INTERVIEWS
THE OTHER SIDE REVIEWS - Mar 2026
OSR: You also mention on Spotify that you wrote novels and composed music for film/tv. How do these explorations of other art contribute to you as a musician and in creating music, if at all?
RAVENISTIC: I have found it has helped immensely. There is a term in fiction writing – kill your darlings. Which means that even if you love a certain passage or character, if it doesn’t fit the story, you get rid of it. Because if you don’t, that passage or character stands out as not belonging. Readers notice that.

CLOUT - Feb 2026
CLOUT: How would you describe your sound to somebody unfamiliar with it?
Ravenistic: My music is the sound of growing up with music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s playing on the record player in my living room, or the tape player in my bedroom, or the CD player in my car. I have the luxury of growing up with music from all those decades and I can cherry pick from the best. My music is full of melody and emotion, without being maudlin. I made a promise to myself that I would not write anything that was depressing. I aim to keep all my songs bopping, rocking, and upbeat, and something that listeners can also relate to.

ROTATE MAGAZINE - Feb 2026
ROTATE: Congratulations on your new EP, Cocktail Hour. Why did you choose that title, and what does it represent for you?
Ravenistic: It wasn’t until I had decided on the 4 songs that I came up with the title. The way the songs flowed felt like a conversation, and I remembered the catch-ups with friends I had in my early 30s. We’d go to bars or out to dinner and just talk. No phones! Just talking about our relationships. They were intimate and honest, and so I decided on the title Cocktail Hour, as it represents an intimate chat with friends.

RGM PRESS - Feb 2026
RGM: What was your worst experience on stage? Any funny stories to share?
RAVENISTIC: My band had finally managed to score a gig at a club in the city that was on the ‘hot’ list of places to play, and the stage was so small, and the ceiling was so low that the head of my bass guitar kept knocking into the ceiling. Small chunks of the roof kept landing on me. We could hardly move. I think I also knocked my guitar into the forehead of the lead guitarist a few times.

SO VERY LIVING MY LIFE - Feb 2026
SORO: Give me a little bit of like, what's the origin story for Ravenistic?
RAVENISTIC: Well, she started in a band when she was young, 16 years old. I've always just been in the school bands and the school choirs and then I left school and was like, Oh well, what do you do? Your boyfriend plays guitar and his brother plays guitar and his friend plays drums. Like let's start a band. That's what you do.

A&R Factory - Nov 2025
A&R FACTORY: You’ve explored so many creative paths and now you’re releasing music as Ravenistic with a clear sense of identity. What do you want this new chapter to say about you as an artist and the kind of music you’re putting into the world?
RAVENISTIC: My music is the most real it has ever been. In my 20s, my lyrics were like a closely guarded secret, ambiguous, and cryptic, and I understand now how that style of writing is passive. When you’re starting out and exploring personal topics, you sometimes don’t want to come straight out and say ‘hey, this happened to me and here’s a song about it’. I wasn’t ready to deal with that kind of exposure, so I wrote lyrics that needed interpretation. Besides, I couldn’t write songs about bad relationships, because my boyfriend was in the band.
