Your music often evokes powerful emotions in listeners. Can you share a moment or experience from your life that had a significant impact on your songwriting and the emotions conveyed in your songs?

I think in general just relationships with partners, friends, and family and just all-around relationships and how they went/are going is one of the biggest contributors to the type of stuff I tend to talk about in my music, just how I’m feeling about a certain person or situation at that moment and it’s constantly changing and music’s just an outlet for how I feel about those things

Your songs take audiences on a captivating journey. What inspired you to infuse storytelling into your music, and how do you approach crafting narratives within your songs?

I feel like ever since I started making music it was always sort of storytelling and venting about something I was dealing with and that’s just what would naturally come to me when I went to record.

There are even times when I don’t really have anything to pull from in a moment so, I just won’t make anything for a bit until I experience something that naturally gets pulled from when I’m recording again.

Your sound is quite unique. Are there unconventional instruments or sounds you enjoy incorporating into your music to create those distinct emotional textures?

I think with my older stuff and it being the genre that it was.

But also being so sped up and pitched up created a really high energy and consistent sound a lot of people sat with and recently I’ve shifted from adding those more unnatural aspects but still keeping my lyrics and execution really similar just with a different sound.

I think it conveys my words and what I put into them a lot better than before and I’m excited to show that more.

As an artist, you've left a profound mark on your audience. Can you recall a particular fan encounter or story that struck a chord with you, emphasizing the depth of your connection with your listeners?

Anytime I’ve gotten a message from someone telling me my music means a lot to them or has gotten them through a certain time, or anything like that, really makes me/has made me happy, and has kept me going.

Because that’s all I care about, just to do for people what music has done for me.

Music is a dynamic and ever-evolving realm. How do you anticipate your sound and style changing as you progress in your artistic journey, and what challenges do you foresee in that evolution?

I think after going through a lot of experimenting and style changes I’ve found a pocket I really like sonically for my music, that allows me to say what I need to, and express the emotions I’d like in a way that is raw.

I think I’m gonna stick with that and possibly experiment more with my production and engineering in the future.

Collaborations can be transformative. Are there artists or musicians outside of your genre you'd be excited to collaborate with, and what new dimensions do you think they might bring to your music?

I’ve held off on doing stuff with features kind of for a while until I felt I landed in the pocket I wanted to with how I saw my catalog going and I think I’m definitely in a place where I’m super open to trying to collaborate with some people.

I think aftrr and rans0m would be great to get together and I definitely wanna make stuff with them again soon as well as some other people.

Your lyrics often feature intricate metaphors and visuals. Could you shed light on your creative process when crafting these lyrics and how you aim to convey deep emotions through your words?

I really don’t put a lot of thought into most of what I’m going to say or talk about, I feel like I just find a beat that sits well with me and I punch in over it and whatever comes out comes out.

It usually tends to be a good representation of what I’m feeling in the moment.

The music industry continually adapts to new trends. How do you view the current state of music distribution, and has this influenced how you release and promote your work?

I think music is in a cool place now where anyone who has a passion or itch for it can really get into it and do what they want with it which is really cool.

I really just want to make sure to focus on what I’m making and express myself to the best of my abilities and not have anything affect that when it comes to what other people are doing.

Your music has a profound impact on listeners. For aspiring musicians, what strategies would you recommend for creating emotionally resonant music that connects with a wide audience?

Definitely not trying to be someone you’re not in your lyrics.

Don’t feel like you need to talk about things you don’t actually go through or anything like that just because other people do.

Just express yourself and how things make you feel and play off of that and don’t try too hard, it should be like venting to someone almost.

Looking forward in your artistic journey, are there any projects, artistic aspirations, or new directions you'd like to share with your fans and supporters?

I am really excited for these next songs I’m putting out. I feel like they’re really going to help establish the sound I’ve been working on for myself.

While I’ve been gone for a bit and I am just going to keep consistently getting everything I can out there and do everything I can this coming year, and having something out about every 2 weeks for as long as I can.
