In 2022, Felicia announced that she would be making her music focused more on Jesus.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Felicia described her journey as a Christian making secular music and illustrated her goal to bring the two aspects of her life together through her art. The music she's been making hasn't changed a bit, but rather, the mindset behind it has changed completely. She now aims not to just make music reflecting on past events in her life, but to convey that these events and experiences are given to her by God. Thus, Felicia's journey as a Christian making secular music started and has so far received praise from peers and the public. Felicia aims to follow the great commission by proving that our lives are only what they are because of Him through her incredibly unique music and art.
