“If you ever see an image and it activates another sense beside sight, then you have experienced exactly what I am attempting to accomplish with my art.” |

Love and life are her utmost inspirations in her music. Musician MLE learned how to play guitar from the best guitarist in the world: her dad. One time she wanted to impress some boys at school and asked her dad to learn the guitar solo for “Hot for Teacher”. Well it only took him an hour, but when MLE tried to play it… yeah let’s just say she never did learn it. When MLE was a little girl her dad used to read her DR SUESS books at night before bed. Her love for the rhymes in those books would forever influence her phonetically. Her lyrics are derived from her life experiences, most of heartache and headache, but her sense of humor always prevailed and inspired funny little ditty’s like the cell phone song; which she wrote while waiting on hold with Verizon trying to dispute a $350 phone bill. She wrote her first song at seven years old, taking the words of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and changing them to be about her cat named Rudy. She still loves to take familiar songs and change the words to be funny, her version of Take me out the Ballgame being a perfect example, where the first verse starts out with, “Take me out you’re my husband, that’s all you need to do.” When she was in high school, MLE was obsessed with rap and as a result learned the importance of breath control, pronunciation and more sophisticated rhyming patterns. MLE also loved songs that told stories and so it is no surprise many of her original songs tell the tales of her life. Her favorite subject to write about is love, and she credits her best material to all the great loves in her life, including one particular man who motivated her whole music career: Kaustubh Pandav, song writer and lead singer of her favorite band Lucky Boys Confusion. |
