00:00So Ivan, I got to talk to you about being 19 years old and playing arenas that have 70,000 people in them, like, everybody's not doing that at 19. How do you feel?
00:08Man, I feel great. I'm very grateful for everything, happy to be here tonight.
00:13And what do you feel it is that your fans love about your music so much that has you connecting?
00:18I think my music just emotionally connects with them and I feel like it puts them in another world and I think from the lyrics to the sound, I think it's just, it's raw.
00:31And you're bringing that sound to Coachella, so what can people expect in the desert this year?
00:35Yeah, man, there's a lot of surprises coming in Coachella and I'm super excited, looking forward to it.
00:41It's my first time ever and, you know, it's like the biggest festival in the world and I just, I'm so happy to be, you know.
00:48You said surprises, is there a little something you can tease for us there?
00:50Oh man, I don't know.
00:52Seems like my publicist is standing right behind me.
00:54Right behind me. Yeah, no, there's going to be, it's going to be such a great two weeks.
00:59And then I Love You also are planning on donating proceeds to FireAid, so why was that important for you to do?
01:04Yeah, I think I just, I'm from L.A., I'm born in, I was born in Riverside and I've spent a lot of my, you know, career and time in L.A.
01:13And I think it was just so tragic what happened and I was very inspired with L.A., how much they all came together and it just inspired me to just, you know, add my bit as much as I could, you know.
01:27Thanks so much, thanks for taking the time to talk to us, Amanda.
01:29Sweater, fire.
01:30Thank you so much.
