” After my band Y Kant Tori Read failed, I asked myself what kind of artist I wanted to be. After years of sending in demos and years of rejection, starting around age 14, I began to see I wasn’t going to get a record deal if I wrote what people wanted to hear. When a review called the album something like ‘bimbo music,’ I realized I didn’t have the power to make anyone listen to my music. However, I did have the power to make the music I wanted to listen to, regardless if anybody else chose to listen. That became my commitment. As a minister’s daughter, I knew how patriarchy worked and how shame operates. My quest was to read other myths and read Christianity as just another mystery, to detach from the charge that was so much a part of the writing process. Religion and belief and the power that our beliefs can have became a big part of my subject mater. You are what you believe.”
