Notably, she was 1 of 2 black recipients of Abbey Road Studio’s scholarship in Music Production and Audio Engineering.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘DO IT’, Mercy’s Cartel explains: “During the first lockdown I met and fell in love with another musician who I felt such a strong attraction and respect for because of his talent. So the hook in ‘DO IT’ is about me seeing him “work in the booth” and getting turned on. I’m using the song to entice him and show him all these unique quirks about me because I was feeling myself and I felt like we could be some type of power couple at the time!”
