3 words to describe you:
3 words to describe your music:
Honest, hopeful, vulnerable
If it does, how does your heritage impact your art?
On many levels for sure but I guess mostly for the usage of language and the story to tell. Speaking more languages shapes the way I think and the way I write so with it also how I create my music and how I choose words :) then as I write about very personal stuff, having life experiences influenced by more cultures has an impact on the stories I tell in my music and what I actually communicate in my songs as well.
If you could collaborate with anyone, who and why?
Right now I’d say Ed Sheehan cause I love his songwriting style and his music touches me a lot
Your next career/music goal:
Hopefully expand my music to a larger international public, little by little :)
