According to her 1017 Records profile, which remains active on the label’s website, Enchanting described her music style as “trap-n-blues.” She had previously spoken about evolving her sound, noting that she initially “sounded like a little baby” in the early days of her career.

“I had to get comfortable with my voice,” she shared. “Staying in the studio and constantly recording helped me find the style I can be good at.” She added that her music aimed to resonate with listeners, offering solace and connection through her lyrics.
