Interviewed by All Access Music and when asked, “Growing up, did you always want to be a musician? Can you recall your earliest musical memory?” She answered,

Yes, the first memory that I can recall I was about 6 years old in the back of my parent’s car on the way to my grandparents to go swimming when “Sugar Sugar” by Babybash came on. I remember singing along and asking my mom to turn it up. Yes, growing up I always wanted to be someone others could look up to. Music was always my passion so I knew that is what I would do."
