How would you describe your music?
My music is a blend of the old and the new post-modern nostalgia with a fresh point of view. Hints of the past, but I twist and reshape, Echoes of memories in a future escape.
Who are your musical inspirations?
My roots run deep, from my grandparents’ songs, Their tunes and traditions have kept me strong. Stevie Wonder’s soul opened my eyes, and Jordan Rakei brings the groove that flies. Prince showed me how to break all the rules, mixing funk, jazz, and pop as my musical tools.
