Where did you grow up?
I was born and raised in San Diego, California until I moved to Los Angeles when I turned 18 years old. I grew up a little rough; I came from a broken household. My parents divorce really affected me at a young age; they divorced when I was 14 years old. After the divorce, I didn’t see my dad for 3 years. During those 3 years, I spent a lot of time with my mom, who was also struggling. During my upbringing, my mom was very adamant that I went to singing lessons at an early age. She did everything she could to get me into those lessons.

What made you move to Los Angeles?
I moved to Los Angeles when I was 18 years old. I had auditioned to be a part of a girl group and shortly after I became a member of the group. My stage name for those next 3 years was “Spring” . We had a lot of ups and downs before my exit from the group in February 2022. I took a break away from music completely; I wasn’t even sure if I ever wanted to get back into music again- Being a part of that group had left a very sour taste in my mouth.
Did you get back into music after your exit?
Yes! I came back as a solo artist in November 2023. I came back so energized and excited for this new journey in my career. I wanted to show people who I am; I didn’t feel that fans knew who I was when I was a part of my former girl group; I didn’t have an identity like I do now. I realized in my time away that life is too short to not be able to fully express yourself and I don’t need validation from anyone. Soon after I started I went on to release “Submissive” in April 2024, “Redo” in July 2024 and “Big Mac” in August 2024. Making the decision to become solo was one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my life; It catapulted my music career.
What inspires your music?
I actually write and inspire my own music. The fact that I’m growing into the woman that I am has been so fulfilling. My music represents my upbringing in hoping that others can relate to me. I love that I get to express my sexuality and what women go through daily.
Who do you look up to in the music industry?
Since I was younger Adele was my biggest inspiration. Now that I’ve grown and matured my current inspirations are Doja Cat, Amy Winehouse, Rhianna and early Lady Gaga.
Who would be your dream musician to collaborate with?
I would love to collaborate with Doja Cat and Cardi B. I am obsessed with their music and their lyrics. I love how free they are and tell their story through their music. I can relate to a lot of what they sing about. I admire how engaging their fan base is and that’s something I aspire to do with my fans.
What was the journey like along the way and how has it changed?
I am all self taught- everything I wanted to know, I taught myself. I’ve changed along the way in discovering my self confidence. I now have the firmest hold on who I am as an artist and as a woman. Music has allowed me to be more free and talk about my life experiences. I’ve grown up so much in the past couple of years.
When did social media become a part of your life?
It became a part of my life when I was 16. I started doing some freelance modeling in San Diego. I gained a few thousand followers on Instagram at the time but my biggest breakout was a photo I posted in the Summer of 2022. To me it was just a photo of me by the beach in my hometown San Diego; I thought nothing of it. I woke up the next day to over 14 million views. I was in shock and it wasn’t until that photo that my following skyrocketed to 1 Million followers within a few short months. I realized the power of social media in 2022 and I’ve used it to connect with my fanbase on not just Instagram, but Snapchat, Twitter and OnlyFans.
What are your future goals with music?
My biggest goal is to make a lifelong career out of it. I want to inspire anyone to embrace their wild side and to stay true to who they are. At times I think that my lyrics are what everyone is thinking, but no one is saying.
What’s been the hardest thing in the music industry?
For me it has been finding people/ a team who understands me and understands my vision. It’s taken a lot of trial and error but I’m finally in a good place that I am loving!
What’s next for you in the music industry?
I’m currently finishing up my album and releasing it early next year in 2025. It’s a beautiful body of work and I’m really proud of it. It really tells a story of who I am and where I came from. I feel that so many individuals can relate to me.
