Behind The Lens: IMV

---

How do you celebrate the start of a new season in your music career?

Honestly, I haven’t done any real celebrations yet. For me, it’s more about mentally preparing and breaking down the work ahead. I like to stay focused and map out my next moves instead of taking a pause to celebrate.

What inspired you to start making music?

I’ve always loved music and the image of an artist, but if I had to pinpoint the deepest inspiration—it’s my mother’s passing. That loss fuels me to make something of myself, doing what I love, and to ensure that her name and legacy are noticed.

How do you stay grounded in the fast-paced music industry?

I haven’t fully stepped into that world yet, but I believe the key to staying grounded is remembering how it all started and why I’m doing this. Staying true to my roots will always keep me levelheaded.

How do you balance your personal life with your music career?

I work as a barber during the day, and in my downtime, I’m either writing music or reviewing my work. When I’m home, I take a moment to unwind with my wife before diving back into music full steam. Thankfully, my job allows me to infuse music into my daily life, so I never feel too far from my craft.

What's the most challenging song you've ever written?

Any song for my mother is always the toughest. I’ve written several for her, and it’s hard because of how deep and personal it gets. On a genre level, club songs are probably my biggest challenge—I delve into many styles, but that one takes me out of my usual creative space.

How do you stay inspired during the long winter months?

I actually love winter—it’s a huge part of my creative process. Being from up north, snow and the cold are part of my world, and I dream of shooting raw music videos in the snow. The season itself fuels my inspiration, so it’s never a struggle for me.

What’s your dream collaboration with another artist?

For me, it’s not just about collaborating with one specific artist—it’s about creating something truly timeless and global. I’m already working on tracks with an artist from France, where I’m rapping in French, and that’s the type of collaboration I aim for—music that crosses borders and reaches corners of the world.

What's the story behind your latest song?

I haven’t been able to get into the studio as much this year, but my latest track, "Shivers", is a glimpse into how I envision my future. It’s a reflection of where I see myself going in music and life.

What’s one thing you wish to accomplish this year?

I want to grow my fanbase, create more music, and gain more recognition. That’s my focus right now.

How do you see your music evolving in the future, and where can people connect with you?

I see my music becoming bigger than I can even imagine. I want to be in the mix with top-tier artists, but more importantly, I want to connect with my fans on a deeper level than most artists do. You can find me on any viable platform—wherever the music reaches, I’ll be there.
