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?
A tequila shot. But like, mentally.
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
I just dropped my new single FMSB (Fuck Me Up So Bad). Right now, I’m in the middle of finishing my EP, I ended up rewriting some songs and adding new ones. So much has happened over the past year, from getting radio support across the UK and Europe to my career in Italy growing stronger. The love I’ve received has been insane.
But mentally? I was not okay. filming videos while having panic attacks, jumping from single to single, hoping I wouldn’t crash. I was spinning left and right, just trying to land on my feet.
This year, I had to take my mental health seriously. I had to make sure I could actually show up-not just for my music, but for myself. That starts with finishing my EP and looking inward for a bit.
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)
The Bermuda Triangle being a literal interdimensional portal. Imagine just stepping into a glitch in the universe and suddenly you’re in 2099 chilling with robots, and DJing in a neon-lit club on Mars.We need that.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Jaded London, Dr. Martens, and whatever I find on an online vintage shop at 3 am. Honestly, my wardrobe makes no sense—I’ll mix lingerie corsets, swimwear, double underwear, and baggy jeans like it’s a personality trait. Lately, I’ve been into lingerie shorts, fishnets, and my white Docs. No logic and I absolutely love it.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
The message? „Life is insane. Cope.“
I write about toxic love, limerence, borderline stories, anxiety, and growing up in the block. I always throw in a bit of sarcasm and humor. I tend to not take anything too seriously. I used to think that was just a personality trait, but apparently, it’s a coping mechanism.
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I can name any dog breed in less than three seconds. In another life, I would’ve been a vet. Or a psychic. My intuition is terrifyingly good—sometimes I feel like I can read people’s minds, which is either a gift or a curse. Also, I can hear even the tiniest note out of tune. It physically hurts. Someone fix my ears.
- I started from zero. No backup plan, just a one way ticket to nowhere.
- I literally slept in a vocal booth for three months in NYC to make music happen.
- I’ve stayed in some of the most cursed hostels in LA while casually attending Grammy parties.
- I’m a producer at heart—obsessed with making beats and sound design. Started by recreating pop songs just to study their layers.
- The first song I ever recreated? Super Bass by Nicki Minaj. Peak era.
8. The road so far…. who or what was your biggest support??
My managers and some real ones in the industry who remind me who I am when my brain forgets. But honestly? I’m my biggest supporter, and that’s all that really matters.
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
