When did you realise you wanted to be an artist?
At the age of 18.

Tell us who your biggest influences are...
Usher, Bruno mars, Miguel, Frank Ocean, Chris Brown, My Mum.

Just this year you released four singles – Issa Party, Overrated, Best Time Of Our Lives & the recent Make A Move... what else is in store on the music front? Is there a follow up album to your 2019 debut Double or Nothing on the way?

My single Guitara is out on January 13 2023. Plans to release an EP by end of year.

You’ve supported the likes of Dru Hill, Trey Songz, AJ Rafael, Jessica Mauboy and more... now you’re set to perform at Sydney’s NYE on the Park Festival – what do you love about performing and how do you prepare yourself before jumping on stage?

I love the energy exchange between audience and artist. If an artist can make the crowd move with a single command with something as simple as “put your hands in the air” or can I get a “hell yeah” and get an immediate response to me that is my fav part. When you can make the crowd feel a type of way and keep them entertained for 3 hours is gratifying.

How I prepare myself takes weeks in advance, if i’m doing a back to back 3 hour set, I minimise social activity and talking to rest my vocals. 2 hours before a set I do my vocal warm ups followed by a shot of tequila

What can we expect from your performance on New Years Eve... any special surprises?

I generally sing.. but for this one I’ll be supporting Fooligan Kevs RAPPING.... RAPPING?!?!?!
An R&B SINGER, RAPPING. Let that sink in
