My Inspiration
‘What?’ was inspired by my experience during lockdown, which I’m sure many can relate to. It was a really challenging time where I learned a lot about myself as well as the people I was living with. I spent time quarantined with my boyfriend, and also my family.
The song was produced as a result of turmoil and disaster. The unprecedented time of a global pandemic and not being able to leave the house, being quarantined in a space that is not my own and living out of a suitcase re-wearing the same 3 outfits. As a result I dealt with the feeling of loss being separated from my home, my city, friends and routine.
On top of it all I had to manage the stress of being furloughed, and the anxiety around Covid-19. It was a time of uncertainty with so many questions unanswered. It seemed know one knew what to do, or what not to do…it was an emotional whirlwind to say the least.
Coping with so much change around me and living with my long distance boyfriend for the first time posed its own challenges. We learned what it was like to live with each other with no real personal space 24/7. It was a true test of patience, and we really had to empathize and be understanding.
To paint the picture even further, my dad contracted corona-virus, which he has now recovered from thank goodness. Also, the Black Lives Matter movement gained momentum with the death of George Floyd causing nationwide protests and civil unrest. So now you have an idea of what I was going through and all the factors involved in such a turbulent time that influenced my new song, ‘What?’.
The Silver Lining
Among the turmoil there is a silver lining. I learned a lot about myself, I was able to uncover my passion for music. I had a chance to go deeper in my relationship with my boyfriend, and family. And at the end I don’t regret any of it.
It gave me time to think and reflect in the best way and I grew from the experience. Reflection is key and so important to understand what’s important in life. To stop my busy life in New York and to think with purpose.
I turned to music to make myself feel better. As a way to express myself, when I had no other calling. For me it was the purist relationship with music I’ve ever had. This time it wasn’t about comparing myself. It was my creative outlet, my therapy, and birthed naturally. When I took the time to slow down and listen my subconscious grew louder than ever, and in my rawest of states I followed my gut and passion. So here’s to ‘What?’ my second song release of 2020!
I hope you like my second single! It’s a bit different from the last song. I wanted it to be more vibey with a beat, and have an electro pop influence. There’s a bit of Daft punk influence in there as well…so get ready for new music Friday coming soon!
