Your debut single features a blend of folk, pop, and indie elements. What inspired you to merge these genres for your first track?

Well, those 3 genres are my favorite genres, so I decided to add a little bit of each to my song.

How did you approach the songwriting process for your debut single? Can you describe any specific techniques or routines you used?

There really wasn’t any approach to the song writing process. It was kind of in the moment and those lyrics came from the heart and how I felt.

Your Spotify bio describes you as “just a kid who loves music.” How did this love for music start, and how has it shaped your journey so far?

Ever since I was a kid, I admired music so much. I admired all types of music. Just being a little kid hearing songs from the radio and just vibing and singing along really inspired me to do the same and be the one making songs for people to connect with.

Can you share any personal experiences or stories that influenced the lyrics of your debut song?

There was a girl in my high school that I truly liked. In the song I described how I truly felt about her and how I’m always thinking about her, but there’s always that one question where you wonder if they’re thinking about you too. That’s the true meaning of “Are you.”

What challenges did you face during the production of your first track, and how did you overcome them?

The mixing of the vocals and the mastering. I’m still new to all of this but I tried my best to make it work.

How did you decide on the final sound and arrangement of your song?

I wanted the song to sound very calm soothing and heart felt.

Were there any particular influences or references that guided your choices?

I would say yes but there are too many to list.

I hope they can somewhat connect to this song

Can you describe the process behind creating the artwork or visuals that accompany your debut release?

The cover photo was honestly just me in music class. I wanted to take a photo of my holding a guitar cause I thought it looked cool. It wasn’t originally supposed to be the cover art, but I couldn’t use the original one so I bailed out on that one.

How has releasing your first single on Spotify impacted your perspective on the music industry?

I would say that the music industry is sometimes not giving people a chance. There’s a lot of talented artists out there who are putting in the effort, yet they get no recognition. But I would also say that the music industry is a hard place to succeed in considering so many artists are so talented.

Just feeling the instrumental and being able to actually feel the song.
