Over to you, PAYTRA.
MUSICA Magazine: PAYTRA, your music moves effortlessly between soulful vocals, playful rap and infectious dance beats. If you had to describe your sound in just three words, what would they be — and why?
PAYTRA: This is so hard!! I think I’d say witty, playful, and very “New York.”
I love using wit and wordplay in my lyrics and creating this playful, unserious fantasy world. Storytelling has become a huge source of inspiration for me. I like taking real moments from my life and turning up the drama, especially in songs like “Twisted.”
New York has had a huge influence on my life, and that energy naturally comes through in my music. I definitely feel like I bring a New York edge to pop!
MUSICA Magazine: You’re known for bold lyrics, sharp wit and plenty of attitude. What’s the one thing you always want your listeners to feel when they hear a PAYTRA track?
PAYTRA: I want them to feel badass, extra AF, and spicy!!!. Music has always been that for me. I used to be so shy, and music is what got me out of my shell and made me feel unstoppable. My one hope is that I can do the same for someone else!
MUSICA Magazine: New York is bursting with musical energy and attitude. How much of that city’s personality finds its way into your music?
PAYTRA: It’s completely changed my sound from where I started. New York is truly one of a kind. Between the wild stories from growing up there, meeting people from all over the world, each with their own story and dream, and those crazy New York late nights, it’s all found its way into my music.
The music there has so much grit, resilience, and SOUL. & I channel all that when I write!
