Erzähl uns von dir, wer bist du und woher kommst du?

I would describe myself as a premier role player. I try to make myself available for whatever the setting calls for. From engineering and producing to songwriting and playing instruments, I never want to limit my musical contributions.

Wie wurde deine Leidenschaft für Musik geboren? Wer sind deine Vorbilder?

I have had a natural gravitation to music for as long as I can remember, no genre was safe. I’ve always loved every part of a song from the lyrics to the instrumentation, it all felt so immersive. Artists like Andre 3000, 50 Cent, Kanye West, and J Cole really helped shape my musical palate.

Welche Art von Musik machst du?

As an artist, I specialize in Hip Hop lyricism. As a musician, I spend most of my time compassing jazz on my tenor saxophone and drum set. As a songwriter, I genre-bend. I enjoy writing Pop, R&B, and Afrobeats for various artists around the world.

Was ist der wichtigste Song für dich? Welche Botschaft willst du den Zuhörern vermitteln?

As cliche as it may sound, my most important song as yet to be released. I have so many demos of profound concepts that still need to be polished but in due time. My overall message to my audience has always been authenticity, being yourself at all times is a point I genuinely can’t stress enough.

Warum sollte ein Hörer, der dich nicht kennt, deine Musik hören?

To support me is to support yourself. My music is about authenticity and remaining true to yourself so it really doesn’t take much to get behind a message that simple.

Was sind deine zukünftigen Projekte? Wo siehst du dich in 5 Jahren?

I have recently planted my feet into the licensing/sync world so you can be prepared to hear me on some of your favorite shows and/or commercials. In the next 5 years I see myself with songwriting plaques from some of the best artists out both new and old.

Erzähle unseren Lesern eine lustige Episode aus deiner Karriere als Künstlerin.

I can recall meeting Trey Songz in the studio one time to chop it up and play some new music for him. At the time, the studio suite only had me and my engineer in it but shortly after Trey arrived it felt like every woman in the building was crammed into this suite.
