Chapter 2: What is the significance of pop mothers in Rebecca's life?
I mean, I've been doing this for a long time. So there's been so many different iterations of like me thinking I know what I'm doing and, you know, either falling on my face or just getting my getting getting information and figuring this whole thing out. And the last like four years have been like a really steady process.
I feel like journey of figuring out how to like put what's in my head on a paper, um, with everything that I do. And I definitely think like this last, um, this current album that I'm putting out and, um, I'm in the process of releasing like feels like it couldn't have existed without literally everything that came before. Totally. And it's just exciting to see people really like get it. Yeah.
And respond to it. Absolutely. I know a lot of people see my name and they think one thing or they have expectations and I love to betray them. Right. Exactly. So it's been really, really exciting to see people like see what I've seen for a long time.
Absolutely. And you're, I would say, a gay icon. And I think I would love to know how your experience has been as far as being in the queer community yourself and then also. like having such a strong queer fan base. Like how has that been for you? How has that shown up in your art, in your music?
Yeah. I mean, like same thing. It's been such a long kind of journey of navigating it. And also the landscape of music has changed so much over the past like 13 years. Yeah. Whereas I think even like five years ago, I remember maybe it was a little bit long. I don't know. Whenever it was that I was like figuring out my sexuality, which was a little longer than five years ago.
But at the point where I was like starting to make gay stuff, I had a lot of people tell me like, I don't know if you want to make this a part of your brand or like pigeonhole yourself or anything. And now it feels like every artist is dying to be gay. Right.
like they wish and pray that they are gay because it's the year of being gay so I don't know I mean for me like I've always just lived my life like as a huge fan of the pop space as a queer person and I owe my life to gay people like even before I knew my world and my piece of being queer like I Gay people were always the people who rooted for me when everyone was like, I don't know about her.
They were like, she's fierce. Trust me. You guys are sleeping on her.
Trust me.

Chapter 3: How has Rebecca's music journey evolved over the years?
I try.
I try. Yeah, I love it. I mean, I've been working with this choreographer, Richie Jackson, who did Bad Romance and all the early Gaga stuff that... Um, he just like gets what I want to do and we work so well together and I live for that. But, um, DJ sets are so I am in, like, I'm not looking around. I, I watched that boiler room set and I was like, girl, have some fun. You look so serious.
um i'm not trying to be cool like i am literally just like where is everything what's happening i'm locked in um and so it can it just is so it's so different it's literally just me i walk up there i do my thing i go um and with like a live set like and also that's that's the difference with djing is i don't really plan my sets out like i plan my first song
and i might plan my last song and everything else i just kind of like throw a bunch of shit in there and i'm like let's see what i feel because i like to see what the room what the vibe is yeah okay period um and with a live show like it's you know we know what we're doing to the minute and the second yeah so it's just like a different kind of um adrenaline djing i get way more adrenaline i think beforehand because i'm like what the what is gonna happen out
there probably too because it's like you're a vibe curator at that point yes the energy is consistent on you yes right exactly whereas like my live show i'm like you come and you get it or you don't and that's not my problem take it or leave it yeah and dj it's like please like me is anyone unhappy it's like throwing a party yeah exactly you're hosting the party um i hope you're having a good time can someone let me know if you're not yeah honestly honestly
But yeah, it's different. But I like having both. And I was honestly scared to DJ, I think, for a long time on bigger stages because I was like, I am relinquishing a piece of control into technology. Which, again, with my show, I'm like, even if the whole system fails, I'll just be like, hello. Yeah, I can, like, make it up from there.
Whereas I think with with tech like CDJs, there's always something fucked up in there. Like, yeah, it's always weird happens. So it's, you know, it's fun.
I will ask too, when it comes to DJing, it's very male dominated field. Like how has it been navigating that as, as a woman and a queer woman on top of that?
It's weird. Yeah. It's weird. And then throw the fact that you're Rebecca Black on top of that. And it's a little bit weirder. Yeah. I mean, that's what was so interesting about Boiler Room is like, I did that knowing that, okay, either people are really going to have opinions on this or they're not going to care. And that's totally fine too.

Chapter 5: How does being a queer artist influence Rebecca's work?
um honestly a weird one for me because i really grew up listening to so much of his music and i you know i don't know if i would make the choice today but i was a huge michael jackson fan growing up oh it's huge okay my mom was like big and again did you have the michael jackson we game the dance one wait no oh some fan
Okay, actually, so I rescinded my fandom. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Did you have the glove? A bedazzled glove? Again, some fans. No fedora, no glove. Okay, so I was normal. I said I was a fan, not a fucking weirdo.
I like the beat, you know, like the music. I don't know why he came to my head as the only dead person I can think of other than David Bowie.
I'm like Audrey Hepburn I don't know what we would do I'm really being basic white girl right now so sorry I'm brain dead so were you a big fan girl when you were young oh huge what were you super into Lana
i was like apparently i was like leaking lana songs i don't know people love to like bring that up and i don't remember that at all but i guess so yeah um i was a i was a believer oh gee okay huge believer huge directioner oh love who's your fave this is this is the sort of so i yeah already
i get it though i get it though um but yeah things have things have grown but i i mean i feel like 2014 was like prime prime like fandom cultivating um i loved one direction too yeah who were you a fan of i was i was uh oh like just in general fangirl well both
Well, actually, the first thing the first group I truly remember being like a diehard fangirl when I was like nine or 10 was My Chemical Romance. And like that was my very first concert when I was 10. I saw them in Anaheim across the street from Disneyland. Oh, my God. Honda Center?
No.
No. Convention Center? Yeah. The Anaheim Convention Center. Yeah.
