Hey BM! We are thrilled to have you as the cover star of our 25th anniversary issue. Do you remember how you celebrated your 25th birthday? On my 25th birthday, I spent the day recording my debut song — it was actually a very significant day for me as it was the start of my solo career.
What sort of significance do birthdays have on you? Are you someone who prefers a big party or a simple celebration? I love a big party, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be grandiose. Fortunately, I’ve had a lot of positive memories, and sharing these moments with people close to me had a lot to do with that.
And what about age? Is it just a number for you? Age is just a number with a lot of things often coming with it, and a lot of times, just the opposite as well. Experiences I encounter and how I grow from them are closer indicators of where I’m at. I focus on that to navigate myself rather than focusing on the actual number itself.
You are about to hit the big three (turn 30). Do you think it represents a new phase in your life compared to your twenties? It does feel like a new chapter is about to unfold. I spent most of my 20s developing as an artist and my 30s feel like it’s going to be an extension of all that whether it’s focusing on fashion or acting. I’m excited to learn more about myself and where I want to be heading to become a better and more compelling artist.
