“It definitely feels different to perform to people who know your music...” — Kelela Quote

It definitely feels different to perform to people who know your music. Because people's feedback is not just, 'Oh my God, that was amazing. Who are you?'

Self-care is a requirement.

That's pretty much how every song of mine works - I start with gibberish and melody and phrasing. I speak it naturally first. And then I think about lyrics that fit into that.

I think I'm taking risks and putting myself out there.

I know deep down I'm a star.

I learned that it's important to treat yourself like a work in progress, to think about how you can improve, to listen to feedback.

When we were unknown, you don't get a lot of bad feedback. Now, we get people bad-mouthing us all the time, but it's all part of the game.

I think then, when we started receiving the first of the user feedback, feedback from people that I had not specifically told about it, but had spread from friend to friend and then they were giving us feedback.

I have to give all the solutions and feedback to my players if we want to improve.

Twitter is a very powerful platform for adversarial feedback.
