I would hope to send the message that it’s really important to just keep yourself open minded, be true to yourself and not think too much about other people's reactions to what you are going to do. That is something I have always believed in and has taken me to really great places so far and I have met a lot of really great people online and in real life.

I remember I wrote it in LA on one of my first co writes ever and it was really nerve wracking. “I Want To Be With You” is, along with “Manta Rays”, a pretty cathartic song. **Tell me about your new single “I Want To Be With You”, what is it about and how do you feel about releasing it?** It’s odd, but I try to look past all the overwhelming stuff and think that I have a lot more time now since I started so early. This is exactly what I’ve been working for this whole time and now I can just keep going and keep working for it. I know there's a lot of other kids my age who have been doing music for a while, but it still feels really odd to me that this is finally it. ![]() It’s weird it doesn’t even really feel real. **You started playing covers on youtube at age 13, and since then have grown into the artist you are today, what is it like to be in the music industry at such a young age?** I have had to learn how to write and collaborate with other people remotely which is a little bit weird, but it’s fun. **Has it affected the way you create music at all?**įor sure, I think everyone has been learning in their own ways and I wrote my own stuff alone in my room to begin with, but working with other people was a thing I started doing right as the pandemic started setting in. But it’s definitely a really great thing that I’m able to write my own stuff and I’m able to work right now, I stay pretty grateful about it even though sometimes it gets a little bit stressful. ![]() Jumping into a full work mode and trying to keep up with everything that is going on in the world as well not just here in my room, but in the entire country and the world is a little bit stressful sometimes.
