Pour Some Hennessy
Q: What is the most important part for you with making music?
A: Making sure I express myself, and get everything I have been thinking out my head and onto a beat.
Q: What does a session in the studio look like for you?
A: One to three people, very intimate, candlelit, just vibing to the music.
Q: How many times are you in the studio a month?
A: Depends on how I am feeling and if I am able to lock in a session, so it varies.
Q: Who is your biggest inspiration? What about them inspires you the most?
A: Drake, the way he is able to just be vulnerable on a song and make it sound like he is having a conversation with his muse is so fire to me. There is a drake song for every situation in my life because he tells it how he is. I want people to know everything I say is from the heart and they feel at ease and comfort when listening to my music because they do not feel alone with the things they go through.
Q: What is the story behind your newest song I Get Lonely? What inspired you to write this song?
A: I was drunk off wine at my friends’ house and went in the bathroom and called the person who the song is about. We have not spoken at the time in a while because we kinda had a falling out. I called him four times and he picked up each time, he called me back the next day when I was sober and we caught up on life and about my music and it just felt good to speak to him even if it was on some platonic shit. The song was about that situation.
Would you like to be featured?
Q: How do you feel about having so many streams on Spotify? What is your number at now?
A: It is cool, but I can do better, I can market my music better, there is just always room for being better. I do not like to think city wise with nothing because I am a small fish in a big pond with my streams. If I go to LA so it seems like a lot but it is nothing compared to the artist that I want to rub shoulder to shoulder with that I admire. they are knocking out millions of streams. I believe we are at 300k right now.
Q: What are three goals you have set going into the new year?
A: I want to get a songwriting placement in the industry, and branch into songwriting for other artists. I want to have a feature with one of my favorite indie R&B artists. Be easier on myself and put my mental health as my number one priority.
Q: What is something you would like the public to know that normally people would expect from you?
A: I love K-POP/K-SOUL.
Q: What are some of your strengths and weaknesses? How do you use these to leverage your career?
A: My strengths are I am able to be vulnerable in my music and my weakness is I overthink everything, not sure how overthinking can be used to leverage my career, but it helps me be extremely nit-picky with my music. I can hear a key, or hear a kick in a beat, or hear an 808 that I do not like and go in the booth re-record it until I feel it sounds up to par or be able to tell the engineer/producer to fix something.
Q: What do you like and dislike about being an artist from Rhode Island?
A: I like how I am one of many artist that are representing a small town filled with so much talent. I like being the underdog because it gives people a reason to come check for me and see what is in our state. I dislike that we are so slept on because we are not as big as other prominent cities, but that is gonna change real soon.
