MOLLYXO

 

Birmingham (UK)-based musician. Singer-songwriter, producer and performer. A lot comes to mind when you say 'female pop singer' and I hope to change the first things that springs into your head. My music comes directly from me. No one influences it more than my experiences as a young woman. A lot is expected of us and I'm hoping to give a voice to my generation of women by telling my stories, my friends stories and sometimes even strangers. The songs you'll hear from me are honest. Sometimes too honest...oops. They're stories of growing up in a school full of righteous men, growing up in clubs and chatting rubbish in the smoking area. Stories of experiencing things for the first time whether it's love or letting people down.

Music is my way to cope with and navigate the craziness that's all around us. I'm influenced by artists who refuse to conform, retain their artistic identity and establish their own voice; Debbie Harry, Annie Lennox, Lady Gaga, Joan Armatrading, Freddie Mercury, Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osborne, Tyler the Creator, Alexander McQueen and Basquiat. Fun Facts about Mollyxo: Can lick both my elbows, can recognise any Maroon 5 song from 2 seconds of playing, can sew and make clothes and is shockingly bad at most things that aren’t creative.
