Read the SIBERIA Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am SIBERIA. I am a songwriter, sci-fi enthusiast, poet, workaholic, artist and musician. I stretch ideas across multiple mediums and eventually come back to center. When I write lyrics/melodies/poems, sometimes I try to write from the perspective of: if Salvador Dali (and all his art) and I collided and created music together. Somewhere in the genre of electropop/indiepop/darkpop, you will find me.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
The influences that have carried themselves with me throughout the years would have to be (earliest to present): Paramore, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, LIGHTS, Lorde, Halsey, Banks, Lido, SZA and Purity Ring. LONG LIST, I know and being honest those are probably the top 10 out of the thousands of MUSICAL influences. I’m inspired by all art mediums like paintings/cinematography…like Salvador Dali and Jaco Van Dormael.
With all the time that’s passed, all of my influences and myself have grown over time together. We learn the facets of life when we’re kicked down and find our ways back up. It all reflects in all of their work which I find myself drawn to raw intricate expressions of themselves.
What´s new right now?
Too many INCREDIBLE albums to name-drop right now.
If I were to pick 3 to drop everything and listen to right now it would be, if you haven’t listened already this year:
1. “Skin&Earth” – Lights
2. “Modern Addiction” – TENDER
3. “All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell” – PVRIS.
As for SIBERIA, I have been working on a project for the last year and a half that before the end of next year – will see light. This project has engulfed my entire life. It is something I am incredibly proud of already and it’s still just beginning. I am planning shows before the end of the year in Florida – keep up with my social media to get more info.

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
LIGHTS. I don’t know if I consider myself a SUPER-FAN. But she inspired me throughout a lot of rough times and inspired me to become an artist. Back in the old days of Myspace I came across a profile called, LIGHTSNOISE. The next day a friend recommended one of her recent singles off her first album to me. It’s only went up from there. She is a genuine artist, musician and human being. One of my favorite people to talk to ever.
