What was the first band or artist you fell in love with?
It is hard to pick the first artist I fell in love with as a little kid. Growing up in the 2000s I remember watching all these amazing popstars on TV and on YouTube, I guess Rihanna was definitely one of the first, and also Shakira and Miley.
Did you ever form a band when you were younger and if so, what did they sound like?
No, unfortunately, I was never part of a band but as a kid, I was singing at the school choir and when I was a teenager I was studying in a musical theatre school with other students.
What has been your primary inspiration in writing music?
I feel that I’ve always known that I wanted to be an artist. I have always been creative and when I was a kid, I enjoyed writing poems as homework for school. I think the first time I wrote a song I was around 11 years old, and I still have a booklet with my first songs. What changed is that at first people made me believe that I couldn’t pursue music as a job, saying that I should pursue it as a hobby and find a real job but around 14 years old I was 100% sure that this is what I wanted to do. What is a song you wish you had written yourself?
There are so many songs I wish I had written myself but two songs could be Chan Chan by Buena Vista Social Club and My All by Mariah Carey.
If there was any moment in your career you could relive, what would it be?
I feel that that moment hasn’t arrived yet, but it will come soon.
Which artist would you most love to share a stage with?
There are so MANY artists I would love to share a stage with, at the moment I really would love to perform with Tyla, Rosalia, Karol G, and of course Beyonce.
And is there an artist you would love to collaborate with as well?
At the moment I would really love to collab with Emilia Mernes and Rosalia
Where do you see yourself in five years time?
In five years I see myself being a huge pop star and having a lot of different collaborations with all the artists I mentioned and even more, living the dream.
