HOW HAS MUSIC IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?

 “Music has always been a source of creative expression for me. I love being able to experiment with different sounds and genres. Apart from singing, I love songwriting as it allows me to express myself through words and lyrics. It’s very therapeutic for me to write when I’m feeling extreme emotions. Music is a great release and has always kept me grounded and aware of my life and the changes around me.”

WHAT ARE YOUR BEAUTY MUST-HAVES?

“I can’t leave the house without sunblock/ tinted moisturiser/BB cream on! I always have lip balm, waterproof mascara, cushion compact foundation (for easy touch-ups throughout the day) on hand. If I’m feeling extra glam, I like to carry around two lipsticks (a nude and a bright colour), brow gel and highlighter (I love to glow to the max)!”
