.
I knew my mom was going to sing. I just
(08:16):
hadn't seen the images like in the background, So it
was a surprise for the audience, But people thought it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Was a surprise for me. Mind you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I mean, I'm very like kind of micromanage everything, so
I was like, I want to know everything that's going on.
Of course, I put my set list together, everything we
rehearsed and everything. So I was just surprised because every
time I see my mom or I hear her voice,
I never know how I'm going to feel. I hadn't
seen any of the images they were beautiful and it's
(08:44):
just seeing there and it was just like that moment
of like, oh my god, that's why Johnny. I don't
know if you guys have seen some clips on TikTok
and stuff, you know, because Johnny and my brother is
now a part of the band. Johnny kind of turned
me around so that I could see the screens and
it was just like a moment of like, oh my gosh.
And it hits me sometimes, you guys, where I'm like, dude,
my mom's not here. I'm so focused and I have
(09:07):
to be strong and everything like that's like every day
I'm like I got to be strong. I got to
be strong for myself or my siblings. That it's not
that I forget that my mom's out here, but in
those types of moments, it really hits hard. It's like,
oh shit, my mom's not here. And I don't know
if if that makes any sense, but those of you
that have lost a parent or a loved one, like
I know, you're gonna know what I mean. Because even
though it's been ten years since my mom's passing, there
(09:29):
are days when I'm like driving not even thinking about anything,
and it's like I get like this feeling in my
chest of like, oh my gosh, my mom's ot here,
Like I wish I could call her, and like I
start crying out of nowhere, because it doesn't matter how
old I am, I'm always going to need my mom,
you know. So it was a beautiful moment and the
crowd loved it and just hearing her voice. I didn't
(09:50):
want to hear it in the rehearsals. I just knew
it was going to happen, but I hadn't rehearsed that part.
I just knew I know what I'm singing. I don't
know what she's going to sing or how she's going
to sound. So all of that was like a moment
of like whoa for me and just hearing her It's
just thank goodness for technology, you guys, that I'm able
to have those moments.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It was beautiful. It was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
The next day, I went to a radio festival, which
had me nervous as well, because I'm like, okay, it's free.
People can go there for free. What if they don't
buy tickets for Lunati. That was another reason why I
was like, oh my god, the tickets are slow whatever,
And people were saying oh, well, chicks notienne publica Mexico,
which means well, Chiki's doesn't have a you know, an
audience here. And people thought that it was gonna flop.
(10:38):
That's what was happening two weeks before the Lunadi. You
guys imagine that stress. But I was like, no, this
happened for a reason. It's happening at the right time.
God would not place me in this place at this
moment to fail, Like I, I've gone through way too much.
And I just kept repeating that, and I was like,
the Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I just kept repeating.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
When I would find myself getting nervous, I was like, oh,
everything's gonna be fine, And look at God showing off
and showing up in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
We sold out. So anyways, going back to the festival.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
The next day was the festival, and again it was
free and I was second to last to perform.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's late.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I had my engineers, and in festivals usually you shouldn't
take your own engineers because it takes a long time
from like one band to the next. It's like this
whole thing and the wiring and the whole thing. Anyways,
it took forty five minutes. You guys, imagine from the
last performer, the one before me, forty five minutes for
me to come on. Mind you, I didn't know what
was going on. You know, my team doesn't tell me that,
(11:37):
don't want me to get nervous. I didn't find this
out until the next day. But Irakulba, it was my
team's fault because they wanted to change everything up and
switch everything up and make it sound amazing because they
take care of me. But at a festival. Now we've
learned we shouldn't do that. We're learning little by little.
But anyways, took forty five minutes. So the crowd was upset.
(11:59):
They were already like whistling Chiflando like hey, like they
were kind of like they were impatient, and I understand
and everybody. I saw everybody's face. I was like, what's
going on? Because someone was telling me like I thought
that it was them. You know, I'm just sitting here
waiting for an hour and a half, you guys sitting
in my green room waiting to go on stage, and
I thought it was their fault, the festival's fault, right AnyWho,
(12:19):
So I see everyone's face and everyone's kind of like nervous.
I walk on stage, and my band and Johnny their
little faces were like, and I'm like, shit, something's up.
But we hadn't communicated because you know, everyone was doing
their own thing. So I went on and sure enough,
I felt the crowd, you guys, I felt the crowd.
They were upset. They were just looking at me straight face.
They were pissed. And I was like, Okay, this is
(12:41):
my chance to prove to myself, to prove to everyone,
the people that brought me here, the radio station that
brought me here, that I got what it takes. So
I made it my mission to switch their faces. And
I said, I'm going to give my all. Mind you,
it's late as hell. It was one point thirty, I
think in the morning in Mexico. People are tired. There
was still another artist after me, so my time was
(13:04):
cut a lot shorter because you have to be respectful
for the next person. So I was kind of like,
I felt rushed and everything. But I saw their faces
change right before my eyes.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
They went from I'm so pissed looking at me up
and down. Imagine that energy, to where they're like, okay,
nodding their heads smiling a little bit, and it was
so gratifying to say, Wow, it was like confirmation for
me again, like I am here, I'm leaving my footprint,
and this is what it's all about. You're not always
(13:34):
going to have people, necessarily, especially at festivals. Going from
a show like Lunadia where everyone was there to see
you to a festival where people are pissed and not
all of them are there to see you. That is
your opportunity as an artist to say I'm going to
show you what I can do. Maybe you don't like me,
maybe you don't know my music, but this is what
it's all about. I'm gonna get on this stage and
give it my all and seeing my heart out so
(13:56):
that you can fall in love with the songs and
maybe with myself. So it was tough and they did
cut my time in half, but I was so proud.
I was like, dude, we freaking did it. And before
I forget, one of the things that I'm doing in
this new tour A Part two is I'm crowning people.
(14:18):
And I know this sounds crazy, you guys, and some people,
especially like maybe some Christians or really religious people will
see it as a bad thing because I am talking
about God on stage when I'm wearing some like little
shorts and dancing really sexy and having tequila and cussing.
Because I've heard little things here and there it's like,
how can she talk about God? How can she pray
(14:39):
on stage? And honestly, I don't give I can give
two fucks about what those people are saying, because this
is where you touch people's hearts. God gave me this opportunity,
this voice, and I'm going to use it in the
best way possible. And this is why I always call
myself a spiritual gangster, you guys, because yes, I twerk,
but I also go to church. Yes I cuss, but
I love God. I feel like it's all balanced. It's
(15:02):
the yin and the yank and I live with good
intentions and not just because I cuss and I kiss
girls sometimes and I like to dance sexy and I
drink tequila doesn't mean that God loves me any less.
Absolutely not. And that's why a lot of people stay
we're from church because they feel judged. Right, This is
a whole other episode, you guys. But I just needed
to say this because I saw some comments and not
(15:23):
that I even want to give that too much attention,
but I do want to express this because it's important
to me. I told God in my prayers and in
the darkest moments of my life, God, I know you
have me here for a reason, because there are a
lot of times that I've wanted to give up, say yeah,
ask taki yanopoilo because it's tough. It's been an uphill
(15:44):
battle for me. But I'm grateful and anyways, and in
those moments, I have told God, Look, this is what
you want for me. I know that there's something huge coming.
Help me stay strong, and I promise you that when
we get to those big stages, I will glorify your name,
you know. And it's not even about me preaching or anything.
It's showing through my experience, through my life, everything that
(16:06):
I have lived through and gone through. I wouldn't be
here if it wasn't for the grace and favor of God,
if it wasn't for my faith in God, my spirituality.
I don't know how I would have been here. Losing
my mom the way I lost her, everything that I've
gone through, It's a higher power. That's all I could say.
And I want to share that with everyone. And I
wanted people to understand that it's not me that I'm
(16:28):
the abe Herena, that I'm a badass bitch that this,
and that I feel I'm better than everyone else. That's
not what it is. It's I earned this crown. I
didn't always have it. It fell a few times, you
know what I mean. I had to pick it up
off the floor and put it back on my head
and say, no, I am here to stay whether you
want me to or not. And I'm not saying you guys,
but other people, negative people want me to be here
or not. It's not up to you, guys. It's up
(16:50):
to the man upstairs, to the higher power. And that's
what this crown, the abe Herena, is all about. And
I've been doing it at every show and I just
close my eyes on stage, you guys, and I pray
on stage, buzzed or not, looking like Lahuchi or not.
I pray cause it doesn't matter what you look like
or how you dress. If you want to talk to God,
(17:12):
He's always here to listen. So yup, I take that
moment in the festival to you, guys.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I was like, I'm not getting off this stage without
giving someone this crown. I brought this crown and that's
part of my show. And I was already like having
to get off, but I was like, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm doing this.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So anyways, I close my eyes and I pray, and
I'm like, God, help me choose the person that you
want me to speak to.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And I just open my eyes and I.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Look around, and whoever I connect with is the person
that I just feel it in my heart. I don't
even know how to explain it. And I say a
few words. I don't even know what I'm going to say.
I don't even recite it. You guys, It's just here.
I made it this far and I still haven't gotten
to where I want to get. And I know that
there are going to be more trials and obstacles in
(17:54):
my path, but I am here, fur, and that's basically
the message that I give them. No matter what you've
gone through, you are also in Avejarrena, in the Nunadio,
there was this guy named Jordan. It was a guy
and that's who I spoke to. Oh my god, his heart,
Oh my goodness. He was such a beautiful guy. Like
his little eyes, the way he looked at me, you guys,
Oh my goodness. It was just I can still remember
(18:17):
his look, the look on his face, and how happy
he was to receive this crown, and it was just
I want people to feel special because we are, because
sometimes we get so consumed with life and the negativity
that we forget that we are all here for a
reason and we have to let our light shine. And
I want to be that person to remind you guys.
(18:39):
So anyways, that's what the whole thing with the crown is,
and it has it's all. They're all custom made.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Have my guy who puts the bees on there, and
it's the abe Herena crown, you guys. And it's been amazing.
And I gave it to Jordan, and I also gave
it to two ladies in Mexico and one in McAllen
and they loved it and I'm loving it all in all,
(19:08):
you guys. It was a successful, successful trip to Mexico.
I had a photo shoot the day after the festival,
so it was very busy and I came back very tired,
but it was worth it. I felt like, finally, you guys, finally,
all the hard work, all the late nights, all the
early mornings, all the tears are paying off, and for
(19:28):
my type of music, and I think for music in general,
you guys, Mexico is such an important blasa's what we
call it, but such an important place for your music
and for you to get to the next level as
an artist. And they're amazing. And I'm not just saying
because we're Mexican or because I'm Mexican, but I'm saying
it from the bottom of my heart, you guys. So
for me, it was a huge accomplishment. I had so
(19:51):
much fun, as tired as I was for that, for
that cover that I did for the magazine Estilo Dea
you guys, it should be coming out soon.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I think we rocked it.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It was amazing, and I just wanted to share that
with you guys because I am so proud. I'm so
proud of my team. I'm proud of myself, of my banda,
of everyone that showed up that day.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Mucha.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Bovis the Mexik and Illunario Itsueno the Lunardio is the
sister and the baby of the big place Alal and
I did a video out there, you guys, right in
front of it and I said I will be here
one day, and I have it on my vision board
and it says sold out and God willing send me
(20:31):
all your positive vibe. You guys, we are going to
do it. But this was a huge step, and I
am grateful. I'm grateful, and I loved Mexico so much
that I am really considering. I've been thinking about this
for about a year and a half or more. Actually,
I want to get an apartment out there and lather Mexico.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I think it's going to happen this year. It has
to happen this year. I want to spend more time
in Mexico. I want to do more interviews Kio Seras Presentia.
I want I want to kind of just be in
the atmosphere and for people to know that yes, I'm
American and I'm proud to be American, but I'm also
very proud to be Mexican. So in order to do that,
I have to spend more time there and they need
(21:12):
to see me there. And I love Mexico City. It's
such a sexy ass freaking city. Like it's like La
and Miami and just so many things all in one.
And the food is amazing and the people are great,
so I think I don't know, it's either that or Waadahada,
but most likely Mexico City. So I'm definitely going to
spend more time in Mexico. I'll still have my house here,
but I'm gonna be like hopefully having two places, maybe three,
(21:35):
because I also want to go to Miami. So AnyWho,
I think we started off this tour on the right foot,
and I am proud. Honestly, I can tell you that
I am so proud of myself, and I know that
might sound weird, but I am at a point in
my life where I think it's good and it's healthy
for us to say I am proud of myself. I
am proud of how far I've come, despite the adversity,
(21:57):
the obstacles. I feel calm. Even when we had our
press conference the day before the concert. The Mexican media
is a little scary, you guys. You know, well for
me at least, because they ask me all kinds of
questions that have nothing to do with my music, that
have nothing to do with my life, you know, asking
me questions about other artists or other things that are
(22:18):
going on in the world, or family issues, and I'm
just like, dude, I'm so past that, Like I'm respectful,
but now I'm just calm. And they even noticed it.
They're like, oh my god, scheeez, you're so different, Like
you're radiating this different light. Is it because you're happy
in your relationship? And yes, it has to do with
my relationship, I'm in peace, but it also has to
do with how I feel about myself. And I feel confident,
(22:40):
and I feel secure, and I feel worthy, and I
feel got bass, I feel capable, you know what I mean.
Like I really do feel that way. I feel like
I've lost fear. And even if I were to fall
on stage, God forbid, you know, but it happens to
the best of us. It happened to Carol g and
she handled it like a free and queen. And even
(23:01):
if something like that would happen, I'm not like afraid
anymore of like everything that could go wrong. I'm thinking
of everything that can go right, you know. That's I
think what switched. And I'm like, well, I'm here because
God wants me to be here. This is my mission,
this is my testimony, this is my platform. And if
I wasn't meant to be here, I wouldn't be here.
And once that clicked, it was just like, oh shoot,
(23:22):
like I just feel free to do and be me
completely an f what anyone else thinks.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It's just been.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Growing and growing more every time that. It's not that
I'm not nervous before going on stage, because I was nervous,
but even that is ham It's like silent, It's not
as loud anymore in my tummy, in my mind right
before going on stage. So I was a little nervous,
but not as much as I used to be. And
(23:49):
I hope those nerves and those butterflies never go away,
because I feel like that is a sign of you
being completely passionate of what you're doing. You love what
you're doing, so you're gonna feel a little nervous because
at least me, I want to do my very best.
But now it's a different it's just different. I'm completely present.
Before I would go on stage and the first song,
I was still kind of like, oh shoot, like worried
about the crowd and worried about what they were thinking
(24:11):
and how they were feeling. And now it's like, dude,
I'm here, let me show you. Even if you don't
know this song I'm gonna sing it with my whole
heart so that you can fall in love with the song.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
You know what I mean. It's so different and that's
what it's all about. I wasn't ready to stop with the.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Abe Herena tour, so that's so I was like, I
need a part too, and there's more music coming out,
so I'm still trying to figure out if it's going
to be a deluxe or a B side.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Trying to figure that out.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So if you want to catch the abe Herena experience,
I will be sharing my next tour dates. I'm trying
to focus mainly in Mexico, like that was my plan
for this year, but we are going to be hitting
Texas and Chicago and a lot more states, so I
will keep you guys updated. But I'm definitely looking forward
(24:55):
to sharing this with you guys. The full set list
is amazing, you guys, Like it's not just because I
put it together and I chose the songs and everything,
but it's really fun, like I have to, for one,
enjoy what I'm singing and that time in the Lunario
because in these last two shows that I did after
the Lunardio, I wasn't able to do my entire set list,
(25:17):
but it was over two hours, two and a half hours,
you guys at the Lunardio, and it was amazing. It
felt like just fast and just it was like it
kept me wanting more. So I'm hoping that that's how
you guys feel. But I'm excited. I'm excited, and I'm
not gonna have like a crazy amount of shows just
because I have been telling myself I want to work smarter,
(25:40):
not harder, and I want to do and hit places
that I wasn't able to hit in the part one
of Avena, so I just wanted to clear that up.
And I also want to kind of save myself and
as an artist. And because I do my best to
give my absolute best all the time at every show,
it does deplete me a little bit, you know, and
I'm exerting so much energy that I want to make
(26:01):
sure I give myself some time in between my shows
to give you guys my absolute best because I can
go out there and hit it hard, but also it
exhausts me mentally and emotionally. So that's why I was like,
I really want to take care of that aspect so
that I can give you guys my absolute best. So anyways,
I will share all my dates with you guys, and
hopefully I'm able to see you guys soon.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Okay, and before we go, I want.
Speaker 1 (26:25):

Those funs in Mexico, they are so down for you,
Like well, I don't know if it was because it
was my first show. It was just this overwhelming feeling.
It was just an amazing moment. I saw their faces
change right before my eyes. They went from I'm so
pissed looking at me up and down to where they're like, okay,
nodding their heads, smiling a little bit, and it was
so gratifying for my type of music, and I think
(00:26):
for music in general. You guys, Mexico is such an
important place and they're amazing and I think.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We rocked it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Hello everyone, saludos. I hope you all are having a
really great day. I've been a busy bee and so
it's really nice to just sit and talk to you
guys about what's going on in my life. As you know,
I've been on tour for the Abajos. It's been a
lot of fun and I've really enjoyed it. And we
started off in Mexico. So let's get into this episode.
This is Cheeky's and show. One of the reasons the
(01:09):
tour is so special to me is because it's the
first time I've ever performed in Mexico. Well, I performed
before in Mexico, but this is like my first show,
you guys. In late March, I performed at the Lunardio
in Mexico City. Oh my goodness, I love you guys
(01:33):
so much that there is the sound of the crowd
during my concert, my people, I love you guys so much.
It was actually sold out and I'm just so excited
and so grateful with everyone that was there to see me.
Tomy's bozis in Mexico. It was special, you guys. It
(01:53):
is very difficult to break through to Mexico or into Mexico,
should I say? It's just the different audience. The media
is different out there, and I've been trying for years now.
I've gone out to Mexico to promote my books, some
of my music, and I think they see me more
of like an American. And I've always said this, you guys.
(02:16):
I'm a hundred percent Mexicana, one hundred percent American, I'm
two hundred percent I'm from you know, the two hundred
percent club. But in Mexico is in the sense of
they want us to be like super proud of being Mexican,
and I am, And I think it's just taken a
little while for them to believe me, I think, and
(02:38):
for them to realize that I am very proud to
be Mexican. K then go San Mexican. And not only that,
but a lot of things had been said. There was
a lot of cheese min and they couldn't really focus
on my music. So now I'm like xnaying all that
stuff and trying not to have so much drama in
my life. And thank goodness, I think just staying away
(03:00):
from certain people and learning from my mistakes in the
past has really taught me to just kind of go
around certain questions and bring it back to my music. So,
you know, thank goodness for my pr Shout out to
Jennifer Neeman, my publicist.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Anyways, it was an amazing show. You guys.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It was a Tuesday, I'll be honest. We were worried,
all of us, my team, my record label. Everyone was
worried because the ticket sales were pretty slow. And that
is because there have been other promoters in Mexico trying
to sell my shows and they say I'm going to
be somewhere and then I don't show up because they're
not my booking agency, you know what I mean. And
(03:41):
it's kind of given me a bad rap, so I
had to just get out there and show them, hey, guys,
this is true. I will be at the Lunardio. It
is my show. And then that's when the ticket sale
started coming in and we didn't find out until the
day of, which was March twenty eighth, you guys, that
the Lunardio was sold out, and I was just excited.
It was a very important because it wasn't only a
(04:01):
concert for my Mexico fans, but also for the platforms,
all the platforms, all the digital platforms, my record label,
a lot of promoters. It was like their first time
really saying okay, Cheeky's as a singer, you know what
I mean. And we killed it. I think we did
an amazing job. My banda Ana, they are amazing, you guys.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
We rehearsed. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It was so crazy because I have a teleprompter just
for like as a safety net, but I know all
the songs. But I just psyched myself out sometimes and
I felt like I didn't even need to use it,
like I was just in the moment, feeling everything, feeling
the energy of the crowd, and oh my god, can
I tell you guys, like those fans of Mexico. Mexico fans,
(04:46):
they are so passionate, they are so down for you.
Like I'm not saying that, you know, in the United States,
my fans aren't down for me, because you guys are.
I always say my boss be's are the best. I
honestly mean that from the bottom of my heart. You
guys do things for me that I don't see other
artists talk about. Or maybe they do and they just
won't talk about it. I don't know, but you guys
(05:06):
are the best. But in Mexico, I don't know if
it was because it was my first, my own first show,
because again I've been at festivals, I've been invited to
people's concerts, but this was like my first real concert,
like my concert, so it was like, I don't know,
it was just like this overwhelming feeling. And they knew
all my songs. You guys like songs that have never
(05:29):
been a single, and my favorite song number seven in
trebas on the Abahrena album. They sing it, it's never
been a single, I haven't done a music video for it,
and they were freaking singing all of my songs.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It was just an amazing moment, and it was an
important show because it was recorded both visually and audio.
So you guys, there will be a live album, something
I've been wanting for a long time. And I can
honestly tell you I sound so good for not being
on a stage for more than like almost four months.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Of course I rehearsed, of course I do my vocal
coaching all that stuff, but I don't know, I just
felt so good in every aspect. I loved, you know,
the outfits, and that's one thing I told myself, Okay,
we're gonna do ave Herena Barrellos, which means we gotta
level up. We got to upgrade the wardrobe. I bought
the bandam outfits, you know, shoes. I want them to
(06:27):
look like me. You know, I wear tennis shoes. But
then also we're proud to be Latinos, so we've got
to show that side as well, and you know, regional
Mexican and stuff. So that's kind of like what this
whole tour has been about, Like the bandanas and you
know that the Hannahs all in one, you know, the
Mexican and American side of me. So we're still doing
that in this part too, but I'm adding different songs,
(06:49):
songs that people have been asking for, like songs from
like my previous albums. I've also added corridos, something that
I love, you know, as you guys know, both my
ave Herena songs are corridos, and I love corrios. I mean,
that's what I grew up on, you guys, listening to
Cheli No Sanchez to do rassos. I mean, like I
can't even think of who else but a bunch of corrillos.
(07:10):
So I added a little bit of that, and that's
kind of what it is, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
We just leveled it up.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Like all the colors right now for a head right now,
you guys are red, silver, and black. That's all we're
going to see on this tour. Oh and a hint
of yellow. And that's what I did in Lunatio. I
did change so the yellow because of course, you know,
bees honey, you know, so in some concerts I will
have like a yellow outfit here and there, but mainly
everything will be red, black and silver. I wanted it
(07:37):
to be just very like a theme, you know, and
easier on me as well, because trying to find something
to wear every show is not only expensive, but it's
time consuming. So I was like, let's make a bunch
of outfits and let's like inner change them and kind
of just stay in the like same aesthetic.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So it was great.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I think we started off this tour on the right
foot and talking about Lunadio and everything that happen. I
don't want to miss a very important part my mom
making an appearance. And here's the thing. I was very surprised.
It wasn't a surprise for me because I knew I
wanted to surprise the audience and the people that were there.
I knew my mom was going to sing. I just
(08:16):
hadn't seen the images like in the background, So it
was a surprise for the audience, But people thought it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Was a surprise for me. Mind you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I mean, I'm very like kind of micromanage everything, so
I was like, I want to know everything that's going on.
Of course, I put my set list together, everything we
rehearsed and everything. So I was just surprised because every
time I see my mom or I hear her voice,
I never know how I'm going to feel. I hadn't
seen any of the images they were beautiful and it's
(08:44):
just seeing there and it was just like that moment
of like, oh my god, that's why Johnny. I don't
know if you guys have seen some clips on TikTok
and stuff, you know, because Johnny and my brother is
now a part of the band. Johnny kind of turned
me around so that I could see the screens and
it was just like a moment of like, oh my gosh.
And it hits me sometimes, you guys, where I'm like, dude,
my mom's not here. I'm so focused and I have
(09:07):
to be strong and everything like that's like every day
I'm like I got to be strong. I got to
be strong for myself or my siblings. That it's not
that I forget that my mom's out here, but in
those types of moments, it really hits hard. It's like,
oh shit, my mom's not here. And I don't know
if if that makes any sense, but those of you
that have lost a parent or a loved one, like
I know, you're gonna know what I mean. Because even
though it's been ten years since my mom's passing, there
(09:29):
are days when I'm like driving not even thinking about anything,
and it's like I get like this feeling in my
chest of like, oh my gosh, my mom's ot here,
Like I wish I could call her, and like I
start crying out of nowhere, because it doesn't matter how
old I am, I'm always going to need my mom,
you know. So it was a beautiful moment and the
crowd loved it and just hearing her voice. I didn't
(09:50):
want to hear it in the rehearsals. I just knew
it was going to happen, but I hadn't rehearsed that part.
I just knew I know what I'm singing. I don't
know what she's going to sing or how she's going
to sound. So all of that was like a moment
of like whoa for me and just hearing her It's
just thank goodness for technology, you guys, that I'm able
to have those moments.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It was beautiful. It was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
The next day, I went to a radio festival, which
had me nervous as well, because I'm like, okay, it's free.
People can go there for free. What if they don't
buy tickets for Lunati. That was another reason why I
was like, oh my god, the tickets are slow whatever,
And people were saying oh, well, chicks notienne publica Mexico,
which means well, Chiki's doesn't have a you know, an
audience here. And people thought that it was gonna flop.
(10:38):
That's what was happening two weeks before the Lunadi. You
guys imagine that stress. But I was like, no, this
happened for a reason. It's happening at the right time.
God would not place me in this place at this
moment to fail, Like I, I've gone through way too much.
And I just kept repeating that, and I was like,
the Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I just kept repeating.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
When I would find myself getting nervous, I was like, oh,
everything's gonna be fine, And look at God showing off
and showing up in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
We sold out. So anyways, going back to the festival.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
The next day was the festival, and again it was
free and I was second to last to perform.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's late.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I had my engineers, and in festivals usually you shouldn't
take your own engineers because it takes a long time
from like one band to the next. It's like this
whole thing and the wiring and the whole thing. Anyways,
it took forty five minutes. You guys, imagine from the
last performer, the one before me, forty five minutes for
me to come on. Mind you, I didn't know what
was going on. You know, my team doesn't tell me that,
(11:37):
don't want me to get nervous. I didn't find this
out until the next day. But Irakulba, it was my
team's fault because they wanted to change everything up and
switch everything up and make it sound amazing because they
take care of me. But at a festival. Now we've
learned we shouldn't do that. We're learning little by little.
But anyways, took forty five minutes. So the crowd was upset.
(11:59):
They were already like whistling Chiflando like hey, like they
were kind of like they were impatient, and I understand
and everybody. I saw everybody's face. I was like, what's
going on? Because someone was telling me like I thought
that it was them. You know, I'm just sitting here
waiting for an hour and a half, you guys sitting
in my green room waiting to go on stage, and
I thought it was their fault, the festival's fault, right AnyWho,
(12:19):
So I see everyone's face and everyone's kind of like nervous.
I walk on stage, and my band and Johnny their
little faces were like, and I'm like, shit, something's up.
But we hadn't communicated because you know, everyone was doing
their own thing. So I went on and sure enough,
I felt the crowd, you guys, I felt the crowd.
They were upset. They were just looking at me straight face.
They were pissed. And I was like, Okay, this is
(12:41):
my chance to prove to myself, to prove to everyone,
the people that brought me here, the radio station that
brought me here, that I got what it takes. So
I made it my mission to switch their faces. And
I said, I'm going to give my all. Mind you,
it's late as hell. It was one point thirty, I
think in the morning in Mexico. People are tired. There
was still another artist after me, so my time was
(13:04):
cut a lot shorter because you have to be respectful
for the next person. So I was kind of like,
I felt rushed and everything. But I saw their faces
change right before my eyes.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
They went from I'm so pissed looking at me up
and down. Imagine that energy, to where they're like, okay,
nodding their heads smiling a little bit, and it was
so gratifying to say, Wow, it was like confirmation for
me again, like I am here, I'm leaving my footprint,
and this is what it's all about. You're not always
(13:34):
going to have people, necessarily, especially at festivals. Going from
a show like Lunadia where everyone was there to see
you to a festival where people are pissed and not
all of them are there to see you. That is
your opportunity as an artist to say I'm going to
show you what I can do. Maybe you don't like me,
maybe you don't know my music, but this is what
it's all about. I'm gonna get on this stage and
give it my all and seeing my heart out so
(13:56):
that you can fall in love with the songs and
maybe with myself. So it was tough and they did
cut my time in half, but I was so proud.
I was like, dude, we freaking did it. And before
I forget, one of the things that I'm doing in
this new tour A Part two is I'm crowning people.
(14:18):
And I know this sounds crazy, you guys, and some people,
especially like maybe some Christians or really religious people will
see it as a bad thing because I am talking
about God on stage when I'm wearing some like little
shorts and dancing really sexy and having tequila and cussing.
Because I've heard little things here and there it's like,
how can she talk about God? How can she pray
(14:39):
on stage? And honestly, I don't give I can give
two fucks about what those people are saying, because this
is where you touch people's hearts. God gave me this opportunity,
this voice, and I'm going to use it in the
best way possible. And this is why I always call
myself a spiritual gangster, you guys, because yes, I twerk,
but I also go to church. Yes I cuss, but
I love God. I feel like it's all balanced. It's
(15:02):
the yin and the yank and I live with good
intentions and not just because I cuss and I kiss
girls sometimes and I like to dance sexy and I
drink tequila doesn't mean that God loves me any less.
Absolutely not. And that's why a lot of people stay
we're from church because they feel judged. Right, This is
a whole other episode, you guys. But I just needed
to say this because I saw some comments and not
(15:23):
that I even want to give that too much attention,
but I do want to express this because it's important
to me. I told God in my prayers and in
the darkest moments of my life, God, I know you
have me here for a reason, because there are a
lot of times that I've wanted to give up, say yeah,
ask taki yanopoilo because it's tough. It's been an uphill
(15:44):
battle for me. But I'm grateful and anyways, and in
those moments, I have told God, Look, this is what
you want for me. I know that there's something huge coming.
Help me stay strong, and I promise you that when
we get to those big stages, I will glorify your name,
you know. And it's not even about me preaching or anything.
It's showing through my experience, through my life, everything that
(16:06):
I have lived through and gone through. I wouldn't be
here if it wasn't for the grace and favor of God,
if it wasn't for my faith in God, my spirituality.
I don't know how I would have been here. Losing
my mom the way I lost her, everything that I've
gone through, It's a higher power. That's all I could say.
And I want to share that with everyone. And I
wanted people to understand that it's not me that I'm
(16:28):
the abe Herena, that I'm a badass bitch that this,
and that I feel I'm better than everyone else. That's
not what it is. It's I earned this crown. I
didn't always have it. It fell a few times, you
know what I mean. I had to pick it up
off the floor and put it back on my head
and say, no, I am here to stay whether you
want me to or not. And I'm not saying you guys,
but other people, negative people want me to be here
or not. It's not up to you, guys. It's up
(16:50):
to the man upstairs, to the higher power. And that's
what this crown, the abe Herena, is all about. And
I've been doing it at every show and I just
close my eyes on stage, you guys, and I pray
on stage, buzzed or not, looking like Lahuchi or not.
I pray cause it doesn't matter what you look like
or how you dress. If you want to talk to God,
(17:12):
He's always here to listen. So yup, I take that
moment in the festival to you, guys.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I was like, I'm not getting off this stage without
giving someone this crown. I brought this crown and that's
part of my show. And I was already like having
to get off, but I was like, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm doing this.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So anyways, I close my eyes and I pray, and
I'm like, God, help me choose the person that you
want me to speak to.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And I just open my eyes and I.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Look around, and whoever I connect with is the person
that I just feel it in my heart. I don't
even know how to explain it. And I say a
few words. I don't even know what I'm going to say.
I don't even recite it. You guys, It's just here.
I made it this far and I still haven't gotten
to where I want to get. And I know that
there are going to be more trials and obstacles in
(17:54):
my path, but I am here, fur, and that's basically
the message that I give them. No matter what you've
gone through, you are also in Avejarrena, in the Nunadio,
there was this guy named Jordan. It was a guy
and that's who I spoke to. Oh my god, his heart,
Oh my goodness. He was such a beautiful guy. Like
his little eyes, the way he looked at me, you guys,
Oh my goodness. It was just I can still remember
(18:17):
his look, the look on his face, and how happy
he was to receive this crown, and it was just
I want people to feel special because we are, because
sometimes we get so consumed with life and the negativity
that we forget that we are all here for a
reason and we have to let our light shine. And
I want to be that person to remind you guys.
(18:39):
So anyways, that's what the whole thing with the crown is,
and it has it's all. They're all custom made.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Have my guy who puts the bees on there, and
it's the abe Herena crown, you guys. And it's been amazing.
And I gave it to Jordan, and I also gave
it to two ladies in Mexico and one in McAllen
and they loved it and I'm loving it all in all,
(19:08):
you guys. It was a successful, successful trip to Mexico.
I had a photo shoot the day after the festival,
so it was very busy and I came back very tired,
but it was worth it. I felt like, finally, you guys, finally,
all the hard work, all the late nights, all the
early mornings, all the tears are paying off, and for
(19:28):
my type of music, and I think for music in general,
you guys, Mexico is such an important blasa's what we
call it, but such an important place for your music
and for you to get to the next level as
an artist. And they're amazing. And I'm not just saying
because we're Mexican or because I'm Mexican, but I'm saying
it from the bottom of my heart, you guys. So
for me, it was a huge accomplishment. I had so
(19:51):
much fun, as tired as I was for that, for
that cover that I did for the magazine Estilo Dea
you guys, it should be coming out soon.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I think we rocked it.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It was amazing, and I just wanted to share that
with you guys because I am so proud. I'm so
proud of my team. I'm proud of myself, of my banda,
of everyone that showed up that day.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Mucha.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Bovis the Mexik and Illunario Itsueno the Lunardio is the
sister and the baby of the big place Alal and
I did a video out there, you guys, right in
front of it and I said I will be here
one day, and I have it on my vision board
and it says sold out and God willing send me
(20:31):
all your positive vibe. You guys, we are going to
do it. But this was a huge step, and I
am grateful. I'm grateful, and I loved Mexico so much
that I am really considering. I've been thinking about this
for about a year and a half or more. Actually,
I want to get an apartment out there and lather Mexico.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I think it's going to happen this year. It has
to happen this year. I want to spend more time
in Mexico. I want to do more interviews Kio Seras Presentia.
I want I want to kind of just be in
the atmosphere and for people to know that yes, I'm
American and I'm proud to be American, but I'm also
very proud to be Mexican. So in order to do that,
I have to spend more time there and they need
(21:12):
to see me there. And I love Mexico City. It's
such a sexy ass freaking city. Like it's like La
and Miami and just so many things all in one.
And the food is amazing and the people are great,
so I think I don't know, it's either that or Waadahada,
but most likely Mexico City. So I'm definitely going to
spend more time in Mexico. I'll still have my house here,
but I'm gonna be like hopefully having two places, maybe three,
(21:35):
because I also want to go to Miami. So AnyWho,
I think we started off this tour on the right foot,
and I am proud. Honestly, I can tell you that
I am so proud of myself, and I know that
might sound weird, but I am at a point in
my life where I think it's good and it's healthy
for us to say I am proud of myself. I
am proud of how far I've come, despite the adversity,
(21:57):
the obstacles. I feel calm. Even when we had our
press conference the day before the concert. The Mexican media
is a little scary, you guys. You know, well for
me at least, because they ask me all kinds of
questions that have nothing to do with my music, that
have nothing to do with my life, you know, asking
me questions about other artists or other things that are
(22:18):
going on in the world, or family issues, and I'm
just like, dude, I'm so past that, Like I'm respectful,
but now I'm just calm. And they even noticed it.
They're like, oh my god, scheeez, you're so different, Like
you're radiating this different light. Is it because you're happy
in your relationship? And yes, it has to do with
my relationship, I'm in peace, but it also has to
do with how I feel about myself. And I feel confident,
(22:40):
and I feel secure, and I feel worthy, and I
feel got bass, I feel capable, you know what I mean.
Like I really do feel that way. I feel like
I've lost fear. And even if I were to fall
on stage, God forbid, you know, but it happens to
the best of us. It happened to Carol g and
she handled it like a free and queen. And even
(23:01):
if something like that would happen, I'm not like afraid
anymore of like everything that could go wrong. I'm thinking
of everything that can go right, you know. That's I
think what switched. And I'm like, well, I'm here because
God wants me to be here. This is my mission,
this is my testimony, this is my platform. And if
I wasn't meant to be here, I wouldn't be here.
And once that clicked, it was just like, oh shoot,
(23:22):
like I just feel free to do and be me
completely an f what anyone else thinks.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It's just been.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Growing and growing more every time that. It's not that
I'm not nervous before going on stage, because I was nervous,
but even that is ham It's like silent, It's not
as loud anymore in my tummy, in my mind right
before going on stage. So I was a little nervous,
but not as much as I used to be. And
(23:49):
I hope those nerves and those butterflies never go away,
because I feel like that is a sign of you
being completely passionate of what you're doing. You love what
you're doing, so you're gonna feel a little nervous because
at least me, I want to do my very best.
But now it's a different it's just different. I'm completely present.
Before I would go on stage and the first song,
I was still kind of like, oh shoot, like worried
about the crowd and worried about what they were thinking
(24:11):
and how they were feeling. And now it's like, dude,
I'm here, let me show you. Even if you don't
know this song I'm gonna sing it with my whole
heart so that you can fall in love with the song.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
You know what I mean. It's so different and that's
what it's all about. I wasn't ready to stop with the.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Abe Herena tour, so that's so I was like, I
need a part too, and there's more music coming out,
so I'm still trying to figure out if it's going
to be a deluxe or a B side.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Trying to figure that out.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So if you want to catch the abe Herena experience,
I will be sharing my next tour dates. I'm trying
to focus mainly in Mexico, like that was my plan
for this year, but we are going to be hitting
Texas and Chicago and a lot more states, so I
will keep you guys updated. But I'm definitely looking forward
(24:55):
to sharing this with you guys. The full set list
is amazing, you guys, Like it's not just because I
put it together and I chose the songs and everything,
but it's really fun, like I have to, for one,
enjoy what I'm singing and that time in the Lunario
because in these last two shows that I did after
the Lunardio, I wasn't able to do my entire set list,
(25:17):
but it was over two hours, two and a half hours,
you guys at the Lunardio, and it was amazing. It
felt like just fast and just it was like it
kept me wanting more. So I'm hoping that that's how
you guys feel. But I'm excited. I'm excited, and I'm
not gonna have like a crazy amount of shows just
because I have been telling myself I want to work smarter,
(25:40):
not harder, and I want to do and hit places
that I wasn't able to hit in the part one
of Avena, so I just wanted to clear that up.
And I also want to kind of save myself and
as an artist. And because I do my best to
give my absolute best all the time at every show,
it does deplete me a little bit, you know, and
I'm exerting so much energy that I want to make
(26:01):
sure I give myself some time in between my shows
to give you guys my absolute best because I can
go out there and hit it hard, but also it
exhausts me mentally and emotionally. So that's why I was like,
I really want to take care of that aspect so
that I can give you guys my absolute best. So anyways,
I will share all my dates with you guys, and
hopefully I'm able to see you guys soon.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Okay, and before we go, I want.
