00:00And, you know, a residency is a big commitment.
00:02What was it about this opportunity that made you say yes?
00:06A commitment that, you know, some people, you know, may feel is obligation.
00:12For me, it's passion-based, and everything that I've ever done has been with creativity in mind.
00:17So what I saw as an opportunity to really go all the way back and maybe do things that I hadn't done before,
00:25and also to find a way to introduce all of my audience to each other.
00:30You know what I mean?
00:31Like, hey, there's people who really do like OMG and DJ Got Us Falling In Love,
00:35and there's people who like Confessions, My Way, You Don't Have To Call.
00:39And they may not necessarily see each other.
00:42So to be able to party together and have a good time, that was the work that is just a show.
00:48But you're right.
00:49A residency definitely becomes obligation because of the amount of shows that you may take on.
00:55Of which we take on about three shows a week.
00:58But it gives me the opportunity to really perfect it every night because I have a bit of a break unless I have a back-to-back show.
01:06But, man, all of that aside, you know, I just hope that people are coming out here prepared to have an experience
01:13that is just going to get them back to a place.
01:16I think music is always intended to be healing.
01:18It's a universal language, and it's a thing that brings people together.
01:22So, you know, I had the opportunity to try some things that I hadn't done before.
01:27I'm skating on stage.
01:29I brought a little bit of Atlanta.
01:30That was my favorite part.
01:30That was your favorite part?
01:31My favorite part, yeah.
01:32I brought a lot of Atlanta culture in here.
01:34Yes, and I live in Atlanta now, so I was into it.
01:37So you get it.
01:37So you know I can't skate.
01:38Yep, exactly.
01:39And I was jealous also because I still can't even do the toe stop.
01:43That was my favorite.
