This gave her the confidence to start exploring the music world and the endless of possibilities it could bring. But before coming to Los Angeles, where she now resides, she explains how the previous 6 years were the hardest years of her life.
“I was in the darkest place for 6 years. The reason behind that is I was only trying to follow my dreams but when you try to do something completely different than what society teaches you to do, suddenly everybody is against you, and you find yourself all alone. I was always taught to never lose your self-belief, even when times are rough, so I did what I was taught by my parents. I listened to my heart and kept on following my passion for music. I think those 6 years were definitely a challenge for me and my love for music made me overcome that”.
