00:00 We're here with the beautiful Agnes Mo here at the Gold House Gala and I understand that you, first of all,

00:05 her fan matches her boots, which you can't see but take my word for it.

00:10 And it has,

00:13 there we go.

00:15 And you said it has something to do with your Indonesian culture?

00:19 Yes, so basically this fabric is called, you know, the pattern is called batik.

00:23 So we actually use the same fabric and then we made it into boots.

00:27 So I'm trying to infuse some of my culture, but then made it my own, you know with my own little twist.

00:33 So, yeah.

00:34 I mean you are always representing your culture in the most beautiful way and in a lot of funny ways too.

00:40 We just saw that you just had a wax figure open up at Madame Tussauds. What was that process like?

00:45 I mean, it was crazy because actually when we did that it was before pandemic

00:50 and it was supposed to be revealed, you know around that time.

00:54 But obviously when the pandemic happened that nothing could really happen, right?

00:57 So, you know, we waited and then we launched the first figure in Singapore and then

01:02 they just launched another one in Hong Kong.

01:05 So now my wax figure, my wax figures are in two different countries, which is kind of crazy. You know, it's

01:13 sort of, I don't know, like surreal, you know moments.

01:17 But, you know, we get to celebrate that every day, every little victory counts.

01:23 Have you seen it yet? Like in person?

01:25 Yes.

01:25 Is it weird?

01:26 Actually, it's so funny because the statue actually looks more Agnes Mo than me.

01:32 So, I mean, I was just like, okay, you guys, you know, did a great job.

01:37 And I love your song with Ciara.

01:41 What was it like working with such a powerhouse, an equal female powerhouse?

01:44 I mean, she's just the it girl, you know what I mean?

01:47 She has been and she still is.

01:50 She's unapologetically her, you know, and she has such a nice family who supports her all the way.

01:58 And I think, you know, at the end of the day, I feel like peace is all what we want, right?

02:03 You know, and I think having a peaceful, successful yet peaceful life is very underrated.

02:10 And I think Ciara is such an, like, I don't know, like the embodiment of all that, right?

02:17 Being a successful, strong woman, but also at the same time, just live a very peaceful,

02:22 you know, non-toxic life.

02:24 The picture of balance, what we all should strive for.

02:27 Is there anyone else that you would love to collaborate with that you have on your list?

02:30 Oh my God.

02:31 I don't know.

02:33 I'm like, oh, shoot.

02:36 I have a lot of people like in my, you know, in my checklist.

02:42 But I definitely probably want to do something with Victoria Monet,

02:47 just because like we've worked together before.

02:49 And definitely want to have, even if it's not a collab, maybe just like a hello with Beyonce.

02:58 Hello, Beyonce.

02:58 That's it.

02:59 Just giving her presents is good enough.

03:00 Exactly.

03:01 And then, you know, yeah, I don't know.

03:05 I feel like I'm open to just collaborating with new, you know, young talents, actually.

03:12 Not just like the established ones.

03:14 I'm kind of like big on that right now, you know, working with a lot of producers,

03:18 not just like the big names, but also like the upcoming ones, you know.

03:21 So, you know, as long as they're, you know, really talented and they could

03:26 introduce me to some new things, I feel like I'm always about that.

03:31 I'm sure they're all dying to work with you.

03:33 I mean, you paved the way for a lot of young Asian Americans.

03:36 Thank you so much.

03:36 It was such a, you know, different time when I first moved here,

03:41 about like maybe 10 years ago.

03:42 It was such a different time.

03:44 Now, you know, representation.

03:48 Exactly.

03:50 Exactly.

03:50 And I love to see it and you look stunning.

03:53 And I hope you have such a good night.

03:54 Thank you so much for always being so nice to me.

03:56 Of course.

03:57 Thank you.
