I try to go throughout my daily life just as if nothing has changed, but you don't have much anonymity anymore, which feels really good. People come up, and say hi and they enjoy your work.

I think the British audience might be more open-minded with some of my imagery and weird choices.

I'm a freak in the fondest way possible.

I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.

I started rejecting the proper way to sing and I started singing.

After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.

I need to be able to explain myself in context.
