Can you tell us about your upbringing in Delaware and how it has shaped you as a person and an artist?

My upbringing in Delaware was pretty normal. However when I was younger I wasn’t really confident like that and dealt with mental health issues and I was in my head a lot or trying to be things I weren’t at times to fit in.

I feel like these personal struggles I went through definitely shaped me as the artist I am today because nowadays i’m really living the life I always wanted and feel more than confident in myself. In my music I have those real vibes to where even if it sounds like fun type of music, I got at least some message within all of that to help out whoever is listening and feels the same way I used to feel.
