我大概12歲開始學吉他

My mom got me a couple of lessons, but I mostly self-taught and

我媽幫我報名了幾堂課，不過我大部分是靠自己摸索的

then the singing kind of went along with it to be honest.

老實說，唱歌是自然而然發生的

>> So you wanted to play guitar and that’s why she got you the guitar and

所以就是你想要彈吉他，然後她就買了吉他給你

then you just started singing.

然後你就開始唱歌了

我也不知道原因

that's why 3 million people have watched it.

這就是有300萬人看過你的視頻的原因

You're born to do this, that's why.

你是天生好手，這就是原因

Because it's in your soul, you can tell.

因為這些都在你的靈魂中，就是這樣

So you perform on the street as we saw and that's how I saw you.

所以你就像我們看到的那樣，在街頭表演，也正是我會注意到你的原因

And that's called busking?

這叫做街頭藝人對嗎？

>> Yeah, busking.

是，街頭藝人

街頭藝人，所以有錢賺

Why do you like performing on the street?

為什麼你要在街頭表演？

So when they walk by, do most of them stop?

所以當他們經過的時候，大部份的都人會停下來嗎?

Does it feel weird if they don't stop?

如果他們不停下來你會覺得不對勁嗎？

Do you look at them and try to follow them?

你是不是會試著一直盯著他們?

>> [LAUGH] >> Some people stop and video,

〔笑聲〕有些人會停下來拍我表演的視頻

which is the people that come up and say you're so good, thank you.

這些人會過來並且告訴我，我很棒， 謝謝你們

還有那些直接走過去的人，你會看他們一眼

give them a cheeky wink.

你賺的錢都用在哪裡了？

最棒的部分是當我回到家並且決定買個新的吉他

I don't actually have to go to my mom, I can do it all myself.

我不需要再依靠我媽媽，我可以用自己的錢來買

It takes a bit of weight off of her shoulders as well,

這樣可以減輕一點她的負擔

cuz I don't have to rely on her for money.

因為我不用在經濟上依賴她了
