Q & A

​

Where are you from and where do you live now?

            Born in Long Island, lived in Queens, and living in Kosovo now

​

Who is the first artist/band you remember listening to?

Queen, my dad listened to it a lot. My dad is a producer, he listened to music all the time when I was growing up and still does.

​

Who produced Gemstone?

My dad and I mixed and mastered the song; my dad produces music too.

​

What juice would you be?

            Peach Snapple

​

What was your process in creating Blue? I noticed it was quite different from Gemstone

Each song I create is different. I can’t rely on one song. I decided I wanted to try a different genre and went for it in my own style.

​

Why did you start officially releasing music?

I thought “why not?” Why should I not put what I have created out there? If something comes of it so be it.

​

Favorite David Bowie outfit

I love most of Bowie’s outfits for his Ziggy Stardust persona. I really love the look where he has a moon painted on his forehead.

​

What was your first live performance like?

School graduation. I remember standing there gripping the microphone feeling a little nervous but as soon as I stepped on the stage, I was fearless. I am never scared or nervous when I am stage, I love the spotlight.

​

What inspires your clothing choices?

Currently my biggest fashion influences are David Bowie, Dennis Rodman, and Rina Sawayama.

​

What are you working on next?

I am currently working with Dreamhouse Studios in Kosovo on my first EP. The EP is inspired by the underground culture of New York in the 80’s. I’m looking to release this in September.
