![]() To be honest with you, I do remember the day that I came up with it, but I’m not entirely sure how I did. How did you come up with the idea for doing these Vibe Checks? Spencer, currently sheltering in place in his off-campus apartment in Provo, Utah, spoke to Variety via Skype about how he developed the Vibe Check videos, and how TikTok helped him find an audience for his sense of humor. Suffice it to say, this is exactly the kind of ineffably delightful and original content TikTok was made for. I can’t wait till I also release my first EP, more bodies of work to share with everyone.HANG ON THIS IS AN ONGOING BIT? I. I will say, I love versatility so I made sure I don’t sound the same on every single song I create. I played the full track for my best friends during our girl’s night and we were dancing and getting hype, so that feels amazing. ![]() Can we expect more singles or an EP soon?Īnother single is coming soon! I’ve been making so many songs these past few months. The snippet I posted on TikTok is hands down my favourite song I’ve created and trust there’s a lot that comes close. What’s next for Aqyila? You previewed a snippet of a new song on TikTok. In sessions when I’m songwriting, I don’t mind pulling lyrics that producers/songwriters come up with, cause I feel like there’s always room for ideas. It’s a better feeling to help create a beat from scratch makes the song one of a kind. Working with producers has been the absolute best. My creative process is still the same I listen to a beat on loop, record some melodic gibberish over it, start jotting down words, and soon a song is in the works. Yes, songwriting is my favourite thing to do next to recording. Has your creative process changed now that you have access to studios, engineers, and more people to collaborate with? You’ve been writing since 10 years old and producing your own sounds in GarageBand. Loving who you are is important, there are no flaws in you. While writing, I kept in mind how I wanted people to feel inspired and confident in themselves. On December 24 I stayed up all night recording my full version to the beat. I re-sang my song using Vibe instead and then people insisted I write a full song. Thank you! After my original freestyle “Baby it’s the Bob for Me” went viral, I was asked by hundreds of people to make a version saying ‘vibe’ instead. What was your creative process and inspiration behind “Vibe for Me”? It’s such a fire track! After a while, I found myself daydreaming at the host stand about how my next step would be me doing something I love. We played hip-hop, R&B, Latin, and dancehall so work didn’t feel like actual work. I worked as a hostess/expo, I enjoyed it. After that, I worked at many different retail stores in the mall and eventually one of my best friends told me to apply at her workplace-which was a Mexican restaurant-because they were hiring. I know myself, I can’t and will not do something that is making me unhappy. That day, I told my mom what happened, and she supported my decision to not return. I guessed everything, handed it in and went to the bathroom to cry. My breaking point was when I entered one of my classes and didn’t even know there was a test that day. When we all came back, the curriculum was rushed and I felt like I was just falling behind. It was the time when college professors had gone on strike for a month. ![]() It was the second semester of the first year that threw me for a loop. I have a younger brother and I feel like that’s why I always go into protector mode when it comes to children and why I always want to be there to help them.The first semester of the program was awesome. I just thought Aqyila looked cooler, so I created that as my online presence name.īefore your music career, you were pursuing an education in Child & Youth Care, was music always your next step? To be honest, I created the spelling of my middle name. We caught up with Aqyila to vibe with her about the new music video and her past life working as hostess at a Mexican restaurant, daydreaming about making a career out of her passions.Īqyila is your middle name, is there any special meaning behind this being your artist name? The song itself has been streamed more than 7 million times on Spotify and now she’s dropping its video counterpart. Singer Lizzo even created a cover-which started a cute interaction between the two when Lizzo commented “Love u” under Aqyila’s duet of said cover. ![]() The video also amassed 4.5 million TikTok creates, including one by R&B singer, Monica.
