Speaker 1

Welcome to Behind the Influence, a production of I Heart Radio and t DC Media. I want to find my voice and I want to find who I am in the music industry. It's true. I mean, you could do whatever you want. We always get caught up in like the likes and the numbers and how many followers you have and who's liking it and what they're commenting. But once you're happy with yourself, you can put something out and none of that matters at all. I hope you love it, and I hope it resonates with you, and

I hope you see yourself in it. Baby Ariel is in the house. What's up? He of course love having you. I actually interviewed Baby Ariel on my past show, and I feel like a while ago. I remember that interview and it was like an hour long, but it flew by. It was so fun and your mom was there, Yes, she was, which was super fun, and we kept giving shout outs to your grandma. Wasn't that I found like that. It's been a couple of months, but so much has happened.

It's been crazy. I didn't even know what I'm doing. You know, you definitely know what you're doing. How do I say this double negative, But I don't know what You don't not know what you're doing. If you have thirty million fans on TikTok, thirty million people follow you on one app, I don't even do you know what thirty million people is. I was trying to look up.

I was trying to look up countries, so I could, you know, make a comparison to like, in the country, in the country, that's how many people, that's how So I looked up. Well, the weirdest thing came up. So I googled country with thirty million population. The first article that came up was there are thirty million people in China that live underground in caves. So I am very un of the underground people in jo. Just in case you're wondering, yeah, there are, which I have been for

a while now. There are as many people in underground caves in China that follow you. That's musically, that's power, that's insane. I'm like, hi, Tchina, let's talk about TikTok, which was formerly musically. Yes, I keep wanting to call it musical. If you slip up, it's okay because I slip up const But we all know it's TikTok. We know it's TikTok, but I still slip up. Who else is out there trying to do the aerial thing? Who else trying? Is the emphasis? Well, my best friend she

is doing, she's doing. Her name's Ari. We met in sixth grade in pemberke Pines, Florida. We went to the same school. We knew each other for like we went in sixth grade, like best friend sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth grade, and both separately started on musically, like she would just make musicals in her house and make peusic lose in my house, not knowing that the other was also doing it. And we gained a following at around the same time, and we've been doing it together ever since.

So both of you just randomly decide to pick up this app and give it, give it a word without talking to each other about it. And now she's literally at my house in l a and we're going to go film YouTube videos together. It's not weird. That's some BFF ship. I know it's weird, but like I kind of love it though, because I've met like a few people in this end street who I like, I love and I adore but like, it's nice to have someone who we really started all of this together, and we

knew each other before before anything exactly. There's something really nice and comforting about having somebody who's from your hometown and knows you before, who knows me for me and your awkward stages when you're like twelve and thirteen or whatever. Right, And it's interesting that you guys both were successful, and that's the cool thing too. It's like we know each other before all of it because we're both doing the

same thing. She's more into fashion and I'm more into music and acting, but we're both kind of on the same journey together. We're able to help each other through this as well, but we also just know each other, so we just it works. It's amazing. And so to your point of her being into fashion and different things than you and you're into music and acting. Obviously this has given you a platform, having so many eyeballs on you, you are somebody who has influence, and the premise of

the show is kind of getting behind the influence. Let's take it back before any of the has happened. Growing up, what were you like as a kid, Because obviously to pick up something like musically and wanting to lip sing and do these dances. You had to have been somebody who liked to perform, right right, Oh for sure? So did you know from an early age that this was kind of your destiny to be in this world? Yeah?

I think it was like growing up. You know, my dad's a musician and he like stuck me in piano when I was like four years old. And my mom she did a theater her entire life and like debate, and my dad went to school for for a film and TV. So growing up, my world was surrounded with like music and acting, and like I was not forced, but like I had to watch movies and understand them

and like dive deeper into them. So I was like in this world of all these arts, and I knew that I wanted to be involved, like when I was older in some way, and I had dreams for sure, like I want to direct, and I want to like you know, sellat arenas and sing and like do albums. I know you're already doing those things. I'm trying, but like I never knew it was possible, but after social media like this has really made it possible, which is cool. But yeah, as a child I always wanted to perform

because that was my whole world. That's all I knew. So we're gonna fast forward a bit. One day you're in high school. You actually at that time you were living with grandma, because I think your house is flood pipe under the sink it burst. And so the summer going into my ninth grade, yere and my brother was

going into like a sixth grade year. I think we're living at my grandma's house, and I would go to camp every single summer, but that summer was so hectic because my house was flooded to the head, like knocked down walls and tear out the floor and like redo everything. I was home a lot with my grandma and my brother, and I would spend hours like just you know, like taking pictures and writing songs and like journaling like on our phones. And we found musically, how did you even

think to download the app? We were so like I'm just trying to like we like we just we had so much time, you know, like we do other things, but we just had so much time. So diving like super deep into the app store of like just as many like different creative apps as we could find and musically, I think was one of them, and we downloaded it and we're like, Okay, this is cool, you know, like

musically along with like twenty other apps. I think the ability to just create whatever you wanted really drew us to it because we had so much time. So it was nobody talking about it really at the time. Or was it like you'd heard of it exactly. Yeah, it was something like that, but nothing crazy for sure. I do think the early people have an advantage. You're going to figure it out quicker, You're going to gain a following quicker, and I'm always like, what's going to be

the next app? Right? So you just happened to stumble upon this and it had elements of things that you're passionate about performing music. Do you remember the first one that you tried? The first musically it was too I'm Legit by Nicki Minaj, and it was it was in her guest room that I know. I wasn't sleeping in that room. I was sleeping like the playroom, and I

like got the music. I was like my favorite song at the time, and I just just kind of like started creating these like facial expressions and like hand emotions and lip syncing things to the song and I made it and I was like, oh cool, and posted it

and that was it. Yeah, and that was it. A lot of things happened, But what do you think it was about musically now, TikTok At the time that so many people were drawn to it, especially your age demographic, there was something drawing in I guess like at the time, you know, Instagram has its way of doing things, not really a set in stone like definition, but I feel like, you know it could Instagram you post your pictures and Twitter you tweet what's on your mind vine with six seconds,

but musically like being this new app, nobody really knew how to do it or what it was, and so all of us kind of went on with this like, oh, this is something new that we haven't seen before. It has these little fast motion slow motion effects that none of us have been able to play with before on Instagram or Twitter because we already have what we do on those platforms. So it was like this blank canvas

almost and we could just create whatever we wanted. Because I tried musically once when it was musically and now TikTok, I just always have to clarify it's TikTok now. But when I tried it, it was musically and it gives you this element of almost being more coordinated than you actually are, and like you're a better dancer. It almost fulfills a fantasy of being a pop star in a sense. I think that to me. That's what if I was, you know, in high school, and I saw this app,

I'd be like this is dope. For two seconds, I can be in this fantasy land of being like doing something different. It's true. I mean you could do whatever you want on the app. Like the amount of effects and songs and styles of videos that there are, like there's something for everybody, which is really appealing to me because like if I wake up one day and I want to paint or something, you can post a painting video and there's an audience for that and there's people

who want to talk about it with you. And if you want to go on there and be a pop star in lip sync and just totally dance your heart out and like put on cool clothes, like you can definitely do that too. That's amazing. So so you start uploading all these videos and clips if you dancing, lipsing

and doing all these things. When did you start to really notice that you were not only having friends and family commenting and participating with what you were uploading, but random strangers starting to follow you and gain a legit following on the app. Yeah, I think it was like two or three months in. And how old were you at that time? I was fourteen. I mean it was

that crazy for you. It was insane because I before that have been on like I've been on social media, but like I remember, like a month before I started Musically, I was begging my parents to let me go on Facebook, you know, and like now all of a sudden face it. So I was never such a social media person, you know. So it was insane at fourteen. But it was like three months in and I remember I was at my

friend Barbara's house. She was like my best friend at the time, and my video was featured on the homepage of Musically. And now they have a different way of doing it, they like the four you page of TikTok, but at the time you get featured, and like everybody who has the apsis or video that day, people like just started liking and commenting and following me, and I was like, what the heck? Is going on is the

craziest thing. After that, I started posting that. I was posting them every day, but I would like, you know, stick to it and like three a day. So, as a fourteen year old, you're seeing that people are recognizing the stuff that you're putting out there. Do you then kind of shift your strategy? Because before you were just putting content out when you felt like get your board, you're to sleep over whatever. Now you're noticing you're getting

a fan base? Did you then? I mean you were so young to have to process this, but then thinking like I could make a business out of this. Yeah, So I started gaining following two or three months in and then I was doing it every single day, and I think about like four five months in is when you know, my family sat down and we're like, Okay, this is amazing, but this is not just like a

hobby anymore. Like you're you're gaining a following and brands are starting to reach out to you to want to send clothing, and like some tours were starting to approach me. So we had to sit down as a family and say, okay, where what do we want to do? And like how is this going to work? And I definitely knowing like my whole life that I wanted to entertain and like be involved in the entertainment industry as much as I possibly can. I knew that this is what I wanted

to do. I'd regret it if I didn't try and go for it. Yes, we kind of switched it up and we opened a website and opened a YouTube channel, like, opened an Instagram page and made it more of like a whole not but like a pack yeah exactly, and just opened everything up and slowly like started accepting brand deals and talking out brand deals and tours and how that would work. And I would collab with other YouTubers, so easing into it, but definitely thinking of it more.

It's like, okay, this could be something that I do for a long time. So it became more strategic in a good way too. Then possibly help you get to your goals down the road. Exactly. And nothing like I did changed because they were like like they liked the way I was doing my musically, so okay, like this is me, this is who I am, so I don't have to change anything. But my dad me had to

take care of some business things. Of course, I probably more serious about how often you posted right exactly, Um, yeah, every exactly, so you had to actually have a schedule and treated a little more like a job, not like you were still in school. But it was yeah, right, you were still in school, Yes, yeah, yes, I started ninth grade. And so then at what points now you're you're getting a strategy together. You know that there's an

end goal. You see this opportunity in this platform that literally started off as I'm board and I'm having fun with it, and for a lot of kids, that's where it ends. So why do you think And you can sound arrogant right now, it's okay, this is an awkward question to ask, but what what do you think made you stand out versus other people? You stood out, so it's okay for you to answer that. Okay, I'm anna answer.

At the time, on musically, there was nobody I think what the way I did it was just different and not seen before because at the time people were on musically, but they were just like lip syncing it for fun. And I don't think I've really cared about what people

thought of me. I was so myself and I had like my friends and we all just were a certain way and I just wasn't gonna care, and I went on there with my like super annoying bright pink lipstick and like long nails, and I hope like it inspired other people that just kind of or other kids to be like, you know what, like, she's fourteen years old and she just doesn't care. I'm not going to carry either, and I'm just gonna be myself and whatever that Maybe, yeah,

I could see that. So maybe you were kind of the poster child for other kids who were probably also bored at their grandma's house seeing this beautiful, enthusiastic, confident woman. Now you know, like you were young, and so you're doing this thing where you're showing that you don't cary of a lot of self love, obviously because you're putting

content out there without it being perfect. I thought what you were going to say was that you put more time and effort into it, but really it was just you were authentic to yourself, and pop probably resonated with that. I hope, so like I was and I still am, I try to be as authentic as possible because social media is such like an intimate thing like it used to be where you would watch your favorite people on reality TV, you know, once a week and you can't

really comment on anything. But now with social media, I can go live and like it's like I'm face timing them right from my bedroom. So because I have that platform and that influence and ability like talk to them and like people like NonStop, I want to be as authentic and organic as possible. Yeah, and it definitely shows in all your content. You're always yourself, which I appreciate that it's not cringe e, thank you. Interesting you you can tell there's a point where people kind of shift

into the big leagues. I guess where they're just going and doing their own thing. They're creating content, and all of a sudden, the brand deals come and you know, they get shift and then a lot of things shift, and then you see a complete shift in the person's personality.

So I think it says a lot. The only thing that's changed for you is your schedule is more busy, making more money, and you can like you now have a platform to then pursue other passions and exactly so so basically you're you were doing musically now TikTok, and then other opportunities showed up for you through TV, film,

What what came first. The first thing that came was a Digi tour, okay, and so I started going into my ninth grade year, and about two months into my ninth grade year, I this is kind of like when we had the family talk about everything, because this tour approached me to go on a social media tour with like six other influencers great friends of mine still to this day. But it would be like a six week

tour across country in a tour bus touring. So at that time we had to sit down and be like, Okay, is this something that we're going to do for real? Because if I went on, if I said yes to that tour, I had to be homeschooled or online schooled, and then if I didn't, I would continue with public school and you know, just do that. So that was the like thing that that was a turning point. Yeah, I was like, I have I O regretted if I didn't go. I have to go and I have to

do it. And yeah, from there that was the first thing that I did a tour. Just after that everything

opened up for you, it seems. Yeah, I mean it was like like and the cool thing about that tour too is that I really that's what I think put me into like this the whole social media space too, because I was with other influencers, were able to collaborate together and create a little family and create our own social media group of people because you have like the YouTubers and the viners, and but now there's like, okay, this new musically you now group, We're able to make

that for ourselves. That's so true. There was like the vine group and the YouTubers and this is back in the day. But now it feels like everyone's kind of crossing over into all platforms, which I love so much. I love that too. So basically, here we are today, and a lot's happened between that first musically that you uploaded. You are still active on TikTok, and you have so many other things going on. How high on the priority

list is uploading on there? Because you still have a lot of followers, you've transitioned into mainstream, and you'll see people transition into mainstream and kind of say, I don't want to do that thing anymore. That and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but I think it's really cool that you're still on the app because you have so many fans on there waiting for your content. How right, that's the thing. It's like,

why not, yeah, because it's easy for you. Right. It's not like I don't think it's easy, but I can't do We're going to try to do actually, but it's like we're gonna be doing it, but it is easy like it is. It's it's like I can do it, and I wanted to do it, and I want to talk to the people who like follow me, and yeah, to me, it's like why not, you know, And it's another way for you to connect with your fans exactly. And I mean, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't

be where I am right now. So like they are the reason that I'm here, and so as much as I'm able to connect with them and talk to them and make them happy throughout the day as much as I possibly can, I'll do it. And if I'm able to do TikTok's, then I'm going to do Yeah. Why not? Right? So going back to transitioning into mainstream UM music is

something that I know you take really seriously. Obviously, the musically and TikTok thing lends itself to the music industry in the world that's obviously very, very different than the I don't want to say the real music industry, but that's an app where you're having fun and now there's this big, bad world of music industry, which is very stressful. Yes, how has the transition been for you? It's been good, I will say it's been good. It's been a slow

transition for me. Like maybe I don't know how it comes. I don't know how I come off to the public. I don't people think, but like for me, it's been slow because I want to find my voice and I want to find who I am in the music industry. And I think it's important, like throughout your entire career to keep changing and evolving. But in the beginning it's the toughest because you want to, you know, put out what's authentic to you and stay true to yourself. So

it's been tough. Like I'm just constantly writing and singing and trying different instruments and just finding my own voice and finding who I am. And I've put out like a few songs now, and I've put out things that at the time where me and maybe it's not me anymore.

But I think it's okay because, like everybody goes on their own journey, every important to oh yeah, it's important to show your journey and show how you've evolved, because if you just come out the first song and it's perfect and like like, then then it's just you have

to have a journey and you have to go through it. Literally, every successful artist, if you look at their first album or listen to the first album and then you listen to what they're doing today, it's totally different because you are constantly not only are you evolving, but the trends

are evolving and what do I care about? Which is And that's hard to because I've had to learn how to just like shut that out completely, because you know, two weeks ago, the big song was like a rap song, and now it's like the big song is an E d M. Like it's like, you just have to stick to who you are. The other thing that that's interesting Whenever I talk to newer artists who are kind of building their brand and figuring out their voice, I always

ask them what the process of that is? Is it you're sitting down with a brand board and you're like, this is how I see myself or is it more of this is what I'd like to be For me, I have to I'm a person who has to set goals and write my dreams down and make a long term goal list or else I'm not going to feel like I can get there for some reason, like I I love everything that I do, but I love to keep like dreams and goals in mind because that's just

pushing me forward every single day. But then also it's about forgetting that sometimes and living in the moment and just saying, Okay, who am I today or who am I this year? And who do I want to be and just rolling with it and seeing what happens. And I think naturally the dreams and goals will come, but you have to put them out there into the universe. Well. Also, what successfully worked for you on musically was just being yourself exactly, and that's why it's like, I'm not going

to change of course. Yeah, But but that said, I'm sure you have some musical influences like who who is somebody that you if you could rub a Genie lamp and say I would like a career much like fill in the blank career. Of course, you'll have your own. I look at certain people. For me as an interviewer and as a host, I look at someone like Oprah and I'm like, wow, she's can please say that again?

You can? Definitely for me, I look at her and I say, you know, she makes an impact and she talks to people who make an impact and it's not just like fluffy conversation, and I love that. I think she's a game changer. Who for you is somebody that you look at and you kind of look up to. In a sense, there's so many people, is the problem. There are a lot of talented days, and especially in the female department, there's so many powerful women. Gosh, I

would probably say Prince. I think because just the way he makes me feel when I'm listening to his music and when I watch him, and how authentically himself he is and how hard I know he worked to get to where he is and how great he wanted to be is inspiring. And so seeing someone who just does not care and like, where's what they want to wear and like makes music that he wants to make and will do anything to stay true to who he is

inspiring for me. That's so evolved of you. I feel like a lot of Maybe I'm generalizing, but I feel like if you asked that question to somebody your age, you might be like Rihanna because she makes it rain, which is fine. Does make it rain, and that's fine. But it just shows again the authenticity of you. I love that. I love that for you, I love that for everybody. So, on the topic of music, you had a couple of singles come out when you were on

my show. I think Gucci on My Body, which, by the way, when I was editing that video, I could not get that song out of my head. I was like, she did this on purpose, It's my fault. I can't stop singing it. So now you have a new single that you're going to be releasing October ten, ten ten Lucky Numbers, Perfect ten. It's called wild Side. Yes, I'm so excited. I'm so excited and I haven't even heard it. This song is like super special to me just because

I don't know. For me, it's the most me song that I've released, and it's just it's about like everything that I've been talking about for It's about like becoming comfortable enough with who you are to share that with the world. I think, like on social media, like we always get caught up in like the likes and the numbers and how many followers you have and who's liking it and what they're commenting and everything. But once you're happy with yourself, you can put something out and none

of that matters at all. So for me, that song is about that journey and the journey of self love and self discovery and finding you and being happy enough with that to just not even care about what anybody else has to say. That's super exciting, And and this interview is actually prerecorded, so we will be including the song. Don't worry, we won't have to be like wait until ten times. By the time we're listening to this past

it's done. So we will be including the song at the end of this interview, so please make sure you stick around for that. On the topic of wild Side, it's obviously very special to you. Something also very special is that one of your bucket list items that you listened at the beginning was directing, and you directed the music video for this. I'm gonna cry just thinking about

how was that for you? That was a dream come true in twelve hours, Like that was everything that I've ever wanted and more and that's enough for me, Like I'm good, Like that was it. Movies are my favorite thing ever on this whole planet, and so my dream is to direct movies. And I knew going into this music video. I was like, Okay, I want to direct it because this song means so much to me, and I'm going to make it my own mini movie and

I don't care what anybody else to say. And so just being able to get into the nitty gritties of everything and be so picky and create like characters and set design and choose the way the like way I wanted my eyelashes to look, and my hair and like the bangs on my head to look, and the way it was shot and the style like made me so happy because that's just it's it's my dream. And it's interesting because it's all the things that you've done. Up

until now, we didn't even talk about your acting. I mean, you've been in film, you've been in TV. So do you think that those experiences helped you? Oh for sure with this directing debut. Directorial debut, Oh my god, that sounds so like, Oh my god, areal debut. Oh my god,

I'm so excited. Oh my God, Okay, but yes, I mean I'm very much one who believes that, like, you know, everything that I already did, like it got me to this point obviously, So when I'm in the moment, like I try to just soak in as much as possible. So knowing that I wanted direct one day, like when I did the movies, I just would like watch the directors and the way they did it and how they directed and what they paid attention to what they didn't, And that's helped me. How was it being behind the

camera and in front of the camera great? Like it was one? Were you able to switch? It? Was? It was hard because just timing wise, we wanted to do a lot in twelve hours, but I think I was able to. I tried. I wanted. The next thing I want to do is I just want to direct, like a music video that I'm not I just be able to just watch and just do it. Where is baby Ariel ten years from now? Is she directing a film? Is she winning Emmy's Is she doing both? I'm hoping

I'm doing. I mean, it's like I'm gonna say it, so I hope it happens like I'm gonna say you're going to be Oprah and I'm going to direct when Grammy's and we're good, and then you'll come on my rendition of the Oprah Winter Show. Remember where we were ten years ago. Let's do it and we'll play this clip too. Oh yeah, hopefully we look so hot by that and even hotter than we are now. We're preaching very hard to imagine, honestly, and they can't even see

us right now. So but just the beauty that's ready can't even see us like it. Just that's really awesome. So also, in addition to you guys being able to hear the song right now, you'll be able to see the video and it will it be on your YouTube channel, It'll be on my YouTube channel. Yeah, okay, cool? And is there any hint that you can give me now? I mean, at this point will be in the future, so I'll already be satisfied, but right now very unsatisfied.

Your Okay, just know that you're gonna see, like I'm trying to think, you're gonna see a journey of like two really cool kids I think, and my best friends in it. So I was going to ask you because you did say that you guys worked together a lot, and I didn't know who the other characters were in the story, but it's it's me and my best friend Matthew, and that's all I'm saying. Ah, So basically just coming full circle because this is about influence and your influence

and now you're taking your influence to fulfill your dreams. Basically, what advice would you give somebody else who a lot of girls look up to you. I think your main demographic is like what you have, like a big fan club of girls like you want the sleepover and boys like I know we have talked about having a huge sleepover before and you want to these Oh please, I would like to come. We'll have popcorn. We've talked about

like two years. It's never happening yet. But what would you what would you advise somebody who's looking up to you? And I know you do a lot on your YouTube where you'll talk to the fans and be like be yourself and all these things, and you're super communicative with them. But advice you would give somebody because what you did is not the norm, by the way, so I know to you because you're living in it's just you. You

did the app and then you started pursue. You're talented, so you were able to pursue a bunch of different things. But you're in a very small percentage of people who transition into what you've transitioned Intoe. That's hard. There's so

many things that I want to tell them. Allow yourself to try new things, and don't put yourself into this box where like you started out singing, or you want to be a painter, or you want to play basketball, doesn't like, don't put yourself into that box and allow yourself to be free and like artistically, try different things and whatever your form of expression that day is, like go for it and do it, or else you're limiting yourself. I think, stay consistent as much as you possibly can.

One of the best advice so one has ever given to me, her name is Jessica. Hi Jesica, if you're watching when I first started, and it was about YouTube, and she probably doesn't even remember telling me this, but she's like your social media. The same way kids watch reality TV and they know it's or any TV. They know it's on like their favorite show, it's on five

pm every Wednesday. You have to make sure you're like a television and your YouTube videos up five pm every Wednesday, so people can really look forward to it and be excited for it and know that it's going to be there. So stay consistent as much as you possibly can. Don't hold yourself back, don't be scared, because I think fear is like our biggest roadblocks. Sometimes we're our own biggest enemy. And put yourself out there and meet new people and

collaborate as much as possible. That's been so many good tidbits like I'm trying. Yeah, that's really really great, and they've all worked for you. I'm so excited for all the things you have going. We barely scratched the surface, but I did want to focus on your music just because. But we know that you're a very talented actor. Thank you, and I'm really excited for all the things. Do you have anything coming out? I mean, I mean, I don't know how. I can't really talk about it at all,

but Zombies is coming out, so I saw that. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I can't I'm like, take this, aboy, I else want to talk to us. You know what I'm seeing is a common thread. I remember when I was growing up and it's like pick what you want to be when you grow up. It was almost like pick one thing and everyone had to be super laser focus. That's the problem. It's like, why do that to yourself? I actually think each thing you do lends itself to

the next thing. I mean, if I hadn't done like acting, I wouldn't feel confident enough to direct my music video. And literally like they're in two different worlds. But everything you do is helping you, so I might as well just do it. Whenever you break out of the box, people do it like who cares? I love that. I love that for you. And you're doing so well in

all these different arenas. When you when you can talk about zombies, now that you're that, I come back, please, I have so much to say when you can talk about zombies, Please come back. I was I need to know awful things. Oh, I have so much to say. I don't doubt it. I'm so excited, like so excited. Well, now you're getting me so excited? Should we extend another hour? All right, guys, we are going to let you enjoy wild Side. Do you want to go ahead and introduce it?

It's your baby? Shut up? There actually to listen to it. It's cool. Yeah, what if I was like, no, no, actually just kidding. Make you introduce it and then you're like, what would you do? Show it's not real. I hope you love it, and I hope it resonates with you, and I hope you see yourself in it and just do your own thing and love it, right, Hi, guys. Mhm h m hmm.
