What was the process of creating your debut EP, Monsters?
It was a very secret process. Music is a space where I have complete freedom of expression, both creatively and emotionally. I had been writing for years but I wasn’t ready to share this private part of my life.
Have you found that learning to express through music is an integral part of the way you process the world?
In learning piano I didn’t just learn to play an instrument, I also learnt to appreciate all mediums of art. The coming together of these mediums and the beauty in their independence is what helps me understand and capture the external and internal world.
Your style is a beautiful hybrid of very different musical worlds. Is there a certain subject matter you’re attracted to?
I’m fascinated by psychology. I analyse the coping mechanisms we adopt and the workings of our inner psyche. My music also touches on mental health and I like to think that through music I can reach out to people and let them know that they’re not alone.
How do you generate and maintain atmosphere in a live setting?
I enjoy the creation and performance of the show. For me, choosing the set order is important to create continuity, and the aesthetics such as costume set the scene for the material. The coming together of these different parts is what makes a show.
