Morgan-Paige
Canadese interdisciplinaire pianiste (te horen op Backxwash-album HIS HAPPINESS SHALL COME FIRST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SUFFERING)
Morgan-Paige (CA) heet voluit Morgan-Paige Melbourne. Hoewel haar roots diepgeworteld zijn in klassieke muziek, twijfelde ze of haar toekomst daar lag: “It was hard to see myself as a classical pianist because there was nobody I could look up to who looked like me. Playing piano is my heart and soul, but there was so much discrimination. So, I started leaning toward pop music, because there were more people like me doing that.”
Naast haar liefde voor 90s r&b, hiphop en jazz, omarmt ze tevens heavy metal “because of the way they implement their minor and tonal structures”. Niet verwonderlijk dus dat deze interdisciplinaire artieste te horen was op het Backxwash-album HIS HAPPINESS SHALL COME FIRST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SUFFERING. Tot slot nog een mooi citaat: “To know her is to love her, and when her fingers touch the keys, pure magic enfolds.”
