Hiya EZRAE thanks for joining us in the virtual RGM lounge today, grab a brew and take a seat.
What made you decide that music is a thing for you?
I Hate doing everything else haha. I said to my mom when i was like 5 after watching Hannah Montana that i was gonna be like her one day and i stuck with it.
Introduce us you and your musical history?
Started playing piano when I was 6, then picked up every other instrument my primary school offered. I’m so so thankful that my parents let me do it all and didn’t force me down an academic route. They’ve always been my number 1 supporters.
Name me your 3 favorite Albums?
AAAARH I love these questions. My answers change all the time but at the moment it’s Grace by Jeff Buckley, Nevermind by Nirvana and Anti by Rihanna.
What was the first song you heard that steered you into a music path?
Sk8r Boy by Avril Lavigne!!! Also You’re Beautiful by James Blunt. There’s a video on youtube of me singing that infront of my TV at 2 years old.
The music industry is the hardest industry in the world to progress in, How do you feel you are doing?
I’m finding my feet at the minute. Took some time off releasing music to find my genre and now i’m back :0
Im seeing a lot of debate about women not feeling safe at music gigs, any thoughts on what we need to do to help?
Uhh don’t harass women maybe? Simple solution is leave us women alone and let us enjoy the gig <3
As you develop as an artist and develop using socials what ways do you get new ears on your music? Any tips?
I have loads of people tell me to use tiktok. It’s never worked for me 🙁
Tell us Two truths and a lie about you?
I found my stage name on Rap Name generator, I wrote most of my heartbreak songs before I even dated anyone, I have 11 toes.
Whats your thought on spotifys monopoly on the music industry?
Wish they’d pay more :’(
Did you buy anything you don’t need in the pandemic?
Some really bad expensive shampoo just because it came with stickers.
What was the worst experience on stage?
Having to sing a song about my ex boyfriend infront of my current boyfriend. I could tell he didn’t like me in those three minutes.
Tell us something about you that you think people would be surprised about?
I can do a really really good velociraptor impression.
What makes you stand out as a band/artist?
I love merging genres!! I can’t even name the genre that I write, I guess it’s like alternative electric pop rock??
I hear you have a new music, what can you tell us about it.
It’s given three people Nosebleeds after listening to it in the past week. I think that’s some weird voodoo shit I accidentally put in there.
Talk me through the thought process of the new tune/s.
Went to Jamie Sellers with no ideas for a song, he starts playing this really cool guitar riff and I’m looking through my notes for some ideas and I find this list I used to keep of guys I’ve kissed. Haha weird but I was 18. Next to this one guy I wrote that I had a nosebleed when i kissed him so then the rest of the song came together and it was finished in 6 hours.
What was the recording process like?
Very very quick, Jamie Sellers is a genius !
What was the biggest learning curve in writing the new tunes?
I’ve actually experienced heartbreak now! yay? I guess i can put more anger into my songs now.
Would you change anything now its finished?
No! I’ve been sat on it for over a year and i was very very ready to share it.
Is there anything else you would like to share with the world?
Keep a box of tissues next to you when you listen incase your nose starts bleeding too.
