The New York music maker talks songwriting, early days and running a label.
Her Music Initially Sounded Like It Should Be in a Sci-Fi Movie
“When I first started writing music," she said, "I happened to get into a lot of sci-fi movies —- Barbarela, Zardoz and Blade Runner. I wanted to make music that sounded like it could be the soundtrack to one of those movies. But as time progressed, I don’t go for that specific aesthetic. And I think people still associate it with that. I don’t know. I just like music that feels nostalgic in a way.”
She Can Write Anywhere But Likes to Take Her Time If She Can
"I take my laptop and write songs wherever , on a plane," she admitted. "But when I'm in the city, I felt kind of rushed. The first three EPs I put out I wrote in Florida actually. And listening to that, it sounds a lot like my earlier stuff, maybe, because I had more time and didn't feel rushed."
