MTV'S YOU HAD TO BE THERE : with mitchie alcantara - torres.
ALL ABOUT SHANE GRAY.
MITCHIE : dame besitos (give me kisses) is an album filled with songs that i wrote at my last summer of camp rock. it’s really just love letters to shane that represented our youth and who we were and still are. so mi amor, you better love this album or else the dogs and i are going to sinaloa for the weekend!
INTERVIEWER : there’s this big conspiracy theory about you and shane and these cowboy hats. how the connect 3 fans think he’s leaving the band to form a duet with you instead. it’s trending all over!
MITCHIE : pinche cabrón! no okay so let me explain! what happens is that this man goes into our - my closet - and steals my hats before his shows. i don’t even realize until videos are posted!
INTERVIEWER : does your family approve of your relationship with the connect 3 singer, shane gray considering what his past is like?
MITCHIE : my mami is probably our biggest supporter in the family. i’m the first granddaughter, niece, my parents only child. the first of my generation. it’s not a matter of whether they like him or not. my family is just protective over me regardless of who i date.
TOURING, REPRESENTATION AND THE SINGLES.
MITCHIE : this tour has been an absolute dream come true. i have worked my ass off to get to this point and like it’s showing not only in me, but my friends, family and fans.
MITCHIE : i mean, it's crazy that i'm going to these latin countries to perform my music pero i'm just a girl from inglewood, california. now i'm also considered representation. like when did that happen?
MITCHIE : i love the feedback i’ve gotten about everywhere and my happy ending. i was conflicted about releasing my happy ending because it’s a sad vault song but shane agreed it needed to be added.
ADDRESSING RUMORS AND THE DOCUFILM.
INTERVIEWER : tess tyler was spotted leaving your concert the other night in new york city. care to address the rivalry?
MITCHIE : my abuelita always said: “si no vas a decir nada bueno, mejor no digas nada.” ( if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all ) i’m kidding. well, she did say that but, no - tess is great. you just have to … dig deep with her. that’s all i’m gonna say.
INTERVIEWER : you have a new documentary coming out on hbo max about the making of your album, your childhood and your summers at camp rock.
MITCHIE : no yeah! from the wood, with kisses. it talks about everything close to me. to me, it’s the most vulnerable i have ever been with the public about who i really am. where i really come from.
INTERVIEWER : thank you for being on mtvnews. stay tuned to see an exclusive sneak peek from mitchie torres new album documentary, from the wood, with kisses.
