Kehlani Jumps on Air with Dj Pup Dawg

This video is an engaging interview with the artist Kehlani, conducted by DJ Pup Dawg, where she reflects on her hugely successful career, which she notes is constantly growing and has recently earned her two Grammy nominations. She discusses her personal evolution, explaining that the confidence she displays now comes from growing up in the industry—from age 19 to 30—and learning to overcome early-career shyness and anxiety. Her advice to her younger self is to prioritize mental health immediately by starting therapy, seeking psychiatry, and developing positive habits and routines. Regarding her music, Kehlani talks about her "old school" strategy of releasing several singles, like "Folded" and "Out the Window," as a natural lead-up to an album, and she admits that she is still learning to ignore online criticism in favor of the overwhelming love from fans. She also confirmed that two major collaborations are in the works: a dream collaboration with Usher and a feature with Brandy for her upcoming album, which is expected to be followed by a tour next year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
