“Sometimes we like to keep it simple because it’s really fun to have all the instruments and all the different beats and stuff, that’s really fun for a very certain kind of song, but it’s nice to keep it simple once in a while.”
“I have all four (new) songs written. I have two of them recorded and the other two still need to be recorded but I’m getting in the studio and doing that soon.”
“When I’m writing a song, I do like to start with the melody first but sometimes… I write the lyrics and I create the melody in my head and what I want it to be… However I’m feeling in that moment, I just write about it. And whenever I have a spark or an idea to write I immediately do it.”
“Most of my songs are very positive and upbeat because I like to spread a good message.”
“I’ve written a whole song in a car ride or just in random moments a lot of times just because I have a random spark or idea that I feel like I should write about.”
“…The first song that I started the idea and I started writing… and then we went to go and record it, and when we arrived at the studio that we were recording in… it was… the studio where the Black Eyed Peas recorded their first album… it was an unreal experience.”
“I started singing around (age) six because I did musical theater, and I took singing lessons for musical theater at my dance studio… until I decided to switch to something more commercial, which would be pop music and to actually release… music, which is what I wanted to do.”
“I definitely want to explore all aspects of music. I don’t want to stay in one category or one box… I just would like to make music that comes from me and feels natural and just flows out of me.”
“When I’m voicing the character, I have to add emotion and add happiness or add sadness and what really helps with that is also just making motions or actually acting in the booth because… a person can actually feel… the emotions through the way that you’re speaking and the amount of emotion that you put into your voice.”
