Excerpts from an interview:
1. When and where did you record your first song?
I recorded my very first songs in my bedroom studio at my parent’s house a very long time ago.
2. How has social media influenced the global music scene?
It has so much impact. Especially TikTok at the moment where a lot of songs are being picked up. Overall, social media is of course a big tool when it comes to reaching your audience and communicating with your fans.
3. Do you have a set pattern that you follow when releasing songs?
There is some sort of pattern of course when it comes to getting a song ready for release that we follow with the team.
4. What can we expect from you this year?
I’ve been working on a lot of new music for a very exciting project.
5. How do you deal with pressure?
By not trying to force anything or paying too much attention to charts, lists etc. I’m currently in a space where I’m not limiting myself to the studio and just creating whatever comes up. Luckily my team is also very supportive, they don’t push me into things that don’t feel right for me.
