Three Things We Don’t Know About You?
I have terrible stage fright. Although, a lot of people say I seem genuinely comfortable on stage, my palms sweat and I tend to rub my legs because of it. – I’m easily bored with my own ideas. I start songs and never finish them just to start new ones. – Before I discovered my passion for music, I wanted to be a ballerina.
Five Words To Describe You?
Authentic, determined, divine, confident, yet humble.
Pre-Studio Traditions?
I don’t really do much to prepare before I record. I’ll even go to the studio without any ideas beforehand. I try to keep my mind clear, maybe I’ll meditate but I think it’s better when I don’t think too much into it. I want everything to come naturally and if it doesn’t flow, another day will do.
Five Biggest Musical Influences?
Badu, Alicia Keys, India Arie, Sade, and SZA
Define The Music Industry
I’m gonna be honest, I know little to nothing about the music industry. it’s pretty obvious it’s becoming less about about the music and genuine interest and more about strategy and over saturation. It feels very forced and manufactured to me. I have no interest in it, I make music for me.
Any Artists or Media Personalities you would like to work with more?
I’d love to sit in with radio hosts and network with more Dj’s, bloggers, etc. Especially Little Bacon Bear. She’s such a free spirited person, i love everything about her. An artist I’d love to work with is Rico Nasty. Anyone who knows me knows I am a HUGE fan. I can’t seem to figure out how though. She has a very unique dynamic that is obviously unmatched.
Any Shout outs?
Huge shoutout to some of the most hard working artists/producers in Virginia that i know of (not in any particular order) Miah Travis, Lacree, Kwad, Breeze Park, Von sensei, ConFromThe703, Jang, Devonte Tymon, Tokyo Trendz, Andre Palace and Al Feury. But most importantly the people who support me and trust my process more than i do.
Ten Artists You Would Like To Work With?
if i could work with 10 artists RIGHT NOW it’d have to be Goldlink, Masego, Brent Faiyaz, Daniel Caesar, Smino, 6lack, Isaiah Rashad, Khalid, Tyler the Creator, and Labrinth.
