00:29I feel saved.
00:30Like, I feel just held up.
00:32Like, the energy in the room is so good.
00:33I thought I was going to be nervous, but my girls got me.
00:36I said the same thing.
00:37I said the energy is so light.
00:38Yes.
00:39No men involved?
00:40Oh yeah!

00:46to give you some flowers.
00:47Thank you!

00:50And I want to ask you, who do you give flowers to for getting you where you are now?
00:55Wow, who do I give flowers to for getting me where I am?
00:58It has to be my mother.
01:00Love.
01:01It would be my little sisters for supporting me and critiquing me.

01:12fiance, etc.
01:13Has to, you have to.
01:15And who do you give your flowers to for inspiring your music?
01:17Love.
01:18Ooh, probably one of my friends from high school who even told me that I could make music by
01:27myself.

01:29She's amazing.
01:30Love.
01:31My school, Blake High School, and all of my musical influences.
