1) Hey June thank you for sharing your new EP Libra with the world, it’s amazing. What could you tell us about it?
June: This project is so special to me, I was born and grew up in Lisbon Portugal and grew listening to the music genres we have in our culture Zouk, Kizomba always with a dream of making a project on those genres so it was certainly a dream come true making this project.
2) This EP is a real treat for listeners and your fans. What made you want to make this project and what direction were you going for ?
June: I just wanted to hit home, and when I say home I mean back home where I grew up Lisbon Portugal - they listen to my stuff in English and they love it but I feel like they can’t truly connect fully so I wanted to give them something they can connect and feel from the roots.
3) What do you hope listeners gain from listening to the EP and to you as an artist?
June: It was really about giving the people back home something to connect to and also bringing those vibes here to the UK making the UK more aware of these genres etc and pushing boundaries - something new.
4) You’ve had an impressive run so far with the release of your singles such as : Refem, Ele vs Ela, Fxre and Sxvage. How would you describe your growth as an artist ?
June: It’s been crazy I have changed my sound a lot since those singles for the better to allow more versatility more genres so there’s so much more on the way stay tuned

June: I’ve always been a big R&B lover - I'm a big Aaliyah fan, Erykah Badu, I'm a big J Cole fan I also love story telling music.
6) Finally, What’s coming up next from you. Could we look forward to more music videos, covers and any live shows coming up ?
