GRIMES MAGAZINE Q&A INTERVIEWS

What motivates you to work hard?

I think when you’re absolutely obsessed with something to the core, it’s kinda impossible not to work hard. not because of some cliche like “i love it so it doesn’t feel like work”, because believe me, it does. it’s more so the visceral want to constantly improve. we also really strive to have a big audience we can talk to about important stuff with, i think being young in 2020, that’s another massive motivation driver!

 What motivates you to work hard? 

I know that sitting around doing nothing is not going to make my dreams a reality, so I am always reminding myself how important it is that I keep hustling all the time. There are times when it can be easy to get lazy or have a bad day but I always try to pick myself up from that and continue working!

The opportunity to be able to do something I love almost everyday is such a blessing. I love being able to always be learning new things and networking with new people.

My music from this release of my new single Half Of It and others is honest. I want my music to be vulnerable and raw.

My favorite sport to play is volleyball. I played in middle school and highschool for one year but I sometimes wish I went farther in it and didn't quit because it is so fun! As far as watching sports, I honestly like watching any sports, but going to football games in person is one of my favorite things to do for sure!
