Q) Talk about the story behind your new song “Heart(Break).”

 

A) It means taking a heart(break) not a heartbreak that hurts more like a break for your heart to rejuvenate.

 

Q) What do you think it is about the song that fans connect to?

 

A) I honestly think they like it because of the rawness, but idk if it’s just that. That’s a question for the fans.

 

Q) What is your song writing process? Do you need music before you can create lyrics?

A) I say something here and there, but my boi squrl be whipping it.

A) It’s the new age and social media can make or break you, so why not let it make you?
