Which was really, really cool.

Did you get any new tattoos since we've hung out?

Yes, tons. I just got this one like a week ago. It says Constantine.

Constantine.

It's my horse's name. I got this heart on my pinky. And then I got this hawk on my finger. Oh, and I got that.

What's that?

It says I've been on fire lately.

You have been on fire lately. Let's walk up to the stage. Let's see how close we can get. Do we perform right now? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to feel with somebody. Okay, so there's our performance. That was a performance. Thank you, Austin. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Tracy is joining us, guys. Here's my plate. Tracy just joined us. Food for the

Hi, Tracy.

Hey, Tracy.

Hey, how's it going?

So you know this interview is going to be you guys talking and me eating. So, we're at South by just chilling, hanging out, stubbs barbecue. Have you I'm you've been to Austin, right? Yeah. Okay. So what's your favorite part of Austin?

Uh downtown's like the coolest and so much music history here and like really cool stuff here.

You're like killing it. As always. I mean your debut album is coming out, right? At some point this year?

Thank you. Yeah, I'm I don't know what to start with first.

Okay, let's start with Katie Perry because um

Yeah. That was really dope. That was like the dopest thing I've ever done. She's the sweetest. She It's just like fun to watch every night because like her show is so crazy. It just like the

Have you seen the Witness tour yet?

No, but I would love I we have to do that. I have to see it. It was it was crazy.

You have an amazing song with an artist and I just cannot pronounce their name. But I'm going to try and then you can teach me how to do it later. Xtentacion.

Xtentacion. I think I think he's great. I think he's a really incredible artist and I love his music. I love his writing. I love how real he is and I think he's really sick.

Oh. Hello.

Hi, mom.

Brandy. Mama, Cyrus has come to the party. Are you good? I just ordered you guys like everything. How do you describe like your cuz you're like your genre cuz you can kind of fit into a bunch of different things, but you're kind of like a darker pop, I feel.

I like to stick with pop with pop artists, I guess. But I like to

And you have such a different sound.

I like to do different genres inside the pop. Right. Yeah. That's kind of I like doing like hints of different stuff.

So is that like kind of what the album's going to be like sneak peek of more to come on there.

The album's going to have some acoustic sounds, but also, you know, a little more like alternative, I guess.

I don't know if I'm alternative. I would say like left of center pop. Like, you know, like it's not like down the middle, but it's a little off to the left a little bit.

Yeah, that's that's a good way to put it actually.

Okay, so your sweatshirt. We have to talk about that. Oh, yeah, we have to talk about the single. Because the single if you haven't heard it is called We Are.

We Are. It's called We Are. We Are is about like social media. Deep. Um, and comments, followers, likes, posting, hate comments, love comments, kind of everything. Uh, the false sense of reality that uh, social media brings and I was just talking about it, I guess more kids are starting to realize that they don't want social media and are starting to remove social media from their phone.

Yeah, I read about that the other day. Now, you grew up with a family clearly in this industry, and so you've seen it. You've seen it all, you've heard it all. And like comments for you in the beginning, you really took them like

Yeah, I took them really hard. Like you're going to get them, delete your Instagram if you don't want them, or learn to ignore them. Like that was really like the hard truth. Well you can't just sit around and read these comments and you got to grow some thick skin.

Well, I also feel like your music too like you're so like confident and like everything you're doing. So like, do you think it's kind of helped you sort of

Yeah, it's totally helped me like grow some thick skin and like just not care what people say.

The song's amazing. Like it's a very like upbeat like.

Thank you.

You collaborate with. And like an anthem.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Moe is featured on it. Moe. She's great. And she's the best. I was just thinking who's like a super sick girl that would be able to feature on it and like 360 the song and that was Moe.

You have really good taste.

Thank you. I love Moe. Love her.

Let's teach Tracy the shimmy on the way out. You ready? shimmy here. Five, six, seven, eight. Now forward and back and forward.
