Oh that's right all the time.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I love I love it. So I'm going to start
off because I got I did some research on her. Listen,
Flora is to you, honey, and the floor is always mine. Okay. Anyway,
she started at a very very young age. Okay, very young.
What is that?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
That is my phone? I'm so sorry, you guys. I
don't know how to turn on. I'm I'm talking to
you guys over my laptop, and my messages are connected
to my laptop.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I don't worry about it. It's just very busy. So
we already know that we try.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
To turn it out.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Okay, I'll start over. Yeah, okay, she started as a
very young girl. Okay, twelve years old. She actually started
at eight, right, she started eight. So you have a
very musical family, from what I understand.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Very musical. I think everyone in my family actually has
some part in the music industry in their own way.
It's pretty crazy really. Yeah. So my you know, my dad,
he's been in the industry for so long, he's worked
for so many labels. He now does radio promotion. He's
been doing his whole life. And then my brother he
(07:40):
actually produced my entire album. He's an incredible producer. My
other brother is a DJ. And I was in a
girl group with my two sisters. Right.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh, and you won like the Vising Star competition at twelve.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, that was pretty crazy. And then my mom
has been my mom a year whole life. She knows
everything there is to know about management and so she's
she's helped me a lot in my career. So yeah, everyone,
everyone's in it. It's a family team.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So how many how many sisters were in it?
Speaker 7 (08:14):
So it was me and my two sisters.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, wow, we were called Mahia mahia. Okay, so how
is that growing up with you know, two, did you
fight a lot? You're talking about three girls, Okay, you're
talking about three boys are different three girls?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
You know?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Of course we had our little moments. But maybe I
was the youngest and my oldest is six years older
than me, so I'm more of looked up to her,
kind of like a second motherly figure in a sense,
like when we were on tour and things like that.
I don't maybe I didn't always like what she said,
but I always listened to her because she was much
older than me, and then my other sister, she's were
(08:55):
only a year apart, so we were the babies, and
so we were just like we just you know, she
led away, and she because she's older, she has been
in the industry longer than I have doing, you know,
go being on tour, being signed to record label, stuff
like that, and so I always took her advice and
respected it. Although I like I said it, and I
always like it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I know how it is.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
The piece.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I know exactly how it is because I had an
older brother and an older sister. But you know, it
was like anybody else could talk to me and I
would be like, oh, okay, cool. My brother would say
something like yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
Whatever, yeah, like no matter what it is, like, Okay, I.
Speaker 13 (09:35):
Grew up with two older sisters, so yeah, did you
listen to them?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Did you listen to them?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (09:43):
Yeah, being the youngest and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Always listened to Teresa Justine.
Speaker 13 (09:49):
Yeah, because you know what, I had a lot of
respect for my two older sisters and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Not their boyfriend, but I respect them.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
I think it's different with boys.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
I think it's a different kind of relationship than when
it's all girls, because girls more like you know, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
That's why they say feline and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, I used to shut the door all the time when.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But it's the cool thing. I mean, it's it's it's
normal for siblings to not always see die, you know.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know, me and my brother we had our moments too,
you know, love you John, but you know.
Speaker 13 (10:31):
He was you know, but I was the only one
that really did me and my father and stuff like that,
So I did. Teresa could sing, but she's never really
you know.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Okay, yeah, you're right, that's how it is, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
So when you started this group, and I want to
know a little bit about when you toured. You actually
went to Australia for the slime Fest.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
So yeah, So I've been in multiple girl groups. I've
always been a girl group. Girls. I was in. My
first girl group was called LT three, which just less
than three and there was two of us, right, And
that's why I actually won the Rising Store Los Angeles
Rising Star Award with was with LT three, And then
(11:21):
I was in the Mahia Sisters and we went to
China and we toured forty five cities across China. I
was in China for months and months and months, which
was a crazy experience. And then I was in a
group called g R L under So with g r
(11:42):
L we we toured Australia and we headlined the Nickelodeon
slime Fest. Yeah, which was I was that?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
She said Nickelodeon.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Yeah, it is incredible. I you know, I haven't been
working at this for such a long time. When I
was on that stage in an arena where everybody was
screaming the lyrics back at us, it was so surreal
and I was like, Okay, I've made it. Like that
was the moment where I was like whoa, Okay, thank you,
thank you God, I've done it. That tour on its
(12:18):
own was just so surreal. It was like four am
wake up calls every day, radio station to radio, driving around,
hearing our song on the radio, when we were going
from interview to interview, we were on the news, we
were doing meet and greets, we were doing club shows,
arena shows, and I was like this, wow, Like although
(12:38):
I had been doing it my whole life, that felt
like an overnight success. How fast that took off. Like
that girl group specifically, I was like, Okay, this is
what I've been doing it for.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, that's exciting to be. Like, where was your favorite
place to travel?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
M I would say, I would say China?
Speaker 14 (12:58):
Really, yeah, I really it felt like another world from
you know, from obviously La, but they really roll out
the red carpet for you in China.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
They they treat their American artists like their Michael Jackson like,
that's how I felt. So being in China and seeing
like our billboards across buildings and literally having security guards
tickets everywhere and having that was my first taste of, like,
I guess, fame in a sense, the way that they
(13:33):
treated us there. Our name and lights, and I know
that was when I was with my sister, so felt
really special. But I just like China, how they how
they treated us with so much disrespect and kindness and gratitude,
and I just felt I felt really special.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, I get that a lot because especially like not
only just China, just in Europe in general.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Too, everywhere else, everywhere else.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Everywhere else. It's true because I mean I've gone well,
you know, I've gone to Greece because I have family there,
but like things around there that they just take it
in differently than they do here in the States. Very appreciative, right,
it's very appreciative of the of the talent and the
music that comes from other countries. And they're just it's
(14:19):
not like they bow down to you. It's just now
treating with the utmost respect exactly.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
That's exactly what it is. It's just a respect level
and it's just beautiful. I was grateful. I was like, wow,
like I feel so grateful to be here.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, you know, and I understand that perfectly, and you know,
they just you know, there's a difference between going to
a place in a venue in China and going to
a venue in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I'm not saying I got no uh you know.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
You know, it's kind of like they they live in
the future there as well, like the technology and like
the the way the buildings would light up. It was
it was like I've never seen it before there. The
stages were insane like things that I'm just like, WHOA,
Like this is really felt like I was in another world.
That's all I can say.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I was in a big city, Hong Kong, right, huge
city right in.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Japan, that's Shanghai.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, everyone to say.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I was just like, you know, it's on my bucket list.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Oh, I've never been to Dubai.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I would love to Its cool, bis cool, Okay, Dubai's cool.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's cool. No, it's more than cool. It's it's it's
go ahead, help me out here, Jesse.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Honestly, I really I've never been. I really would love
to go it just like like you yeah, let's go. Honestly,
it just seems, you know, I like like the bougie life,
and it's like kind of it seems really nice. It
seems like, you know, you dress up and you go
to dinner and they have the clods that you ride around.
(16:03):
It seems fun It seems like.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Funnel now when you go into the buildings. They were
ridiculous every time. When you go into the buildings first
time again there you go right into the all the time.
You look up and everything's just like, you know, I've
never been there.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
But you know what, as odd as it may seem,
I've actually been to Canada in downtown Montreal. Okay, clean
you can eat off the subway floor. Yeah, that's how
clean it was.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Wow, it was. It was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And they have the the trains that run on tires,
they don't on like normal steel rails or whatever. And
I'm not kidding. When I went into the subway, but
the Metro, excuse me, the Metro, and I saw the
cars and they had like TV monitors, marble they had.
(16:59):
It was I was besides myself. They even had an
underworld city.
Speaker 11 (17:04):
It was.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, it's time Montreal. It's only six and a half
of six and a half hour drive.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
What six and a half hours to get there from
New York.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Oh, from New York for me in LA it's a
lot further. That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It'll be a little bit longer, maybe another.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Just a little bit longer. I spent some time in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Toronto was nice too, was nice.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I liked it. The city life kind of reminded me
about Los Angele. It wasn't too different from La in
my opinion, except I mean I went during like a
sunny week.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Canada. I mean, for them to get like I think
it was like sixty degrees was like a bonus.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
When I was there, it was in the sixties and
that was like the hottest at that time. And that
was like in August.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, so Canada is cool. But it's cool.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
It's really cool. So anyway, I was getting off of them. Sorry,
So we can talk a little bit about your album
that just came out in September. Yeah, cool Daydream correct. Yeah,
so tell us a little bit about that album.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
So Daydream, like I said earlier, I was produced by
my brother. The entirety of the album was written by
us too. We were the team. It kind of happened
in the sense because you know, like I said, I've
been working with a lot of girl groups and you know,
just other producers throughout time, and I was kind of
(18:41):
taking a break, I felt a little bit just overwhelmed
by the music industry, and I was like, Okay, I
need to kind of take a step back and kind
of figure out who I am in this music industry
because it's been dictated a lot by a lot of
other people. That's just how it goes, you know, a
lot of other opinions and stuff like that. And then
(19:01):
one day my brother texted me said, hey, let's make
you an album. I said, I'm in Let's do it.
And it took us about a year to complete the
album and it was just it was such a fun experience.
I feel like my brother knows me better than most people,
and so it flowed so well. And it, you know,
(19:22):
kind of talks about if you pay attention, it kind
of it kind of talks about my life starting as
a child up until now in the sense where you know,
it starts with the song Daydream, and it talks about
when I was a kid, I would you know, sit
around and I would dream about, you know, all all
(19:43):
the things that I wanted to do when I grew up.
When it came to the music industry, I wanted to
like be on these big stages and travel the world
and all of these things, but I was just a
little girl, and so that song was like the perfect starter.
And then it goes into you know, love situations. I've
had situations and shifts and friendships and moves into now
(20:04):
and just being kind of grateful. My last song on
the album is called wake Up and just about just
being grateful every day to just have another chance to
reinvent yourself and just every day I'm just grateful to
be alive, honestly and do it all again.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You know, she's done so much so far. You know,
she has done a lot. I want to get into
some of the music. We do have some video if

you always surprised me.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
You never know.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm not even gonna you know what I mean, I'm
not even gonna say nothing. Yeah, I'm staying out of
that one. I please the.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Fifth Well, I would just you know, I would love
to do something like that. Not that I have the
musical talent, but I would love to tour with somebody,
let's just see what it's like. Yeah, you know, I'm
trying to say, like I would love to live that world,
being like a like an assistant or something and traveling
(30:54):
with a pop star.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
It's a lot. It's a lot of fun. It's a
lot of work, but it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
A lot of fun, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But when you love to do what you do, Yeah,
always fun.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It depends if you don't get put on the bus.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Well it yeah, it depends how much sleep you got
because if you're on no sleep, not as fun exactly.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It depends on if you got the bus and you
had the bunker, call it the bunker, the bunker bunk.
Speaker 13 (31:24):
Yeah, like this, and then I'll feel like this and
it'll be like three different right here, it'll be different,
like like bumpers, like.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
People sleep like that.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
And then you go way back down there where the
star is and he has his own little room, but
you have all the roadies on top of.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
The little beds like this.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
No, no, no, no, no, it doesn't do.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
You should have seen the way we traveled in China.
We were in a van.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Oh wow, big van though, right.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Big enough to fit everybody who was needed.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Oh my god, I mean yeah, you know, it's the traveling.
I guess. Yeah, maybe I'll just stay.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Home, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know, no, no, oh no, no, you'll You're not
making it that appetizing.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
For me, it is fun. It's fun. It's worth it.
It's worth it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You don't even then you're like throwing a wrench into it.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
No, for a pop star, it's fun maybe.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
You know, we got different genres of music and stuff
like that, so sometimes, you know, what's the difference.
Speaker 13 (32:19):
Hip hop is a lot different traveling with more people,
and it's gonna be more hard. Oh congestion, Yeah, we heard.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You know what I'm saying. They're gonna have like the
pop stars for the females and stuff like that. It
was a lot different because you had a bunch of acts,
that's true.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, so you're saying like ten guys and one yeah, basically,
and then you know there's a lot of it might
be fun for me, Oh whoa, but ten guys in
one vehicle. That's crazy.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You know, sometimes they do that, man.
Speaker 13 (32:58):
And a lot of the roads in America are not
good roads to be literally sitting in a bus for
eight hours on but it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Well, if I went on a tour, I would want
to go first class on an airplane.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
There you go as you deserve, thank you, Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I do first class. I'm playing the devil at advocately.
Well you can be okay, fine. So anyway, when you
do tour, though, do you do like from city to city?
Like is it like back and forth back and forth
kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Back to back to back like really, most of the
time the flights are six in the morning to the
next city. If if you're or you got to leave
the airport sorry or your hotel at four in the morning,
so you land, you go straight to soundcheck, you eat,
you do the show. Oh no, you do the meet
and greet, and then you do the show and then
(33:52):
you sleep barely and then by four in the morning
you're off to the airport and land. Repeat. And usually
you land at maybe six am and you go straight
into interviews or radio or whatever you've got to do
all the pr stuff and then straight into soundcheck, meet
and great show. So there's really no route. So I
(34:13):
say I went to China, but did I because I
had no time to even actually see anything outside of
the bus, the plane and the venue.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
Yeah, that's how they do it because again you're you're
you're a product. Look at you that you got to
promote yourself. You gotta be here, you gotta do this,
you gotta do that, you gotta do this. You gotta time,
no free time.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
No, it's like going on a flight and getting picked
up airport just to drop off.
Speaker 13 (34:40):
Now you get picked up, they take you to the
place where the location is. They say, you got to
talk to this person here, here's the PRS. You gotta
go down right here of course, see the pr there. Okay, boom,
you do this and you hit the radio. Then you
go to your show and then they go, okay, now
what you guys got to do is go to rehearsal, Yes, rehearsal, soundcheck,
and then at to wards, you got to wait for
the night.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Night happens.
Speaker 13 (35:02):
Boom, you do your show, you go back to your hotel,
you sleep for two or three hours. They call you
back up and they got to be on the plane.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
And then most nice, there's also the club appearances. So
you're actually from show, you're exhausted, and they're like, we
got to go to the club and now you're at
the club and you're on the table, and you're at
the club, you know, trying to act like you're having
a good time what you are, but you're exhausted because you're.
Speaker 19 (35:27):
Falling on you don't don't lie it in his name, saying, man,
he had the bottle like this is like.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Looking right now, like he totally couldn't do whatever you
want up to you. But I mean it makes it
a lot more difficult to keep going. If you're getting
lit every night, it's not easy to keep.
Speaker 13 (35:46):
What happened is because he didn't like to drink, so
they always used to give him like a bottle, like
somebody to do like a so he literally sit here.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
So one day he's just exhausted. He did the show.
We did the show.
Speaker 19 (35:57):
He's like, and I'm like, yo, bro, they're looking right
now the camera, the guys literally the camera. Dude sitting
there like this and camera on in my hand. He's
not even paying touch because he's like, I half deck
because he just did like you know what I'm saying,
the show's studio.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Now, everything.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Listens goes.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
You got a smile at the camera coming.
Speaker 13 (36:21):
I just can't you know what's so cool though talking
with you is that you're bringing back old memories of
like that that kind of time, you know, because everybody
thinks being an artist is easy. No, when you're a
professional recording artist, it's like a full time job and
most of the time we.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Don't even see the family most of the time because
you got to keep that appearance on twenty four seven.
Speaker 7 (36:47):
And then for female artists as well, we also have
hair and makeup cold times as well, so we all
that takes two hours, and then in a girl group
it's like two hours girl, you know. Because I was
always the youngest, I always had to go first, so
I got the least sleep. So they'd be like, Jazzy,
you're on the three am hair and wickup call time.
(37:11):
You yep every time? Holy cow, I'm back from the
club at two, and then at three I go into
hair and make up for the next dude.
Speaker 13 (37:20):
I don't know how you did that, man, because they
used to try to get us to do like the wardrobes,
and I was just like, nah, man, were going to sleep,
and we would just when they would try to not
we would just shut the lights off.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Everybody is knocked out.
Speaker 7 (37:33):
If you if you even mess up an hour of
their time at the whole days thrown off, and yep,
I can't do that to people.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, really, see this is why I'm not in the
music music industry.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
One.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I can't sing to begin with. So that's that's a
factor right there. You know, But two make up, I
think I would be done in like twenty minutes. I'm
not like, you know, I you know, I just I
don't do that all I get it.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
I would sleep in the makeup, sir, like this, let
them do their thing.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I hear you.
Speaker 12 (38:07):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
So anyway, m hm, okay, so you want to take
a commercial break. Okay, we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (38:14):

he doesn't care because you know, the energy is about
the words of the Shah.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
And we're back, okay, so.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
I know.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
So it's gonna be a little one on one right
now with me and you. But now I want to
get you know what because we were just talking about that,
because you were saying that you were newly married. Yeah,
so it's been how long now.
Speaker 7 (42:30):
We're married a year and a half ago, so.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
You're still in that honeymoon stage. Correct. Oh, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 7 (42:39):
Thinking that's going to last forever. We were together eight
years before we got married. Sorry seven years, so you know, so, yeah,
we've been together a long time.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
It's like it's like those kind of relationships actually do
less because it's like, yeah, you know what, we should
just get married, you know, because it's like you've been
together for so long. But how is it now different
with you more like you know what you're doing in
the industry and stuff. Is he more involved in it
or is it like.
Speaker 7 (43:12):
He he met me? Well, we for sorry not met me.
We first started dating and talking while I was on tour,
So we're kind of in a long distance in a
sense because I was gone a lot, and you know,
we would do facetimes in the few hours that I
had in between, like we were talking about that crazy schedule.
And so now now that we're together, I need him
(43:33):
with me everywhere. Yeah, he's with me everywhere, and I'm
so I'm so grateful to have him. He like keeps
me very calm and centered and grounded and like everything's
gonna be okay, and he's extremely supportive.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
No, that's the best because even like with me and Danny,
you know, he had his career at the beginning, you know,
because he was the rap artist, the DJ and stuff
like that, and I was just doing my own. We
were totally separate. And then it was weird because then
when we got together and he made the show and everything,
(44:08):
and it kind of snowballed into what it is right now.
We weren't expecting it to go, you know, Plateau after Plateau. Yeah,
it brought it. It did bring us closer though, you know,
but sometimes like too close, you know, you know saying this,
it's like because they the thing. The good thing is
(44:29):
is that when we're with each other all the time,
but at the same time, we're not always together. So
when but when I'm not with him, he goes nuts.
Oh he's back, you know, because he when we're not together, right, No.
Speaker 7 (44:51):
I get it. I used to be so independent and
now I'm so codependent.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Called me up and I'm like, what do you want
And he's like, I'm just going to see how you're
doing it is though it's out for you know, but
I always tell her, man, I always look over is
that she's my backbone, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 13 (45:10):
So it's like, you gotta be going places right, and
you know, when you're together with the person, I don't.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Care what anybody says. You'd be like, oh thank god,
I'm away right. Wait for about like what five hours?
Speaker 4 (45:24):
Us ringing it goes?
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Man, I miss.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (45:27):
You're going to go home tonight?
Speaker 7 (45:29):
Man?
Speaker 1 (45:30):
I know, but this is a different type of thing, man.
Speaker 13 (45:32):
Yeah, well you know I have that effect on man.
It's not that man, it's honest to god, you got
the gentlemen. Oh look she's laughing there because she knows.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
I love her.
Speaker 13 (45:46):
I like what we were talking about though, a lot
of a lot of artists, because a lot of people
watches that are independent artists that want to get to
the next level.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
And what I like that you were expressing too is that, hey,
you know, it's cool, but it's a lot of work.
Speaker 13 (46:01):
Like what I love hearing you basically talk about was
the you know, an hour can change your whole day
and the whole mood.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
And people won't even realize that being an artist, there.
Speaker 7 (46:17):
Is time schedule and you're on everybody else's time.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, but you do, but you do always try to
find time for yourselves, you know, and.
Speaker 7 (46:28):
Then it does depend they'll try to schedule that in
after three months that are like this week and three
months you're free.
Speaker 19 (46:41):
Right, Yeah, and everybody gets mad at us. I don't
know if you had that like with like family and
like friends, be like, bro, like.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (46:49):
Man?
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Like you couldn't hit me up, but you can give
me a text of my bro.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (46:55):
A lot of that, A lot of Uh is this
a one sided friendship? I feel like we're always called
telling you and I'm like, no, I love you. I
just I can't I physically not right now, but I
love you.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
Yeah, you know a lot of times because this show
is not our only gig. Okay, we have a normal
job that we do five in the morning. Wow, every
morning we get up. He gets up at four thirty.
I get up at five, right, and we get home
about what five six o'clock at night? Depending Yeah, you know,
(47:30):
so we're working like ten twelve hours a day. Then
you get home and it's you know, find something to
eat and then catch up on the show. Because like
when I get home tonight, I'm already working on next
week's show. You know what I'm saying. Because it takes
that week to get in talk with the artists, right,
you get their bio, the pictures, the video and everything.
(47:52):
You know, I'm working on that and people don't realize that.
And I'm like, you think that we have time and
we just don't, you know. And then by Friday night, right,
we get home from work and everybody's going out like
what do you guys doing this, and that we're sleeping?
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Yeah exactly. But I want to get back to something
real quickly.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
I want to get back to the process of making
that new album.
Speaker 7 (48:20):
Okay, god, yeah, let's get back to it.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
What do you want to know?
Speaker 2 (48:25):
What do you want to know?
Speaker 5 (48:26):
I only know.
Speaker 13 (48:27):
My thing is I want to know, like what I know,
Like when your brother called you, you said, right, it
generated you basically right to get back into that. Yeah,
So just get the process of when you basically felt
comfortable that this album is actually gonna do something.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Like a lot of artists, is right.
Speaker 13 (48:46):
We might pick something up and think something's good, like
an idea, but then we know when we're done with
the album that the album is actually going to do something.
You know, I say, it's just feeling. So what I'm
asking you right now just to make it. Yeah, did
you feel what was the song that made you feel like,
all right, are ready to go?
Speaker 7 (49:05):
The song?
Speaker 2 (49:06):
Yes, that's a hard one.
Speaker 7 (49:12):
That kind of how it worked was I had been
writing on my own because I never stopped making music,
so I'll start there. So even when I was taking
a break, you know, that's that's my therapy. So I
had I had always I had a lot of songs,
personal songs that were really special to me. And when
he wanted to make an album, I set him all
(49:33):
of my ideas that I had already had and he
brought them all to life. And then he had some
ideas that he would send to me, and I would
bring those ideas to life and are the album. Which
it's kind of crazy, but the album was. We didn't
really talk on the phone one time. He lives in
Vegas and I live in LA And the entire album
(49:54):
was done through text. Wow, the entire album for one year.
It was back and forth in text, voice notes, text
voice notes, record like videos, the video recording, my logic session,
my pro tool session, how do you like this? Back
and forth, back and forth. So it was it was
(50:15):
done in such an interesting way and then by the
end of it, we had more songs then we actually
we wanted the album to have twelve songs, that ended
up having sixteen, but we ended up recording twenty plus,
and so we actually had to pick and choose which
one end of it, which ones we wanted on the album,
(50:38):
which ones we were going to say for another or
just right. And so that's why, that's how we really
were able to kind of decide on the album and
fall in love with it because we really took our
time and we had it was very personal as well
as we had a lot of options to choose from
(50:59):
at the end, because we like, all right, let's just
keep doing another one another, one another, one another.
Speaker 13 (51:04):
One, like DJ you know why, because she was thinking
in the mind, She's just like, you know what, I'm here,
I'm feeling in my comfort space.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
Let's get it. Yeah, I got it. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (51:15):
So it wasn't one song. There were so many that
I was so in love with and and it was
hard for me to even part song part ways with
a lot of the songs as well, which I deciding to.
But yeah, that's that's kind of how it came together.
So I can't even tell you what one song I can't.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
My favorite is pop star. Oh thank you, welcome?
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Yeah, yeah, pop star, pop star.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Well, I like all of them, but I really I
don't know pop. I don't know why I do.
Speaker 20 (51:45):
Like me.
Speaker 1 (51:45):
I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 13 (51:47):
I just like her styles, authentic and it sounds like
the real Like pop star singers a lot of time,
it doesn't feel cookie cut it, you know what I mean.
So watching her and I'm seeing the moves and she's
doing in and and the choreography, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (52:02):

That's why.
Speaker 5 (52:19):
I love that.
Speaker 7 (52:21):
I love pop stars so much. But what I love
about the album is that different page groups and different
people relate to different songs. And that's how I knew
that it was a good album because it wasn't just
one song that everybody loved. Everybody I speak to, every
fan that dms me, everybody I run into who's heard
the album, they all tell me something different, and I'm like, Wow,
that's so special to me that they all have a
(52:43):
different song that they resonate with and that they're playing
on repeat, and I'm like that That's all I could
ever want for an album to touch so many people
in different ways.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
Everything, everything in the body, that everything, the voice. I
just love her, thank you, I love you girl. Romance here.

Oh that's right all the time.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I love I love it. So I'm going to start
off because I got I did some research on her. Listen,
Flora is to you, honey, and the floor is always mine. Okay. Anyway,
she started at a very very young age. Okay, very young.
What is that?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
That is my phone? I'm so sorry, you guys. I
don't know how to turn on. I'm I'm talking to
you guys over my laptop, and my messages are connected
to my laptop.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I don't worry about it. It's just very busy. So
we already know that we try.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
To turn it out.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Okay, I'll start over. Yeah, okay, she started as a
very young girl. Okay, twelve years old. She actually started
at eight, right, she started eight. So you have a
very musical family, from what I understand.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Very musical. I think everyone in my family actually has
some part in the music industry in their own way.
It's pretty crazy really. Yeah. So my you know, my dad,
he's been in the industry for so long, he's worked
for so many labels. He now does radio promotion. He's
been doing his whole life. And then my brother he
(07:40):
actually produced my entire album. He's an incredible producer. My
other brother is a DJ. And I was in a
girl group with my two sisters. Right.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh, and you won like the Vising Star competition at twelve.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, that was pretty crazy. And then my mom
has been my mom a year whole life. She knows
everything there is to know about management and so she's
she's helped me a lot in my career. So yeah, everyone,
everyone's in it. It's a family team.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So how many how many sisters were in it?
Speaker 7 (08:14):
So it was me and my two sisters.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, wow, we were called Mahia mahia. Okay, so how
is that growing up with you know, two, did you
fight a lot? You're talking about three girls, Okay, you're
talking about three boys are different three girls?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
You know?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Of course we had our little moments. But maybe I
was the youngest and my oldest is six years older
than me, so I'm more of looked up to her,
kind of like a second motherly figure in a sense,
like when we were on tour and things like that.
I don't maybe I didn't always like what she said,
but I always listened to her because she was much
older than me, and then my other sister, she's were
(08:55):
only a year apart, so we were the babies, and
so we were just like we just you know, she
led away, and she because she's older, she has been
in the industry longer than I have doing, you know,
go being on tour, being signed to record label, stuff
like that, and so I always took her advice and
respected it. Although I like I said it, and I
always like it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I know how it is.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
The piece.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I know exactly how it is because I had an
older brother and an older sister. But you know, it
was like anybody else could talk to me and I
would be like, oh, okay, cool. My brother would say
something like yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
Whatever, yeah, like no matter what it is, like, Okay, I.
Speaker 13 (09:35):
Grew up with two older sisters, so yeah, did you
listen to them?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Did you listen to them?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (09:43):
Yeah, being the youngest and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Always listened to Teresa Justine.
Speaker 13 (09:49):
Yeah, because you know what, I had a lot of
respect for my two older sisters and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Not their boyfriend, but I respect them.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
I think it's different with boys.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
I think it's a different kind of relationship than when
it's all girls, because girls more like you know, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
That's why they say feline and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, I used to shut the door all the time when.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But it's the cool thing. I mean, it's it's it's
normal for siblings to not always see die, you know.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know, me and my brother we had our moments too,
you know, love you John, but you know.
Speaker 13 (10:31):
He was you know, but I was the only one
that really did me and my father and stuff like that,
So I did. Teresa could sing, but she's never really
you know.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Okay, yeah, you're right, that's how it is, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
So when you started this group, and I want to
know a little bit about when you toured. You actually
went to Australia for the slime Fest.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
So yeah, So I've been in multiple girl groups. I've
always been a girl group. Girls. I was in. My
first girl group was called LT three, which just less
than three and there was two of us, right, And
that's why I actually won the Rising Store Los Angeles
Rising Star Award with was with LT three, And then
(11:21):
I was in the Mahia Sisters and we went to
China and we toured forty five cities across China. I
was in China for months and months and months, which
was a crazy experience. And then I was in a
group called g R L under So with g r
(11:42):
L we we toured Australia and we headlined the Nickelodeon
slime Fest. Yeah, which was I was that?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
She said Nickelodeon.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Yeah, it is incredible. I you know, I haven't been
working at this for such a long time. When I
was on that stage in an arena where everybody was
screaming the lyrics back at us, it was so surreal
and I was like, Okay, I've made it. Like that
was the moment where I was like whoa, Okay, thank you,
thank you God, I've done it. That tour on its
(12:18):
own was just so surreal. It was like four am
wake up calls every day, radio station to radio, driving around,
hearing our song on the radio, when we were going
from interview to interview, we were on the news, we
were doing meet and greets, we were doing club shows,
arena shows, and I was like this, wow, Like although
(12:38):
I had been doing it my whole life, that felt
like an overnight success. How fast that took off. Like
that girl group specifically, I was like, Okay, this is
what I've been doing it for.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, that's exciting to be. Like, where was your favorite
place to travel?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
M I would say, I would say China?
Speaker 14 (12:58):
Really, yeah, I really it felt like another world from
you know, from obviously La, but they really roll out
the red carpet for you in China.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
They they treat their American artists like their Michael Jackson like,
that's how I felt. So being in China and seeing
like our billboards across buildings and literally having security guards
tickets everywhere and having that was my first taste of, like,
I guess, fame in a sense, the way that they
(13:33):
treated us there. Our name and lights, and I know
that was when I was with my sister, so felt
really special. But I just like China, how they how
they treated us with so much disrespect and kindness and gratitude,
and I just felt I felt really special.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, I get that a lot because especially like not
only just China, just in Europe in general.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Too, everywhere else, everywhere else.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Everywhere else. It's true because I mean I've gone well,
you know, I've gone to Greece because I have family there,
but like things around there that they just take it
in differently than they do here in the States. Very appreciative, right,
it's very appreciative of the of the talent and the
music that comes from other countries. And they're just it's
(14:19):
not like they bow down to you. It's just now
treating with the utmost respect exactly.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
That's exactly what it is. It's just a respect level
and it's just beautiful. I was grateful. I was like, wow,
like I feel so grateful to be here.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, you know, and I understand that perfectly, and you know,
they just you know, there's a difference between going to
a place in a venue in China and going to
a venue in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I'm not saying I got no uh you know.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
You know, it's kind of like they they live in
the future there as well, like the technology and like
the the way the buildings would light up. It was
it was like I've never seen it before there. The
stages were insane like things that I'm just like, WHOA,
Like this is really felt like I was in another world.
That's all I can say.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I was in a big city, Hong Kong, right, huge
city right in.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Japan, that's Shanghai.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, everyone to say.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I was just like, you know, it's on my bucket list.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Oh, I've never been to Dubai.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I would love to Its cool, bis cool, Okay, Dubai's cool.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's cool. No, it's more than cool. It's it's it's
go ahead, help me out here, Jesse.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Honestly, I really I've never been. I really would love
to go it just like like you yeah, let's go. Honestly,
it just seems, you know, I like like the bougie life,
and it's like kind of it seems really nice. It
seems like, you know, you dress up and you go
to dinner and they have the clods that you ride around.
(16:03):
It seems fun It seems like.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Funnel now when you go into the buildings. They were
ridiculous every time. When you go into the buildings first
time again there you go right into the all the time.
You look up and everything's just like, you know, I've
never been there.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
But you know what, as odd as it may seem,
I've actually been to Canada in downtown Montreal. Okay, clean
you can eat off the subway floor. Yeah, that's how
clean it was.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Wow, it was. It was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And they have the the trains that run on tires,
they don't on like normal steel rails or whatever. And
I'm not kidding. When I went into the subway, but
the Metro, excuse me, the Metro, and I saw the
cars and they had like TV monitors, marble they had.
(16:59):
It was I was besides myself. They even had an
underworld city.
Speaker 11 (17:04):
It was.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, it's time Montreal. It's only six and a half
of six and a half hour drive.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
What six and a half hours to get there from
New York.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Oh, from New York for me in LA it's a
lot further. That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It'll be a little bit longer, maybe another.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Just a little bit longer. I spent some time in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Toronto was nice too, was nice.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I liked it. The city life kind of reminded me
about Los Angele. It wasn't too different from La in
my opinion, except I mean I went during like a
sunny week.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Canada. I mean, for them to get like I think
it was like sixty degrees was like a bonus.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
When I was there, it was in the sixties and
that was like the hottest at that time. And that
was like in August.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, so Canada is cool. But it's cool.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
It's really cool. So anyway, I was getting off of them. Sorry,
So we can talk a little bit about your album
that just came out in September. Yeah, cool Daydream correct. Yeah,
so tell us a little bit about that album.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
So Daydream, like I said earlier, I was produced by
my brother. The entirety of the album was written by
us too. We were the team. It kind of happened
in the sense because you know, like I said, I've
been working with a lot of girl groups and you know,
just other producers throughout time, and I was kind of
(18:41):
taking a break, I felt a little bit just overwhelmed
by the music industry, and I was like, Okay, I
need to kind of take a step back and kind
of figure out who I am in this music industry
because it's been dictated a lot by a lot of
other people. That's just how it goes, you know, a
lot of other opinions and stuff like that. And then
(19:01):
one day my brother texted me said, hey, let's make
you an album. I said, I'm in Let's do it.
And it took us about a year to complete the
album and it was just it was such a fun experience.
I feel like my brother knows me better than most people,
and so it flowed so well. And it, you know,
(19:22):
kind of talks about if you pay attention, it kind
of it kind of talks about my life starting as
a child up until now in the sense where you know,
it starts with the song Daydream, and it talks about
when I was a kid, I would you know, sit
around and I would dream about, you know, all all
(19:43):
the things that I wanted to do when I grew up.
When it came to the music industry, I wanted to
like be on these big stages and travel the world
and all of these things, but I was just a
little girl, and so that song was like the perfect starter.
And then it goes into you know, love situations. I've
had situations and shifts and friendships and moves into now
(20:04):
and just being kind of grateful. My last song on
the album is called wake Up and just about just
being grateful every day to just have another chance to
reinvent yourself and just every day I'm just grateful to
be alive, honestly and do it all again.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You know, she's done so much so far. You know,
she has done a lot. I want to get into

They're fabulous.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
There's my god, they're amazing. They learned that entire show

Speaker 2 (30:10):
I could do back up.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Don't you think you know what it is?
Speaker 13 (30:16):
Though, I can't say no. I can't say yes because
you always surprised me.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
You never know.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm not even gonna you know what I mean, I'm
not even gonna say nothing. Yeah, I'm staying out of
that one. I please the.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Fifth Well, I would just you know, I would love
to do something like that. Not that I have the
musical talent, but I would love to tour with somebody,
let's just see what it's like. Yeah, you know, I'm
trying to say, like I would love to live that world,
being like a like an assistant or something and traveling
(30:54):
with a pop star.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
It's a lot. It's a lot of fun. It's a
lot of work, but it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
A lot of fun, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But when you love to do what you do, Yeah,
always fun.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It depends if you don't get put on the bus.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Well it yeah, it depends how much sleep you got
because if you're on no sleep, not as fun exactly.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It depends on if you got the bus and you
had the bunker, call it the bunker, the bunker bunk.
Speaker 13 (31:24):
Yeah, like this, and then I'll feel like this and
it'll be like three different right here, it'll be different,
like like bumpers, like.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
People sleep like that.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
And then you go way back down there where the
star is and he has his own little room, but
you have all the roadies on top of.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
The little beds like this.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
No, no, no, no, no, it doesn't do.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
You should have seen the way we traveled in China.
We were in a van.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Oh wow, big van though, right.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Big enough to fit everybody who was needed.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Oh my god, I mean yeah, you know, it's the traveling.
I guess. Yeah, maybe I'll just stay.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Home, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know, no, no, oh no, no, you'll You're not
making it that appetizing.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
For me, it is fun. It's fun. It's worth it.
It's worth it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You don't even then you're like throwing a wrench into it.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
No, for a pop star, it's fun maybe.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
You know, we got different genres of music and stuff
like that, so sometimes, you know, what's the difference.
Speaker 13 (32:19):
Hip hop is a lot different traveling with more people,
and it's gonna be more hard. Oh congestion, Yeah, we heard.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You know what I'm saying. They're gonna have like the
pop stars for the females and stuff like that. It
was a lot different because you had a bunch of acts,
that's true.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, so you're saying like ten guys and one yeah, basically,
and then you know there's a lot of it might
be fun for me, Oh whoa, but ten guys in
one vehicle. That's crazy.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You know, sometimes they do that, man.
Speaker 13 (32:58):
And a lot of the roads in America are not
good roads to be literally sitting in a bus for
eight hours on but it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Well, if I went on a tour, I would want
to go first class on an airplane.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
There you go as you deserve, thank you, Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I do first class. I'm playing the devil at advocately.
Well you can be okay, fine. So anyway, when you
do tour, though, do you do like from city to city?
Like is it like back and forth back and forth
kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Back to back to back like really, most of the
time the flights are six in the morning to the
next city. If if you're or you got to leave
the airport sorry or your hotel at four in the morning,
so you land, you go straight to soundcheck, you eat,
you do the show. Oh no, you do the meet
and greet, and then you do the show and then
(33:52):
you sleep barely and then by four in the morning
you're off to the airport and land. Repeat. And usually
you land at maybe six am and you go straight
into interviews or radio or whatever you've got to do
all the pr stuff and then straight into soundcheck, meet
and great show. So there's really no route. So I
(34:13):
say I went to China, but did I because I
had no time to even actually see anything outside of
the bus, the plane and the venue.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
Yeah, that's how they do it because again you're you're
you're a product. Look at you that you got to
promote yourself. You gotta be here, you gotta do this,
you gotta do that, you gotta do this. You gotta time,
no free time.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
No, it's like going on a flight and getting picked
up airport just to drop off.
Speaker 13 (34:40):
Now you get picked up, they take you to the
place where the location is. They say, you got to
talk to this person here, here's the PRS. You gotta
go down right here of course, see the pr there. Okay, boom,
you do this and you hit the radio. Then you
go to your show and then they go, okay, now
what you guys got to do is go to rehearsal, Yes, rehearsal, soundcheck,
and then at to wards, you got to wait for
the night.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Night happens.
Speaker 13 (35:02):
Boom, you do your show, you go back to your hotel,
you sleep for two or three hours. They call you
back up and they got to be on the plane.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
And then most nice, there's also the club appearances. So
you're actually from show, you're exhausted, and they're like, we
got to go to the club and now you're at
the club and you're on the table, and you're at
the club, you know, trying to act like you're having
a good time what you are, but you're exhausted because you're.
Speaker 19 (35:27):
Falling on you don't don't lie it in his name, saying, man,
he had the bottle like this is like.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Looking right now, like he totally couldn't do whatever you
want up to you. But I mean it makes it
a lot more difficult to keep going. If you're getting
lit every night, it's not easy to keep.
Speaker 13 (35:46):
What happened is because he didn't like to drink, so
they always used to give him like a bottle, like
somebody to do like a so he literally sit here.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
So one day he's just exhausted. He did the show.
We did the show.
Speaker 19 (35:57):
He's like, and I'm like, yo, bro, they're looking right
now the camera, the guys literally the camera. Dude sitting
there like this and camera on in my hand. He's
not even paying touch because he's like, I half deck
because he just did like you know what I'm saying,
the show's studio.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Now, everything.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Listens goes.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
You got a smile at the camera coming.
Speaker 13 (36:21):
I just can't you know what's so cool though talking
with you is that you're bringing back old memories of
like that that kind of time, you know, because everybody
thinks being an artist is easy. No, when you're a
professional recording artist, it's like a full time job and
most of the time we.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Don't even see the family most of the time because
you got to keep that appearance on twenty four seven.
Speaker 7 (36:47):
And then for female artists as well, we also have
hair and makeup cold times as well, so we all
that takes two hours, and then in a girl group
it's like two hours girl, you know. Because I was
always the youngest, I always had to go first, so
I got the least sleep. So they'd be like, Jazzy,
you're on the three am hair and wickup call time.
(37:11):
You yep every time? Holy cow, I'm back from the
club at two, and then at three I go into
hair and make up for the next dude.
Speaker 13 (37:20):
I don't know how you did that, man, because they
used to try to get us to do like the wardrobes,
and I was just like, nah, man, were going to sleep,
and we would just when they would try to not
we would just shut the lights off.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Everybody is knocked out.
Speaker 7 (37:33):
If you if you even mess up an hour of
their time at the whole days thrown off, and yep,
I can't do that to people.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, really, see this is why I'm not in the
music music industry.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
One.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I can't sing to begin with. So that's that's a
factor right there. You know, But two make up, I
think I would be done in like twenty minutes. I'm
not like, you know, I you know, I just I
don't do that all I get it.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
I would sleep in the makeup, sir, like this, let
them do their thing.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I hear you.
Speaker 12 (38:07):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
So anyway, m hm, okay, so you want to take
a commercial break. Okay, we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Take a commercial break and we'll be back. We're gonna
be right back.

Speaker 20 (41:44):
You know said general charge, So you better get your

he doesn't care because you know, the energy is about
the words of the Shah.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
And we're back, okay, so.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
I know.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
So it's gonna be a little one on one right
now with me and you. But now I want to
get you know what because we were just talking about that,
because you were saying that you were newly married. Yeah,
so it's been how long now.
Speaker 7 (42:30):
We're married a year and a half ago, so.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
You're still in that honeymoon stage. Correct. Oh, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 7 (42:39):
Thinking that's going to last forever. We were together eight
years before we got married. Sorry seven years, so you know, so, yeah,
we've been together a long time.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
It's like it's like those kind of relationships actually do
less because it's like, yeah, you know what, we should
just get married, you know, because it's like you've been
together for so long. But how is it now different
with you more like you know what you're doing in
the industry and stuff. Is he more involved in it
or is it like.
Speaker 7 (43:12):
He he met me? Well, we for sorry not met me.
We first started dating and talking while I was on tour,
So we're kind of in a long distance in a
sense because I was gone a lot, and you know,
we would do facetimes in the few hours that I
had in between, like we were talking about that crazy schedule.
And so now now that we're together, I need him
(43:33):
with me everywhere. Yeah, he's with me everywhere, and I'm
so I'm so grateful to have him. He like keeps
me very calm and centered and grounded and like everything's
gonna be okay, and he's extremely supportive.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
No, that's the best because even like with me and Danny,
you know, he had his career at the beginning, you know,
because he was the rap artist, the DJ and stuff
like that, and I was just doing my own. We
were totally separate. And then it was weird because then
when we got together and he made the show and everything,
(44:08):
and it kind of snowballed into what it is right now.
We weren't expecting it to go, you know, Plateau after Plateau. Yeah,
it brought it. It did bring us closer though, you know,
but sometimes like too close, you know, you know saying this,
it's like because they the thing. The good thing is
(44:29):
is that when we're with each other all the time,
but at the same time, we're not always together. So
when but when I'm not with him, he goes nuts.
Oh he's back, you know, because he when we're not together, right, No.
Speaker 7 (44:51):
I get it. I used to be so independent and
now I'm so codependent.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Called me up and I'm like, what do you want
And he's like, I'm just going to see how you're
doing it is though it's out for you know, but
I always tell her, man, I always look over is
that she's my backbone, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 13 (45:10):
So it's like, you gotta be going places right, and
you know, when you're together with the person, I don't.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Care what anybody says. You'd be like, oh thank god,
I'm away right. Wait for about like what five hours?
Speaker 4 (45:24):
Us ringing it goes?
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Man, I miss.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (45:27):
You're going to go home tonight?
Speaker 7 (45:29):
Man?
Speaker 1 (45:30):
I know, but this is a different type of thing, man.
Speaker 13 (45:32):
Yeah, well you know I have that effect on man.
It's not that man, it's honest to god, you got
the gentlemen. Oh look she's laughing there because she knows.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
I love her.
Speaker 13 (45:46):
I like what we were talking about though, a lot
of a lot of artists, because a lot of people
watches that are independent artists that want to get to
the next level.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
And what I like that you were expressing too is that, hey,
you know, it's cool, but it's a lot of work.
Speaker 13 (46:01):
Like what I love hearing you basically talk about was
the you know, an hour can change your whole day
and the whole mood.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
And people won't even realize that being an artist, there.
Speaker 7 (46:17):
Is time schedule and you're on everybody else's time.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, but you do, but you do always try to
find time for yourselves, you know, and.
Speaker 7 (46:28):
Then it does depend they'll try to schedule that in
after three months that are like this week and three
months you're free.
Speaker 19 (46:41):
Right, Yeah, and everybody gets mad at us. I don't
know if you had that like with like family and
like friends, be like, bro, like.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (46:49):

Like you couldn't hit me up, but you can give
me a text of my bro.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (46:55):
A lot of that, A lot of Uh is this
a one sided friendship? I feel like we're always called
telling you and I'm like, no, I love you. I
just I can't I physically not right now, but I
love you.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
Yeah, you know a lot of times because this show

job that we do five in the morning. Wow, every
morning we get up. He gets up at four thirty.
I get up at five, right, and we get home
about what five six o'clock at night? Depending Yeah, you know,
(47:30):
so we're working like ten twelve hours a day. Then
you get home and it's you know, find something to
eat and then catch up on the show. Because like
when I get home tonight, I'm already working on next
week's show. You know what I'm saying. Because it takes
that week to get in talk with the artists, right,
you get their bio, the pictures, the video and everything.
(47:52):
You know, I'm working on that and people don't realize that.
And I'm like, you think that we have time and
we just don't, you know. And then by Friday night, right,
we get home from work and everybody's going out like
what do you guys doing this, and that we're sleeping?
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Yeah exactly. But I want to get back to something
real quickly.
Speaker 2 (48:15):

comfortable that this album is actually gonna do something.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Like a lot of artists, is right.
Speaker 13 (48:46):
We might pick something up and think something's good, like
an idea, but then we know when we're done with
the album that the album is actually going to do something.
You know, I say, it's just feeling. So what I'm
asking you right now just to make it. Yeah, did
you feel what was the song that made you feel like,
all right, are ready to go?
Speaker 7 (49:05):
The song?
Speaker 2 (49:06):
Yes, that's a hard one.
Speaker 7 (49:12):
That kind of how it worked was I had been
writing on my own because I never stopped making music,
so I'll start there. So even when I was taking
a break, you know, that's that's my therapy. So I
had I had always I had a lot of songs,
personal songs that were really special to me. And when
he wanted to make an album, I set him all
(49:33):
of my ideas that I had already had and he
brought them all to life. And then he had some
ideas that he would send to me, and I would
bring those ideas to life and are the album. Which
it's kind of crazy, but the album was. We didn't
really talk on the phone one time. He lives in
Vegas and I live in LA And the entire album
(49:54):
was done through text. Wow, the entire album for one year.
It was back and forth in text, voice notes, text
voice notes, record like videos, the video recording, my logic session,
my pro tool session, how do you like this? Back
and forth, back and forth. So it was it was
(50:15):
done in such an interesting way and then by the
end of it, we had more songs then we actually
we wanted the album to have twelve songs, that ended
up having sixteen, but we ended up recording twenty plus,
and so we actually had to pick and choose which
one end of it, which ones we wanted on the album,
(50:38):
which ones we were going to say for another or
just right. And so that's why, that's how we really
were able to kind of decide on the album and
fall in love with it because we really took our
time and we had it was very personal as well
as we had a lot of options to choose from
(50:59):
at the end, because we like, all right, let's just
keep doing another one another, one another, one another.
Speaker 13 (51:04):
One, like DJ you know why, because she was thinking
in the mind, She's just like, you know what, I'm here,
I'm feeling in my comfort space.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
Let's get it. Yeah, I got it. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (51:15):
So it wasn't one song. There were so many that
I was so in love with and and it was
hard for me to even part song part ways with
a lot of the songs as well, which I deciding to.
But yeah, that's that's kind of how it came together.
So I can't even tell you what one song I can't.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
My favorite is pop star. Oh thank you, welcome?
Speaker 1 (51:37):

Speaker 7 (52:21):
I love pop stars so much. But what I love
about the album is that different page groups and different
people relate to different songs. And that's how I knew
that it was a good album because it wasn't just
one song that everybody loved. Everybody I speak to, every
fan that dms me, everybody I run into who's heard
the album, they all tell me something different, and I'm like, Wow,
that's so special to me that they all have a
(52:43):
different song that they resonate with and that they're playing
on repeat, and I'm like that That's all I could
ever want for an album to touch so many people
in different ways.
