Is there something new that you've started doing in the past 4 months? "I started teaching myself pole dancing and practicing Ashtanga yoga. I’ve been focused on deepening my yoga practice and sharing my music. I think the two will eventually come together through sound, meditation, and sacred movement." 

Is there something you’ve stopped doing/caring about in the past 4 months? "I stopped eating meat and dairy." 

What’s your favorite thing about Milwaukee (or place)? "Most proud of the protestors for the BLM movement still showing the f*** UP."

Where or who do you draw your inspiration from? "Inspiration is endless.. Solange, Janet Jackson, Kelela, Donna Summer. I’m influenced by everything, I feel so much. I’m super impressionable and sensitive."
