M: Well, we have Alex Winston in the studio today. Hi, Alex.
W: Nice to see you.
M: How old are you?
W: I am 23, but for some reason everyone thinks I’m 19. I don’t know who started that rumor, but I’m 23.
M: I’ve seen on a lot of posts that you’re 19!
W: I mean, the thing is, most people would probably be excited about that, but I’m really okay with my age. I’m like... can you guys get it right? I’m 23. I never want to re-live those teenage years. I’m totally content being 23.
M: How did you start out performing?
W: Well, I feel like I’ve been doing it my entire life. I started taking music lessons and singing when I was about ten. I started bands at a pretty young age and played with my friends back in Detroit. I’ve always known that I wanted to do this. It was all I was ever interested in doing. I never had, outside of music, any extracurricular activities that I took part in.
M: Are... are you a classically-trained opera singer?
W: I guess. I took opera lessons. I can’t read music to save my life, but I would just copy and get away with it. I think that they thought I could read music, but I can’t. I would just listen. I did that for about ten years. I would listen to my teacher and the melodies. She would sing it It was really me just mimicking. That’s one of the reasons I decided I didn’t want to do that anymore. I felt that I really couldn’t be creative with opera You’re supposed to sound this way here. You’re supposed to crescendo here. You’re supposed to do that. I had no sense of identity while singing that kind of music.
M: Who and what are some of your influences?
W: Well, really all over the place. Detroit, definitely because of Motown and Stooges. When you come from a place like Detroit, you’re really proud of what you have there. I grew up listening to a lot of that stuff, but also early rock-and-roll like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis. I feel like as I grew older, I’ve been working with different musicians, people that are constantly showing me different things. One of my old bandmates was really into metal and ’80s rock, so I really got into that, too. I also love country, folk, and strong female voices, like Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey, and Kate Bush.
