Your songs often touch on themes of relationships, nostalgia, and self-discovery. How do you approach writing lyrics that are both personal and relatable?

You nailed it haha. I just like writing things that I feel and writing what truly comes from my heart. I hope that people can relate to it if they can and sometimes I hope they don’t relate to it haha…that way its relatable in itself but I like writing about friendship, love. I’ve wrote songs about my dog, wrote songs about driving on the freeway, all those kinds of things. And anything that feels like home. I love writing about experiences and sometimes conversations. For example, my song “Miss You” is about my childhood best friend. In one part, I am just listing places that we went to. Just little descriptors...I like lyrics that are poetic in that way.

Thats cool! So your debut EP Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life It Changes received critical acclaim for its down-to-earth, atmospheric sound. What was the inspiration behind that project, and how did it reflect your mindset at the time?

I released that EP during covid, I was just going through a huge transitional point in my life. I had just moved from my hometown to New York City and then covid happened and I had this moment of ‘do I go back home or do I stay in the city and do this pursue my dream’. I ended up deciding to stay and wrote the EP. A lot of it was old relationships that changed but I also released the EP that is very real, and started thinking about life and how it can change so quickly and how I was seeing the world change so quickly before your eyes. Such as when you think you know what your path is or who you are, you can step into a whole other field of daisies and you’re like oh my god this is it. I felt that in how that time period was so strange and I am so proud of the project and coming out with something felt really rewarding too.

I feel like especially during covid a lot of people could not get out of something or just found something new to experience with...

It wasn’t easy, I worked at a coffee shop job and then I lost my job. The first thought was ‘Oh Im going to write songs, just everyday, all the time’ and I just wrote a bunch and found my favorites. A lot lyrically and sonically came out of that time cause I was still limited in my space, I didn’t have a studio, I was just pushing to produce myself and it was a really fun project.

Awesome! And are there any particular challenges you face when producing your own music? How do you overcome creative blocks or moments of self-doubt?

All the time! I think producing is a journey in itself, you are trying to find the map but also creating it at the same time. I’ll hear it in my head, and be like ‘Okay I need to find this sound’ but if I get too buried in it, it’s hard to find. I think one of the hardest challenges is with modern music, there are unlimited amounts of sounds you can make. The challenge is trying to choose the ones I like and that sound like me. I love producing and have been doing it for so long and it’s one of the many ways and forms that I have found myself through music.

How do you prepare for a live show compared to when you’re working in the studio? Do you bring any specific rituals or routines to help get into the right headspace?

I love staying organize, I think that is pretty important in terms of the live gear and as in the studio. When I need to be creative it is helpful to have all my tools really close, and when I am in a live setting it is important to know how everything is working all at the same time. I try to just make sure everything is where it is suppose to be, I try to keep organize. And the energy. Working in the studio it is important to stay positive and be gentle with yourself. And in the live setting it is just as important to feel the music and feel creative while performing. As well as also being gentle with myself in knowing that if I don’t feel like hitting a note that night or that my voice is strained or if I trip on a cable, it is okay. So just having grace and staying creative.

What’s it like to be on the road with another rising indie-pop act like The Ivy Band? Are there any shared moments or connections you’ve had that stand out?

The guys are great and I feel so lucky to be on the road with them. We definitely have common creative energy and writing with them was really special especially when we wrote “Don’t Fall Asleep to This” and being on the road has been really rewarding. In knowing the guys more and seeing the energy that they have in the studio is the same as when they are in the van. They are just so kind and welcoming. We have been having so many funny moments too. So, it just feels like a gift to be on the road with them and learn as much from them as possible.

After this tour, what’s next for Lyncs? Are there any upcoming releases or projects you’re particularly excited about sharing with your fans?

Yeah, I just released a song today called “I Live in This Body” that I will be performing tonight After tour, I will be back in the studio to work on another EP release.

So, what role does fan engagement, like your Lyncs Letters community, play in your music career? How do you see these more personal connections impacting your growth as an artist?

It is everything. I think that the Lyncs’ Letters is one of the few tools that I find that I am in control of other than the algorithm. It is my way of escaping that world and that I have a direct line to people who want to know me on a deeper level. Other than just hearing the music or reading the lyrics. I love the Lyncs’ Letters. The fan engagement and everything has to do with reaching an audience is everything to me. I am such a fan of artists myself and nothing compares to getting to meet your favorite artist, and I definitely hold that responsibility really dear to my heart.

That is awesome! Alright if you could live in any era of music history, which period would you choose, and how would it influence your sound today?

Oh my god! That is hard cause you know I would say now I think. I think what is being made now is really cool and unlike anything before that’s why its now. Other than that maybe the 90’s. I feel like that was a really cool time, I liked all the sounds we were making. I am starting to hear more of the Britney Spears back beat drums coming back. There is the UK Garage, even the guys were saying that EDM in the early 2000s. It’s all really good and it is so hard to choose, but I would either say the 90s or now.

If you had the opportunity to collaborate with any artist, producer, or songwriter, who would it be, and why?

In the world right now, I feel like Griff would be really cool. She seems like a really amazing spirit and is so creative. She makes all of her own clothes, I just think that is so cool and she just has an incredible voice. I would love to do something with her.
