Describe your band in three words.
Interesting, creative and serious. Fitting words for the ones that will make up my band. A mixture of musicians that I’ve worked with before, and new acquaintances that I really look forward to writing with.
Why did you decide to join the project?
Since I was offered to join the first Riot Girrrl Session, and unfortunately couldn’t attend, it felt like a must for me to join in this year. I also feel like it’s a very important project, so I have no hesitation when it comes to my decision to take part in it.
What does riot grrrl mean to you?
It means a lot, especially now that I have gotten a second chance to join. It’s really an honour, and I am so psyched for this!
