How did you first get into music?
My mom signed me up for piano lessons when I was seven, and around the same time, I started playing the flute in my school band. That was my first real introduction to music, and from there, it just became a huge part of my life.
Who were your biggest musical influences growing up?
I grew up listening to a lot of music from the ’70s and ’80s, but as I got older, I started connecting more with modern artists like Adele, Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo. Adele was the first artist I idolized—her voice, her songwriting, and everything about her music just resonated with me.
Was there a particular moment in your life that inspired you to pursue a music career?
The biggest moment was when I was about ten. I figured out how to play Someone Like You by Adele just by listening to the music video. That was when I realized I had a natural ear for music, and more importantly, that I actually loved it. It was one of those moments where everything just clicked, and I knew this was what I wanted to do.
What are three things anyone starting in the music industry needs to know?
Connections are everything. Someone always knows someone. Some of the best opportunities come from unexpected connections—like my producer, who happens to be an old friend’s friend’s dad.
Stay authentic. Trends come and go, but the artists who really make an impact are the ones who stay true to their sound. Don’t chase what’s popular—create something real.
Be patient. Nothing happens overnight. It’s easy to get discouraged, but success in music is a long game. Keep creating, keep growing, and stay consistent.
How has living in New York and Italy influenced your music and songwriting?
Growing up in New York exposed me to so many different cultures, sounds, and instruments. The energy there is intense—everything moves fast, and you’re constantly surrounded by creative people who push you to be better. Italy, on the other hand, has this poetic, romantic quality that really shaped my storytelling. I think my music reflects both of those worlds—raw and urgent, but also introspective and emotional.
If you had to pick one genre of music to listen to for the rest of your life, what would you choose? And why?
I’d probably choose alternative rock. It’s such a versatile genre that allows for a lot of experimentation, and some of my favorite artists fall into that category. It has the perfect balance of emotion, depth, and sonic variety to keep things interesting forever.
How would you describe your musical style, and how has it evolved?
I’d say my music started as pop with indie influences, especially in my earlier songs. But as I kept writing and experimenting, I started incorporating more rock elements—electric guitar and bass have become a huge part of my sound. So now, it’s this blend of pop, indie, and rock, with a focus on strong emotions and storytelling.
What message do you hope listeners take away from “Lovebomb”?
I want listeners to feel understood—whether they’ve experienced that kind of relationship or they’re still processing the aftermath. It’s about recognizing both the beauty and the chaos of it all and hopefully finding some closure in the process. It’s my way of telling people they’re not alone in feeling confused by it.
How do you describe the emotional journey portrayed in “Lovebomb”?
It’s about being on the brink of love, feeling like you’re finally figuring things out—only to have it all ripped away. The other person builds you up, makes you feel safe, and then suddenly disappears, leaving you in this whirlwind of emotions. It’s a roller coaster—you’re forced to react, but you don’t even know how because everything changes so fast. The song captures that push and pull, the confusion, and the heartbreak of it all.
