Cecee: Hi Aziatix. Nicky: Hi! Nice to Meet you.
Cecee: It's nice to meet you and actually see you again for the umpteenth time.
Cecee: I've been to every single concert, I was at your music video shoot..
Nicky: Oh, Thank you so much. Cecee: .. in March or February?
Nicky: -Yeah. Good Memory. Cecee: So it's really great to see you guys again
Nicky: Great to see you- Cecee: -and be on this side to interview you is amazing. So thank you!
Cecee: How do you guys feel? I know you've been asked this probably a thousand times, but we don't care.
Cecee: It never ceases to amaze us that you are with Cash Money. Like that...that still blows our minds!
Cecee: So how do you feel, even now, to this day? What's the feeling in you guys right now?
Nicky: It still blows our minds. It's just great to be a part of the family and yeah, it's an honor.
Nicky: We grew up listening to everything that they put out
Nicky: and just to be able to be a part of that legacy, it's absolutely amazing.
Nicky: We're having a blast every day.
Cecee: So now that you're with them (Cash Money), it was one thing when you guys were on your own with Jae Chong, producing your own music,
Cecee: But now that there are opportunities to collaborate, how has your process changed?
Eddie: Well, that's the thing. It's an amazing group of talent that Cash Money brings.
Eddie: But with us - they told us, you know, just do what you do.
Eddie: That was the main focus for us. They signed us because they liked what we had,
Eddie: and so we are just going to keep bringing what we've been bringing so far.
Eddie: And I think, hopefully, people will like what we do.
Cecee: Speaking of it, walk us through a day of composing and writing.
Cecee: How does it start? Where does it begin?
Cecee: How do you guys create the music that we love from Aziatix?
Flowsik: Well, everybody here are writers.
Flowsik: So you know we work on our own, we have our own ideas.
Flowsik: And then we put it on the table and everybody collaborates.
Flowsik: We're very grateful for that because we have a chance to show who we are.
Flowsik: That's what music is all about.
Flowsik: Having a chance to work with different composers as well, and producers, is definitely awesome too.
Flowsik: We have a chance to learn new things and have a chance to see how other people work.
Flowsik: It's a blessing to be able to learn new things everyday.
Cecee: So, can we talk about your new album yet?
Cecee: What's a lyric? Can we get a lyric? Can we get a song that's maybe been... playing in you guys-
Nicky: - I mean, we just release a song TODAY, along side Toyota.
Nicky: We're very grateful for the opportunity- Toyota Corolla, go check it out- it's called "Baby, Let's Go."
Nicky: And That's our first song. But I mean, we've got more songs in the works.
Nicky: We're working with amazing producers all the time.
Nicky: We're working with Red One as well, and we have an awesome track with him,
Nicky: and we're just in the studio every day, coming out with new stuff.
Nicky: So, in the meantime, please check out "Baby, Let's Go."
Nicky: We'll bring you more music in the future so, be on the look-out for that.
Cecee: And so, you guys are around each other 24/7.
Cecee: Are there any things, like quirks, or something interesting that you kind of notice about each other now that you've been together- what, 3 or 4 years now?
Flowsik: 3 years.
Nicky: Quirks? Eddie: Quirks?.... Nicky: Eddie.
Eddie: I don't know- I guess we sort of learned how to like.. not get in each others way, I guess.
Eddie: I mean, for instance flow likes fishing, so he'll just go fishing.
Eddie: I like...you know-
Nicky: Golfing. Basketball. Eddie: Yeah, I like basketball, so I just play basketball.
Eddie: And Nicky likes-- Nicky: I like the television-
Cecee: What are you watching? Nicky: -So don't get in my way.
Cecee: What are you watching on Television? Nicky: I just finished 'Breaking Bad".. and that was--
Cecee: It's so good. Nicky: Right!
Eddie: I haven't watched the finale yet. Nicky: Ok, so the finale goes like this..
Eddie: No, no, no, no.. Cecee: We can't do spoilers. Nicky: Ok, so we won't ruin it.
Eddie: And you haven't watched any of it. Flowsik: No, I haven't.
Nicky: Ok, so we're not going to say anything.
Cecee: Ok. but you should (watch it). It's really good.
Cecee: So, everyone has their role in the group. Who's the mood maker,
Who kind of sets the tone and says "Listen guys, we got to get serious. We got to get to business today!"
Nicky: Jae Chong
Flowsik: I mean, I think we are all very motivated and determined to make new material.
Flowsik: If anything, we are harder on ourselves.
Flowsik: We just trying to strive to be the best we can be.
Flowsik: AND we have producer Jae Chong over there behind us, saying: "HEY! Let's get to work!"
Flowsik: Nah, he's a really cool dude, and we're very grateful.
Cecee: So, what are some words or a motto that you live by each day? Let's go down the line.
Nicky: Something that I live by, or that I hope to do is hopefully- I can use our music to just spread joy, you know?
Nicky: And bring people- share love through our music.
Nicky: And hopefully when people hear our music, they get inspired, they get motivated, and they feel better through our music.
Nicky: That's what I Iive by and that's what I hope to do.
Flowsik: I think I've learned that, time is an investment.
Flowsik: So every second, every minute is and investment to-
Flowsik: -to get something out of your hard work. So I try not to take a single minute for granted.
Flowsik: but I watch some TV and stuff, that's cool too... but you know what I mean right?
Eddie: Well I learned- just to always stay ready.
Eddie: Like for instance, this Toyota thing. It was like- I mean, we had no idea that this was going to happen, but it was like- in the works!
Eddie: And all of a sudden- they flew us out to LA and in like, a week later we were shooting this. So-
Eddie: It was, all these things: good things, bad things, they always happen like this.
Eddie: So always just stay on your toes and stay ready.
Cecee: We're learning some good stuff today...
Cecee: So, any shout-outs or messages you want to give to the Aziatix fans out there? Anything you want to say?
Nicky: Just, thank you. We thank you for all your love, all the support,
Nicky: And it's gonna be a crazy year. We're always working on our music, so please -
Nicky: -enjoy the journey and we always appreciate you guys. So we thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts.
