A) X Ambassadors, Sia, 2Pac, Stevie Nicks, Live , No Doubt , Imagine Dragons

Q) Your new single “Xanax (A Love Song)” is out now. Where did the idea for it come from?

A) The song was written as a love s ng to yourself.  Growing up, I suffered from panic attacks and I had to find a way to make sense of all the madness.  I believe we all have a safe place inside ourselves if we’re willing to do the work and find it.  For me it was Xanax (when needed) and therapy.

A) It’s been overwhelmingly positive!

Q) How does the video for “Xanax (A Love Song)” fit with the message of the song?

A) The little girl represents the innocence and strength inside us all.  Sometimes we just need a little reminder that she’s still there.  No matter what we’re dealing with; addiction, depression, poverty, abuse, handicap we will overcome.

Q) What is your process like for writing music? Do you need the lyrics before the music?

A) It really depends on the song, but no matter what, I always start with a concept.  If you don’t have a good concept you have nothing.

Q) Who would you most like to collaborate with on a song in the future?

A) X Ambassadors, hands down.

Q) What can fans expect from a live Krysta Youngs performance?
