I'm good, how are you? I'm also good Thank you for having me here Thank you so much for also making time To join us today So like I said before You were a member of Samawati Band So what happened to Samawati Band? I still are What happened? It's not that we split Samawati Band is still there We sing in hotels Yes Like today we have a wedding everything party We are ready booked We are ready booked for today We are still doing so many weddings And on those days We usually observe a standing hotel So we are still doing it as a band It's not like an individual It's not like a recording So you are not recording any music right now We are not recording live music We are not doing live music We are focusing more on that But that's because We have different opinions When it comes to that What different opinions are you talking about? I'll just say From where it started Came all the itima Oh yeah Went and recorded the itima And then From there we were not able To do any other song together Because he got so busy In the times that we thought we could Do a song He was already In other engagements Doing his projects Of course he's done so many other artists Because he's been mistiga He's been with Kono So it's like he He got very busy He ventured into his own solo career So even for live band He's usually not there It's tricky Samawati Band is like a family thing It's actually really a family It's actually really me Others are facts We started Myself When my husband Eric And came all the itima We was actually my brother Though people don't believe that I also don't think I don't know why people say we are different Do you know baby Came all the itima is not a crazy guy as he seems But he has to do that For whatever For the kind of music he's doing He's a worshipper He's a worshipper I see that fail I see that like a worshipper He is He is He's a very serious guy Compare to me So I'd like to know Once you said that He got a little busy So what happened to You and your husband In terms of your musical careers We started Samawati Band Is a live band So we were focusing more On doing it live Than recording And so for us It was still Just continuing You didn't feel like this There was a gap After he left There was a gap actually Because he was playing drums And we had done a lot of practice together We had synchronized our voices He was singing tena Was singing alto As if you already know the voice That you're taking All of a sudden So we have to look for another drama Who doesn't know how to sing There are very few dramas Who sing Getting another drama Was quite a challenge for us But we hacked So that is the reason You decided to go into To dig deeper into your solo career I've always felt That I can do my solo project Before we met With my husband Eric and Kimo I had released some few songs Only that they were not They were not released but I had recorded I had recorded some few songs Kimo had recorded his own songs Eric had his own songs So each one of us has Tried the mainstream music But when we met Our main objective Was actually to do live band Not necessarily So singing and recording And releasing music and getting on media Was just a by the way So it's still a by the way right now Right now it's not even on the way at all But you're recording a new song Like I'm saying as a band It's not something that we're doing anymore Now we're talking about you personally I've decided to take that line And I'm hoping that I'll do So many more songs So this one that I've come to launch today Is my first So how is that so far? Not easy as I thought Oh my god What do you mean it's not easy What have you encountered That is making you say that it's not easy I mean you release a song And you're getting Some positive vibe from the studio Or guys are saying it's a good song And it's going to go really far But really trying to get These guys to play your song Let me at least talk about it What do you guys want to hear?
