From there, we collectively build the music and lyrics, drawing inspiration from our shared experiences and emotions. It’s a fun and organic process that allows us to explore different sounds and ideas together. Creating new songs is not just about the end result; it’s about the journey of discovery and creativity that we embark on as a team.

Q) Social media has played a key part in your career; why would you consider this to be an important way to connect with your fans?
A) In the past, fans didn’t have the same level of access to their favorite artists. However, with the rise of digital platforms, artists can now engage more directly with their audience. This direct connection allows artists to better understand their fans’ preferences, gather feedback and even involve them in the creative process. It’s a fantastic way to build a stronger sense of community and connection between artists and their supporters.
Q) If you were to choose three artists to share the stage with, who would those be and why?
