DOMINO KIRKE

No one listens to CDs anymore. Who even owns a CD? I used to bring my CDs to shows, and it was, like, a guarantee that everyone would buy one. Nope! Not anymore.

Listeners can expect to feel very relaxed during the listening experience of 'Beyond Waves.' The songs are very lyrical and extremely intimate, so I feel like you're going to need to be in a quiet room when you hear them, at least the first time.

People should listen to my music if they just want to know me better.

I put on a little bit more makeup when I perform.

Being in a band was so fun and exciting, but I was just kind of focusing more on performance and wasn't really writing the songs - I didn't really think I had a voice.

I'm obsessed with any kind of floral print.

One of the expectations growing up was that I'd become a well-known artist.

It's weird. I went so far away from music that I had to re-invent music again. I had to come back to music. I had to put music with an agenda down and at least write for my son, write to keep writing, but the idea of having a music career had to go away for a while.

Penn and I want to write a record together.

Music is everything.

I have always been more of a truth-seeking person since I was quite young.

I just believe pregnant women need a familiar face, someone who isn't related to them who they may have all this emotional past with, to be there, just for them, during the birth.

I think when you come from a house full of artists, everyone's got their niche.

My son's birth was pretty life-shattering, in good ways and bad ways. I realized that I needed a doula because I'm not close to my mom, and I don't have a lot of people in New York.

I've always put out EPs because I had a kid and never had the time to tour and do what it takes to support a record.

I felt this pressure to just be the singer in my family or the musician in my family. But once I had my son, I was like, 'No, I can do all of it.'

Growing up, I feel like my character was so much about being a problem-solver and a truth-seeker and always needing to get to the bottom of everything.

Mark Ronson was a dear friend through family and through growing up in New York, being in that scene, and Mark came to a show and really liked it and asked us to join his record label Allido records, or 'all I do' records, and that was sort of a development deal.

The minute I had him, my son, I realized that I had to just time-manage in a way that I never had to before.

I was always interested in midwifery; it was my plan B.

What I learned is that it's very hard to have both a family life and a touring life simultaneously.

I moved to the States from London when I was 12 years old. My father was in a band and wanted to tour, so we moved here, but it wasn't until I moved to Williamsburg and had my son that I felt like I finally belonged.

When I sing, I feel calm.

I had, like, four Sigur Ros records on my playlist when I was in labor.

'In Ear Park' perfectly encapsulates the beauty of youth for me.
