Exclusive Interview: Rising Artist Bxndzszn

Hello Bxndzszn, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your career.

Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?

For starters, music has always been a part of my life but I really fell into creating music based on it being my way of expressing myself due to me being an introvert .

If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?

If I could describe my sound/style in one word it would be evolutionarily because as I age so will everything else.

What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?

I would tell  them to keep going no matter what and if that’s what they really want it is possible!

What quote or mantra do you live by?

“Get rich or die trying” and “with age comes wisdom”

What is your hobby outside of music?

Outside of music I really just like to enjoy life. My hobby outside of music would probably be me just staying positive and staying productive whether that’s playing the game or seeing the world.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?

Lol I’m consistent so there will always be. But I plan on getting more music and content out!

What is the inspiration behind your latest song?

The inspiration behind my latest song “destiny “ is in alignment with my life and how it’s not all positive

What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why. Please share a story or example for each.

Honestly this is a question that I can’t really answer because although there are things that I wish I was told… the fact that I did it for myself makes it more worth it, in my opinion of course!

Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?

I’d recommend to them that breaks are very much needed and that mental health is very important.

“Duplicity” by Freya Magee debuts a stunningly introspective anthem with split honesty

Freya Magee

With origins spanning from Northern Ireland to Melbourne, singer-songwriter Freya Magee, now based in London, is sure to emerge as a prominent music artist in the indie folk scene with her debut single, “Duplicity.” She asserts herself in the limelight with a charming voice that’s both featherlight and resolutely bold. Her debut single serves as a nuanced exploration of spoken storm, characterized by an emotionally charged and elegantly restrained vocal delivery that is achingly relatable.

Duplicity” elicits the feeling of a whispered confession cloaked in darkness, evoking an intimate, cinematic quality that is both urgent and contemplative. Magee’s vocal performance strikes an effective equilibrium between fragility and assertiveness, navigating a melancholic soundscape that producer Phil Taylor meticulously crafted at Laurel Sound Studios. The composition’s understated brilliance lies in its capacity to invite listeners to engage closely, as though they are privy to a private inner dialogue.

Lyrically, Magee explores the complexities of identity conflict with poetic precision, articulating the ache of aspiring to be everything, everywhere, encompassing various facets of existence simultaneously. One moment, she sounds sure of herself, projecting confidence; the next, she reveals a gentle struggle with indecision and uncertainty. The notable line, “dark on the left…, blonde on the right,” is more than clever imagery; it’s a visual metaphor for the emotional dichotomy she sings about. This duality is visually represented in the single’s cover art, aligning aesthetic and thematic elements into a cohesive portrait of self-contradiction.

The most noteworthy aspect of “Duplicity” is its authenticity. There is no posturing here, just a young artist sitting with her contradictions, thereby encouraging audiences to do the same. For enthusiasts who appreciate the introspective intimacy found within the works of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams, Laura Marling, or the early compositions of Joni Mitchell, Magee’s sound seamlessly fits right into the lineage of musicians who find strength in vulnerability.

As a debut offering, “Duplicity” exudes a sense of quiet triumph, providing a compelling introduction to an emerging talent poised to share a sonic chronicle of beautiful contradictions in her forthcoming debut EP. If this represents Freya Magee’s initial foray into the spotlight, anticipation builds regarding her future contributions when she fully embraces her artistic presence.
