I remember when I was like 17, I won this one contest and it was a big, huge success for me. And I remember everyone was so happy. Nobody was hating on me yet. And that's when everything started, you know?
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
But the concept that everything's gone, completely gone. And that year was so big for me in ways that it was a big failure for me. Because, you know, last year I won a contest. The next year I go there and I sing. I just like, I'm just not myself. You know, I just have the voice and that's it.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
And it was biggest failure for me, but it made me realize how important it is to take care of my body, take care of myself. And just to be, you know, not to lose my confidence because it's very... Especially in what you do, you know. What I do on stage, I have to be 100% confident.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
It worked very hard. Every day at the gym, doing the healthy eating and everything. But still, you know, it's like... For me, as a girl who is a singer and is on the stage, for me to look good is very important. Because when I look good, I feel good. I am 100% confident. I have different energy. I feel like I'm shining. And imagine when I don't have that, that's when it's big.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
I would go and say that, like, don't worry. Everything is going to be like the way that you want it to be. And you don't have to cry over it. You know, you don't have to push something that is not meant for you. You know, because I like when I was a kid, I was like, oh, it doesn't work. Like, I'm going to push. I'm going to push. I'm going to push. Maybe that place is for me.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
But, you know, I was meant to bigger places. So I would tell myself that, that don't worry, that place is not meant for you, that environment was not meant for you, and you are meant for something bigger, and that happened.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
Yeah. Love it. That's what I would say.
Living The Red Life

They could go on YouTube, write my name, Nutza, and it pops up. Immediately, and also on Spotify, I had a really good year this year. I had a lot of listeners, I had a lot of streams. I was dreaming to see those numbers.
Living The Red Life

Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
Yes. Yes, exactly. To be a singer, everybody thinks that it's fun. It's so fun. And you go somewhere, are you a singer? Could you sing for us? It's so nice. We love singing. And everybody's saying, oh, I wish I sang. But actually, it's very hard.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
To, you know, be on spotlight, you know, and once you do something big, then you want to do something bigger and then you want to do something bigger and then you want to do something bigger.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
And, you know, to be, you know, thinking all the time about it and to be fully into in this, you know, it's very hard to then live your personal life as well, you know, and then to balance your personal life and career is kind of very hard.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
I realized that the most important thing is like to stay true to yourself, you know, don't change for anybody. And the most important thing, what I've realized this month is
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
The big moment. And you kind of like every year, like since I was a kid, I wanted to have like every year something bigger and bigger happening. So I kind of programmed my mind and myself that every year you got to go higher, you got to go higher, you got to go higher. And that it's kind of like punishment as well for yourself, to be honest.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
Yeah, because you're always like, you always want more, you always want more. But also I learned how to like live in the present as well. And, you know, and when I have... the best moments, I fully enjoy it.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
And also, other thing is what I think that, you know, for example, you know, you come from England, right? And I come from Georgia, right? And it's kind of also like you have to be also a person of like, you know, you cannot be so into your culture and into your small country. You know, you have to make your eyes and make yourself like...
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
like open it's like the world the world's your oyster right like you gotta try and yeah do whatever you can because i was thinking like if i'm gonna uh act the same way if i'm not gonna show myself yeah up to to everything like how how these people are gonna know that you know there is a singer coming from georgia like no one really cares in america i mean you gotta i
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
Very hard. But in my case on American Idol, it happened like I was not even living here. I was living in Dubai by the time. And I just sent my videos. I tried. And you know, and then it all started happening like that.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
something, like something bad happens. Yeah, always. Like, in a ways, maybe in the family, maybe in your personal life, maybe in career, maybe there's something happens and your, your career starts to go down. And then I think the strongest people and the most successful people is, is like, they are very strong because you gotta be strong to, you know,
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
Hip fighting and stand up because standing up is harder actually than achieving success, you know, because I remember when I was like 17, I won this one contest and it was a big, huge success for me. And I remember everyone was so happy. Nobody was hating on me yet. You know, everybody was so happy and I was so lovely at that. And that's when everything started, you know.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
Exactly. Exactly. Because then, you know, you have some status and people are waiting from you to, you know, when something is happening, you've got to make a statement. You know, then you make a statement. Then some people don't like you.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
So I realized that the most important thing is like to stay true to yourself, you know, don't change for anybody. And the most important thing, what I've realized this month is that, you know, bad people, they're going to try. They're going to try a lot to put you down and they're going to try you to make like they are, you know, like bad habits.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
bad people well bad people are they they live on they have nothing for them going and they have all the time in the world to try and make other people suffer yeah so you know i had like many many you know thoughts about that i'm like like why those people are like ours why they are like so hateful towards me i didn't do anything wrong right to them yeah yeah but they wanna they trying to make you
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
bad guy if they want to try to make you the same way as they are so the most important thing is like to stay true to yourself and and you know remember who you really are and you know just keep fighting and just you know
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
But it's really hard. So people who want to be successful and get successful, this is what I'm going to say, be ready for that.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
You know, when you're a kid, especially when you... I started my career when I was 16 years old. And when you're a kid, everyone looks at you, oh, she's so cute, she's so... And then when you grow up and you get bigger than they actually are, especially like singer, you know, like... And they see you as their competition. And then they try to put you down in any ways they can.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
And you've got to be ready for that. It doesn't matter how good of a person you are. It doesn't matter how kind of a person you are. With that type of people, with that kind of people, you just have to be like, don't look them. Don't give them any attention. Don't give them any energy. And just, you know, ignore. Ignore completely. That's what drives them crazy.
Living The Red Life
The Dark Side of Fame & Success w/Nutsa Buzaladze
