![]() The respect of a performer towards their audience makes for a great performance. A good performance is one where the performer appreciates those who came to see them for exactly who and what they are. I believe that all who come deserve the absolute best, and I will always try to give them that. Goodness, that’s a lot! I put a lot into my performances because people put a lot into coming to see me, and I appreciate this. You always seem to put a lot of effort into your live performances……What do you think makes a good live performance,what has been the best performance you have done to date and if you could play any venue and do anything for a live show what would you do and why? Emilie Autumn has a lot of love to give, and she tries very hard. How would you answer the question who is Emilie Autumn?ĮA: Emilie Autumn is someone who doesn’t like to talk about who she is, but would rather let people decide for themselves, based upon what they think of her contributions to the world. So will yours, if you choose to share it. And that means that my truth will resonate. And the humbling truth of us all is that we are not that very different from anyone else. People found me because I wrote about myself and I made music I knew how to make. Most musicians aren’t pretty (that whole “you have to be pretty to be famous” thing is bullshit – look around, how many celebrities in the music industry are truly beautiful/in great shape/etc.). If they don’t pay attention, it’s because you’re not interesting – no more, no less. Don’t whine about people not paying attention to you. My advice to musicians is to just shut up and do what you do. Whom is a musician supposed to get noticed by? A record label exec? An audience? Don’t try to get noticed. The beauty of never having been given a break is that I own everything I have. If I’d been given a break, I might feel that I don’t deserve, or perhaps haven’t entirely earned, any success I’ve achieved. How did you get your first break into music and what things did you do before that to get noticed?ĮA: I couldn’t rightly say that I’ve ever been given a break, which is, in fact, a very good thing. I answered it, and I chose “to be.” The defining moment of my life was the moment I decided to live. That said, my defining moment (which means merely that I like the way this sounds) is the moment I decided, “To be.” In Hamlet, Hamlet ponders “the question,” yet is too much a coward to answer it. A truly defining moment would likely be something one is not even remotely aware of. No one could ever state the defining moment of their life. What do you see as the defining moment in your life and how has that molded you into the person we see today?ĮA: The defining moment in my life…well, firstly, that is an absolutely artificial question, in that, anything I say will be because I like the way it sounds, nothing more. And that is more than many will ever be given, and, thus, I am more grateful than I can ever express. I was given a talent for music, and nothing else. My fondest memory was the realization that I was given something from birth, something I would work on, but didn’t have to work for. I wanted a career because I needed a career in order to transcend my existence. The first intention I can call my own was the intention that I would master the violin, and that, if i could manage it, it would take me out of my present space into another that would be, I thought, much better. My mother was the only hard-core feminist on Earth who was also violently against abortion, regardless of the reason, so I would have been born whether I was intended or not, which is only to say that I was not special. Can you tell us briefly about your childhood,what is your fondest childhood memory and when did you decide that a career in music is what you wanted to pursue?ĮA: I was the only child out of five who was intended to exist.
