How would you define your music?
I have always held an immense passion for music and songwriting. One of the most extraordinary parts of being able to create music is the process is so different every time, but it all comes down to one thing: the absolute love of music.
My goal is to create music that makes listeners feel understood and less alone. While my sound may evolve over time, the essence of my music will always remain the same. I want listeners to feel a sense of belonging when they hear my songs.
Which artist inspires you the most, and who would you like to collaborate with in the future?
I am inspired by many different artists and songwriters, my co-writers and friends included. As far as musical influences, Taylor Swift continues to have the biggest impact on me as a person and as an artist/singer/songwriter. I have always been, and will always be, inspired by Taylor Swift from the words and melodies she writes to the everlasting impact she has had on the music industry.
Can you tell us about your experience going viral on TikTok and how it has impacted your music career?
Through the years, I have been able to connect with so many listeners and fans who have been kind enough to share their own stories of how they relate to my music, and I’m grateful people like the songs enough to continue to watch the content and listen to the music. While I may have written the words, the songs are theirs to make their own, and that is so incredibly magical.
Can you tell us about your new single ‘i hate the space’?
‘i hate the space’ delves into the pressure we put on ourselves to have everything figured out, and the difficulty of facing reality when things don’t go as planned. It’s about those moments of feeling alone with the weight of an uncertain future, where immersing ourselves in trivial distractions seems easier than confronting the truth.
What is the meaning behind this song?
It’s easy to feel obligated to have everything together. Getting a minute to yourself means you have to face reality, and that means facing the difficulties and realness that comes with it. The easy way out? Making plans 24/7 so you don’t have to face reality.
‘i hate the space’ touches on facing the present after plans have fallen through. How do you personally handle the pressures of an unknown future and finding yourself alone in your thoughts?
We all have days where we feel we don’t measure up, and that’s okay. When those days happen, though, I try to take a step back. It’s important to understand all that you have achieved thus far and be proud of the person you are. I’ve actually grown to love those few moments I have, where I can allow myself to be alone in my thoughts – and let myself truly feel. Just be present and feel.
What is a message you would like to give through your music and why?
As a songwriter, I have always wanted to share my stories. I fell in love with music because it became a place of solace for me, and I hope to provide that subtle piece of home for others, even if just for a few moments. I want people to know they’re never alone in what they feel, and not only is it okay to feel, but it’s good to feel. Let yourself feel.
Write here something you want to let people know.
Every song that I release is a part of my heart, and I’m happy that others can take these songs that live so close to me and make them their own.
Make sure you’re following me on socials, because there just might be some new music coming soon…
