For over a decade, Avalon Emerson has shaped dancefloors through carefully constructed, emotionally charged DJ sets. In recent years, she has expanded that language into songwriting with her band project Avalon Emerson & the Charm, trading immediacy for introspection. With a second band album on the way, Anna Grubauer spoke to the artist about navigating life between club culture and the stage.
The singer and pianist Afra Kane does not want to be put into a box. In her new record "Could We Be Whole" she draws from her background in classical music and Nigerian gospel but breaks their boundaries to create something new. We spoke to the artist about what freedom means to her and embracing imperfections.
