00:00So, talk to me how it feels to be at All Heart Radio and have your music be celebrated, man.
00:04It don't feel real, man. I ain't gonna lie. I could have sworn, not even a year ago, actually,
00:13yeah, towards 10 months ago, I was working at Walmart.
00:16Wow.
00:18I don't know how to feel. It's very, it just shows anything can happen. You know, God is good.
00:24Yeah, I'm a former believer in that.
00:26And outside of just, like, walking the carpet tonight, like, what's a moment that you've felt in your career so far
00:31where you're like, wow, like, I wanted this and it's happening for me?
00:35The fact that I'm here, you know, the fact that I'm getting interviewed about my life and my music,
00:41I think that's big enough for me to even say, I don't know, I'm important now, you know?
00:47So, I ain't just the boy that work at Walmart no more, you know? So, I love it, man.
00:52And then for people that are just being introduced to your music, what do you want them to feel about you?
00:56What is your introduction?
00:58I just want them to know that I'm a regular person.
01:01I just know how to articulate my feelings in a way where I can put it in my music.
01:06And I want them to understand that, you know, they can listen to it and they can, you know, vibe with it.
01:12And then you might be new to the game, but it's a lot of legends gonna be on it tonight.
01:16Taylor Swift, Gaga, Mariah Carey. Like, what do you feel about some of those awesome performers?
01:20Oh, come on, man. I just pray to God one day I'll be like them, you know?
01:25Yeah, man.
01:26Mariah, you know, I heard Nelly gonna be here. Yeah, it's exciting. Hopefully I can get to meet them, too.
01:32Hey, who do you want to take a selfie with?
01:34Mariah.
01:35Yeah, that's the one. That's the one. I remember I got my first one.
01:38And I saw you smiling back there, too. So, who are you excited to see?
01:41Lady Gaga. And Mariah, though. And Mariah. Mariah.
