Banks : (5)

" Music is the most private place in my life, but it’s become the most public part of who I am. " - Banks

" I have a very feminine voice when I write, a very womanly point of view. My last name feels strong and powerful. To me, it’s almost a bit masculine. I like the dichotomy of the two. Two sides perfectly represented within my name. " - Banks

" It’s a big theme throughout my music to just embrace everything about your own mind and to always feel powerful. It’s not just a feminine thing, but for men, too, whether they feel weak, or strong or crazy or reclusive. I want everyone to feel powerful no matter what little beasts they have in their head. " - Banks

" A wounded healer, I think, is a lot more powerful than a healer that has not been wounded. In ‘Weaker Girl,’ I was coming from a wounded healer’s perspective. " - Banks

" It’s funny because everyone says, ‘Oh you’re reclusive; you don’t do social media,’ but it’s not about being reclusive. I like direct contact, and I like contact that’s purposeful. " - Banks
