There is no gender to my music. There's no male or female voice, no trite lyrics or poetry. It's much more abstract, so it lives with you longer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd refer to myself as a feminist. I don't think my music is overtly rooted in feminism. I'm a teenager, and 95 percent of my friends are boys, and that's just the way I've always been.
It's tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, 'Oh, look, another quirky girl.'
It's not my aim to be this, like, 'savior for females.' I just want to make good music.
I do want people to know that the songs that I wrote when I was with women were really about women. And the songs that I've written since have been fairly obvious about men.
People weren't even aware that I wrote my own songs. The media just promoted me as a female body. It's like I've had to prove that I'm an artist.
Music is a male-dominated field.
You don't really hear a female perspective on the radio, because so many of the songs are being written by men.
I think of my gender as a part of my complex humanity.
I view myself as a male artist.
I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.
