We got real with badass artivist/singer-songwriter Pyra about her art, activism, feminism and balancing it all over coconut shakes!

Based now between London and Thailand, we discussed the artivist's colourful musical history, how she got to her current brand of dystopian pop, her brand spanking new album 'PYRADISE' and how she manages themes of activism and feminism within her work.

Pyra starts by sharing about her move to London and the motivations behind her vocal stance on activism, government, and economics. Together we delved into exploring Singapore (where the interview was held) as a "utopian but dystopian" place, particularly challenging for those facing financial struggles, and learned the backstory behind her immersive debut album 'PYRADISE'.

We then shifted our focus to the intersection of feminism and creativity in music, discussing the importance of using music to convey messages about oppression, political issues, and feminism. Pyra also shared with us on the climate for women in Thailand, including the obstacles to achieving gender equality, as well her experiences as a female producer, writer and artist in the wider music industry.
