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

I've been singing since I was 5 years old and my kindergarten teacher first discovered I had vocal abilities

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

When you're doing something that you love, you always find the time to do it. It's not impossible to make the time at all.

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

This idea came about some of my dating experiences and it's just about how guys can kind of give you like their customer service rep act but then it's not really them so it's kind of how it came about.

What is one message you would give to your fans?

I would say to always keep it real and go for your dreams. Nothing's impossible if you work for it and you stay consistent.

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

I just don't see myself not doing music because I've always been doing it for years. It's something that will always be a part of my life.

How do you know when a work is finished?

When it gives me goosebumps just knowing like that it's just exactly how I want the messages in my songs to be portrayed to the public.

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

One of my best performances was just so memorable because every dance step and every note just came out perfectly at ease and when it goes smoothly like that it was so fulfilling, because all the practice paid off.

Do you have a mentor or coach?

My mentor is God. He's the creator of why I'm able to sing.

Who is your favourite musician?

I really don't have a favorite, there's just so many talented artists in the world. But if I can name a few. I really like Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson, but my list is endless.

What are your plans for the future?

My plans for the future are to continue to make music out for the public and spread messages with my songs there is endless opportunities.
