Female energy is very comforting and beautiful.

My goal is to not fit in. My worst nightmare is being the baby version of another artist.

These days, it's more like me coming from playing a show and feeling the high from all the energies directed at me, to feeling a bit weird when I go home to the place where people know me from before all that.

I don't focus on happiness as a goal or an end.
