@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 KZread (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?

Yes they are great together and separate!!!!
Ren and Chinchilla dueting together is hands down the best duet that has ever been recorded.
The slow fuse that is recognition finally hit the explosive that is Chinchilla. So glad to see her getting the recognition she deserves. I hope "new music" continues to recognize that authenticity, emotion, rawness, and performance is so much better than generic auto-tuned computer altered "perfect" music. "Run little Girl .... Bang Ha" 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah I just recently rediscovered reaction channels. I kind of lost my interest for music since the only thing that would reach me was radio music. Its so bland and boring. Went to listen to Hi Ren again (heard it on release, but didnt dive into his whole artistry) and just startad to watch others react to it like a month ago. I now love music again! I'm so happy to have something to sing in the shower again!
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!

It’s wild to hear Chinchilla talk about how she used to be very shy when everything about her music and style exudes confidence and fierceness. She’s an untapped wellspring of talent and star power and I can’t wait for her to rise to the top

That's her stage persona, I've read somewhere that's also the reason for the big hats and her claws, all part of the persona that allows her to be that confident badass singer she is.
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. ❤️

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! ❤✌️
15 minutes in and just had to say thank you so much for this interview! She’s amazing
Everyone would be so lucky to have someone like Chinchilla in their lives. Her soul feels so pure.
Organic. The word for the natural chemistry y'all have is called organic. The way in which you guys create together is organic.
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.
So happy to see her succeeding. She is an amazing talent.

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!
The major thing I take from this interview is that Daisy is such an articulate and intelligent girl!

It makes complete sense that her and Ren focus on emotion when singing together and boy does it work💕😱💕🦇
Huge thanks to Chris and Chinchilla for this amazing interview.🙌🙌🔥
Great watch Chris. The UK independent music scene seems to be doing things at the moment with Chinchilla and Ren just being two examples. If we can be proud of one thing in the UK over recent decades is it's contribution to music. Hopefully Chinchilla is going to go far.
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.

2mho Chinchilla & Ren besides their chemistry represent artists of a new era... funnywise close to the spirit of musicians of the 60ies & 70ies: inventing a new style and being very close to their audience... multimedia experts from the scratch and dealing with topics of vulnerability where they draw their strengths from... so their success comes from their followers and not from an artificial concept of a major label... 🤟
Chris, a heartfelt thank you for doing this interview. I really like Chinchilla, through the Ren connection. She is totally a force on her own. A talented and amazing singer in her own right. I'm a serious fan of bothe Chinchilla and Ren. I know I will see many more wonderful things from her. I appreciate seeing her as her. A real and interesting person.
I think it’s the idea of soul mates vs sole mates. Not twin flame, only holding up an ember in the darkness. Embracing truth is hard, but it reveals the greater truth of all of humanity.
Chinchilla, that line telling this person to keep their keys in their fingers like you have to is absolutely my favorite line! It makes that live version that much better, which is saying a lot. You're amazing.
I adore Chinchilla and her natural openness, just being her, unpretentious. And I also like your interview style, which really is just you being curious, engaged, amazed and in awe of talent ... true love to music. Thank you.
I'm actually surprised. Ren and Chinchilla are so in-tune to what each other are doing in those videos that I just assumed that they knew each other well and had performed together for a long time. What a great 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.
OMG what a wonderful discussion. Chinchilla is as beautiful inside as outside. Loved this!
Spontaneity is what made Whitney Houston's live performances so great, so I think Chinchilla just needs to take that liberty when she does a big show when she can ♥
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 😆
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 💗💗💗
The sky's the limit. Thanks for shedding light on a wonderful independent artist. LOVE CHINCHILLA!!!! 🥰😍🤩
Chris, i truly love the way you totally nerd out about chinchillas voice. Keep it up it feels so authentic and genuine.
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 ..
Thank you for interviewing Chinchilla, she is just as amazing as Ren ..and I have a feeling Ren and chinchilla interviews are gonna be hard to get from here on out
I love Chinchilla so much. She's a legend in the making. Wish I lived in the UK so I could see her shows. ❤
I'm so happy to see such a kind, talented, hardworking, humble artist blowing up! ❤
So awesome that you interviewed Chinchilla. She comes across as such a good person. Humble and sincere. Loved seeing that!
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

this girl is absolutely awsome, she is an amazing artist and also a really lovely person. She deserves the biggest success! Loved this interview ❤❤❤
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.
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.
She is so great ❤, I can understand what she means about being more terrified when busking vs being on stage in an arena. When I used to sing on stage it always felt like it was just me and the band, between the lights being in your face I couldn't usually even see the crowd. But being on the street or even in really small clubs I always got more nervous because I was always more aware of the audience, it was so much more intimate which always made me feel 100 times more self conscious.
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
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! :)
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

So friggin excited for this and then Ren on Justin Hawkins. These two giving me hope for popular music!
I have watched this interview multiple times. Chinchilla is totally right every women go through the types of things she writes and sings about. She pulls so much from women’s experiences. She is just such an amazing performer. ❤️😘😘
Great interview!! Props to Chinchilla chatting to you. 2023 for music looks so good. Some great artists happening and we're witnessing their journey.
I absolutely love her. Her and Ren are magic together and I am thrilled for them both!
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'm so behind finding Chinchilla. It was her Little Girl Gone sound being used on tik tok that sent me looking up who in the world is this voice! I've been obsessed ever since. And of course I quickly learned about Ren as well. I don't know how I was so late to the party, but I'm so glad I finally got here.

I am late to the show, but Chinchilla may just go down one day as the best female performer of all time.
Awesome 😮 this is great. I think Chinchilla and Ren make each other better. It's a synchronicity! They are unabashed.
Fingers LIVE has been playing in my head all day because I watched about 3 reactions to it before work this morning.
What a fantastic interview!! You are a really, really good interviewer if you ever think of starting an interview channel I’d sub straight away. Great questions, great engagement and just the right amount of letting the interviewee talk and jumping in to help nudge along their thought process. Also what a brilliant woman Chinchilla is, very open and down to earth. Loved every second of it. Thank you very much
Great Interview! ❤ So very interesting to learn about Chinchilla and also to watch Chinchilla learn from your own insights. Wonderful!
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".
Isn't it refreshing to see an interviewer that speaks the language and understands the processes involved? Fascinating to watch. Genuine and honest from both Chris and Chinchilla. A great watch.
She's wonderful, and up until I discovered Ren and through him, Chinchilla, I was despairing because everything sounded the same. You keep doing what you do so well girl, I love it and I love the Dickensian ragamuffin look you have going, loved it first time around with Haysee Fantaysee and McLaren and you have given it your own twist....what an epic voice too!
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 KZread 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.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is such a great interview and such a joy to hear Chinchilla and find out more about her. She's fantastic.
Chinchilla, Ren and NF are artists that are REAL and human beings relate to. She is so amazing
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 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.
That was a great interview Chris. She's an amazing talent. I cannot wait to hear and see what's to come. Thank you to both of you! ❤❤
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.

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!
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
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...
OMG am 63 and love chinchilla and Ren they are my favourite artist ever ❤❤
Such a good interview. I found Chinchilla and via Ren as well. I love her so much and was super happy to get to know her a little more.
Ren and chinchilla singing together are like two soles reflecting each other beauuuutiful ❤ 😊
Her voice with Rens voice reached my soul.
Chinchilla is an amazing woman! She is beautiful, artistic, articulate, passionate, daring, a fantastic song writer and singer and the best female artist, in my opinion! She deserves recognition for her hard work and I love her new release! That was a great interview and through you, I got to see more of her beautiful spirit! Thank you for the great questions you came up with❤😊
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. ✊
Oh my. I just adore her. To see the human behind the genius…she is top tier. Let the journey continue. I am along for this spiritual ride.
Nice. You got quite deep here. Thanks for being so open, Chinchilla.
Chinchilla is absolutely gorgeous
Chinchilla is very present and aware. Also a good listener.😊
How wonderful for her to give interviews - what a lovely , talented , and amazing woman ! Thank you Chinchilla ❤❤❤
