3. How would you describe your music and sound?
My music feels like a dream—angelic, hypnotic, and deeply emotional. Soft, breathy vocals meet raw, heartfelt lyrics, creating a world where beauty and pain coexist. It’s intimate yet powerful, like a whispered secret that stays with you long after the song ends.
4. What was your process with crafting “Shoot U”?
Me, Rex, and KC Phillips got together in the studio, and KC started building this insane beat. As soon as I heard it, I started layering melodies over it. The essence of the song reminded me of Bang Bang—that powerful, almost cinematic energy—but I wanted to bring a softness to it too, something haunting yet beautiful. It was all about creating a contrast—the intensity of the message with a delicate, almost angelic delivery. That balance is what made Shoot U feel so unique.
5. What’s some of the messaging in the song?
“Shoot u” is about impact without the need for noise. It’s that unshakable feeling of justice and emotion intertwined—soft, yet piercing. The song carries a weight that creeps up on you, delicate but unrelenting. It’s less about what’s said and more about what’s felt, leaving a mark long after the music fades.
6. You have really strong imagery in the video for the song, how’d it all come together? What was some of the inspiration for the shoot?
The concept was mine—I wanted the visuals to be just as powerful as the song. The scenes reflect a woman reclaiming her power, literally shooting down her unfortunate past. She’s on a mission, and I didn’t want anything to distract from that story. That’s why you never see the man’s face—it’s not about him, it’s about her and the intensity of the act of revenge. There’s a lot of symbolism woven in—if you know, you know. But I also love leaving space for imagination, letting the viewer interpret it in their own way.
7. There’s a stark transition from black to color in the video that seems very intentional, was there some deeper meaning with that switch?
Yes, the switch was completely intentional. The black-and-white represents the past—cold, lifeless, and trapped in its own cycle. When the color comes in, it’s not just a visual shift, it’s a transformation. It marks the moment of power, of taking control, of stepping into something new. It’s that feeling of breaking free, but in a way that’s still haunting, still heavy. Every detail in the video has meaning.
8. Would you say visuals are just as important as the music it accompanies?
Absolutely. The visuals bring the music to life—they give it another dimension. A song can make you feel something, but the right visuals make you see it, live in it. For me, music and visuals go hand in hand. I don’t just want to create songs; I want to create worlds. Every detail matters, from the colors to the cinematography—it’s all part of the experience.
9. What do you want people to take from your music?
I want people to feel something—whatever that means for them. My music isn’t about telling you what to think, it’s about creating a world you can step into and make your own. Whether it’s power, heartbreak, revenge, or love, I want it to stay with you, to hit in a way that lingers. It’s all about emotion—raw, real, and unapologetic.
10. What can people expect from you in the future? Album? Tour?
Big things are coming. More music, more visuals, and a full experience. I’m building a world with every song, and it’s only getting bigger. An album? Definitely. A tour? That’s the goal. Everything I do is intentional, so when it happens, it’ll be unforgettable.
