We caught up with Queen Eleonora not too long ago. She was happy to answer a few questions for the BMS Radio Network.

What is your music background?

Dwelling in secrecy for ages. It’s 95% heart and 5% self-education via internet.

Who are your musical influences?

I grew up listening to jazz, rock, classical music, soul and everything beautifully experimental and different. My pop sound is kind contrived, but there’s a lot of new wave, 90’s and 2000’s pop, R&B, 60s soul and Hip-Hop going into it. In terms of soundscape I’m just referencing the chat-toppers. 808 check, auto-tune check and so on.

What are your long-term career goals?

Enjoyment, money and avoiding personal fame at all cost.

What type of recording process do you use and who produced your music?

I produce my own music. I do everything. I’m pragmatic and I like doing things as cheaply and efficiently as possible. «Across the Ocean» is built up on synths and sounds from the free notation program MuseScore. I try and use mostly standard plug-ins in ProTools. Also, I like stripping down the music to just the essentials. If I have rhythm, harmony, melody and perhaps a couple of sound effects: I’m good.

Do you ever get the chance to perform live?

I’ve gotten the chance to avoid that every single day of my life so far, and it’s great. I’ll be a studio girl, no doubt.

Are you looking to remain independent or would you prefer a major label deal?

Whichever way I get to cash in most efficiently. A label would be good, as long as I can do things my way.

If anything, what would you change about the music industry today?

I’d like to remind people that music can be about music. Music is always confounded with style, image and all kinds of pretensions. I don’t like it when artist have to «reassure» their audience that their music comes from «their heart» – they’re like car salesmen.

Anything else you want to say on the people?

You’ll be happier if you’ll ask what you can do for the world, rather than what the world can do for you.
