albums far musical single sounds types
As far as long-term goals, one of my favorite artists ever is Tegan and Sara, because every single one of their albums sounds different. Or Beck. I want to be like that because I come from so many different types of musical backgrounds.
almost alone far nina people
As far as influences, I listen to a lot of people like Nina Simone and other androgynous voices, almost to make me feel like I'm not alone.
I was always the tallest kid in my class.
people respect
I think as long as you wear your imperfections on your sleeve, people respect it more.
acoustic added fingers main mandolin music record riffs songs texture wrote
I wrote all my songs on my main instruments, and the songs I would record in my bedroom were just acoustic guitar, mandolin, and sometimes bass. I really like the texture the mandolin added to my music, but my fingers were too big to play it... I could only do little riffs and whatever.
music since
I was inspired to make music since I was 7 because my aunt is a songwriter.
naturally time
I wear menswear all the time. I don't do anything to make myself look more feminine. I naturally look and am more feminine.
felt fit
I always say I never felt 'latched' to a gender. I just kind of always felt like myself, and I never felt like I had to do certain things or be a certain way to fit into a certain mold.
amazing art create figure job mad people shakes though
I always find it amazing that people get mad because they can't figure out my gender. Even though my only job here is to create art, I think being a genderless figure... it shakes people. And when that happens, it makes me feel like I'm doing my job.
falsetto funny hear people sing
I always surprise myself with my voice. A lot of people don't get it, and they're like, 'You can't sing. Stop. What are you doing?' And it's funny to hear a lot people say I sing in falsetto because it's not falsetto - that's my voice.
move music release
My plan was to release a tape, move to Arkansas, live on a farm, and make music like Bon Iver.
prefer sounds stay
I prefer to stay in if I have a choice. I lose energy being around people. I know that sounds horrible.
If I were really being myself. I'd just curl up in the corner and knit.
action amazing bake boys cars easy figures grew mad mom peculiar people playing toy weird
I had always been a really peculiar child. My mom would tell you I grew up roughing it with the boys and playing with action figures and toy cars and stuff, but I also had an Easy Bake Oven... I find it amazing that in a really weird way, people are mad that they can't figure out my gender.
