• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce into
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: the show suba suba, how.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Yay, very, I'm good are you?
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: I'm doing well. I can't believe we haven't done this yet.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: I know, I know.
• 27:10
  Speaker 14: I'm glad you asked me.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Well we're here. I'm really really happy that you made
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: it to the show. Listen, you come across like an
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: artist to me that has been skating the line. As
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: I say, culturally, you are adept in both sides of
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: the industry, as I like to say. You've made an
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: impression on the Indian South Asian side, and then you're
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: so active out here in the US as well. You know,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: I have a question for you. Is there such a
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: thing as no Man's Land? You know, there's a comedian
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: by the name of as If Manvi and He described
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: what we do sometimes as being in this world where
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: we're not Indian enough for India and we're not American
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: enough for America, and so we find ourselves in this
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: really weird isolated place. Do you not to be the
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: case for musicians as well?
• 28:05
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I mean absolutely, that's like one hundred percent.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: My identity and life crisis is kind of like one
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: figuring out where I fit in and two kind of
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: just making my own lane because I can't figure that out.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and how does how do you navigate that? How
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: do you figure that out? Is it by putting out
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: the music that you put out and the content that
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: you put out, or to me, you come across like, hey,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to be me. I'm going to put
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: it out, and then the people that gravitate towards it,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: be it from whatever background that they are, they come
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: to it.
• 28:45
  Speaker 14: That's kind of what I've come to.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I was thinking about it today because I
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: think for some time I was like, oh, I need
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: to become like this token Indian person, and then I think,
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: like trying to force yourself into a space isn't the key.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: It's just authentically doing the parts that sit right with you,
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: and at the end of the day, I don't know
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: exactly what song is going to resonate with which audience,
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: and it's better for me to just put things out authentically.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: And I think I just categorized myself as like a
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: global girl, like I feel like I want to belong
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: to everyone. Yeah, and maybe that's not like nation enough
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: for now, but I mean it's just I think for me,
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: it's better than trying to squeeze into something and then
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: being like, wait, am.
• 29:38
  Speaker 14: I is this okay for me to try to do this?
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Listen, you have collaborated with the mozart of madras On
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: down with all kinds of different artists out there. You know,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: I'm a big sports fan. There's a difference between watching
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: a superstar on the field or on the court or
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: whatever it might be. And let's just say an artist
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: that's not quite that, or an athlete that's not quite that.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: You know, when you when you're in a room with
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: somebody like an arm on, just how special is it
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: to be in that room with him? And and and
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: also most importantly, you know, I feel like we're watching
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: a once in a lifetime talent. There is there a
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: way for you to articulate what he means to you
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: and also what you can maybe put into perspective as
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: to who he means and what he means to the
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: actual music industry and the music world out there.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: I think I think you are absolutely right in that
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: it's what what a pleasure and a treat to be
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: alive during the same time as Adam, Yeah, let alone
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: like show him. Even as I say the words, I
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: don't really believe it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 14: It's kind of always like a pinch me moment.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: They were celebrating, you know, the anniversary of Lagan, and
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: it's just the way that that song is, like the
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: whole soundtrack is etched in my like my bones and
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: just shaped everything I knew about music as a child.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: But he the beautiful thing about him is he's such
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: a meditated person, and just by watching the lee he
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: deals with people, he talks to people.
• 31:22
  Speaker 14: He treats everyone.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: With like asserting himself, but then also a lot of
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: grace and understanding. I've just I've learned a lot about
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: what kind of artists I want to be if I
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: were ever to you know, even get like a quarter
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: or a fraction of you know, the success and platform
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: that he has how I want to uplift other people
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: and keep evolving. And he's even you know, as beautiful
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: as the music is, his soul is even more beautiful.
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: He's so kind and he death has such an aura.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: He's so funny and lighthearted. And yeah, just what an
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: amazing person.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Uh you recently saying lowerdies for him? What a great
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: upbeat track? You know you you grew up a world
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: away from him. What was that call? Like, what was
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: that first kind of connection from aar Rahiman?
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: Like for you?
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: What was that moment like for you when he reached
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: out or whatever the connection was made there? You're like,
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: oh my god, ar monster.
• 32:33
  Speaker 14: Oh it was crazy. It was I don't like I remember.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: The whole story, and I need to talk about this
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: morning because I always forget that. It's like actually kind
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: of a big deal.
• 32:47
  Speaker 14: Yeah, but you know, it was during a time where.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: I posted at Shakira ordering pizza impression video of mind
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: I went viral on TikTok, I posted on Instagram and
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: I see an email from like something that had like
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: everyone's name in it, and I'm like, this is definitely fake.
• 33:04
  Speaker 14: So I deleted it, and I even deleted it from
• 33:08
  Speaker 14: my trash. Like I just, I was like, oh, this
• 33:11
  Speaker 14: is major spam.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: It can't be And luckily I checked my Instagram and
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: sure enough he dms me there oh and it was like.
• 33:23
  Speaker 14: And then we got on a zoom call and I
• 33:25
  Speaker 14: still didn't believe it was real. I think at that
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: point I was still like, this isn't real, This isn't real.
• 33:29
  Speaker 14: This is real.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: And like my sister, I think, took a video.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Of me just.
• 33:34
  Speaker 14: Just in disbelief. It was crazy. I mean, yeah, I
• 33:40
  Speaker 14: just I can't all it was amazing.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: And then even when I met him in Dubai and
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: we recorded Robberty, I still didn't believe it, Like I just,
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I just did not believe it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Sue. You know, this week on our show, we've been
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: turning the attention to the independent artist, and one of
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: the things that I wanted to ask you, being someone
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: that has really navigated this industry as an independent artist,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: You've achieved so much, but largely you know, rowing the
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: boat clearly by yourself, without that big, you know, big
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: major label thing that a lot of artists, you know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: think that it requires to be successful out there, you know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: tell us about that journey, tell us about you know
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: what it's like to navigate that, and you know, there's
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: a second part to this question, which I know you
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: know is also part of your identity is you know,
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: of course you're a singer, but you're an influencer. And
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: then my, my, my other question to you is part
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: of this is that you know, do you feel that
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: the term influencer takes away from the artist part of this?
• 34:49
  Speaker 14: Hm, Well, I guess.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: It's very interesting right now because I keep seeing giant
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: artists like Phoebe Rex and even Fallasia and a lot
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: of artists I followed three.
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: Years now and even Kalanie, like all these artists they're.
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: Like, oh, I'm independent, I'm independent, and just talking about
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: how challenging it was to navigate these label relationships and
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: how they're quote unquote free right, And it's just so
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: crazy to me because when you're little and you're just
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: a little girl or boy and you're dreaming about this
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: whole like La signing a deal, you romanticize it and
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: then when you get there you realize that it can
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: with the wrong team, it can be a really horrifying process.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: And for me, I'm just I'm already used to being
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: indie and I am kind of a control freak with
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: my career just because with pandemic, I you know, I
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: just I gained a lot of skills and I do
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: consider myself like an intelligent person and very smart and
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: hands on. And I have a great team of friends
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: and just a lot out of kind people along the way,
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: like yourself, honestly, who have who have helped me.
• 36:05
  Speaker 14: And talked me through things that I'm just used to it.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: I'm just used to this whole thing. But I'm glad
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: that it's becoming more normal.
• 36:14
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and I'm not I'm not alone, you know.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: I'm glad that, like we always say, the grass is greener,
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: but the grass feels pretty green here. I will say,
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: in order to achieve my specific dreams, you know, stadium tours,
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: I'm not opposed to having support, like I'm going to
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: need it. I'm going to need it, and you can't
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: do that without a major label to be a stadium artist.
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: But it's it matters who's on the other side.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: But it's cool to have so many resources right now
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: to grow as an independent artist.
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: And then I think the second thing you asked me
• 36:53
  Speaker 14: was in part, you know.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: To me, to me, you are I always refer to
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: you as being so progressive in your approach because you
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: got it early, which is making yourself present and putting
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: yourself out there as an individual was more important than
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: just having to be boxed in by the own your
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: own identity of being whoever you think you are as
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: a singer, and by doing that limiting your engagement out there,
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: you know when you But but then again, sometimes I
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: feel that in the industry, you know, when whenever you
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: say that you're an influencer and you're an artist or
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: a singer, people look at the influencer part still in
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: this way like Okay, well does that mean that you're
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: not a serious singer, Whereas I feel it to be
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: opposite for you, I feel like it's it's a means
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: for you to put yourself out there and you know,
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: tell us about that.
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: I think I don't really relate to the phrase influencer.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: I think I'm more of a content creator, Yeah, is
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: what I was during the pandemic, because like, yeah, like
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: created trends. Whereas like if I were an influencer, I
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: think that would have.
• 38:04
  Speaker 14: Been like, hey, guys, this is the bag I'm wearing.
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: This is like that, and there's nothing wrong with that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 14: It actually takes it takes a lot of effort to
• 38:15
  Speaker 14: get dull that like I could not.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: So that's why I think I'm more of a creator.
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: So I've actually never like even considered myself as an influencer.
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: But I guess in a way, like you know.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: Artists are influencers, right, because we wear certain products a
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: certain way, we live our lives a certain way. We
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: from the way we you know, hold our coffee cup
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: to what kind what are we drinking? Macha are we
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: drinking coffee? We are subliminally, you know, influencing people.
• 38:45
  Speaker 14: Probably with every post I make. Who knows what I'm
• 38:50
  Speaker 14: what I'm.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: Influencing someone to think. But I guess I'm just not
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: an influencer in like probably the stereotypical way. I just
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: I just have no like I don't know about factor.
• 39:01
  Speaker 14: I have no clue. I lived the life.
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: It's been fun, Like it was really fun to like
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: do that. But I think I've always been like artists
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: first and then content creator. But yeah, I mean I
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: think it's a tricky balance. I deal with that balance
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: every day, but I'm learning to lean into to both
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: because I think the world is changing, like it's not
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: like the eighties, where the only time you saw the
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: artist was in what was published about them, and that
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: was someone else's words. Now it's like, you know, you
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: control the narrative a bit more, and you can literally
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: create a cult following just by saying stuff music aside,
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: Like music has just become like.
• 39:50
  Speaker 14: In addition to it, but it's mostly who you are.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: And I guess that works out for me because I
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: think I'm great and I think I have a.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Lot of and you have a huge following as well, right,
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: and that's that's evidence enough.
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, of course you know that was built by just
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: my sense of humor and showing that. But I'm constantly
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: struggling every day in every post to be like how
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: much of me do I want to show? And then
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: how much of the music do I show?
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: So you know interesting, I wanted to ask you about
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: your brand new single if I were there, and in
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: one more question. All right, So my next question is
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a lighthearted thing. You heard me
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: react by laughing when you pulled out this kind of
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: voice when you say, well, I'm going to be an influencer,
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: and but my reaction to that was more so towards
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: I think you have just a phenomenal vocal ability of
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: emulating some of the most kind of renowned personalities in
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: our in our in our culture. And I've seen you,
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: you know, imitate or however you want to call it,
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: people like Rihanna, Eminem and so on. So tell us
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: about that. And it's a talent. I cannot underline how
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: difficult it is to do. But you get the intonation down,
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: you get their cadence down. It's a tell us about this.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: How did you pick this up?
• 41:17
  Speaker 14: I think, if you want to get real deep, I
• 41:21
  Speaker 14: just I don't know. It's just been able to do.
• 41:24
  Speaker 14: And then I started doing it as a party trick.
• 41:26
  Speaker 14: It's how I learned.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: I just I think, like honestly, I just have to say,
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: like it is just natural, splash whatever, God give it,
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: like I didn't.
• 41:34
  Speaker 14: There's no special training. I just can do it.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: My vocal cords whatever. There's some pretty physiology to explain
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: why I'm able to manipulate them. But also I just
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: like doing it, and it was my party trick, and
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: my mom always encouraged me to learn how to sing
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: like the person.
• 41:53
  Speaker 14: And then I just would do it and it would
• 41:55
  Speaker 14: make people laugh.
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: It would make people happy, it would impress people, and
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: you know, I had no clue that, like years later,
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: I would be doing that on like for millions of
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: people viewing and continuing, and like, you know, I I
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: own that part of myself completely. And it's what a
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: what an amazing thing to have such a stylistic voice
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: that someone wants to imitate it, you know.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, it's so cool how you do that.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: So let's get into the single. Tell us about it
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: if I were there. Interesting title a first glance, seems
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: very personal. Tell us about the lyrics, and tell us
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: about the song and how it all came about, the producers,
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: the writers, all that.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, during the pandemic, I was living with my family,
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: my parents, and I moved back in with my parents
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: with children's immigant who understand what that feels, Like, I
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: think we all kind of moved back in and you know,
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: I literally had not had a romantic partner of any.
• 43:07
  Speaker 14: Sort for a while. Like I was just a little
• 43:09
  Speaker 14: kid on my phone kind of making videos all day
• 43:12
  Speaker 14: like I'm i O viral and I don't know I
• 43:16
  Speaker 14: made I just thought this was very normal and it
• 43:19
  Speaker 14: was really weird. But I was in Arizona.
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: I had no friends, and I was kind of famous,
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: like I was getting recognized. So I was like, I'm
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: going to make a dating profile, but I'm not going
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: to like use my actual identity and I'll just tell
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: the person later. So I made up a whole fake
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: dating profile. I said I went to like U of
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: A or ASU, and I kept getting them mixed up,
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: which worked against me because that person could tell I
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: said I was a marketing major, but there wasn't even
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: a marketing major ass the school. So the person I
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: was sketched out and I finally you know, revealed to
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: him my.
• 43:53
  Speaker 14: Identity and we started dating.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: And well we weren't really dating, like we were seing
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: each other, but then he he just we didn't want
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: to acknowledge. It was so childless, where we're like, no,
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: we're not a boy for girlfriend, you know, like it
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: it's casual, it's casual. And we both were in such denial.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: But then obviously we ended up dating because we just
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: had the strong feelings and I had to like you know,
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: hide the relationship completely from my parents, like they had
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: they had no clue, like I would just be like
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: I got my friends in Phoenix and I did have
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: friends in Phoenix, but he was also one of the friends.
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: But my goodness, yeah, it was like basically fake identity
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: led to a whole full.
• 44:37
  Speaker 14: Blown relationship off of hinge wow. So and it was long.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: Distance because we lived hours apart, so I would just
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: be living my parents and facetiming him at night and
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: being like.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: I miss you. And is the is the title of
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: reference to that long distance relationship?
• 44:53
  Speaker 14: Yes, mm hmm.
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: It's kind of both like if I were there, as
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: in like if we could bridge that gap and like
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: just say what we are and then just like be
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: grown up and be like Okay, I like do you
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: like me?
• 45:06
  Speaker 14: Can we date? Because that's a very like new age
• 45:10
  Speaker 14: thing now. I don't know what this generation is just
• 45:13
  Speaker 14: so like scared of commitment.
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone's so scared of commitment that we're just like, okay,
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: well I'm not going to fully say that I want this,
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: but I do. And then the other part of it
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: if I were there is like literally if I was
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: physically with you.
• 45:29
  Speaker 14: So it's id twofold.

• 52:45
  Speaker 4: I want to give a big shout out to Shuba today.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you what you guys heard about Shuba today.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: Shubas figured out the cheek code. Well. Everybody else was
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: waiting to be discovered, waiting for the label, waiting for
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: the gate keeper, waiting for permission. She picked up the
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: tools that were already in her hands and she got
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: herself in front of the audience. No middleman, no machine,
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: just an artist and the people who needed to hear her.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: And she did it so well that Al Rahiman noticed.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: Think about that, one of the greatest composers alive maybe ever,
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: looked up from across an ocean and saw exactly what
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: I saw. A vocal genius, someone who understands her own
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: voice so completely that she can sit down beside it
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: and usher it into an uncanny imitation of some of
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: the biggest artists on the planet and then walk right
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: back into being nobody but herself. Don't let that aw
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: shucks fool you about Shuba. That ease that lightness, that's
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: not an accident, that's mastery wearing a smile, because here's
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: what Shiba understands. That the whole industry forgot. Personality is
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: what connects people, not soulless music, not unimaginative product built
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: by committee people. She sings the songs of her own life,
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: her love stories, her own truths, and she's built the
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: space for those truths to thrive. Call her a singer,
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: call her a content creator, call her whatever you want.
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: What I see as an artist running down the street
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: with the blueprint to the future in her hands, because
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: the future is this. The artist is the story now
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: and the song is just a product of the character
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: you're watching. And what makes Shuba special. The thing you
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: can't fake, the thing you always feel when it's missing,
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: is that she is authentic. You can always tell when
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: someone isn't. That's Shubah's that's the future. You heard it
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: here on the bridge. I'll be back to close out
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: the show after this song. This song is called tell
