I Am Consciously Trying Not To Make

I Have A Deep Rooted Folk Sensibility That I Can't Get Away From Completely.

What A Woman Does Is Open Doors. And It Is Not A Question Of Locking Or Unlocking.

I Have Writing Songs On My Own For About Six Years.

I Didn't Really Know A Lot Of The History When I Was Younger. I Didn't Realize That The Harp Is Coded In Such A Specific Way In Musical Circles. It's Kind Of This Society Instrument Because Of Its History As A Young Woman's Parlor Instrument.

My Voice In Combination With The Harp - Which, By The Way, I Use Because I've Played It My Entire Life, Not To Make Some Statement About The Harp - Somehow Has ... Coloured People's Interpretations Of The Music And Projected An Idea Of Childlike Or Fairytale Quality Or Innocence. Which Sometimes Prevents People From Listening To The Songs The Way I Would Like Them To Be Listened To.
