Have you always wanted to be a musician? When did you get the song writing bug?
I’ve wanted to be a musician ever since I could remember. The writing bug definitely kicked in during my teen years but I kept that all to myself back then. I also completed a diploma in music with a focus in songwriting to polish my skills and had the option of continuing to a Bachelor but found I preferred actually writing the songs instead writing assignments about writing the songs so here we are a few years later and I can’t stop waiting songs – it’s the thing I’m most passionate about.

How would you describe your sound? Why do you think people resonate with your music?
Apart from the fact that I like my songs to be full of energy, if you really listen to the lyrics, I’m just a gal being honest about her feelings, navigating life and a love life as a 20 something year old – which people resonate with because they’ve either gone through or are going through similar things. Outside of that I like my songs to be catchy, cleverly written and above all, easy to bop to so even if you can’t relate to the lyrics, you stay vibin’.

Which artist’s music and/or performance, past or present, inspires you today?
The lists of artists that inspire me is ever changing. My biggest inspirations at the moment would be Kaytranada, Kali Uchis, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, PinkPantheress, Brent Faiyaz and SZA – (how good is her new album!?!). Each of these artists are so different from one another but I love everything they create sonically, lyrically and visually, so I hope you pick up on the influences with what I create.

Your new single ‘Run’ has just been released! Describe its origin and evolution.
Would you believe it, the chorus to this one came to me in the shower – like a lot of my songs do. But it was inspired by a situation where my emotions were treated like a yo-yo by someone I cared about. The song itself went through a few evolutions – it started as an 80s’ pop – think ‘Is There someone Else’ by the Weeknd, and I liked it, but having a song called ‘Run’ that sounded like a brisk walk wasn’t going to cut it. I had been listening to PinkPantheress on repeat and thought I’d play with the uk garage/ drum n bass sound that I love so much and – ran with it if you will.

Is there an EP or Album on the drawing board?
Absolutely there’s an EP in the works. My goal at the moment is to keep releasing singles on a 4-6 week basis to build a bit more of a portfolio with an EP scheduled for the second half of 2023 – I also really want to show people that I’m not a one-genre kind of artist. Each single will be pretty different from the last, paying homage to the genres of music I love most sprinkled with lots of ALBI. flair. I love to keep people guessing what’s next so I’m itching to share everything I’ve been working on.
