What kind of message do you want to convey with your music?
I always want listeners to consume my message however they relate. I think the most special part of making art is when someone actually understands and relates to it, and when they feel the emotions you feel, I love being able to have that connection with people. In every song I make I try to keep it universal so it can reach everyone. Writing to me has always been my theory session, so each song always has a different story, whether that’s about motivation, society, self reflection, love, heart break, etc.
What’s your advice for young women that want to become poly instrumentalists and artists like you?
Don’t be afraid to start, there is no wrong way to make art, the only wrong way to make art is not making any at all. Everyone has to start somewhere, and remember your dreams are never too big, have faith in yourself.
What are you working on these days? Anything you can share?
