Fen in 5 questions for The Cult Gateway

Creating ‘Make It’ was a journey of musical exploration, blending elements of soul, pop, and funk while embracing subtle R&B influences. This unique recipe was inspired by a rich tapestry of musical experiences. From my early pop-oriented work to a transformative encounter with my idol, Stevie

Wonder, during a tribute tour, my musical evolution took flight. COVID-19’s disruption provided a creative space to craft the album, which felt like a long-awaited dream. ‘Make It’ is a culmination of my musical passions and a testament to the diverse inspirations that have shaped my art.

Are you working on new music or maybe a new album?`

Absolutely, I’m always in the creative process, searching for new melodies and lyrical themes to explore. Inspiration can strike at any moment, and most of my songs actually come from dreams I’ve had at night. When an idea or a beautiful melody comes to me, I make sure to record it. During

dedicated writing periods, I delve into these recorded ideas and work on pre-production. Currently, I’m in the phase of accumulating these creative ideas, which I’ll sift through when the time is right to start thinking about the production of my next album. Right now, my primary focus is on the

promotion and activities related to my current album, ‘Hero’. So yes, a new album is always in the works, but for the time being, I’m putting my energy into ‘Hero’ and its journey

What would be your biggest dream for your career?

My ultimate dream for my career is to be recognized as a full-fledged artist. I want people to know my name not only as a performer but also as a composer and lyricist. I’d love to further explore songwriting for other artists, contributing to the music industry in a broader sense. Additionally, I

would be thrilled to embark on tours beyond our borders, sharing my music with audiences worldwide. Ultimately, my biggest dream is to leave a lasting mark on the music industry and continue evolving as an artist.
