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.
