Currently Listening to: Paramore

hayley williams has been a huge inspiration to me in my career. i watch a lot of her live performances to see the way she interacts with the crowd, because that has never come naturally to me and i really admire her authenticity. she is an amazing songwriter and vocalist. paramore will always be my biggest inspiration. i love this cover they did of "someday" by the strokes. the song is an indie rock anthem that captures the angst and uncertainty of youth. it's a reflection on the bittersweet nature of growing up and the importance of making mature decisions to find true fulfillment in life. as a child life seems so carefree and full of endless possibilities but as we grow older, we realize that nothing stays the same forever. the way hayley sings the chorus and the line about lacking depth and needing to mature to find the meaning of life is so raw. the lyrics referencing the importance of working hard to avoid being stuck working hard for the rest of one's life. this cover is amazing.

Currently Listening to: No Doubt

Currently Listening to: No Doubt

as we kick off march, which is women's history month, i wanted to take the opportunity to shine a light on some of the incredible female artists and creatives who have paved the way for women in the music industry. and for me, there are few who have been as influential as no doubt and gwen stefani.

from the very first time i heard gwen's unique voice, i was hooked. her introspective lyrics and insane hooks spoke to me in a way that few other artists could. i was in awe of her ability to capture such raw emotion and vulnerability in her music, and to use her platform to speak out about important issues. her fearlessness and passion for her craft have inspired me to be true to myself and to create music that is honest and authentic.

above is one of my favorite performances from no doubt, their 1995 concert in anaheim, california for the live in the tragic kingdom video album. i used to study this performance!

as we celebrate women's history month, i want to encourage all of you to take some time to discover and appreciate the incredible female artists and creatives who have come before us, and who continue to inspire us to this day. whether it's gwen stefani, or any other female artist who has had an impact on your life, let's celebrate their contributions and keep their legacies alive.

you guys have been loving these little baby tees, so i just restocked the skull baby tee, which is one of my favorite designs from last year. it's edgy, stylish, and perfect for any occasion. you can dress it up or down, and it always looks great. plus, it's super comfortable to wear, so you'll never want to take it off!

i want to thank all of you for your support and for making SWIXXZ a success. it means the world to me to see so many of you wearing my designs and feeling confident and beautiful in them. i hope you'll love the skull baby tee as much as i do, and i can't wait to see how you'll style it.

Moving to a big city and feeling like you don’t belong is something that I’m all too familiar with. You feel out of place, left of center, and have a unique perspective on life that can’t be boxed in with the status quo.  Kailee sent me her music a few years ago, and seeing her navigate the music industry while staying true to who she is reminded me a lot of the struggles I went through. When Kailee’s album  “Girl Next Door” came out last week, it not only touched fans on a visceral level, but it touched me emotionally.  She embodies the good and bad - and everything in between,  letting her fans know that every phase is okay. Processing old and new traumas is okay, and sharing that with the world is a vulnerable trait few have. Kailee Morgue is punk, she's SWIXXZ, but most importantly, she's here to stay. Go stream her new album asap.

From the opening track "Bad Habits," I was drawn in by Zeph's powerful voice and raw emotion. Each song on the EP showcases her unique sound and lyrics that are relatable and honest. I particularly loved "Scared of Everything" and "Love & Loss," which both capture the ups and downs of young love in a way that feels authentic and genuine.

One of the things I appreciate about Zeph's music is that it feels real and raw. She is not afraid to lay it all out there and share her experiences and emotions through her music. As someone who is still figuring out who I am and what I want in life, I find her lyrics to be incredibly relatable and comforting.

I would highly recommend "Scared of Everything" to anyone looking for some new music to add to their playlist. Zeph's talent and authenticity shine through on every track, and I cannot wait to see what she does next.
