WHO ELSE IS IN THE BAND? WHAT INSTRUMENTS DO YOU PLAY AND WHAT DO THEY PLAY?
My band consists of friends and family. Cosmo Rossi is my guitar player as well as the producer and engineer of my sound. Eve Newbould is my little sister and bass player. Chris Chamberlin is my drummer. I have a couple songs produced by my friend Cormac Liotta as well. I am the singer and songwriter. I love my band so much, none of this would be possible without them.
WHAT IS IT LIKE COLLABORATING WITH YOUR BANDMATES?
Cosmo is my primary collaborator when it comes to making music. We have been friends and creative partners for years and I think we get along best when we are in the studio doing the damn thing. He has such a great ear and is never afraid of pushing me to get the right take when recording vocals. Collaboration comes naturally between us because we are also in another band CD-ROMANCE together so we know what each other’s strong suits are. When we aren’t in the studio, we send each other songs that we think are sick and are always plotting on our next project. I admire his skill and ambition.
WHAT THEMES ARE YOU MOST INTERESTED IN EXPLORING IN YOUR MUSIC?
I aim to capture that frenzied sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly feeling of being a young woman. Some of my songs are about sex and love and yearning, but also loss and rejection. They overlap more than I think people like to admit, which is why my album Hothead is meant to feel like a journey into the manic-adjacent feeling of being in love.
