You recently released a single titled Breathe. What can you tell us about the track?

Well, Breathe is a double entendre, that discusses issues like new-found sexuality and mental health. Throughout the song, I talk about unleashing this ‘beast’ within me and letting go — which could represent an anxiety attack that is about to happen or the process of letting myself become/show my true self.

How has the reception to Breathe been so far, and where can the song be purchased?

I’ve heard a lot of good things from people who listened to Breathe! Some people say it’s one of their favourites at the moment. You could stream Breathe through Spotify and Apple Music.

You’ve also just released another track titled Filthy. What can you tell us about that song?

So Filthy is a pop banger that really shows off my fun and messy side. It’s like if Britney Spears’ Blackout had a baby with Christina Aguliera’s Dirrty! And I really really like the way it turned out. You can also stream it through Spotify and Apple Music.

Do you plan to release any more singles in the near future?

Yes, I have a lot more tricks up my sleeve!

Are there any plans to release an album or EP?

Absolutely! An album is definitely in the cards….

Your music has a dark pop sound. What/who influences you most as an artist? What have you been listening to recently?

My main inspiration definitely has to be Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and Madonna. But lately, I’ve been listening to Charli XCX, Tove Lo, Tinashe and Lana Del Rey.

Do you have anything else exciting coming up this year?

I do! But I won’t reveal it just yet!

Am I right in thinking you’re based in New York? How is the local music scene faring at the moment?

Yes, I am based in New York! It’s such an inspiring environment to be in and there is a flourishing amount of talent in the area. And I try to support them as much as I can!!

Do you have any tour dates lined up for the UK?

Not right now, but hopefully very soon! I love the UK and I definitely want to go there!

Any last words for the fans?

I just want them to know that I love you so much and I thank you for supporting me!
