Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers, what kind of drink would you recommend to sip on while they listen to your new music?
My music is best enjoyed while sipping and savouring some Whiskey preferably out of an Emily Mac cocktail glass.
Please give us an update about the new single, new album, tour dates and new videos.
A lot is going on right now! I just released my debut EP “ROCK N ROLL ANIMAL” the featured single “Animal” has a very wild and fun music video which I’m super proud of. I’m promoting the album, organizing my release party and also working on some new material for the next album. Creatively things are buzzing!
We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which harmless theory would you wish were true? For example, dinosaurs living inside the Earth or E.T. living in a home in California.
Someone once told me that cats are superior beings from another planet and if that’s true I wanna hop on a rocket ship to go live on planet kitty!
What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
1970s over the top glam rock fashion: velvet jumpsuits, animal print, leather & lace, fishnets, spikes, bright red lips and sparkles basically anything that makes you feel like a rockstar!
Tell us more about your songs. Topics and message?
Rock music is therapy. All the songs on “ROCK N ROLL ANIMAL” came from difficult experiences in my life and I used the songwriting to get to the other side of it. Sometimes that meant breaking up with a toxic lover or friend, letting my apocalyptic fears out, getting back up after feeling buried under the weight of my problems or letting myself fantasize about who my dream lover would be while kicking to the curb the guy who left me empty and unfulfilled.
Besides music, do you have any special talents?
I’m also an Actor. Acting like music is just another form of storytelling which I love! I also enjoy baking and sometimes I like to spike what I’m baking with a little booze like Whiskey…
Name five things we should all know about you as an artist.
Before I could legally order a drink I was singing in bars and honing my craft in front of a live audience. Real life experience is the best teacher.
Sometimes I can see the aura of the music “visually” leaving my body. I know this sounds super tripped out but I think there’s magical mysterious things that can’t quite be fully explained about art.
I feel very confined by the societal norms of day to day life. I feel most myself when I’m on stage!
My favourite thing to do as a kid was play dress up and make believe. I feel like I’m still doing that to this day! Little kid me is proud!
I try to push the boundaries of what a Woman in Rock n Roll can do. It’s amazing how many judgements people like to throw at women and that makes me wanna rebel even more!
The road so far. Who or what has been your biggest support?
My family, friends, people who support women who rock both in person and online. There’s so much noise out there and as an indie musician it can be hard to get noticed. I’m really grateful to the people who love and support my music!
What is a question you’d like to answer but have never been asked in an interview before? Please include the question and your answer.
Question: If you had a time machine and could go back in time to see live music where would you go? Answer: To the 1970s! There are many decades of music I love but the 70s is the best!
