## Transcript

The idea of taking my music, you know, my song one two step, which I've never lent that song to anything. See you on Tuesday. I've been very particular about that sample being used, let alone me going in the studio to rerecord a part of my song to make it fit the campaign. That's one, two, three. I just thought, you know, this is such an amazing opportunity to. Whereas you get to see the power of music, you know, coming together with the power of medicine, essentially, but ultimately being able to impact someone's life. There was a nostalgic feeling with this campaign, because I remember back in the days, the conversation was really big surrounding HIV and Aids.

The awareness level was really high. And then I think over time it kind of subsided a little bit. And those conversations just kind of fell more so to the background or to the wayside. But the reality is, is that this disease is still rolling strong and there's so much opportunity for people to, you know, protect themselves. I'm very optimistic that who knows what, you know, more amazingness will be created in this world. Talk about the prep shots alone. It's like groundbreaking. We're talking about game changing science. Whenever there's an opportunity for me to impact someone's life and essentially help save a life.

I'm going to be first in line to do it because I feel an obligation to do that with my platform. I just don't think that I'm given this amazing platform to just sing and dance and like, do cheap things.
