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?

Honestly?  Apple juice from a juice box 🍎. There’s something about it that instantly takes you back to childhood — simple, sweet, and a little bit nostalgic.

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

My new single “Anxious” is out now! 🎧 It’s definitely one of the most personal songs I’ve released. You can stream it on all platforms, and there’s also a music video on YouTube! I hope it helps anyone struggling with anxiety feel seen and less alone. 🖤

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’d have to go with the Tooth Fairy! 🧚‍♀️ There’s something so magical about the idea that a fairy is out there rewarding little milestones with surprise gifts — like, imagine if adulthood still came with tiny presents every time we lost a part of ourselves (emotionally or otherwise 😅).

4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

If my music were a fashion style, it would be gender-fluid streetwear layered with childhood nostalgia – like dress-up clothes that somehow still fit, reimagined with confidence and edge.

5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?

I tend to write songs that are honest, relatable, and full of earworms. Lately, a lot of my music has focused on themes like mental health awareness, self-love, and the pressure to be perfect in a very curated world.

6. Besides music, do you have any special talents?

Haha — I have a strangely wild memory. If you tell me your birthday once, I’ll never forget it. It’s both impressive and slightly creepy in the best way.

7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist:

1. I’ve been writing songs seriously since I was 13. ✍️

2. Through music, I try to say the things people are usually scared to say out loud.

3. One of my biggest early influences is probably Fleetwood Mac🎸

4. I never formally studied music — and I think that gives me creative freedom.

5. Lately, I’ve also been writing and producing for other artists, which has been super rewarding! 🎛️

8. The road so far… who or what has been your biggest support?

My family is so supportive! – I am so lucky because sadly, not all artists can say the same.

9. A question you’d like to answer, but have never been asked? 

What is one of your favorite places to write music?

Honestly? My car! 🚗 There’s something about being alone on the road that lets my thoughts flow without judgment. I’ll voice-note entire car rides just to catch the melodies and lyrics as they come. It’s the one space where I can create without overthinking.
