“Sans Fin” is my newest release — a powerful, emotional collaboration with TroubleBoy Hitmaker. This project represents a love story that refuses to fade, a connection that lingers even when everything else falls apart. Working with TroubleBoy brought fire and balance to the record, creating a sound that is sensual, raw, and unforgettable. “Sans Fin” marks the start of a new era for me — bolder, freer, and unapologetically honest.

What is your earliest memory connected to music?

I remember being a little girl singing melodies I didn’t even understand yet. Music was the first place I felt powerful — even in silence. It was my first language, my first escape, and the first thing that made me feel seen.

How did your passion for creating music begin?

My passion began the moment I realized music could say everything I was too afraid to express. Writing became my courage. Singing became my truth. Creating became the way I healed and transformed every pain into something beautiful.

What’s the story behind your current music project?

This project comes from a chapter of breaking, healing, and rising stronger. “Sans Fin” is the heart of that story — a reminder that some emotions stay, even when the person doesn’t. It’s about loving deeply, losing deeply, and still choosing yourself in the end.

How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?

My sound is soulful and seductive, with hints of Caribbean warmth and emotional depth. It’s soft but powerful, tender but fearless. Imagine elegance wrapped in heartbreak, wrapped in resilience.

What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?

I learned to stop hiding. The moment I started creating from a place of truth — not perfection — my music transformed. Authenticity is louder, richer, and far more daring than anything rehearsed.

What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?

A mic, my notebook, Logic or FL Studio, and my voice memos filled with late-night ideas. But honestly? The most essential tool is the emotion I bring into the studio. That’s where the magic lives.

Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?

I’m drawn to artists who sing from the soul — the ones who aren’t afraid to bleed a little in their music. Anything raw, real, and beautifully imperfect always grabs me. To name a few

How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?

Everything I’ve lived fuels my art. My pain, my growth, my education, my resilience — it all shapes the woman behind the microphone. I don’t create from imagination; I create from memory, from scars, from truth.

What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?

I want them to feel empowered even in their vulnerability. I want them to hear my music and remember their worth, their strength, and their ability to rise even when their heart is breaking. I make music for the ones who refuse to stay down.

What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?

That vulnerability is a weapon and a gift. When you’re honest, your voice becomes unstoppable. Music taught me to be fearless.

What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?

Afro nation, Afropunk, Essence Fest, Coachella — any stage built for energy, emotion, culture, and truth. I want my voice echoing in spaces where thousands of hearts feel something at the same time.

If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?

Lauryn Hill for her depth.

H.E.R. for her soul

Burna Boy for his fire.

They create with intention, emotion, and power — traits I live for in music.

Where can our listeners follow and support your music?

You can follow and support me everywhere:

More platforms will be added as the new era unfolds.

Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?

I want to tour the world, create timeless records, and build a legacy that empowers women to own their voice. I see myself stepping into my full power — bigger stages, deeper stories, and music that touches generations.

What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?

That I’m a woman who feels deeply, loves boldly, and rises fiercely. That behind every song is a story I survived and transformed into art. That I am more than a singer — I am a voice, a healer, and a storyteller.
