“My dad knows the ins and outs of the music industry, so he was a bit skeptical in terms of being too careful and trying to advise me around the work. He asked if I was very sure I wanted to do it because he knows how it could get especially being a female.“He was being very strict and keen on my every movement but later got into a comfortable seat after my songs were widely received with open arms,” said the singer.
