Who are you and what do you do?
Answer:

Apart from being the final incarnation of the Goddess, in my human meatsack I am an intersex independent songwriter musician and producer. Self published so always broke and yet still refuses to sell out to corporate leaches. Music is art, songwriting is art. lyrics have a soul. Every song has it's own life my little brain babies. I create electronic music with synthesisers using my voice straight from my mind through my mic. This ain't ai kids it's a full creative process, every note crafted. When we eventually tour we will have the whole band playing the instrumentals rather than a dj style performance.

How does your background play into this song?
Answer:

social justice and balance is the cornerstone of existence, I know history, I am educated. This world is falling apart by repeating the mistakes of the past, children are suffering andf genocide is the sad norm.
