I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly.

To do it nationally or internationally, you have to follow a few more rules.

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

My brother and I were meditating before we were 6 years old, having to stare at the wall and chant.

Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.

I'm beginning to think I have two years encountering sexism without really realising it.
