You know, I think it's like a mixture between, um, adrenaline and wanting to do really well and make my fans proud.
And then, also, just a bit of nerves.
You know, when you got those cameras on you, it's a little different than when you're doing, like, a live show for a tour.
But I had a good time.
You know, I was really having a lot of fun up there, especially when, you know, I got comfortable.
It took about two songs and I got in there.
My grandmother used to throw a family concert every year.
So, ever since I was like 6 years old, I would be on a stage with my entire family singing songs and playing instruments.
And I don't know.
I mean, music has always been such a big part of my life.
It never really felt like work.
It felt like just a language that I knew how to speak.
And, um, I found out later I could get paid for it, which was pretty tight, yeah.
I mean, I wrote all of my songs, early on, on acoustic guitar, and, um, they felt like it was a really good progression for me to work with an amazing icon like Babyface.
The first song we did never came out or anything, but I'll never forget him letting me know that, you know, he really saw something special in me.
My new mantra is, I want to connect, not perform.
And I think the same should happen in the studio.
You know, you want to -- You want to connect with the artists you're working with in a human way and find, like, a tangible story to kind of work the -- the art around.
That's the thing that's going to connect with audiences all over the world.
I mean, everybody has a different life, but the human experience is very similar.
