Those who know her story and how she’s come up, will agree that the level that’s she’s currently working on just feels sort of magical. 01 I always say music is the actual universal language. Music has always been her first love. She grew up in a very music oriented family, it was bound for her to fall Inlove with it, it's just been a sense of peace and therapy, it really plays a big part in her life, she could never see herself doing anything else, but this. Before she started writing songs, she has been listening to other people's songs and she relates so much. She states that some songs saved her, they kept her together and they kept her connected to life also into her soul and spirit. In terms of what inspires her music, she feels like anything goes, but still feels like if someone listens to her music well enough, there's a recurring theme that mostly speaks about relationships a lot. SBX doesn’t believe in idols, but she believes in God and inspirations, she can attest that God has been doing the most for her and her career in music. Her biggest inspiration is Rihanna she loves the way she transitioned from music to business. She has been singing since she was eight years old around that time she entered her first talent show when she was in grade four. She was not sure about it, but she did great, from then she only started taking song writing seriously in 2019, which was also the same year that she started recording. When it comes to my music, whatever I experienced, whatever touches my heart, whatever touches my spirit and my soul is what will inspire the music. Um, it's what will contributes lyrics. It's what will contribute to the music videos. You know, I want things to be as close as possible to the truth and, um, yeah, that's, that's, that's what it is when it comes to my music. 02 I just want to let my supporters know that it's okay to be yourself, It's okay to love. It's okay to cry and It's okay to not be okay. Don't let anyone tell you who to be, what to be, what you feel, allow yourself to go through the motions, figure out your emotions, allow yourself to live, lie to yourself and experience new things. Never hold yourself back, life is something that you just need to grab by the horns and just be risky with it.
