![]() OTW: What influenced the songs that are on Manic Pixie Dream? I try to teach young women, I give them free classes on production. I don't think there are a lot of female producers out there. But I really like it and I take a lot of joy in being part of the production process. I get the bones down and send it to someone who really knows what they are doing. Lilac: I still co-produce a lot of my own stuff but I'm not super great at it. ![]() One of my passions is helping other people with music. I try to help out as many up-and-coming artists like myself, as I can. I've come a really long way since, and I'm really grateful for the opportunity. I was fortunate enough to get discovered by my current A&R when I was around 14, and he really helped me sober up and get my act together and put me in the studio with a lot of really talented producers and really forced me to take a hard look at myself and get my life together. And the way I worked with it was just through doing music so I was uploading stuff on Soundcloud every two weeks. I couldn't function in a school environment so I was half trying to get myself together. My anxiety just got completely out of control because I was bullied really badly in that school and then I was isolated because I was homeschooled after that. I basically went through this really dark place in my life where I started using all the time, and I got really bad in terms of my mental health. And I lost all my friends so my only friend was music. I got kicked out of that school, and I had gone to that school my whole life, so it was really painful for me. And with my busking money, I got Bluetooth headphones, and I would produce in class. And when I was 14, I hit high school and I was like, "Fuck this, I hate it," so I started like sneaking out on week nights when my parents would go to sleep. Then when I was 13, I started street performing trying to get discovered, so I would go around Union Square, and I got to know those areas really well. It was really fun, technology man… I feel like it was really accessible to me because of Garageband on my mom's Macbook. And when I was around twelve, I started producing all my own stuff. ![]() ![]() So I started writing songs around eight and learning how to play guitar and stuff. When I was eight, I was in a rock band with my friends and in one of those band programs. Lilac: It was great! It was really stupid.
