Combining contemporary 90’s R&B influences with tinges of punk/rock music, Pisceze is a dynamic force who has a unique way of encapsulating energies, vibes, and complex experiences in her music, and transmitting them to her listeners packaged in a beautiful blend of R&B and Pop.
In this interview spotlight, I chat with Pisceze about the latest single, adapting during lock downs, technology and more.
Full Q&A along with links and music below.
Where are you from and how do You describe your style of music?
I’m from Toronto, Canada. If you could put a style to my music, it would be MOTIONS. I make music based on people’s and my emotions. Everything I have made was from how I was feeling that day, or the emotion I was in.
How did you get here? As in, what inspired or motivated you to take on this journey through music and the music biz?
My dad and my team. Growing up I’ve always watched my dad playing instruments, singing and dancing. It’s weird because you know forgein parents always want you to grow up and be a doctor or a lawyer – but my dad would always just push me to do what makes sense to me as long as I’m happy and healthy in the end. My dad inspired me to make music and my team is what makes me keep going….
How does your latest project compare/contrast with your previous release(s)? Were you setting out to accomplish anything specific, follow a specific theme, or explore different styles of creation?
I don’t have a project of my own out just yet, but if we’re talking about my latest release compared to my last – yes I always put on a character every release. Like I said I really love exploring the emotion felt when making the song so I create a narrative and really show that aesthetically through me. My last release was Play It Back – the song was meant to take you back in time “making memories to play it back”, so the whole aesthetic of that was Y2K – I’d type lik3 thi$ during the whole rollout & it was so cool cause people started replying back to me like that. And then for Dodging Bullets – the song is about meeting the right person at the wrong time and the destruction of that – the aesthetic is very dark, punk, rebel like.
Name the biggest challenge you faced as a creative during these unprecedented? How did you adapt? How have you kept the creative fires burning during all this?
Honestly, I have fun with everything I do but I would say the pandemic did drive me a bit crazy… I’m a pisces. I love my peace and all… but I also need to drain out my social battery sometimes and connect with people’s energies once and a while to feel connected – I don’t really know how to explain it but yea…
What was the last song you listened to?
The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
Which do you prefer? Vinyl? 8-tracks? Cassettes? CDs? MP3s? Streaming platforms?
I’m sad that I haven’t got to really live in the era of vinyls, it’s crazy cause my dad has a whole collection of them. My favorite era was the limewire era where we would just download music and movies.
Where is the best place to connect with you and follow your journey?
I really appreciate Your time. Anything else before we sign off?
Go stream Dodging Bullets!!!!! <333333
