t.A.T.u, "Crying In H Mart", And "The L-Word" – We Sat Down With Three Queer Artists To Discuss Being LGBTQ+ In The Music Industry
Hey guys, thanks for your time today! Our first question is, when did you know you wanted to pursue a career in music? Lyndsey: I knew I wanted to do music pretty early on, but I felt discouraged from it.
I think everybody does. In middle school, I did concert band, jazz band, and guitar classes. During that time, the gears were turning, and then in high school I was like, "I want to do this, I'll find a way to do it."NoSo: I remember I submitted to this songwriting contest through Carnegie Hall.
I did it right before moving to L.A – a place I had a really hard time acclimating to. I soon found out I was one of the winners, and I had to go to South Africa with five other Americans.
My first time performing an original song was at that music festival with a band behind me. I just remember thinking afterwards, "I need this feeling again."ABISHA: I've known since I was young that I wanted to do music.
