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?
Thank you so much for having me. So, I am big fan of anything tequila. I mean, come on, it’s the only alcoholic beverage that’s an upper and thats the sensation of my music! Good vibes, extremely gay, high adrenaline, all a curation from the heart and my life’s experiences. So yes an upper 🙂
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
So, Supernova just came out. It’s my favorite single thus far just because it’s a celebration of authenticity and truth. I wrote Supernova as if I were dialoguing with my younger self. Letting him know he would soon be reborn, explode into iridescent light, so bright, free, and proud! A story for everyone. I also wanted people to feel like they were at a festival of the future while listening to Supernova, a safe space, a moment to manifest a self that could just dance and feel inspired. I have two singles on the way and a visual. My favorite of the two is called Baby, Is the Moment. It’s an extremely intense hyper-pop BOP! A song about love, healing, and continually falling for the bad boy. We all have our baby, we must let them have their moment, and in so we can heal. I will be preforming live starting in the fall. Expect the unexpected. SUPERNOVA!!
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)
Honestly, I would love to answer this question but I have no insight on conspiracy theories.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
OHH THATS FUN! I love, love, Chrome Hearts. I live in street wear and Chrome does the best job of curating garments and jewelry that tell a story that can be literal yet is so beautifully executed. The style is fresh and clean but also funky. Like my music Chrome Heart’s garments can be hype, so colorful and interesting but also a moment so cozy, that just want to relax into that oversized hoodie. Chrome is so artistic and thought out and thats how I curate my music. Intention behind everything!
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
Yes, so my music is very literal. If you want a song about saying goodbye to love listen to Paris. If you want a song about craving sex and intimacy dance to Feel Your Love. If you need to keep the spirit of pride going bop to Supernova or Tomorrowland. At the end of the day you’re going to dance and feel. I LOVE to write and it’s imperative to me that the lyrics feel connected to every beat, melodic line, instrument, and synth. We’re producing a feeling.
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I’m a therapist – so let’s talk mental health!
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
1. I was classically trained – I LOVE THE THEATRE. It inspires my music. 2. Being a therapist, sometimes my clinical mind gets captured in my lyrics. 3. Being gay is a big source of inspiration for all my work and I hope it allows those on their journey (as well are) to connect, feel, and heal.4. I also love Disney. I so find myself engulfed in escapism and when creating sometimes I can feel myself somewhere in a Disney Park or in a world curated in the movie. 5. I really want to make others happy, so I hope my music makes you HAPPY!
8. How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??
Years of hard work (and it doesn’t stop). I have been training since I was very young.
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
How am I doing?
I am doing well. I feel so much love and joy from a beautiful pride weekend. Maybe too many tequilas but HEY, its an upper. Happy pride. So much love to everyone.
