I mean you hear amazing? 61 00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely absolutely so. And having a you know, a 62 00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:38,039 female fronted band is still it's weird. It's it's you. 63 00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:41,400 You would almost think it'd be it wouldn't even be 64 00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:43,599 a big deal at this point, right, But it seems 65 00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:46,719 like in the industry when you have a female fronted 66 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,599 metal band, it still kind of turns heads. People say, oh, 67 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,080 isn't that interesting, even though there's been many many female 68 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:55,319 fronted bands. But I mean, jen X, I'm curious how 69 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,520 how you feel about that And is that something that 70 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,919 you really kind of try to push to the fore 71 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:03,240 in terms of how the band is marketed and perceived 72 00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:06,080 or do you think about that part or is it 73 00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,199 just this is what it is, or how do you 74 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:08,759 approach that. 75 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: So I've been doing this a long time. Springfield, you know, 76 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,719 is probably not well known, but Branson is, oh yeah, 77 00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:21,840 well known. My parents were entertainers there for twenty years. 78 00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:22,599 I was a child. 79 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 7: Entertainer there growing up. Oh wow, professionally performing since I 80 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,120 was five. Okay, so classically because growing up there it's 81 00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:38,439 mostly country. I did a lot of country. But this 82 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,080 is this is me. This is the music that I love. 83 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,879 I remember screaming at the top of my lungs to 84 00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:46,879 Offspring when I was like nine years old. 85 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: Does genuinely love it? 86 00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:52,479 Speaker 7: But I didn't have that opportunity to express myself that 87 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,199 way growing up. Yeah, so this is this is me 88 00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:59,560 taking that opportunity. I stepped away from performing for about 89 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,800 twenty years. Oh wow, because I growng up with you know, 90 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,719 entertainer parents. It's just a different lifestyle and I just 91 00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:10,120 wanted something different from my kids. And so this is 92 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000 this is me coming back out in my own way, 93 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,240 authentically myself and. 94 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,959 Speaker 3: We are just having a blast. 95 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, absolutely. So, So for twenty years you didn't 96 00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:23,199 perform at all? 97 00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:25,759 Speaker 2: Is that correct? 98 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,639 Speaker 7: Some some a little bit, but not a lot, and 99 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,680 not a lot professionally. 100 00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: You know, I love karaoking. I do it all the time. 101 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,399 It's just my little extra outlet. 102 00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:38,319 Speaker 1: Sure yet, but was was it always kind of in 103 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:40,360 the back of your mind that you would get back 104 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,360 to it, or that you would be doing something like this, 105 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,800 or has this been kind of a kind of a 106 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,639 twist in your story that you didn't necessarily always think 107 00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:48,199 would happen. 108 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,519 Speaker 3: Oh, this is a huge twist. 109 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,879 Speaker 7: I was so nervous coming into this genre, I you know, 110 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,560 but everybody has just welcomed me with open arms, which 111 00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,839 which is always been great about. You know, metal heads 112 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,959 in general, I feel like they are like the most 113 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,079 accepting and so it's yeah, I am truly blessed with 114 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,319 this opportunity.

It's where we 280 00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:08,799 give each other the space to be ourselves individually creatively. 281 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 3: And then we come together and it works. 282 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 7: And so when it comes to some of the meetings 283 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,679 for the songs also, I think that it resonates differently 284 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,519 with each of us. 285 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 3: I was for something wicked. 286 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,799 Speaker 7: I have also had some mental health struggles throughout my life, 287 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,120 and I still struggle with PTSD. 288 00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: So I am having a PTSD episode sometimes. 289 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 7: That turns into like inner rage that I have to cage. 290 00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 3: At the song there, and. 291 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 7: So for me, that's the something wicked, and so this 292 00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:52,159 song particularly. 293 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 3: Is kind of coping for me. Yeah, that breakdown is 294 00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:57,960 so special. I just love it. 295 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: Anyways, No, I'm glad, I'm glad. 296 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad you explained that because something that comes up 297 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:05,799 on the show a lot is you know, we talk 298 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:13,200 about taking, taking trauma, taking PTSD, taking you know, anxiety, depression, 299 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,639 whatever it is, all these things that we deal with 300 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,120 from a mental health perspective. When you take something like 301 00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:21,240 that and you create something out of it, you know, 302 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:24,279 you're taking something that's negative, but you're creating art, So 303 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,360 you're creating something positive out of it that not only 304 00:14:27,559 --> 00:14:30,639 not only does that process help you to deal with it, 305 00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:33,960 but it potentially helps other people who also then hear 306 00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:36,559 the song or or look at the painting or whatever 307 00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:38,679 kind of art it is that you're creating, Right, if 308 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,320 other people can also get something out of it, then 309 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,720 you've not only you've not only helped yourself, but you've 310 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,279 helped others and you've done so with something that comes 311 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,120 from from pain and trauma. So I think that's I 312 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,200 think that's always a wonderful thing when you can do that. 313 00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:54,720 So I'm glad you explain that well. 314 00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 7: And art I think is the greatest form of self expression. Yes, 315 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,440 obviously is my favorite, but I also think that it's 316 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,840 the greatest form of self expression. And of course it's 317 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,639 something that all human beings relate to, and that's what 318 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,879 I do it for.
