"My music is based on touching you in a certain way. I don't have a wall, that's my brand."

"When I started out, I had an idea of what I wanted my sound to sound like. But I didn’t know what steps to take and how to say it so I just winged it and hoped for the best. My references were the people who I looked up to. I listened to them and took what I liked from them even though they come from different genres. Chronixxx does reggae, there’s Rihanna, Daniel Caesar and Caiphus Semenya. A song that impressed me lyrically was amaGama by uNathi. That’s the writer I want to be one day."

"I feel like being honest helps me heal. I decided to put that in my music. I hope they [fans] notice how I stand out."

"When you are being real, there’s no one like you, and there’s so much power in that."

"Many are grateful for this year Be happy you are still alive I'm going to get all my love for you I'm happy you're still alive Put it in there Tell him you understand Please forgive each other Mistakes happen."
