What inspired the song and music video for “I Don’t Mind”?

The production set the tone and inspired me to be my sassy and upfront self. The bassline is so demanding – I thought it would be a perfect time to show my bossy persona with a side of sexy. With the groove put together, I HAD to go retro. I love the ’70-’80s era with the fashion, music, sense of style in all aspects. Totally was in my Donna Summers bag! 

Do you get inspired by other types of art forms?

Yes, I get inspired creatively by the art forms I’m familiar with. I just respect art as a whole and the courage and vulnerability it takes to share it with the world. It’s so beautiful.

Any funny anecdotes from the time you were recording, writing, or filming “I Don’t Mind”?

YES! While writing, recording, and shooting, the team and I would respond to each other with an “I DON’T MIND” like on the record. Just bust out into song. We still do it to this day.

What’s your favorite place or environment to write?

Even though I’ve always been the type to write anywhere, even with recording voice memos, my favorite is laying out in the sun near a body of water. It’s just so inspiring to me and really clears my mind. 

What’s a song or album that shaped your creativity?

Off the top of my head, I’d have to say Prince’s album and film Purple Rain. The emotion, the energy, and the sincerity are addicting. It definitely shaped my approach to songwriting and showmanship.

Who is an artist or band you look up to today?

Alex Isley has my attention more these days, I really have a whole list lol I just love her effortless vibe.

Not too big on labels & boxing things in. 

What does music and art mean to you?
