Tell us about your career journey, from starting off in pageants to falling in love with music, how did these experiences shape who you are?
I have had quite the career journey from beauty pageants competing across the country at the young age of 11 months old and all the way to falling in love with music. By competing in Beauty pageants it gave me the confidence, charm, charisma and stage presence that are larger than life and memories the last lifetime where I can get up on any stage and all Eyez on me and capture the audiences attention.
They say good things come in little packages and seeing that I am very petite… I am like dynamite I am larger than life when I perform on stage! Boom Boom Baby!
You are originally from New York, how did you stumble on your love for southern music?
Growing up competing in beauty pageants all across the south grew my love for country music.

“GUM” is known as a bubbly track that is ready to kick off the baseball season, what inspired you to create this song? What’s your favorite baseball team?
What inspired me to do the song “GUM” is actually quite a funny story. When I was bartending right out of high school I had a girl walk up to me to order a drink and asked for juice and goose … I replied back “what type of juice would you like”…she said back to me “I want JUICY… orange juice” I laughed and then I filled her drink. That is how the song “GUM” was inspired along with always having such a petite frame and loving bubble gum being able to chew your gum with attitude. No matter what size or shape you are and to be proud of who you are and to promote body positivity!
My favorite baseball team is the New York Yankees.
What role do you play in the creative direction of your music videos? What was it like shooting the “GUM” music video?
The role I play in the creative direction of the music videos is by InVision what I want. I like to call myself a vision air. I also pick out the whole wardrobe for the music video. After I have the vision in my mind I write everything down then I tell the film crew and the director what I want and then they make it come to life.
It’s an amazing feeling seeing your vision come to life it’s a feeling like no other!
