just say, be yourself and try not to worry too much about what other people think. Don't try to be like somebody else who is hot right now because I can tell you, if I wrote a song based on what I thought was popular on the radio, I wouldn't have any of the songs that I have right now. You don't know who is going to like your stuff. There is something for everyone out there. You've got to kind of like, put yourself out there and your tribe will find you. People that like you, will find you. There's always going to be people who don't like you but, the ones that like you, that's who you pay attention to. I would say that too. Don't worry so much about haters and stuff like that. Even myself, I noticed like, given too much air time to haters and when you do that you're ignoring the people that actually support you. If you pay more attention to the people that support you, you will probably find that you have more supporters then you do haters.
Anzzia: That is very true.
Cha Cha: You know what else I would say? Take time every day to meditate or even say pray. Because not everyone believes in God. I'm more of a spiritual person myself. I believe in God but, I'm also spiritual. I believe in my ancestors, I believe nature has a spirit, I believe in energy and I would say to take time every day to just meditate on the things that you're grateful for. I'm not where I want to be right now but, I'm not doing badly. I have a roof over my head. I have a car to get me where I need to go to get to my auditions. I make enough money where I can have my gym membership and I can go to the grocery store and buy this food. I can take a shower whenever I want to. Things are not bad. So, I think the more time you spend being grateful for what you do have, you'll just overall feel better and you won't feel so bad about the many, many, many, many, many "No's" your going to get doing entertainment. Because you're going to get a lot of "No's". /laughs
Anzzia: Tell me about it, very true. It's been awesome getting to know you.
Cha Cha: Thank you, and your welcome and thank you very much for taking the time to get to know a little bit more about what I am trying to do. Because even that in and of itself is very
validating. That, you know, I'm spending a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of resources, a lot of energy into just trying to express myself and I'm happy if it even reaches one person. It's just very flattering is what I'm trying to say.
It's very flattering you know, because nobody has to like anything that you do so, I'm always very appreciative when anybody tells me that they do like what I do.
Anzzia: Yes, well you're doing an awesome job. Please don't let anyone deter you or derail you off of this path because I think that you're going to do amazing things.
