OAKLAND GIRL IN LA
What makes a subject good to write about?
I literally just write about what I'm going through or what the beat makes me feel. I don't plan out subjects haha. But as a listener I like to hear musicians dig deeper than the surface and say things in a clever way, the combination of the two not only impresses the listener but also allows more people to relate.
Which musicians have inspired you?
I really love everything about Prince, I'm also a huge fan of Kanye and listened to a lot of different types of music growing up.
How have people responded to your Sapphire EP?
People seem to get it and that makes me happy. People seem to get the whole idea behind who Sapphire is and that's really important to me. For me, this EP marks a big chunk of growth within my music and creativity. I'm excited to keep exploring that.
What can we expect from your next release?
I'm working on some visuals and other things for Sapphire vol 1, and when the time is right I'll be releasing Sapphire vol. 2
What are your favorite things to do during your free time?
When I get a chance I really love spending time with my friends and family. We usually watch movies or eat and always talk for hours. I live in LA right now and love taking trips up to Oakland every chance I get.
In what ways are the music scenes different between LA and Oakland?
Oakland is a smaller city than LA, so from my experience growing up there it's easier to identify who does what and build a platform. In LA there are so many people and so many artists and so much commercialism, a lot of what's going on tends to get lost in the noise. You really have to dig to find what's going on or what you like in LA. In Oakland, it's right there in your face and everyone is rockin with it. It's a wider sense of community, whereas in LA there are specific scenes for everything under the sun. Two completely different worlds.
Lastly which musicians from California should people be listening to?
All of them! But lately I've really been into this rapper named Kool John and this singer Rayana Jay.
