What’s the single-most important message you want to put out into the world? I’m most inspired by feeling misunderstood. In songs, just because someone seems weak, doesn’t mean they are. I write for the underdog and those who are misunderstood. There are a lot of unkind people in the world. So I write a lot about that. This new EP has a song called “Human Condition,” and there’s a song about anxiety. I find the humanity in my music. It’s all super personal. It’s all very heat of the moment. It can be heavy. Songwriting is good therapy though. In a very non-morbid sense, what legacy do you want to leave behind? Definitely modesty. But not uncool modesty. There are so many things in social media that are so sad. Women just show it all. I don’t want that to ever be something I’m representing personally. Also, vocals are so important to me. I want my work to be very vocally driven. I want people to know that I have strength in my voice. But I just want a really positive vibe. I want people to think of me and think of something good.
