I believe you can take old genres of

music and take old styles of music and

just kinda trick people into what they're used

to hearing. If it weren't for my Dad, I wouldn't

even know what the genre of R&B is

and if it weren't for my mom I wouldn't

know what Folky Americana Classical Music... and I

brought Jazz music onto myself.

I don't know

how many piano teachers have slapped my hand

for not reading the music. I always hated

reading the music cause I always thought it

was so much more fun to listen to

various recordings of, you know;

I can, I can just hear the record and

play it back from memory, I guess subconsciously I

would change a couple of notes and the teachers

would be like, you know;

This girl's really pretty

I'm going to like that picture. I decide

the night before what kind of song I want to hear

and I set it as my alarm so I'm

like pleasantly surprised and then I light this thing

which is Sandalwood and do this movement, clear

the bad energy, I throw on my Gucci

flip flops, kind of start the day just

based off of that. Let's go, to the

studio, first step, turn on the MIDI keyboard,

cool lamps, cool vibes, candles are usually lit

but I'm not feeling it today, I don't

want to light any candles today.

This is literally where everything is made, I had started

Attention, I was on a train to Tokyo,

it just came to me that I wanted

to like write an orchestral piece like with

pizzicato strings, like;

and I heard all of these

chord changes and like this lush orchestra playing

so I started, I took out contact or

something and just started layering strings, so I

got back to the hotel and I replaced

the *string sounds*, with a guitar and I

took my phone out and recorded an E flat, B Flat,

E Flat, B Flat, F Sharp, F, E Flat, B Flat, D Flat,

A Flat, D Flat, E Flat, F. Every song I produce

I add my beat box. *beatboxes*

All my music it's Really exciting right now

in my life because it's all starting to,

kind of like come together, it's all starting

to sound like a vibe where I'm super

proud of, of the um, the old stuff

but it was really me figuring out like

where I wanted to go musically.

World exclusive.

*music plays*

That was stupid.

Jazz chords.

I have to picture

the music video in my head while I'm

making it so when I'm making this

song and I'm hearing the post chords,

I'm picturing people like at a salsa bar

like dancing like you know, guy twirling a

girl around or whatever, I can't dance for s***,

but you know what I mean. I think

I order a shake every morning, I actually

workout you mentioned Adele before, I saw her working

out at the gym one time which was

pretty cool, I like working out, working out

with Adele. I need a haircut so badly,

this is unacceptable.

One way I can use this

app on my phone which is why I'm

calling my album VoiceNotes, is cause

every song was made with the Voice Notes app.

I'll do that and just have fun

with it.

*music plays*

I don't know how well you can hear

that but it's just like feels like I'm

playing with a band, and I'm the band

so I can control, um I can control

everything which is super fun for me, I get

excited just thinking about it. It's very crazy

and I have 8 million subscribers, I forget that I'm

like one of the bigger YouTubers. Youtube is the reason

why I have confidence to perform on stage

because before YouTube I didn't, I had no, you

know basis to perform in front of people,

I didn't want to because I was too afraid,

and YouTube gave me you know, having

growing a fan base on YouTube gave me

the confidence to, go on stage.

I'm really bad at writing out music notes so

I actually just write the letters out and

I have perfect pitch so I know that,

this is an F sharp.

Yeah like, you can't

deny that this sounds like so good

because it does and it's all from these

notes here.

*music plays*

Ohh, it's so like, just the

*sings melody*

I want everybody to

in places that I can't like go to

overnight, music can reach them immediately, it's universal

in a way that's not just specific to

one region. Australia has been waiting for me

to go to Australia for a long time

but every time I get ready to go

something happens where it has to get

like postponed a month, and then it gets

postponed another month like when I go to

Australia it's going to be a party, I'm going

to like, oh I'm going to have so

much fun, when I go to Australia.

I love like working with hip-hop producers

like Mike Will, just cause there's no like, there's no formula

it's all just based on feeling and when you

work with guys who are making music based

on what they're feeling it's usually, it's just

like, the music feels better it doesn't feel

so contrived.

Where do I see myself in

10 years? Hopefully just as happy and motivated

as I am right now and not jaded by

any success. I want to make a boy

band, I want to like produce a record

for like a boy band, like I want to

put them together and like, just see them

just dominate the world. That would be super cool.
