We had the pleasure of interviewing Donna Missal over Zoom video!

In the summer of 2022, Donna Missal was disoriented to find herself living out of her car and on friends’ couches in Los Angeles, questioning whether she could continue – financially and emotionally – to make music. In the past five years, she had collected tens of millions of streams across platforms, cultivated a passionate fan base for her heartfelt songwriting, played festivals from Bonnaroo to Bottle Rock, and toured with high-profile artists including Lewis Capaldi, CHVRCHES, and King Princess. Rolling Stone calls her music “stunning”, and Billboard has hailed her “drop kick of a vocal.” But still, Missal was struggling. Working through the pain, she found refuge in the creative process, digging deep into her beliefs about safety and satisfaction.

Missal had started out as a songwriter and backing artist, collaborating with artists like Tinashe, Sharon Van Etten, Macklemore, and Lee Fields, and landing a publishing contract in her early 20s. After what The Guardian called the “strident queer torch songs” of 2020s Lighter, Missal became a sought-out vocalist, tapped to contribute a cover of Cigarettes After Sex’s “Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby” for the Oscar-winning film Promising Young Woman. In the confines of the early pandemic, Missal dove into bedroom pop recordings, using her powerful voice in a quieter way to avoid disturbing her neighbors. She showcased this spare and sexy homespun electronica on 2022’s in the mirror, in the night EP, which was executive produced by Sega Bodega (FKA Twigs, Caroline Polachek).

Malia Civetz - End Of The Road

A FUN COVER/RE-IMAGINATION OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY NEW FOUND GLORY FEATURING THE AMAZING MAIYA SYKES ON VOCALS.

Head On Collision (SLOANE COVER)

Love it when you talk like that,
When you need something
Breathe your words down my back
Tattoo chills on my skin 
Love it when you talk like that
When you need something
You ain’t even have to ask
You could take it from me



Wrap your hands around my neck
Tell me I’m your favorite
Let me know that I belong to you
Light me like ya cigarette
Smoke it til there’s nothing left
Show me everything you want to do



It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

(Drop)

Feel your thoughts on my tongue
Taste your emotions
Take the life from my lungs
Drown in your ocean
Use me up until I’m numb
you have my devotion
Sacrifice for your love
I’m begging you just

Wrap your hands around my neck
Tell me I’m your favorite
Let me know that I belong to you
Light me like ya cigarette
Smoke it til there’s nothing left
Show me everything you want to do


It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

GOOD TO BE BAD

Broke Boy

Broke Boy (Stripped)

Did my own version of this beautiful Sasha Sloan song. Really connected with the lyrics and am constantly striving to make the most of each day while I am able to live and create.

SLOANE 'Smiling When I Die Cover'

​​We had the opportunity to interview Leon of Athens on Zoom with video!
​​
​​Please share while we are #togetherathome ​🏠​
​​
​​"London based indie-pop star Leon of Athens channels the flamboyant beauty of Sufjan Stevens and Francis & the Lights, alongside a similar widescreen pop sensibility as Lauv and MARINA, who he has both supported. His album Xenos (EMI/Universal) is a beautiful, thoughtful piece of work. It showcases just why he has become a big live draw across Europe and his rising profile in the USA where he has been confirmed to appear at SXSW, Okeechobee, Firefly Music Festival, Summerfest and Shaky Knees. The album follows the highly acclaimed release of his debut album Global, championed by the likes of The Guardian, NME, Q, New York Times and more. It is produced by David Kosten (Bat For Lashes, Everything Everything) and is informed lyrically by the refugee crisis, the rise of the far-right in Europe and the US, but also personal upheavals: fractured relationships, lost faith, youth, freedom, and death.” - Spotify 
​​
​​PRAISE FOR LEON OF ATHENS
​​“Brainy pop inspired by Bernardo Bertolucci, inflected with electronic, folk and other flavours” – The Guardian
​​“Leon of Athens has mastered the art of electronica-tickled, horn-smattered, melodic pop.” – NME
​​“The Greek god of indie-pop” – Wonderland
​​“In this place where tragedy was invented, the song was joyful and sadly cathartic.” – New York Times
