A Conversation with Journey Montana

Last year I had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking with Journey about various topics as I got to know the young artist. During the interview we had a chance to touch on her upbringing in New York, young adulthood, and aspirations as an artist. As she swiftly progresses through her career, I learned the impact she has and wants to leave on her fans has grown into that of a young mogul.

I posed the question, what are some struggles young women face today? Her response was well thought out. She stated finding love within yourself is the biggest achievement you can give. A lot of women face a lot of daily obstacles from work, personal, and social life. She wants women to embrace their journey and understand that there’s plenty of women tackling these challenges and to be patient with yourself.

We tackled the topic of what advice she would give to women her age and younger, and she emphasized on being unapologetic with who you are. Speaking on her own obstacles growing up, dating, heart breaks, partying, and finding the steady balance of work and life can be challenging. It’s the beauty of the journey she emphasized that makes you versus breaking you. Her NYC upbringing with the gritty and on-the-go lifestyle made her push to strive for more.

Journey just released her music video “Rivals” of her newly released EP “Star- Girl”. When I asked her to explain the creative process, she replied, “I wanted to bring out the nitty-gritty streets of New York, but show even a princess can rise through anything.” The EP is a blend of pop and emotions, and tells a story of young women coming into oneselves. The EP is available on all streaming platforms.

We end the interview with where she sees herself in the next 5 years and the impact she wants to leave on her fans and career. The ambitious Star-Girl stated she wants to be a EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) winner and wants fans to understand she relates to everyday issues and to embrace their unapologetic side. As her career is blossoming she wants to grow and evolve with her talents in music and acting within the entertainment industry. This young talent has made a household name for herself and has a prosperous future ahead.
