Congratulations on the release of your new single "All Night"; tell us about your creative process for its development.

I really wanted to do a fun and sexy summer vibe with some Afrobeats sounds. I had planned a trip to LA to work with Stellar Music and we had Zoom meetings to bounce off ideas and inspiration for the music.

I wanted something flirty that people could move to. When I was at the studio we set the studio lights to a warm feel and looped tropical landscapes on the monitors and just began writing and working on multiple song ideas. I played the music to my family and friends back in Cleveland and “All Night” was everyone's favorite song, so we decided to release it as a single. I did another Zoom meeting with Stellar to finish writing the song and I recorded some additional vocals in Cleveland.

Describe for us the music video for “All Night”.

We released the music video on single release day. It was shot at beautiful locations around LA and just like the single, it's all about feel good vibes, summer and being outside.

Will "All Night" be a feature track on an upcoming project? If so, what can you tell us about it?

I am currently exploring new sounds within RnB/Pop and just creating and writing songs. If “All Night” organically fits within the soundscape and context of my next project, it will definitely be included.

Speaking of projects, your last EP, “Late Night Hour”, was released earlier this year. What are you most proud of with this project?

I write my own songs and to see people connect with it is a great feeling. “Late Night Hour” was special because people really began to listen to my music and my city was showing a lot of love. I was able to do an exclusive advance listening session with iHeart Radio 106.1 Cleveland and the singles “Connection” and “Go” are still on rotation.
