00:00 - Rema, congratulations on being nominated tonight.
00:03 How does it feel to be here at the VMAs?
00:06 - It's a blessing.
00:07 I thank God for the grace to be here,
00:08 to be around amazing people
00:12 that have inspired me over time, yeah, yeah.
00:14 - Correct me if I'm wrong,
00:16 but I read that in your earlier times,
00:18 you used to sneak into a studio to make music,
00:21 and now you're here on a larger scale.
00:25 What advice do you have for young Rema?
00:28 - Just believe in yourself.
00:30 First thing, be true to yourself, be true to your sound.
00:34 Don't try and copy no one.
00:36 If you're trying to copy, make it better.
00:38 And keep real ones around you,
00:40 people who tell you if it's good or if it's not good.
00:43 And I feel like what's most important
00:46 is that you stay grounded with every level you get.
00:49 Stay grounded and keep the family close, that's it.
00:52 - What projects do you have
00:53 that you're excited to share with us, if any?
00:56 - Projects, small bangers, I never lie.
01:00 When I say more bangers, I mean more bangers, that's it.
