Earlier this month I was able to interview the lovely Kandle Osborne before her show at The Drake Hotel, and the article is now up online for Faze Magazine - so I thought I'd share :)

Here's a glimpse into our interview:
Q: You mentioned you were just in Paris - how was that experience?
Kandle: It was lovely. We were there for about three
weeks, in France and Switzerland. It was beautiful but the trip started off a
bit rough. I was insanely sick right before we left and it just kept getting
worse and worse every day and somehow I ended up on a plane unconscious and in
a wheel chair. And then as soon as we arrived I had to go right on stage and I
collapsed; it was awful. We were opening for Coeur de Pirate again and she’s
huge over there so it was a huge show and it was awful for me. That was the
first show unfortunately. And then a full recovery and the rest of the tour was
amazing. The rest of the venues were a lot smaller but it was really good. We
were very well received over there and the French were so nice and opened us
with open arms where ever we went and they totally took care of us. People were
so into it and it was a great experience.
Q: Moving from BC to Montreal, was that transition difficult at all?
K: It was pretty easy actually. Being from the west
coast, as you know, it’s very relaxed and there are a bunch of fun, artsy types
everywhere and it’s a similar vibe in Montreal it seems. Everybody is an artist
and everybody is doing something interesting. So it was a pretty easy
transition actually, except for the French.
Q: What went into the making of your debut EP?
K: It was something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I had
a band with my sister and our friend Louise, who is opening for us tonight. I
did the majority of the writing in that band but I didn’t really know how to sing
yet. I was really insecure, super shy and terrified. So my sister and Louise
did most of the singing. And I just had this secret collection of songs I’ve
been working on that I just really wanted to keep to myself. I kept saying one
day I’m going to make this EP, you’ll all see! So then the other girls got too
busy and I was alone and frustrated, knowing I wanted to do music more than
anything, so I forced my dad into getting started.
Q: Where does your inspiration come from?
K: Definitely out of darkness. I usually write when I am
angry or upset and for me, it’s kind of an outlet of how to get rid of dark
emotions instead of lingering or holding onto it and ruining my life. All of
the bad things that happened, I just want to get it out into music somehow.
There’s not really a formula for it, it just happens that way and I’ve just
never written a happy song. I’ve written joke songs about my dog and those are
happy, but no one needs to hear those, ever.
