00:00 I'm here with Tiny here at the Billboard Power 100.
00:03 So good to see you.
00:04 How are you feeling tonight?
00:05 I'm good.
00:05 I'm happy to be here.
00:06 Good to see you, too.
00:07 Yeah, thank you.
00:08 And of course, we're at the Power 100
00:10 celebrating super powerful people in the industry.
00:12 You're here with your manager, Lex.
00:13 How has it felt to be able to celebrate someone
00:16 that has built you up from the ground up, basically,
00:19 in your career?
00:20 I mean, it's special.
00:20 You know, every time my team gets a--
00:22 We're talking about you.
00:23 Oh, yeah.
00:24 That's the man.
00:25 Yeah, every time the team gets a win, it's a win for all of us.
00:29 So it's special for him to get his work and his impact
00:34 recognized and appreciated.
00:36 I think I couldn't ask for a better partner
00:39 in this journey.
00:40 So I'm happy for him and excited to be here.
00:42 That's amazing.
00:43 And what advice do you have for someone who's just starting out
00:46 in the industry now, who wants to get to where you're at right
00:48 now?
00:49 I think touching just exactly that, finding the right team,
00:53 I think, is ideal.
00:54 The right person to go with you.
00:56 You know, on the right, I'm a producer.
00:58 And when I started doing music, my expertise and my talents
01:03 weren't in the business side of all of it.
01:06 And dealing with the people and the labels and stuff,
01:09 it's not something that we're built.
01:11 We don't have that knowledge coming up.
01:14 So to have somebody that understands that side,
01:16 but also understands the creative and the artistic side,
01:19 I think it's a special thing.
01:20 And they should really look for that person.
01:23 It doesn't always come at the beginning.
01:25 I started when I was 15, and I met Lex, I don't know,
01:28 like five years ago.
01:29 So it was a while until I can find that person that really
01:33 take me to that next level.
01:34 And as you get bigger, it's important to have people
01:36 that you trust in your circle.
01:38 Exactly.
01:38 I think that's the basics of it, to trust and understand
01:42 one another.
01:43 And I think that's something that I
01:44 know we have from the beginning.
01:46 So to see it grow and get to these places, I think,
01:49 is special.
01:51 Leslie, what are you looking forward to this year?
01:54 I mean, I just hope we have an amazing year,
01:57 a lot of good things, whether it's in music,
02:00 whether it's in life, family, and all those things.
02:03 I just think that we're going to have a really cool and exciting
02:07 2024.
02:08 Let's see what it holds.
02:09 And I'm excited for it.
