00:00What was your dance background, and did you help with any of the choreography at all?

00:04Oh no, I didn't help with the choreography.

00:06We had an amazing choreography team, and they really did a great job of making something

00:10that felt super authentic to what a boy band would do.

00:14My dance background comes from performing on stage behind artists, so it was really

00:18interesting to then step onto kind of the other side, instead be the artist, and be

00:22the one holding the mic and carrying the tune, yeah.

00:26I know a lot of people have, you know, made comparisons for August Moon, and also comparing

00:32it to One Direction, but was there any other boy bands or boy band members that you look

00:36to for inspiration?

00:38I really wanted to create something that felt authentic and unique to myself, so I really

00:43wanted to just look at what do I bring to the table, and how would I live this out if I was

00:48someone who got picked to be in a boy band, like what would that experience look like

00:51on my body, on my voice, like what would that look like for me?

00:55And I think that we really did that, I think we created something that's unique, like August

00:58Moon is not like a knockoff of anything else, August Moon is August Moon, yeah.

01:03It's OG content.

01:05Yeah, I know, I love that.

01:06Well, was there any version of August Moon for you?

01:08I know a lot of, like we said, a lot of Moonheads in the house, who was that for you, who was

01:12an artist or a band that you absolutely obsessed over growing up?

01:16Well, not growing up, but BTS is so cool.

01:19Okay.

01:20They are so, so cool, and so I do love BTS, and I love seeing how those boys are just performers,

01:27like just really strong performers.

01:29So, uh, BTS if you're watching, yeah.

01:31Yes, if you're watching, then...
