In issue 122, we sat down with the singer-songwriter and got to know her pet peeves, favourite travelling destination and her love of musicals.
My biggest pet peeve is…When people say they don’t like pop music. It completely stomps on how innovative and fun the genre is by glossing over such a massive amount of music!
The best time of the year is…Fall in New York! I didn’t grow up with seasons in California, and I love stepping on crunchy orange leaves in a park nearby while a cold breeze hits my face.
I am obsessed with…Watching movies. They are such a great way to connect with people of all backgrounds, and they can teach us so much in the process.
If I could travel anywhere, it would be…Hong Kong. I grew up visiting HK to see my family, but I haven’t been able to formally go back in over a decade.
On days off you can find me…Lazing around in the park watching planes go by. Being in a park is the perfect middle ground between spending time alone while surrounded by loads of people.
My ideal summer day is spent…Wandering around an air-conditioned museum exhibit. Sunshine is great…in doses.
The best musician I’ve seen live is…Jungle. I went to a show they did last year in New York and had the absolute best time.
The first thing I do in the morning is…Make an iced coffee! I genuinely look forward to my iced maple latte so much that I sometimes have trouble sleeping the night before. I think I need to take a break from coffee.
Something I couldn’t live without is…Gum. I used to be a chronic nail-biter, and the one thing that’s helped me from stopping is always having a supply of gum in my purse.
I’ll never get tired of…Musicals! If you see me on the street, I’m probably listening to Hairspray.
