What’s it like being an Asian-American woman in the music industry? When you get down to it, the indie-pop scene is very white-centered in a lot of different ways. You know, it’s the game - the entertainment game. But I think a lot of musicians that are coming out now are really young. People have strong opinions either which way, like if I’m deserving or not deserving, what have you. Hana: It’s sort of like the art is a part of the artist, so my age influences my music. How do you think your age influences people’s perceptions of you in the music industry? Hana: It just seems like little hippies live there! And they make stained glass art! Sebastian: It’s like a middle of nowhere vibe where you can just chill out. It’s a nice, quaint, little place and there’s like … lots of ice cream. It’s not one of those big city glam towns. Hana: But it’s also one of those vacation destinations. That’s so interesting because you’re from LA … We learned a lot and saw most of America. We went on a cross-country tour with SALES for the month of September, and we’ve never been on tour before, so it was a good experience. Hana: Yeah, we opened for Soccer Mommy in March, and that was really fun. You’ve written your EP, How Many Times Have You Driven By, released it and have been touring with SALES and Soccer Mommy in the past year. I caught up with her and her bandmates Chris, Jair, and Sebastian before their show at UT to get their experiences in the industry thus far.
