Describe how this single came about?
“Sugar Daddy came about as I was working in the studio with Monsta Beatz. We were trying out a different style track than I typically did. He made the track in front of me, and I kept thinking that this was a super fun vibe. I couldn’t hear myself really singing on it, so I started to kind of freestyle. If you know me, I’m always joking about having a Sugar Daddy so I decided to explore the topic and describe what that would look like.”
What are some things that sets your style different from other artists?
“What sets me apart from other artists is my versatility. I don’t like to be locked down to one specific genre. I like to try them all, whatever I’m feeling from the track will be written and explored.”
When you were putting this track together what was the target audience you had in mind?
“My target audience for this track was women/men from 18- 35 because what woman wouldn’t want a sugar daddy lol.”
What are some reasons you would say this track would be a go to listen?
“People should listen to my track because it’s a bop. The actual track is bringing a trap element that will win and the hook is catchy and it’s a feel-good/ fun song.”
What are some things you have coming up in the near future?
“I just signed on with Equity Distribution to release my entire project. I have more shows lined up, I’m working on more music, and I have a few more single releases in the works.”
