Evan and I came out of the hospital.
They will be out and I had like bandages all over my throat.
And my little brother goes, "man, I
tried to warn you the music business was cut throat."
Hey, world, it's me, Monique Heart.
You know me from my stunning looks,
and giving the ooh ah sensation.
Now, it's time to turn the tables
and give you a sneak peek into the closets of some
of music's biggest stars.
We're walking into their wardrobe,
and walking out with the story behind some
of their iconic looks.
It's the walk in honey.
We're coming from the land of palm trees and sun-kissed skin.
Los Angeles, California.
Today, we're talking with up and coming superstar, Jax.
Jax is a singer, songwriter, and a viral sensation.
Her viral TikToks led to her scoring a record deal.
Let's check out this '90s kid's closet.
Welcome to Valley Village.
Well, come in Please are you kidding?
Welcome In this circle.
Close the door.
There you go well
You know, my hormones helped me out to be strong.
So whoa.
So I heard that you have a few other looks that
are really on fire.
Can we go check them out?
I don't know you're right
Let's go check it out.
OK we're going to the closet.
Welcome to the closet.
So I see three things I want right now.
So I was going through your TikTok,
and then I saw you singing with this old man.
Yeah we have to put it on, wait, I got to show you.
This is it.
But yours is so much better I feel like I need to take yours.
Twinsies
We are here
Lady in red.
You know what's funny, like maybe the one thing,
I've never worn this dress.
Why?
It's been sitting-- I always said, one day I'm
going to be like really feeling myself
and wear this looking girly.
But I just end up putting this t-shirt on again.
One day, I'm going to build up the confidence
to throw this thing on, and just wear it.
I feel like you can totally do that.
You could even do it with like a pair like--
I feel like that could be a moment.
70% of the time I'm in heels, I'm falling.
We've seen that girl late at night,
you know, walking from the club.
That was me.
Yeah
But sober.
You know like that's me in the daytime.
So much like Blockbuster, we're going
to rewind and take it on back.
Let's talk about some of your vintage pieces.
OK, is there a piece, my dear that
has like endured a journey, like you survived?
I went on tour with this like 38 cities in a row.
Right
Around the time that I just hopped off that tour,
I got super duper sick.
I got thyroid cancer.
And basically, I was like still doing shows in this thing
as it was happening.
Wow
Yeah, that's I mean--
So not only are you a cancer survivor,
but like also like a professional.
She goes, bitch I'm sick, and I'm still showing up.
OK I appreciate that.
Yes
When I came out of the hospital for that one,
they wheeled me out and I had like bandages
all over my throat.
And my little brother goes, man, I
tried to warn you the music business was cut-throat.
So out of like all of your pieces,
I really get your vibe like oversized, comfortable.
Like, what's your vibe?
Tell us your vibe?
Like what would you say?
You know, so I have obviously I have
all these turtlenecks here.
And like normally.
I mean right now I'm wearing this one,
but this would go under this.
When it gets cooler out, I have like double
of every turtleneck in here to wear under my panties.
I normally like oversized band t-shirts.
I love band t-shirts.
Wait a minute.
Yeah.
I thought you were saying Banty like a band t-shirt
like a panty, a Banty.
What is that?
I thought it was a brand, a design.
Like jeggings?
Like a Banty.
And I was like Like a panty Banty?
No, not-- well, boom.
Which out of all of these pieces is the vintage piece that you
will never get rid of, that you cannot live without?
Oh, yeah, this one.
Well, this is the one I wanted.
Yeah, yeah.
FDNY, shout out to the fire department in New York.
This is my dad's uniform.
And he's retired.
He was a 9-11 first responder.
So yeah, he got injured on the job and the retired.
Did your father like really inspire your music then?
All the time.
Like for me, he's basically been my dadager since I was a kid.
Because after he had to retire, after 9/11, he basically
was driving me around everywhere,
setting up my equipment.
And my parents are amazing.
I just wrote a song about my parents' relationship.
I think I saw it.
Is that the video where your mom was wailing, honey.
She wasn't crying.
She was wailing honey.
The tears, the floodgates opened honey,
and she was trying to do it.
She was like, you look so cute you look so cute.
That's the one.
Like my father, I wanted to write a song about him
and how he treats her, and how I want to look for that in a man.
Give me the first, you said I want a man that--
Patient and kind.
Gets out of the car and holds the door.
And then I need a man who loves me like my father loves my mom.
That was, I think the line that really got me.
I was just like, non-dysfunctional households
work.
So little sis, even as a new artist,
you've still been able to make like a statement,
in fact, right?
Yeah.
Tell me more about your favorite looks
from your TikTok or your TV appearances.
OK, so this one, I wore on Ellen.
Yes and she was nice.
Wonderful.
She was nice, and I wear this one--
it was one of the craziest experiences of my life.
I got an email from the Ellen Show,
and I thought it was a spam.
So why the sweatshirt?
And like why this for Miss Ellen?
You know, I tried on a bunch of cool things.
I tried on like some sexier stuff.
I was like, this is a big moment.
Ellen wants me on the show.
I just felt the best in a hoodie.
I wanted to split the difference.
So like it's normally I just wear like a black hoodie.
Also I love that you stay true.
Like you could have just did, I guess the easy like oh.
this is my moment.
Let me do what everyone else is doing.
But you chose to be your authentic self.
Can you help me reach this?
Which one?
The green one.
This one?
The sweat suit, yes.
I babysit this girl named Chelsea.
And she is like 11 years old or 12 years old.
And she owns a lot of tie-dye.
So I was like, I want to come over and make
a TikTok together.
And she was like, because none of my friends
believe that you're my babysitter.
And they all follow you on TikTok.
I was like let's get over here, let's play this song.
Let's prove them wrong.
So I wore these, I like to wear these like tie-dye outfits,
we matched together for the TikTok.
So this is from the kid I babysits perspective.
That's the TikTok.
So this look was your most viral video on TikTok?
Yeah
OK, so you were already famous,
Sure.
And you were still babysitting?
Yeah I like.
I like that.
Good American-like values.
Like I'm going to get all the money.
Yeah.
You know what this makes me think of?
What?
Cookie dough, uncooked.
Don't it, like you just want to eat some?
Sis.
Tell me like which is the piece that is
special to you because of 2020.
You know, that's a very special year.
2020, aside from every single pair of sweat pants
that I wore the whole year?
It was uncomfortable.
It was uncomfortable year .
Yeah, it was.
It was like a business on top party on the bottom
Yeah and filter on the face.
Yeah, on TikTok, I'm like only waist up.
So I could just like wear my underwear and everything
like that.
So at the end of the year, I started--
TikTok was doing really well for me.
So I started talking to some record labels.
And ended up signing a deal--
a record deal with Atlantic Records.
So this is probably my 2020 trophy that I get to--
2020 was like the worst and the best all at the same time
as it gave me time to just sit down and make music and yeah.
Oh my God.
so many feels.
I going to mess up my makeup.
Now that we've walked in, it's time Jax to walk on out.
