Please welcome to the show.
Prose Hi everyone.
I heard it extremely early.
There it is.
I know clink came great from the club. Hey, congratulations, I feel like your song is stuck in her head. Every hour I'm hearing it. It is absolutely flogged on radio sta It's so good. Yay.
But you're a Melbourne girl. At what point did you decide that this is this is what you were going to be doing. Did you grow up always wanting to be part of the music industry. I, honestly, at the beginning didn't really think that it was a much of a possibility.
And you really have like friends around me who like became singers or anything, and you know, it was just like normal. I went to just I just went to school and really didn't think of it as a possibility. So I always liked music, but was never like my dream is to become a singer, because I just didn't think it was possible and so kind of like all happened one day.
So yeah, speaking of going to school, you went to school with two of my sisters, Rose at Canterbury Girls. And they're really they are immensely proud. They're going around the streets of Melbourne saying we went to school with a Rose. What's it like to feel the love from your hometown.
It's crazy because I was like always like a shying girl at school, just normal, and so it's crazy to hear that everybody is listening to my song. I actually haven't been back even since my last single has been out, so I mean yet to experience how everybody's feeling about my music. But you know, I've been hearing things. So I'm very I'm honored and really excited.
Well you wouldn't have seen it, but the school has put up a giant statue of right out the front of the school grounds as you drive in. You're just gonna have to take our word for it.
What's it like working with someone like Bruno.
It's been Oh, it's been great. It's been such an experience. I've been such a big fan and so just to watch him do work in the studio I've been learning so much from him. I'm very very greatful.
What is a patar actually mean? What am I singing when I'm walking down the street to myself?
A drinking game?
What does it actually mean?
Yeah, so it's a Korean drinking game.
That's because all the.
Kids love it, so it's our favorite song.
Old.
Yeah, it's a it's a Korean drinking game and basically means apartment. And the game is about like you have to do the chant and then everybody stacks their hand in the middle like it's an apartment, and then whoever lands on the floor that has to take the shot. So it's just and it's like it seems I guess it's a good chat because like everybody just instantly fixed it up.
Do you have your six year old walking around the street singing it?
Ja? Yeah?
Yeah, my two year old is actually singing it.
It also just means apartments, so it's also very interesting.
I'll run with that for the two year old. How are the nerves? Because is it today your debut album gets dropped?
Yes, it is today.
How are you feeling? Oh my god?
I mean it's crazy. I'm like I've been ready for it to be out. So I'm just it's a day of celebration. I'm I'm extremely happy and just happy that I feel like i've been I've been saying as a joke, like I've been pregnant for too long with this baby. Just I'm ready for it to be.
What's the k pop world? Blick? It looks wild from afar? I mean, can you walk down the street in Korea?
Ah?
I mean if I cover my hair, my hair is very just like it kind of stands out. Yeah, so for like cover my hand and it's like usually fine and they're pretty chill. I haven't really walked out with my blonde hair out yet, so I don't know exactly how that would be.
Like I'm gonna I'm gonna stop you there. You look petrified about organ out on the street, then.
I should be mobbed absolutely.

I go sometimes say hi to my school teach, my favorite school teacher. I can actually I'm like, wow, I'm getting old because and then like I always say, I want to drive past my like my old house in Boolean, and we like drive past. Oh my god.
