In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My primary school friends were all dancers, so I started watching Step Up to learn how to dance but I ended up learning how to rap the songs instead. Eventually I started writing my own songs when I was 10. And lol, now I'm a professional dancer too.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Dominic Fike, What Could Possibly Go Wrong Frank Ocean, Blonde Kanye West, The Life of Pablo I learnt that song structure could be whatever I wanted it to be. Pitch and autotune can be used beautifully to execute emotional songs. Raw vocals also give a different feeling. I learnt that the production does not have to be by the book.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “It's Too Late.” I recorded this song on my Samsung when I was 17. My ex girlfriend and i broke up. I looked at my parents to try figure out how this love thing works. Seeing that my music was gaining popularity, I say "it's too late" for my exes to fix things.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I'm an actor/dancer. So I got to do multiple tours to Europe. Most recently Germany, with Constanza Macras Dorky Park - The Visitors, where I wrote 2 songs and perform (Mr. Bribes). Thousands in theatres and outdoors loved the song and The Academy.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes! I want to do stadium tours and act in Hollywood films, most especially Marvel films. I also want to continue creating theatre plays and do a Broadway show one day. Also The Grammys lol.
