(soft rousing music)
- I honestly just try to get to every person
that I can, no matter like what language they speak
when someone reaches to me and tell me
that they don't even understand anything Spanish
but they love my music like that
Honestly, for me, it's like, I've succeeded.
(upbeat music)
I'm Paloma Mami and this is on the rise.
(upbeat music)
Me going to Chile is really what made me, who I am today.
It made my whole entire career moving
to Chile because I don't know
I feel like in the moment that I moved
I kind of had an epiphany, if you will.
It was the moment where I kind of just like
did not care about anything
and I was like, you know what, why not try this?
You know, kind of took that like leap of faith.
Honestly, my family didn't really even
get the chance to be like, no, like you can't do this
as a grade just because it happened so quickly
and the fact that I like in the beginning,
I didn't even tell them what I was doing
and I was still, I was like just finishing school.
So it's like, they couldn't tell me what I was
what to do in my free time.
So then I was like, thinking about college or whatever
but yeah, no, in my head, I was just thinking about singing.
(soft music)
When I first considered myself a professional artist
was when I go to the airport.
in the airport and stuff,
when they ask, when they ask you like, Oh, like
what do you do?
I guess I was one
of the first times where I was like, Oh, like I'm an artist.
And I really, you know
noticed that I was, I was like, wait, that's my job.
That's my real job,
I'm not a student I'm artist.
(gentle music)
Working with that setting was
honestly just a super, super magical process.
It was the first time I ever been in a studio
I met a producer in Chile and I was like, wow, like
this is a sign that I should actually try doing this.
So I wrote to him, I was like, Hey, like
can I come to see what a studio looks like?
I've never been in one.
He told me yell, like come through to the studio, like
so you can see what it's like, like I might be working,
and I went and literally, like, he showed me some beats.
He's like, Oh, like
do you want to hear some stuff that I have?
Like, and then literally just
out of nowhere, not studying chemo
like the chorus came to my head, the first thing
and like, then we started writing and yeah
the rest was just super it flew so naturally.
And I was like, I was so happy
Cause it was like, wow
like this is my first time the studio we're doing this
like, wow!
And I loved how the song came out
Like honestly, it was just a
it was a feeling of like, just like, you know
just magical something, something really good was happening.
(gentle music)
My collabo with Major Lazer came about.
I was in LA and diplo wrote to me
Saying if I want it to work
and then we literally just went over to his studio.
Yeah, it just came about that, that same night
and I kind of did like a rough demo of it
and then I went back to Miami and I like wrote it.
This song I reroll like seven different times
Like I have seven different versions of it.
With Duplo Like I know he can say
that he definitely had like some, a struggle
with me because whenever I'd be telling him how
I wanted to be, like, I'd be super, super precise with it.
beause it's like a Spanish, you know
it's a Latino type of vibe.
So I feel like I was trying to give him like super
like super detailed like instruments and everything
and he probably was so annoyed, but you know
it turned out to what it was and I love it.
(soft music)
The biggest highs for me is always a performing.
It's a high off of energy because everybody's so happy
and then sometimes, you know
in some songs like you're sad and it's just
everybody feeling one emotion the whole time together.
I always have to stop myself from crying,
like I don't even know why, but I have to be like, Oh
I have to stop being emotional.
Like, but it's, it's honestly beautiful.
It's the best thing.
(soft music)
I don't know what
it is like to, to make it I don't know
I can't tell you what that's like
like I can't imagine that
but I'm sure after, after releasing my album
I kind of have a feeling what that's like.
I don't know
I feel like for me, just, just having
like a good repertoire of music is making it for me.
Like that's, that's what I started this for.
I have lots of people I would want to collaborate with
Pharrell and Timberland are definitely
like two producers that I would love to work with.
And musician wise Rihanna.
My God specialist.
I really always picks her
yeah I know it that'd be.
What does my life look
like in five years in my dream scenario, traveling
yeah, Being able to do concerts everywhere I can all
around the world.
That's my dream scenario in five years.
And most importantly being happy that's great.
(soft bright music).
