First of all, congrats on your single with Russo. We were just talking to him about you.
Yeah, thank you.
He said you're kind of like a big brother to him.
I mean, that's that's that's really like a brother to me. I brought him on tour. Um, you know, I've just been trying to help in any way I can because I believe in him a lot. You know, he's just he's a young artist from St. Louis with an incredible voice and an incredible voice not just in the sense of like how he sounds singing, but the voice that he writes from. His his position as an artist, his perspective. You know, and what he's experienced and what he's been able to turn into his art and into his music. Yeah. I think he makes great songs.
And tonight's event all is all about supporting the fight against breast cancer. Have you ever had anyone in your life that suffered from breast cancer or something like that and how did it affect you?
Not extremely, extremely close, but yes, friends of mine and it's, you know, it's like when they asked me, it was just a no-brainer. It was something that I was happy to be a part of.
Yeah. And then the hashtag for tonight is we can survive. What's one thing in your life that makes you feel the most alive right now?
Music. Music, absolutely. Music is an incredible thing because once you record it, it's like you you cap this energy in a bottle and it can last forever, you know what I mean? And it can even outlive us. Like so, music can travel farther than we can, it can live longer than we can. It's an incredible powerful thing and it brings us together and that's why a night like tonight's so special because you got all these thousands of people and all these great artists that have been brought together because of music. So.
Well, thank you. It's good you're good at music, right?
Thank you. Thank God.
