My name is Paul Druta and I am a second-year student at the University of Washington in Seattle. This quarter, I am taking a class called Feminism in the Borderlands and in this class I was exposed to your music for the first time. I really enjoyed the music and video for "Madre Tierra" and this encouraged me to look into your other songs on Spotify. I am very happy to be able to learn from you on Monday during our Zoom lecture. Below, I have listed a few questions that I wanted to ask you:
1) What do you think are some of the reasons why the hip hop scene (in particular, the female hip hop scene) in Australia is not as well-established as in other countries like the United Kingdom or France?
2) Coming from a multicultural background, do you ever find yourself leaning towards one cultural identity more than the others or is it fairly balanced?
3) Your music notably combines many different musical cultures together (hip hop, salsa, R&B, among others). What are some of the difficulties that arise from a musical standpoint when trying to synthesize different cultural influences into one artistic work?
Thank you!
