The genre that best describes my style of music would fall under West coast hip hop and rap.

As an artist from the Bay Area, who are your greatest musical influences when it comes to your sound? 

Coming from the Bay Area, I’ve always loved listening to E-40, Too Short, and Mac Dre. However, as a female rapper, I feel that EVE and Left Eye have influenced me the most. I’ve always gravitated toward their style and flow.

With all the controversy surrounding females in Hip-Hop ex. (Nicki Minaj vs. Lotto & Cardi B) Do you believe there’s room for more female artists to share the spotlight in such a competitive industry?

By being my most true and authentic self, I have my own unique style that people gravitate to. People tell me I’m different and I’m okay with that. I don’t want to be anyone else but me.
