One of my main struggles is understanding the level of freewill I have with this particular project. I hadn't had much of it while working in the past with other great artists, because, as far as I saw it, my art existed to develop their world; not mine. So now that I'm in a space where the music exists to build my world, it feels a bit strange I won't lie.

But it's liberating. Really, really liberating.

I can't wait to show y'all what we work on.

It means that I, in turn, refuse to believe in what I create. Art is a reflection of what we think about our own perception of everything. So in making music, something so deeply personal, I find myself constantly second guessing. Now, if one found themselves working with one of the best young producers in the world and also being completely new at making music, the bridge between being 'okay' and being absolutely terrible feels insurmountable. I was on the phone with TOBi, a Canadian artist from Brampton who's helped me a lot in terms of laying the basis for my musical journey. I asked him what it was like, selling his own mixtapes out the back of his car. Now he got a couple albums and awards. So why not ask an extremely emotionally intelligent winner how to get my own feet...
