Experience Music Group has worked with major names like Sony, Disney, and American Airlines — what have been some of the biggest lessons you’ve learned from operating across both the music and brand partnership worlds One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that the best partnerships happen when there’s genuine alignment between the artist’s …

Your track Enough For You feels very personal, what moment or experience pushed you to write it so openly? I’ve always been the kind of person who goes all or nothing with a relationship. I always told girls, right at the start of talking, that I’m not one to waste time and that I wanted …
