It’s Sevyn Streeter’s time. The singer-songwriter has penned hits for others and has been a part of two girl groups, but now, she’s standing on her own.

On her upcoming EP,  “Call Me Crazy, But…,” out December 3, Sevyn is exploring the motions of a relationship, covering her own experiences or those of close friends. “It talks abut the cycle of a relationship: the ups, the downs, the goods, the bad, the ugly, the fights, the makeups. If not they’re my own, they’re my friends. I call it ‘Taylor Swift-ing that Ho’ cause I write about what I do,” she jokes.

Sevyn caught up with Concrete Loop to talk about her recent performances, “It Won’t Stop”, what we can expect on her upcoming album and more!

Sevyn Streeter may not be a household name, but if you check the songwriting credits of the latest hits on the pop charts, you’re likely to find her name. The 27-year-old singer and songwriter has penned chart-topping tracks for Ariana Grande (“The Way”), Alicia Keys (“New Day”), Kelly Rowland (“Keep It Between Us”), and Chris Brown (“Yeah 3x”) while creating her own bangers like “I Like It” and her latest single “It Won’t Stop.”

The former RichGirl (where she was known as Se7ev) and former TG4 member (where she went as Ambee Streeter) has matured into a talented solo artist that offers a controlled, old-school R&B vibe to her varied projects. In an industry where original lyrics aren’t a prerequisite, Sevyn is a triple threat (Yup, she can dance, too). Complex sat down with the Atlantic Records artist to talk about the songs that changed her life, her writing career, and her debut studio album.

The Source Magazine sat down with Sevyn Streeter where she discussed co-writing Ariana Grande and Mac Miller’s smash “The Way,” working with Chris Brown and her debut solo album. 

Many people know Chris Brown’s new artist and breakout Atlantic Records signee Sevyn Streeter, as the singer who has such radio hits as “I Like It” and her newest single “It Won’t Stop.” But she has been a part of our iPods for much longer with writing credits on Alicia Keys’ “New Day,” Chris Brown’s “Fine China,” and most recently Ariana Grande and Mac Miller’s new single “The Way.” Her ability to write hits for so many artist seems to be magical. We caught up with the beautiful Sevyn Streeter to see exactly how she does it all and what she has in store for her debut album.

Sevyn, you are originally from Haines City, Florida. How does a Florida girl make it to the top of the charts?

Just a lot of late nights and early mornings, and a lot of perseverance. Honestly a lot of being deliriously tired, but you just keep going. But, the way that it actually happened, because I’ve been singing forever…I always say one door leads to another. And literally it was a journey from TG4 (Tomgirls Forever) to Sevyn Streeter signing to Atlantic because I’ve been in two girl groups. And I’ve been writing a lot. I started off writing for Chris Brown about four years ago and that just developed and turned into a whole other life of its own. And he’s been a blessing, Tina’s (manager Tina Davis) been a blessing, and we’re at Atlantic Records now and they’ve been a blessing, so it’s been quite a journey. The songwriting part has a lot to do with it….because I feel like it kind of started there with me working and writing with Chris.
