Ever since I was little, I showed traits of both masculine and feminine energies. Androgyny was never something that I thought about or tried for. Shamir androgynyenergyfeminine Change image and share on social
My plan was to release a tape, move to Arkansas, live on a farm, and make music like Bon Iver. Shamir arkansasbonfarm Change image and share on social
When you're from a boring town, you have to find things to do. It's funny: I always knew I wanted to make music, so I was always kind of ahead of my peers. I had an MP3 player by the time I was in the fourth grade. Shamir aheadborefind share on social
I want people to listen to my music and everyone to feel included, and I think it's kind of working because all my audiences are always so colorful. Shamir audiencecolorfulfeel Change image and share on social
If you listen to most of my songs, the lyrics are pretty kind of dark, but I like to put it behind happy music because then it evens it out... I'm really happy, actually. Obviously I have my bad moments, but I always challenge myself to not put negativity out there because there's already enough. Shamir badchallengedark share on social
If you're 100% yourself, then you're going to be different no matter what. I have this self-honesty approach as opposed to an ego that a lot of musicians put up. I can be myself, and that's just enough to stand out. Shamir approachegohonesty share on social
I prefer to stay in if I have a choice. I lose energy being around people. I know that sounds horrible. Shamir choiceenergyhorrible Change image and share on social
I always surprise myself with my voice. A lot of people don't get it, and they're like, 'You can't sing. Stop. What are you doing?' And it's funny to hear a lot people say I sing in falsetto because it's not falsetto - that's my voice. Shamir falsettofunnyhear share on social
