Fashion Indie Interview

Alex Kazemi: When did you decide you were going to become a musician? Was music always something you were interested in?

Me: I’ve been playing and writing since I was young, around 5, it has always been a love of mine.

Kazemi: What influences the lyrics on your album? Tell us about your song writing process.

Me: My songs come from all sorts of places. I usually find an idea or topic I want to write about and start there. I’m influenced by whatever catches my attention. It can be a stressful process, waiting for a good idea.

Kazemi: Who is your favorite designer?

Me: Chanel.

Kazemi: Would you ever design your own fashion line? If so, what kind of pieces would the line consist of?

Me: I’d love to, but I’d want to be able to give it a lot of attention. Probably lots of dresses, skirts, and shirts.

Kazemi: Do you have a favorite song on the record?

Me: They all are special in their own way.

Kazemi: What influences your personal style? It has been described as provocative. Do you agree?

Me: I’m not looking to be provocative, I just like certain looks on me. There are no real direct influences. I mix and match and try to come up with something that makes me feel good.

Kazemi: Do you have any intentions to have the record go mainstream?

Me: Not sure if that’s my choice, however, if I can get it out for people to hear it is good enough for me.

Kazemi: Do you think it’s going to be hard to make that transition from being an actress to a musician?

Me: It has its issues, but I really don’t focus on that, I’m really excited about being able to play every day.

Kazemi: What’s your favorite record of all time?

Me: All the Beatles records.

Kazemi: What is your honest opinion of yourself as a person?

Me: Not sure I have one. I’m just me, good or bad.

Kazemi: Does the style of Jenny from Gossip Girl reflect on your personal style?

Me: To some degree, sure.

Kazemi: You are always compared to Courtney Love and Hole? Does it bother you since you are more into Nirvana?

Me: They’re all great artists. I think we all want to be understood by people in some degree, but it doesn’t bother me.
