Nicki Nicole plays Fishing for Answers with Billboard backstage at Billboard’s Latin Music Week 2023.Nicki Nicole:
Hello, everyone. I’m Nicki Nicole, and I’m here to answer questions with Billboard.
What’s your guilty pleasure food? I think it’s chicken supremes. They are quite popular in Argentina and honestly, when they’re fried, they aren’t that healthy, so that’s my guilty pleasure.
Let’s go to the next one! Let’s see… What was your most embarrassing moment on stage? I have quite a few, a collection of embarrassing moments on stage not because they happen, but because I look for them. But once I fell off a staircase, it was bad. I don’t think anyone saw me, but I believe they heard because the microphone was still on. I was fine, nothing happened but the front row people, I think they saw me, and when I came out, some looked concerned, others were laughing but it was all good. I was a little embarrassed.
What’s your secret talent? I’m not sure if it’s a talent, but I have some really good jokes. I love making people laugh and if I have to make someone laugh, I can do it.
What’s the best concert you have attended? Do I have to pick just one? I have two. Kendrick Lamar’s at Lollapalooza in Paris and Rosalía’s at the Movistar Arena in Argentina. For me, they’re at the top.
Someone who has impacted me? Yes. Once, behind the scenes at an awards show, I met Thalia. I hadn’t met her in person, and I was quite impressed, to be honest. She was very beautiful, and also she was walking, and I was like, “Wow.” I didn’t even know how to walk in heels at that time, imagine that so, I saw her and said, “Wait, what?!” She left a big impression on me.

D4vd:It was, like, at a press conference, everybody had their phones up playing the same clip. And it was, like, SZA sitting down saying, “The D4 emo music guy.” Oh, like that’s me. They’re talking about me! You know it’s so fire.
Hey, everybody! I’m d4vd, and you’re watching Billboard News.
Lyndsey Havens:Hey, I’m Lyndsey Havens for Billboard News. And we are here with genre agnostic, I’m gonna say singer-songwriter D4vd. It’s so good to have you here.
D4vd:Thank you for having me.
Lyndsey Havens:You’ve been on quite the run this year.
D4vd:Quite the sprint.
Lyndsey Havens:“Sprint,” that’s a better word. So if you think about it just a few years ago, I’m picturing you recording vocals in your sister’s walk-in closet. And this year alone, sold-out tour, two EPs. If you had to describe what 2023 has been like for you, how could you put into words?
D4vd:Absolutely “blessed roller coaster.” Like, front-row seat on a roller coaster. Honestly, and it goes this way, it goes that way, it goes every which way. It’s honestly just been a wild ride.
Lyndsey Havens:Has there been one moment that has surprised you the most?
D4vd:SZA tour honestly. Honestly, it was like, months and months of seeing her to this moment. And I was just completely like, starstruck. It wasn’t even real to me when I heard the news.

GALE plays Fishing for Answers with Billboard backstage at Billboard’s Latin Music Week 2023.
GALEHello I’m GALE and here I am, Fishing for Answers with Billboard.
GALELet’s see… do you prefer recording or touring?
GALEOh, that’s a tough one. I love the energy I feel in the studio, creating, writing a song. It’s like magic, but I feel like nothing compares to being on stage. Singing your songs and connecting with the audience in that way. It’s like kind of electricity. So a bit of both, being on stage more.
GALEWho is your style icon and why?
GALEUhhh…you know I don’t have a specific person, but I’m really inspired by ’90s fashion, I love that ’90s vibe, everything.
GALEI could stay here until tomorrow.
GALEWho would you love to collaborate with on your next album?
GALEOh I don’t know. Not a specific person, but wow. I just released my first album a few months ago. I’m still in that mindset. Although I’ve started working on new music, I’m just too excited. Well some collaborations I’d love…to name a few Pol Granch, Bruses, Manuel Turizo, Shakira eventually I’d love that. Yes.
GALEHave you met someone who left you starstruck? Who was it?
GALEWell, you see…I’ve thought about this a lot because I started composing with other artists who I’ve had the opportunity to write with artists I admire, a lot like…Christina Aguilera and Shakira, who I grew up listening to. Imitating, well, everything. But starstruck? No it hasn’t happened to me. Daddy Yankee. Maybe with him the starstruck feeling could happen, I’ll get back to you.

Chart-topping DJ, producer and songwriter Marshmello talks about diving into Latin music; the process of creating his first Latin album, Sugar Papi; working with Young Miko; the success of his track “El Merengue” with Manuel Turizo and more!
Marshmello:It was interesting. I kind of showed up to Miami to write this album and I was like, “I don’t really have anything prepared.” Part of my job, my main job, is on-the-spot creation.
Lyndsey Havens:Yeah.
Marshmello:Just making it, you know what I mean? Making it work. Yo, what’s up? It’s Marshmello and this is Billboard News.
Lyndsey Havens:Hey, I’m Lyndsey Havens for Billboard News, and I’m here with the chart-topping, DJ, producer and songwriter Marshmello!
Marshmello:What’s going on?
Lyndsey Havens:What’s up, man?
Marshmello:Chilling.
Lyndsey Havens:You’re no stranger to our charts. We have a lot of firsts to talk about with you right now. You have a major label debut album coming out: Sugar Papi, first Latin album, first proper album, new artists on every song.
Marshmello:First album, yeah, a major label album.
Lyndsey Havens:Tell us a bit about how and when the idea for this album even came about.
Marshmello:I’ve always been eager to kind of make a body of work. I wasn’t sure when the right time was. Sony Latin reached out to me and was like, “Hey, would you like to do a Latin album?” And I’d always wanted to tap into Latin music and it just seemed like a perfect time to first knock out the album that I’ve always wanted to do and Latin and everybody was so cool and so nice. It was a no-brainer.
Lyndsey Havens:Did you ever think that Latin would be your first album?
Marshmello:Even though I wasn’t putting out Latin songs, over the years, I just befriended so many people, so many Latin artists. I knew it would happen, I just wasn’t sure when and it was just kind of sent by the universe.
Lyndsey Havens:Yeah. I mean, what conversations did you have with Sony Latin about the appetite for this right now?
Marshmello:I wasn’t just gonna go and make this like, huge, every biggest artist in the world on a Latin album, like, I’m just gonna work with artists that I vibe with, and that I just like, genuinely like their music, you know? And so I think, like, you’ll see, like, on the tracklist and who I worked with, you’d be like, OK, like, just, like, a good vibe.Watch the full video above!
