Hi. Hi. I love your outfit. Um, so you have so much going on. We're at Jingle Ball by the way, first off. I was going to say, I feel like I already know who you're fanning over here.

Oh, yes. I'm going to say Britney. Of course. It's her birthday tonight. So it's a very very special evening, and um we're going to be performing for the first time together on the same stage. So, I'm kind of dying.

I was going to say, cuz I remember when you you tweeted that you were dying when she like tweeted your video, right?

Yeah, I was dying when she tweeted my video. I was dying when I first saw her live in Vegas, so it was like to be on the same stage performing with her, it's just like, what? So. Pretty cool.

How did that even come about? Cuz you did a collab, like how did how do you go from that moment to them like, oh my god, now you're performing with her?

I don't even know, like the stars, the universe align for me, I guess, but very, very, very exciting stuff. I mean, I've been a fan of hers for years and years, so to be a part of her legacy, it's just like very very cool. Very cool.

You also teased that you're doing a collab with Diplo, right?

Ooh, well we have worked together. We've worked together on several occasions. It's a matter of time before one of them comes out. Like for when one of you guys hear it. So yeah, I just saw him in the other room, so.

Then holiday traditions. Do you have anything like fun that you do with your family or what do you love to do?

Oh, I mean, me and my brothers have a Christmas production that we put on, I choreograph

What what I was going to say, what goes into that?

Um, there's choreography, and I made it up probably around like age I would say eight or nine. We still do the original choreography every year. So

So it's like a tradition it's a performance at some point. It's on point. Um, Who gets to see it? Just the family or

It's like my parents and that's it.

It's not posted on any of your socials or anything, we don't get to see it?

Maybe Snapchat this year.

Maybe Snapchat. Maybe Snap we'll see it. Look out.

Yeah, look out for the Christmas performance

Christmas production by Tinashe.

Exactly.

Have you ever gotten anything crazy from like a fan? Like any cool gifts?

Oh, my fans give me a lot of really amazing stuff. They've given me like shoes, watches, jewelry. They're so so so so so.

I'm jealous.

Yeah, no no no they're like crazy. So I appreciate them a lot.

Have you ever done the Secret Santa game? Speaking of gift like

Yeah.

If you had to do it here with any celebrity tonight, who would you want to get a gift from?

Okay, I want to get a gift from Britney, duh.

I was going to say, and uh I think the gift is you performing with her tonight.

I just want to Well, yeah. But I just would love to see what she would get. I don't know like what what direction she'd go. Would she like give me a candle, would she give me, I don't know. I don't know.

And then Nightride. So that's like, so tell us about like the sound and kind of like the inspirations behind like what you went for.

Nightride is like the introductory piece. It like shows kind of one side of my artistry, which is kind of more of the I would say like the moody, dark kind of R&B nighttime vibe. So that's kind of where Nightride conceptually goes into Joyride, which is going to be your new album. That's the new album that's coming out, and that's much more like high energy, and it has like some more fast stuff, more tempo, and it just feels like, okay, this is like a different mood, this is a different zone, but as an artist, I never like to just be stuck in one box and only do like one thing or the other. So I like to create it all.

Is there any like sneak peeks of 2017 that you can like tell your fans? Ooh. Besides Joyride.

More collaborations. Look out.

I was going to say I feel like I've That's what I feel for you. More collabs happening.

Yeah.

Are happening. So very exciting. And then lastly, what's like the first holiday jingle that comes to mind?

I mean, we're going to have to just do Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Is that the Christmas song? Oh, so romantic.

Part of the Christmas production. That's going to be happening. I love it. So good to see you.

Thank you.

Have fun.

Thank you.
