How would you introduce yourself to someone who is not familiar with you?
I would say that I’m an artist that likes music to express vulnerability. There’s an intimacy and closeness to the people listening. I like to envision my music as a little bubble you have in your life to flee, for example, from busy city noises.
What has inspired you to make that kind of music?
I was always surrounded by music. My dad is a musician and bass player, my mother sings, my brother is a singer and my sister used to sing, too. My parents actually met in a band, and we listened to music—especially Black music—a lot. Whether it was American or Caribbean Black music. That’s my background. I listened to a lot of different things when I grew up, like rock or electronic music.
So I would say I struggled at first to find my sound, and there’s no obvious intention behind it. It’s me experiencing music in the way I want to do it. I just tried, and this is what came up. Tomorrow, it can be totally different because my music comes from a real authentic place. It will always depend on my mood and what I’m listening to now.
