Fousheé was catapulted into stardom when a sample of the singer-songwriter’s song “Deep End” went viral on social media—unbeknownst to her. “My friend sent me this link, like, ‘Is this you?’ I woke up, and it was viral.” The New Jersey singer always had a passion for music, crediting her mom as one of her biggest inspirations and the person who introduced her to music early on.
Over the course of this film, Fousheé shares details of her journey, including a traumatic experience involving a drunk driver that changed her perspective on life and deepened her need to break into the industry. “It was like a reminder of how fast things can change and how precious life is, and how real the world is. It’s like you’re not going to be here forever.”
