Q: How much input do you have into the songs? Are they all yours?
They’re all mine. Okay, me and my producer Joel – I feel like I’m downplaying his role. All the lyrics and stuff are mine but we’ll come up with melodies and musical ideas and stuff together, then the beats will be both of us. It’s the production. We’ll have hour long fights over the snare patterns or something. And then someone from the label will listen and make a comment and we either take their advice onboard or not… [Laughs].
Q: Cool because I don’t really know how it all works. So you sign to a label, but do you sign everything away? I wasn’t sure if you were one of the products of a record label if you know what I mean? Like, just a singer. A pawn. Like, they found you and they were going to take you and make you into the next Florence Welsch or whatever.
They like what I’m doing, rather than what they could do for me, you know? That’s how it is. They’re so good, I love everyone there, they’re so good they let me do what I want. They’re not trying to screw me over or anything!
Q: That’s good because you hear–
You hear terrible record label stories about people having their lives ruined and stuff?
Getting that promo for the album release I see. It's like every other topic now
