Trespassing With…Asami

Name: Asami

Occupation: Struggling musician, struggling audio production student,

Describe your sound: not too pop, not too rock, not too acoustic and not too folk, but a mishmash of all of the above.
What is the track Sweeter about? Did anyone in particular inspire the song? Well, as cheesy as the song sounds in parts, it’s not really a love song. It’s more about changing your perception on things and how the new found realisations that come from that are “sweet”. Then again, perhaps I should just say it is a love song.

Press play to listen to Sweeter by Asami:

An event or song/film/album that first made you fall in love with music: I never really had the chance to fall in love with it. It’s like how I never fell in love with my… elbow? My music has always just been there whether I like it or not.
I love music because: Continuing on from the above question… like the elbow, I am happy that it’s there. It’s my way of self expression, without anyone really having to know what’s going on inside my head.
A song I wish I wrote: I Will Always Love You. I know Whitney didn’t write it, but wow, what an amazing song.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Oh no, face to face with my 30^th birthday.
The best meal I’ve ever had was… Once I went camping and I had a peanut butter, brie and cucumber sandwich which totally blew me away. Then I recreated the sandwich at home and it was nothing special at all. It’s funny how that happens.
Three songs currently on my playlist… For You, Angus and Julia Stone, I’m In Here, Sia, Now The Rain Is Falling, Little Birdy (it’s actually Sweeter but I can’t write that…)
What would we find in your refrigerator? Gosh, food etc.
I wish I had the superpower to… this is boring but clean without actually having to.
I have a crush on… luckily no one, it takes way too much effort.
What would you do if you had a time machine? Quite possibly nothing, I’d be so afraid changing “fate”
The last time I laughed so hard was… awesome.
WOO! I just rubbed a lamp and a genie popped out: Run away.
People I admire most: People who understand themselves.
Greatest achievement to date? Hmm, surviving an Asian childhood in a white society. Haha. No, perhaps it was when I grew up and started appreciating what I had.
What are you doing right now (aside from answering these marvellous questions): putting off going to school
The best advice I ever received was from: my mother and she said: be thankful you can wee in the morning.
Pay a stranger a compliment: nice hair!
Let me tell you something…. I don’t actually like sweets that much.
