Q) How would you describe your sound?

 

A) Industrial, dark, sexual

 

Q) Who are some of your musical influences?

 

A) Trent Reznor, Bjork, Grimes, David Bowie… it changes a lot. I seek a lot of influences outside of music too, like books and art.

 

Q) Talk about the story behind your new song “No Blood Left to Bleed.”

 

A) As much as love can be beautiful, it can also be toxic.  Either way, it’s addictive.  You go through a debilitating cycle of love, then hate, then love again – over and over.  Each time you’re left a little emptier, until eventually there’s nothing left inside, there’s no blood left to bleed.  The artwork depicts this toxic cycle – it represents a photo owned by someone who loved, then hated and ripped it up, then loved again and tried to staple and put the image back together and then repeated the cycle over and over.

Q) What do you think it is about the song that fans connect to?

 

A) Whether it’s love, or life itself, I’m sure everyone can relate to feeling completely empty, like you have nothing left to give.

 

Q) For tracks that have singing, what is your song writing process? Do you need music before you can create lyrics?

 

A) I’ve only started using my voice in my music over the last year or so.  I usually write down odd thoughts or parts of a dream, and then concepts that I build into a song.  I usually have lyrics in my head before I have the song, but when I work with others, if the song resonates with me, I’ll write out a full vocal in less than an hour.  I have no idea what I’m actually doing with songwriting, I just hope for the best.

 

Q) Will there be a full album or EP coming in the near future?

 

A) I have a very exciting announcement. I’ve been wanting to move into bodies of work as opposed to singles for a while now. There’s a lot of exciting announcements to unfold this year.

 

Q) You’re also a powerhouse DJ. Where are some of your favorite places to perform and what makes those locations so significant to you?

 

A) I don’t have a favorite place to play. I think every different country and crowd is unique in their own way, and something that I love about touring is playing to different people, with different tastes, in different climates, with different cultures etc.

 

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

 

A) Trent Reznor, Alice Glass, Pussy Riot, HEALTH, Oliver Sykes…

 

Q) What album/band are you currently listening to and why do you dig them? 

 

A) Wargasm.  They’re hardcore / new age, and everything that I needed at this point in my life.

 

Q) You are a part of social media. Why is that such an important way for you to connect with your fans?

 

A) Social media is exhausting, but an essential part of being an artist, or any kind of brand.  I love to connect with my fans, and social media is of course the best way to do it.  I hate Instagram, I love Twitter – I mostly just post chaotic thoughts, and I’m starting to love TikTok where I can show my dark and mentally unstable side and I fit right in!

 

Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and your work?

 

A) Thank you for keeping me alive.
