Can you tell us about your journey as an indie musician? What inspired you to pursue a career in music?
I have always had a love for music ever since I was little, I would always sing and dance around the house. I was a dancer for 10 years as well as singing, and I soon realized I wanted singing more so I left and just focused on singing. My journey has definitely been all over, but I believe that’s what makes me, me. All the things that I have gone through have helped me grow and get to where I am now. I will always say the journey is the best part.
How would you describe your unique style and sound as an artist? What sets you apart from other musicians?
I would say my unique twang can set me apart a bit. I don’t know what it is, but I have had many people tell how much they love that part of my voice. I love that part to and have learned to embrace it as much as I can.
Could you share some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced as an indie musician and how you overcame them?
I find that there can be a lot of writing blocks as an indie artist, because after all you are in charge of yourself, but having my family and friends with me always helped me get through hard times.
What is your creative process like? How do you approach songwriting and composing music?
My way of writing is definitely all over. I may come up with an idea in the day, and jot it down. Other times I will be playing around with my guitar and start writing something. If I ever get stuck then I step away from it, because I can’t focus myself to write when I’m stuck.
Are there any particular themes or messages that you aim to convey through your music? What inspires your lyrics?
Like to sing and write about things that I know I can relate to as well as everyone else. Some of the things I tend to write about are love songs, and even sad songs. Themes that I know I could take experience from my life. If I can relate to the song in some way then there is more passion when I sing it.
What are your long-term goals as an indie musician? Where do you see yourself and your music in the next few years?
I am hoping as the years go on I get more and more people listening to my music, and my stories. I wanna be able to play more shows around the world, and maybe even one day a tour.
