Of the amazing producers and writers that I got to work with. Obviously, Kevin [Nish of Far East Movement, who also manages Young under the group’s Transparent Agency]. Still only the Asian-American act to have a [Hot 100] No. 1 record. I remember asking Kevin about continuing music. I was like, “Why do you think I should continue?” He was like, “Because I believe in change.” I was sold. I’m so lucky to have a team and a leader who gave me that answer versus, “Because it’s your life.” It’s not about us. It’s about everybody else and about the world, and the future for everybody else. Which led to Fernando Garibay, and Kris [Khristopher Riddick-Tynes] from The Rascals. John Yip from The Stereotypes is a very big part of this project. So I have all my brothers who are like, “We want you to win. We want change. We want to see an Asian-American. We want to see an Asian woman.”
