It’s a real piece of honesty for the first time in my life. It’s how I genuinely feel about things, and things that myself and my friends have experienced. Nothing was pushed on me, my label was amazing with joining me on this journey. That’s really inspiring for me, because it makes me believe in my own voice. I’ve worked with my brother on a lot of this music, and it’s something that I’m really proud of."
