— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
One of my favorite movies is Besouro. I love it because it tells a powerful Brazilian story rooted in culture, resistance, and identity.

— An issue or cause you are passionate about:
I’m passionate about creating opportunities and visibility for people from underrepresented backgrounds, especially young people who have talent but lack access.

— If you were to choose a song that symbolizes this current phase of your life, what would it be and why?
I would choose a song by Bezerra da Silva, because his music speaks honestly about reality, resilience, and surviving with dignity despite adversity. His lyrics reflect strength, awareness, and pride in one’s roots. I would also choose “Catatau” by Jovelina Pérola Negra, as it represents confidence, authenticity, and a powerful presence. Both songs symbolize a phase of self-affirmation, courage, and staying true to who I am and where I come from.

— What’s a story your family/friends like to tell about you?
The first show I ever put together for the first song I released under my name, so no one really knew what to expect. I wanted it to be very assertive, like ‘this is what my vision of the music looks like.’ On Broadway and Grand St. in Soho. My friend Meg and I started off by djing Yma Sumac and 50s Avant Garde electronic. Joe Liao tap danced. Legend Kembra Pfahler gave a reading about censorship and Lea Jaffe started playing the pedal steel guitar. Even the unplanned moments seemed to work in our favor. I sang one song and the bass rattled the ceilings of the 70s Soho warehouse we were in – decades of dust (maybe asbestos?) was snowing onto me. It’s a moment I still get asked about.

— Share a bit about your background and upbringing.
I grew up on a farm in North Dakota about 10 miles out of town. My parents are farmers. Every spring my sisters and I would go out in the fields to “pick rocks” before the year’s planting would start. We went to the only school in the area and I graduated with 14 people in my class. Now, I understand how special it is to be raised in that way, and I’m grateful to be where I am now because of I understand both sides of the extremes.

— What are 3 interesting facts about you?
1. My first job was at this lovely thrift store called East Village Vintage Collective. They’re awesome and sell really amazing and affordable vintage. I used to get to listen to records and read vintage playboys in between customers coming in. It was the best first job ever I think.
2. I’m really into baking cakes. I recently made a denim themed cake that was pretty cute I think. It’s my favorite hobby and pastime. I have a baking account @lucycakes222 if you want to see any cakes.
3. I’m pretty good at Guitar Hero. I go through phases where I play all the time and can play very well on expert and sometimes I don’t play it for like a year. But I love my Wii, I will never throw it out.

— What’s a story your family/friends like to tell about you?
A few years ago I was really craving a donut, so I went to the Krispy Kreme on 23rd St. I walked in and everyone started clapping and I was super confused and had my headphones on. I had won the Krispy Kreme golden ticket and got free Krispy Kreme for a year. It was so random. I felt very lucky though and ate a lot of donuts that year.

People are always shocked when I tell them my college major. I have my bachelor’s in finance. I love numbers and I love to study!

— Tell us about your hometown.
My hometown is Las Vegas, Nevada. I love my city! The best parts of it include the energy, the diversity, the sunsets, and of course my favorite, the mountains! I absolutely love to hike and we have some really gorgeous ones. I think one of the worst parts is how hot it can get. I love the heat, but sometimes summer can be brutal. I also think it sometimes gets a bad rep, but there is so much to do and see outside of the strip.

— What’s one non-physical thing you’d like to change about yourself?
I’m a perfectionist and I have been my whole life. While there are many parts of this that have helped me excel in life, (work ethic, drive, attention to detail etc.), there are also ways it has held me back. I think if I could make myself less of a perfectionist I would. No matter how it seems, no one is perfect and there is beauty in imperfection, we are all human and it’s okay to make mistakes!

— The most interesting thing about your family:
Both my parents are novelists, nonfiction writers, and professors, so I have a love for writing and have been able to develop it further now that I’ve grown older. When I was younger, they would always come up with characters and a plot, and every night we would create a new chapter together as a bedtime story. Due to their professions, I’ve traveled the world and lived in Florence and Berlin. In Berlin, I was 4, and another kid started talking to me in German. I responded, “I don’t speak German yet, I just got here!”

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
I’ve spent every one of my summers in Maine at Nichols Camp from the ages of 4-13 and I’ve been a camp counselor for the past three summers. This past summer, I was promoted to the director level and had to lead people older than me. I had to plan things every day and look over campers who were close in age to me. There are a lot of kids who are there on scholarships who deal with hardships and they look forward to it every summer. We spend a lot of time marking trails for charity, kayaking, and painting and it’s overall an experience I look forward to it every summer.

— What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done?
There’s a bridge in Maine where kids jump into a tide pool, but only at the right moment in the tidal cycle. It took a couple of summers for me to have the confidence to jump. Wanting to keep up with the older kids, I finally went in just as the tide began to surge. Suddenly, I felt it pulling me under. I heard my mom yell, “You have to swim harder than you’ve ever swum in your life!” Somehow, I made it out, but I was proud of the fact that I gained the confidence to push myself to my limits.
