LEEPA – „here/hier“ + Exclusive Interview

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?

Uludag

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

i just released my newest single called „here/hier“ which is also my first bilingual single, which is very exciting for me since both English and German are an integral part of who I am as is my music! It, of course, also came with a music video which was just like the song an homage to my journey and my very beginnings in music. Furthermore I’m currently preparing for festival season which is also super exciting cuz I can’t wait to play the music I’ve been working on live since its something completely new.

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 hope that all my favorite rappers who have been taken way too soon are actually living it up in Cuba.

4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

I think the core is always gonna be very Hip Hop but depending on the phase I’m going through it gets mixed with the aesthetic I’m feeling/living in that moment, wether it be gorpcore, archive or super feminine and classy.

5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?

I write in a very autobrigraphic way so everything is something I’ve lived through and/or felt, but I think the stories aren’t even the most important part. It’s the emotions and I think we all feel the same emotions just for different reasons.

6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?

I have a plethora of different interests and I think that is my special talent, that I can really get into a lot of different things for example set design or hair and makeup (which is my fav). I do nails and O style all of my own visuals, but I could also give you an infinite amount of random facts about the most random topics.

7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!

– I don’t necessarily like being the center of attention but I do believe my music should be.
– I’ve been writing songs since I was 9 years old.
– When I sing or write is the only time I truly feel whole.
– I don’t know anything about music theory sadly.

– I’m a very sleepy girl.

8. How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??

I learned by ear and by just doing it. I found my moms old guitar in the attic when I was 7 and proceeded to violate that untuned guitar and my family for years until I started learning chords off the internet and started accompanying myself as I sang and just started writing little songs when I was 9 and never stopped.

9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls

Nobody ever asks how my cat (Ruby) is doing which O find rude given the fact he is the reason I haven’t fully derailed.

He’s doing great. He’s started to shed his winter coat so its almost summer. He’s also been hunting like crazy which has been a bit hard for my empath heart but he means well.
