Describe yourself in 3 words?
Fun, loyal, and passionate.
Who has made the biggest impact on your life so far, and why?
Justin Bieber. When he released his Purpose album, I was struggling with anxiety and his album made me realize my purpose; which is to bring my stories to life through my music, and to make other people feel they are not alone in their struggles the way he made me feel!
How did you get started in the business?
I started doing musical theatre at 6 years old. Then when I was 17 years old, I created a cover series for Instagram and it just grew from there.
Did you go to music school?
I went to a performing arts middle school.
Who influenced you and why did you choose to make music?
I have to go back to Justin Bieber again for this. I make music for myself and for my fans. My goal is to help other people feel okay being who they are, knowing that they are not alone in their struggles. The older I get, the more I understand how important it is to be myself!

I don’t have a tour set at the moment, but we are working to make that happen. I have been performing all over Los Angeles this year and looking to continue with that and expand this coming year.
Now tell us about your recent singles “Hold On” & “Ghost ?”
“Hold On” was my second single, I also released a remix version with the amazing producers, twoDB. This song was inspired by knowing when to hold on and when to let go.
• Hold On” is a true story, like all of my music. “Ghost” is my latest release. This song was inspired by being “ghosted” by a guy I was seeing. It was not an easy time for me, but writing about it really helped me cope with my feelings.
