PRE SAVE THE TRACK HERE
Tell us about your story as an artist?
I guess I just started to love music and then to make music and to understand music. I used to be scared to show it to people, I kept it to myself, I didn’t think that by any means, it was worth listening to. After a long time of denial, I joined a band. We used to release music together, that’s where it all started and I realized how happy I was and how it was somehow worth listening to. I left them, I started to work by myself, I needed more freedom, you know? To actually create, to think by myself; and here I am.
What do you think is the most important aspect of your life right now?
I have been valuing my personal life a lot lately, relationships in general, but now I realize how I need to balance that with my work. It is very hard to cope sometimes.
What makes this song special in your opinion?
It is special because I enjoyed it the most, you know? It’s a funny track. I had Covid during the recording, me and my boyfriend, Gabriel Abreu, who is featured in the song. We were isolated and my voice was so incredibly bad for a week because I was sick, you know? And the day we composed this, it was like, the first time my voice sounded good and I was so happy. We just randomly wrote it out of a name I had in my head. It is special, I guess.
What inspired this track?
I had the words “Our Insecurities” in my head for a long time. Months, actually. I knew things I should write about and I knew names and I wanted to name them. I had already finished my EP, Gemini, it has no release date yet, but when I was done, something was off, I needed something more, one more song; and a name I thought of months and months ago came to my head, it was “Our Insecurities”. I knew I needed this song and it came to life, it just happened.
What are some of the core messages here?
I guess the song is just about how difficult it is to love and to be loved and to love someone who you don’t understand. You never really understand anybody or know anybody, that is why it is so hard to be at peace when you feel and fall this hard. It used to mean nothing at first, since I just named it. We wrote it randomly, then it was something. We did not ever think of it, we just made it, I guess that’s the fun part about it.
How do you think tik tok and social media are contributing to change an artist’s career?
Social media is a big game-changer to the industry. It gives independent artists, like me, a chance to show their work very easily. It is very beneficial for everyone, you can connect and share and express yourself. It is great.
What excites you about your life?
I guess the fact that there’s still a chance to be somebody and to do something, you know? It’s like a blank notebook and I can scribble all over it.
What are some of your core values as a human being?
I believe in respecting yourself and respecting other people. Respect, in general, is really important, I guess. When we respect people and respect ourselves, we are able to be who we are and to do what we want to do, it is so important and so essential.
What are your projects for this year?
Releasing my EP, Gemini. Singing more, having more fun.
