00:00 - Rema, congratulations on being nominated tonight.

00:03 How does it feel to be here at the VMAs?

00:06 - It's a blessing.

00:07 I thank God for the grace to be here,

00:08 to be around amazing people

00:12 that have inspired me over time, yeah, yeah.

00:14 - Correct me if I'm wrong,

00:16 but I read that in your earlier times,

00:18 you used to sneak into a studio to make music,

00:21 and now you're here on a larger scale.

00:25 What advice do you have for young Rema?

00:28 - Just believe in yourself.

00:30 First thing, be true to yourself, be true to your sound.

00:34 Don't try and copy no one.

00:36 If you're trying to copy, make it better.

00:38 And keep real ones around you,

00:40 people who tell you if it's good or if it's not good.

00:43 And I feel like what's most important

00:46 is that you stay grounded with every level you get.

00:49 Stay grounded and keep the family close, that's it.

00:52 - What projects do you have

00:53 that you're excited to share with us, if any?

00:56 - Projects, small bangers, I never lie.

01:00 When I say more bangers, I mean more bangers, that's it.
