How hobbies shaped their career
Early piano training by ear gave her the musical foundation for her songwriting. Jazz appreciation influenced her 'Cheek to Cheek' album with Tony Bennett. Horror movie fandom shapes her theatrical, provocative visual aesthetic. Her makeup hobby became a business (HAUS Laboratories). My Little Pony obsession planted the seed for her 'born this way' identity.
"I was obsessed with the idea of a creature that was born with something magical that made them the misfit in the world of the stallion."
