Keeping Up With The Chaldeans - Lily Alattar [10:08-13:54]

So, you were scheduled to sing. That was your first time ever. The first time ever. No way. And my family was there. My family was there and everything. So, immediately when they find out the game's cancelled, I get a call from a boss and he's like, I'm so so sorry. But I already picked out another game for you. We have, I think it was January 6th or January 7th against the Ottawa Senators you're doing US and Canadian. And I'm like, oh my gosh. Like, a regular season game. And I'm doing US and Canadian. I want the Canadian national anthem. No. Okay. Actually, no, I did know some of it. I did. I learned it and I sent a video to him. That's what it was. But I've never sang it. So, I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm doing US and Canadian. What do I do? I got a connection with the Flint Firebirds. They do Oh Canada every single home game. Okay. And then starts being old banner. And they brought me in. Yes. They brought me in for the first time. And I did it. And I they loved me and they kept bringing me back. I kept doing it. And I love singing. Okay. And then I'm going to start being old banner. So, after that game got cancelled, they actually postponed it to two days later. And I texted my boss. I was like, hey. It's back on. It's back on. You need me back. And he was like, yeah. Who's your boss? Um, he is the game presentation manager at the Detroit Red Wings. Yes. Okay. Okay. Yes. He's the one that does all the scheduling itself. A different like no agent or something. No, no. I am independent. You're your own agent. I am my own agent. Sometimes I bring my mom and I call her my manager. She holds my jackets and my water bottle and she records me. And then sometimes Kyle does that. Sometimes Kyle does that. Kyle's the backup plan B. Kyle is the backup. Yes. Backup assistant. So yeah. That's kind of how I got started with the Red Wings too. And again, just kind of snowballed. Like from there, I got a contact of this person and that person. I met this person and just scheduling me. Most recently, I've done anthems with University of Michigan, hockey and basketball. And I have woman's basketball for U of M coming up. So that was, that's honestly so incredible. How many games are we talking? So I did two hockey, two basketball, and I have two women's basketball on the books. Yes. Thank you so much. So you while you're doing all this and making all this happen, being agent L and all that stuff, your own agent, you also went to school. I did. So all while I was singing and getting all these gigs, I actually got my masters in human centered design and engineering, which a lot of people don't really know what it is. But it's basically human factors engineering and UX UI design. So kind of like designing interfaces for let's say a car, you know, screen and like display panel or maybe like a mobile app, such as, I don't know, like a gym app or Twitter or something like that. So you're basically doing kind of the front end work. You're making it look pretty, making sure the buttons are functional and make sure you're designing for people to know how to use it. Have you ever used an app? And it's just like, man, I can't even figure out where to go for this or this. So our job is to make sure that doesn't happen. Make it as user friendly as possible. Yes, exactly, as user friendly as possible. Okay. And so that those are technology things or technical things. Do you do like molding stuff to like things you can actually hold and touch? You can do prototyping for that. That's more I think of like an industrial type engineer
