The singer and producer archives_nia talks about performing on the Renaissance tour and getting the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' blessing for her latest single.
I definitely think the lyrics are something that stands out the most. Jungle is obviously a big genre, but your music is kind of distinct in how it hits emotionally.I’m from Bradford originally, but I lived in Manchester, and I live in London now.Yeah, I mean, I’m like half Jamaican, so I kind of grew up with sound system culture and always heard jungle carnival and stuff like that, but I didn’t know what the name was till I was in my teens, and I was like, oh, it’s got a name.
Yeah, I guess I feel like this is my dream. I’ve always wanted to do music, so I just feel really grateful that I get to do this. And obviously, things do move quite quickly and stuff. But I think that’s just part of the journey, and I think I deal with it quite well by having a separation of work mode and trying to have more of an offline mode kind of thing. And I think I’ve got some really amazing friends and a really great manager.
But it seems like you have a good attitude about it. It’s like you. You’re kind of above any feelings, or maybe not.Yeah I guess that’s an interesting idea because I think the appeal of your music kind of immediately is the emotional sensibility. And I always wonder this from artists who are good at writing sad songs. What happens once you’re happier?
Oh gosh, that’s so difficult. There’s so many amazing things. Even going to America, all that, I never left Europe before doing music.Yeah, I came in August there, and I’ve been to Australia, I guess traveling has been amazing. One of my favorite personal moments probably was winning a MOBO award. Just because it meant a lot to me at the time. It still does. But there’s just so many things that I’m so grateful for. It’s kind of hard to be that one thing.This happened literally in December.
It is kind of an interesting dynamic where on one hand, drum n’ bass is having this big resurgence, but then it seems like kids don’t really know where it’s from.
