You could describe CYN as the girl-next-door. She went from being a Michigan resident to getting signed by one of the worldâs biggest pop stars. Katy Perry fell in love with CYNâs voice after a chance encounter and CYN has since released a handful of singles in anticipation of her debut EP, Mood Swing. Not only is she making music, but sheâs also scored major fashion cred along the way. Check out what she had to say.
For someone whoâs never listened to your music before, how would you describe your music/sound to them?
My sound is most easily described as âpopâ, but I think if you dig a little deeper, you can hear alternative influences and jazz inflections. When I listen to my music, I can hear confidence and a strong, feminine perspective. My writing comes from an authentic place, and I can always hear that.
Tell us about your first NYFW experience. What was your favorite part?
Fashion week was honestly better than Christmas! If I could tell my 13 year old self what we were headed for, Iâd say forget about the bullies. Basically, during fashion week, designers invite all kinds of people to their runway shows â 15 minutes of show, a few hours of dancing, chatting, and champagne. It felt like one giant party dedicated to celebrating the beauty of style and the freedom that comes with it. I attended Susan Alexandraâs catwalk meets bat mitzvah show and Thom Browneâs runway through the city square show which featured brief cases, PB&J, and a trombone player. SoâŠ.in other words, my favorite part was all of it!
Do you find that fashion inspires your music or vice versa?
Everything inspires my music â definitely fashion but literally anything and everything could inspire a musical idea. To me, fashion is a way of tying the bow on top â a declaration of individuality. Just like music, fashion can inspire and direct lifestyles.
Whatâs the message you hope people take away from Mood Swing?
I hope people have fun and feel less alone in the world while listening to Mood Swing. I hope people get a sense of confidence and self-acceptance when listening to the songs in order, and I would love it if gays and girls everywhere blasted it while theyâre getting ready to go out.
If you were to star in a TV show, what would it be about and what kind of character would you play?
If I were to star in a TV show, I could see myself playing a girl who falls in love, an older sister, or a time traveling wifeâ just things along those lines really.
Lighting round! Describe each of the following in one word:
Who you are:Â Iâm dynamic.
What you value the most:Â I value expression the most.
What youâd be if you were a food item:Â If I were a some kind of food, I would be olive oil from Ojai, CA because that stuff is delicious.
