Did you get any backlash from putting your foot down in the music industry and sticking up for your right?
Recently, I've been speaking out about songwriter rights because it's so wrong and because the general public has zero idea what really happens or how it works, and they don't even realise that songwriting is a career. Songwriters are the most unprotected and disrespected community in the entire music industry - especially for an industry based on songs.
That's really upsetting to hear! Now that you're an independent artist, do you feel like the process is much smoother than before? A hundred per cent, it is. It is a different journey. It is one that I'm in control of and one I can also make sure I do the right thing. Every writer that contributed to my project will get their points and will get their fair split. I get to at least do right by the people who have helped me create this work, and more so, it is just beautiful to be in control of what I release, what my visuals look like, what I want to say, what order I release them, what I'm doing.
