I started to play acoustic guitar and at the same And then I quickly learnt that I didn’t want to work withĪctors, I didn’t want to work with so many people, it was very stressful, and I actually went to university to study theater, I wanted to be a But I didn’t really get that it was music, I thought that it And then when I was older, I was like, “Give me that electric guitar!” And I’d be singing Janis Joplin songs on my guitar and screaming, and stuff like that. Like, “Yeah, yeah, you can sing.” I’d have to sing at every family function from there on. I would be like, “Can I sing with that band?” And my parents were like, “Can you sing?” And I was like, “Yeah I think so!”Īnd I’d have to audition with the bar mitzvah band while they were eating and I would be singing – this is completely embarrassing – Barbra Streisand songs, and they’d be I always sang, even when I was seven, embarrassigly enough, at family bar mitzvahs and stuff. So I thought theater was what I wanted to do. My parents took me to see a lot of theater productions because we had a lot of family in New York, so we saw a lot of stuff like that. The only creative outlet I had was that I understood theater. I look back to see some of the music that was popular on the radio when I was seven, and I can still sing along to them, but I didn’t know it was music. I have a wonderful family but beside my brother listening to punk music and my sister listening to a lot of disco and funk music I just picked it up. Well, I have no musical training and I had no musical guidance as a small child and as a young adult, actually. For you, growing up in Toronto, what were some of your earliest musical inspirations? But I would like to know a little bit more about this wonderful woman, Merrill Nisker, from Toronto. World has gotten to know this woman called Peaches fairly well. I guess over the course of the last ten years a lot of the This, which is suitably apt, it’s just a short, sharp piece of what you’re all

I guess that kind of begs the question, I mean you tour a lot, and some people I’ve got to say that it must be noted that you arrived in Madrid the night before last, you found yourself very ill yesterday, couldn’t make it here yesterday and missed out on Tony Visconti. Ladies and gentleman, give it up for Peaches. But most importantly, she’s an inspiration.
She’s a singer, she’s a songwriter, she’s a performance artist, she’s a conceptual artist, she’s a theater writer, she’s a theater director, she’s released four albums, toured all over the world and created a storm of awesomeness and controversy along the way. It’s an absolute pleasure to welcome our next guest at the Red Bull Music Academy.
