Polyester had a chat to the lovely Helen Croome (aka Gossling) recently. We asked her about everything from festivals and collaborating to probing her about her fashion and beauty secrets.
I’ve read that you have plans to
pursue more TV and film work. Would you be able to elaborate on that? What role
does having Hazard featured on American Horror Story play in this decision?
I majored in Film Composition at
University so I have a keen interest in composing music specifically for TV,
advertising, film etc. I have been able to pick up a few jobs here and there
and combine writing for Gossling with writing music for iPad apps, a TV commercial and short film. Having a Gossling song picked up by a US television
series was incredible. It's always been a goal of mine.
You have spoken about
collaborating in the past. If you could collaborate with anyone who would it be
and why?
I'd like to collaborate with James Vincent McMorrow. I think he has
great songwriting and arrangement ideas and would love to work with him.
You are
compared to Julia Stone fairly often. Do you hear the similarity yourself? Are
you a fan of Julia’s work?
I can hear the similarities and I know a bit of
her work. I'm not really bothered by comparisons. It's a common thing to
compare an artist with another artist in order to describe their sound.
Do you
do your own hair for when you are performing?
Yes, I
do my own hair and makeup 99% of the time.
If you
could only use on make-up item for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Concealer
for sure!
What
style of clothing do you like to wear on stage?
I like
to wear short, full skirts. I like to show a bit of leg, but it's hard to wear
a short, straight skirt on stage and not flash everyone while sitting at the
piano!
What
beauty product / secret do you live by?
Having
clean hair gives me confidence.
Who is
your favourite fashion designer?
I'm a
big fan of Melbourne designer Kuwaii.
Who are
you looking forward to seeing at Peats Ridge Festival?
Peats Ridge Festival 29th Dec- 1 Jan you can buy tickets here.
