Havana Brown on "Warrior", Pitbull, & Tour Essentials

Hey, it's Havana Brown and I'm about to do my interview with Young Hollywood.

And we're just about here. I'm here with the lovely Havana Brown. How are you?

Hello. I'm good. How are you?

Thanks for stopping in.

No, thank you for having me.

And you're everywhere. You're not just here, you're everywhere. Your music right now is just blowing up around the world.

Well, yes. It's doing really well.

It is doing well. It is doing well. So congratulations on that.

Thank you. Thank you.

And this didn't just obviously come from nothing. How did this all start for you?

Oh, well, look, I've been DJing for like eight years now. Right. Like so I've been DJing for a very long time, but before that I was actually making music and singing and recording. And um then I started DJing. That took off and I was doing really well doing that and then I just got a bit itchy and I wanted to get back in the studio and start working on my own music.

As a DJ. And the DJ world you I mean you've you've toured with some amazing like Rihanna and Gaga and Britney and all these people. When that first started happening, was it like, whoa?

Yeah, well, absolutely. I didn't think that um at that stage there'd never been a DJ supporting an artist. Right. And it was a great idea because it was fresh, it was new. And it wasn't tiring for the crowd, you know, and it was very exciting and got everyone in the right mood in the party mood. And um so it was really successful for me and it helped me um grow my name and my DJ career overseas as well. And I was touring a lot here as well before I released music. So Yeah, I know. It's been really great for me.

Right. And warrior is the new the new record. It's coming out.

Yes, it is.

Which you look phenomenal in.

Oh, thank you.

Very feisty. Yeah. I think that's the right term. Feisty. You see I'm just holding it around like this in the video. Is that, did you like that? Did you like that? I could have done that. I could have done that if you could stand great.

Yeah, I did. I had to practice for, you know, months for that. I like it. You know, so.

I like it. Um and you write all your own music as well.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I work with great producers and writers. You know, I like to write with different people and yeah, I'm very involved in the whole creative process.

And now Pitbull's been a big part of your career as well. hasn't he?

Yes.

Another another small name that's been around.

Yeah, just one.

Yeah. How did you and you guys work work quite a lot together. How did that come about?

Um, well, I released "We Run The Night" in Australia. Right. And um that was without Pitbull. Right. It didn't have Pitbull on it. But then when we were going to release it internationally, RedOne re-did the production on it and he asked Pitbull to be involved in it. And when he heard the track, um he loved it and I was too actually I was touring with him at the same time with Enrique Iglesias as well. So we got to meet and it was just kind of like the star sort of aligned and it kind of worked out that way. Yeah, literally it worked out that way. Stars aligned. Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull. And, you know, it it was it it was like an honor for him to be on the track because I've been playing his music since I started DJing and um way back before he was commercially on radio. You know, like when he was doing record time and um so I I admired him. He knows how to get people moving.

Dreams coming true in Hollywood. Now you have traveled a lot doing this. Where in the world uh do you think has the craziest dance scene? Crazy in a good way.

I think um Miami, Vegas, Paris is amazing. I've had some of my best shows I've ever done um in Paris. So with like 43,000 people in the stadium. It's unbelievable. Right. So that would be one of my favorites.

Love it. And is there anywhere where you haven't been for you'd love to do a set or perform?

You know what? Yeah, there's a couple of places. Hawaii, for some reason I haven't been there.

You've not been to Hawaii. You've not been there at all?

No.

What's going on? I've been like to places I, you know, I never heard of previously. I've never been to Hawaii. I really want to.

Make us out Hawaii, give Havana a call. Make a booking. Come on, what are you thinking? She's huge right now. When you're on tour, three things that you can't do without. You can't be without. You couldn't live without.

Oh, my laptop. Okay. Oh, it's all work related. It's really boring. So.

Well, that's all right. We can see your boring side as well. We don't expect you to be jumping up and down.

Laptop, headphones, SD cards and my dog.

My dog. You left your dog.

No, I haven't left my dog. No.

You've got your laptop, your SD card and your headphones and your poor little dog's at home dying of starvation.

See, Georgie, you don't know how lucky you are with me. I look after you. I look after you.

The single. Yes. That's coming out everywhere in the world December 17th.

Yes. Which is exciting.

Warrior. Warrior. You are a warrior. When will the actual full record, when can we get the album?

Well, the album will be out early next year. Okay. So um and possibly an EP before that.
