What are the core values that guide your life and career, and how do they influence the music you create and the way you present yourself to the world?
My core values will always be rooted in home. I always tell people that some of my biggest goals in life are making an impact on the world as an artist, and I am so grateful for this opportunity in my life to step into what I feel my purpose is, but my biggest life dream will always be to be a mom and have a family. I think it helps me stay grounded through any life journey and to tune out any unnecessary noise we all experience as creators—or just humans in the world.

Reflecting on your upbringing, what family traditions or experiences played a key role in defining your character and perspective as a woman?
I grew up being basically raised by five girls, so I think this is what shaped me the most. Being able to understand, love, grow with, share with, and grow up with those women taught me pretty much everything I know now, and I think it allows me to connect with myself and every woman I meet in such a beautiful and unique way.

How does Bodyology serve as a commentary on current cultural and social issues, particularly regarding gender and identity, and what reactions or conversations do you hope to inspire with your music?
Bodyology is essentially about freedom. Living in a time periodwhere liberation and freedom sometimes feel so out of reach, I think it’s important for non-conforming people to find our freedom within ourselves and each other. I hope that people can find community above all with this project. I hope it helps you make friends and meet people who make you feel beautiful, loved, accepted, and supported. That is my main goal for the project. It would make my heart melt.

Your lyrics don’t shy away from being explicit and provocative. What does artistic freedom mean to you, and how do your lyrics reflect your commitment to expressing yourself without censorship or restraint?
I think that my freedom in my lyricism is a funny one to me because it wasn’t something I even really thought too much about when I first started putting out music. The lyrics genuinely made me laugh and have a good time with the friends I wrote the songs with. It was a very early on and sweet time in my career, and I love it when people let their intrusive thoughts fly, ahaha.

Bodyology marks your “boldest era yet.” How has your artistry evolved over time, and what does this new era represent for you personally and professionally?
I’m so excited for this project because I feel that it is a huge leap of growth in my development as a songwriter and artist. It portrays more so where my talents are at today and where I think they’re going. I think it also tells a story of how I hear music and continues to build community in myself and for everyone who listens.

“Artistic freedom means letting your intrusive thoughts fly—and laughing while doing it.“

Can you walk us through your creative process for Bodyology? How do you decide what themes and narratives to explore in your music, and how do you ensure they remain authentic to your own experiences?
The definition of Bodyology is “the study of pop music through dance and movement.” Each song is a different genre of pop music, essentially, that I have found inspiring through my life as a dancer and pop consumer—interpreted and made new again in my own way. As far as the fashion and aesthetic I created that I want people to also find community in, it is a direct ode to the way I grew up in Houston, Texas. I had a wild life, and I think the fashion reflects exactly how I grew up. It was such a chaotic but one of the most fun periods in my life that still lives inside of me forever.

Being named a 2025 Gold House Futures Music Accelerator Artist is a significant achievement. What impact do you hope it will have on your creative journey and the wider music industry?
A big part of why I make music is to create the kind of space I wish I had growing up—especially in pop. I didn’t really see anyone who looked like me, talked like me, or expressed themselves the way I wanted to, and that left me feeling like I had to shrink myself to fit in. Now, I want to be that person for someone else. I want my fans to feel seen, loud, and powerful—like there’s finally someone in pop music who reflects them.

How does “What Do Girls Do?” redefine empowerment for queer communities, and what personal experiences or stories inspired you to write this anthem?
I think “WDGD” is so special because it can be interpreted differently by anyone in whatever way they want to. It is just a song about womanhood—what that means to you—and being in love or lust with the feminine.

Who or what are your biggest inspirations outside of music that continuously drive your creativity and passion for your work?
I think my biggest inspirations outside of music are strangers. I love to take inspiration from observation of life and the people that are in my vicinity.

Fluidity is a significant part of your artistic expression. How do you maintain this fluidity across different facets of your life and career, and what advice would you give to others seeking to embrace their own fluid identities?
I think I’ve always been someone fluid. I have so many placements in Gemini, which I think makes me always shapeshifting, and I always feel the most myself by experimenting with the depths of expression.
