Hi. What's up? How are you? How are you?

Oh, you're so pretty. Oh my god, thank you. So are you.

I was so excited because I've watched like a bunch of like interviews you've done and IG lives and stuff and I was like, she's so nice. Oh, thank you. Well, I get to talk to her. Awesome. And in the interviews that I was watching, uh, we heard that you your favorite thing to do is shop, right?

Yes. Wow, did I yeah, I guess I probably have talked about that at some point, yeah. Like obsessed.

How many how much online shopping do you think you've done in the past few months?

Oh my gosh, it's a problem. I tried to reel it back in like at the beginning of quarantine. It was like I had an Amazon package coming a day or like you know some sort of clothing order. And then I realized it was getting like too much because there would be a package, you know arriving on my doorstep every day, so I tried to reel it back in a bit. But yeah, it's like what else do you do? Right? It's like the memes though that it's like me like reporting to the mailbox for another package I've ordered. Yeah, totally.

What would you say is your favorite thing? Do you like clothes, makeup, what do you like to buy? Or everything.

Probably, I mean, clothes. Yeah, I would say clothes is like my weakness. Um also like I I hoard books like I love books even if I haven't read them I just like love having them. Yeah. Um but yeah, I'm I'm a pretty avid reader, so books are another thing and then yeah. Yeah, I guess clothes is the biggest thing.

How many books have would you say you've read?

Um, oh my gosh, I don't know because I feel like I've I go through phases where I'm like reading a lot and then I don't read at all. It'll like a year or so will pass and I'll be like, wow, I should pick up a book again and like actually use my brain. Yeah, definitely. I don't know. I guess not, I guess not that many but I've I if I love a book, I will read it multiple times, so.

What was the title of your favorite book?

I think, well, it's I loved when I was growing up The Giver was one of my favorite books. Like I read that I've read that countless times. Um, and then I think as a teen, The Kite Runner really was like one of my favorites. Um, and then I just I'm obsessed with this book called A Little Life by um, Hanya Yanagihara and it's really, really sad. So I would like I take caution if you're going to read it because it's like you're going to put yourself through some some serious emotions. Yeah. Um but it's it's beautifully written and it's like I think just yeah, it's one of my favorites for sure.

Would you say that like reading the books inspire some of your music?

I would say that like poetry more so I'm I'm also a fan of poetry, um, and I write a lot of it as well. So I'm hoping that eventually I can turn some of my poems into songs. I know that some artists do that and um, thankfully I'm working with a team right now that I feel like we'll we'll be very collaborative and and awesome. Yeah.

And you released your single Even the Stars, which is so good by the way.

Thank you. Thank you.

You posted on Instagram that you're giving away one lucky FaceTime. Yes. Has that happened yet or is it it hasn't?

I haven't FaceTimed her yet but we have uh chosen a winner and she seems so sweet. I'm so excited. It's like it's nice to I feel like it'll be nice to just actually connect with someone face to face and say thank you and you know.

And what would you say some of the messages that you have got like after people have heard the song, like the YouTube comments are amazing. Yeah, I know. Like people are saying like Even the Stars need like the dark to shine. Like that's what a lot of the comments were. Like what inspired that line or what would you say that you relate to when it comes to that line in the song?

Um, I would say I I guess that the song just really sort of fits in with my my view on life. I guess I do feel like you have to have dark times for the light to really count. Um, and yeah, any any sort of personal struggles that I've had, um, whether it be career-related or relationship-related or, you know, uh mental health like I always that's always something that I keep in mind is like it's it's it's you have to have peaks and valleys. Definitely. So yeah, I guess I guess I relate to it in that sense.

How many times would you say you've played the song since it's come out like around your house?

Well, you know, I I haven't really played it that much just because I I first of all when we shot the music video, of course I heard it like a thousand times. So there's that but also, I don't know sometimes I'm like I don't like listening to your own stuff or like watching your own stuff is so strange. Um, but you know, I have a very supportive family who have been playing it all the time. I'll hear it whether I like it or not, you know. Um, so yeah, yeah, I've I've definitely heard it a lot.

And did you celebrate when it dropped like when it came out or did you just like kind of just like go to sleep? Like how was it when you it came out?

I I definitely celebrated, you know, like I had a lot of amazing messages um from friends and and family and stuff congratulating me, so that felt really special. Um, then I actually I got home from being out when it was uh released and my parents had like they had a cake that said Even the Stars and they had like a bunch of gold balloons all in my room. So that was like a nice little celebration for sure. Yeah.

And what would you say is your one of your favorite lines from the song?

Um, the tide is coming in, I guess I'll find out now if I can swim. kind of feels like it fits in with that um that idea of persevering and keep on going type thing.

Should we expect any music from you in the future too? Are you planning? Are you writing? Are you

Yes, I I mean the goal is definitely to put out more music. I I'm working with Roc Nation and um, yeah, I mean it's it's a little tricky because of the pandemic, of course, like everything is just kind of came to a screeching halt. But I'm hoping that we can put something out there soon and I've actually been taking some time during this abundance of free time to work on some of my own stuff and yeah, hopefully just be able to put some more stuff out there because it's it's really exciting and I'm so happy that I have like a fanbase that wants more.
