00:00 Well, we're here with Gale, the amazing Gale.
00:03 Gale, how do you feel to be here tonight?
00:05 You were at Latin Music Week with so many other women.
00:07 What's the week been like for you?
00:09 - Oh my God, it's been so exciting and empowering
00:12 and inspiration.
00:14 (speaking in foreign language)
00:15 I'm so blessed to be here
00:17 and surrounded by such amazing artists.
00:20 And everyone looks amazing.
00:21 And I'm just grateful to be here tonight.
00:24 - Something amazing happened this year.
00:26 You're nominated for Best New Artist
00:28 at the Latin Grammys.
00:30 But how did, when you found out, what did you do?
00:34 What went through your mind?
00:36 - I screamed so hard.
00:38 This is something that I've been dreaming
00:40 since I was seven years old when I wrote my first song.
00:42 I always knew that I wanted to do this.
00:44 So it's such a blessing.
00:45 And I'm so happy to be celebrating every day
00:48 until the Latin Grammys come.
00:50 But very, very happy for this Best New Artist.
00:54 You only get to be nominated in that once.
00:57 I'm happy, happy, so happy to be nominated.
01:00 - So I know you dropped your album,
01:01 but is there anything else that you're working on?
01:03 I'm sure you're writing a bunch, recording a bunch.
01:05 So what can we expect from you?
01:07 - I'm working on new music.
01:08 I'm very excited.
01:10 But I have a release.
01:12 This month is full of surprises.
01:14 We need to stay in touch and stay tuned.
01:17 There's a collaboration with an artist
01:19 that I admire so much from Mexico.
01:22 Yes, so stay tuned.
01:23 Very excited for everything that's coming.
01:26 - Is it, well, no, I don't wanna ask you
01:28 'cause I don't wanna ruin it, but.
01:29 - Ask me, it doesn't matter.
01:30 - Música Mexicana?
01:31 - No, but there's something coming up like that soon.
01:37 But that song in particular, no.
01:40 - Okay, okay, cool.
01:41 - But it's still very exciting.
01:42 - Okay, one last question.
01:45 What's the most, besides the Latin Grammy nomination,
01:48 what's the most unexpected thing
01:49 that's happened to you this year?
01:52 - Oh my God, I went on tour with Juanes on Europa,
01:56 in España, and it was amazing.
01:59 Just being able to connect and perform my songs
02:01 and know everyone, you know?
02:05 And some galleons in the crowd singing back to me.
02:08 Insane. - Of course.
02:10 - I know, but still, it was my first time feeling that.
02:12 And it was so amazing, and I'm just very, very happy.
02:16 And I feel so much gratitude
02:17 for everything that's happening.
02:19 It's been a rollercoaster ride of,
02:22 (speaking in foreign language)
02:23 this year has been like that,
02:25 but I'm just taking it all in and living it.
02:29 Being very present and enjoying the moment.
02:31 But I would have to say that,
02:32 performing live and opening for Karlie Garcia too.
02:35 Amazing.
02:37 - Well, thank you so much, Karlie.
02:38 Have so much fun tonight.
02:39 - Thank you, I'm so excited. - Yeah, of course, yes.
