00:00What advice would you have to up-and-coming artists?
00:04Do you know the one thing that's that served me really well is
00:07is performing, being out and performing live in front of crowds
00:11because there's one thing about creating your songs
00:14and I think there's so many talented people who can create music
00:17when you're in your safe space
00:19but when you go out and you get to perform
00:21it's just a different world
00:22and I feel like that's really served me well
00:24that I was DJing before my kind of rise to fame with Born To Do It
00:29so when I saw a crowd in front of me it was like
00:31ah, okay, I know this
00:32and I feel that's one thing I always say to any new aspiring artist
00:36try and be comfortable with crowds early on
00:38because if you have a big hit all of a sudden
00:40and then they throw you on stage at the Jingle Bell Ball
00:42in front of 16,000 people
00:44that's a big one that some people can rise and fall to
00:47pun, pun, pun, you know
