Who inspires you musically?

Do you think talent alone is enough or is formal education important if you want to make it in the industry?

No, education plays a huge role in giving us the skills we needs to make good decisions and be successful in the industry. Also just to enhance the talent. That's why I'm going back to school too.

Biggest challenge you've faced so far and how did you overcome it.

I've battled with the type of sound that works for me for a long time because I'm versatile, I'm able to do different genres so it was always hard for me to identify with any genre/ favor a certain genre. I personally think it's not right for us to be limited or boxed into genres.
