What’s been your approach to learning and growing as a music artist? I think on the one hand, I’ve often tied my musical talent and ability to qualifications, so I was always chasing this idea of being formally trained in Arabic music, as many traditional artists do. I do really enjoy focusing on traditional Arabic singing, for the way it highlights the maqams,* and for how long and sophisticated the finished piece turns out.

I hear you're playing a show in London? Yeah, anybody can come to London. It’s a free show, zero dollars. You just have to fly to London [laughs] Maybe this show is just for all the chaps and lasses. My show at Gonzo's was all-ages, so it was a little reckless. My teenage fans are grazy. They go hard. Kids go crazy. Have you ever been to Trans Pecos? Yeah. Once I went and it ended up being this all-ages furry night.

January 08, 2024Punk as Patti, playful as PJ — the picturesque allure of coffee-and-cigarette charisma, she has it. But beneath this carefully curated appearance lies a soul unsatisfied with today’s simulacra, yearning for something more bare — a pursuit as pure as the perfect pirouette. Transitioning from coffeeshops to concerts, from TV Eye to Madison Square, Stella Rose finds herself navigating the muddled ground between praise and provocation.

November 22, 2023And so, they fell out—the rotten, the tiered, the neglected. One by one, they felt each other go, roots untangling with unease, leaving a void to rest in peace. An unguarded gap, this vulnerable vacuum. Collect them like flower seeds and store them with fragile ease. Time takes away teeth. Instead of growing new ones in their former place, the ones society watched depart are forced to flourish elsewhere, outside the structure and the all-too-ordinary stereotype, only to leave again.

Michella's "Unmade Beds" is also currently on view at Shoot the Lobster, New York, until November 25th. Congratulations on your first printed publication. This has been a work-in-progress for the past decade, how have you matured, as a person and a professional, since starting? What have you learned? Thank you. Yes, the oldest picture in the book was taken when I was in art school in 2012. My friend had just gotten pregnant and I was playing around with my camera that I bought online.
