Hey, super nice to have the chance to chat with you.<\/strong> Can you tell us about your early career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, thanks so much for having me! I\u2019ve been making music since I was a kid and have been writing songs throughout my teens, finding my own sound and style as an artist. Throughout the pandemic I\u2019ve been making the jump to making music full time and have been writing more than ever (I think a lot of artists turned to their craft when the pandemic hit). Earlier this year I finally released my debut single and recorded more songs. I\u2019m really proud of the sound and writing on these records so I hope people feel the same way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where did you get the idea for the music industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always loved music my whole life but the thing that influenced me in a big way were all those Disney Channel shows and movies back in the day like Hannah Montana, Camp Rock etc. (I\u2019m aware that this is kind of a weird answer but that\u2019s what it was). I was already playing guitar and singing at that point but those shows really helped push that dream of making music for a living. I remember my best friend and I pretending we were on the Disney Channel and giving concerts in my parents living room when we were 11. I think a lot of kids did that. I just never grew out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you start when producing songs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always start with asking myself what kind of feeling I want to create for the song. For example, do I want something dreamy, emotional, fun? Then I produce a rough demo (usually with a piano\/guitar and maybe a few other instruments) to create that feeling for the song. I then sent that demo to my co-producer and explain the vision I have and we work on finishing it together. It\u2019s a lot of emailing back and forth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your latest song is ’80s Rom-Com’. Can you tell us more about the making of it and if there were any unusual things happening during the process?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got the idea for the song when I was re-watching\u00a0Pretty In Pink<\/em>! That movie is so iconic, from the actors, the fashion, the music to the impact it had on pop culture. The beginning of the chorus \u201cIf this was an 80s Rom-Com, I\u2019d be Molly Ringwald\u201d just came to me and about 10 minutes later I had the hook \u201cBut in an 80s Rom-Com\u2026You wouldn\u2019t play the lead\u201d. Once I had that the rest of the song kind of came together pretty organically. The decade is in the title of the song so I knew the production should be reminiscent of the 80s with synths and electric guitars. I made a demo and sent it to my co-producer in Nashville, Lukas Scott Klingensmith, and we finished it together. I don\u2019t live in Nashville so we produced that song without even being in the same space which was probably the most unusual thing in the creation process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
