Born in Australia, Felicity grew up bouncing between Indonesia, South Africa, and Colorado. She wrote her first song at just 15, and recorded it with studio time that her mom won at a local auction, launching her head first into the fraught world of the music industry. After years of stops and starts, several singles, and a few run ins with some shady characters, Felicity realized she needed to start over and really figure out how to use her songs as her mouthpiece. The result is this barnburner of a debut, as she takes on the music industry, and the men who have wronged her with equal fervor.
“I had bartended until three in the morning the night before and my eyes and soul were hanging out of my head. I was working seven days a week at two restaurants and an office to pay to finish my project and was burnt out in every way. I felt guilty for neglecting certain aspects of my life and those around me that cared for me, and at the time it just felt like there was too damn much going on. The song wrote itself and we practically had a finished demo the same day.”
“I wanted the music video to really reflect that spiraling emotion of feeling like it’s all too much. Getting back from a brutal shift and drinking wine on your couch in your undies, all the way to eating bread in the street. Sometimes life can be insane and drive you to insanity in the process. Like if girl dinner met a well-overdue breakdown. That was the vibe.”
