Meet Lavendair | Singer/Songwriter

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lavendair and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lavendair, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk has played a huge part in my life. Anything good that has ever happened to me has happened because I took a risk and did something different. In my family, I was once considered something of a black sheep, someone who was reckless and out of control. In reality, I was becoming something that they couldn’t fathom. My own person, making my own mistakes and triumphs. It shocked them but it didnt take long for the change I created to spread like a wildfire. Things were happening and people realized that it was genuinely okay to grow as a person and branch out into your most confident self. Someone who can say ‘I don’t care what you have to say to me, I’m doing my own thing’. I temper this, of course, with a warning, I can also listen and recognize wise advice that I take into account when making my decisions (sometimes). Also, don’t get me wrong, risk isn’t something that always pans out. I graciously accept those lessons and go about it another way.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a singer, and I would say a great way to describe my art would be: Love. Self love, romantic love, familial love, agape love. I haven’t had the best upbringing and it filled me with red hot and sometimes icy cool rage. I used to feel so numb, I would cut myself so that I could feel something that I controlled. I used to have the worst depressions, filled with teeming thoughts and low vibrations. starving myself because that’s what I used to have to do as a kid/teenager. My music started out pretty generic, R&B love, but as I grew I started writing about how all of that stuff felt. The more I wrote, the more I was able to come out of some of the survivor mode I was in. I started really living my life, doing things I’ve never done before and doing things that made me feel good. As I continued to write, I could see such a progression and I knew that I had to share it. I had to share in your lows with you, and reach out a hand to help you to your highs. I can be your yellow brick road to healing and letting go of that destructive anger. Follow Me.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many people that impacted my life, willing or unwillingly, thoughtfully and thoughtlessly, and I want to thank them all. I do not want to be known as a strong person, but if I ever was, it’s because of each and every lesson and triumph I’ve shared with each and every one of them.
