00:00I am so proud of my new film, Infinite Icon.
00:05It was such an amazing experience and just also very healing in so many ways, just to
00:14go back and reflect on so much of my life and see how strong I am and everything that
00:20I went through and endured, and now to be able to create this incredible film that really
00:27dives into so much of my life and just be more real and vulnerable than I've ever been.
00:34And I just am so excited for the world to see it when it comes into theatres on January 30th.
00:41This is a trilogy, the first part being This Is Paris, my first documentary, and then through
00:47my memoir where I went even deeper, and now through this film, it really just shows my
00:54life through the lens of music and just how important music has always been to me and
01:00how it's been something that really saved me in my life.
01:04And I really just wanted to go back and show all of that and just show my journey through
01:11music and through everything that I've created from it and so many different parts of my life.
01:18That's why there's so many different chapters to it, and it's just like a—I've never seen
01:25a music documentary like it in my life before.
01:27It's very special.
01:29I really realized it just after being a teenager and everything that I went through in these schools
01:37to come out and just, you know, had been through so much trauma.
01:43And when I would be out at night and be around just music and the clubs and all of that,
01:50it
01:51was like this escape from trauma and pain, and it would just bring me so much happiness
01:56and joy.
01:57And then when I started making my own music and just being in the studio and writing and
02:03creating music and how that was so healing to me.
02:07And then now, through this documentary and just seeing at my concert and looking into
02:12the audience and just seeing how much happiness it brought so many others just proved to me
02:18even more just the power of music.
02:21Having my first concert was so exciting.
02:25I was so nervous because I'm actually a very naturally shy person.
02:31But as soon as I got on stage and just looked out and saw all of my fans there and
02:37just how
02:38excited everyone was and everyone was screaming and singing and crying and dancing and just
02:43having the time of their life and just feeling so much love and energy in the room was just
02:50so magical and just made me realize even more that this is the reason I do what I do and
02:56I
02:57just have the best fans in the world and I just want to show them that through this film
03:02as well.
03:03It's why I dedicated a whole chapter to my fans just so they could know how incredibly
03:08important they are to me and that I love them so much and I've considered them like my family.
03:14I just really looked back on so many things that I went through and I feel like I never really
03:22gave myself the credit of what I survived.
03:26It's been such a journey and I've been through you know so many things that have been extremely
03:34painful but really just showing myself how strong I am and that I can make it through
03:41anything.
03:42And just so proud of everything that I've accomplished in life and how I've always been a trailblazer
03:48and someone who has created their own lane and now to see so many people around the world
03:56who have been inspired by me is extremely empowering.
