you would assume that this song is based off another person & that its a love song, based off the title and the lyrics. but really, it's a letter to myself; my younger, current, and future self. 

I wrote this song as another way of saying "im gonna make you proud". it's about giving my all and trying my best to make the dreams I have come true. the lyrics in this record, in my opinion, are so clever. "I can't promise you forever, but I can swear on this, I know, I'll give you my all". 

there are a lot of good moments in this song that tell a story. that's also why you hear a throwback audio of little mia (at 2 years old) & my mom as she explains that she's recording the moment so that future mia can look back at it. its a really bittersweet addition to the song that ties together the overall message (if you didn't catch it while listening). I love the placement of it. 

this song truly sets the tone of my mindset starting 2024. im so excited for the journey to come. cheers to doing it for our younger, current, & future selves :)

Do It For You

i think this song is pretty self explanatory. it's about keeping the faith within making my dreams a reality.. because "it'll happen any day now". i'm fr spitting bars on this one lol 

this song perfectly encapsulates the style of music i make. its R&B mixed with hiphop. i'm singing but still flowing with my words.. almost like i'm rapping. there's something different and unique about this song, but still familiar to what i usually do. the energy in here is so exciting. 

I LOVE IT.  

play out mentality throughout allllll of 2024! :)

Play Out

Play Out ft. LATASHÁ {REMIX}

i'm a big fan of the show, White Lotus, specifically the second season. when i heard this track, i wanted to write from a perspective & life way outside of my own. i thought about Lucia (from White Lotus) and *SPOILER ALERT* when she left Albie & took his money lol. 

i took a little bit of that as inspiration and ran with the idea. it was so much fun to write from a different perspective, and about something i'd never do (im not a gold digger, trust 🤞🏽). this track is also really funky and cool :) 

FUN FACT: i recently had the amazing opportunity to perform in Italy. so.. we took advantage of that & recorded another version of the song where i mention Italy (in the original song i talk about going to Japan, & that version will be on DSPs. but YOU GUYS get the Italy version lol). anyway we shot a video for this song out in Venice. COMING SOON!

this song is a perfect start to the summer. i think we all need a vacation lol. enjoy :)

Vacation

As soon as I heard the beat for this track, I knew instantly what kind of tone I wanted to go with. I opened this song with the lyric "Were you dropped on your head as a baby?", which immediately captures the listeners ear. 

The rest of the song follows the idea of being someone’s number one. It tells the story of being adored without compromise — no competition, no games, just pure devotion. 

This song is gonna resonate with many many people who know what it's like to be loved whole-heartedly — and it'll also be a way to manifest it :) 

Enjoy this :)
