03Interview

Name, where are you from?
I’m Pixey, from Liverpool.

Describe your style in three words?
Polos, stripes and platforms.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
It’s not a single gig, but Glastonbury festival has to be the best music experience I’ve ever been to. I think about Janelle Monáe’s set almost every day.

If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
It would be an all-female line up including Janis Joplin and Grimes.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
Would definitely say I’ve been influenced by elements of '60s mod revival and nostalgic '90s subculture.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
George Harrison. I would have so much to ask him about his writing process for the album 'All Things Must Pass', but also question him thoroughly about his style choices in the '80s.

Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
My favourite to go to and play was Sound Basement on Duke Street in Liverpool. I have so many good memories there. Unfortunately, the venue has closed, like too many others in the city this year.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Female producers and audio engineers are definitely the unsung heroines of the music industry. Without them, I wouldn’t have learned to write and produce on my own. A favourite of mine is Emily Lazar.
