Define your genre in five words or less:
Electronic, fun, experimental, colourful and eclectic.
What do you love about making music?
I love the freedom you have in creating music, it’s your own personal art where you can create something from absolutely nothing. To think about songwriting in this manner motivates me to keep creating.
What do you hate about the music industry?
There are people out there in it just solely to make lots of money and because of that, there is a lot of shit music in the world just for the sake of there being just ‘music’. Talent shows like Idol and so on pump all of this money into the artists and they have no stable, long-term career out of it. Quick fame is a cheat in the system and it really bugs me!
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
I just released my debut EP Crystallise, yay! It came out on October 12and it’s on iTunes and also in stores at JB Hi-Fi and indies.
When’s the gig and with who?
My EP launch is on Saturday November 3 at The Workers Club in Fitzroy with some sweet supports – Ill’s and Mulder.
So, someone is walking past as you are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?
“My god, she’s small!” (I get that a lot, ha!)
How long have you been gigging and writing?
I’ve been writing from about the age of seven or eight. I’d buy CD singles and write new lyrics over the top of the instrumentals. I then learnt piano and played/sang throughout primary school and picked up drums and guitar in highschool. I began gigging back in 2009 – my setup has changed a lot since then, so has my songwriting. Now, it’s just me solo with keyboards and samplers and it’s all electronic.
What’s your favourite song, and why?
Mirror Maru by Cashmere Cat. I heard it last night for the first time and the production on it is so damn clean, I love the rhythms you can hear in it. Highly recommend you check this guy from Norway out….incredible stuff.
Where would you like to be in five years?
I would like to be living in the UK and be working on my third or fourth album, collaborating with some big name artists.
