A: What got me into music was i just wanted something else as a carrer path, Ive been really into music since a young age and have always been self conscious of putting myself out there, so my cousin asked me to do music with him and it kinda evolved from there.
Q: Tell us about your new music (Song/EP/Mixtape/Album)? And what’s the story behind it?

The story behind it is pretty much I used to be in a really dark place throughout my life and it just represents how i felt and how I still feel till this day.

The reason behind that is because I have really bad social anxiety and so its helping me break out of it by being in front of people on a stage.
Q: How do you balance your music with other obligations?

A: My next project to come out is called “Psychward Vol.2” with my cousin “Lakke”.
