We all wanted to be like her, dress like her… I could go on-and-on about Aaliyah. That first introduction made me realize just being me was okay. I was just feeling like I was lost in her world – this world where girls were just effortlessly cool. I don’t remember the first time hearing the song, but I definitely remember when the video came out. First Time Seeing Aaliyah’s “One In A Million” Video It came as a surprise to me, but a great one.
I remember somebody saying to me, “You know that means you’re a Grammy award winning writer now.” I was like, “I get something too? Oh crap!” It didn’t hit me until that moment when they said that. I remember watching him walk up on that stage. That was his first Grammy, and my first Grammy as well. Honestly, we just wanted Chris to win so badly. This is crazy.” I texted my mom the whole time with the play-by-play: “We just did this.” “He likes this part I came up with.” We were at a studio called Westlake. I remember just thinking, “I’m recording a song with Chris Brown. That night we ended up doing a song called “Smile & Wave.” He had a writing session, and I asked if I could be a part of it. The first time I recorded with him I was in my old group RichGirl.
I just sat in that car and said to myself, “Wow.” That’s another moment I will never forget. I literally caught the tail end of “Yeah 3x.” But just hearing those few little seconds was enough for me. I remember I was pulling up to my manager’s house, and I turned on the radio. The first time hearing a song I wrote on the radio was “Yeah 3x.” I remember everybody kept telling me, “You ain’t heard it yet? We heard it in the car.” I was like, “No! I haven’t heard it yet!” First Time Hearing A Song You Wrote Played On The Radio I will never forget that for the rest of my life. I still remember what that felt like all these years later. Īt the end of the day, it was a legendary experience to be able to touch the same log as Michael Jackson, James Brown, and so many other greats. My cheeks looked like they were stuffed with food. My hair was in these big old candy curls, and I was a little chubby chub. My momma had me in this big, puffy, ugly silver dress.
