I’ve got to fit in some piano practice before my lesson. I’ve been learning ‘Itsumo Nando Demo’ from Spirited Away.
What first sparked your interest in music, did you grow up in a musical household?
I come from a long line of people who sing to themselves but most likely my love for music stems from me obsessively watching cartoons and anime then learning the theme songs.
Who was your first ever favourite band or pop star?
Probably Destiny’s Child and Kelly Clarkson.
Yes, but don’t ask me to sing it for you, aha.
How did you progress from those early forays, to developing the Misoverse? What is it that draws you to experimenting with fiction?
Thematically in terms of the lyrics I’ve mostly been writing songs about patience and self preservation, but, for me the beats have to always be addictive and fun to listen to.

It was being written as ‘Great Taste’ EP was coming out so was a direct response to the reception of that project coming out.
How does your new single ’50/50’ fit into the EP?
I’ve been playing ‘50/50’ as part of my live set and it always gets such an incredible crowd response so it seems only fair I now release it!
What else are you currently working on?
My current focus is getting back to performing live and continuing to write new music. Diving deeper into the Misoverse!
What would you most like to achieve during your music career?
I would LOVE to write an anime theme song, or better yet voice a character!
What do you do for fun?
Aside from making music I’d have to say snacking and playing Switch.
Is there anything else we should know?
My favourite Tekken character is Alisa and favourite move of hers is: Spam Bomb (u/f+1+2). ■
