The musical artist admits that it is "surreal" to see her music take off and that fans are relating to her bops. "I’m so excited so many people have connected with it across the world," she notes.

"I get inspired by words and simple concepts that I love to build off of. If someone is talking to me and they say something that sparks an idea, I write it down immediately," she says of her process, adding that "music has always been a huge part of my life. I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with it."

Going forward, the Canada native has a lot of goals left to complete. "I hope to release many bodies of work that I’m proud of and continue to create worlds that I can look back on for the rest of my life," she shares. "It’s a dream of mine to work with Max Martin."
