Your new album ‘blanc’ is putting your experiences and translating them into lyrics. It is a very difficult process. How did you begin work on it?

I started working on the album a year ago but had to push it to the side because of other projects I was working on, but starting this year I mainly focused on “blanc” and now I’m just so excited to release it to the world!!
