I wasn't making music consciously when I was younger. I was a musician, but that has its own stigmas. Anywhere on the planet, it's one of the more undervalued positions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's more to being a musician than just making music.
Well, I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years. And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.
I'm not a girl who started getting into music and using my femininity to get attention. When I was getting into it, it was all pure skill.
Like most musicians, I'm good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what we've done in the past.
I come from a family rooted in the arts, so I think I naturally gravitated towards performing from an early age.
Music has become a bigger business, and with that there is more pressure to succeed; I think that it creates a negative pressure for being creative.
I started making music professionally when I was 14.
When I was a kid, there was so much talent outside of recorded music.
I've had the healthy and sobering experience of constantly working with music that is invariably better than any performance of it can be.
Music has always been a dominant force in my life. As a young kid, it was a way for me to escape everyday life.
