a Selfie with Sosi
1. How long have you been making music and how did you first get into it?
i started making music when i was in the 3rd grade. my sister took piano lessons and i'd try and play the songs that she'd play. eventually that turned into me playing piano all the time and making my own songs. that turned into me starting to play guitar and singing along with that, and here we are today.
2. Where did you grow up and how would you describe the environment?
i grew up in a lot of places. i spent my early childhood years in Reno, NV, with my mom, and that time of my life sucked. a lot of drugs and crime was around me and it was just not a good environment for a kid. later on, between my 2nd and 3rd grande year, i moved to Rockford, IL to live with my 2nd cousin and his family. that was very different because they were super religious at the time and i knew nothing about that stuff. it was definitely a change that needed to happen though.
3. Who are some of your favorite artists/producers to work with and why?
my favorite artist to work with is the only one i've worked with- velvetears. she's the best to collab with... producer-wise, i don't think i could put one above the other. they each inspired me for different reasons, and that appreciation is equal towards them all i'd say.
4. How would you describe your process when putting together a song?
sometimes life will really inspire me and i'll wanna get everything out on the mic, so i'll find a beat that's fitting towards what i'm feeling and go from there. other times i'll have lyrics that i've just written with no music, and an instrumental will come along that fits well with what i've written.
5. What are some of your hobbies outside of music?
some of my hobbies outside of music include walking outside with my dog, painting, playing video games, gardening, watching anime, and designing clothes.
6. Anything else you’d like to add?
to everyone that supports me, thank you. it means more than you know and i wouldn't be able to do any of this without you. i'll never forget that.
