Tell us about your current project and or single!
I co-wrote “See How We Run” with Brandon Paddock (who has worked with Grammy winners Pentatonix, Elle King, Christina Perri, Gavin DeGraw, Juan Gabriel, and Avril Lavigne. ). We were at the studio with my producers Klaypex and decided to create something fun, upbeat and of course love related lol
Do you feel your current project is the best introduction to you as an artist?
Yes, I grow as an artist and my music evolves as well. I love what I do, I am honest when I write and give my all when I record. I hope that whoever hears “See How We Run” will think about their partner in life. Current or future. Love is beautiful, it conquers all.
What is the music landscape in your neck of the woods?
I can’t live without music period. I love POP. Dance. Hip Hop. R&B. Soul. Country. I love it all depending on my mood or the atmosphere.
What’s on your horizon for 2017?
Lots of work, recording, filming. Living the dream.
The Hype Magazine wants to know: What’s been your CRAZIEST “Where they do that at?! Or “WTF?!” moment thus far in your career?
Honestly, I take every day one at a time and every day has their WTF moments. I think I was most excited when I heard the music video for “When the Lights Go Down” hit over 1.6 million views!
