Strong Connection When did you first get into music? I have been singing and writing all my life. I was in band and choir all through school and decided to seriously pursue music full time in 2012. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? I have always had the desire to pursue a music career but it was not a dream that was supported by my family. However, after the death of a close friend I realized that life was too short for me to spend my days doing anything but what I love to do. How has your music evolved since you first began creating music? My music has evolved into a true representation of who I am and is less about how others want me to sound. I’ve become more comfortable taking creative chances and trusting my vision when it comes to production and vocal arrangement. Tell us about your new single, “Strong Connection”? Strong Connection is the first single off my forthcoming concept EP entitled Connections. It is a story of an unbreakable bond of love that stands the test of time. I wanted to give listeners a more intimate side of myself. If you were forced to choose only one, which emotion, more than any other drives you to stay in this tough business? Is it joy, anger, desire, passion or pride and why? It’s Passion hands down. I’m passionate about everything I do. It is the driving force behind my desire, my joy, and sometimes my anger when it comes to this business. Passion keeps you pushing past the rejection and helps you stay focused on the vision. Which ingredient do you think makes you special and unique as a performing artist in an industry overflowing with new faces and ideas? I am deliberate in my message and my movements. My music is meant to heal the heart, the soul, and the mind.
