Kamil) Hey Aly Berry, super nice to have the chance to chat with you. What first got you into music?

Music is my escape, I wrote songs since I was younger to cope and express my deepest emotions. I guess I’m what you’d call an over thinker.

How do you balance your time in the studio with other commitments such as a part-time job, family, admin?

Honestly it’s very time consuming as I still have to work full time to pay my bills, but I always find the way to work on music as it’s what I want in life.

Your latest song is 'Wrapped in Black'. Can you tell us more about the making of it and if there were any unusual things happening during the process?

Ah I wrote the song when I was working at a bar in pieces of papers, I write everywhere.

What is one message you would give to your fans?

Stay original.

What would you be doing right now, if it wasn’t for your music career?

Probably working in mental health- some job surrounding that.

How do you know when a work is finished?

I’ll just know. You can feel it.

Can you write what was your best performance in your career? How do you remember it?

When I let go and stop overthinking I perform the best.

Do you have a mentor or coach?

My manager Craig is pretty much my life coach as well as managing my career haha.

Who is your favourite musician?

Amy winehouse will always be my hero & am also a huge fan of BANKS and lil peep- all different genres but all hit my emotions hard.

What are your plans for the future?

Music music music and music. I’ll make it ..I won’t stop until I have.
