I feel like your songs are very deep and thought provoking. What are some of the things that inspired “Love Won’t Make You Cry”?

I witnessed a lot of different relationships growing up some good some bad but all complicated. I knew from a young age that love is a hard thing to describe and I also knew that love can people sacrifice things that they shouldn’t. I wanted to write a song that described love by saying all the things it shouldn’t do. It is showing people that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your own happiness for love, at some point you have to put yourself first.

How did you come up with bitter’s kiss?
My first album discussed a of different topics but I think the overall theme was finding the good things out of the bad ones and vice versa. I wanted a word to describe the silver lining that exist in these songs and in life in general and that’s how I came up with bitter’s kiss.

Do you feel that the fact that you were raised in a musical family had an impact on your artistry?
Definitely, growing up in a musical home I always had instruments and music around me. It gave me a ton of inspiration and an opportunity to explore my passion at a really young age. It is also helpful to be in a family who fully supports my passion; it is unique and I am very grateful for how it has helped my career.

Is there a song on your new album that means more to you than the rest?
I would say my favorite song is “Love Won’t Make You Cry” because it has a very good message. I think it is important for a girl my age to know that love is not worth it if it is causing you pain. I think it helped me to understand love better as I wrote the song so it means a lot to me.
