2/24/2021 Reddit AMA

On February 24th, 2021, Ellise announced a Reddit Ask Me Anything via her Twitter. The Ask Me Anything was hosted in the r/music subreddit and continued for two hours until the Reddit servers crashed. The next day, Ellise answered more questions.

## QnA

*The following questions and answers are edited for grammatical reasons.*

* How many singles are going to be on your [upcoming] album? And, have you filmed all the music videos? If so, which one was your favorite one to film? u/osiris\_moon
	+ There's three singles currently! And not everything has been shot yet, I'm shooting a music video for the 3rd single this month and I'm super excited.
* Hi Lisey. I've been enjoying your music since December 2019 and I still listen to most of your songs. Here are my questions, If you weren't doing music today, what would you be doing as a career? And my other question is, which song of yours is your favorite to sing? Love you! u/ulirathex
	+ Hi! Honestly, I can't really imagine myself doing anything else, haha, I have absolutely no "Plan: B". But, I do love style and clothes a lot so maybe something in the fashion industry?
* How much does it cost for bots to stream your music? u/Think\_Manager\_3929
	+ I wouldn't know, I don't use them and I'm also pretty sure you can't even use bots on Spotify (or any other DSPs), haha.
		- Is that a joke? Haha, legal or not, it's a known fact that bots are used on streaming services all the time. Either you and your mommy's checkbook are familiar with that fact, or you got scammed by some playlist-service that promises real streams. I don't know which is worse. u/fun\_crab837
* Are there any songs that aren't by you but you wish you'd written and made yourself? u/osiris\_moon
	+ Yes, Liability by Lorde.
* What's the weirdest aspect to being famous? Also, what's your spirit animal and why? u/IsopodSome9635
	+ HAHA, "famous"? Her parents are probably paying for this promotion, who even is she? u/Important\_Bass2672
		- No, I'm actually signed to a label and they fund the things I'm able to do. I've been with them since early 2020! Before that you'll notice I don't have any high budget music videos or assets because I was just an indie artist growing organically.
			* She said who she is. she isn't super famous yet, but she has enough of a following for this. Actually look at her social medias before making assumptions out of nothing. If you haven't heard of her, and don't care, then it's as simple as not looking at this post. Scroll past and read something else. u/osiris\_moon
* Are you still learning about who you are? Because I am, and I'm already 22 years old and I feel sick of not knowing what I want and how I really am. Any tips? By the way, I love you so much and I'm so proud of how far you already came. You go, girl! u/annnelinde
	+ I feel you so hard, I'm also 22, and I feel like I don't even know what my reality is sometimes. I question everything, even what I think I know about myself and the world constantly. I think (I hope, haha) it's normal. In the grand scheme of things, 22 is pretty young and as for tips, honestly the more bullshit I go through, the more it makes me learn about myself and my environment. Going through stuff (good, bad, life changing) is probably the only way to continue to grow and learn. I love you! You're not alone.
* Hey Elise. I love you and your music, so much! What kind of vibes can we expect for the album? Is it going to be similar to anything else you've released before? u/peacexpanics
	+ Hi! So, the album is definitely different than the stuff I've released in the past. Not so "Halloweenie" or spooky. But, there's a lot of different sounds on the album and no two songs are very alike. It's still gonna sound like me just because I wrote it all and my lyrical content and melody choices will always live in the kind of "darker" space. So, I'd say its me, but way more evolved and grown up.
* Not a question, but I love you and your music. I bump your music everyday and get lit. By the way, can't wait for your debut album! I've been waiting forever. u/Temporary\_Shower9421
	+ Ahhh! Thank you so much, I'm so happy you listen to my stuff! I genuinely cannot wait for this album to come out, I think you're going to love it. It really has so many different types of sounds and is so real and true to who I am. So, I hope it makes you feel things the way it makes me feel things.
		- I definitely will! u/Temporary\_Shower9421
* If you could go back to any past era and write music for a famous musician, what era would you travel to and who would you be a lyricist for? u/ZIPPERLlPS
	+ Oh my gosh, imagine writing with Amy Winehouse. I wouldn't know how to act, I would be so in awe.
* If you could move to anywhere in the world right now (no COVID), where would it be and why?
	+ Hmm, probably London! I went there once and fell in love with it, I could definitely see myself living there someday.
* Hi Ellise! Huge fan, what label are you signed with? u/jennyblock76
	+ I'm signed with Empire Records for my label and SAL&CO for management last year! Bubblegum Brain was my first release under this team and I'm super excited to be working with them.
* Are you gonna work with Shea on a music video again? u/osiris\_moon
	+ Nothing planned as far as videos right now, but I love Shea and we're going to work on music together when she gets back to LA!
* What would be your biggest goal as a singer? u/zippxrlips
	+ I've always had huge goals with music since I was really young. Honestly, I will be happy if I can carry out a career that I view as successful and continue to make music that I love and believe in and have people enjoy that music with me. I'd also love to tour of course, traveling around the world, performing my stuff and meeting the people who make me happiest sounds f\*\*king amazing. And, I'd love to get into fashion at some point with a clothing brand, stuff like that
* Who are your biggest music inspirations? u/fomky
	+ I have so many. I feel like I get inspired by small parts of certain artists and what I enjoy making is a culmination of all the little pieces of everything I enjoy about other artists' music. Some of my favorites who inspire me so much are Frank Ocean, Lana Del Rey, Charli XCX, and Lorde is literally the artist that truly made me want to make my own original music. When I heard Pure Heroin at 14 years old, I was changed, haha.
