My music is inspired by my West Indian roots and cultural influence.” That influence is evident in her unique sound, which is a seamless mix of hip hop melodic dancehall rolled into one unforgettable vibe. It’s a sound she prides herself on, especially in a region dominated by drill music.

The forces that drive “Zo Pesos” are varied. She cites an artist named Vory as a key influence, but there’s also a personal touch – her father’s early introduction to a studio and her internal attraction towards drums and beat patterns. One of her most cherished memories is being able to record in the studio on his birthday. It’s clear; music isn’t just a career for her; it’s a calling.
