How did you link up with the likes of Post Malone and Pusha-T? I loved the order he kept, how professionally run the tour was, and there were moments where there was a lot going on, but everything was just run so smoothly, and everybody was really happy and kind to each other. Did you learn anything while doing those shows with him? Obviously you’ve opened up for Justin Bieber. You’ve worked with some pretty amazing people. We’re just going to put out singles until 2019, but before next summer, maybe a larger project. I have so much music though, like three albums worth. I have singles coming out, I’m just doing singles right now. Will “Cold Outside” be part of a larger project? It was definitely a journey to pick myself up again, and do it. Yeah absolutely, and I haven’t in the past.
That’s great, a lot of artists don’t have that freedom. So, it feels so good to be able to execute what I have in my head, what is completely truthful and create this world that isn’t a mold, that’s just me. I honestly don’t feel good in my soul, I don’t enjoy my life if i’m not doing what my intuition is telling me to do…if i’m not doing what feels right. How important is it to you to be able to take the reins on your career? The song is kind of what I would have said if I was just being a little reckless. So, it was just about me meeting up with him, and going through some things and wanting his comfort and opinion, but I didn’t really say all of those things when we met up. You go so deep with someone when you’re together, and then when you break up, it’s like you’re strangers, but it’s weird because that person still in hard times is going to provide the most comfort for you in a sense. The song is about meeting up with an ex, or a past love, and wanting still that comfort of that connection that you had with that person, even if you’re not together, like when it’s cold outside, or you go through a hard time. It really encompasses the different sides of me, so I feel like it’s really cool that we caught that all in one piece. He’s so legendary, and we knew this was going to be the first song. This song I did with a producer named Apex Martin, and Che Pope, and Che is really my mentor, and it was a dream to work with him. I am managing myself right now, and just really took control of the direction of my career and how i’m releasing things and how I’m doing things. It’s really honest, I’m really happy to be in this place.
It’s the first song I’ve put out in over a year. Frank Sinatra was a staple in our house too.Ĭan you tell us about making your new single, “Cold Outside?” Then as I grew older, and discovered some of my own music, I was really drawn to Lauryn Hill, and Jazmine Sullivan has been a huge influence. My favorite musicians were mostly a lot of Motown artists, because that’s what my dad listened to and had on in the house, so, there was The Temptations, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, and then I was into Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Donny Hathaway. Who were the biggest inspirations for you when you were growing up? So, in high school, I just kind of honed in on the singing and songwriting, and it was when I became obsessed with music even more, and dance was just a part of it – but the singing was my main passion. I just always knew that i wanted to be a singer, and dance was just a part of it.
