- Hi everyone.
I'm Stephanie Poetri and I'm here with "BuzzFeed"
to talk about my first times.
(upbeat music)
(giggles) I'm dreading this, honestly.
First celebrity you've ever met.
I guess it's my mom, I was in the delivery room
and I turned around and I was like,
"Oh, hey Mom, can I have a picture?"
No, but she's pretty big in Indonesia
that's why I'm a singer too.
Yeah, she inspired me.
But outside of Indonesia,
honestly, I've never met anyone
and I'm in New York right now,
so I don't know why I haven't seen anyone.
First concert you ever attended.
When I was a kid, my family, for some reason,
really liked Linkin Park.
So I was like six when I watched Linkin Park.
But, the one that I paid for
Twice.
They're so amazing, I love their dances.
I love my girl groups, you know.
But, I love boy groups to, you know I don't discriminate.
First song you sing at karaoke.
I go with the classic Bohemian Rhapsody
'cause you don't even have to sing it on key
and it's still pretty lit so.
That's just how it be sometimes.
First musical inspiration.
I grew up with a lot of rock bands.
And you look at me now and you can't tell
but it was probably My Chemical Romance.
I love MCR.
First time someone recognized you in public.
The first time I got recognized for my song,
"I Love You 3000", I was at the airport in New York
and someone, they came up to me up to me and was like,
"Hey, I love your song."
I was shook, you know.
I didn't think people outside of Indonesia knew
but they knew, so that made me really happy.
First cellphone.
I think everyone's first cellphone is Nokia
but I got the one that was sliding,
in the back my dad wrote name with a whiteout
so that was iconic.
And the whiteout would start to fall off,
so I had a bunch of remnants of whiteout on my phone,
that was not iconic.
First album you bought.
Okay, okay (snickers).
The first album I bought with my money, my own money
was a GOT7 album, I loved "Look", their come back "Look".
I just needed the album, so you know.
First app you check in the morning.
Probably Instagram, I talk with my friends through DM a lot.
We have a group where we just send memes.
I need my meme of the day, that's the first thing I need.
It's a laugh.
First celebrity crush.
Oh.
Oh no.
Sebastian Stan.
I saw him on "Once Upon A Time" when I was really young.
He was like The Mad Hatter and I was just like,
"Oh, who is this man."
Yeah, I was super into him.
When he came out as a character in Marvel,
I was like, "Oh, that's my man."
I love seeing people who I used to like
and then suddenly they're big again.
It was nice to watch.
First lyric you wrote on "I Love You 3000".
I wrote it through an Instagram story for fun.
I did like the chorus super quickly.
I didn't know what rhymed with "thousand"
so I went and searched that up
and I found "husband", so I was like okay,
"I want you to be my husband."
Yeah, I'm not good at rhyming so I need help.
Shout out RhymeZone.
First time you realized your song went viral.
Did it?
I don't know.
Thing is it grew really slowly.
It was very organic, it didn't just suddenly boom.
It was when I saw on Spotify,
it was number one Global Viral.
'Cause at first I thought it was just big in Indonesia,
but apparently not.
So I was really shocked by that.
That was when I thought, okay, this is real guys,
I'm not in a dream.
First time you performed for an audience.
I have funny story for this.
When I was probably like four,
my mom wanted me to sing with her for this family thing,
I was young, I was dumb.
I sang way too quickly and everyone laughed at me,
and yeah, that traumatized me for years.
It took like 10 years for me to just be okay on stage again.
But, I'm okay now, as you can tell.
So it's good, I don't hate you Mom, it's fine.
First thing you do when you wake up.
I wanna say drink water but, honestly,
it's probably check my phone
'cause I wanna see what time it is.
If it's early, then I probably do nothing.
But, if I realize it's late then I go crazy
and go to the bathroom and take a shower or not.
I use a lot of perfume, so you never know.
First time you played an instrument.
I learned how to play piano when I was really young,
by myself, I didn't even know what YouTube was back then
so I was just pressing keys.
Even until now, I play the piano like this,
like a Velociraptor but it's my style.
It's fine, I guess.
I can't do classic, I can't do the cool one,
so I'm just like tung tung.
First song you ever wrote.
I remember this super clearly, I was like nine.
I wrote a song about a castle and a princess.
And I had it in my lil' pink notebook.
Honestly, it was iconic, I should release it.
No, I'm kidding, it was so bad.
But, it was a good starting point
because now I'm here and I'm excited, so yeah.
This is the last one.
First thing I ate when I got to America.
Ah.
A New York pizza.
'Cause we were super hungry
and we heard New York pizzas were lit, so went and got that.
It was lit, I really liked it.
Thank you for having me, BuzzFeed.
It was really fun to answer questions about my first times.
Maybe after you watch this video
it would be your first time listening to my song,
"I Love You 3000", it came from my heart
to all of you.
Hope you guys enjoy and I'll see you next time.
