A moment that I am never going to forget. Getting on stage and performing in front of 30,000 people was just crazy. SB: It was my first stadium performance, and again, it was surreal. MC: Speaking of surreal, you just got back from Milan where you opened for Beyoncé's Formation World Tour. It was my first tour ever and it was so cool to hear people responding in such a positive way to my music. Then I went on tour with Charlie Puth and it was amazing. In Nashville, L.A., and New York I really formulated my EP, which was released last March. I was so excited and then from there, I went to Nashville to write songs and really dig deep into what I wanted to say and what I wanted to sound like. Within a week, I got a call saying that she was willing to sign me as one of her first artists and develop me. She actually hand-delivered the package to Beyoncé while she was on tour. I sang a couple songs and ater that she asked me to put together a package for Beyoncé with a personal letter explaining why I wanted to be an artist and what music I wanted to create. I just thought 'I'm glad she's here and I hope she enjoys it.' I really just wanted advice at the time because I wanted to know how I could further grow as an artist.īut after that, Beyoncé's manager asked me to come into the office at Parkwood Entertainment, which was her label. I didn't think she came as an opportunity. I thought she was just there to listen to music. One night, Beyoncé's general manager came to one of my shows. SB: From there, I was playing gigs around NYC at The Bitter End and other open mic nights just trying to get myself out there.
