Though, making sure you experiment with other ones can help ease the pressure and struggle to create. Sometimes when you take one art form too seriously, you lose your joy in it. Still, I have been struggling to write new music but it feels easier if I allow myself to play around with other art forms. I began to sew and paint everyday and it began to feel a lot like therapy. Though, I was able to regain them by working on other art forms. I felt like all my creative juices had been sucked out of my body. I wish I could say that making music in the time of Coronavirus was easy… but it was by far the opposite. For me a lot of this balance has to do with artistic endeavors. Musicians That Inspire: Cornelia Murr, Alice Boman, Chleo Frances, Soko, and Julia Jacklinĭo you feel like lockdown has shaped you as a musician/band? If so, how: Lockdown taught me that balance is key when taking care of your mental health. Gloom finds that true creative freedom lies within the balance of different art forms. By night, she is a musician and by day, a tattoo artist. Though, she goes back and forth from place to place pretty often. Originally hailing from Boulder, Colorado, she moved to New York three years ago to pursue music. Though, she likes to put her own twist on it, blending in elements of Dream Pop and ethereal themes. She records primarily out of her bedroom, thus adhering to the genre of Bedroom Pop. Not only is she a songwriter, but she also produces all of her own tracks. Latest Release: “Valerian” (Single), 2021Ībout: April Gloom uses music as a vessel to take you out of everyday life and into a new dreamy realm.
