My earliest memories are just listening to vinyl records on my dad's Victrola speaker.

The Beatles, the Beach Boys, jazz, lots of jazz, like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald and even, you know, getting into like Nina Simone and yeah.

My dad, when he was younger, he helped build the radio station at his high school that is like still up and running today.

And he was a DJ on a radio station called Q101, which was like the alternative rock station in Chicago.

Yes.

So, but then that was like before I was ever born.

But his love of music and specifically like bands and stuff was kind of my in route to his heart.

So it was like a great way to, you know, bond with him.

And it's always been fun.

Yeah, a big component of me like getting in touch with my own masculine energy and my own inner father archetype and all that stuff.

I'm sure.

That's really silly.

I mean, of course, everyone's experience is totally different.

But I did...

Often find that, you know, going into a venue with my punk rock bands, they would say like, okay, everyone, here's your passes.

And like, are you the merch girl?

And I would be like, I'm the lead singer.

Thank you very much.

Yes.

Yeah.
