TODAY. >>
TODAY. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> THE LAST TIME YOU WERE ON
THE SHOW, I WAS ABSOLUTELY
BLOWN AWAY, NOT JUST BY YOUR
AMAZING VOICE BUT ALSO BY THE
EMOTION BEHIND YOUR STRONG.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START
WRITING SONGS?
WRITING SONGS? IS THERE A CERTAIN MOOD OR
EMOTION THAT BOX YOUR CREATIVE
ENERGY?
ENERGY?
ENERGY? >> WELL, WHAT SPARKED, MY VERY
FIRST -- AND I DID NOT HAVE AN
OUTLET FOR THAT.
SO I CHANNELED ALL OF IT INTO
MY SONGS.
MY SONGS.
MY SONGS. AND I WROTE EVERY SINGLE DAY, I
WROTE A LINE IN A NOTEBOOK,
THAT IS ALL I HAD.
I JUST SPIT OUT WORDS ONTO A
PAGE, WHETHER THE MADE SENSE
ARE NOT.
ARE NOT.
ARE NOT. AND MOST OF MY SONGS CAME FROM
THAT WAY.
THAT WAY.
THAT WAY. AND IT WAS A REALLY HARD
PROCESS, RIDING THAT.
AND ACTUALLY RECORDED MY EP
WITH THE GUY THAT INSPIRED
LEMONS.
LEMONS.
LEMONS. SO THAT WHOLE THING, IT JUST
MEANS, LIKE, A WHOLE LOT.
A LOT OF EMOTION IN THERE.
REALLY, IT IS HARD FOR ME TO
TALK ABOUT WITHOUT GETTING
CHOKED UP.
CHOKED UP. >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND IT IS KIND OF
CRAZY THAT SOMETIMES THOSE
TYPES OF SITUATIONS, IT DOES
KIND OF BRING OUT THE BEST IN,
LIKE, A PAINFUL WAY.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. I TOTALLY GET THAT.
>> IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE THAT I
DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO GO
THROUGH AGAIN.
THROUGH AGAIN. BUT, LIKE, I'M SO GLAD THAT IT
HAPPENED AND ME AND JASON ARE
STILL REALLY, REALLY GOOD
FRIENDS AND THE WHOLE REPORTING
PROCESS WITH HIM WAS INCREDIBLE
AND JUST THAT WHOLE EXPERIENCE,
WRAPPED UP IN A BOW AND NOW, I
CAN LIKE, PUT IT AWAY AND WORK
ON SOME OTHER THINGS NOW.
AND, LIKE,, FELT REALLY GOOD.
IT WAS REALLY THERAPEUTIC.
>> THAT IS AWESOME.
SO AS A MUSICIAN, WHAT HAS BEEN
THE MOST CHALLENGING THING FOR
YOU DURING SOCIAL DISTANCING?
>> NOT PLAYING OUT.
NOT BEING ABLE TO GO PLAY OUT
OR SING MY FRIENDS TOGETHER,
LOCAL BANDS, LIKE, THAT IS
BEEN, LIKE, THE HARDEST PART.
I, LIKE, I LOVE BEING ON THE
STAGE.
STAGE.
STAGE. AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THAT,
AND, LIKE, SHARE MY MUSIC HAS
BEEN, LIKE, THE HARDEST THING.
AND BEING IN THIS ROOM BY
MYSELF WITH MY CAT THE WHOLE
THING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO
LIKE, IT IS JUST, IT IS REALLY
-- I NEED TO BE OUT.
>> I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO WITH ALL THAT, WHAT HAS BEEN
THE MOST REWARDING OR POSITIVE
THING?
THING?
THING? >>
THING? >> ALL OF THE TIME, THE WORLD
TO WRITE MUSIC.
I WILL AN ENTIRE EP DURING THE
WHOLE QUARANTINE THAT I
HOPEFULLY AM GOING TO BE
RELEASING BY THE END OF THE
SUMMER.
SUMMER.
SUMMER. AND WROTE THE WHOLE THING
DURING QUARANTINE, WITH ME AND
MY CAT IN THIS ROOM.
AND WE CAN PROBABLY HEARS THEM
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. BUT YEAH.
BUT YEAH.
BUT YEAH. THAT WAS THE BEST, LIKE, I JUST
HAD SO MUCH TIME TO WRITE WHEN
I WROTE "LEMONS", I WAS STILL
IN SCHOOL, I WAS LIKE ,
COMMUTING EVERYWHERE.
COMMUTING EVERYWHERE. I WAS NEVER HOME AND I SOMEHOW
MANAGED TO WRITE THAT, WHICH
I'M SUPER BLESSED FOR HAVING
ALL THAT FREE TIME TO JUST
CREATE.
CREATE.
CREATE. IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
>> THAT IS AWESOME.
AND SO MUCH HAPPENS BETWEEN THE
TIME WHEN YOU RELEASE MUSIC.
SO FROM THE TIME THAT YOU
RELEASED YOUR FIRST EP,
"LEMONS", TO YOUR UPCOMING EP,
LIKE, DO YOU FEEL LIKE IT IS A
CONTINUATION OF YOUR SOUND OR
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?
>> IS DEFINITELY A CONTINUATION
OF MY SOUND.
THESE SONGS ARE MORE ANGRY.
AND, LIKE, NOT ANGRY, BUT THEY
ARE NOT SUPER SAD.
THEY ARE MORE, LIKE, POSITIVE,
AND LIKE, TURNING ANGER OR
TURNING SADNESS INTO, LIKE,
ANGER AND, LIKE, MOVING FORWARD
AND, LIKE, BEING COMFORTABLE
WITH YOURSELF, BEING
COMFORTABLE WITH THE PEOPLE
AROUND YOU AND NOT HAVING TO
RELY ON A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER
OF.
OF.
OF. IT
OF. IT HAS ALL ABOUT, LIKE,
FIGHTING POWER WITHIN YOURSELF.
WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
THAN "LEMONS".
THAN "LEMONS". "LEMONS" IS VERY SAD.
>> AND WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE
UPCOMING EP?
UPCOMING EP? >> IT IS CALLED "SUCKER".
THAT IS A THROWBACK TO MY OLD
DAYS IN MY OLD BAND.
WHEN I WAS A DRUMMER, I ALWAYS
PLAYED THE DRUMS WITH A SUCKER
IN MY MOUTH.
AND DRUMMERS MAKE REALLY RUDE
FACES.
FACES.
FACES. AWKWARD PICTURES OF ME WITH A
FACTOR IN MY MOUTH.
I REALLY MISS THOSE DAYS
BECAUSE I WAS, LIKE, ALL ABOUT,
YES, GIRL POWER AND FINDING IT
WITHIN MYSELF.
WITHIN MYSELF. I, LIKE, PULLED THE FOR MY
PASSED.
PASSED.
PASSED. >> THAT IS AWESOME.
I UNDERSTAND THAT RIGHT NOW
YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING REALLY
COOL.
COOL.
COOL. YOU
COOL. YOU ARE ACTUALLY DONATING THE
MONEY YOU MAKE ON BANTAM SALES,
THAT RIGHT?
THAT RIGHT? >> YET, ALL OF MY MONEY I MAKE
OFF OF BAND CAMP THE NEXT
COUPLE MONTHS IS GOING 100% TO
THE BLACK LIVES MATTER
MOVEMENT.
MOVEMENT.
MOVEMENT. AND I'M DOING $10 COVER
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE GOING
STRAIGHT TOWARDS THOSE CAUSES
