What was the first band or artist you fell in love with?
As a kid I would listen to a bunch of music from hip-hop to pop and even some rock. When I was 8 I would listen to artists like Lil Wayne, James Blunt and even some AC/DC. I started to learn how to play the guitar because of AC/DC. Then growing up as a teenager the SoundCloud era like Xxxtentaction, Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty and so on. I think this big mix of music genres I was listening to crafted my sound today.
Did you ever form a band when you were younger and if so, what did they sound like?
No, I was always just making music on my own. I never had any interest in joining a band because I wanted to have full control of my art.
What has been your primary inspiration in writing music?
Life experiences & relationships

Which artist would you most love to share a stage with?
If he was still with us it would have been a dream for a 15 year old me to be on stage with xxxtentaction he had a different level of energy.
And is there an artist you would love to collaborate with as well?
Don Toliver and I would go crazy on a song together.
Where do you see yourself in five years time?
Still doing what I love by making music everyday regardless of my circumstances. Definitely going to be touring a lot cause that’s a big reason why I like making music is then to be able to perform it and connect with my fans.
