Q:When you decide it’s time to make a new record, is that more exciting or stressful?

Ans: “This is actually a tricky question! Typically it’s exciting because that means something has inspired me to want to actively sing on a particular topic, in some cases though, the topic itself could have been an experience that was stressful to me, and now I’m using the song as an outlet. It’s sort of sad when put into a different perspective.”

 Q: What’s your motto or the advice you live by?

Ans: “My motto is always to dance like nobody’s watching. It seems that fear of ridicule or the need of validation from society tends to keep the best of us from showing our true selves, our beautiful selves- I don’t ever want to be that person.”

Q: For our readers who have never heard your music, explain your sound in 5 words?

Ans: “Smooth, Exciting, Beyoncé Type RnB”

Q: You write all of your own music; where do you draw inspiration from when you write songs and what’s your favorite part about the process?

ANS: “I always draw inspiration from my every day experiences, or how I am just feeling at that time. If something makes me sad, I try to channel that energy into something positive, or if I’m just simply feeling myself, I write a song to a bumpy beat so my fans can feel it too. My favorite part is definitely figuring out the harmonies and the runs I’ll do to add substance to the song.”

Q:Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to sing as a career or just advice about careers in general?

Ans : “People do whatever they want, they do whatever they feel is the most important to them. For everything else, they make excuses. If you have a passion- or an undeniable dream, you need to want it like you want to breathe, just don’t hold your breath. Don’t hold yourself back. There’s no excuse for that.”

Q: If you had a soundtrack to your life what song/songs would have to be on it?
