We asked her a few questions about her music and more
What is the favorite song you wrote and why?
I don’t release a song unless I LOVE it so it’s super hard to choose from! I do have a special place in my heart though for the oldest teenager and Newbury park! Those 2 will always be my babies and just come straight from my heart.
Who are your all time musical icons?
Ooo that’s also a rough one. I will forever be obsessed with Lennon Stella, Tayler swift, Tame Impala, and Frank Sinatra! Everything about their artistry and music is so special.
Who are you binge listening to these days?
Recently I’ve been on a John Mayer wave! I play his stuff on repeat 24/7. Also binging Dua Lipa and Kacey Musgraves at the moment!
Favorite movie or TV show?
New Girl is my current favorite tv show (I’m in love with it), but also was obsessed with queen’s gambit and umbrella academy! Just waiting for season 2 on both:) And my all time favorite movies are how to lose a guy in 10 days, pretty women, and the notebook!
Tell us about “Bedroom Walls” and how it came about.
I wrote this song about a feeling that I had felt many times growing up. I always went to these parties and places and felt so lonely even though I was in rooms filled with people! I dealt with a lot of fake friends and spent way too much time crying or getting angry over people who didn’t even care about me genuinely! Lol now I look back and laugh at all those times when I did cry! I realized after a while that I’d much rather have a few real friends in my life than tons of fake ones. I thought it would be a cool analogy to talk about being best friends with your walls, and it’s true! I’d rather be home in my bed than be at a party where I know I won’t be myself! That’s where the song inspo came from:)
Do you have any peculiar pre or post show rituals?
I haven’t been able to perform any of my music live yet so don’t have any at the moment! But I’m sure I’ll pick some up when I hit the road;)
Who inspires your looks and aesthetics?
Honestly there’s not just one thing that inspire my style! I sort of pick it up from just little things here and there or my own inspiration. Been really into Pinterest through ever since quarantine hit, and that drove a lot of my inspo!
What is the achievement or moment in your career you are the most proud of and why?
Wow, well definitely would have to be either my signing with APG, which i still can’t wrap my head around, or that I have over millions of streams on my music! Those 2 things have been huge for me and it feels so surreal.
