“Photography really is all about lines, and so is clothing. I worked for Oberto Gili for a couple of years after I was at ICP; we worked in fashion, travel, interior design, everything.

I love photography as a medium, so I think I will always take inspiration from it.” ThinkingInspirationChoicesFashionDesignCouplePhotographyInspired Author:Minnie Mortimer
“I feel like the inspiration is that I've managed to change my songwriting over the past couple of years and also production styles. I could get a sense of what really worked well, and I think this sound developed naturally. That's what happens when you're doing it all the time and changing as a person.

It was useful to have that to figure out exactly what I wanted to do.” ThinkingInspirationPastSongDarkStyleCoupleSongwritingPsychedelicOver The Past Author:Marika Hackman
