00:00Madonna has spent decades challenging ideas around female sexuality and artistic freedom.
00:06What did collaborating with her teach you?
00:09Discipline.
00:11This woman, it's so disciplined, so organized.
00:18So, it's like, just the queen, just pop, queen of pop, literally the queen of pop.
00:28And just, like, getting to perform with her, going to her rehearsal, seeing how hard she goes for, you know,
00:36giving a perfect show, seeing how serious it is to be an artist, to be a pop star.
00:45Earlier in my career, like, getting to see that just showed me, I sat down, I was like, wait, this
00:54is how you're supposed to do it, this is how you're doing.
00:58And I was like, I'm going to learn from this and just, like, be better.
01:03I've come a long way, and I'm really proud of all the work that I've put on in becoming a
01:12way better performer.
01:14The energy, the fun, the, the, that's, this is why I do this, you know, this moment is to enjoy,
01:21to, to, to have fun, to forget about everything that's going on and just let go.
01:27You know, my set is very diverse. I was going from dembow to reggaeton to UDM to house to techno,
01:36even drum and bass.
01:39So, I felt, I felt, I felt it, you know, and I, and I feel like the crowd felt it
01:44too when they were there with me for every one of those genres.
01:47So, it was a good mix. This is what I, what I dreamed of, you know, since the beginning, I
01:53was like, I want to perform at big festivals, which is like, have my own show, have my, my choreography,
01:59you know.
01:59Out of stage, I'm very calm, very sweet, very caring, and then on stage, I'm just wild.
02:07Out of stage, I'm just wild. And, I feel like lately, more discipline. So, my mom always also gave me
02:16the freedom to be myself.
02:19She will always tell me, I, I gave you the most beautiful name, Tokicha. Nobody has a name in the
02:27R. So, that's you, you're different, you're unique.
02:31So, it's my mom's fault.
02:33Thanks mom.
