1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?
I would say something a little more strong but with some sweetness to it – maybe a Mojito would be fitting.
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
No tour dates as of yet, I am working on new singles and ultimately my debut album, which I’ve been trying to do for a long time now. I feel like I am getting closer than ever to really put out that one project where I am really comfortable with everything and proud about it.
3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)
I like to believe that older human generations are actually smarter than what we make them out to be.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
I would say heavy streetwear with personal subtle features in accessories, small writings of symbols due to the emotional song matter and the colloquial language I use in the lyrics.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
My songs are a reflection and timeline of my life. I am talking about all my experiences, pain, trauma and hope to help people feel understood. From heartbreak, to losing my dad, I’ve been through a lot of things, many of us go through at some point in their lives. I am also very honest with myself, I don’t paint myself as a victim, I try to be reflected as can be, so that I can heal and so that others might learn from my mistakes or just feel like they aren’t alone.
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
Not the coolest talents, but I do know every country’s flag and I have the ability to learn things and get good at things really quickly. But as far as „special“ talents, nothing more comes into my mind.
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
I like to see the beauty in mundane things – makes every day a little more special and boring things can be inspiring
My head won’t stop thinking about rhymes, verses, etc. which helps me in the writing process, not at night though
I don’t like being stuck into a genre. I like to create what feels right for me and the message and having to do something else due to it being more popular or „normal“
I move pretty quick when I have an idea, I paint a picture in my head of what I want the song to be and finish the first sketch very quick
I get distracted pretty easily which leads to me sometimes finishing songs in 1 session or needing months to get it done
8. The road so far…. who or what was your biggest support??
I need to put my mother on here, she supported me, even though she doesn’t quite understand everything. She gifted me my first „good“ microphone and is really invested and happy when I tell here stuff about the music. Also my friend and manager who let me sleep on his couch, to get my first EP done, helped me build connections with other musicians and is always tryining to help me get where I want to be. Also some friends, which I go in depth about in the next question.
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
I have never been asked what life-event really made me want to pursue music.
I think it was in 2018, I switched classes in school and went to a birthday party. I didn’t know a lot of people but some knew me from before and knew I was making music with an old friend. One guy wanted to listen to my music, so I played him an old song of mine and he replayed it over and over again. This moment was really special even though I personally didn’t like the song as much, him hearing it about 30 times that night, made me want to get it going again. So about a week later I bought my first microphone and started everything back up. He is still one of my best friends and one of my biggest supporters outside of the online world.
