Give us a potted history of yourself

I’ve been making music since I was about 11 years old, but never released anything until recently. I’m currently working on my album with Maya K and it’s going to be released next year which I am really excited for.

Who inspired you to start making music

My mom and her friend Rosie Mac were the ones who inspired me to start making music. Me and rosie would record covers together when I was younger, and my mom has always been there for me and helping me do what I love.

And the one or maybe two records that inspired you artistically

I like a lot of different ones. I love The Soft Parade and An American Prayer albums by The Doors. I’m obsessed with The Doors and those two albums are my favorite ones.

If you’re trying to explain whom you sound like to someone that’s never heard you, what do you say

I would say a mix of Lana Del Rey and Madison Beer.

Tell us about your new track

I worked on Heaven To Me with Maya K and Mark Nilan. The song is about a girl who’s in love with a bad boy and ignores all the red flags. I’m not sure about what gears we used, I’m not great with technical stuff haha.

Where can we get hold of it

It’s out on every streaming platform.

Tell us how you write

Nowadays I’m really into gathering inspiration from old school retro movies and kinda making little spin off stories off of that.

Tell us about your live show What would be your dream gig

I haven’t performed live yet but I see my future shows as being very cinematic and visually story telling because that’s how my music is. My dream place to perform is Coachella.

What can we expect from you in the near future

I’m releasing 2 more songs this year and then an album next year.

Tell us your favourite records that’s rocking your headphones/tour bus/stereo

That’s a good question cause there’s so many great songs out there but if I would have to choose one I would say one of my favourite songs would have to be The Woman Is A Devil by The Doors.
