GAZELLES IN OUR MIDST
Q: Do you write your songs? What are some of your inspirations?
Iris: I mainly co-write with SongsByTitus. I love it because both of our
minds create such a vibe in music, and writing together makes songs so
much better.
My inspiration when I write music mainly consists of my inner thoughts
and feelings - things that I go through. I would call myself an emotive writer.
I write off of pure feelings because I personally have so much to say. I want
people to hear and connect with my story. That’s really important to me.
Q: Where do you perform locally?
Iris: I've performed at Ballpark Village, The Ready Room, and I also
love performing at local art shows and charity events.
Q: What is the ultimate dream that you are working toward?
Iris: I would love to win a Grammy Award one day, as well as break
stereotypes of what it means to be a music artist, break new records as an
independent artist, redefine what it means to release independently and
find success. I want to get endorsements that have never been heard of
from an independent artist. I could honestly go on for days about this. I feel
like the sky is the limit for me.
