WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
Have you been to Korea before and not having?

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:05.400
No, you have to.

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.200
I mean, I would love it if you could experience it with me.

00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:13.200
So I'm with you, we have to set.

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:14.100
We have to do a trip.

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:30.900
I know you guys might briefly last week or two weeks ago to do

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:32.900
this. How was that?

00:00:32.900 --> 00:00:33.800
How was it meeting each other?

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:36.300
I don't know if that's the first time you met each other,

00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:37.300
but I'll let you guys take it away.

00:00:37.300 --> 00:00:39.100
It was the first time.

00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:43.400
Yeah. Yeah. I mean you looked so beautiful horse of all,

00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:53.200
thank you. So, how was New York? I

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:54.100
saw the pictures.

00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:55.100
You look amazing.

00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:57.400
You to kill them at Valley.

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:03.300
New York was fun.

00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:03.900
It was fine.

00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:05.800
I haven't been there for awhile.

00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:12.500
And I always love the energy of New York is always fun.

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:17.700
I love the fact that you can find things that are open late

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.600
night. Cuz I do not now and I like things close.

00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:32.200
It's the best place to I would love to know,

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.800
what keeps you going, you know, because we both started when we

00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:38.500
were pretty young and, you know,

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:41.600
that's what I would love to talk about and I think that's

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:43.400
what can I show me.

00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.200
Like, inspire me and my people and yeah,

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.300
people that we don't need that right now.

00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:53.600
Yeah, I mean, for me, personally, I started when I was

00:01:54.500 --> 00:02:04.400
1320 years ago, and

00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:08.900
I had my daughter when I was 20.

00:02:08.900 --> 00:02:14.200
So when I had her, that was a little moment of like,

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:16.500
okay, I need to really take this seriously,

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:17.400
or I need to like,

00:02:18.300 --> 00:02:21.800
Find another career path that guarantees like a paycheck.

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.000
Steady paycheck. So I can see me and her.

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.400
So she's been one of the things that keeps me going.

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:32.700
Also, she's super artistic on.

00:02:32.700 --> 00:02:43.000
Yes. Yes. Yes.

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.600
I love. I love that.

00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:46.800
So much right now.

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.600
She's going to phase where she doesn't think that she even wants to

00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:51.600
do anything with music or singing.

00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:56.600
Probably just because she's been around it so much but she's

00:02:56.600 --> 00:03:02.300
so naturally. Good at all things creative at,

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:05.400
we'll see. But, you know, she's been inspiring me just because

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:10.600
I always wind instrument and she literally knows how to play

00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:16.300
the piano and the electric guitar without having lessons.

00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:18.600
You know, who this is?

00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:22.200
It's inspiring for me and then I don't know.

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:27.100
I feel like I always stays where I want to create.

00:03:27.100 --> 00:03:29.600
I'm always in a very

00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:30.500
Creative.

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:32.900
You're a Pisces.

00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:44.100
And yes, I did get a SeaWorld.

00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:47.500
I always want to bring that to real life,

00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:51.000
you know how it went to share that with people and there's

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:57.900
really no way to explain it more and I need to,

00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:03.000
you know, add more details, like, throughout the years on my 08,

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.700
but I need you to see this layer of the world,

00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:17.700
and, you know, there's always another layer with us at like

00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:20.400
creating and expressing myself.

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:26.700
It's like if I don't do it is like my blood is not circulating

00:04:26.700 --> 00:04:29.700
exactly know it's for me.

00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:35.600
You're like it's a difference this time from a K-pop this which

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.000
you know that you go through the system are you're like almost

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.600
like an athlete like you are trains like to Dad.

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.100
Like it's all scheduled, all those things then I started

00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:49.400
when I was 13 to but was still in that program,

00:04:49.400 --> 00:04:55.300
you know, recently decided to get out of it like,

00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:56.100
3 years ago.

00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:58.100
And also, I didn't really get to,

00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:01.500
you know, how like lived my life where,

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:06.100
I'm my biggest dream, is to become a mother,

00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:08.500
which I would love to learn more from you.

00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:12.700
And I will hope one day, I really would love to be blessed

00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:13.900
to be able to do that.

00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:17.300
And, you know, just I couldn't, I didn't really have a life

00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:20.700
is like a machine for so long for like 13 years.

00:05:20.700 --> 00:05:24.200
So, I decided to take some time off,

00:05:24.200 --> 00:05:27.200
and you everything just stopped and I was traveling and all that.

00:05:27.200 --> 00:05:28.500
But when I was not

00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:32.300
I was creating, but when it didn't.

00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:36.200
I feel like I'm like pregnant and I'm not giving,

00:05:36.200 --> 00:05:48.400
you know, I want to continue this and that I realized it when

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:53.700
I took some time off to really get to know me and what was

00:05:53.700 --> 00:05:57.200
like, I thought I love actually enjoy and love doing this.

00:05:57.200 --> 00:06:02.900
And yeah, but and also like from coming from K-pop system

00:06:02.900 --> 00:06:05.000
and being able to work out here,

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.600
that's another passion for me, was I really want a lot more

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.300
Asian pop stars like you were here and you definitely

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:18.300
paved. A lot of ways and did amazing things,

00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:20.400
and I want more of us, you know,

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:22.000
then I thought that was

00:06:22.700 --> 00:06:25.500
Like cuz I'm not very empty.

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:30.400
A girl and just buying like CDs.

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:35.000
I never had an Asian pop star that I was like,

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.500
okay, like she looks like me or you don't like,

00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:39.600
okay, maybe I should wear my wake up like that.

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:59.100
So do for like a twelve-year-old me but continued.

00:06:59.100 --> 00:07:00.800
Yes for sure.

00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.000
I think a big part of it too is you know,

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.400
Taking those brakes or taking those cuz it's never a break,

00:07:09.400 --> 00:07:12.900
you know, life is always going going going.

00:07:12.900 --> 00:07:15.900
And it's just important from me.

00:07:15.900 --> 00:07:18.400
I think to always take the time,

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:22.300
take some time to myself or myself to live and experience

00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:23.800
life and you

00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:30.700
You know, just do whatever I want to do and then life is always

00:07:30.700 --> 00:07:32.200
inspiring. You know, it's always

00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:35.700
It's just how you look at it,

00:07:35.700 --> 00:07:39.300
you know, there's always things that I am being inspired

00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:43.400
by our new new song lyrics for new stories that I feel like

00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:44.200
I want to tell.

00:07:44.200 --> 00:07:49.500
And like you said when you're not creating sometimes it can just

00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:52.400
feel like what am I supposed to be doing right now?

00:07:54.900 --> 00:07:57.200
But he said you pregnant, when you can't give birth,

00:07:57.200 --> 00:07:59.500
you know that takes nine months.

00:07:59.500 --> 00:08:10.200
You know, I always was just, I'm just pumping out all of this

00:08:10.200 --> 00:08:14.500
material because for me, this is a real process.

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:16.400
I heal through my work.

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:20.100
It's therapeutic for me.

00:08:20.100 --> 00:08:20.800
It's

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:28.400
I express myself because I have to let it out or it'll I'll

00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:30.100
go crazy. Yeah.

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:32.000
Yeah, it's a real.

00:08:34.300 --> 00:08:42.200
It's deeper than just trying to stay relevant or popular

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:48.700
or whatever. So you are both very creative people and I think

00:08:48.700 --> 00:08:50.300
the messages that you put out in,

00:08:50.300 --> 00:08:53.900
your music are really kind of personal and our way that you're

00:08:53.900 --> 00:08:56.500
able to connect with your fans, even though you're not the ones

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:59.700
that are like always on social media sharing every moment

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:00.100
of your life.

00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:03.500
So, I'd love to hear more about your creative process in,

00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:06.400
like how you approach new music or do projects and like,

00:09:06.400 --> 00:09:09.400
what kind of like, what's the first thing you do to get started?

00:09:09.400 --> 00:09:10.800
And how, how do you go from there?

00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:16.300
I mean that you know that the hardest question,

00:09:16.300 --> 00:09:18.600
I was like what is your inspiration or like,

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:23.600
you know, so I think everything just random things we talk about

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:29.300
those are inspiration for me and everything is like just this

00:09:29.300 --> 00:09:37.400
lighting or how something smells or you know that you do.

00:09:37.400 --> 00:09:41.400
Then we just got to talk about life and what are chased I guess.

00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:46.300
I mean.

00:09:47.800 --> 00:09:49.900
For me, like really personal question.

00:09:49.900 --> 00:09:54.000
Like how did you get into a sound healing?

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.100
Cuz I love sound bath.

00:09:56.100 --> 00:09:56.400
And

00:09:57.900 --> 00:09:59.500
You know, it's, but I don't know.

00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:02.600
I don't think, I don't know enough about it.

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.300
But like what, how do you dislike?

00:10:06.300 --> 00:10:10.300
Make it different from pop music with you?

00:10:10.300 --> 00:10:13.400
Like, what's that like shift for me?

00:10:13.400 --> 00:10:18.400
Like ciel's the spicy and didn't she just let you know what

00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:23.900
she just started telling her story cuz I got you getting

00:10:23.900 --> 00:10:24.500
out of the system.

00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:29.200
So, you know how like, I would love your advice on like balancing

00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:33.000
that to a lot of people expect this side of you.

00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:38.900
And you know, but you like you got to stick to your like original.

00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:47.200
Hello, again, I think that I remember my mom telling me when I

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:48.600
was younger, when I first started.

00:10:49.900 --> 00:10:54.100
She's just like, you can do whatever type of music that you want

00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:59.500
to do, but you never have to be married to just one genre,

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:03.700
or you feel obligated to just say that,

00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:10.800
you're just an R&B artist or hip-hop or Jazz gospel,

00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:11.800
whatever you want to do.

00:11:11.800 --> 00:11:18.100
And I all I kept that in mind and I cuz I've always listened

00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:21.100
to a lot of different types of music when I started writing,

00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:26.800
when I was really young, when I was angry.

00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:29.800
I would have to write a poem about it and then

00:11:31.300 --> 00:11:35.900
Or I would have to write it down like exactly how I was feeling

00:11:35.900 --> 00:11:42.200
and that helps me get through it and then as I got older and

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.000
I started singing and I started writing my own song.

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:49.900
Are we usually do that while I was thinking to myself.

00:11:49.900 --> 00:11:57.600
Also, when I felt bad for angry or just like a strong and sometimes

00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.100
I would change the lyrics to songs that are on the radio.

00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:11.500
So it's better, you know for me.

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:13.000
It's always been like creating.

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.000
My way through like how I'm feeling like turning my feelings

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:26.000
into some form of I heart, you know about me,

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.400
you know, it's about sharing it with everyone and it's about,

00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:31.300
it's a purpose.

00:12:31.300 --> 00:12:31.900
It's a mission.

00:12:31.900 --> 00:12:32.800
Even right now.

00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:40.500
I feel like Mission has really shown me my purpose and

00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:45.600
I have to be more intentional with what I'm sharing.

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.000
What I'm what?

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:47.900
I'm offering people.

00:12:47.900 --> 00:12:51.800
I have reached a point recently or like last year.

00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:55.400
I started to Super burnt out and just kind of like,

00:12:55.400 --> 00:13:01.100
just a shell and I was doing what I could.

00:13:01.100 --> 00:13:02.900
But then when I reached.

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:13.400
Stop doing everything and just going to hide in a few days.

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.700
I just was not being replenished, you know,

00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:20.600
and I was just doing too much.

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:27.900
Yeah, so now it's like you don't always get your have take that

00:13:27.900 --> 00:13:30.700
time. You don't always get to have to take a month off and just

00:13:30.700 --> 00:13:33.400
be like I'm just going to do nothing.

00:13:33.400 --> 00:13:37.900
But I think the goal is that daily.

00:13:37.900 --> 00:13:41.900
You can balance it and set aside that time for yourself

00:13:41.900 --> 00:13:45.900
or say I'm going to turn my phone off at night or I'm going

00:13:45.900 --> 00:13:49.000
to instead of waking up and checking my phone.

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:52.200
I'm going to wake up, do some breathing exercises,

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.500
go outside and stretch and then I'll get something to eat.

00:13:56.500 --> 00:14:02.800
Then I'll give you a definitely so important to take that time

00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:05.100
to make sure that you're good, you know,

00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:09.400
so that you can be good for whoever else you have to deal with

00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:12.200
that day cuz you know, yeah.

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.300
Yeah, I know, really?

00:14:15.300 --> 00:14:18.700
Cuz I think more than ever, lot of people are experiencing

00:14:18.700 --> 00:14:22.200
like, okay, so you go, go, go and overworked and over,

00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.100
which I have done that before, you know,

00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:27.500
for years. And when I stop I didn't know what to do.

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:32.600
I think that was another thing like just to have their routine

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.000
and making sure like, you said you take,

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:40.400
I don't know if it's 10 minutes of your life every day to just

00:14:40.400 --> 00:14:42.000
for yourself or like whatever.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:46.700
Feels your Comforts your fine.

00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:50.900
Keep like you can find P like you need that.

00:14:50.900 --> 00:14:55.300
So when everything is gone mad, what do you like it?

00:14:55.300 --> 00:14:56.300
I didn't know what to do.

00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.000
Maybe I have to do this to us to do this.

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:12.000
Like the harmony was like just so Amber to keep that weighs

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.000
like going and make sure it's yeah,

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.800
we have to go through those moments.

00:15:19.800 --> 00:15:22.900
What's going on to figure out what's going on?

00:15:22.900 --> 00:15:23.600
You know that?

00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:35.000
Even say oh, okay.

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:40.100
I need to get back in Harmony and find the balance cuz some

00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:40.700
people just

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:45.100
Going and going and going, or do you know,

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:49.600
they'll just be off balance for so long if that becomes their

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:56.200
normal? Yes. Yes, and I personally cannot function when I

00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.800
Not balanced little it gets like very chaotic.

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:06.900
And you know, I think I deserve the peace and the people around

00:16:06.900 --> 00:16:14.300
me deserve for me to be balanced person cuz he can get it.

00:16:14.300 --> 00:16:25.700

00:16:25.700 --> 00:16:28.100
