You just dropped ‘Monday Dance’, tell us a little bit about how that song came about. But in the past year, there’s been a great increase in girls in the scene so things are changing. I feel like that’s the best way to show that I as a female deserve the same recognition that a male would get. I hate being put into a female rapper box it’s annoying and you know rap is rap but it’s also definitely motivating, I take all my frustrations out in music. Inequality can definitely take its toll and cause a lot of frustration. It’s known that women have a tougher time in the music industry, how do you keep yourself sane with everything that happens? Music is an outlet for me so inspiration comes from everywhere and anywhere but I’m always looking at something I love art, fashion, and film so I just let it all bounce off each other.
Music is such a gamble, you have to tell yourself you can make it from the jump but for me, it was coming to London and having people who are already in the industry say that they believe in me or see the potential. When did you know you could make a career out of music if you’ve even thought about it like that? I think my two biggest inspirations are Travis Scott and Pharrell Williams for creativity and being moguls in the industry. It might be their style or their sound, how they dance or I could just be inspired by how they’ve built themselves. So many honestly I think my answer changes every time, I admire artists for lots of different reasons there’s a lot more to an artist than their music. Who were/are your musical inspirations if you have any? I think some people would see it as a barrier or maybe a reason not to become a rapper, but for me, it was like “aw no one’s really done this before or been able to take it far” so I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna change that narrative.
Coming from somewhere we don’t typically expect rappers to come from, why did you decide you would do it?įor me it’s like my aspirations and hobbies have nothing to do with where I’m from. I feel like I’m seeing a lot more creatives and networking going on, hopefully, soon it’d be cool to have our own scene. Cardiff’s a very small place so it feels like not much really goes on but that’s changing.
