No.1 How would you describe this week in a sentence?
Whoa, that's gonna be a crazy sentence. This week… such highs and lows. I witnessed my best friend's birthday and being with him at his show that he put together during my last night in New York before I moved to LA. A lot of feelings, a lot of bittersweet moments, a lot of reminiscing and joy at the same time. I'm excited.
It feels like a chapter has closed and yet a new one began. So I'm really grateful for the moments I had in New York and I'm really excited for all the new memories that I'll be creating in LA.
It's a very cool week to ask you that question
Yeah (laughs)
No.2 An artwork that inspired you this week. It can be anything, music, movies, whatever.
Click by Adam Sandler (laughs). Do you know that movie? [I] literally just watched it last night with my roommates. I think it inspired me because of the theme of this week. I really want to make sure that every moment, every decision I make prioritizes the people in my life, my music career; approaching life with intention and and making sure that I hold on to every moment that comes. So that's like Click by Adam Sandler. Everybody should watch it.
Thank you! I'll add it to my watch list.
No.3 You've already mentioned some, but - A memorable moment from this week.
I think it was the moment when I was sitting on the rooftop with my best friend Gonz [Inigo Gonzalez] and my new friend Yana and we were just looking at the sky at like 3 a.m. and I was just like, wow. Life, life could be bad. Life could be really bad but if you look at it in a way, maybe you can enjoy the good moments while they last.
I think it was that rooftop moment when I realized that I really am surrounded by amazing people and I just have so much love for them and I can't wait to see where these relationships go.
Thank you so much, that's beautiful.
So the next one is a two-part question. Feel free to answer either or both.
No.4 A motto you swear by and or any advice you received and would like to share?
I feel like I… what did I hear recently? I think the universe brings out so many synchronicities and signs and things that you could tap into. And sometimes it passes you and sometimes it doesn't, but when you do realize it, and it's right in front of you, you should grab it and see where it takes you. Because these past few months I've been living in that sort of mindset, and it's only brought me so many great people, so many great opportunities. And just trusting the process, even when you don't know it, how things will go, just trusting it and letting go at the same time and believing that everything will be okay.
No.5 And then the last question, what would you like to share about any upcoming projects?
My collaborator and co-producer / mixing and mastering engineer Gonz, he does it all, we are both doing an album project called Club Metal Princess. And if you don't know from the title, it will be a new movement, a new genre, it's called Club Metal.
And well, with my stuff, I think it's really cool that we're meshing styles. I tend to lean very pop and he tends to lean very metal and rock and seven string-esque of sorts, so I'm excited to see how these songs come out and see how people react to it. It will probably come out at the end of this year or early next year but it'll definitely come out and I really hope that you guys enjoy it as much as we did making it.
I can't wait to hear that! It sounds amazing live!
Aww thank you!
