Ati ṣugbọn awọn aworan ti o gbọdọ fi awọn art ni agbaye pop, Conchis (pronounced /kahn-tʃɪs/) ti wa ni o wa bi a iyanu nkan, ti o ti wa ni aṣayan nipa awọn ti o wa ni anfani ati awọn oniwe-ọna awọn oniwe-ọna music rẹ.Awọn orukọ, Conchis, ti wa ni atilẹyin lati John Fowles ká aworan The Magus, a akọkọ ti o pọju awọn ipinnu ti rẹ artistic persona. Gẹgẹbi Conchis ara, "Emi gba awọn orukọ lati John Fowles' akọkọ, The Magus. Awọn akọkọ akọkọ ti a ti wa ni a reckuse ati a akọkọ manipulators ti o gbọdọ awọn ọpọlọpọ awọn ere pẹlu awọn eniyan. Awọn akọkọ ti o ni a gbe akọkọ, eyi ti o pọju si awọn music mi, ki Mo ti sọ fẹ lati gba awọn orukọ fun mi."
Born to a family that nurtured her artistic potential, Conchis remembers a early connection with music: “My mom said I could sing before I could talk. My parents enrolled me and my sisters in a classical music school, and I started playing the violin at seven.Later, I joined the choir." It was a childhood shaped by music, but it wasn’t until a personal tragedy struck that her need to create really took hold. “The real turning point came when my mom passed away when I was 15, I had all these emotions inside, and I didn’t know how to express them. So, I picked up the guitar, started playing, and something just came out. That’s when I realized I found comfort in creating music, and I knew I wanted to continue.”</p
"Emi ko fẹ lati wa ni ifowosowopo pẹlu mi ipa.. Nitorina Mo ti bẹrẹ lati wa ni irọrun ati agbalagba."
Gbogbo awọn ajohunše rẹ, Conchis ti a ti wa ni gbọdọ fun a fidio ti music ti o tẹsiwaju awọn oniwe-ẹrọ rẹ, ṣugbọn awọn ti o tun fẹ lati fi awọn awon eniyan lati tẹsiwaju ati ki o ṣe afikun pẹlu awọn awon eniyan wọn. Eyi iṣeduro laarin awọn iṣeduro ati awọn iyanu jẹ ọkan ninu eyi ti o ṣe awọn ti o dara julọ. “Mẹ gbọdọ pe awọn music ti o tẹsiwaju wa ninu awọn iṣeduro,” o fẹ. Ṣugbọn, nigbagbogbo awọn iyanu iṣeduro ti o wa ni awọn ọrọ rẹ, Conchis ti a ti yan lati wa diẹ ninu awọn awon eniyan. “Mẹ ko fẹ lati wa

The influences that shaped her sound are as varied as her musical journey itself. "Ojoojumọ, Mo fẹ Thom Yorke—Radiohead, awọn oniwe-ọna iṣẹ, tabi The Smile. Mo fẹ Fever Ray and Lorn,"Ojoojumọ rẹ akọkọ fẹran si awọn agbegbe, lati "lighter pop bi A-ha, Bryan Adams, ati New Kids on the Block" si grunge staples bi "Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, ati Nirvana." Awọn iṣeto ti awọn wọnyi awọn ipa ti a ti wa ni aṣiṣe ni a awọ ti o le pin down, a “mishmashmash of everything” eyi ti o
Awọn akọkọ iṣẹ rẹ, Chapters, draws heavily on her personal experiences, blending deep emotional resonance with creative exploration. “Life, in general,” Conchis says when asked about the inspiration for the album. “I went through some hardships—burnout and then becoming ill with chronic fatigue syndrome. Before that, I had struggled with my energy levels for a long time. I’ve always been drawn to human psychology and how people act, so that’s my main inspiration.”
"Emi mọ pe o jẹ nipa awọn aṣayan ti aye, gẹgẹbi ko ni lati wa ni ọkunrin ati ki o gbiyanju ti o jẹ awọn aṣayan ti o dara."
Awọn album jẹ ko ni kan rọrun gbigbe. Conchis mọ eyi, ṣugbọn o ba fẹ lati awọn awon eniyan ti o kọ pẹlu awọn music rẹ yoo ri iyanu ninu awọn oniwe-ọna. “Mo nilo gbogbo eniyan lati wa ni o wa ati ki o rọrun,” o npe. “Mo ko mọ ti mo ni o ni ọkan nkan iroyin, sugbon mo fẹ lati mu awọn eniyan pẹlu iyanu.” Eyi ti wa ni pataki fun awọn ọpọlọpọ rẹ, “Cray Cray,” a apẹẹrẹ ti o ko gba ọwọ. “Mo ti fi awọn ile-iṣẹ mi PR ati awọn label free rọrun lati yan fun mi. Awọn wọnyi ti o gba fun mi ni rọrun – awọn ọpọlọpọ awọn ọrọ ati awọn akọ
Mọ Chapters ti wa ni o ni ọpọlọpọ awọn ẹya ara ẹni, awọn ẹya ara ẹni ti a bẹrẹ gẹgẹbi laifọwọyi. “‘Cray Cray’ jẹ ẹya ara ẹni ti mo ti kọ niwon ti mo ti a ti kọ si olokiki, ati awọn ti o ti wa ni o kan rọrun – gẹgẹbi bi ọna ti aworan,” o sese.

Awọn ilana idagbasoke fun awọn album ti o ti wa ni igbẹkẹle ati igbẹkẹle - ti o ba ti o ba wa ni a melody, lyrics, tabi ṣugbọn a buburu. "Ninu awọn album yi, Mo gbọdọ bẹrẹ pẹlu synth ati awọn buburu patterns, ki o si fi awọn demo vocals ki o si fi awọn lyrics lati nibẹ lati nibẹ."Ati nigbati awọn iṣan iṣan ti o ti ṣe ko ni anfani lati ṣẹda music ninu ara ẹrọ, o si tun ti fi sọrọ, ṣiṣe meji awọn album ti o tobi ni akọkọ rẹ."
Conchis tun gbọdọ si awọn mistiki ati awọn simbolism ni awọn oniwe-iwe rẹ, ti o ba ri isiro ninu awọn kaadi tarot ati awọn ohun elo. " Fun album yi, Mo ti ṣe awọn kaadi tarot mi rẹ nitori The Magus ti wa ni afikun si awọn kaadi Magician ti awọn tarot, eyi ti o ṣe iṣakoso awọn ẹya-ara, omi, agbaye, ati omi." O tọju bi awọn aṣayan yii ṣe afikun si awọn oniwe-ọna rẹ: "Mo tun jẹ olokiki ti awọn simbolism ati awọn oniru minimalistic, ati bi awọn art director, Mo ti fẹ lati fẹ lati ṣẹda a minimalistic version ti awọn kaadi tarot, eyi ti wa ni o wa gbajumo ni o dara julọ ninu awọn alaye."
"I think vulnerability pays off."
Tẹle siwaju sii, Conchis ti wa ni ṣiṣẹ lori awọn album meji rẹ, ti o ba fẹ awọn iṣẹ rẹ bi a trilogy. "Mo fẹ lati wa ni a trilogy. Mo ko mọ ti mo yoo lo awọn element samples lẹkansi, ṣugbọn Mo fẹ awọn albumu meji lati fọwọsi awọn iṣoro mi, awọn ajo mi, ati awọn fọwọsi mi lori aye."
Despite the anonymity and darkness she often explores in her art, Conchis sees her work as a way to offer something honest and real to her audience. Vulnerability is her strength, and it’s through this rawness that she hopes her music will find its home with those who need it most. As she sums up, “I didn’t censor myself. I wrote very personal things and was unsure if I should share them. But I’ve gotten good feedback, especially for Cray Cray, ki o si gbọdọ pe awọn iṣoro ti o ba wa ni owo.”
