Welcome back! How has 2021 been treating you?
Amazing. I've been in the best spaces of self/career and relationship. I can't complain.
How have you leveled up this year, as compared to 2020?
OH YES. BIG TIME. I'm doing this interview from my new 16 high ceilings loft apartment. Also, just mentally and spiritually I've been doing my thing. Staying focused on my purpose and growing in my personal life.
New levels bring new devils. What new challenges have you faced on this next step of your career?
Outsmarting the matrix. Staying out the way of myself.
“Bless a Bee.” goes hard in the speakers, plus gives us life! What type of vibes were you going for when creating the project?
I just wanted to create the sounds I heard in my head. I wanted to be reflective, but still give you the "Sev7en Taylor" essences. It was important for me to grow as an artist. An artist should always grow and adapt into new eras. This project will showcase the growth. I'm very much proud of this body of work.
Explain the meaning behind it’s title.
I got the title from the classic 90's movie "The Craft" it's like saying amen after a prayer. You want to seal the deal with things. Send that blessing off, etc. You know?
The EP has you releasing your first visual, “THROAT”. What was the creative inspiration behind it?
I got the privilege of working with the talented Vinichi Paul and we came together to create eye catching scenes in my new music video. I always wanted to do it right and not make up for it; he was perfect for it and he saw me in my fullness.
The video shoot lasted for two days and we got a lot of work done. Being on set was fun, exciting and an outer of body experience. I couldn't believe I was shooting my first music video. I truly love the bubble scenes (which we used a real bubble machine). I felt like I was in this other world creating and talking my shit.
Who needs to hear “Bless a Bee” the most?
Anyone that got a dream and fought for their voice to be heard. From the fun to reflective music; this EP is one of my favorites.
Success is subjective. What is your definition of making it?
Financial freedom and being able to create as I please. All soon to happen for me.
What’s the first thing you’re doing when you blow up?
Go to Paris for a few weeks. Reset myself then come back and get to WORK!
