## Interview

**Let’s talk about your newest release, “Disease” – how did that song come about for you? What’s the story behind it?**

The inspiration behind my song “Disease” was a relationship I was in a couple years ago. It was an emotional rollercoaster and toxic for me, like a disease.

**What inspired the music video concept?**

I wanted the music video to follow the lyrics to the song as much as it could with a lot of visuals, so I would say the lyrics to the song inspired the video concept in a very literal sense!

**Are there any memorable moments from filming the video that you can share with us?**

Yes! It didn’t actually make it to the music video, but we had a scene where my dancers had to continually jump into this fluffy bed with different poses. It was hilarious watching them jump into the bed and it definitely entertained me for a while haha.

**Musically, what’s next for you? What should fans be expecting from you for the rest of the year?**

I’m currently working on a full album so be on the lookout for it!

**Growing up, which artists do you remember loving? Do they still influence your sound today?**

I remember loving Stacie Orrico and singing all her songs in my basement with my sister. YES she still does influence my sound today.

**What’s the songwriting process usually like for you?**

Most importantly, I have to be wearing comfortable clothes. Haha. Then I usually just go into a room with doors that I can close to shut everything out. I have to be in the zone to write from the heart.

**Is there a song that you absolutely love that you wish you wrote?**

Yes! I wish I wrote “New Rules” by Dua Lipa because It’s a BOP. It’s so clever and relatable.

**When it comes to stage presence, which artists are you inspired by?**

I’m definitely inspired by Demi Lovato when it comes to stage presence. She’s always dancing around the stage and interacting with her fans while singing, and I love it.

**What do you hope fans take away from you and your music?**

I want to make music to let my fans know that it’s okay to love yourself, and it’s okay to leave a relationship or friendship that seems toxic to them.

**What’s the best way for fans to get your attention on social media?**

If they share their favorite songs at the moment with me. I love talking about new music.

**How important is to you to use your platform for good?**

It is SO important. Since I have so many people that read my tweets, it’s important for me to use that platform to help and inspire others.

**What’s been the highlight of your year so far?**

The highlight of my year has been releasing TWO original songs (With more to come in the future!)

**What’s something you’re still hoping to cross off your list this year?**

To put out one more song and music video before the year ends.

**How would you describe your personal style? Favorite stores to shop at?**

I would say my style is trendy with a little bit of edginess to it. I looooove Fashion Nova, and Forever 21. Those are my “go to” places.

**If you could raid any celebrity’s closet, whose would it be?**

Zara Larsson’s or Dua Lipa’s. We literally have the same style.

**Which artist(s) have you had on repeat lately?**

Definitely Demi Lovato’s new album along with Dua Lipa’s album too! They’re both so good.

**Any special message for your fans?**

YES! I love you guys so much and I can’t wait to continue this journey with y’all!
