Fashion Girl Icons
I went to school for a short period of time to study fashion. I wanted to become a stylist or a designer. I made clothes when I was a teenager that I used to sell online. My label name was “Baby Jesus” – so incredibly stupid, but whatever, I was 17!

I think what we do is really, at times, a complicated thing. But at the end of the day it’s so important that we make art for people that need to escape reality for a second. That’s what music has always been for me. It’s been a way to tap out of what’s going on in my personal life.

Girly Sound Voice
I was looking at pictures of cats laying out on the beach and I thought, “Cats hate water, so why would they like the beach?” But then I realized that cats like to just lay around and lounge and be lazy, and what better place to do that than on the beach?

That, to me, is what I feel like is the future. If I have a daughter, if you have a daughter, becoming that ideal where it’s not about your gender; it’s about us being human, being in this together.
