00:00How does it feel to be here celebrating music tonight at the iHeartRadio Awards?
00:03I mean, I'm so excited to be here. It's super fun and it's a beautiful day, so I'm excited to
00:07see what happens.
00:08I don't know what to expect for the show.
00:10What do you remember about the first time you heard yourself on the radio?
00:14I was driving in my car, of course, and I think I was alone.
00:18And I pulled over like in a gas station. It was obviously like the most exciting thing that's ever happened
00:23to me. It was so fun.
00:25What do you have coming up in 2026 that you're excited about?
00:28I have a new album in the works, which I'm very excited about.
00:32I've been working on it for like the past six months to a year, so I think the fans are
00:36very hungry for it and excited.
00:38So I'm looking forward to dropping that.
00:41How would you describe this new album and, you know, next era for yourself?
00:46I feel like it's cutting edge. It's innovative. It's something new.
00:51You know, I'm constantly like evolving, I think, in a direction that the fans can maybe predict, but can't always
00:57predict, which I love.
00:59So always keep them guessing, always trying something new.
01:02So, yeah, it's hard to say.
01:04I love also like genre blending, so it's really hard to like obviously say that it's exactly this or that
01:10when it uses like different elements of like whether it be R&B, pop, electronic music, dance music, all those
01:15things.
01:16So, you know, I love that.
01:19And I've been asking people a couple questions here tonight since it's the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
01:23What's the song that when you hear it on the radio, you have to turn it up and jam out
01:27no matter what?
01:28Oh, let's see.
01:32The song that I'm jamming on the radio, I mean, I love to listen to some like Meg Thee Stallion
01:37or like some Cardi B, you know, that always like gets me in the mood, to like some WAP or
01:41something.
01:42That's like turning the party up every time.
01:44Every time.
01:45And what's the song that's on repeat for you right now?
01:49Oh, right now?
01:50Okay, I'm listening to this song called Telepathy Love by this artist named Benny X.
01:56I believe that's how you say his name.
01:57He's really amazing.
01:58It's so good.
01:59It's also like very genre blending and like cutting edge and innovative.
02:03I really love it.
