Welcome to BuzzMusic, RYE 783. We deeply appreciate the relatable nature and easy-listening vibe of your recent single, "IDK." What moments inspired you to create this personal piece?
One, I appreciate yall for having me for real. But yeah, Life. Every day is another moment, and I tend to bring the best and worst ones into the studio w/ me. At the time, I was in a relationship w/, who I thought, was the one. Looking back, it was just a toxic and unhealthy situation like arguing and breaking shit kind of toxic. Leading up to the recording session, I was contemplating my next move, you know. I felt for her, but doubts are something I'd rather remove than manage.
Was it challenging to be so open when writing your vulnerable lyrics for "IDK"? What was that experience like?
I create with the intention of sharing new ideas. I wouldn't say it was challenging, but it definitely was an experience getting my ideas and making them tangible. It's probably how architects feel when they're standing in front of their finished product.
What was your favorite part about creating "IDK?” Were there any particular moments or experiences that you enjoyed most?
My favorite moments come from being in the studio, really creating the song. You know, it's one thing to have the lyrics down on the sheet. But I was locked in with my engineer, s/o Albi. I wanted to create an unforgettable ride and make sure that not only the lyrics hit and connect but the song delivers listeners with a direction. Evokes emotion, makes them Feel. motivates one to move.
What did you want your audience to experience when listening to "IDK?”
I want them to join me on this ride. Dance, Cry, FEEL. There are sounds and lyrics on this record that will be taken in any direction depending on the listener's reference point. I put myself in the realm where I write with passion and experience but also give you space and a vibe to eventually get to where the intended drop-off is.
What's next for you?
What's next is the takeover! Aha, im currently preparing the rollout for the featured EP(The Boy Who Lived) and dropping off visuals for the people. And, Im outside! If you ever find yourself in Ontario this year, I'll be doing shows and hosting events. I'm on the ground level with this. I want to directly connect with the people who are resonating with the music. I craft it for them in the end anyway, you know.
