And I guess that my curiosity for us is also related with the things that you like to do and one of them is music, making music, singing music, exploring and connecting with it, and I wonder how that journey started for you, if it was something that was always present or if it grow as you get curious about yourself and the thing that you like or something else.

Yeah, so the timeline for this, uh, gift that I've been given, uh, since, you know, I came into this earth, it's s- I had, uh, some sort of an awareness when I was young that I can sing because I keep winning the talent shows.

[laughs] But you know, when you're young you just kinda do what you do, um, and sing the, sing the songs you love and you hear, and so, you know, um, I think that's like the most, uh, clear memory that I have is when I join a pageant show.
4:33
Yes, I used to be in a little pageant show back in the village every New Year's, and I keep winning and, um, and from there I didn't really think much of it 'cause, you know, when you're a kid you don't really think much of what you do and what you sing and what you share.

And when you're, when you had daddy issues, you know, you try and like, if I- it's my dad, like the first time I haven't really, uh, spent any time with him except that moment when I met him, and there was a karaoke in that hotel so I started singing to impress him.
5:22
And as I started singing this song, "Strumming my pain with," it was Roberta Flack, and what I knew was the version that came in with the, the hip-hop version and so I was doing a hip-hop version of that.
