00:00:01.030 --> 00:00:03.530
<v ->Honestly, getting to meet my idols.</v>

2
00:00:03.530 --> 00:00:07.790
That's something I didn't know would happen so quickly.

3
00:00:07.790 --> 00:00:11.123 line:15% 
So I'm getting to meet Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell,

4
00:00:12.667 --> 00:00:16.140 line:15% 
ASAP Ferg, I'm getting to meet Meek

5
00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:18.320 line:15% 
and people I've looked up to.

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.020
Meeting Patty LeBelle, and, oh my God,

7
00:00:21.020 --> 00:00:22.650
the list can go on and on.

8
00:00:22.650 --> 00:00:24.600 line:15% 
But I've met some really great people

9
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.620 line:15% 
that I've always idolized since I was a little kid.

10
00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:30.180 line:15% 
Whether I grew up listening to their music

11
00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:34.643 line:15% 
to be working with some of these people now is kinda crazy.

12
00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:38.480
The hardest part is that you can get very tired.

13
00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:41.440
So I know touring took a lot out of me.

14
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:45.670
So I wasn't used to, man, you have to drive in a van

15
00:00:45.670 --> 00:00:48.550
with a bunch of people for 17 hours to get

16
00:00:48.550 --> 00:00:52.760
to your next location and you do the show,

17
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:54.580 line:15% 
and then you have to leave at five in the morning.

18
00:00:54.580 --> 00:00:56.980 line:15% 
You're only running off of three hours of sleep,

19
00:00:56.980 --> 00:00:58.770 line:15% 
but you gotta run and perform again.

20
00:00:58.770 --> 00:01:02.290 line:15% 
You know, there's a lot of traveling in what I do.

21
00:01:02.290 --> 00:01:05.240 line:15% 
I'm in Atlanta, I'm in L.A., I'm always somewhere

22
00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:08.020
next for the studio session or a networking event.

23
00:01:08.020 --> 00:01:12.800
So it can be very taxing mentally and physically.

24
00:01:14.610 --> 00:01:16.813
But it's worth it, it's worth it.
