I tend to focus less on genre as a starting point and more on idea or intention and let the idea dictate genre.

Despite the fact that I'm not highly skilled in any visual art, aesthetics have always played a strong role in my art, including my first albums.

I recently did a reading at an elementary school in Ottawa, and one of the children asked me if I was a girl. I said yes. Another child commented that I had a deep voice. I responded: "Can girls have deep voices?" There was a pause and then the group responded, "Yes!"

My art career often feels less like an art career and more like a career in educating, usually by using my body.

I always work with text orally in the writing process, saying passages aloud to measure flow.

My interest in language is steadfast, but I think each project and its accompanying intentions dictate how language must be used.

I have been and continue to be committed to art as a tool to ignite, comfort, and discomfort.
