What are you best known for?

My music videos for sure! I’m a full blown well rounded entertainer and creating visuals for my music is my favorite thing to do because I can combine all my talents for one single project. I’m a singer, songwriter, dancer, video editor, director, producer, graphic designer, actor, I do it all so being able to utilize all of those skills makes me orgasm. Plus I like to make sure all my videos are fun. That’s my number one goal all the time. No matter how stressed I am behind the scenes trying to get everything accomplished, that shit better be fun. It’s gotta be one of the most fun visuals you’ve ever seen. Period. I feel like I’m pretty good at executing that.

What is the first thing you worked on?

Besides the mattress firm commercial I did when I was a child, my music video for my song “Insane” was the first project I did as an independent pop star. I came up with the concept myself and got my friend Landon Ching to choreograph for me. It was sick. Very underrated. I edited it all on my iPhone 6S, cracked screen and all. I actually had little cuts on my fingers from editing it. Right after I finished the video I instantly bought the iPhone X. I just wanted to challenge myself because I knew I could do it on the 6s. I wanted bragging rights. But yeah it's a sick 80’s pop dance video that heavily relies on performance and effects. So many crazy effects in it, and they get crazier as the video goes on. The glitches and effects are actually there to represent my anxiety issues. They start off kinda minimal and get busier and more chaotic as the video comes to an end. You can still find that video on YouTube right now :)

What are you working on that no one knows about yet?

Well now I’m gearing up for my “Pop Music Vol. 1” EP Release with. Brand new visual for my latest single “Until the DJs Done”. It’s another 80’s pop concept but this time we’re bringing some more futuristic trippy effects that are just so mind-blowing and aesthetically pleasing I can’t wait to share it with everyone. I’ve been working on this project for a couple months now and it should be on all streaming services!
