"Yeah I've always been a gadget girl, but I'm putting it to the forefront this time; it's always enhanced what I've done, and I think it'll be a cool narrative on stage a sci-fi thing. I can't live without my electric violin and loop station: that's how I start all my songs. If I were to make a gadget, it would be basically that, all in one like a Midi violin. Midi pianos are so accessible and affordable [I'd invent] a Midi violin that can do the same thing."
"African Music: A People's Art by Francis Bebey. It's about the different string instruments in Africa and how they're played, and what tribes play them. And also, right now I keep going back to Stillness Speaks by Eckhart Tolle; it's light poetry about life, and it's really inspirational. And you don't need to read the whole book when you don't have a lot of time, you can just open up to any page."
Loves Papa John's pizza as a recurring comfort food, especially during periods and after photoshoots, despite access to gourmet options. Embraces a Gadget Girl persona and foregrounds gadgetry in performance, relying on an electric violin and loop station to start songs and imagining a unified Midi violin device. Regularly returns to Francis Bebey's African Music for knowledge about African string instruments and to Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Speaks for brief, inspirational readings. Sets a hotel-room vibe with lighting, candles, and arranged makeup, and prefers turning off the air conditioning. Maintains that pop culture is largely silly and insists on final say over artistic decisions.
