Yeah, it's funny because I feel like it's like, yes, but also I feel like working with Jason Robert Brown at the age of 13 was my preparation for that.

I was like, oh my goodness, the only reason I can keep up with this tour where I'm singing all of these songs live for two and a half hours every night or however long it is or whatever it is, that it's very demanding and then traveling on a dry bus or in a dry plane or whatever it is and the only reason I can keep up with that I credit to being on Broadway. So it goes back and forth kind of.

It's like just this stamina that I am so grateful that I got to build at a young age because, you know, Jason gave me the hard, like I couldn't, I love Jason Robert Brown because he is like, can you do that? And it's like, I don't know. And he's like, you got it. And it's just like, okay, great, I'll figure it out.

Yeah, it's like a second longer of a note than you think you can hold or a higher note, one note higher than you think you can sing. And he's like, perfect, you take that harmony. And I think that trained me to be able to do the singing that I was doing and then it went back and forth, I suppose.

No, I know what you mean.

Well, you know, it felt really wonderful to kind of have a little surprise. And so it was really special for me.

Well, I think it just kind of, I followed it in a way. Because, you know, the whole time I was a cat on Nickelodeon, I was also writing like pop R&B music on the side. I would go from set to the studio and I would be like making these songs that I was probably too young to put out yet. And, you know, it was just a funny, interesting thing. And I remember there was a blurry time when

Nickelodeon kind of wanted the music that I was writing to potentially be for the show. So there was a moment where I actually put out a song with a red hair and it was very kind of in the Cat Valentine mindset because I didn't know if I was supposed to be myself yet or not.

And then someone that I was very close to that was very supportive and a really, really, really loving, wonderful person in my life was like, hey, they're going to love you as you, with brown hair, singing R&B-inspired pop, and just fucking wing it and put that out. And I did, and it was really cool. It was cool to see the people not...

It's definitely been a fun experience, and I definitely love creating in all capacities and storytelling in any capacity. I really do love my fragrance and my beauty brand and that stuff. It's really fun, and I think it's a totally different part of my brain. My mom is a CEO, and she's very much a business person.

And my dad is an artist, so I think I kind of sit— exactly in between the two of them. And these two parts of me are very hungry in very different ways. And I enjoy it. I enjoy creating. But I think, obviously, my loves of my life are acting and music. It's not even a comparison. I feel grateful for every area in which I can be a creative person who makes stuff. But it's not necessarily the same.
