"PITY PARTY" seems to delve into personal themes. What inspired you to write a song about your inner critic?

The inspiration came from my own struggles with negative thoughts and self-doubt.

It’s easy to let that inner critic take over, especially when you’re constantly

questioning your worth. I wanted to channel those feelings into something that could

resonate with others who might be feeling the same way.

Can you walk us through the creative process behind "PITY PARTY"?

How did you transform your feelings into music?

The writing process was very raw and honest. I walked into the studio feeling

vulnerable and shared some of my deepest emotions with the team. We used that

openness to shape the song into something real, and the music mirrored my

emotional state - dark, introspective, and layered.

Your music often explores deep emotions and self-doubt. How do you

stay connected to these feelings while creating your art?

I try to stay present with myself and allow my emotions to flow freely. Creating art

from a place of raw honesty requires vulnerability, so I let my guard down and

express what’s in my heart. Staying connected to those feelings is a constant

journey of self-reflection and introspection. Also putting all these emotions into art

feels like therapy which makes me feel very happy.

How do you think your new image for 2025 reflects your growth as an

artist?

My new image is a reflection of my inner growth. I’m embracing a more mature,

introspective, and bold edgy version of myself. It’s about owning who I am, both as

an artist and as a person, and showing my audience that change is a natural part of

growth. I needed that change and I’m glad I took that risk.

Your song "PITY PARTY" touches on tough emotions like self-doubt.

How do you hope listeners will connect with it?

I hope listeners can find comfort in the vulnerability of the song. Self-doubt is

something we all face, and if this track can help someone feel seen or understood,

then it’s done its job. My goal is for people to realize they’re not alone in their

struggles.

In your 2021 debut EP, "a little dramatic," you explored ballads and dark

pop. How did the reception of that album impact you as an artist?

The reception of "a little dramatic" was eye-opening. I was kind of new in the writing

process and this EP was just the beginning. It validated my desire to explore darker,

more introspective themes. It gave me the confidence to continue being

unapologetically myself and dive deeper into the complexities of emotion and

storytelling.

What does being named to Forbes Bulgaria’s 30 Under 30 list mean to

you, and how does it influence your work going forward?

Being included on the list was a humbling and empowering moment. It’s a reminder

that all the hard work and dedication are paying off. Moving forward, it motivates me

to keep pushing boundaries and stay focused on my vision while remaining true to

my roots.

You’ve been experimenting with darker themes and alternative pop

recently. How would you describe your musical evolution over the past

few years?

Over the past few years, I’ve grown a lot as an artist and songwriter, which makes

me really excited to dive deeper into the writing process. I’ll probably always have

that darker element in my music, as it feels like the most authentic representation of

who I am, and I really love it.

With all the changes and new music you're releasing, what message do

you want your fans to take away from your music in 2025?

In 2025, I want my music to create a safe space where people can fully experience

the emotions conveyed through the lyrics, music, and singing. The message I want

to share is to embrace who you are, not be ashamed of your emotions, and let them

out - because keeping them inside only makes everything feel heavier.
