I did my first trip to the States when I was like, it was like over the holidays, December, January 2009 to 10.

Yeah.

And I remember I turned 13 in the office of like Atlantic Records in Times Square.

Dude, what?

At Warner.

And then I went back to school.

Like that was like when they discovered me on YouTube and I went over to take meetings and cut demos and stuff.

And then I went back to school for like six months, didn't hear anything for a while.

And then they basically present this deal and were like, you need to move to the US if you're going to sign this.

And I looked at my parents like,

You know, I'm going, whether you guys are coming.

But no, they were like, they were so, at first I think apprehensive when I got the messages.

Like my mom thought it was like a ped files and stuff like that.

I'm like this 12-year-old little kid.

Come to my office, boy.

Yeah, no, yeah.

You got potential, kid.

So she like, she didn't, we didn't respond for like weeks and I just kept going, oh, we should, you know.

And it turned out to be legit.

And then, God, within, you know, within a year, I've recorded this song and they've put Flo Rida on it and it's out and we've shot a video, you know.
