1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend sipping on while they listen to your new music?
Hello, thank you! I’d say something warm—maybe a cup of tea or anything that it comforting to you. My music leans toward the hopeful but melancholic, so I really appreciate when people take a moment, get comfortable, and let themselves sink into the sound and lyrics.
2. Please give us an update—new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
There’s so much coming in the next few months, and I can’t wait to share it. My last release, Where I Don’t Have to Hide, along with its music video, is one that feels especially close to my heart.
3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which harmless theory would you wish were true? (For example, dinosaurs living inside the Earth or E.T. living in a home in California.)
I can’t think of one I’d wish were true, but I have heard some people joke that pigeons might actually be government surveillance drones—replaced with robotic spies, watching from above. When you really look at them, perched on rooftops or power lines, staring, it almost makes sense.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Any brand that plays with contrasts. I’ve really been loving Sylvi Sundkler’s and Dilara Findikoglu’s designs.
I’d say my music translates to something ethereal and edgy, with a haunting elegance.
A mix of textures—delicate but bold, traditionally inspired but unexpected.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics? Messages?
First and foremost, I write for myself. My songs are how I make sense of things—how I process my journey, especially living with a chronic heart condition. Strangely enough, I’ve always found comfort in sad music. Even when it carries sorrow, it can feel like an embrace—like someone saying the words I wasn’t ready to speak yet. I hope my songs can do that for others, too.
6. Besides music, do you have any special talents?
I’d say my understanding of technical subjects like programming or sound engineering is a “talent” I’ve been very thankful to fall back on over the years. It has definitely helped me as a music producer, even though I didn’t initially see how it would. It’s also something people don’t really expect from me, even though by now, there are so many technically skilled and trained women out there.
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
1. I write and produce most of my songs on my own
2. When I produce I try to create and design sounds that resemble the emotional I felt writing the song
3. I love poetry and writing in metaphors, lyrics are very important to me
4. Music is my form of processing so one song can be about multiple things
5. I believe one of the rawest forms of art comes from expressing sadness. But that doesn’t mean you have to be in pain to create art or that you can’t move on from the sadness and still be a creative.
8. The road so far… Who or what has been your biggest support?
I’ve been lucky to have my family, friends, and management by my side—especially as I navigate my health while building my career. I also have wonderful, loyal friends in the music industry. That makes this world feel a little less chaotic, a little more fun. A lot of my new songs were written about my partner—about the feeling of finding someone who isn’t burdened by some of the things
I go through (like operations or certain things with my health). I’ve never had that before so he’s been a rock.
9. A question you’d like to answer but have never been asked in an interview before?! (+ Answer, please.)
If your sound were a place, what would it look like?
If my sound were a place, it would look like the forest I used to wander through as a child. The golden light used to spill through the trees every evening and it was so quiet you could hear the wind in the leaves. My mother says I’ve always been a melancholic child, even more so after my diagnosis. So whenever sadness felt too heavy, I would go there.
In that space, I could breathe, let my thoughts settle, and exist without needing to be anything to anyone. I want my music to be that space not only for myself but for others too.
