Questions:
What 3 things does anyone starting in your industry need to know?
I am new, but I think the most important thing is to love what you make
Another aspect to consider is to understand the field that you are in and the demands that it requires
Finally, I would also try and find the drive for what you do
What would you do differently if you were starting in your industry now?
Take my time to construct my sound and get a better understanding of my craft
Which people or books have had the most influence on your growth and why?
I have been influenced by MF Doom, rest in peace, a lot of my rhyme schemes stem from the intricate wordplay that he used to bring about. Kendrick Lamar has influenced the way that I flow. And lastly the biggest influence for me has been Tupac and that’s been my attitude for most of my life. He is and will always be the king of rap, and I want to be there too.
What would you say is the #1 key to success in your music career?
I would say your drive and your passion to get better at what you do every single day
Talk about the biggest failure you’ve had. What did you learn from it?
Regarding music, I would say it was my lyricism for a very long time. It was rudimentary and nothing I made connected with me and every song I made felt so off.
What has been your biggest success story and why do you think it was a success?
I would say putting out my first single which was imagination back in the day with all my friends. It might not have been commercially successful or significant, but it was extremely pivotal in my eyes.
What keeps you going when things get tough in the music industry?
My friends who produce with me help me with my drive. Every time that I feel that I am faltering in the way that I make music, they are always there to either hype me up when I am too low or humble me when my head is in the clouds.
What made you pursue being an artist full-time?
I am not an artist full time; however, I do spend most of my time working on music. I think I made the switch to concentrate on music to better my understanding of what it means to rap.
Would you sign to a label?
I would love to
What projects are you working on for the rest of 2022?
I am working on an album that really explores my roots.

SweetCandy! reveals the truth behind new release “ISOLATED DISPOSITION”
SweetCandy! latest release of “ISOLATED DISPOSITION,” a single that doesn’t just talk but also confesses, opens up a very open space. The song was written right after a fight, and it has a lot of emotional baggage that most artists would be too scared to show. SweetCandy! doesn’t give up, it pushes all the way in.
“ISOLATED DISPOSITION” is how isolating it feels to be alone and not understood. But instead of blaming others, the story looks inward and reveals a deeper truth, being alone can often be a choice. The song gets to the point, shutting down only makes the emotional distance between us and others bigger.
There isn’t any effort to make things better or hide the pain, SweetCandy! talks openly about how hard it is to want to be understood while also keeping things that would help people understand you. A lot of people who hear it will know right away that it doesn’t make sense.
“ISOLATED DISPOSITION” seems like a turning point in the end. It shows that people are ready to be more responsible, grow, and be honest with each other in the future. SweetCandy! makes it clear that being open about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s the way to be truly seen in a world where it can feel dangerous to do so.

Shweta Harve sings of love that stands strong like a Tree on “Have You Loved Like a Tree?”
Shweta Harve’s latest release, “Have You Loved Like a Tree?” gently prompts listeners to reflect on how we think about love today. She uses a tree as a metaphor to show that love is stable, patient, and unchanging, rather than short-lived or performative.
Harve takes listeners to a place where they can think about their own experiences and the emotional truths they share with others. At its most basic level, the song is about unconditional love, love that gives without expecting anything in return, protects without being seen, and is always there even when you don’t see it.
The lyrics say, “Just like a tree, I will never fold / I will only give, endure, and grow / I’ll hold you close, I’ll let you go,” which is the heart of the song. Harve paints love as something that endures through storms, distance, and silence, just as trees endure through changing seasons. That picture has a quiet power that stays with you long after the song is over.
