What do you love about music and performing?
I love that you can have nothing in common with someone, but if you like the same music you are instantly besties! It is cheesy, but music really is the universal language. I adore how it connects people! Going to concerts and feeling totally accepted by the people around me as we all scream the same lyrics and are filled with the same emotions is truly like nothing else. When it comes to my own music, I use it like therapy. I hope to be a voice for people. If someone can’t put a finger on an emotion I hope to be there to talk (sing) about it and hopefully get them through the highs and lows. I’ve always been able to find comfort, joy, understanding, love, and so much more in music, and I strive to be there for others in that way. If my performance helps you as it helps me, then my goal is being reached. I love talking to people after shows and hearing their stories of what my songs mean to them, and how it reminded them of their own life. That connection is super important to me.
Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators?
My music is very original and it is hard to describe, but the closest comparison is to say it is like if Evanescence met Rufus Wainwright. I grew up in New Orleans, where you can’t pass a street corner without hearing every sort of music! My first favorite band was The Zombies, and I actually didn’t listen to modern pop music until I was ten! So I listened (and currently listen) to a lot of older music that shaped me as an artist, like The Kinks and Lesley Gore. My current favorite band is BTS, they inspire me as a person more than a traceable music influence. Other more modern artists include; Conan Gray, Laufey, and Rebecca Sugar. When it comes to career path and artist identity, I am inspired by the people who stayed true to themselves and have a strong sense of self, like David Bowie or Lana Del Rey. Some of my dream collabs: Donovan Cavetown LEJ Beck Julie Andrews Playing a live show with The Blasting Company Having a song produced by Suga of BTS
What would you do with the $10,000 Grand Prize?
Being an independent artist is actually quite expensive! I am very close to releasing my album Nonexistent Nostalgia. Album costs that were payed for out of pocket could be reimbursed, and some money could be put away for the next recording project. Then with most of it, I would stage a mini US tour!!
