In today’s interview, we asked lolitslea to take on the A-Z challenge so we can find out all about her latest projects!
A song that made you want to make music?
Baby, You Amaze Me – Select Start
Best rider you have had?
Video games and alcohol! Though I’m excited for the day I can get real specific and they give me pickles and olives >:)
Craziest moment you’ve experienced in music?
When my favorite band followed me and the fact that they’re casual viewers of my content now. Crazy.
Deepest lyric one of your songs features?
“All my memories are gone, I’ve pawned them all off. I thought I’d be rich by now” – Exit Plan. Favorite lyrics & song theme I’ve written. Got a tattoo for it, and it’s not even out yet!
Easiest song you wrote?
Fell Into A Crapshoot And Called It Love. Releases with my album this October 2024. The ballads just pour out of me, man!
Favourite song in your set?
Swapping sets for the first time in a long time for this upcoming tour! It may change, but right now, I think it’s Call It A Fling because it’s sooo energetic and the crowd can easily sing along.
Guest you’d most like to feature on your record?
Mayday Parade, hands down.
Hardest thing about being a musician?
Money, having to represent your brand and business 24/7, never shutting off your brain because you’re an emotional individual with a dream.
Interesting fact about you?
I love craft beer.
Jokes you like to tell?
Sometimes I’m just stupid and we all get to laugh.
Key to writing a song?
Living
Longest distance you’ve travelled to play a show?
3,000 miles
Most inspiring musician you’ve experienced?
I’ve seen sooo many artists in my lifetime that have inspired me, but most recently, seeing Cassadee Pope perform live. She’s been a wonderful friend and mentor as I navigate the music industry as a woman and seeing her perform live is magical. I am for sure taking notes.
New band/artist you’d recommend?
Omg don’t make me choose one. Here’s a few I love and have on repeat: Smooth Brain, glimmers, Action/Adventure, Pine Creek Academy, senses.
Opening for this band/artist would be ideal?
Mayday Parade, Charlotte Sands, Meet Me @ The Altar, Games We Play, just to name a few!
Place you’d most like to tour?
Literally everywhere, but I’d love to make it to the UK one day!
Quote that you’d like to pass on to our readers?
Never give up!!
Reason for the title of your forthcoming release?
My album, Nothing Lasts Forever!, is ironic because my previous project is titled Happy Never Ending. Get it? Hah, I guess it does end…
See me live at?
ON TOUR THIS OCTOBER TIX ON MY WEBSITE LOLITSLEA.COM
The old days of music were better than the current, do you agree?
Hmmm. Yes and no. We can still listen to that old music we love and be inspired by it, but we are also getting much more access to new music and new artists. It’s endless. So much to discover. Though I think I speak for many artists when I say, I wish it was just about the music and the dream, like it was back then. Now, it’s so much more and it’s tough.
Unusual merchandise?
My friend Josh made a 3D printed keychain of their big toe for their fans. That’s pretty odd!
Variations you’d like to do on one of your songs?
I absolutely love making songs acoustic, they’re so fun to sing like that because I can really focus on my vocal control! Plus, it makes em a bit more emo.
What do your fans mean to you?
They’re my friends. Meeting new people who love the music I do and give my music a chance, that’s a real friend. I’m here to talk and chat any time and I hope that never changes. I’m very grateful.
X-rays or any treatments needed for performance-related injuries?
THANKFULLY NO… not yet at least!
You’re late for a show, whose fault is it?
I only have myself to blame
Zoo animal that best describes your personality?
I’m here to vibe and have a good time, maybe an alpaca or a hippo? You said zoo animal, otherwise I’d have a different answer LOL.
