Alice Merton

“When you've moved 13 times, you lose track of where you're from.”

“I wanted to sing about things that moved me and experiences I had collected throughout life.”

“Mom+Pop aren't just a label, but they were the group of people that seemed to really care about a long-term relationship. I can be honest with them, like I would with my family, but at the same time, I can expect for them always to be upfront and honest with me.”

“I like eating yummy things.”

“When I was thirteen years old, and we had just moved to Germany, I definitely felt I was missing out on normal teenage life. I was watching my old school friends from Canada grow up without me while I was in Germany trying to learn the language and trying to pass each year without failing.”

“I feel it's much easier to be honest or be myself in songs when I'm playing. That's why I felt, 'You know, I'm going to write the truth.'”

“I get mad about something, and then I have this melody in my head, and then afterwards, the lyrics come.”

“I get really nervous when I'm performing or meeting new people.”

“I have complete creative freedom. If I want to put a song on the album, there's no one stopping me.”

“Like most people, I wanted and still want to live by my own rules.”

“I make music... and it helps me figure out life.”
