Rora Interview with Muzique Magazine

How did you come by your stage name?

When I first started making music, my first name was “xolvl”, xo being from Lil Uzi Vert’s Xo Tour Life and lvl as in “I’m on my own level”. I go by the name “rora” now simply because it came to me one day, but people still call me May online and face to face.

When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?

I have a friend, Jonathan. There was once that I was with him and I told him about maybe trying out music and seeing what happens. He was the one that stuck with me, motivated me, and forced me to see it through. After a while, I saw my own talent and decided to stick with it because people enjoyed what I created as well.

To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?

I like to believe that I have my own sense of style, but a lot of it I can give credit to is the Digicore and Hyperpop sub-genre. I can gain a lot of creativity from it and a lot of the artists there are full of talent.

On your current project, how did you come up with the concept?

My latest release “stay” was influenced by a new wave of 90’s R&B plug. It was a story I made up about a girl switching up on a guy who was in love with her and how she would keep going to another guy instead of him.

What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?

The biggest challenge was for sure getting the confidence to use my real voice and taking a long time to experiment with my own craft.

Are you the best at what you do in your opinion?

I am definitely not the best, but I believe no one is the absolute best at anything. I can say I’m good at what I do but I can always be better and change ways.

What are your plans for the near future?

I hope to be able to gain a bigger following and be able to get noticed more. I want to connect with more artists and producers and be able to get a bigger name in the underground scene.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank, any shoutouts?

I appreciate the ones that stuck by me and never switched up on me.

What suggestions do you have for other artists like yourself?

I would say to just keep on going and pursue what you do, do what you like, and keep practicing. Always feel confident in what you do and do it for yourself, don’t let people get to you.
