03Interview

Name, where are you from?
Rosie Matheson, Brighton via London.

Describe your style in three words?
Black, Smart, Comfortable.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals - O2 Forum, Kentish Town in 2017.

If you could work with any artist in history?
Frank Ocean. His words, his visuals and we both love boys.

Which Subcultures have influenced you?
Punk - I grew up listening to the Sex Pistols and The Clash. I was the kid at school with sex pistols shoelaces and pencil case. I’ve always been into anything that goes against the system.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Elvis Presley - so I could shoot his portrait. My favourite track of his is 'Hound Dog'.

Of all the places you’ve shown your work, which is your favourite?
For now - London. I had a Boys exhibition in July 2018 and it was so much fun. Exhibition turned into a party kinda vibe... However, the best is yet to come...

Your greatest hero or heroine in music?
Amy Winehouse.
