1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?
Thanks for having me and GREAT question! I would absolutely say a Mezcal lime soda! Smokey but citrusy, it leaves a tang and an aftertaste of having smoked 20 cigarettes
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
Where do I start? 3 singles + 2 music videos are out now and the EP is coming out March 14! Off the back of the EP I’m doing an international tour with shows in London, Melbourne and Auckland. I’m SO excited to play these new songs live!
3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)
I LIVE for this hilarious spaghetti / pastafarian conspiracy. I once found a massive pile of spaghetti on top of a hill in Wellington, New Zealand. I posted it on a Facebook group and it went viral. I had so many interviews on radio, journalists reaching out and then YEARS later a documentary crew reached out to interview for their conspiracy TV show. Absolutely hilarious! Here’s a snippet
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
I am obsessed with YMC (You Must Create), but can never afford anything there (please sponsor me YMC)! It’s comfy, fresh and unique! I love it
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
Every song on the record has its own feeling or emotion. I really dug deep to access what I was feeling when creating each song and I feel like that comes across. I think in the EP (coming March 14), there’s almost a song for everyone depending on what they’re going through? I love creating worlds within each song and that’s something I’m so proud of.
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I recently joined a gay rugby team here in London! Not that I’m any good, but check in with me in a few years okay ahaha!
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
-
I try to make music that feels fresh and a different offering to pop
-
I spend so long in the studio perfecting every track! Every sound, every texture is with a lot of consideration
-
I’m a THAT snobby coffee friend
-
I recently started drag race after so long of depriving myself and I’m obsessed
-
I’m GOING ON TOUR! Come see us!! x
8. The road so far…. who or what was your biggest support??
My biggest support show so far was opening for We Three in Auckland! Had such a great time, their fans welcomed me with such open arms
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
FAVOURITE BOOK?
Just Kids by Patti Smith! I’ve read it a few times now and each time I do I gain such a different perspective on being an artist. It’s so raw and truthful, I have such respect for her!
