"One reason we make art is because it is a part of your identity that you are sharing, and your identity is created by the things that happen to you every day."

She asked:

Paola Prestini: why do you create your music?

Naomi: to express your feelings

Branch: well, I do it to evoke some kind of a reaction in people...sometimes I want them to feel…

What song reminds you of a…

Happy New Year. So what do you want to do with your new year? My resolution is to actually do more. To do more of the things I think about doing, hope to do, or know that I need to do, and in good time. No more delaying. Time is precious.

How about you?
