How would you describe your core sound?

I do talk a lot about how much I love soul and funk music, but I really also love modern pop. So my core sound is truly a mix of the two! I like to say I'm pop with a lot of old school influences

How did you come up with the sound for the EP “All in my Head"?

It's just the kind of sound that came out naturally. I grew up listening and appreciating a lot of different music, but I always gravitated toward the more soulful stuff. It just flows out on its own now.

How many of the songs on the EP did you write? 

I wrote 'Still Want You' and 'Mr. Bossman' on my own and everything else I co wrote :)...and, I have to say, with some pretty cool writers.

What song is your favorite on the EP and why?

Still Want You. It's my most personal song and I always love when a song doesn't need a ton of production to make it sound just right. For this song, it's only keys and strings! I wrote it in about an hour...and it was one of those moments that I knew exactly what I wanted to say.

How do you describe your personal style?

I looove rock music. I'm a huge fan of The Pretty Reckless! I also listen to a lot of hip-hop. I am a big Kendrick Lamar and Big Sean fan.

What type of things in life inspire you?

Everything inspires me. Art inspires me, new people I meet inspire me. Everyone I encounter brings out a different part of me or a different
