Interview with Demie Cao

from overachiever magazine

“As any Asian-American high school girl, I was a massive fan of Korean pop. It was the first time I’ve seen people of my ethnicity and who looked like me do popular music, so I have to say that K-pop was really the catalyst of my journey. Being older now, I just think my music is just a little more mature. I always liked the sentimental aspects of songwriting and my process has really shifted more towards being personal and introspective rather than just catchy tunes I guess. “
