00:00We've been talking twice a week.
00:01You're funny but like when is this coming out?
00:08Hey this is Who, What, Where and I'm Pink Pantheress, let's get into it.
00:14I don't really believe in astrology because I don't feel like
00:16anything I've heard necessarily applies to me too much.
00:19I don't know, I don't want to offend anyone so I'm just going to stop talking now.
00:22But my sign is Aries, my manager knows all of my risings and everything
00:26but I don't know what they are, I'm not going to lie to you.
00:29I'd say my go-to outfit formula would be to wear like leggings
00:33with some long UGG boots which like go up to my like half or something.
00:37I really am a big fan of boots but mostly UGG boots just because they're so soft
00:40and it kind of just feels like you're wearing slippers all the time.
00:42And then on the top half I usually wear like a tan care,
00:44just something really fitted and nice and tight on the top.
00:46And then maybe like a cute jacket but definitely a handbag, you can't forget that.
00:50Don't blame me.
00:51I'd say I have a quintessential look but I don't necessarily know what that would be.
00:54I'd say a lot of people describe my look as kind of being ugly
00:58or like genuine early 2000s style that's what I've read online.
01:01I wouldn't categorize it as that.
01:03I'd say my style was more like mum core.
01:06Also Africa core which actually I've decided I'm going to make now
01:09which isn't necessarily like African garments like you'd expect
01:12but more so cheetah print.
01:14Animals you'd see in the African safari where I'm from Kenya.
01:16I love going on a safari and a lot of fur stuff.
01:20Faux fur of course because we aren't killing animals.
01:24The inspiration behind the Heaven Knows artwork.
01:27I just really wanted an animal to be on the cover with me.
01:29At first it was going to be like a cheetah kind of vibe or a leopard.
01:32I ended up choosing a dove just because it made more sense with the music that I had on the
01:36album.
01:36And plus it was a lot easier to get a dove and I wasn't as scared of the dove
01:40as I would have been of like a real life cheetah or lion to be honest with you.
01:44I'd say in terms of what I can tease about my new music
01:46I feel like I've definitely genre bended a few times.
01:50Like I love doing drum and bass obviously in a garage
01:52but sometimes I kind of feel like being more pop vibes
01:56and I feel like I've been very inspired by a lot of the pop girlies at the moment.
02:00Especially after meeting Tyler who's such a queen.
02:02I love her so much.
02:03So I feel inspired to make more pop stuff just because I like how it sounds.
02:07And I don't know I kind of just want to try something new and a little bit different.
02:12I want to satisfy everybody my old fans and my new fans
02:14but it's going to be somewhere in the middle of my old style lifestyle.
02:17It's going to be like pop vibes. Yeah.
02:22I really wanted to be a teacher to be honest with you
02:24just because like I really enjoy like hanging out with kids.
02:28I just enjoy like the company of kids because they can just be really funny
02:31and I kind of just enjoy how funny they can be without filtering themselves.
02:34And I still want to get into that so I don't know how long I'm going to be in music
02:38but I do want to teach kids at some point. We'll see.
02:41Hello.
02:42No, I'm very busy right now.
02:45I don't go online very much at all so I haven't seen that many trends of my music
02:50but I have definitely seen some edits because people involve me in those edits.
02:54It'll be me in slow motion being all like sexy and stuff
02:56and I don't necessarily strive to be sexy.
02:59So seeing those edits kind of gives me a confidence boost.
03:02I was kind of trying to make my music go viral at the very beginning
03:05because I really wanted to be a singer
03:08and I kind of felt like that was the only way at the time.
03:10So I kind of hoped it would go viral and I kind of manifested it to go viral
03:14so in a way I kind of knew it would go viral.
03:16That's how manifestation works.
03:22I'm so sorry about the neighbors.
03:24They love playing rock music at this time of day.
03:27Nothing I can do about it but hopefully you don't mind it.
03:30Who am I calling up to give the first preview of my new single?
03:34I'd say it would be my manager or my best friend because she's very honest
03:39and she wouldn't lie to me if the song was really bad.
03:41My routine for the perfect night in would probably be my laptop and YouTube.
03:46Probably the most time that I spend on myself is on YouTube watching stupid videos.
03:50That's just my truth.
03:51And my favorite city in the world is London, of course.
03:54Even though I'm not from there, it's just such a nice place to be.
03:56I just love how fast it is but also how slow it is.
03:59I love the food there.
04:01I love my friends who all live there.
04:02If you haven't gone, please go.
04:04London's my favorite city.
04:08This is Pink Panther's HQ and only the most important stuff happens here.
