Where are you from and how was life growing up?Ā I’m from Harlem, NY. I grew up in a rough neighbor hood but it was still love out there. Growing up in Harlem definitely helped me build character, helped with my creativity and growing up here really made me want more out of life. I love where I’m from but i always had a vision that seen beyond it.
How did the artist name come to be? My name comes from the princess Cinderella. But i actually loved the story line of Cinderella how she went from rag to riches. i wanted that for me as a little girl thinking of the future me. i put Legendary in front of my name because thats what i aspire to be (Legendary).
Where does the inspiration come from for creating music? I always had love for music for as long as i could remember. All i would do is watch Music Choice videos of Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Aaliyah, Ciara, Cassie exc. i use to literally stand in front of the t.v. and sing word for word and copy their exact dance moves wishing i was them in the television. I also use to write songs when I was younger just playing around. Music was just in me naturally & I always felt in my heart i was meant to be a star.
What artists inspired you the most ? Beyonce and JLO definitely inspired the most i would say as a little girl but who really inspired me to start writing was Nicki Minaj !Ā
What kind of support do you get from your home town/state? In New York i have the biggest support ! There’s not one day that i’ve been outside and i don’t get stopped by a few supporter. My last video shoot for my single “Take Over” located at 42nd street i invited my fans to it the night before. I made one post and when i got there over 100 kids were there ready for my shoot. They had me signing autographs, people where crying, chasing me. It was so hectic the cops had to escort me out. I’m so appreciative of all my supporters and all the love i get daily in my city. My fans mean the world to me!
If you wasn’t making music, what would you be doing right now? I am music, Music is me. I don’t want to even think about what i’ll be doing if i wasn’t making music because i don’t know.Ā
What really makes you stand out and different from other artists? A lot of things make me stand because i’m me and I’m me 100% and through out my whole process nothing has or will change that. My work ethic is unmatched, my consistency unmatched, my visuals unmatched. i have the looks, the bars, the delivery, the attitude, the mindset. I’m just the whole package any label or manager would look for in an artist. Also i show love back to my supporters i speak to them, i have done cash give aways, i go to schools just to interact with my supporters, i be follow my fans back, exc.Ā
Tell us your craziest life story: My whole upcoming as an artist is a crazy story, ill do a big interview soon so you guys could know my up bringing and what i went through to get to where i am today.
What’s your biggest goal in the music industry? My Biggest goal is to be a MEGA SUPERSTAR, I want my music to be listened to all around the world! i want to win Grammys, earn plaques, i want to sell out shows and influence other young girls and boys to chase their dreams because anything is possible if you put in the work.
If you could collaborate with one single artist who would it be and why? There’s so many but Doja Cat. I love her sound, flow, energy and her personality seems really dope !
What advice would you give to inspiring music artists? When you start focus on you and perfecting your sound. Keep writing, be in the studio as much as you can.Ā Don’t beĀ afraid to play with your voice or to hop on different type of beats. Really just lock in. Study other huge artist, watch interviews see what they did to get to were they are. Put yourself out there, build good connections with all the right people, stay consistent and never give up. This industry isn’t easy but nothing it life is. if you really want it go for it with all of you and everything in you.
