00:00 All right, I'm surrounded by cats.

00:05 Hi Bandwagon Asia, this is Eazy.

00:08 Baby, what are you looking for?

00:16 I've been hoping to do an Asia tour for the past couple of years.

00:26 And sadly, it's always come to a point where we couldn't make it happen or something happened.

00:32 Hi baby. Okay.

00:34 But it's like, I'm really, really hell bent.

00:37 I'm hoping that this year, I definitely want to make something happen.

00:41 And I know there's a lot of people in a lot of places that have been waiting to see me for a long time.

00:46 So I'm going to try my best to make it happen.

00:49 I wasn't intentionally trying to write a song that was very personal.

01:00 I think what ended up happening was I went into a studio and with ideas of lyrics that were going through my head.

01:08 And at the time I was very, very mad.

01:11 It just sounds like words kind of just got thrown onto a song.

01:15 And it just became very personal after looking at the whole picture.

01:18 But I hope to write more personal things.

01:21 But I also feel like sometimes when you just try to write like things that have happened to you off your experience.

01:28 I know it's different for every writer.

01:30 But for me, sometimes it traps me in a bubble.

01:32 So I feel like personal experience plus a little bit of imagination is probably the sweet spot.

01:45 This year, I'm planning on going back on the waterfall system.

01:48 I think I'm in a system where I'm currently actively trying to release a song every four to six weeks.

01:54 And eventually once that ball gets rolling and gets easier, I'm going to try to go back to the song every two week system.

02:01 Because I have a lot of music that I really want to put out into the world.

02:05 I just don't have the opportunity right now.

02:07 So I think that'll be really cool.

02:10 Do you have a message for your fans?

02:16 I would love to.

02:17 I think this came out very last minute.

02:20 I think maybe like two weeks before we came.

02:23 We had a recommendation saying, "What do you guys think about doing a fan meet?"

02:28 And I thought it was perfect.

02:29 And it ran perfectly.

02:31 And I was really, really happy about it.

02:33 I think a lot of the fans, especially because I had never been to Malaysia before.

02:36 There have been a lot of people who haven't been able to see me.

02:39 And I also think because when you go and do shows and there's VIP meet and greet,

02:45 some people aren't able to, they're not in the right situation to be able to see you even if they want to.

02:50 So I really wanted an opportunity where I could meet the fans in Malaysia.

02:55 And just like that, I'm hoping in the future that I can do more of those things in all the regions that I go on tour.

03:02 So hopefully that can happen.

03:04 Hopefully I can keep it free.

03:05 Thank you so much.

03:07 I know that I haven't been able to come out to Asia as often as I wish I could.

03:12 But hopefully in 2024 and 2025, I get to come out a lot more.

03:16 I get to do a lot more of those meet and greets.

03:18 I get to see a lot more people.

03:20 And just thank you so, so much for supporting my music so much.

03:24 Because without you guys, I can't release music.

03:30 And music means a lot to me.

03:32 So I appreciate that you guys have been enjoying my music as well.
