I wasn’ t shy about whoever I liked, whether she was“ the chubby girl” or not! Jchell: Did you feel there was a need for this song? Chill Cortez: I definitely felt a song like this was needed! I originally wrote the first version back in early 2014, maybe late 2013. I was inspired because as much as I like bigger women, I KNOW other people do too, but it seemed like nobody else was making music for bigger women! I thought it was messed up that the plus community gets overlooked except for a few sporadic shoutouts. I honestly feel like there’ s people in the mainstream who even feel like I feel, but won’ t openly express it because they might be“ afraid of what society will say”, for whatever reason. So I wrote what was true to me in hopes that it would help somebody else.
Jchell: Do you plan on having an official music video for“ Big Fyne”? Chill Cortez: I definitely do!! I hope to have it completed and released by March, or April at the very latest.
Jchell: What feed back have you received since releasing your song? Chill Cortez: A lot of people love the song. It’ s a blessing because I’ ve had people tell me they’ re glad someone released a song that directly relates to them, especially without being disrespectful or extra. I love that people can identify with“ Bigfyne”.
Jchell: Do you have any upcoming projects? Chill Cortez: Yes! I am working on my first full body of work,“ Chill Pill”, which I’ m trying to have finished by March or April as well.“ Bigfyne” will DEFINITELY be included on this project! I also will be releasing clothing items really soon. T-shirts, hats, hoodies, and more!
Jchell: What social media outlets are you using to get your song out there? Chill Cortez: I’ m pushing it on my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube accounts for sure.“ Bigfyne” is also available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Tidal, and my official website, chillcortez. com!
