I legit squealed when saw this come up! Chris loves you! We all do! Am completely loving your success! For a girl stuck at home with Lyme Disease, like Mr Ren, you are both brightening up my days SO much! No stopping you now! 🎉
@Chinchella - You’re the most talented singer & artist I’ve seen in decades. More importantly you’re showing young girls and women how to kick ass and take names later! I believe Adele, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, etc… should all slide over and save a seat for you! Like I said - you’re a motherfuckin’ Geeeeee…💪🤘🎶😎♥️
A lovely conversation! I hope to hear more live music from you. You are a phenomenal singer, no questions about that, but comparing studio recordings to the live videos on UA-cam (with Ren or just yours), there is something magical in the live ones. I think Chris has it when he talks about inhabiting a character. It comes through much stronger in the live versions. And like I said, magical! Thank you for taking the time to do this! Ps. This is coming from a metalhead ;) Great music and great art is not limited by genres ;)
I contacted Chinchilla to ask for a collab for my electronica music. I asked thinking nah she won't get back to me. She did infact get back to me she said it wasn't for her but I was blown away that she took the time to listen and actually get back to me. She will forever have my respect. She had no obligation to reply or even entertain the prospect. Very gracious and genuine person.
I love her and bc of Ren she's blowing up too, old songs led to new ones and she already has a lot more listeners and followers on Spotify, Ren only has, almost 5000, she over 2 million!! She'll get there, how could she not?
Both Chinchilla and Ren seem to place performance first, and singing second. And both are bloody brilliant singers, so we all get to enjoy the magic. :)
They are not only brilliant singers(Ren is also a great guitarist), they are brilliant songwriters and producers too. Two complete artist who soon will be big world wide i hope..........Btw : I have registered that CNN try everyting they can to stop Ren conquer the world with their statement bullshit about his brilliant song "Hi Ren" !!
There is such a beautiful connection between Ren and Chinchilla. When they perform together, the rest of us soon realise we’re in the presence of two very special people. As individual artists, they’re tapping into something beyond what other artists have been doing and we can’t get enough of it. ❤️
What a beautiful breath of fresh air Chinchilla is. This lady is headed for stardom I guarantee it. Her attitude and talent is top level and people will gravitate towards her passion and golden voice. ✨️
She seems to be a great role model for my 3 daughters, this is desperately needed in the music industry. I hope she is able to stay fully independent and continue to kick over all the boxes
Girls are told from day one more what we can't and shouldn't do it is always wonderful when someone voices the inner strength. Chinchilla does it so stunningly and beautifully.
I am watching this while her new release "Little Girl Gone" is on the very top of the US itunes charts. Outstanding work! You go girl! Congratulations!
I'm amazed that I continue being surprised by just how absolutely genuine and fresh Chinchilla is as a person. I absolutely adore her already, yet each new tidbit of insight I gleen from her, from her music, community posts, shorts and now, this lovely interview, endears her to me more and more. Thank you very much for this interview, Chris! Chinchilla is what I dared to wish for: Refreshing, unique, endlessly talented artist, but most importantly it seems, a truly gorgeous person as well. I smile for her as I envision the success and happiness this beautiful young Lady will be seeing in her future! ❤✌️
I love the community that has sprung up around Ren. I discovered both of you through him, and now have so much to explore and enjoy because of it. Chinchilla seems as lovely as she is talented, and it's awesome to see a woman like her making a dent in an industry that doesn't let enough artists of her calibre through these days. She's so refreshing.
CHINCHILLA's performance of everything is so good, but "Fingers" is just EXCEPTIONAL, and I have been binging reactions to it ever since I heard it. Yours is one of the only ones that really pulls it apart and highlights all the awesome things she does with her voice (and everything else, really). I can't explain how much I love to see this video as a follow-up!
I am currently taking the long journey of learning how to play guitar as well as hone in my singing skills. I hope that I can eventually build my skills up to be like Chinchilla and Ren. To perform for and connect with other people is what I dream of. Spread love, kindness, caring, and understanding. Through these we can make the world a better place for all
What a lovely interview! I only know Chinchilla from her incredible performances so this was great to not only find out more about her beginnings, inspiration etc but also to get to "know" the girl behind the Voice. Thank you for giving both her and us this opportunity to get to know her and asking such great questions. Look forward to watching your reaction to Fingers live - I always enjoy watching your excited eargasms 😆
Fantastic interview. So nice to hear from an artist who has studied and experienced the arts rather than just want to be the next product the industry kicked out.
Love that Chinchilla is getting her time in the spotlight .. I wish all the very best for both Chinchilla & Ren .. and hopefully more music of them together .. and maybe even a joint tour ..
I knew I liked Chinchilla for some reason! The fact that she listened to Christina Aguilera (who is one of my top 3 vocalists) just sealed the love 💗💗💗
It's so wild; she's on my mind. When I wake up in the morning, I hear fingers in my mind. And sometimes during the day too. Her voice is insane. I'm practicing the song with my coach, and it's so much fun because I love her whole performance.
I loved Little Girl Gone in addition to everything I have heard from Chinchilla, started with collaborations with Ren. I am a 52 year old woman living in rural Texas, not really been fond of many women artists that have come out in the last 20 years with the exception of in This Moment and Otep untill now from Chinchilla. She is an empowering force for women that
Was looking for a decent conversation to watch so was very pleased when I came across this gem! Of course Chinchilla finds time to make her own hats on top of being such a wonderful singer and performer 😍 fashion goals for me (singing is defo not an option unfortunately! 😂) all the love Chinchilla, wishing you every success xxx
It is nice to see Music changing from mainstream crap to Performance ART. Chinchilla is fantastic, she is so talented. Her voice is beyond beautiful. Her costumes are delightful, some or all made by her. I am over 70 YO and I just love her talent. Talent like we used to see in the 60/70 era. Real musicians making a difference by being unique as well as having loads of talent. She does not require a bunch of half nude girls dancing around her. She stands alone and you cannot take your eyes off her, listening to take in every little nuance of her voice. Bravo from 🇨🇦
What a fantastic interview. I was already in love with her and her voice and her personnity. This was just amazing and beautiful. Chinchilla you are wonderful.
Thanks to Chinchilla for doing this interview with you. She was so lovely. I was blown away to learn that not only is she an amazing singer and performer but also a fashion designer! Chinchilla. You should put out a line of your hats. They ate fantastic!
So happy to see good things happening for good people who really appreciate them. Chinchilla seems really down to earth and humble while being a vocal beast and an outstanding performer.
I identify with Chinchilla being more uncomfortable busking at first. I do community theater (a full house is 250 people, lol), but I've also done storytelling, where I remain stationary and groups of up to 20 (but sometimes as few as 2) come to hear my story. I'll do it 10-15 times per night and the fewer people there are, the harder it is. The more personal it is. It's like ... with 250 people - not a stadium - there are bound to be a few people who don't care for what you put on stage. It just seems so much more hurtful when you did a "performance" for 2 people, you looked them in the eyes for 7-10 minutes and they walk away not enjoying your offering. Much as Chinchilla stated, two different skillsets. Acting and storytelling are two different things. I don't sing, but I get it! :)
I'm probably the only person who came to listen to Chinchilla that never really heard Ren. Chinchilla is probably the best example of "now we move into the future".
I really enjoyed this interview. Adding an observation of mine from watching both Chinchilla and Ren, they seem to approach delivering songs in a similar way. There’s a mix of genres sometimes that very much creates an operatic or stage play type of performance that creates an intimacy with the audience that connects. I don’t know, just a thought.
I first found raw, emotionally charged, music in highschool. Damien Rice's Volcanos changed my whole damn life! I've been obsessed ever since. Swell Season/The Frames, Jeff Buckley, CCR, Neil Young, Janice Joplin, The Civil Wars, Shawn James, and now Chinchilla and Ren. The emotion and stories are so much better than what the "perfection trap" could ever offer the world. Thank you for this video, this channel, and being a vocal coach that respects raw performance over perfection.
The Civil Wars are such an odd one. Their Laundry sessions acoustic Billy Jean is mind-blowingly good, like they have the most amazing chemistry together, but I heard they hated each other. Absolutely fooled me.
A wonderful talent and a wonderful human. Chinchilla seems fine too. 😉 But seriously, I really enjoyed that. Such a great discussion ... thanks so much! And congrats Chinchilla on the huge success of Little Girl Gone (at least, judging by the first few hours!) Cannot wait to hear more. Thank you!
I don’t know if you choose how many ads are in your videos but you came close to making one of the best, most wanted interviews unwatchable! Maybe I’m the only one that experienced this bud damn man! Chinchilla, you are now known to the world right beside those great female power voices! Having an 18 year old daughter in a time that we glorify songs about WAP and robbing John’s, and acting a fool by trashing his truck and call that empowering women is not easy and you are a beacon of light and a true example of a role model. Like he said, your ability to express yourself in such a powerful will give millions of women and little girls the courage and strength to know they can stand up and speak with the same confidence and power! My daughter was an instant fan when I played “Fingers” for her! From a father…THANK YOU!
I've been watching this over a few days and its so lovely. But Ive just got to the bit about Chinchillas clothes/makeup etc and I just love how she explains it (and steps in to make the point about it not being an alter ego strongly). I grew up somewhat shy but then also through punk rock and I totally empathise. My mohawk and my battle jacket (the name for patched leather/denim jackets in punk/metal says a lot) did just bring out the strongest, fiercest side of myself and gave me permission to be bigger, more powerful etc. And I want to add that I say that as a guy... For women it feels even more important to find whatever it is thst gives you permission to step into your power. Absolute solidarity to Chinchilla and all women and anyone else who faces and fights being held back. ✊
So excited to see more from artists like CHINCHILLA. And im excited to see how many more artists, new and old, will be inspired to truly let go and just give into the music and emotion itself. Edit: Also unrelated now that i know it was Christina that helped her find her voice, i would Kill to hear Chinchilla cover a Christina song
Thanks for doing this. It’s great to get some insight into Chinchilla the person and how that influences Chinchilla the performer. I wish her so much luck with the new material. Little Girl Gone is currently at number one on the iTunes download chart.
I love the "wrong" notes, I want to hear the nuances in people's voices, we connect to them more then some tinny sounding auto-tuned pop star. I'm absolutely loving Chinchilla's stuff, and Ren as well, of course. I don't think I've listened to the radio in some time, I don't need too when I can find these real artists on UA-cam and other platforms around the internet that haven't been so molded into their cookie cutter molds of what some old guy in a VIP or Marketing role thinks I want to hear.
Stay humble and real. I loved how you and Ren put raw emotion and spontaneity into your performance. THAT is whats missing these days. You mentined how you liked busking cause things werent "prefabricated ". People can really feel that pre-fab as fake and boring. Being yourself and immerse yourself in the moment will always capture those special moments. And your audience will LOVE being a part of that. Love what your doing!
Thank you Chris for bringing Chinchilla on your show so we could all get a chance to get to know her a little like bit through your interview. You asked so many great questions! What a great opportunity for you to talk to her after watching her in chalk outlines which amazing. Good job! Thank you so much ! Renee Gentry
Fantastic interview Chris. I just love Chinchilla, her voice and her artistic creativity. She is a breath of fresh air. I hope that she gets all the recognition she deserves. Thanks Chris and big love to @CHINCHILLA 😍
Chinchilla, from one of your newest fans, I already loved your songs and performances, now I’m loving your wonderfully down to earth grace, charm, humour and humanity expressed beautifully in this interview 😍 Chris, wow, awesome interview! 🤩 I came hoping to get to know the person behind the voice and this was beyond my expectations. You served up a delicious multi coursed feast of all things Chinchilla. Personally I hoped to get to know the person, emotionally I hoped to discover the heart, vocally I hoped to hear about the process and glean from a couple of masters. All hopes have been fulfilled plus some. I’m especially feeling a new empowerment and freedom as a female vocalist. Thank you, both of you, for this delightful, insightful experience. 🙏🥰 I’m off now to go find myself a set of nails. 😁
Wow Chinchilla, you are so down to earth, really cool and relatable. I enjoy your music and the presence you give while sharing/expressing your art. God bless and keep you in all your endeavors. Peace
Thank you for this fantastic interview , very interesting to glimpse the behind the scenes chinchilla, what a beautiful and interesting character she is . She is speaking for many women with a raw honesty and vulnerability few can muster. I hope you continue with these interviews of independent artists. ❤❤❤
This interview made me late for an appointment! I saw it and said to myself "Well I'll watch 15 minutes of it and watch the rest after"....it proved to be impossible. So happy I was late. It gave me an excuse to explain to everyone why. Chinchilla, you have a big time 60 year old fan. You are in a class by yourself without Ren, and you are both in my opinion due for greatness. One thing, Drink can sometimes bring some creativity, no creativity comes with tobacco, only damage, never smoke again ok? Chris, you are the man for landing this interview!
She is soo creative and talented, I really hope that she continues to genuinely express herself and avoids going down the road of trying to deliver what she may think people want.
GREAT interview. Thanks for doing it. You were both awesome to listen to! Kept me engaged the whole time & lots of good info as well! Chinchilla seems like a sweetheart. Wish you much success girl! With that voice & more importantly unyielding passion, you deserve it.
I hope she follows Ren and so many of these independent goats and not sign her soul away to a label... She way too creative and in this day and age she can go so far with her own beautiful voice, energy and creativity and own all of it herself...
@@chrisliepe oh man, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this interview! Your passion and outright enjoyment of who she is really comes across and we feel it too thanks to you. Good on you for securing this historic interview 🎉
Great interview Chris 👏 great to get to know Chinchilla a bit more intimately. She is an amazing young lady with abundance of talent. Thank you both for letting us in 🫶
Love Chinchilla so much. So happy to see so many independent artists getting featured by the reaction channels. It’s so refreshing to see emotion and feeling in the songs rather than a bunch of auto tune to the same beats.
THANK YOOUUU FOR HAVING ME CHRIS! Was so lovely to have a big old chat ☕️
You’re precious! ❤
I legit squealed when saw this come up! Chris loves you! We all do! Am completely loving your success! For a girl stuck at home with Lyme Disease, like Mr Ren, you are both brightening up my days SO much! No stopping you now! 🎉
@Chinchella - You’re the most talented singer & artist I’ve seen in decades. More importantly you’re showing young girls and women how to kick ass and take names later!
I believe Adele, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, etc… should all slide over and save a seat for you!
Like I said - you’re a motherfuckin’ Geeeeee…💪🤘🎶😎♥️
New song is so good
A lovely conversation! I hope to hear more live music from you. You are a phenomenal singer, no questions about that, but comparing studio recordings to the live videos on UA-cam (with Ren or just yours), there is something magical in the live ones. I think Chris has it when he talks about inhabiting a character. It comes through much stronger in the live versions. And like I said, magical! Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Ps. This is coming from a metalhead ;) Great music and great art is not limited by genres ;)
I contacted Chinchilla to ask for a collab for my electronica music. I asked thinking nah she won't get back to me. She did infact get back to me she said it wasn't for her but I was blown away that she took the time to listen and actually get back to me. She will forever have my respect. She had no obligation to reply or even entertain the prospect. Very gracious and genuine person.
I think she respects independent artists being one herself and knows what it's like to start a music career on one's own.
I love her and bc of Ren she's blowing up too, old songs led to new ones and she already has a lot more listeners and followers on Spotify, Ren only has, almost 5000, she over 2 million!! She'll get there, how could she not?
Yes they are great together and separate!!!!
You never know unless you ask.
Ren and Chinchilla dueting together is hands down the best duet that has ever been recorded.
Both Chinchilla and Ren seem to place performance first, and singing second. And both are bloody brilliant singers, so we all get to enjoy the magic. :)
They are not only brilliant singers(Ren is also a great guitarist), they are brilliant songwriters and producers too. Two complete artist who soon will be big world wide i hope..........Btw : I have registered that CNN try everyting they can to stop Ren conquer the world with their statement bullshit about his brilliant song "Hi Ren" !!

As individual artists, they’re tapping into something beyond what other artists have been doing and we can’t get enough of it. ❤️
Totally agree...ever since I came across Chalk outlines i was an Instant fan. Such beautiful works. Amazing stories these 2 have. Love you both.
They become symbiotic ❤
Ren & Chinchilla are magic together, the syncopation comes from the gut. They both were emotionally connected to the music and subject.
What a beautiful breath of fresh air Chinchilla is. This lady is headed for stardom I guarantee it. Her attitude and talent is top level and people will gravitate towards her passion and golden voice. ✨️
I just heard her new song 🎵 absolutely a banger 💥💥💥
Not only her attitude or talent. She has this whole vibe about her that's so real and not manufactured.
I am late to the show, but Chinchilla may just go down one day as the best female performer of all time.
She seems to be a great role model for my 3 daughters, this is desperately needed in the music industry. I hope she is able to stay fully independent and continue to kick over all the boxes
not to mention she could single handily bring top hats back and i'm all for that!
@@hughneutron5303 ooh good point… now that I’m bald … hats are my thing, I need her to make me a dope hat that goes w my beard lol
@@hughneutron5303
At 6'4" that's my worst nightmare! 😂
@@rogerstarkey5390 flat caps for us taller variants.
Girls are told from day one more what we can't and shouldn't do it is always wonderful when someone voices the inner strength. Chinchilla does it so stunningly and beautifully.
I am watching this while her new release "Little Girl Gone" is on the very top of the US itunes charts. Outstanding work! You go girl! Congratulations!
YESSSS

Wtf really ??? Wow that's amazing so glad shes finally blowing up !
Chinchilla, you are captivating and beautiful!!! ❤

Is it just me? Is she pretty much the most adorable human ever?
Her voice with Rens voice reached my soul.
CHINCHILLA's performance of everything is so good, but "Fingers" is just EXCEPTIONAL, and I have been binging reactions to it ever since I heard it. Yours is one of the only ones that really pulls it apart and highlights all the awesome things she does with her voice (and everything else, really).

What an absoulte legend. And the new song just slaps like nothing else
Such a bad ass comment 👍👍
Amen!
It makes complete sense that her and Ren focus on emotion when singing together and boy does it work💕😱💕🦇
What a lovely interview! I only know Chinchilla from her incredible performances so this was great to not only find out more about her beginnings, inspiration etc but also to get to "know" the girl behind the Voice.

15 minutes in and just had to say thank you so much for this interview! She’s amazing
Chinchilla is absolutely adorable.☮️🇬🇧
The major thing I take from this interview is that Daisy is such an articulate and intelligent girl!
Huge thanks to Chris and Chinchilla for this amazing interview.🙌🙌🔥
Fantastic interview. So nice to hear from an artist who has studied and experienced the arts rather than just want to be the next product the industry kicked out.
Love that Chinchilla is getting her time in the spotlight .. I wish all the very best for both Chinchilla & Ren .. and hopefully more music of them together .. and maybe even a joint tour ..
OMG what a wonderful discussion. Chinchilla is as beautiful inside as outside.
Loved this!
So awesome that you interviewed Chinchilla. She comes across as such a good person. Humble and sincere. Loved seeing that!
I knew I liked Chinchilla for some reason! The fact that she listened to Christina Aguilera (who is one of my top 3 vocalists) just sealed the love 💗💗💗
Chris - the “homemade hats” are out of this world. Beautiful. What a. Skilled woman
Agreed 💯❤️
It's so wild; she's on my mind. When I wake up in the morning, I hear fingers in my mind. And sometimes during the day too.

Chris, i truly love the way you totally nerd out about chinchillas voice. Keep it up it feels so authentic and genuine.
Was looking for a decent conversation to watch so was very pleased when I came across this gem! Of course Chinchilla finds time to make her own hats on top of being such a wonderful singer and performer 😍 fashion goals for me (singing is defo not an option unfortunately! 😂) all the love Chinchilla, wishing you every success xxx
I see hats being back in fashion in 2023. 😉
It is nice to see Music changing from mainstream crap to Performance ART. Chinchilla is fantastic, she is so talented. Her voice is beyond beautiful.

I absolutely love her. Her and Ren are magic together and I am thrilled for them both!
THATS MY GIRL!! LOVE WATCHING HER GET DISCOVERED BY SO MANY PEOPLE , SHE DESERVES IT SO MUCH
this girl is absolutely awsome, she is an amazing artist and also a really lovely person. She deserves the biggest success! Loved this interview ❤❤❤
So friggin excited for this and then Ren on Justin Hawkins. These two giving me hope for popular music!
I’m LOVING this interview! Thank you very much for the pleasure!❤
Thank you Chinchilla and Chris for doing this great interview, I enjoyed every minute of it! Can't wait for Chris' reaction to Little Girl Gone...
Fingers LIVE has been playing in my head all day because I watched about 3 reactions to it before work this morning.
I would love to see you interview Ren! Great job
me too :)
Me 3! Sort it ahhht Ren ❤
Great interview and how nice is chinchilla,when u said nice things you can see her face light up and how much it means to her
Great Interview! ❤
So very interesting to learn about Chinchilla and also to watch Chinchilla learn from your own insights. Wonderful!
Awesome 😮 this is great. I think Chinchilla and Ren make each other better. It's a synchronicity! They are unabashed.
Thanks to Chinchilla for doing this interview with you. She was so lovely.
I was blown away to learn that not only is she an amazing singer and performer but also a fashion designer!
Chinchilla. You should put out a line of your hats. They ate fantastic!
So happy to see good things happening for good people who really appreciate them. Chinchilla seems really down to earth and humble while being a vocal beast and an outstanding performer.
love how the interview never felt like a interview, but just one big old convo with an few quiestions asked. big compliments on that Chris.
I identify with Chinchilla being more uncomfortable busking at first.

Nice. You got quite deep here. Thanks for being so open, Chinchilla.
Chinchilla, Ren and NF are artists that are REAL and human beings relate to. She is so amazing
Fantastic interview!!! Chinchilla is an amazing artist! Wish her all the success!!!
A wonderful talent and a wonderful human. Chinchilla seems fine too. 😉
But seriously, I really enjoyed that. Such a great discussion ... thanks so much! And congrats Chinchilla on the huge success of Little Girl Gone (at least, judging by the first few hours!) Cannot wait to hear more. Thank you!

I love the "wrong" notes, I want to hear the nuances in people's voices, we connect to them more then some tinny sounding auto-tuned pop star. I'm absolutely loving Chinchilla's stuff, and Ren as well, of course. I don't think I've listened to the radio in some time, I don't need too when I can find these real artists on UA-cam and other platforms around the internet that haven't been so molded into their cookie cutter molds of what some old guy in a VIP or Marketing role thinks I want to hear.
Stay humble and real. I loved how you and Ren put raw emotion and spontaneity into your performance. THAT is whats missing these days. You mentined how you liked busking cause things werent "prefabricated ". People can really feel that pre-fab as fake and boring. Being yourself and immerse yourself in the moment will always capture those special moments. And your audience will LOVE being a part of that.
Love what your doing!
What a treat!!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you Chris for bringing Chinchilla on your show so we could all get a chance to get to know her a little like bit through your interview. You asked so many great questions! What a great opportunity for you to talk to her after watching her in chalk outlines which amazing. Good job! Thank you so much ! Renee Gentry
Loved this interview!! Glad she is starting to blow up too! You can see Ren and Chinchilla busking check out one dance/ drunk in love its so good!
I love this Chris, this interview feels like it was inspired by the experiences you had with her music. There is some special sauce.
Fantastic interview Chris. I just love Chinchilla, her voice and her artistic creativity. She is a breath of fresh air. I hope that she gets all the recognition she deserves. Thanks Chris and big love to @CHINCHILLA 😍
Very good - Thanks CHINCHILLA and Chris!
Chinchilla, from one of your newest fans, I already loved your songs and performances, now I’m loving your wonderfully down to earth grace, charm, humour and humanity expressed beautifully in this interview 😍 Chris, wow, awesome interview! 🤩 I came hoping to get to know the person behind the voice and this was beyond my expectations. You served up a delicious multi coursed feast of all things Chinchilla. Personally I hoped to get to know the person, emotionally I hoped to discover the heart, vocally I hoped to hear about the process and glean from a couple of masters. All hopes have been fulfilled plus some. I’m especially feeling a new empowerment and freedom as a female vocalist. Thank you, both of you, for this delightful, insightful experience. 🙏🥰 I’m off now to go find myself a set of nails. 😁
Chinchilla is very present and aware. Also a good listener.😊
Wow Chinchilla, you are so down to earth, really cool and relatable. I enjoy your music and the presence you give while sharing/expressing your art. God bless and keep you in all your endeavors. Peace
Chinchilla…..!!!
Kick ass name girl….
Thank you for this fantastic interview , very interesting to glimpse the behind the scenes chinchilla, what a beautiful and interesting character she is . She is speaking for many women with a raw honesty and vulnerability few can muster. I hope you continue with these interviews of independent artists. ❤❤❤
Great interview! Loved learning more about Chinchilla ... such a talent!
This interview made me late for an appointment! I saw it and said to myself "Well I'll watch 15 minutes of it and watch the rest after"....it proved to be impossible. So happy I was late. It gave me an excuse to explain to everyone why. Chinchilla, you have a big time 60 year old fan. You are in a class by yourself without Ren, and you are both in my opinion due for greatness. One thing, Drink can sometimes bring some creativity, no creativity comes with tobacco, only damage, never smoke again ok? Chris, you are the man for landing this interview!
She is soo creative and talented, I really hope that she continues to genuinely express herself and avoids going down the road of trying to deliver what she may think people want.
GREAT interview. Thanks for doing it. You were both awesome to listen to! Kept me engaged the whole time & lots of good info as well! Chinchilla seems like a sweetheart. Wish you much success girl! With that voice & more importantly unyielding passion, you deserve it.
Thank you so much for this long-form piece. I really felt I was able to get to know Chinchilla on a new level as an artist. Whole new appreciation!
Thanks for the interview. CHINCHILLA is lovely! I can't wait more music!
Amazing interview!! Thank you so much! Chinchilla is a sensational artist and an even better human!
A great relaxed interview.
Chinchilla is a gem, love her.
The keys in your knuckles line - brilliant
I hope she follows Ren and so many of these independent goats and not sign her soul away to a label... She way too creative and in this day and age she can go so far with her own beautiful voice, energy and creativity and own all of it herself...
I've been looking forward to this soo much!
Me too :)
@@chrisliepe oh man, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this interview! Your passion and outright enjoyment of who she is really comes across and we feel it too thanks to you. Good on you for securing this historic interview 🎉
SERIOUSLY, beautiful talent young lady!
There’s so MUCH good artist in the UK!!!!! I’m a British fan!

Chinchilla.. Your voice that your have..,Voice of an Angel.. Just speechless..,So Amazing!!
Great interview Chris 👏 great to get to know Chinchilla a bit more intimately. She is an amazing young lady with abundance of talent. Thank you both for letting us in 🫶
Love Chinchilla so much. So happy to see so many independent artists getting featured by the reaction channels. It’s so refreshing to see emotion and feeling in the songs rather than a bunch of auto tune to the same beats.
