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 sip on while they listen to your new music?
Thanks for having me, I’m excited to be on here! Ooh that’s a good first question. For me it’s either sparkling water… Or a crisp natural wine.
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
For sure! I just released my brand new EP called „METADRAMATIC“ on February 9, and it’s my second project featuring 3 new tracks including the lead single „Wanna Talk“, and I hope you like it!
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)
Okay since you mentioned it, dinosaurs. I just really wanna one day see what colour they actually are haha. I feel like we’ve had so many artist impressions and it’s usually earthy and leathery but what if they were actually so colourful?? That’d be sick.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Great question. Probably some designer streetwear I think. Not exactly Supreme though, I’m thinking those indie, lesser-known brands that make amazing things. I mean, they’re quite famous and not exactly streetwear haha but if Acne Studios did streetwear… Maybe that.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
Yes! The songs on „METADRAMATIC“ are all about relationships. Relationships between friends, with yourself, between lovers, or between one-sided lovers. Lyrically, it’s very introspective but not in a cave kind of way– more like reflections on how we think about relationships. And musically it’s somewhere between pop and electronic and R&B I think!
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I don’t know if this is a special talent… But I can juggle a football? As in, soccer ball.
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
Ooh okay! Number one… I first learned how to operate a tape recorder, then play the guitar, then sing, then songwrite, then produce. Number two is that I really enjoy fashion. Number three is the fact that I actually have more songs in the locker than people know. Number four? I really love NewJeans. And lastly… I make my own merch! I named my brand after my first EP, Emotional Sauna, and each drop is from the world of its related music release. You can find it all at emotionalsauna.com. 🙂
8. How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??
So when it came to the guitar, I had a guitar teacher for a while and then pretty much taught myself after that. For singing, to be honest I was just trying to copy John Mayer and Jamie Cullum, but then joined my high school choir. To write, once again it was a bad attempt at my version of John Mayer songs but I guess things worked out in the end, ha.
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
Wow this is a tough one. Maybe… Let’s go with no one asking me what my favourite brand of sparking water is. For me it’s either the classic San Pellegrino, or the fruit-flavoured ones by Trevi from Korea!
