Beschreibung | Elizabeth Clark Phair (geboren am 17. April 1967) ist eine amerikanische Singer-Songwriterin. Geboren in New Haven, Connecticut, wuchs Phair hauptsächlich in der Gegend von Chicago auf. Nach ihrem Abschluss am Oberlin College im Jahr 1990 versuchte sie, in San Francisco, Kalifornien, eine Musikkarriere zu starten, kehrte aber in ihre Heimat Chicago zurück, wo sie begann, unter dem Namen Girly-Sound Audiokassetten selbst zu veröffentlichen. Die Kassetten führten zu einem Plattenvertrag mit dem unabhängigen Plattenlabel Matador Records. |
I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.
I mean, I kind of remember... I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to.
I don't know what the future holds. Anything is possible.
It was a source of shame for my family that I was in rock and roll, which is so blue-collar. It just isn't done. And I felt it, too.
I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.
I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.
You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.
I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.
Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable.
I've lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age, and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point.
Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.
