The word "theatrical" makes me cringe, because it suggests a performance is staged, put on, rehearsed. And while all this is true for an opera, I believe the act of singing and performing should always be honest, raw, guttural.

I try to create songs that are really massive and intense, but at the same time remaining honest and raw.

My music started as a way to break through weaknesses - like anxiety, which was completely taking over my whole life, where I could barely function.

I feel like I am alone when I am in the presence of those I love. It is so freeing and comfortable, you become one with them.

People don't really understand who I am. They always think that I'm very dark or depressed, but it couldn't be further from the truth!

When you fall in love, you become weak.

I feel like humans are a disease. It's a hard thing to communicate in a pop song. I mean, who wants to hear that?
