She gets stage fright every time
These days, Lennox can most likely be found singing in YouTube videos with Lola, who is also a musician and songwriter. She almost never performs live otherwise, finding the experience too nerve-racking. She gets stage fright “every time,” she says, “and I have to deal with that. I have to find some way to convince my brain and my body that it’s okay, that I’m not going to die, that it’s all right, I can do this, you know? Because it’s always that doubt that you can do it.”
