Burn Out

"Shouting is a way of reaching into the void and finding myself. It's more than an 'against-ness.' The first thing we do when we are born is shout, we scream. That's taken as a sign of life, and I think there's something there." — Debby Friday I could've chatted with Debby Friday all day. (She's a fellow Sag!) She's a producer, artist, writer, and student living in Vancouver, but originally from Montreal via Nigeria. When I encountered her strange and compelling 2018 EP Bitchpunk I was immediately intrigued by the defiance the music projected — a product of Debby's academic interest in the aesthetics of shouting. Earlier this year she posted about being two years sober, and it's had a major impact on her creativity. We talked about the philosophy behind her multi-disciplinary works, the collaborations behind her newest EP Death Drive, and how to challenge your inner narrative.
