• How long have you been creating music and what inspired you to start?

I’ve been creating music for the last 3 years now, and after my uncle and my close friend both passed, I didn’t have many outlets to use. I would usually just call my little sister, but then making music became helpful as well. I didn’t wanna talk much at all, and just kept writing out how I felt.

• Would you say growing up in Philadelphia helped influence you to step into a creative space? Or did you seek inspiration elsewhere?

Yes, it definitely helped influence me sometimes with all of the big voices coming out of the city. I also tap into New York City to get a lot of inspiration as well (birthplace of hip-hop).

• Do you have any artists or other creators that you studied growing up? Or even in the steps leading to your music career?

I grew up listening to Pharrell, Lil Wayne, Missy Elliot, Musiq Soul Child and Aaliyah. I’m a true fan of the music from the early 2000s and late 90s.

• Out of curiosity, which one of your releases would you say is your current favorite and what was the inspiration behind it?

“Mindset” –  I created that song in like 30 min to an hour, writing wise. I was in my mode. I had a solid hook and two sturdy verses. I was talking about my past a little more and I was feeling vulnerable as hell recording it, but that’s how I knew it was gonna be relatable. 

• Even though you are primarily an artist, do you aim to be -or- are you already a jack of all trades? (i.e producing, singing, songwriting for others, engineering, etc.)

I’m singing more, and songwriting too. It definitely doesn’t take me too long to come up with a sturdy “catchy hook”. Recently, I’ve also put a foot forward in learning how to engineer my sound.

• What is one thing you would like to contribute or change within the music industry that would help you or others as a creator?

I’d like to attend more networking events and more showcases.

• What are your goals as a creative in the next 3-5 years?

To drop fire content and perform on the biggest stages. I’d also create my own label. I wouldn’t mind also properly signing to a label and inspiring the generation after me, and lastly, I see myself on tour. 

• Where can we keep up with you?
