How would you describe your sound or artistic style to someone hearing you for the first time?
My sound is distinctive & upbringing it wouldn’t matter on any topic I speak about for anyone that listens to my music they will instantly fall in love with it something that will never be forgotten
When did you first realize you wanted to pursue music (or art) seriously?
I never had no passion for music until the moment i went through a lot of personal experiences that nobody could understand how i felt like feeling unworthy & alone, music became my therapy when i used to listen to vulnerable artists then that made me want to start making music and speak on my own life that people can relate to.
Who or what are your biggest influences, both musically and outside of music?
So one of my biggest influences that came to me from the very start would be a couple melodic artists like Rod Wave, Polo G & Juice Wrld when they speak on their life, Speaker Knockerz who was the first melodic artist i heard back in 2014 and for R&B artists i would say Neo Soul, Bryson Tiller, Tory Lanez & The Weeknd. Growing up in Wyandanch, New York based in Long Island around the streets i used to be around a lot of artists and all different types of music like Dancehall, R&B, Hip Hop and more i could also say i got influence from some people i knew who were rapping it made me thought it was fun at first but now I take it seriously
How does your personal life or background shape your creative process?
Whenever i make a song, it would have to do with on how im feeling or reminiscing about the personal struggles i went through & love in general
Can you walk us through your creative process from idea to finished project?
Usually i write whatever comes in mind that can fit the vibe of a beat, i would harmonize how i want to start off something smooth all just by the type of music i like to make & then i record it, add the adlibs listen to it a couple times then im done
What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far as an emerging artist?
The biggest challenge I faced as an emerging artist is how when some people see potential in you they try to make a brand off of you like use you or you will face people that are secretly jealous and want to be in competition with you rather than show genuine love.
What moment in your journey made you feel like this could really become something big?
When i opened up for Cash Cobain, Lil Tjay & Fivio Foreign a few years ago being in front of a lot of people watching and recording you, it felt like the right moment im really starting to pop off and how alot of people I don’t know show so much love and wanted to get my socials and wanted me to perform at more venues it felt like i was doing something right.
How do you balance staying authentic while also thinking about growth and visibility?
Just remember who you are as a person it’s simple. Be yourself, don’t let anyone tell you difference. Take it day by day and from there you will grow as long as you are committed to what you want to achieve
What themes or emotions do you find yourself returning to in your work?
I would say courage, vulnerability, healing & growth easily noticed by others
What sets you apart from other artists coming up right now?
As an artist it would just come off from never being to afraid to speak up and express myself in ways no one really could ever want to speak up on for example Life Story, Love, Heartbreak & Personal doubt
Is there a song, project, or piece of work that feels especially personal to you?
Why?
I learned that im able to market myself out there with confidence then I ever had before and if some people don’t like my music, I learn to accept it and keep pushing
If you could collaborate with any artist right now, who would it be and why?
I have a couple on the list but it will come off with what I said from the start like other artist influences I start to easily connect and relate to. I would say Bryson Tiller because we would both make something that people won’t ever forget about. I would say Breez Kennedy because we both have our own stories, creativity thoughts and processes. I would also collab with The Weeknd since alot of people are telling me that I sound like him and that I remind them of The Weeknd a lot and for how he speaks on love & how he feels
What can listeners or viewers expect from your upcoming releases?
Expect more new music to drop every other week, including an EP as well.
