It’s a great feeling – I’m super proud of this album – I wrote the songs between 2018 to 2020 in Stockholm, Sweden, Berlin, Germany and Nashville. It features many of my artist friends in Nashville – Luma, Miss Audrey, Blake Leider, Daisha McBride & Madeline Finn, as well as a gospel choir consisting of Timothy Myles (who plays with me on tour), Damian Malnar (lead singer of the pop band Lost Stars) and Violette LaVelle. Plus 2 DJs – Swiss DJ Fenox and Ukrainian DJ Depdramez. It’s definitely been a group effort, and I am so grateful for all of my collaborations.

20. WE KNOW YOU WRITE AND SHOOT VIDEOS ALL AROUND THE WORLD – WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SO FAR? 

“RIP” is probably the most creative video I’ve made to date – displaying the “death of the old me” and my own funeral (but I don’t die). It was intended to symbolize my sobriety and the birth of this new chapter of my life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J08E5jhpSA

 I love to dance to the records as I write them, so you will usually see me goofing off to the beat.

 Probably my wardrobe – Abercrombie and Fitch was cool – and my CD collection! (I’m dating myself now haha) I had a huge CD collection! 

24. BEST COMPLIMENT YOU COULD GET: 

 That someone likes my music – someone wrote to me on Instagram this week that they loved my album – and told me their favorite songs – it was really rewarding to get unsolicited feedback like that.
