The Festyle Diaries is a very raw and transparent documentation of my personal, spiritual and creative journey. Tune in at your own risk.
In honor of the re-release of my debut album ‘Everything Festyle’, I sat down with one of my mentors; AQ, a Chicago rapper, DJ, Producer, community leader & teaching artist. We talked about his process producing the beat for one of the album’s hits: ‘Don’t Call Me Babygirl’, his creative journey, Chicago Hip-Hop & more!

In this episode, I talk about the lows of my writing process when it comes to writing songs. In this music industry, you’re expected to write fast, especially as an up-and-coming artist who isn’t well-known or popular yet. That narrative doesn’t resonate with me, but must be overcome in my music career. I dive into that.
