LEO:Oh, thank you so much. It’s been good. It’s been chill. Yeah.
Tetris Kelly:I’m glad it’s been chill, but it hasn’t been chill in your life. You recently joined 131 Label. I’ve been following your updates online. So tell me what the average day is like for you?
LEO:Yeah, well, actually, we’ve been busy just making music and we’ve had a lot of sessions and obviously filmed a music video. Song’s just out a few days ago. It’s been pretty busy.
Tetris Kelly:And I mean, you’ve traveled all the way from Australia to Korea to start your career. So what made you want to do that?
LEO:Obviously, I was inspired a lot by Korean culture, Korean music and obviously, I love music too. So natural.
Tetris Kelly:Oh, it’s natural! Well, what’s one word to describe LEO for those of you out there who want to get to know you?
LEO:Shy?
Tetris Kelly:Oh, he says he’s shy. We’ll find out about that. And then your new music. Tell me about your next single.
LEO:Yes. “One Look” came out a few days ago. I’m very pleased for it to come out. And you know, a lot of people have been showing it a lot of love, so I’m very, very happy.
Tetris Kelly:Who are some artists that inspire you?
LEO:I think my favorite artists are Drake, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Bryson Tiller, just to name a few.
Tetris Kelly:Well, Drake is playing at this arena, I think last week, so we’re sharing the Drake energy right now. You got to channel that.
LEO:Yeah. Well, I went … I went actually, but yeah, it was amazing. Yeah.
Tetris Kelly:That’s super awesome. And tell me what’s something you want to tell to your fans out there.
LEO:Obviously, thank you for listening to “One Look,” showing it a lot of love and thank you for just supporting me, and can’t wait to see you guys on stage.

Rania Aniftos:Hi, everybody. It’s Rania Aniftos with Billboard News, and I’m here with one of my favorite artists, Sabrina Carpenter.
Sabrina Carpenter:Hello.
Rania Aniftos:Hey.
Sabrina Carpenter:Hi.
Rania Aniftos:This looks a little different than the usual Billboard set because we are here behind the scenes of your new fragrance Caramel Dream.
Sabrina Carpenter:Yeah, we on set for sure.
Rania Aniftos:We drenched ourselves in it earlier.
Sabrina Carpenter:We smell crazy good right now.
Rania Aniftos:So good, haha! Yeah, I mean, it’s your second fragrance.
Sabrina Carpenter:Yeah.
Rania Aniftos:How exciting.
Sabrina Carpenter:Yeah, I feel I mean, I feel so lucky to make one fragrance, let alone two. It’s also really nice because you know, when you get, like, a pet, and, like, the pet is, like, kind of lonely and you’re, like, “Ah, I need to get another cat now because the cat is alone.” That’s how I feel about the fragrance because, like, the first one now has, like, a sister. It has a companion. But they’re both very different and unique in their own special ways. So it’s hard to choose a favorite — much like your children, like your pets. And yeah, I’m so passionate about the fragrance because it smells … it smells incredible. I mean, it’s all the things that I love and and it’s very aligned with, like, where I’m at in life right now.
