I've always seen the songs as having a consciousness. Since I was two-and-a-half they would come to me from nowhere. I never thought that I was conjuring them by myself, and I was always grateful they would come and visit... They've always been very much alive. They don't have a physical body like we do but there seems to be an awareness.

I like involved projects.

If you sing to the mermaids, they come when you're drowning.

My parents think I'm better under pressure.

I found the secret to life: I'm ok when everything is not ok.

I'm a daughter of a minister and I love chasing the Dark. That which is hidden. I like licking it like ice cream

I think everyone understands grief, the journey it takes us on, whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a disappointment. Some people don't deal with it, the power of it. Some do. Some feel the weight of it and it informs their choices. I've had to open up to grief in different contexts.
