I just wanted to shed everything and do the things I really wanted to do. All the things I was scared of, I just wanted to try. It was like a clearing.

I wanted to fight to get into the front. I was just hungry to do it.

I had been with a guy for seven years and I was done with that. I wanted to reinvent my whole life and change my hair - I'd had brown, straight extensions forever - and I just wanted to get rid of that, to shed skin, and really just be independent.

Sometimes words come easily and sometimes they don't. Most songs take me twenty minutes to write.

I think just being a '90s kid - I was not a Backstreet Boys girl, I was definitely into NSYNC.

Being able to connect with people with similar taste and style also allows people to get to know us better. Although we have been around for a little, some people listen to our music and some people don't listen to our music, so it's nice to be able to curate the sounds and show our influences. Although it's nice to go out and look fancy and dress up, you don't always go to parties where the music is a good so it's nice to be in a position to bring the vibes and create the experience.

I quit piano and violin because it felt too rigid. It was just my thing, something I fell in love with from a very early age.
