Thank You! I knew I wanted to be a musician, a singer, and performer ever since I can remember and have spent my entire life preparing and striving for that goal.  I am a rocker at heart so it only made sense to pursue the hard rock genre. All artists constantly evolve as I think I have with every step in my career, and will continue to do so. My parents started calling me Madame Mayhem years ago because whether I caused it or not, Mayhem seemed to follow me wherever I went, and then the name just stuck. So when it came time to choose a name, it made sense to use it.

Entertaining and theatrical Hard Rock, hard- hitting, high-energy music with pleasing melodies and real emotion.

On stage the outfits and makeup are exaggerated but I don't try to be a different person. I try to be true to myself with just a heightened and more extreme ' in your face' attitude and energy when performing.

I have a very eclectic taste in music, but I truly love Hard Rock and Metal. I am also a classically trained singer so melodies and harmonies are important to me as well.  My mother listened to Grunge music when I was a baby so that was some of my first music listening experiences. Then as I got older my taste got heavier.  It's hard to say what exactly inspires me at any given time, it's just a feeling of inspiration I get in the moment from whatever it may be.

I'm usually always doing something music related, it is my life, whether I'm creating, performing or working on the business side of things. But when I do have a chance to unwind I love spending time with my family, playing with the family dog, and going to do fun workouts like dance classes or kickboxing.

Yes! Those are the themes in the song and the video. I would tell fans to be themselves. Be proud of your individuality and don't think you need to hide being different just because you are afraid you won't fit in. Just be you, and it'll all work out.

It was more of an artistic choice for this music video. The coloring matches the hot pink and black spiked gloves I usually wear and we thought it would look really cool and add something a little different and interesting to the full band performance video.  If people haven't checked out the music video yet, I recommend going to our official YouTube page and watch!

Yes! We are super excited for this upcoming tour! There is a lot to do to prepare for a tour, both logistically and artistically. There is a lot of work to be done but it is always worth it and always so much fun to get out on the road and rock out with the crowds every night. The most important thing I do to prepare is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.  As for getting into the mindset of being on the road for a long period of time, I am lucky that my band and crew are super close and we all get along great! We all try to respect each other's space however small it may be, since we are in close quarters at all time on the road.

What happens on the road, stays on the road (haha). People should come out to the shows to witness any potential craziness for themselves, they will not be disappointed, it's always a good time.

That's a difficult question! There are so many bands I would LOVE to tour with and feel we would be a great fit to tour with. But for the sake of the question, three bands that would be my dream to tour with (living) would be Metallica, Breaking Benjamin (we got to open for them at SunFest 2017, but a full tour would be amazing), and Disturbed.

I feel I continue to grow as an artist and a songwriter through life and practice. I feel the songs I write have gotten more and more personal as I become more vulnerable in my lyrics. The sound is definitely continuing to be modern, hard hitting, hard rock music with melodies that bring out the emotion of each song.

As an artist, you are always trying to make your next work better than your last. I am really proud of  "Ready For Me". I think listeners are really going to enjoy the modern hard rock, high energy and melodic elements of all 13 songs. I feel this album has music that all music fans can enjoy. The new songs are very personal to me. The lyrics come from real life experiences I was dealing with at the time, and some topics I continue to struggle with today. I hope the listeners can relate to the new music and make it part of their own lives, as well as enjoy the music and sing along!

There are so many different ways to get music out there these days. Hitting the road and playing live shows definitely helps. Performing and singing on stage has always been my favorite thing to do so it's definitely my method of choice.

I think it's a mix of both. There is a lot of pressure to keep up with all forms of social media at all times in order to continue to keep fans engaged. The industry keeps an eye on those statistics, so it can be stressful. BUT at the same time I enjoy connecting with fans and fellow music lovers through our social media pages and through our email list which people can sign up/"subscribe" for free on at our website www.MadameMayhem.com.

Continuing to play live shows around the world and continuing to make music.

Thank YOU!
