You're. selling out stadiums worldwide. And now. you're headlining Coachella.

Congratulations. >> Thank you so much. [laughter]. >> Of all of these things, you've had so. much success. What is one of the best. parts that you've been able to just like. celebrate and what are you enjoying the. most of all of this right now? That's a complex question because I. think I'm going to answer and then 10. minutes later I'm going to think about. something different and then tomorrow. I'm going to be thinking like ah maybe. these two cuz I'm like not right now I'm. just like a roller coaster of feelings.

and emotions and and even with the with. the preparation and the rehearsals and. the studying all this process for this. show had. opened my mind in so many different. ways. So I every day just see something. different. H I feel super. blessed of course. I feel super. responsible of a lot of things. I feel. super proud at the same time. I feel. super nervous. I don't know if you know. but after my I finished the tour.

manonito tour in 2020. July 2024. and since that July I haven't been on. stage. like no with a show of mine I I was in I. but Bonnie was in my so I sing with him. one of like a song that we have together. but no me on stage performing like a. full show and this is crazy cuz I love. my fans. >> And now you're headlining Coachella. >> and I'm headlining Yeah, I'm going to.

present like actually I'm going to. present the songs of my last album in. Coachella. >> Do you get nervous though saying that? Like are you someone that gets nervous. performing on stage like if you haven't. done it in a while or does it come back. immediately naturally? >> I more than nervous. I'm like I I need. to be on stage. I love stage. Like for. me being on the studio like doing music. and being on stage like I'm my happiest. place to be. What does it mean to you to. have this opportunity to represent your. community and get up there and do this.

for them? >> This is huge. Like I think uh to have a. purpose is the most important thing. Even when we started like talking about. the creative details of of the show, I. was like, let's start from the message. because uh I love shows, but I love to. be on shows that they have a meaning, they have a reason, they have like. something to stand for and this is my. opportunity to stand for my community, you know, like as an artist and being. there, I've all the times feel that we. can have a voice, but sometimes it's not.

enough. But to be on that specific stage. is to have a big voice. This opportunity. to have a big voice for them. So yeah, I'm going to be there speaking a little. loud.

Can we talk about your evolution as an. artist? Because you're sitting in front. of me today, so successful, headlining. Coachella, Grammys, selling out all the. things, which is so amazing. But when. you were younger, did you expect this to. be your career? Like what life did you. envision for yourself? >> Yeah, actually I think I always wanted. to be a singer like my father, he he he. loves to sing and he used to have like a.

band when he was like young and he used. to take me when I was four or five years. old like to sing with him like do it. songs. So at that time I think I was. very into the music. So when I grew up, I listen like I study uh music, I. studied like different instruments, violin, I studed like drums, I studied. like electric guitar actually I got in. love really with my voice. That's the. instrument that I love the most. Uh but. uh everything just was guiding me that.

this is one I really want to do. There's. another part of me that wanted to be a. motorcycle rider professional. Like I. love motorcycles and that's my hobby. I. love I love sitting with artists because. it's always something like that. Like. it's always like if I wasn't going to do. this then I was going to do and then. it's something so random that I'm like. what do you drive motorcycles? >> Yeah, I love you. You have to come with. me on the back of your bike. Uh really.

moment like riding motorcycles in. Colombia. You're going to love. >> Do you put guys on the back of your. bike? >> Yeah. Like even my friends when they. don't they don't know how to ride like. they come. But if you were going on a. date, would you have a guy get on your. motorcycle? >> Ah, okay. Like that like actually that's. how I started like my a little bit like. my last relationship like giving my. first gift was a motorcycle. [laughter]. >> I thought you were going to say my first. gift was you can come on my motorcycle. You bought him a motorcycle? >> Yeah, I bought him a motorcycle.

>> Wait, that's an amazing gift. >> Yeah, >> we're going to get to relationships. Um, okay. Go back for a second though. 14. years old, it was your dad's idea for. you to audition for El Factor X. That's. pretty young. Like, what did you want. out of that experience? >> I was very shy in in my school. I always. was very very shy. Uh at that time. specifically, and I didn't want to go like I love to. sing. I love to perform. Even at that. time, I was like this little girl that.

always wanted to sing in front of the. family, but not like that. And my father. just did the line. It was crazy. He got. the number. Then I didn't want to go, but I went and uh I got chosen. [snorts]. And I started like recording the TV show. and then I got out. And when I got out. like my parents were they were like. super heartbreaking but I was like I. didn't really care like about it because. I was like you know I was like little.

kid like you don't really understand. like what's happening but then after. that um. there is this. person that uh asks to sign a contract. to start like a artistic process. My. parents they asked me do you want this. or do and actually I at that time I said. like this is interesting like I want to. understand how this is about like my. father showed me the movie of Selena.

Kintania and for me that movie it. changed my life completely. I was like. oh my god I I just visualize my myself a. lot in in her story and it gave me like. the strength and and the confidence. Exactly. And yeah, my parents signed. that contract. Uh, and I started. working. >> Before you signed a contract, I feel. like I remember reading that you really. were working it to try to get gigs.

before just like you come across a. manager and you get signed, right? So, like what were some of the shows that. you were booking while you were working. with your dad trying to get noticed and. seen in the industry? uh my father and I. we became like the craziest most amazing. team ever created in history of the. music and I said that because uh uh we. were like my father and I like sitting. in a table calling to different places. and I was like hi um you're talking with. the with KG assistant she's an artist.

and it was me like or it was him like. and we were like this big team oh you. need to talk to uh the I don't know the. executive like okay he's going to call. go later on to my father. [laughter]. >> Would you change your voice? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I'm calling. Hi. I want to um talk. with Carol G. >> Hello. We're calling from the this Kog. team and we asking you to um of course. we're showing she she had this great. music. She's Latina. She can sing in. school. She can sing in um I don't know.

in university. She can sing in. everybody. Do you need She has a great. music. She has a great show. She comes. with the artist. She comes with the. dancers and she comes with all the. amazing time. If you want to do. something, just please call us. We're. gonna be like super super super grateful. to be part of your show. [laughter]. [gasps]. >> You're a saleswoman. >> No, but no, it's. at the time it worked. Like we did a lot.

schools, universities like uh it was. amazing. >> Girl, you have to work it and you have. to like whether you pretend you have a. fake assistant or whatever it is. Sometimes that's what you have to do to. get people to then believe like oh she's. got a team like she is so big like this. is a really big deal that I'm speaking. meanwhile it's like it's you it's all. about the movie like it's kind of there. is this big phrase that I love that the. way how they see you they treat you so.

you are the one to have to put yourself. first in a specific spot and you have to. believe it and then everyone is going to. believe it too. But if you don't do it. like. >> Yeah. It doesn't it won't happen. >> No, it won't happen. >> So, Carol, you though were trying to. break into regatone in the beginning, right? Which is a maledominated genre. And so, although now you have this. confidence and you have this success, like what type of responses in the. beginning days were you getting from.

these music executives who were mainly. men? Yeah, it it felt like always like a. negotiation. Um, I was very blessed that. I have my father on the role with me, but actually even having him by my side, there were so many things that they were. like up. Like uh um I don't know. For me, it's it's. I just feel like I I feel grateful.

because I had those experiences and now. I feel that I have to speak for all my. women community. But it it was crazy. It. was all about like first there's a lot. of people that tells you that you're not. enough to do something that um they want. to show you the way to do it, how you h. how and what you have to sell to uh have. a position. And of course if you are in. a room of like full of.

respected men it's kind of you are in. this this second position where you have. to just listen and and go for the things. that they plan. Uh I hated that. I hated. everything and I hated it almost made me. hate what I do. It almost made me hate. like my music and everything. So it was. hard. Yeah. It it was hard. Yeah. I'm. and I'm so happy obviously to now see.

you in this place because I think I've. spoken to so many women, right, where I. sit with them and we talk about how. being a young woman in any industry, not. just music, but any industry, there's. such a power imbalance when you are a. young woman and you're in these rooms. with all of these powerful men and like. you said, you kind of lose your voice. because you kind of just have to agree. and say yes because you're really made. to feel so small. And I know early in. your career when you were 16 years old, what you were referring to is you signed. with a manager who was in his 50s and he.

crossed the line, right? How did that experience affect the way. that you viewed the music industry as a. whole? It kills all the emotion and all. the love that I used to have for music, you know, and and at that time there's. [snorts] so many things that you feel. that you're not like you're not able to. to to talk like uh that's why I always. say that it's super important to teach.

people to be open with all the feelings. and all the different experiences cuz. sometimes you you want to say things but. you don't find the way or you don't have. this I [snorts] don't know But uh you. cannot speak about them and and at that. time I couldn't speak about nothing and. I just said I don't want to do this. anymore and and and I just told my. father please just take me out of this. like uh help me I I I don't feel.

comfortable and and I just uh asked my. father just please take me out of here. and my father he was my father he had to. pay a lot of he worked a lot of years. just to pay like how it co what it cost. to be out of that contract. But I moved. to New York to an aunt's house and and. my father was like very concerned about. like why are you doing this to me? like. well it's kind of he felt that it was. kind of a something that I wanted to do. you know like uh we say in espanol I.

don't know how to say it in English but. it's kind of uh if it was something that. I I don't want this anymore and I just. want to site new thing but in the deep. deep the really deep uh situation I. could never explain but he just believed. in that he didn't want to do that. >> I think something you said too Carol. that's so relatable for women is like. sometimes and I agree it's so important. to talk about this because hopefully if. there is a woman who's listening to this. going through something like that right.

now, maybe she will feel more. comfortable to speak up, but it's so. hard in the moment because you feel it's. like debilitating. You feel frozen, right? >> Knowing how much your dad was your. biggest supporter and was there with. you, like can you explain for people who. may not understand like why you didn't. feel like you could tell him what. happened? I think because there were so. many things that happened to me that. they they were like a first experience. even in in mind and and situation that I. never before spoke about everything was.

new. So, so I was like, how I explain. this if I don't know even if people live. this like it's kind of like you don't. now I don't even understand how. I couldn't say nothing but I couldn't it. was like kind of I was embarrassed of of. of the things I was embarrassed of. myself is is it's something that. you it's there's no explanation but I I.

just feel that. girls need to understand that you have. to speak. There's not a there's not a. way if you have someone that is making. you feel uncomfortable, disrespected, uh not dignity at all. There's nothing. good that is going to happen. Nothing. good. Like cuz you you think that is a. this is the way or whatever. That's not. that's never going to be the way that. that's going to make you lose time and.

that's going to make you lose yourself. And I learned that like later on and. sometimes like yeah I'm really a nice. person I love but there's people that. can sit in a chair and say like oh that. you think that she's really. goodbye but she's not like I'm going to. sit I'm going to say like do you. actually. are conscious about what happened what. you did on me for you to say that. because now I really.

make sure people respect me in the room. like I love everything but I'm not like. with some I'm not going to be sitting. with someone I'm going to say hi I'm. going to be very polite but that's just. going to it doesn't we won't going to. cross the line of if you respect me or. not and I learned that really late. >> took me time. >> but it's but it's so relatable. unfortunately and I appreciate you. speaking on it because there are so many. women that are going to be listening to. this and I do think it's the first.

lesson that you're really saying is. giving ourselves grace when we go. through something for the first time as. women we are taught to. a lot of times appease men and I think. it's just recently that we're being able. to have conversations being like that. was not okay you should not have been. put in that position but when you are in. those positions you kind of just freeze. and you don't know what to do and so a. lot of times we have to give ourselves. grace that that was our response because. we don't know what else to do but then.

it takes growing up and learning and. growing and becoming stronger. And it. sucks that we have to become stronger. from all the pain that we endure as. women and going through these hard. situations. But it does make us. stronger. So now when someone is coming, whether they're trying to take advantage. or they are treating you a specific way. now, Carol G can sit in her room and it. makes me upset for you that you learned. it through such a painful moment, but. you now know exactly what you will not. put up with. And there you go. >> You know what is the craziest thing.

about it? that then like living life, I. just knew a lot of a lot of girls that. they had the same situation and I was. like, "Wow, this is something that. repeats a lot. This is something that we. really have to stand for cuz uh it's. it's kind of it I don't know, but it. looks like it was a normal thing, you. know, like a normal thing in the process. of every girl that want to do something. huge in their lives. So that's why I.

have to let's start from the opposite. Let's start being hard and. the boss and respect yourself first. instead of learning it late. And this. message and I'm going to speak to the. camera. This message goes to the parents. too cuz actually the communication start. at home. And if you're telling like no. no don't do that men they do that. No no. no don't hold that cuz like actually men. do that. Oh, teach a girl to be.

strong from the beginning. We can do. everything. And actually, I love to read. books about like mind and about. spiritually and everything. And most. about girls and we have a really strong. spirit like over everything. We can do the most crazy amazing like. girls that they give life like they it's. they give birth you know like so. starting from that like just believe. that your girls at home they can do.

whatever they want they're as a strong. they're even stronger like it's a magic. for it's a message for everyone you know. >> such a good point and is there anything. now that you have had so much success. and you're in your position that you. would want to say to those men who. doubted you or didn't treat you right. What would you say to them now? >> Oh no, my work is speaking about me. So. I don't have anything to say like they. can watch and and but everyone is so. welcome to be enjoying my show cuz it. happens that I have had people in my.

show that they are like so sorry about. this and whatever and I don't take it. like personal like enjoy like you're. part of this and I just hope you learn. your you know your your. >> can watch me on stage at Coachella. [laughter] I'll be on the main stage. Where are you, >> Yeah. A little bit like that. [laughter]. A little bit like for you, Carol. >> Exactly. You're killing it. Yeah. Yeah. Better. [laughter] Better. >> Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Uber. Eats. You already know Uber Eats.

So, you work with your father, you get. out of the situation with this manager, your career really starts taking off, and then you start collaborating with. some major artists and your album, Mñana. Sarah Bonito, it broke so many records. It's crazy. How were you feeling. emotionally when your career really just.

started to take off? >> No, you know what? like uh even we did. this stadium tour with Vanasonito and. right now I have the same status as a. bucket list for my next tour. It's crazy. cuz it's you leave it. and your brain. is like kind of not ready for it. It it. it didn't happen to me, you know? I. don't know. But now I still have like. the same places that I just went and I. have it in my bucket list. I want to be. there and I want to I don't know. But.

when you're on stage and you see all. that amount of people that they made. this crazy efforts to pay the ticket and. everything, it's kind of like your brain. is not ready for it. And I wasn't ready. for that album and for that too at that. time. And because that obviously that. album changed your life and I know it. was really inspired by your own. relationship. How did it feel to share. those emotions and experiences with your. fans? Ah, I think they were part of the.

rebellion. Uh, of course they started. like being just feelings that then it. was part of the rebellion and my only. way to speak was about like through my. music. >> Yeah. >> And I always say like uh Ko G is a. really good artist and a really good uh. musician but a heartbreak like. heartbroken Kol G. That's That's something crazy cuz like.

that's when like my superpower comes. out. >> Like I'm going to write some bangers. Get ready. >> Get ready. >> And the world was like, "Okay, yeah, these are bangers." I mean, I I think. about that album and I know like I've. been in unhealthy relationships. I think. probably everyone listening has. But. when you get out of it and you have that. clarity, you're like, "How did I not see. that?" But there's so much that goes. into relationships that again it's like. even if there's a bad moment then it's. met with a good moment and then you.

remember the good and then it happens. again. It's like I think I don't know if. you have but like have you ever made. excuses for a partner's behavior. >> Yeah. Of course like you romanticize. everything and and and that's how brain. works cuz the our body hates pain. So we. our brain is going to go like ah yeah. this is bad but remember when he was. nice this time and you are like yeah. maybe it's not that bad but then you. spend like a lot of time like you know. doing negotiations with your brain and.

then no it's like it's it's I don't know. exactly. Have you ever been in a. situation where you look back and you. really realize like, oh, I started to. lose myself in that relationship and. what did that look like for you? >> No, that happens a lot to me and. actually uh I need to work that on me. cuz if not, I'm going to fail every. relationship. Now I know that cuz uh. when you start like having a. relationship with a person,

you need from the beginning to set. things that they're like this. You know, you have your life, you have your life. You do things this way, you do things. this way. It's two people that. compliments. each other. But when you start like. changing for the other person just to. make the other one feel better, feel. comfortable, like you start like sharing. more time with their friends doing their. stuff, doing their thing, in their.

times, in their like routine. That's when you lose yourself and now. you don't find yourself anymore in that. specific. But you don't love yourself. and you don't you're not able to love. the other person and and everything is. stop like if you're holding the. relationship because of that then when. it breaks everything breaks you know so. I need to work that on me I need to be. more like this is how I do things.

exactly set the boundaries exactly so. from the beginning you start like doing. things cuz you know you're in the right. like the most amazing moment situation. and you just want the other people to. feel happy, comfortable and everything. and you start like doing things because. of that and they become habits you know. they become habits and with the time. they become like stronger and stronger. and then you don't know how to be out of. >> right you've done it for so long that. even if you try to change it they've. gotten used to you putting up with it. and then by the time you try to change. it it's too late girl.

>> you're. >> I feel you I feel you hard on that. >> I think all of us. >> all of us are like and Yes. Yes. >> Yeah. So, I need to defy my love. Is. that the word? >> Yeah. >> I need to learn how to defy a love that. keeps going out but is still coming in. >> Cuz are you a romantic? [laughter]. >> The most corny romantic girl in I love. details. And when I say details, I'm not. talking about like presents. I love. details. I love that you find a little.

note. I love that you find a little. thing here, right there. I love to I. I've done graffitis. on the wall. >> for a man. >> for a man like girl taking time like. long night with my friends doing. something and the next day sending a. picture and find it because it's for you. like girl like. >> no that's romantic but then they're like. treating you like you're like you. don't deserve me. >> I love corny songs and I love I don't.

know yeah I'm stuck in time. >> do you write songs for guys that you of. >> of course. >> and perform them to them. >> Of course. [laughter]. >> Yeah. You know what I did once? I just. did a song. I recorded in a cassette. I. let the the little cassette player I. don't know how to the player with the. cassette inside and I left the house. with a note like listen to this for you. >> Did he text you and say I'm madly in. love with you? >> Yeah, of course. Yeah, that was cute.

That was cute. >> Um, okay. Your song TQG has become such. an empowering breakup anthem for so many. women. How did that collaboration with. Shakira come to be? >> Okay. Um, she was having this specific. moment in her life. Uh, and I had this. song that I wrote in a specific moment. kind of in the same moment of my life. and I just noticed in her interviews and. everything that she was speaking about. like a feeling that represented the.

song. So, I had the song and I didn't. have communication with her, but I just. um got her contact, sent her the song, explain her a little bit why I felt that. she could be like a part of the song and. then she loved it. I think we had like. amazing like conversations before like. to shoot the video and everything and. and I think that that's why the song. became like so big. It was like really. genuine about like how she was feeling. and how I was feeling when I like when I.

did the song. So, it was amazing. >> It worked. >> The song talks about an ex coming back. when they see you doing better, which is. so annoying and so relatable. When this. happens to you, Carol, how do you. respond. >> with a. multi-million selling. album and tour. about what you and how you made me feel?

Yeah, like that mic drop. Oh, watch me. make some money and just like live out. my dreams now. Yeah. That's how you. respond. >> That's how I am. >> And do you respond to them ever? >> No. >> No. That's your response. >> You know, like how I am. I'm like when I. I'm done, I'm done. >> Like there's not a not there's not a. door, not even a window, not even a. nothing. There's no nothing. There's I'm. done. It's like a a you you have to.

notice that I'm trying too hard to put. this together cuz when I don't do it, I. don't do it anymore. >> You're done. >> I'm done. And that takes confidence. I. feel like we can't talk about confidence. without talking about bich. For anyone. who isn't familiar, can you please. explain what it means to be a bich? >> Uh, you know, is still like we have this. specific word in Spanish. We say to um a. person that is really good at something.

like for example meapo, you know, we say. like that. It's like kind of his. aichote. Uh, and it's the same meaning. is a for they used to use it for an. narco person but it became like a a. heavy word that represents like a heavy. personality. So I loved that for bich. and now there is bich bich all over the. world just super powerful and running. their thing and yeah. >> you are such a confident person which I. think people love so much. You even have.

a tattoo of yourself. What inspired. this? the three people that I admire the. most in my life and it's always been the. same and even like knowing and meeting. different people is still the same and. it's uh Rihanna Selena Kintania and. Karolina that it's me and and and. actually people I know they understand. like uh they can feel that it's really. weird cuz uh it's kind of a.

I don't know like it's hard to say that. you have a tattoo of yourself in your. body. But for me, it's kind of I'm the. only one that knows. how hard has been like for me in. different situation. Like if there's. someone that I admire a lot, it's. myself. It's kind of I just sit down. sometimes and I say like, "Wow, I don't. know how I did this. I don't know how I. passed through this. I don't know how. I'm here." And actually, I keep just.

repeating that to myself. My last year. was a really hard crazy year. So I. really admire like who I've become cuz. I'm still like a not confidence person. like [clears throat]. a lot of times. Uh but there's these. lucid moments that I have that made me. remember how everything how hard has. been. So I have myself here. I have. Selena Kintania. She's like my most.

biggest inspiration in the world. Her. personality, her spirit, her music. She. is the [gasps]. See, if there's something that represent. Latina girl is Selena Kintania and then. is Rihanna. Rihanna, she's my baby. She. is my baby. She's like this smart, brilliant, strong person that I really. want to remember in every situation. And. I always say like, "Okay, what would. Rihanna do?" Okay, so let's think about. it in this situation like cuz she's a.

She has. become like a business girl, like a mom, very dedicated and lovely mom and she. has done everything as a girl, as a. women woman, like everything. So, I'm. ready. >> Have you gotten to meet her? >> Yeah, I met her at her Super Bowl and.

she gave me the most amazing lesson a. person gave me in my life. You have to. be, she didn't tell, she didn't tell. this, but that's like what I realized. from our meeting. You have to be the person you would love. to meet for everyone. No, for no not. convenience. No, for everyone. Be the.

person you would love to meet. Like when. you are in situation, you say like ah. this person made me feel so. uncomfortable, so bad. I don't want to. be that. She made me feel very special. in that room. When I got in, she was so uh she was like eating little. poitos like chicken. She was eating. little pojitos and she was already. pregnant and she presented his pregnancy. that night and she was like with no. shoes just sitting in her sofa and she. was talking to me like things that I. never I didn't know that she knew my.
