How does your creative process work? Was it different for this track?
I don’t really have a formula…I just tend to start with a good line that I feel is strong enough to develop into a song. Giant Feelings is no different in that respect – however, the difference is that I had just gotten into writing pop songs with my friend Max Margolis and so I was really diving into the world of structure more than I ever have. But I always have to have a good line in mind…Old habits die hard.
Tell us about being hit up by Bruno Major and joining him on stage at 17. What do you remember from that experience and what did it teach you?
It all seems like a fever dream to me now. I was 17 and had dropped out of music school so everything was moving very fast, and it was madness! It taught me so much about live performance. I just got to hone my craft whilst also getting to be in the bad of my favourite artist. I think there is such a difference between learning how to perform live and just getting out there and learning through doing it. And I was so so lucky to have that privilege and even more lucky that Bruno Major himself gave it to me.
What’s 2023 looking like for you? Goals, projects etc?
I think aside from learning how to drive, I’m going to be touring and starting to put together my next album which is already brewing in me.
How would you describe your style in a few words?
Oh gosh…I guess Lo-fi, RnB with a dash of songwriter pop? But honestly, who knows?!
How do you think your music has evolved through the years and where are you trying to take it?
I think I’ve just grown up, been through more and listened to different music so that will naturally have a huge impact on how I sound and how the music feels. I have no idea where I’m trying to take it…I just want to keep making music that I like and that I would listen to and I have a sneaky suspicion that that’s going to involve my music changing a lot over the coming years because I, also, hope to change over the coming years. The nice thing is I feel like my music to me will always be like a stamp in a passport – I’ll always be taken back to whatever time in my life it was made…as long as the music keeps changing with me.
What does success mean to you as an artist?
I’ll let you know!
