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?

2:32That'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, maybe this too, because 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 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 in 2020 july 2024 and since that july i haven't been on stage like no with a shovel mine but bonnie was in medellin so i sing with him one of what would like a song that we have together but not me on stage performing like a full show and this is crazy because I love my fans and now you're headlining Coachella and I'm headlining yeah I'm gonna present like actually I'm going to present these 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 a while or does it come back immediately naturally I'm more than nervous I'm like I need to be on stage I love stage.

4:05Like 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 to have a purpose is the most important thing. Even when we started like talking about the creative details of the show, I was like, let's start from the message. because 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.

4:50But 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.

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 duet songs so at that time I think I was very into the music so when I grew up I like I studied music I studied like different instruments violin I started like drums I started like electric guitar actually I got in love really with my voice that's the instrument that I love the most but everything just was guiding me that this is what I really want to do there's another part of me that I wanted to be a motorcycle rider professional like i love motorcycles and that's my hobby dude i love sitting with artists because it's always something like that like it's always like if i wasn't gonna do this then i was gonna do and then it's something so random that i'm like what do you drive motorcycles yeah i love you have to come okay with me on the back of your bike uh-huh really be shot a moment like riding motorcycles in medley in colombia you're gonna 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 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 i thought you were gonna 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 gonna 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 l 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 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 and I said we 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 asked to sign a contract to start like a artistic process my parents they asked me do you want this or you do and actually I at the time I said like this is interesting like I wanna understand how this is about like my father showed me the movie of Selena Quintanilla 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 the confidence exactly and yeah my parents signed that contract and I started working.

11:11Before 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? 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 at a table calling and to different places and I was like hi um you're talking with the with Carol G 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 gonna call you later on to my father Would you change your voice?

12:02Yeah. Okay, I'm calling. Hi, I want to talk with Carol G. Hello. We're calling from this Carol G team, and we're asking you to, of course, we're showing. She had this great music. She's Latina. She can sing in school. She can sing in, 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 artists. 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 you're a saleswoman no but no at the time it worked like we did a lot of schools universities it was girl you have to work it and you have to like whether you pretend you have a fake assistant or whatever it is sometimes it'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 reggaeton in the beginning right which is a male dominated 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 felt like always like a negotiation um i was very blessed that i have my father on the road with me but actually even having him by my side there were so many things that they were like fucked up like uh I don't know for me it's it's I just feel like I feel grateful because I had those experiences and now I feel that I have to speak for all my women community but 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 how and what you have to sell to have a position and of course if you are in a room of like full of a respected man 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 And I hated that.

15:04I hated everything. And I hated it. It almost made me hate what I do. It almost made me hate my music and everything. So it was hard. Yeah, it was hard. Yeah. 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.

15:42And 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 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 because sometimes you you want to say things but you don't find a way or you don't have this I 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 but please just take me out of this like uh help me I I don't feel comfortable And I just asked my father, please take me out of here.

16:55And he was my father. He had to pay a lot. He worked a lot of years just to pay what it cost to be out of that contract. But I moved to New York to an aunt's house. And my father was very concerned about, why are you doing this to me? He felt that it was kind of something that I wanted to do. You know, like we say in Espanol, un capricho. I don't know how to say it in English, but it's kind of if it was something that I don't want this anymore and I just want to start a new thing. But in the deep, deep, really deep situation, I could never explain. But he just believed in that he didn't want to do that.

17:36I think something you said to 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 were like a first experience even in mind and situation that I never before spoke about.

18:20Everything was new. So I was like, how I explain this if I don't know even if people leave 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 it's it's something that you it's there's no explanation but 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 because you you think there is a this is the way or whatever it doesn't there's never gonna be the way that that's gonna make you lose time and that's gonna to make you lose yourself and i learned that like later on and sometimes like yeah i'm really a nice person that i love but there's people that can sit in a chair and say like oh that bitch yeah you think that she's really goodbye but she's not like i'm gonna say i'm gonna 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 gonna be sitting with someone I'm gonna say hi I'm gonna be very polite but that's just gonna it doesn't we won't gonna cross the line of if you respect me or not and I learned that really late yeah but you 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 like giving ourselves grace when we go through something for the first time as women.

20:26We 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 OK. 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.

20:59But 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 the craziest thing about it that then like living life i just knew a lot of a lot of girls that they had 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 because uh it's it's kind of it 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 wants 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 gonna speak to the camera this message goes to the parents too because actually the communication start at home and if you're telling like no no no don't do that men they do that no no no don't hold that because like actually men do that no 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 of our 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 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.

22:57And 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 because 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 personally like enjoy like you're part of this and i just hope you learn you're yeah you know you're you can watch me on stage at coachella i'll be on the main stage where are you bitch yeah a little bit like that a little bit like that for you carol exactly you're like yeah yeah better

Your career really starts taking off. And then you start collaborating with some major artists and your album Mañana Cera Bonito it broke so many records it's crazy how were you feeling emotionally when your career really just started to take off you know what like uh even we did this stadium tour with Mañana Cera Bonito and right now I have the same stadiums as a bucket list for my next tour It's crazy because you leave it and your brain is like kind of not ready for it.

26:47It 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 that amount of people that they made these 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 dude 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?

27:26I think they were part of the rebellion. Of course, they started like being just feelings that Danny was part of the rebellion. and my only way to speak was about like through my music and I always feel like uh Carol G is a really good artist and a really good uh musician but uh heartbreak it like heartbroken Carol G girl get ready that's that's something crazy because like that's when like my superpower comes out like i'm gonna 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 because the our body hates pain so we all our brain is going to be like oh yeah this is bad but remember when he was nice this time and you're 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 a no 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 because if not i'm gonna fail every relationship now i know that because uh when When you start having a relationship with a person, you need from the beginning to set things that they're like this.

29:33You have your life. You have your life. You do things this way. You do things this way. It's two people that complements each other. But when you start 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 so you don't love yourself and you don't you're not able to love the other person and and everything is still 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 i know you're doing exactly set the boundaries exactly so from the beginning you start like doing things because 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 strong 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 yeah girl yeah you're i feel you i feel you hard on that i think all of us all of are like and yes yes yes so i need to buy my love is that a word yeah it does if you got i need to learn how to defy a love that keeps going out but it stills coming in because are you a romantic the most corny romantic girl and 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 yeah but then they're like treating you like shit 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 love of course and perform them to them of course 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 do the player with the cassette inside and i left the house we don't know like listen to this for you did he text you and say i'm madly in love with you Yeah, of course.

32:26Yeah, that was cute. That was cute. 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, she was having this specific moment in her life. 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 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.

33:18And I think that's why the song became so big. It was really genuine about how she was feeling and how I was feeling 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 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 no there's not a door not even a window not even a nothing there's not nothing there's i'm done it's like a uh you you have to notice that i'm trying too hard to put this together because 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 bichota for anyone who isn't familiar can you please explain what it means to be a bichota uh you know it's still like we have this specific word in spanish un capo we say un capo to um a person that is really good at something like for example messy as un capo you know we say like that it's like kind of his a bichote uh and it's the same meaning it's for they used to use it for a narco person but it became like a a heavy word that represents like a heavy personality so i loved that for bichota and now there is bichotas and bichotas 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.

35:27You 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 Rihanna, Selena Quintanilla, and Carolina, that it's me. And actually people I know, they understand like they can feel that it's really weird because it's kind of a

36:00I 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 it has been like for me in different situations like if there's someone that I admire a lot it's myself it's kind of I just sit down sometimes and 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 because I'm still like a not confident person like a lot of times.
