SLKWe got the chance to put some questions to SLK - an alt-soul singer/songwriter that's seen an extraordinary response to her two releases.
Find out what she had to say about music, inspirations and what to expect in the coming months.
How would you describe yourself as an artist?
A soul singer with crazy ideas and a love of all thingsalt.
What is it about the music industry that drew you in?
Being inspired by other artists finding themselves and taking the leap.
How best would you describe your music?
Someone used the phrase “noirnb” which is my fave so I steal that.
Who, where or what do you draw inspiration and influence from for your work?
This is an endless answer and I love my heroes too much to leave one out. Ultimately anyone who can write down what they feel and express it live, online or to the postman. All music has the potential to inspire me in some way.
You’re to release your EP later this year, what can you tell us about that?
The EP is a four track body of work with each track saying something different about me and my sound. Produced by the incredible embody.
What creative process do you go through when coming up with new material?
Words are my first stop... lyrics are very important to me they wake me up and bug me till I write them down. So a notepad, phone or an arm is essential. One word can trigger a whole track.
Where do you hope to be by this time next year?
Hopefully I shall be proudly finishing my album.
Are there any projects we should be on the look ou for, that you can share some details about?
All I can say is I am working my socks off right now for some great things. Look out for visuals and my EP launch first.
SLK is releasing her EP 'Form' on May 26 via Prism including tracks 'Be' and 'Ride'.
