But who is Victoria? Hey. Who is Victoria? Who is Victoria? Tell us about your origins, like where you're from, what your family dynamic was like
0:30
So I actually was born in Philadelphia. So a lot of my family is from Philly
0:35
Most of my family is from Philly. So shout out Philly. Philly in the building. Okay
0:40
But I lived most of my life and I grew up and was raised in Atlanta
0:46
Okay. Yeah. So, you know, I got a little north side, a little south side in me
0:51
So yeah, growing up in Atlanta was great. I have a really big
0:55
supportive family so they've always like you know pushed me to follow my dreams
0:59
I know some people their parents are like no you have to be a lawyer
1:03
you have to be a doctor you have to do this and do that but my family was always very supportive
1:07
and wanted me to follow my dreams my mother sings my dad's mom
1:11
sang so I have a very musical family my dad loves music my dad
1:15
can't sing but you know what I'm saying he loved to sing

1:46
Yeah. So shout out to my family. Shout out to my mom. Shout out to my uncles, my whole family for that
1:52
I really appreciate that. It's beautiful to have a high level of support like that
1:56
It is. Especially for the entertainment industry. Like you said, oftentimes parents, they want a more predictable journey for their child
2:04
because they feel like that's what's going to lead to safety. Right. Right. And so for you to have a family that champions risk taking because they truly saw that God
2:14
given gift within you. Yeah. That's beautiful. It is. It is. Then shout out to your family

3:02
Dade County. My entire family's from Miami. When I was, I think when I was a little bit younger, we moved to Texas
3:08
So I lived in San Antonio. I kind of grew up there. And then in high school, we moved to Atlanta
3:13
And my mom really moved us to Atlanta to try to help me pursue my dream
3:17
So your mother moved, uprooted, so you could pursue your dream. Yes
3:21
You have siblings? Yes, I have. I'm the youngest of five. Okay. Wow. I'm the youngest
3:26
I have two sisters and I have three brothers. And I've been singing my entire life
3:31
I grew up singing in church, actually. So I did like my first little solo in church when I was like two years old
3:37
And ever since then, my mom was like, yeah, this is going to be something. And she has done everything in her power to make sure that it has happened
3:45
So sitting here is like a dream come true. I know she's listening
3:49
Hey, mom. Say, what's your mom's name? My mom's name is Odessa

4:09
You got the pictures. Yes. What'd you sing? Who could imagine? At two
4:14
Yes. Come on, y'all. It's different. What? Thank you. I'm so serious
4:23
All right, Jada, okay. All right. All right. We got it. She said her voice is powerful
4:30
I need you there. I got it, Jada. Okay. We'll get there
4:34
We'll get there. At two. Okay. Anaya, how about yourself? Okay. That's a great name, by the way
4:40
Thank you. Absolutely. I think it means God's gift or something. Okay, you should learn that
4:45
Yeah. All right. so um i was born in bridgeport connecticut okay yeah i grew up in bridgeport um for a little bit
4:55
then transferred over to norwalk connecticut grew up there for a little bit and um at the age of 12
5:01
moved to atlanta grew up in atlanta went to high school middle school there high school there too
5:07
so y'all around the same age so you you saw the rise of atlanta in recent times with the with the
5:14
hip-hop scene, the music scene, the whole nine. What was that like for you at that time
5:18
Did it just make you eager and anxious that you know you saw Thugger everybody is coming up Everybody was winning Right What was that like at that time in Atlanta It was amazing I a music lover so I love love love music And I love the music that coming out of Atlanta
5:34
Yeah. So, yeah, it feels really good to be in Atlanta because Atlanta is
5:38
they call it like the black Hollywood. Yeah, yeah. So it's really good as a..
5:42
I know y'all don't do a lot of these, so here, look. When you talk, grab the mic and put that up
5:47
I got you, I got you, I got you. Okay, there you go. Okay, hello, hello. Okay, go. So, yeah, it just feels really good to be in Atlanta
5:52
Like I said, they call it the black Hollywood. So it's just a bunch of black artists and black people really rising up and doing their thing
5:59
And it's amazing to see. And we're happy to be a part of it. Did you grow up loving candy and falling escape
6:05
Of course. For sure. Okay. Legendary. But what was it that you did
6:10
It was that one time it was something y'all didn't like about it. What was it you didn't like about candy
6:14
About me? What? Wow. Don't fall for the train. I'm joking. I'm getting you prepared
6:21
I'm just getting you prepared. All right. Don't answer that question. You all are solo artists though, right? Right
6:28
Primarily. Yes. That's kind of a hard pill to swallow when you're being, you know, put into a group, right
6:36
And, you know, you don't know if you was going to like Jada. I heard Invogue was solo artists that were put in the group, just saying
6:44
That was true. That's true. That's true. I was there. Foster and McElroy. You know I'm from Oakland
6:49
I was there. Okay. Yeah, I go deep, guys. I go deep
6:53
So how did that go? Like you had to kind of make a mental note that I want to make sure I get along with Victoria
7:00
and I want to make sure I get along with Jada. Did y'all have your own separate meetings and talk about your goals and, you know
7:06
and your commitment to the group? Yeah. Definitely. Yeah, definitely. I think it's just about, like, respecting one another and giving each other respect
7:14
and listening to one another and focusing on the main goal. You know, the main goal is to be one of the hottest girl groups ever, period
7:22
So you just got to keep that in mind. You can't let all of the BS and all of the, you know
7:26
outside things and outside people get in. You got to stay tight, stay true to each other, and stay true to yourself. Yeah
7:31
Yeah, I could be posting like old text messages and stuff like that, right
7:36
No! We're not doing that over here. Yeah, I could be, you know, I remember when Jada once told me
7:43
she stole out of a liquor store or something. That's crazy. No, no, no, no. I'm just saying, Kandi, you know what I'm saying, Kandi
7:50
what happens with groups. No, I mean, obviously I was in a group, and we always be having our drama
7:55
but I told him right off rip, I was like, hey, okay, this is the thing
8:01
Y'all going to be a group, and I know y'all are with solo artists first. You have to dedicate and say
8:05
we're going to at least do this many albums together before we even talk about doing solo projects. Okay
8:11
Because I think people go into it and they're in a group
8:15
and they don't know how to say to each other they want to do separate things
8:19
But if you go into it knowing, okay, everybody at one point may want to do separate things
8:24
but we're going to stick together at least for this many albums before that even come up
8:30
That's smart. And then you have to support each other when the people decide to do their own thing
8:35
Give Kandi a deal. I love that. I love that. What Kenny was saying is so true
8:41
I was thinking about that. When you think about some of the most successful groups, either boy or girl groups
8:46
you can tell when some members jumped out too soon and they have nowhere to go
8:50
And you can tell the one that was ready and then now they're having success. And so timing is everything
8:56
But I think if you can get a good foundation, build a good fan base, and you guys seem to be supporting each other
9:01
and encouraging each other, and you guys are all standalone artists, if you know we can commit as a group
9:06
then you know when the time is right to launch your own solo careers but i've seen so many people
9:09
have left too early um or so struggling trying to find their place uh as a solo artist so i think
9:15
what candy said was absolutely brilliant yeah yeah man so many came to mind just it's power
9:19
in the in the numbers though like them as a group it's like wow you know what i mean i feel like
9:25
when people you know it's only gonna be so so many solo artists to make it yeah right so when
9:31
We come together and combine as a group. It's like a superpower. And that's why I feel like they got a superpower right now
9:37
I like this. The group is called Siren. That's P-S-I-R-Y-N. I want to hear them sing
9:43
Me too. Wait, hold on. Let me ask my nephew, Elijah. Can we play this song one more time
9:48
Can we play this song one more time? What do you think? Yeah
9:54
He said he want to hear them live. You want to hear them sing live? You want to hear them sing live
9:59
Okay. You know, he's from the Netherlands. No means yes. We're going to play the song one more time
10:06
