Interview with Precious – Cover Feature for DON’T BLAME CHAR
(DBC) Your music has a unique futuristic vibe, blending futuristic sounds with infectious grooves. What inspires you to push the boundaries of pop music, and how do you envision the genre evolving over the next few years?
(P) I’ve actually just started hearing “futuristic” as a way to describe my music more recently, and that feels like such an interesting and cool perception to me. What inspires me to push pop boundaries is honestly just a deep, lifelong obsession with all kinds of music. I've spent a significant portion of my time just listening, observing, breathing music in. Even though I make pop music, I’ve pulled inspiration from literally everything. When certain things in music move me, I’ll find a way to incorporate it into a song somehow.
I don’t think pop as a genre will change too drastically, since it still has to live within that sweet spot of being palatable. But I do hope the future opens up more space for bolder sonic choices and more diverse faces represented in the mainstream.
(DBC) You’ve been able to create a distinctive sound that resonates with so many listeners. How do you incorporate your personal experiences and identity as a Black artist into your music, and how does it shape your artistic vision?
(P) I pull a lot of my personal experiences into my music, but it really shows up through the artists who shaped me. I grew up on Destiny’s Child, glued to 106 & Park, and being up early to catch every iconic music video on MTV. From the beginning, I loved popular music, and especially the way the Black girls were doing it. Their artistry, their visuals, their sound, all stuck with me.
As a black girl, those influences carry so much weight. The way I sing, the way I layer harmonies, the riffs, even the beats I create, they all trace back to artists like Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Ashanti, The Cheetah Girls, and so many other pop princesses I listened to on repeat. My sound wouldn’t be what it is without them.
Pop music today feels more experimental than ever. How do you see technology, and new production techniques influencing the direction of pop music in the future, and how are you planning to incorporate these innovations into your own work?
(P) I think new technology will likely shape where pop music is headed, and I just hope it's in a direction that still keeps authenticity and humanness at the core. No matter how advanced things get, people are drawn to music because of how it makes them feel. If new tools can give aspiring artists with fewer resources a better shot at creating actual art, then that's a beautiful thing. As things evolve, I would want to welcome innovation for myself while staying grounded in the things that matter most to me artistically, which are emotion and genuine creativity.
(DBC) As a rising star, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in the and outside of the industry industry, and how do you navigate those obstacles while staying true to your artistic vision and staying authentic to your roots?
(P) In the industry, the biggest challenge I’ve faced has been protecting my creative vision and making sure I get to express myself exactly how I want to. Creating what I desire to create is what makes doing music something that makes me happy. Otherwise, there’s no point. I’ve grown into a space where, no matter what opportunities come my way, staying true to that vision has the highest importance.
Outside of the industry, it’s really just the balance that can be tough. When music isn’t your full-time career yet, you are also lending most of your time to everything you need to do to sustain yourself as a living person. It can feel overwhelming at times, managing that “other” life while making enough time to create things that are good, improve artistic skills, and put out content. But it’s also a normal part of life for me and most people who balance passions and survival. What keeps me grounded and motivated is the love I get from anyone who supports me, whether online or personally. That support reminds me why I’m doing so much and gives me even more confidence to trust my path as an artist.
(DBC) Where do you see yourself and your music in the next five years? Are there specific projects or collaborations you’re excited about exploring, and what’s your vision for the future of Black pop music as a whole?
(P) In five years, I see myself either touring or having already toured. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of, and honestly, it doesn’t feel too far off anymore. I also see myself becoming a solid name in pop/R&B production and songwriting, collaborating with amazing artists and helping shape the next wave of music. That kind of creative work really excites me. Right now, I’m in a season of making albums. I love the artistry and storytelling that comes with a full project. Albums give people a more complete picture of who I am, beyond just singles. I also want to collaborate with more choreographers and push myself creatively in terms of movement and visuals. Exploring dance in new ways feels like the next step.
For the future of Black pop music, I really feel like it’s about to have its big moment, with tons of Black artists gaining the momentum they deserve soon. I’m really hoping to see so many new ones breaking through with unexpected sounds and fresh perspectives. The space is definitely there in pop music, waiting to be taken up.
(DBC) Your song "Don't Hate the Girls" recently gained a lot of attention online, and it seems to have resonated with so many listeners. How does it feel to have that mini-viral moment, and what do you think about the power of social media in shaping an artist’s career today?
(P) It feels amazing, and is also something I didn’t really expect. For a while now, I’ve just been writing and producing music I love, brainstorming visuals I believe in, and sharing my art with whoever connects with it. So to see a wave of support and love come in, especially for something I genuinely worked hard on and was very intentional about planning, feels really validating and warm.
Social media plays such a powerful role in shaping artists’ careers today. I love that it gives artists more control over their own paths. Building a community of music supporters directly, without waiting for a co-sign, is something I think every artist should explore, and always encourage whenever I’m asked. A lot of my favorite new music comes from smaller artists promoting themselves on TikTok. Good music isn’t just coming from the names being pushed by labels, it’s everywhere, in every corner. You just have to listen.
