2. What is your creative process? How do you start creating a beat? / How do you start writing lyrics to a beat? – it depends on where I am, how I feel, or what so happening around me. Sometimes I simply get the melody and I connect words letter depending on how the melody is. Sometimes I get a full song from nothing and start singing together with melody, and those become very big songs for me.
3. What made you chose a career in this field? – I don’t think I chose it, I believe it’s a gift. I am a singer and this was probably part of my journey and plan. I started out as a singer first and started writing my own songs that define my own sound.
