I think when you’re in these settings, and there’s all these important people, you kind of just think … I walk into that room, and I think everyone hates me for some reason.” He further added that the team had been rehearsing the performance for the whole week, and everything had been perfected. He still does not know what actually happened the night of the malfunction. He recalled his reactions on the night of his Grammy debut, citing, “We rehearsed it all week. They’re like, ’30 seconds,’ and I said, “I can’t hear anything. I can’t hear myself,” and the guy’s like, ‘It’s live TV, 25 seconds,’ and I go, ‘Guys, something’s wrong,’ Something gets blasted into left ear, and right ear I hear nothing, and I go, ‘Guys, I can’t hear.’”
