It can be kind of freeing to work on something for someone else because there can be a lot of overthinking and preciousness that goes on when making your own music. I started writing for other artists and projects a few years later, and yes! I love making music for other people. LB: I did! The first publishing deal I signed was more focused on my own artist development, so I wasn’t really writing for others at that point. What other artists and writers do you work with? Did you/do you enjoy writing and making music for other people? TMW: I read that you had inked a publishing deal and lived in Los Angeles for a time. I was a baby who had no idea who I was as an artist and I definitely wasn’t writing very good songs yet but it was a great learning experience and a huge privilege to be exposed to that world so early on. LB: It was amazing! I don’t know if I deserved to record in a studio with the incredible musicians I got to work with just yet. You released a few albums independently starting at a very young age. TMW: I was able to learn a lot about you that I didn't know when I created your article on the wiki. That eventually led to my first publishing deal. When I was 17 I skipped going to college and moved to New York instead where I began collaborating with other writers and producers and doing a little bit of touring. 88.5 WXPN - the public radio station in Philadelphia generously gave me some early support and helped to grow my audience in the beginning. I started playing shows around the Philadelphia area, made some recordings of my songs and started selling them at my shows. I was writing songs as soon as I could string a few chords together and it’s been a lifelong love and pursuit ever since.Īs far as my start in the business, when I was a teenager I would religiously seek out every open mic I could find to practice performing in front of an audience. I sang incessantly as a kid and I started playing guitar around 12 or 13. LB: I developed a big interest in music very early on. When do you realize you wanted to pursue a career in music? How did you get your start in the music business? Ha! Just trying to stay sane and not get or give anyone covid. I go on a lot of hikes, I do a lot of workouts in my yard. Other than writing and working on music, I’m really into cooking. Royce and I are working on a Jupiter Winter album which is very exciting for me. Lelia Broussard: I’ve just been making a lot of music! It’s been kind of nice to have all of this uninterrupted time to write. The Midnight Wiki: What have you been up to lately? She talks to us about beginning her music career at a young age, the pros and cons of being independent versus being signed to a label, appearing on TV on Jimmy Fallon and The Voice, her work with The Midnight, and her plans for Jupiter Winter in 2021. Lelia joined The Midnight as a touring member for the Fall 2019 Tour and also co-wrote and sang guest vocals on the song Monsters. Wells and heralded Australian racehorse Phar Lap.The Midnight Wiki had the honor of interviewing Lelia Broussard of Jupiter Winter in January 2021. The lyrics warn of escalation in the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union (" ICBMs, SS-20s / they lie so dormant, they got so many"), and allude to both H.G. This setting was surpassed only recently, after the inauguration of American president Donald Trump in January 2017, when the clock was set at two-and-a-half minutes to midnight. This was the closest to midnight the clock had reached since the overt testing of H-Bombs by the US and Soviet Union in 1953. Nuclear confrontation was pertinent at the time of this song, the clock having regressed to a mere "three minutes to midnight" in 1984 from some 12 minutes in the preceding decade. The title and lyrics of the song allude to the Doomsday Clock, a symbolic timepiece published by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which represents the proximity of nuclear war (or more generally "catastrophic destruction"), designated as "midnight". The song was written by band members Peter Garrett and Jim Moginie. Minutes to Midnight is the fourth track on the 1984 album Red Sails in the Sunset by Australian music group Midnight Oil. 1984 song by Midnight Oil "Minutes to Midnight"
