Have you been able to connect with Travis Scott?
FloyyMenor
I’ve met him in the flesh! It had reached 10 million streams on Spotify. It kept climbing like crazy. So with “Gata Only,” it was like “Wow, Chile is lit!” Hi I’m FloyyMenor and you’re watching Billboard News
Welcome to New York.
Yeah, yeah just like in the movies or videos people upload. It’s just like it.
Congrats on your musical success
Yes, exactly. I did a few shows in Chile. I haven’t done as many recently because I’m really focused on recording, doing things, doing interviews but with exclusive people you know?
Well, thanks for giving us this interview.
Exactly…and Billboard is a dream for me.
First of all, let’s talk about “El Comienzo”, your EP. How did your experiences influence your music in the last year while you were creating your EP?
I always say it’s like my first mini album, so it has to do with the beginning of my career. Do you understand? The album has seven songs as I was removing songs I didn’t want anymore. I was adding songs like “Peligrosa.”
