- Let me tell you about a funny story.
So, I was in L.A.
and I never knew about the dance.
Like I seen it, but I never knew how to do it.
So, I meet up with TikTok,
and they're telling me how to do like
a dance to my own songs.
They're like, "No, it's I miss my cocoa butter kisses."
I'm like, "All right, all right, all right!"
And I could not get it down, at all.
It was too fast for me, I'm over here like,
"Hold on, wait, like what?"
I'm up here tryin' to dance, I'm like,
"Bro, how are y'all hittin' the woah to this?"
I'm number 3 in the world on TikTok, and that's crazy.
The name Kaash Paige came from just me calling myself
Kaash My Checks at first.
My middle name is Paige, and so I went by Kaash,
but I was like, that's kinda like, basic.
I feel like everybody at this time
was calling themselves Kaash,
so I was like, lemme add something else,
so I said Kaash Paige
and I was like "Mmh."
So, I was letting people listen to it
and they were like, "That sound hard."
And I was like bet, but I have to make Kaash mean something,
so Kaash means, "Kill all arrogance, stop hatred."
So, "Kill all arrogance, stop hatred Paige."
I used to hate myself because I couldn't be like the group
that I was around.
And I'm just like, you don't have to be like
somebody else to be cool or, you can't put on a different
persona, you just have to be yourself.
And be real with yourself, 'cause that's where
everybody loves you the most.
I graduated early because I didn't really like school.
When I was in school, I was surrounded by
so many different personalities, I was losing myself.
'Cause you know, high school— big bullies.
Middle school— big bullies.
I can't be around that 'cause at that time I was gettin'
to learn myself 'cause I'm growing up
and I'm like "Dang like,
"am I cool because I hang out with this girl?
"Or am I lame because I hang out with this girl?"
So, it was more like, I had to get out and I wanted
to be different.
I'm like, I want to do music.
See, I always get stories sent to me,
but when somebody sent me Kylie Jenner's story,
I'm like, all right, they just sayin' she bad.
I'm like, "Ok."
So, I look at it, and I hear my song. I'm like, "All right,"
so my heart dropped a little bit.
And then as the week goes by, I start seeing every single
song from my EP. So I'm like,
"She must really, mess with me."
And it was just like, I was getting sent stories
every single day.
Every single day.
When I seen Kylie Jenner listening to it,
I just felt like it took the song to a whole different
amount of people's ears.
I feel like people are like, "What sound is this?
"What artist is this?"
So, I feel like people started listening
to the songs more, and listening to my EP
and got more into me.
But at the same time, I still gotta keep goin'.
There's going to be way more artists
and way more people that listen to my songs so,
it was just like, it was just a blessing at that time
because I would never think that, you know,
Kylie Jenner would be bumpin' my music.
When I first made 'Parked Car Convos,'
it was just literally me always being in the car
with my friends.
Just talkin' about life.
And so I was like, "What if I made an EP
"that you can just turn on and chill and sit
"in the car with your friends and just smoke,
"or you know, just talk about anything."
So, when I was in the process of making that EP,
it was hard for me, 'cause I'm over here like
what do we talk about in 'Parked Car Convos?'
Like, what are the topics?
The topics are everything.
Whenever I make my music, it comes from life experience,
but at the same time it comes from just me creating a story.
And just, you know, saying either what I go through or what
I've heard somebody else went through, or just something
that teenagers can relate to.
I'm nineteen years old like, I don't go through a lot.
So, 'Teenage Fever' actually came from--
I don't know if y'all listen to Drake.
I like his song "Teenage Fever,"
but it had more meaning to me than just his song.
It was like 'Teenage Fever,' I want to drop it before
summer time, because I feel as if, that's the vibes.
summer time because I feel as if, that's the vibes.
'Teenage Fever' and 'Parked Car Convos,' they're going to be
completely different, completely different albums.
I feel like 'Parked Car Convos' was more of--
That's like my pregame.
That was more like, just showing people what I got.
I feel like 'Teenage Fever' is more me, showing the
production and the growth of my music.
My goals for 2020 and more years to come,
I want to be the biggest artist in the world
and I'm going to be the biggest artist in the world.
So, y'all just stay tuned for that one.
'cause, that's just my goal,
I wanna be the biggest artist in the world,
the biggest business lady in the world
at a young age.
I want to have a record label,
I want to have a lot of stuff.
I just don't want to do music for the rest of my life,
so I'm going to branch off, have an artist
become an A&R, and do a whole bunch of other stuff.
Just take over the world and put on for Dallas.
