Speaker 1 (02:55):
What place are you most excited to perform in.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I've always wanted to go to Watchusralia, so we're going
to be there performing in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. So
I'm excited for that. Hopefully there aren't like too many
spiders I've heard, that's what I was Have you been
to Australia no, I haven't, but.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I do have to say, like, well, you're gonna be
completely fine obsessed with Australia. When I went to college,
I was considering studying there. I was choosing between London,
where I ended up going. I did like London Florence,
and the other place was like Australia. We're kind of
the big programs that kids in our school did. And
I called it my older brother. I have an older
brother and a twin and I called it my older brother.
And I was like, yeah, I'm thinking about going to Australia.
(03:32):
And he was like, Kate, do you know how big
the spiders are there? And I'm like so bad with
like bugs in general, and just like things like that.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But that's funny that you said that. It just made
me think of that.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Fine, sure, I'm excited.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I hope we get to go to like the Irwin Zoo,
like Steve Irwin Bindi Irwin.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
They have like the family Zoo.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
They have the zoo there in Australia.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I don't know what city it did, but I want
to go and like hold the koalas. Yeah, boys wanted
to Yeah, yeah, I think actually coolers are pretty vicious
and kangaroos.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Apparently they're so strong.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
I've seen videos of like them just being so mean.
I'm like, I thought you were supposed to be nice.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I look so fluffy.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, I swear like the cutest animals are the most deceiving.
But regardless, Australia will be amazing. The wildlife is so cool.
I feel like it's just so cool in general to
like see wildlife and like be around that stuff, because
like in the US, I mean I'm in New York.
You guys are in Florida. I mean, you guys have
some wildlife, but it's more like.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Lizards, right, yeah, yeah, kind of haters.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, some weird looking birds.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'm not a bird person.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
She was just saying she's really not looking forward to well,
she's looking forward to it, but she's nervous about like
London and Paris because her biggest fear is birds, and
there's pigeons everywhere.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
There's pigeons here, though, Yeah, I get scared here. I
don't know what it is, but like I have to
cover my ears when I see a bird because I'm
scared it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Like fly by me or like over your head.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I don't know what the fear stemmed from but yeah,
I'm scared of birds.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I think that's a real fear. Yeah, hopefully your sisters
don't like poor like we're not looking.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, we'll have to do something. Yeah, maybe we'll make
a video about it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, okay, but that's really exciting. So world tour coming up.
You're going all over. Where are the different locations? So
you said Australia, London, where else?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
So we start in London, then we'll do Paris, Amsterdam,
will have Germany, and then we'll come to North America
and we'll do we have a Toronto show, which I'm
excited about, then New York, Orlando, Dallas, Chicago, LA. And
then we'll end in Australia.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Oh my god. And how long is this whole like
tour taking.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
It's about three months, yeah, because we're giving ourselves some
time of between, yeah, and to like see the city.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You know you have to give yourself time to explore.
But so like three months. I thought you were gonna
say six months.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh no, yeah, we're getting be done.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
I think we'll do probably two or three shows a weekend,
so then we'll have the week to like travel and
explore and then we'll perform.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
On the weekends.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
To be able to perform two shows a weekend. How
how were you guys building your stamina? Like, what does
your training look like outside of singing to get ready?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, we kind of think of it as because we're
fans of K pop. Yeah, so watched like the Newcat
Side documentary and Effex and we're doing our own K
pop Academy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So it's the singing and the running and stretching. Also,
I'm not good at stretching. I just always like to
skip that step, but stretching, and then Maul is our choreographer,
so she comes up with all the dances.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah that's impressive because you guys are known for your dancing.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah, we'll be dancing throughout the whole show.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
So each song we have a pretty full out dance.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
So I would say also big part is like vocal health.
So we have like nebulizers which like hydrates your vocal cords.
So it's just like maintaining vocal health while we're on tour.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I mean, yeah, it makes total sense.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I had like a Broadway singer on here that is
Alphaba and Wicked, and that was like what she was
talking about. And it was funny because I saw her
at the gym yesterday and she's been like saving her
voice for her shows. Do you guys think you'll do
a little bit of that, like during the week.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
We might have to go on vocal rest, which is
what you would do if like you're like kind of
losing your voice or want to save it for a show.
But yeah, that's something we're nervous about, is if we
lose our voice or get it, I.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Might have to use if I don't want to talk
to somebody.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Sorry, Okay, Well, we're gonna come back to the world
tour and everything that you guys have coming up that
like everybody can kind of be on the.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Lookout for figure out where to buy tickets for.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
But first, what I'm really curious about is I want
to know your story. I'm so curious about how you
guys got your start, how Triple Charm came to be.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Take me back to the beginning.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Yeah, we grew up as competitive dancers, so we've always
been on the stage and loved entertainment, and so we
all three started when we were like two years old,
and so Amalia started us off in singing because she
went into theater and did what's called like the rep
and it was like a local theater and performing arts program,
(07:54):
and so me and Rayna kind of joined in when
watching Amalia kind of pursue that.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, watching her for a while, she was in the car,
We're doing warm ups, and when you're not the one participating,
it is so annoying. You just got to the radio.
So eventually we joined her and we're all in the
car doing our g yeah, our parents. Yeah, but yeah,
I think after watching her for a while, she just
inspired me and Gabbity try it. And then we went
(08:19):
to it's called the World Championships of Performing Arts, which
is like the Olympics for performing arts. All the countries
come and compete and singing, dancing, acting. So we did
it individually and then we also competed as a trio,
and I think just doing it as a trio, we
had so much fun and we were like could we
do something with this, Like could we do this for longer?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, that was in twenty nineteen when we did that.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's kind of when we got the idea to start.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Then we I think in twenty nineteen we wrote our
first single and then we were like, Okay, we have
this music video that we worked super hard for, Like
we we went to La to film that video, and
so we were.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Like, oh my gosh, it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
On YouTube posted We're like, who's gonna watch it? People
to watch this video, And so that's what initially started.
When we started posting on social media was right around COVID.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So you guys started posting as Triple Charm.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Like it wasn't like you started out by posting dance
videos and then became Triple Charm.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
No, it started as Triple Charm.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But you guys, you realize how crazy it is.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Though I don't know what your official following is on Instagram,
I'm sure it's wild as well, but just I've been
so focused on YouTube recently, so I was looking at
your YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Twenty nineteen is not that long ago. You guys went
from zero to over twelve million in that many years.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Crazy.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
We went through a lot of techniques. So, like in
the beginning, we did this thing called Operation Rally Up,
which was on Instagram. We would go through like similar
artists or people that we thought their audience would like us,
and we would go through their list of followers and
like their posts and common.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Yeah, like hey, check out our new single.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I don't know, like just try to like promo ourselves.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
It was called Operation Rally Up because that was our
single at.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
The time, called Rally Up. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
So yeah, we would literally I think we got to
like seven thousand followers on Instagram doing exactly. But that
was like some labor we had to put it.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
We each did an hour a day.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Yeah, for like a few months, you were going to
your favorite artists and then you were looking at their
followers and sending d ms for an hour a day
each to them saying listen to our single.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
You just like their post, just comment on their photos
and say like, oh, like we have a single out
stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
And so I remember at one point I think TikTok
like stopped us from commenting because they were like, you're
commenting too much. But if we were not stamming, we
were just like realized.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
You could just post a video and then they'll come
to you, right right.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Who came up with that initial initiative, I don't even know.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I think I think it was our dad, Yeah, probably probably.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, because he's like in marketing and stuff and it's funny.
He's now with us full time, but initially he was
at his corporate job and during his lunch break he
would call us and talk to us. Yeah yeah, yeah,
in a big help.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And it makes sense like if your dad's been in
the industry, he's kind of like, Okay, here's like a
good kind of technique.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Keep be doing game out there.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But on top of that, you guys grew such an
organically big following. What was the first video that went
like mega viral for you that was like the maybe
the start of the turning point of your career.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, I think there.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Was like a few moments that happened. So first we
started on Instagram reels and so one of the first
videos we posted was us dancing in the rain and
that got like a million views and we were like,
oh my gosh, like we made it, like this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
So that was the first moment for us. I was
like wow.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
And then YouTube can we started on YouTube. I do
remember well, I think I remember the one that was
like one of the biggest. Okay, so YouTube. We started
posting on shorts right when I was in beta. So
we did the same thing with Instagram right when we
knew that they were coming out with Reels. We were like,
we're gonna get on it right away posted. I think
when Reels came out, we posted three videos a day
(12:03):
for a few months, like straight and then same thing
with YouTube. We did one video a day and the
one that went like super viral. I think it had
like one hundred million views. It was this filter where like, oh,
I don't know if it was like a line girls
like goes across and it freeze frames as it's moving. Yeah,
And so we did one and it was like turning
(12:23):
into Superman?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
So like, was it me on the ben?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yes, it was an allusion to where it looked like
I was floating in the air.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yeah, that one got like at least one hundred million views. Yeah,
that was the first one to really blow up.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
So yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, you really figured out how to foster engagement online
and then you know, blow your blow it up.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Like how cool is that? We Does anybody ever say this?
Because I literally just thought of this. Do you guys
know like the Powerpuff Girls?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yes, especially the hair the hair colors.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, I just immediately thought it that because I was like,
I don't know all their names but it would be
like Bubble Buttercup has the brown hair as Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
That's literally you guys.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I feel like that'd be a funny like outphit on
stage to like lean in, Yeah, I don't know, what
are your outphits on stage kind of look like?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Have you guys thought about that for the witer So.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
We did two shows last year.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
We did one at the Grammar Sya and one at
the Roxy in La and so those were super fun
and so our mom styled us for those.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
It's like performance outfits because obviously we're dancing.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Full out and we had like a quick change in
the middle, like during intermission, So that's super fun.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
We do like two looks every night.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
So I feel like the looks are so important, right
because when I think about like Sabrina Carpenter, I think
about that cute little like yeah exactly, I don't know,
like the the dazzled outfit. So yeah, I feel like
that's such a fun component of performing it is. How
did you guys initially get the name Triple Charm.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Well, for this competition that we were entering, we had
the group name, so really we were grinding to try
and think of something. Yeah, and we had a few
very names.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
That we were like dating on.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
But I actually chose one, but it ended up already
being a group. Yeah, triple charm. I guess just we
were the triple for there's three of us, and I
guess like people have always called us a triple threat
because the singing dancing actor.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Again, triple.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Charms, I don't know, kind of like were each other's
good luck charm.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, doing it together.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
So it just it just worked.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I guess I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think it's such a cute name, and I feel
like you can do so much like fun marketing that's
just like so girly around it. What is it like
working with your sisters? Is there like one troublemaker in
the group, you know, like who is like steering the
pot the most out of the three of you?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Give me the tea on the family dynamic Okay, Yeah,
I think Amalia and Raina are the ones that like
butt heads the most when it comes to content because
Amalie is very efficient, She wants to, you know, do
it as fast as possible, wants the schedule very organized.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Rain is more like, can't.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
We just do it on the profession, So the quality
control it's good exactly. I guess that's where we're different.
But we've learned to work together, and I honestly appreciate
her now because even like on Instagram and stories, I'm
so bad because I'll take like thirty minutes for one
story and she'll have done ten in five minutes.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
So there's we definitely like through learning the past four
or five years.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
We each have our own strengths.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
So I come up with like the content and the choreography,
and then Raina edits all of our videos and post
them and then Gabby replies to comments. So these are fashionista,
so she helps the mom with the style, large designs
and the heart sy things.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, and Gabby, I just have to say I said
this when you walked in. But my favorite thing about
looking at your guys's channel is because it's like, you
guys are so young, especially Gabby, like, and when I
was looking, I was like looking at your oldest videos
just to see like, okay, when did they start posting
on social media?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Because I was like twelve million followers. It's no joke,
you know, like you've got people that take ten years.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Before like figuring out how to you know, get that
mass get a mass following like that, so I was like, wow,
like when did they start?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
And Gabby, you were so little And it's so fun
to look back because I'm like, it's a diary. I
just go back and you look at these journals trees,
and I'm like, I was so young, so tiny.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
It's crazy the juxtaposition. And I feel like we like
forget about it. But like ten to fifteen, like you
became like a young adult like in last years, you know.
So I'm curious what has it been like specifically for
you growing up on YouTube from such a young age.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I think there was like an age around like thirteen
where most kids either like choose to.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Quit whatever they're doing or like go full on, like
do it go home or do it? I don't know
what's the sound that's what I was thinking of.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
But I just loved entertaining and what we were doing
together was so fun. I think even from a young age,
I knew that's what I wanted to do. But yeah,
I feel like so many people say they watched me
grow up, and I think that's so special it is.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
And it's also like you were doing it with your
older sisters, which I feel like makes it that much
more comfortable, you know, And then I'm curious about with
you guys, like what has.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
It been like?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I think for me, I remember being super young and
my dad wouldn't let me have social media. I asked
for an Instagram and he was like, not until you're
the right age, because like all my friends had it,
and I was like, come on, please, dad, Like I'm
still not even allowed to have Snapchat.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
But anyway, so.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You guys need to be on Snapchat. We have more
the group on, but you can make a lot of
money on.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
So yeah, so I've like always wanted to be on it,
just like for fun, like to see my friends and stuff.
So now that we're like doing it as a job almost,
it's so crazy and it's so much fun. And I
will say, like watching Gabby grow up, it's crazy because.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It's the cutest thing. Yeah, it's literally the cutest thing.
I'm like, literally I was watching the videos chronologically, just
like watching you get old.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
It's crazy funny because I feel the same age as
I did. Then I'm like, I didn't change, but then
I look back and we were so different.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah you don't notice it, you know, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, I'm just rightful Dad didn't let us go on
social media because we would have white an interesting digital footprint.
So really, thank goodness, I'll just have to say I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, what did your friends think when you guys started
popping off online? For me?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I think initially because initially I was in school when
we started Triple Charm, and so they were supportive, which
I'm lucky. I guess there's no like bullying or anything.
They were honestly really supportive and they thought it was cool,
but it was still kind of smaller back then, like
we were just starting. And then I think when I
started blowing up, we started doing online school, so I
(18:26):
wasn't like in school. But then my friends that I
like stayed connected with, they just thought it was so
cool and they would text me like congratulations. But it's
interesting because they didn't never seem to like be that fased.
I guess it's just like the age we've grown up
and like, I don't know, they just didn't seem to
be that face, which is cool, like to have friends
that you're the same with.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I think I also has to do with like a
lot of our best friends were from dance, so we
competitively danced together, and so we were kind of like
in that world almost in a way at the same time,
like all dancing together, so it seemed like pretty natural
for us to do something like that, and they knew
that we were singing and all that stuff. So all
my friends now even are so supportive, Like we sang
for the Tampa Bay Bucks game, like.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Yeah, yeah, that was that and itself was like a
crazy story, so many stories.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
What is the story I need to know? And was
this the first like crazy like performance that you guys did.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Well, first time ever sing the national anthem together?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And that's a feat Like that's hard, right, yeah, yeah, okay,
talk to me.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
About So we had prepped for it.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
We went to a Bucks game like a few years ago.
It's like film videos and we were like, oh, by
the way, if you ever need to sing the anthem,
like we'll totally do it. And then they had reached
out for this season and so we had practice. We
got in our arrangement done like it's full of harmonies,
and we get there it's like, this is the first
time in a big stadium that we've sang, Like we
(19:49):
did our shows, but those are like five hundred six
hundred seats, and so the delay that happens when you sing,
it's like you sing and then a second and a.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Half later you hear your own voice. It's so trippy.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah, that is, but if we had so they're called
in ears, but they're basically just like earbuds, so we
could hear we didn't have to hear the delay as much.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Like the delay a little bit, and so that was
super helpful because you're able to like tune into your
own voice and like what's coming directly, but if you
like lose focus for even a second, you'll hear the delight.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
And it was so trippy.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Yeah, but we had like a dress rehearsal, Yeah, and
it was great. Every now and then I did hear
like a chip in my ear, but it wasn't too bad.
And then, oh, and everyone was hyping this up because
I guess this was the first time, at least at
the Tampa Bay Bucks that they were broadcasting the national
anthem across all.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Fox Box Sports Sunday every NFL.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, so they were like hyping this up. So we were
nervous and then we get out there. It's a big crowd.
I'm honestly trying not to look at all the people.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yeah, you can't. You can't look at people. You just
have to like focus on getting the job.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
It's like me and the camera. We're in this together.
It's just me, and.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Then you take it in after the fact. So then
like once I finished singing, I looked over, Oh my gosh, there's.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
So many people here.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
But we started singing, and then me and Rena couldn't
hear for like the first note, and so we were like, wow,
we didn't even know if we were in time. They
were like oh oh, But like.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
It was muscle memory. At this point. We had practiced
it so much so.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
We're able to get through it and it ended up
sounding really great. But it was just like such a
wild experience. Like the delay.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Having to deal with that.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
For the first time was super interesting and like a
fun hurdle because like that's a stadium.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Like whenever you're in a stadium, like what about like MetLife.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, so most stadiums, I guess, when like Taylor Swift
goes into an arena, she has her own like sound engineer,
so they like fix the delay and all that stuff.
They have the top of the line equipment. But when
it's just like an NFL game, they have their in
house stuff, so normally at any sort of game like
that there will be a delay.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Didn't bother me as much.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
It was it's trippy.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Like we have a video of when we were rehearsing
and it was like my dad was like up on
the field with us, so you could hear our voice
and then hear it come in and my dad was
like I couldn't tell if it was actually good or
not because it was like two things happening at once, right, Yeah, Yeah,
it was fun.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Experience.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I feel like there's so much though that happens like
behind the scene that like is challenging that. For example,
like you guys are pro, so you go on and
new crush it, but nobody knows like, oh there's an echo,
Like yeah, It's like that would totally trip me up.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I can't even Like if I'm on a phone call
and somebody else is on.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
A phone call and I can't hear myself talk, I'm like,
I don't even know what I'm saying. Is there anything
else on a stage when you're performing that like maybe
the audience obviously the audience doysn't.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, but like what are you super mindful of Oh,
that's a good question question.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
I feel like sometimes when you're on stage, you kind
of not almost don't see the crowd, but you're so
focused and intend like you know what you're supposed to do.
It's so rehearsed, and so you don't really know what's
going on. You almost black out. But then sometimes when
you're talking, you kind of look and then you're like,
oh my gosh, I'm on stage, and then you start
to realize where you.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Are and you're like, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
And so you like see like like fans like doing
like holding up their phones and they're like, oh, let
me take a second to like, I don't know, talk
to this fan or just like say hi, or like
take a picture or something. But I feel like sometimes
it's like I am super mindful about the fans that
are in the Cloud crowd, and then sometimes I'm completely
like blackness black like okay, robot mode. That's so interesting,
(23:27):
I think for us because this was our last two shows.
This was one of the first few times we performed
in front of our audience, and so we had for
months obviously practiced, but then doing it on the stage
was super different because we have dance trends to all
of our songs, and so we would do the trend
and then you look out and you see like all
of our fans doing it with us, and that was
(23:48):
like mind flowing.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And that's another genius marketing techt Okay, I'm like, wow,
give me like the marketing place book. I feel like
that's not so I mean, it's fascinating. Right when you
think about like the inner workings of like everything you
guys are doing to like promote yourself, get the fans engaged,
it is so cool.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
The business that you guys are.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And you guys are so young and you're so humble,
but it's very impressive.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Thank you. What you're doing is impressive too. Yeah, quite
a nice dude.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
You guys also have a lot of like Puerto Rican
like Spanish followers because you're sing in Spanish.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Lat Right.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
We just did around with Fernanda and Menace and a
post run high And what I was so fascinated by
what she said was in Uruguay, it was so unusual
to be on social media and like blow up the
way she did. But like for the US, our friends
don't really think anything of it because it's so normal, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, I think it's accepted here more maybe, Yeah, but
it's cool to like also travel because when we've been
to Puerto Rico twice to film two music videos for
our bilingual songs, and so also just like getting stopped
in Puerto Rico or just and I mean I was
gonna say it's going to be the same when we're
on the world tour, but obviously, I mean they're coming
to our concept. But yeah, it's just so cool how
you can kind to people around the world. Yeah, and
(25:01):
people that like don't even speak the same language, Like
we'll get comments where they've translated so we can understand,
but they don't speak the same language as us, but
they're their fans. So I think it's just so cool.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Our dad is Puerto Rican. We're fifty percent Puerto Rican.
So our Abella like she was born there, so was
our grandfather, and so like going back to Puerto Rico
because we had just heard stories, you know, of our
grandma growing up there what it was like, and so
to see it for the first time was it's so
beautiful there, And to like write music. So we didn't
(25:31):
grow up speaking Spanish because when our dad like was
living here, it was not as like normalized or as
accepted to be a minority, and so now it's like
much more embraced. But for him, like he didn't really
want to connect with that part of himself a lot,
so that kind of translated into the way that he
raised us in a way.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
So we never grew up speaking Spanish.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
But we wish we learned.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
I never were trying to learn that.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
So now it's so cool that we're able to like
connect with that part of ourselves and we're doing it
for music.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Yeah, through music.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I mean, that's a great way to learn the language.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
But right now you're not fluent in Spanish, but some
of your songs are bilingual.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
How impresses is that?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Like you have to give kudos to yourself for that?
So fun?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah, it's actually really fun to write in Spanish. We
have our producer, he's Brazilian, so he knows a little
bit of Spanish, like Portuguese and Spanish are a little similar,
so he helps us out sometimes, and then we'll go
to our dad for pronunciation of some words. Yeah, and
then we'll also like the final bosses are will and like.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
You said, and we're like, how does the sound?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, exactly, Well, I love it because I think it's
so important, like to connect with your roots, because that's
like showing like a personal side of yourselves to your
art and like exactly that you're creating.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So it's cool that you guys integrate that.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And I don't know if Porto Rico is considered Latin American,
but what I was going to say is the Latin
American fans go so hard.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yes they do.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yeah, they like Brazil and Portray. Yeah we like.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, that is so impressive.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
What would your advice be for other young girls that
look to you guys as role models, because I know
so many young girls.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I would say, honestly, the main thing is to just
if you have a dream, like, just go after it
no matter what.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I started like with a dream of performing when I was.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Six, and so there was a lot of like trial
and yes and lots of no's as well, and so
I didn't realize that down the road it would be
like the three of us doing it together. But I
would have never expected that we'd like now be going
on a world tour and do this like for a living.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
So I would say, just like, never take no for.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
An answer, and keep going no matter what because you
have no idea what the future holds, so just like
keep going after it.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
That's what I would say.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I might say something along the lines of I think
just that it's so important to base your happiness and
your confidence on your own self and just don't try
not to get caught up clinging to external validation or
other people's opinions or even success or numbers to fill
(27:58):
your own cup. I think it's I think as you
get older, and as I'm getting older, it's more easy
to distinguish that really true happiness only comes from within
and inner peace. So I think just really try and
focus on how you can love yourself regardless of what's
going on around you and the people around you, and
you know, the outside success man.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
To end us off, I guess I'll share like two
quotes that I'm like in love with right now.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
One is I can.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Do hard things, which is very selfish.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Yeah, I like that one.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
And then the other one is you can't add days
to your life, but you can add life to your days.
And I think that's just it inspires me to just
live in the moment more because we're doing all these
amazing things. But if I don't truly take it in,
then I won't even it'll pass me by.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, yeah, seriously, and like take a second to be
on that stage on these world tours and like really
look at your fans and take selfies with them and
then just breathe it in, because how freaking cool is
that right now? You guys are so young and you're
on stage performing for all of these people showing up
for you.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
It is absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
On that note, let's just shout out your upcoming projects,
tour dates that are coming up. At your single that
you guys released and performed this morning, lay it down
for us?
Speaker 5 (29:10):

Speaker 3 (01:16):
We're good, We're excited to be here.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's cold.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's really cold because you guys are from Orlando, Florida, right, yeah, yeah,
so you guys came on the coldest week in New York.
I actually just got back from La so I was
like set for not having a cold winter, and then
because of the fires, we had to come.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Back, and I'm like, it's just too extreme. Ye, fires
and seizing weather are used.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
To like sixty degrees being the low.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I think I like the cold, though, Like when I visit,
I think I like it, but then I think if
I lived here, I wouldn't different from the grass is
greener kind of things exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Talk to me about what you guys are doing in
New York.
Speaker 3 (01:53):

talking about our world tour that's and our new EP

it's so crazy to be able to say if you
guys are going on a world tour.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yes, it's your first world tour, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
First world tour. We were just saying how we just
got passports like we've been to the Bahamas. I think
that's technically out of the country, but that's it. So
we're gonna be traveling for the first time on a
world tour.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'm so excited for you guys, because not only do
you get to travel and like leave the country and
see the most amazing places, but you get to do
it with your sisters.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yes, Like, how cool is that?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Sona, It's gonna be your whole family. So our mom

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Wait, and I saw that your older brother, Kyle, right, yeah,
has two daughters.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah okay, so we.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Have two nieces.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You've got like built in super fans.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah yeah. Oh it's so cute.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
What place are you most excited to perform in.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I've always wanted to go to Watchusralia, so we're going
to be there performing in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. So
I'm excited for that. Hopefully there aren't like too many
spiders I've heard, that's what I was Have you been
to Australia no, I haven't, but.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I do have to say, like, well, you're gonna be
completely fine obsessed with Australia. When I went to college,
I was considering studying there. I was choosing between London,
where I ended up going. I did like London Florence,
and the other place was like Australia. We're kind of
the big programs that kids in our school did. And
I called it my older brother. I have an older
brother and a twin and I called it my older brother.
And I was like, yeah, I'm thinking about going to Australia.
(03:32):
And he was like, Kate, do you know how big
the spiders are there? And I'm like so bad with
like bugs in general, and just like things like that.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But that's funny that you said that. It just made
me think of that.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Fine, sure, I'm excited.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I hope we get to go to like the Irwin Zoo,
like Steve Irwin Bindi Irwin.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
They have like the family Zoo.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
They have the zoo there in Australia.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I don't know what city it did, but I want
to go and like hold the koalas. Yeah, boys wanted
to Yeah, yeah, I think actually coolers are pretty vicious
and kangaroos.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Apparently they're so strong.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
I've seen videos of like them just being so mean.
I'm like, I thought you were supposed to be nice.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I look so fluffy.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, I swear like the cutest animals are the most deceiving.
But regardless, Australia will be amazing. The wildlife is so cool.
I feel like it's just so cool in general to
like see wildlife and like be around that stuff, because
like in the US, I mean I'm in New York.
You guys are in Florida. I mean, you guys have
some wildlife, but it's more like.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Lizards, right, yeah, yeah, kind of haters.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, some weird looking birds.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'm not a bird person.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
She was just saying she's really not looking forward to well,
she's looking forward to it, but she's nervous about like
London and Paris because her biggest fear is birds, and
there's pigeons everywhere.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
There's pigeons here, though, Yeah, I get scared here. I
don't know what it is, but like I have to
cover my ears when I see a bird because I'm
scared it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Like fly by me or like over your head.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I don't know what the fear stemmed from but yeah,
I'm scared of birds.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I think that's a real fear. Yeah, hopefully your sisters
don't like poor like we're not looking.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, we'll have to do something. Yeah, maybe we'll make
a video about it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, okay, but that's really exciting. So world tour coming up.
You're going all over. Where are the different locations? So
you said Australia, London, where else?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
So we start in London, then we'll do Paris, Amsterdam,
will have Germany, and then we'll come to North America
and we'll do we have a Toronto show, which I'm
excited about, then New York, Orlando, Dallas, Chicago, LA. And
then we'll end in Australia.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Oh my god. And how long is this whole like
tour taking.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
It's about three months, yeah, because we're giving ourselves some
time of between, yeah, and to like see the city.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You know you have to give yourself time to explore.
But so like three months. I thought you were gonna
say six months.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh no, yeah, we're getting be done.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
I think we'll do probably two or three shows a weekend,
so then we'll have the week to like travel and
explore and then we'll perform.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
On the weekends.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
To be able to perform two shows a weekend. How
how were you guys building your stamina? Like, what does
your training look like outside of singing to get ready?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, we kind of think of it as because we're
fans of K pop. Yeah, so watched like the Newcat
Side documentary and Effex and we're doing our own K
pop Academy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So it's the singing and the running and stretching. Also,
I'm not good at stretching. I just always like to
skip that step, but stretching, and then Maul is our choreographer,
so she comes up with all the dances.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah that's impressive because you guys are known for your dancing.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah, we'll be dancing throughout the whole show.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
So each song we have a pretty full out dance.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
So I would say also big part is like vocal health.
So we have like nebulizers which like hydrates your vocal cords.
So it's just like maintaining vocal health while we're on tour.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I mean, yeah, it makes total sense.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I had like a Broadway singer on here that is
Alphaba and Wicked, and that was like what she was
talking about. And it was funny because I saw her
at the gym yesterday and she's been like saving her
voice for her shows. Do you guys think you'll do
a little bit of that, like during the week.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
We might have to go on vocal rest, which is
what you would do if like you're like kind of
losing your voice or want to save it for a show.
But yeah, that's something we're nervous about, is if we
lose our voice or get it, I.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Might have to use if I don't want to talk
to somebody.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Sorry, Okay, Well, we're gonna come back to the world
tour and everything that you guys have coming up that
like everybody can kind of be on the.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Lookout for figure out where to buy tickets for.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
But first, what I'm really curious about is I want
to know your story. I'm so curious about how you
guys got your start, how Triple Charm came to be.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Take me back to the beginning.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Yeah, we grew up as competitive dancers, so we've always
been on the stage and loved entertainment, and so we
all three started when we were like two years old,
and so Amalia started us off in singing because she
went into theater and did what's called like the rep
and it was like a local theater and performing arts program,
(07:54):
and so me and Rayna kind of joined in when
watching Amalia kind of pursue that.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, watching her for a while, she was in the car,
We're doing warm ups, and when you're not the one participating,
it is so annoying. You just got to the radio.
So eventually we joined her and we're all in the
car doing our g yeah, our parents. Yeah, but yeah,
I think after watching her for a while, she just
inspired me and Gabbity try it. And then we went
(08:19):
to it's called the World Championships of Performing Arts, which
is like the Olympics for performing arts. All the countries
come and compete and singing, dancing, acting. So we did
it individually and then we also competed as a trio,
and I think just doing it as a trio, we
had so much fun and we were like could we
do something with this, Like could we do this for longer?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, that was in twenty nineteen when we did that.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's kind of when we got the idea to start.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Then we I think in twenty nineteen we wrote our
first single and then we were like, Okay, we have
this music video that we worked super hard for, Like
we we went to La to film that video, and
so we were.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Like, oh my gosh, it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
On YouTube posted We're like, who's gonna watch it? People
to watch this video, And so that's what initially started.
When we started posting on social media was right around COVID.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So you guys started posting as Triple Charm.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Like it wasn't like you started out by posting dance
videos and then became Triple Charm.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
No, it started as Triple Charm.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But you guys, you realize how crazy it is.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Though I don't know what your official following is on Instagram,
I'm sure it's wild as well, but just I've been
so focused on YouTube recently, so I was looking at
your YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Twenty nineteen is not that long ago. You guys went
from zero to over twelve million in that many years.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Crazy.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
We went through a lot of techniques. So, like in
the beginning, we did this thing called Operation Rally Up,
which was on Instagram. We would go through like similar
artists or people that we thought their audience would like us,
and we would go through their list of followers and
like their posts and common.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Yeah, like hey, check out our new single.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I don't know, like just try to like promo ourselves.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
It was called Operation Rally Up because that was our
single at.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
The time, called Rally Up. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
So yeah, we would literally I think we got to
like seven thousand followers on Instagram doing exactly. But that
was like some labor we had to put it.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
We each did an hour a day.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Yeah, for like a few months, you were going to
your favorite artists and then you were looking at their
followers and sending d ms for an hour a day
each to them saying listen to our single.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
You just like their post, just comment on their photos
and say like, oh, like we have a single out
stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
And so I remember at one point I think TikTok
like stopped us from commenting because they were like, you're
commenting too much. But if we were not stamming, we
were just like realized.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
You could just post a video and then they'll come
to you, right right.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Who came up with that initial initiative, I don't even know.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I think I think it was our dad, Yeah, probably probably.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, because he's like in marketing and stuff and it's funny.
He's now with us full time, but initially he was
at his corporate job and during his lunch break he
would call us and talk to us. Yeah yeah, yeah,
in a big help.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And it makes sense like if your dad's been in
the industry, he's kind of like, Okay, here's like a
good kind of technique.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Keep be doing game out there.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But on top of that, you guys grew such an
organically big following. What was the first video that went
like mega viral for you that was like the maybe
the start of the turning point of your career.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, I think there.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Was like a few moments that happened. So first we
started on Instagram reels and so one of the first
videos we posted was us dancing in the rain and
that got like a million views and we were like,
oh my gosh, like we made it, like this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
So that was the first moment for us. I was
like wow.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
And then YouTube can we started on YouTube. I do
remember well, I think I remember the one that was
like one of the biggest. Okay, so YouTube. We started
posting on shorts right when I was in beta. So
we did the same thing with Instagram right when we
knew that they were coming out with Reels. We were like,
we're gonna get on it right away posted. I think
when Reels came out, we posted three videos a day
(12:03):
for a few months, like straight and then same thing
with YouTube. We did one video a day and the
one that went like super viral. I think it had
like one hundred million views. It was this filter where like, oh,
I don't know if it was like a line girls
like goes across and it freeze frames as it's moving. Yeah,
And so we did one and it was like turning
(12:23):
into Superman?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
So like, was it me on the ben?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yes, it was an allusion to where it looked like
I was floating in the air.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yeah, that one got like at least one hundred million views. Yeah,
that was the first one to really blow up.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
So yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, you really figured out how to foster engagement online
and then you know, blow your blow it up.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Like how cool is that? We Does anybody ever say this?
Because I literally just thought of this. Do you guys
know like the Powerpuff Girls?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yes, especially the hair the hair colors.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, I just immediately thought it that because I was like,
I don't know all their names but it would be
like Bubble Buttercup has the brown hair as Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
That's literally you guys.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I feel like that'd be a funny like outphit on
stage to like lean in, Yeah, I don't know, what
are your outphits on stage kind of look like?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Have you guys thought about that for the witer So.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
We did two shows last year.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
We did one at the Grammar Sya and one at
the Roxy in La and so those were super fun
and so our mom styled us for those.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
It's like performance outfits because obviously we're dancing.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Full out and we had like a quick change in
the middle, like during intermission, So that's super fun.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
We do like two looks every night.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
So I feel like the looks are so important, right
because when I think about like Sabrina Carpenter, I think
about that cute little like yeah exactly, I don't know,
like the the dazzled outfit. So yeah, I feel like
that's such a fun component of performing it is. How
did you guys initially get the name Triple Charm.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Well, for this competition that we were entering, we had
the group name, so really we were grinding to try
and think of something. Yeah, and we had a few
very names.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
That we were like dating on.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
But I actually chose one, but it ended up already
being a group. Yeah, triple charm. I guess just we
were the triple for there's three of us, and I
guess like people have always called us a triple threat
because the singing dancing actor.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Again, triple.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Charms, I don't know, kind of like were each other's
good luck charm.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, doing it together.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
So it just it just worked.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I guess I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think it's such a cute name, and I feel
like you can do so much like fun marketing that's
just like so girly around it. What is it like
working with your sisters? Is there like one troublemaker in
the group, you know, like who is like steering the
pot the most out of the three of you?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Give me the tea on the family dynamic Okay, Yeah,
I think Amalia and Raina are the ones that like
butt heads the most when it comes to content because
Amalie is very efficient, She wants to, you know, do
it as fast as possible, wants the schedule very organized.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Rain is more like, can't.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
We just do it on the profession, So the quality
control it's good exactly. I guess that's where we're different.
But we've learned to work together, and I honestly appreciate
her now because even like on Instagram and stories, I'm
so bad because I'll take like thirty minutes for one
story and she'll have done ten in five minutes.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
So there's we definitely like through learning the past four
or five years.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
We each have our own strengths.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
So I come up with like the content and the choreography,
and then Raina edits all of our videos and post
them and then Gabby replies to comments. So these are fashionista,
so she helps the mom with the style, large designs
and the heart sy things.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, and Gabby, I just have to say I said
this when you walked in. But my favorite thing about
looking at your guys's channel is because it's like, you
guys are so young, especially Gabby, like, and when I
was looking, I was like looking at your oldest videos
just to see like, okay, when did they start posting
on social media?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Because I was like twelve million followers. It's no joke,
you know, like you've got people that take ten years.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Before like figuring out how to you know, get that
mass get a mass following like that, so I was like, wow,
like when did they start?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
And Gabby, you were so little And it's so fun
to look back because I'm like, it's a diary. I
just go back and you look at these journals trees,
and I'm like, I was so young, so tiny.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
It's crazy the juxtaposition. And I feel like we like
forget about it. But like ten to fifteen, like you
became like a young adult like in last years, you know.
So I'm curious what has it been like specifically for
you growing up on YouTube from such a young age.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I think there was like an age around like thirteen
where most kids either like choose to.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Quit whatever they're doing or like go full on, like
do it go home or do it? I don't know
what's the sound that's what I was thinking of.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
But I just loved entertaining and what we were doing
together was so fun. I think even from a young age,
I knew that's what I wanted to do. But yeah,
I feel like so many people say they watched me
grow up, and I think that's so special it is.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
And it's also like you were doing it with your
older sisters, which I feel like makes it that much
more comfortable, you know, And then I'm curious about with
you guys, like what has.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
It been like?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I think for me, I remember being super young and
my dad wouldn't let me have social media. I asked
for an Instagram and he was like, not until you're
the right age, because like all my friends had it,
and I was like, come on, please, dad, Like I'm
still not even allowed to have Snapchat.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
But anyway, so.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You guys need to be on Snapchat. We have more
the group on, but you can make a lot of
money on.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
So yeah, so I've like always wanted to be on it,
just like for fun, like to see my friends and stuff.
So now that we're like doing it as a job almost,
it's so crazy and it's so much fun. And I
will say, like watching Gabby grow up, it's crazy because.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It's the cutest thing. Yeah, it's literally the cutest thing.
I'm like, literally I was watching the videos chronologically, just
like watching you get old.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
It's crazy funny because I feel the same age as
I did. Then I'm like, I didn't change, but then
I look back and we were so different.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah you don't notice it, you know, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, I'm just rightful Dad didn't let us go on
social media because we would have white an interesting digital footprint.
So really, thank goodness, I'll just have to say I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, what did your friends think when you guys started
popping off online? For me?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I think initially because initially I was in school when
we started Triple Charm, and so they were supportive, which
I'm lucky. I guess there's no like bullying or anything.
They were honestly really supportive and they thought it was cool,
but it was still kind of smaller back then, like
we were just starting. And then I think when I
started blowing up, we started doing online school, so I
(18:26):
wasn't like in school. But then my friends that I
like stayed connected with, they just thought it was so
cool and they would text me like congratulations. But it's
interesting because they didn't never seem to like be that fased.
I guess it's just like the age we've grown up
and like, I don't know, they just didn't seem to
be that face, which is cool, like to have friends
that you're the same with.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I think I also has to do with like a
lot of our best friends were from dance, so we
competitively danced together, and so we were kind of like
in that world almost in a way at the same time,
like all dancing together, so it seemed like pretty natural
for us to do something like that, and they knew
that we were singing and all that stuff. So all
my friends now even are so supportive, Like we sang
for the Tampa Bay Bucks game, like.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Yeah, yeah, that was that and itself was like a
crazy story, so many stories.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
What is the story I need to know? And was
this the first like crazy like performance that you guys did.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Well, first time ever sing the national anthem together?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And that's a feat Like that's hard, right, yeah, yeah, okay,
talk to me.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
About So we had prepped for it.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
We went to a Bucks game like a few years ago.
It's like film videos and we were like, oh, by
the way, if you ever need to sing the anthem,
like we'll totally do it. And then they had reached
out for this season and so we had practice. We
got in our arrangement done like it's full of harmonies,
and we get there it's like, this is the first
time in a big stadium that we've sang, Like we
(19:49):
did our shows, but those are like five hundred six
hundred seats, and so the delay that happens when you sing,
it's like you sing and then a second and a.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Half later you hear your own voice. It's so trippy.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah, that is, but if we had so they're called
in ears, but they're basically just like earbuds, so we
could hear we didn't have to hear the delay as much.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Like the delay a little bit, and so that was
super helpful because you're able to like tune into your
own voice and like what's coming directly, but if you
like lose focus for even a second, you'll hear the delight.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
And it was so trippy.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Yeah, but we had like a dress rehearsal, Yeah, and
it was great. Every now and then I did hear
like a chip in my ear, but it wasn't too bad.
And then, oh, and everyone was hyping this up because
I guess this was the first time, at least at
the Tampa Bay Bucks that they were broadcasting the national
anthem across all.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Fox Box Sports Sunday every NFL.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, so they were like hyping this up. So we were
nervous and then we get out there. It's a big crowd.
I'm honestly trying not to look at all the people.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yeah, you can't. You can't look at people. You just
have to like focus on getting the job.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
It's like me and the camera. We're in this together.
It's just me, and.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Then you take it in after the fact. So then
like once I finished singing, I looked over, Oh my gosh, there's.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
So many people here.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
But we started singing, and then me and Rena couldn't
hear for like the first note, and so we were like, wow,
we didn't even know if we were in time. They
were like oh oh, But like.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
It was muscle memory. At this point. We had practiced
it so much so.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
We're able to get through it and it ended up
sounding really great. But it was just like such a
wild experience. Like the delay.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Having to deal with that.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
For the first time was super interesting and like a
fun hurdle because like that's a stadium.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Like whenever you're in a stadium, like what about like MetLife.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, so most stadiums, I guess, when like Taylor Swift
goes into an arena, she has her own like sound engineer,
so they like fix the delay and all that stuff.
They have the top of the line equipment. But when
it's just like an NFL game, they have their in
house stuff, so normally at any sort of game like
that there will be a delay.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Didn't bother me as much.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
It was it's trippy.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Like we have a video of when we were rehearsing
and it was like my dad was like up on
the field with us, so you could hear our voice
and then hear it come in and my dad was
like I couldn't tell if it was actually good or
not because it was like two things happening at once, right, Yeah, Yeah,
it was fun.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Experience.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I feel like there's so much though that happens like
behind the scene that like is challenging that. For example,
like you guys are pro, so you go on and
new crush it, but nobody knows like, oh there's an echo,
Like yeah, It's like that would totally trip me up.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I can't even Like if I'm on a phone call
and somebody else is on.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
A phone call and I can't hear myself talk, I'm like,
I don't even know what I'm saying. Is there anything
else on a stage when you're performing that like maybe
the audience obviously the audience doysn't.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, but like what are you super mindful of Oh,
that's a good question question.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
I feel like sometimes when you're on stage, you kind
of not almost don't see the crowd, but you're so
focused and intend like you know what you're supposed to do.
It's so rehearsed, and so you don't really know what's
going on. You almost black out. But then sometimes when
you're talking, you kind of look and then you're like,
oh my gosh, I'm on stage, and then you start
to realize where you.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Are and you're like, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
And so you like see like like fans like doing
like holding up their phones and they're like, oh, let
me take a second to like, I don't know, talk
to this fan or just like say hi, or like
take a picture or something. But I feel like sometimes
it's like I am super mindful about the fans that
are in the Cloud crowd, and then sometimes I'm completely
like blackness black like okay, robot mode. That's so interesting,
(23:27):
I think for us because this was our last two shows.
This was one of the first few times we performed
in front of our audience, and so we had for
months obviously practiced, but then doing it on the stage
was super different because we have dance trends to all
of our songs, and so we would do the trend
and then you look out and you see like all
of our fans doing it with us, and that was
(23:48):
like mind flowing.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And that's another genius marketing techt Okay, I'm like, wow,
give me like the marketing place book. I feel like
that's not so I mean, it's fascinating. Right when you
think about like the inner workings of like everything you
guys are doing to like promote yourself, get the fans engaged,
it is so cool.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
The business that you guys are.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And you guys are so young and you're so humble,
but it's very impressive.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Thank you. What you're doing is impressive too. Yeah, quite
a nice dude.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
You guys also have a lot of like Puerto Rican
like Spanish followers because you're sing in Spanish.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Lat Right.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
We just did around with Fernanda and Menace and a
post run high And what I was so fascinated by
what she said was in Uruguay, it was so unusual
to be on social media and like blow up the
way she did. But like for the US, our friends
don't really think anything of it because it's so normal, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, I think it's accepted here more maybe, Yeah, but
it's cool to like also travel because when we've been
to Puerto Rico twice to film two music videos for
our bilingual songs, and so also just like getting stopped
in Puerto Rico or just and I mean I was
gonna say it's going to be the same when we're
on the world tour, but obviously, I mean they're coming
to our concept. But yeah, it's just so cool how
you can kind to people around the world. Yeah, and
(25:01):
people that like don't even speak the same language, Like
we'll get comments where they've translated so we can understand,
but they don't speak the same language as us, but
they're their fans. So I think it's just so cool.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Our dad is Puerto Rican. We're fifty percent Puerto Rican.
So our Abella like she was born there, so was
our grandfather, and so like going back to Puerto Rico
because we had just heard stories, you know, of our
grandma growing up there what it was like, and so
to see it for the first time was it's so
beautiful there, And to like write music. So we didn't
(25:31):
grow up speaking Spanish because when our dad like was
living here, it was not as like normalized or as
accepted to be a minority, and so now it's like
much more embraced. But for him, like he didn't really
want to connect with that part of himself a lot,
so that kind of translated into the way that he
raised us in a way.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
So we never grew up speaking Spanish.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
But we wish we learned.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
I never were trying to learn that.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
So now it's so cool that we're able to like
connect with that part of ourselves and we're doing it
for music.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Yeah, through music.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I mean, that's a great way to learn the language.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
But right now you're not fluent in Spanish, but some
of your songs are bilingual.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
How impresses is that?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Like you have to give kudos to yourself for that?
So fun?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah, it's actually really fun to write in Spanish. We
have our producer, he's Brazilian, so he knows a little
bit of Spanish, like Portuguese and Spanish are a little similar,
so he helps us out sometimes, and then we'll go
to our dad for pronunciation of some words. Yeah, and
then we'll also like the final bosses are will and like.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
You said, and we're like, how does the sound?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, exactly, Well, I love it because I think it's
so important, like to connect with your roots, because that's
like showing like a personal side of yourselves to your
art and like exactly that you're creating.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So it's cool that you guys integrate that.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And I don't know if Porto Rico is considered Latin American,
but what I was going to say is the Latin
American fans go so hard.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yes they do.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yeah, they like Brazil and Portray. Yeah we like.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, that is so impressive.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
What would your advice be for other young girls that
look to you guys as role models, because I know
so many young girls.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I would say, honestly, the main thing is to just
if you have a dream, like, just go after it
no matter what.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I started like with a dream of performing when I was.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Six, and so there was a lot of like trial
and yes and lots of no's as well, and so
I didn't realize that down the road it would be
like the three of us doing it together. But I
would have never expected that we'd like now be going
on a world tour and do this like for a living.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
So I would say, just like, never take no for.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
An answer, and keep going no matter what because you
have no idea what the future holds, so just like
keep going after it.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
That's what I would say.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I might say something along the lines of I think
just that it's so important to base your happiness and
your confidence on your own self and just don't try
not to get caught up clinging to external validation or
other people's opinions or even success or numbers to fill
(27:58):
your own cup. I think it's I think as you
get older, and as I'm getting older, it's more easy
to distinguish that really true happiness only comes from within
and inner peace. So I think just really try and
focus on how you can love yourself regardless of what's
going on around you and the people around you, and
you know, the outside success man.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
To end us off, I guess I'll share like two
quotes that I'm like in love with right now.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
One is I can.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Do hard things, which is very selfish.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Yeah, I like that one.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
And then the other one is you can't add days
to your life, but you can add life to your days.
And I think that's just it inspires me to just
live in the moment more because we're doing all these
amazing things. But if I don't truly take it in,
then I won't even it'll pass me by.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, yeah, seriously, and like take a second to be
on that stage on these world tours and like really
look at your fans and take selfies with them and
then just breathe it in, because how freaking cool is
that right now? You guys are so young and you're
on stage performing for all of these people showing up
for you.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
It is absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
On that note, let's just shout out your upcoming projects,
tour dates that are coming up. At your single that
you guys released and performed this morning, lay it down
for us?
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Okay, Yeah, you can stream our ep Undercover and Love everywhere.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
It's out now on all streaming platforms.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Who's your favorite, and then come see us on our
