I often use my middle name and maiden name to make up Victoria Powling, Head of TLC Records, when making business calls. I set up my own label TLC Records, to release the album on. I book all my gigs, I act as my own manager. I co-wrote every track on the album and I co-produced the album and arranged the tracks. I sold these segments for £100 each and in under 5 months had raised £12.5k towards the album. Each song was called an 'orange' and each 'orange' had 10 'segments'. I raised £12.5k through fans money by pioneering and setting up 'Pick an Orange Project' in 2008. "My debut album was released in 2009, recorded at Abbey Road Studios and The Dairy Brixton.

"82% of the people that use social media daily are women. I play live on a Guild guitar from -84" "I don't think there is much difference at all. I run my own label and make both business decisions and marketing decisions." "I have a red Marina guitar that I've had since I turned 18. I produce everything from the music to the album covers. "I'm a solo artist, but I have a backing band. It's hard to say what's valuable and what isn't this early on, but I'm sure we'll know pretty soon! Well, my sister plays guitar, and we kind of needed the other instruments to write songs, haha. You don't really see that anymore, because the world is moving too fast for anyone to really latch onto anybody. female figureheads in music used to exist. Diana Ross, Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Madonna. Yeah, I think that the 60s-90s provided us with female Superstars in all genres, I.e. Personally I like to look at this as an ongoing world-beautification project that everyone has a stake in, regardless of age, gender, upbringing, etc. I don't really think in terms of gender when it comes to making art.
My sister has a nice gold glitter '69 taesco guitar, I have a pretty boring standard black fender p-bass, a pretty aged yamaha keyboard for psychedelic sounds & drums, roland sp-404 sampler.
My sister is 15, so I pretty much call the shots as far as business goes. I sing, play bass, program the drums, and come up with the keyboard parts.
