A fundamental part of my music is anger. Even if it’s quiet anger, or pretty anger, or glittery anger… it’s still anger. I would not trade this in for anything; it’s at the core of my whole mission, and I’ll be honest: I very well might stop the mission if I ceased to be angry.... Continue Reading →
In the early 2000s, we female-type creatures with burgeoning sapphic feelings had t.A.T.u’s anthem “All the Things She Said” to swoon over on a famishing Friday night. Deep down, I am sure the skeptics among us fully suspected that the sensuous duo was all a product manufactured by dirty old men in a boardroom… but... Continue Reading →
I’ve probably mentioned before that as a little kid I used to make tapes of a pretend radio station called “K23: Greek music, relaxing hits, and information” (the station ID I delivered in an abrasively singsong tone).

Full disclosure: though at the start of this year I was doing everything I could to let folks know I was able and willing to perform live, I didn’t really expect it to happen anytime soon. I have no name recognition and did my best for the majority of my fifteen+ years in this town... Continue Reading →
*"In Internet aesthetics, liminal spaces are empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition..." wikpedia.org I recently changed the online description of my music in all the places to "liminal art pop". There's a risk to that. Arguably it's not a description you can "hear" (which places it... Continue Reading →
