00:00I am live backstage with Avery Wilson, main stage performer.
00:08Hello, hello, hello.
00:09What's up, what's up?
00:10How was your show?
00:12Incredible, honestly.
00:13Yeah, just to be a part of something like this where I've looked up to these artists,
00:17you know, Maxwell and Mariah Carey.
00:19I mean, the list goes on.
00:20Just the fact that I get that one little moment to share space with them,
00:22it gives me that inspiration to keep going.
00:24You know, it's possible.
00:25And it's a big stage out there.
00:27All those people feeling your music.
00:28How does that feel?
00:30That feels amazing.
00:31You're right.
00:31It's huge out there, especially for one person.
00:33Right.
00:33It's a really big moment.
00:35But you love to sing.
00:36I'm sorry, sang.
00:38You sang, right?
00:38Just a little song like that.
00:39Yeah, a little extra A.
00:40Can we get a little serenade?
00:41Because everybody loves to hear you sing.
00:43Can Essence, can the ladies watching live get a little something?
00:45Absolutely.
00:46I've been so many places in my life and time.
00:51I've sung a lot of songs.
00:54And I've made some bad rhymes.
00:58I've acted out my life on stages with 10,000 people watching.
01:06But we were alone now.
01:10And baby, I was singing this song to you.
