I hate asking the internet if there are any punk in NZ I could play a show with because inevitably you get those dork asses talking in bad references, cred and calling me or others posers. Ah well. Still wanna sing songs in NZ, somewhere from Auckland to Whangarei.

Here is the list of gear I used on 'just happy to be here'. Only thing missing is the software amp/effects he used in layering guitars. I am an analog witch so I don't know squat about computers. I am all about the vintage and archaic. I am an alchemist. #synths #gear #vintagekeys

I am a #badmotherfucker . I am 38 and have been living, breathing and studying music since I was in grade school. I am a product of counter culture mentality. I am brown and refuse to compromise with this white bread emo landscape. My music is my life's work! I have earned my stripes, dog gone it!

Did you know I wanted gospel backup singers on my album? I just ran out of time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I am planning meandering towards writing the next one...depending on funds, could be a while.

A reminder I am an 100% independant trans woman of color with zero support on the back end of my music. What I DO have is one of the best rock albums of the last year and a bad ass stage presence 🤪.

I played drum machines of all kinds for a good 15 years or so. It really did my head in. Can't take highly repetitive anything anymore.
