WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST SURREAL MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER SO FAR? It%u2019s always surreal when someone recognizes me or tells me my music got them through something%u2014that never gets old. It%u2019s wild seeing my name pop up in places I never expected, like playlists with artists I%u2019ve admired for years. I%u2019ve also met and DM%u2019d with people I%u2019ve looked up to since I was little%u2014though sometimes I just write back, %u201cI LOVE YOU HOLY SH*T%u201d in all caps. Not very chill of me, but it%u2019s crazy that they even know who I am. R&B IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING%u2014HOW DO YOU SEE YOUR MUSIC FITTING INTO THE GENRE%u2019S FUTURE?My focus isn%u2019t on fitting into the future of the genre%u2014I just want to stay authentic to myself, no matter where music trends go. That being said, I have such a deep love for R&B that I think it%u2019s impossible to separate myself from it completely. No matter how my sound evolves, that foundation will always be there. YOUR SONGS BALANCE VULNERABILITY AND CONFIDENCE EFFORTLESSLY. IS THERE ONE TRACK IN PARTICULAR THAT FEELS THE MOST PERSONAL TO YOU? %u201cSave Yourself%u201d is definitely that song for me. It came out of me in 20 minutes, but it was born from my most painful time. That was my darkest period, and I see that song as the moment I was finally honest with myself%u2014about the romantic relationship I was in and, more importantly, the relationship I was having with myself.
