What inspires you? 

To be honest i'm inspired by everything around me, from having conversations with a friend to watching something that can spark an idea. I recently took a road trip cross country from NY back to LA and felt so free and liberated. I'm excited to see what songs will come from taking that trip. 

Please share your music journey 

I’ve always wanted to be a musician –– I just wasn’t sure what path to take at first. As time went on, I was able to connect with amazing songwriters and producers that really helped me start to discover myself and my sound as an artist. It definitely hasn’t been an overnight thing for me. What you’re seeing now is years of hard work, dedication and relentless drive. I'm so grateful for the journey as it's taught me so much about the business and understanding my needs. 

What are three things you can’t live without? 

Family, Music & Traveling

What does style mean to you?

For me, style is all about how I feel at the moment. I don't there's any rules when it comes to it. I'm here for anything that makes me feel good and exudes confidence. 

Latest body of work, and the meaning/message behind it?

My latest EP, 'Eventually Pt. 1' is all about the journey and learning to navigate through all that life throws your way. I want to encourage my listeners to trust the process and know that no matter the obstacle we eventually arrive at our destination.
