Artistic techniques
Working in studio – When composing her own songs, she looks at life situations. Her
priority is to inspire and uplift. Her lyrics are scripted and molded in a way easy for
the audience to understand. Sometimes the song creation starts with the making of
the instrumentals, and sometimes the instrumentals are inspired by the story she
wishes to tell
