“What were some early inspirations that led you to your creative spirit?”
Earliest inspirations were prince and Stevie wonder, but I also grew up listening to a lot of Neptunes music.

“Which aspects of your music do you enjoy the most and feel express you best as an artist?”
I feel like the music has always been the main focus but I’ve been trying to get better at my public image / video making recently and it’s been fun.

​“How do you prefer your creative environment, with ultimate freedom and no structure, or slightly more focused and logical?”
​
Ultimate freedom, that’s why I produce everything and write everything myself. I don’t like relying on others.​

“Has growing up in the UK shaped your style & interest significantly?”Not really, my family are American so most of the music I grew up with was American too.

“Who are some of your favorite performers and what about their music connects with you?”
One of the best recent performances I’ve seen is Cory Henry and the funk apostles. The pure virtuosity of his music is inspiring.

“Which aspects of songwriting do you find challenging and which aspects come more naturally?”
The whole thing comes naturally, it’s just trying to structure it into something easily digestible that’s difficult.

“Do you often pair music with visuals in your mind for a more cohesive feeling?”
Nope, the visuals always come after.

“When you create do you strive to stay original to yourself or do you enjoy pushing and evolving your sound every time?”
I don’t really strive to do anything, I just try to keep growing as an artist and making music I want to listen to.

“What attributes do you think help you become a better artist?”
Persistence.

“How do you motivate yourself to not limit your thoughts or ideas?”
I don’t motivate myself at all it’s why I’ve taken over a year to make like 6 songs.
​
“What’s one of your favorite records from your last project and can you speak on any new material coming in the future?”
One of my favs I’ve put out is U N ME and I’m keeping tight lipped about new music.
