Who or what ignited your passion for music and drove you to pursue it as a career?
I’ve been singing my whole life, but it wasn’t until 2020 that I decided to actually start making music and writing. I always thought it wasn’t for me: I had this whole pessimistic mindset, thinking my voice wasn’t “special” enough and that writing songs was just something I couldn’t do. My first real push to start writing came from the simple goal of having just one song of my own to play for my future kids… And, well, that dream quickly snowballed into something much bigger [laughs]. It wasn’t until two years ago that I took the leap and left my full-time job to fully dive into my music career, and honestly, that was the
best decision I’ve ever made for myself.
How would you describe your sound in a way that sets you apart from the crowd, and why do you think it resonates with listeners?
What sets me apart is the raw honesty in my music: it’s not just about catchy beats and poppy hooks (though those are definitely there), but more about opening up and inviting you into my world. I blend (Dark) Pop, R&B, and Afropop in a way that feels personal and unfiltered. It’s all about creating a space where we can vibe, let go, and process our emotions together, free from judgment. I’m not afraid to get real about the highs, the lows, and everything in between, and I want my listeners to feel like they’re not navigating it alone. My music should be more than just something you listen to; it should feel like a conversation you’re having with a friend who truly understands.
Your latest release, ‘Libralicious’ is making waves on all major platforms! Can you take us behind the scenes of its creation and share the story or feelings that inspired it?
I’ve seen so many TikToks about never going back to an ex, but let’s be real: we’ve all thought about it, right? Sure, people will call you a fool, but honestly, even if it doesn’t work out, it’s part of your journey. All experiences shape where you’re meant to be, and that’s what I believe in. As I said, I’m not playing when I say “creating a space free from judgment.” So, when I got into the studio with my producer, Zender, we started cooking up ideas, and I knew I wanted to write about romanticizing the idea of going back to an ex.
My ex is a Libra, and with the whole balance thing, I started thinking about mixing the good and the bad like some crazy potion that would ride us off into the sunset. That’s how “Libralicious” came to life: Libra + delicious. I made that one up. Catchy, right?
Out of all the songs you’ve written, which one holds the deepest meaning for you, and what’s the story behind its emotional connection?
There’s a song on my upcoming EP that holds the deepest meaning for me, but I can’t share the title just yet. It’s about putting the pessimistic child in me to rest and letting the version of myself that actually believes in my dreams take over. Growing up in a practical environment, a career in music felt impossible, and even now, I catch myself battling that mindset. I had to rewire my brain to see this as something real, something I deserve. Writing this song was a big part of that process: letting go of the doubt and stepping into the version of me that I can be proud of.
Striking a chord with your audience while staying true to your artistry can be tricky—how do you navigate that balance?
I feel like my melodies, ideas, and creative choices I come up with naturally have the potential to reach a wider audience. Whether it’s the style of my music or the themes I write about, I tend to gravitate toward topics that are relatable. My personal experiences aren’t just mine; they’re things a lot of people go through. My melodies lean poppy, but I love pushing boundaries by incorporating unconventional sounds, whether it’s something I record myself or unique elements woven into the production.
My upcoming EP is definitely a mix of staying true to my sound while creating tracks that can strike a chord. I love playing with that balance. At the end of the day, I make music because I’m passionate about it, but I also want it to reach people. I don’t see balancing the two out as something tricky; I see it as a process I genuinely love getting lost in.
What has been the most unforgettable or career-defining moment for you so far, and how did it shape you as an artist?
I’d say getting on stage and performing my music. I’ve dealt with stage fright my entire life. When I first started making music, I couldn’t even sing in front of my producer, let alone an audience. My first gig was two years ago, and I was so anxious I got sick two weeks before. I even lost my voice on the day itself, but I pushed through because I knew I wanted to connect with people, and performing was the best way to do it. Four months later, I was flown out to Copenhagen Fashion Week to perform at an event for this brand called Samsøe Samsøe. I was suddenly performing at events I never thought I’d reach so early on. That experience made me trust my voice in a way I never had before. It gave me so much confidence that now, performing is all I want to do. And when I say I dream of touring the world, I mean really dream about it; not just because it’s what artists are “supposed” to want. I’m over giving my teddy bear private concerts in my bedroom now 🙂
If you could pass on a single piece of wisdom to aspiring singer-songwriters, what would it be, and why is it so important?
Trust the process, but don’t be afraid to embrace its unpredictability. Your creativity will take you places you didn’t expect, and that’s honestly a great thing! As a singer-songwriter, things rarely go according to plan, and that’s when the magic really happens. You might have a clear vision, but some of the best moments come when you let go of control and let things unfold naturally. And even though I’m one of the “I give great advice, but rarely take it myself” girlies, and trust me, this one’s a tough one for me as well, I’m still saying this with chest: it’s how you stay motivated to push through an industry that doesn’t always give you the recognition you deserve; especially as an up-and-coming artist.
What exciting projects or goals do you have on the horizon, and how are you preparing to level up your artistry?
I can’t spill all the details just yet, but what I can say is that there’s a lot of new music coming your way this year, and you’ll definitely be seeing me perform live again soon. Everything we’re working on this year is building an amazing foundation for what’s to come, and I’m really excited to watch it all unfold.
Lastly, is there anything you’d love to share with your supporters or something on your heart that we haven’t touched on?
Hm… I don’t know. What’s an interesting way to get everyone reading this to go check out my music? I’m still working on my elevator pitch. But if you read it to this point: if my promises mean anything to you, I promise you it will be worth your time <3
