DV!N Perspective on Body
I typically go for whatever theme I am feeling at the time of creating music. I don't care about genres. If I'm happy, sad, excited, in love, out of love, out of my mind (LOL), etc. I try to reflect that emotion in my music. As humans, we are a ball of emotions, we're often not a stright line and I like to demonstrate that in my music. This can be seen in my multi-genre releases; when we're sad we gravitate to things that pacify that emotion, if we're happy we do the same, so if that's the case it's only fair for me as an artist to make music that mathces my/our emotions because we relate more than we care to be aware of.

Immensely! Vulnerability incoming...I used to sound terrible and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I had to find my voice, my pitch and my style, although that was a journey I was happy to learn that my voice would not limit me to a specific type of music. I love a wide variety of music and I hoped for the ability to craete the music that I loved, regardless of its genre. Thankfully finding my sound helped me to discover so much about myslef, my voice and my ability to create genre bending music.
This song is a reflection of my chill, laidback personality. It's smooth, relaxing and provocatively dancey.

LATE! I always loved music and when I was younger I used to write for my brother and cousins. However, I could never catch the rhythm of a beat to record, so at that point I became discouraged and took a very long haitus. It wasn't until March 19, 2023 that I found an App that reawakwened my passion for music, only this time I learned how to record and produce. 30+ years later here I am embarking on a journey that most people thought I was crazy for pursuing so late in life, but...you never know until you try.

I hope to build an intimate fanbase that will allow me to travel the world to meet and entertain them through engaging and memorable experience.
Honestly, there is a story behind this question. When I begin making music every "good" song I made became my new favoirte song until it was pushed out by my next "good" song. Oddly, that is why 'Body' was my first release because it was the first song that made me beleive that I really had a talent for creating music. There was a song before 'Body' that demonstarted to me that I could record music but 'Body' showed me that I could produce, layer vocals and really push the limits.
That said, if I had to answer this question...I'd have to say that my favorite song is a song that I am currently working on named 'Brave' becasue it's a deeply emotional song that reflects how loss often occurs through the fear of being brave and taking risks. This particular song is about losing someone you loved because you weren't brave enough to do what needed to be done to keep them around. But...my next "good" song is also destined to be my favorite. LOL.
I believe I was 6, 7 or 8 and I can recall vividly that I was listening to Michael Jackson's "Remeber the Time", blaring on a stereo and I was singing very loudly out of the front living room window, imagining myself performing the song.
I want people to connect with my music as it connects to the emotion they're experiencing in that moment. That is why I make music inspired by emotions and not a genre. I believe that genres are only good for searching for the emotion you're experincing, nothing else.
Pop, Afro Pop, R&B
A variation of relevant and timely emotions expressed through captivating music and a refreshing vocal performance.
A sold out arena would be idea. However, I wood be just as happy with a sold out smaller, more intimate venue because I like to interact with my fans/friends.
My absolute favorite is through live shows. Alternatively, SoundCloud, social media, streaming platforms.
Loving. Smart. Kind.
I practice a lot, maybe too much. But that's likely because I've never been confident in my ability to be a performer. I believe I have the ability to make great music, but there is a distinctive difference between making great music and being a great performer. My first ever performance, I believe was terrible, but it helped me to see where I needed to improve.
I think responses about my voice/vocals stick out to me the most because I've always questioned my sound or what I should sound like. Once I found my voice I got rid of the idea that I was supposed to sound a certain way or sing a certain song of a certain genre and I began making music that I believed connected me to my fans.
I define success as an artist as having a fan base that is unwaveringly supportive in everything I do. In the same way, I measure success in how closely connected I can remain with my day-one's and creating an effective way to stay connected to all of those who follow. I am a people-first type of person, I love a great connection. Music is a universal language, it brings us together in the craziest of ways and it keeps up connected through every note, lyric and melody. At this early stage in my music career that's what's most important to me, the inherentl nature of music's ability to connect us and keep us connected.
I respect genres to an extent, but I also believe that genres can be creatively debilitating, as they keep talented artists from exploring their creativity. If I love Americana, Folk, Indie Pop, R&B, Afro Beats or Alt Rock and I feel like I can produce a quality music of any said genre, I should be able to do that without fear of retribution. I don't want to be pigeonholed or expected to make only a certain type of music simply because of how I look or because I have a different sound. I want to make music that I love. I also like to share in people's pain and joy and frustration and loss and heartache, etc. and believe I am able to do this by making music from various perspectives, regardless of its genre.
