🛣️ Can you share a bit about your artistic journey, from your early works to your most recent projects?
Growing up, I was surrounded by music. It has always been a big thing in our family and It’s kind of what glued us all together. I remember my parents bringing my sister and I to shows at a very young age and my dad playing in a small local band so we would spent our nights watching him perform whenever he had a gig.
Art and creation was the center of everything and my favorite thing to do when I was a kid was writing. I would write poetry, plays, short stories or scripts. Then on my 14th birthday, my parents got me a ukulele and that’s when I first started writing songs.
As I grew older, I kept writing stuff until I decided to create a band and bring my songs to life. It was something very ‘garage’ and grunge, we were just going with the flow and having fun. We played 4 years together, put an EP out and played few exciting shows until we split up. Since then, I’ve started my journey as a solo artist, my first EP was released last year and now the single “Waiting”.
⛵ Are there specific themes or experiences that consistently inspire your songwriting?
Most of the times, my songs indicates how I am at the moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s something specific that happened or just a feeling in my gut, I use them to verbalize what I can’t.
@alietheband Please please please let me get what I want #coversong #thesmiths #pleasepleasepleaseletmegetwhatiwant
It often reflects past conflicts or trauma, specially on my new work that hasn’t been put out yet, where I use music as a way to cope, heal and letting go.
🎙️Can you walk us through your recording and production process?
What I usually do is pick up an instrument and try to have fun with it, it can be my guitar, my ukulele, a piano or even the bass. Once I get my song done, I record a demo with a cheap microphones in my bedroom. I then send it to a producer and exchange on the vision and how we could bring it to life.
My last project, which isn’t out yet, was recorded in a studio in Paris with the producer Tiery F.
🫂 Is there a dream collaboration you would love to pursue in the future?
Honestly, there’s so many talented artist out here that it’s hard to only say a few.

💡 What advice would you give to aspiring indie artists who are just starting their musical journey?
I would say keep going and creating without putting too much pressure on yourself. Explore, try new things, find what you love and hold on to it.
