Exclusive Interview with The Uneasy

The Mind of a Musician: When did you make up your mind that you wanted to be a musician? 

I’ve wanted to be a performer for as long as I can remember.

About: The Uneasy

The Uneasy is an independent collaborative collective of like and unlike minded artists creating emotionally charged music and visuals. The Uneasy assembled in the Fall of 2020. Because its birth took place during one of the most uncertain and unprecedented times in our lifetime, the progression of this group is just as unorthodox as the time of its creation. We are influenced by all art, not just music and are inspired by what all genres of music have to offer. The brain, heart, and soul child of singer songwriter/creative director Emily Jean, The Uneasy isn’t any ordinary band. We are a vessel for unbridled creative expression. Touching on topics and themes dealing with the complexities of the human condition.

Please discuss how you interact with and respond to fans.

 As often and as genuinely as possible.

When performing and the crowd is singing along, how does that energy make you feel?

It is unlike any feeling I have ever felt. It is becoming one with the audience, total connection. The line between the band on stage and the audience dissolves and all you are left with are a group of open vessels sharing the same emotions/energy at the same time amplifying it in an undeniable way.  The feeling is pure and unmatched, it is the reason we do this.

What’s the biggest highlight of your career thus far?

The biggest highlight has been deciding to start making music again after taking some years off to address a serious substance abuse issue. It was very hard and scary to get back into it, but I am so glad that I did. Making music is such a big part of who I am. I didn’t realize how lost I was without it until I picked it back up again.

Is there a hidden meaning in any of your music?

There is always meaning, sometimes hidden in plain sight.

Which famous musicians have you learned from?

Amy Winehouse, Fionna Apple, PJ Harvey and Billie Holiday.

What makes a performance/song good? How do you judge a performance/song?

Any good song or performance should evoke emotion. It should move you in a certain way whether its feelings of elation, immense sadness or anywhere in between. If there is intention, emotion, and energy to execute the possibilities are limitless.

How often and for how long do you practice?

As often as we can.

Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to sing as a career?

No but I will take all the advice I can get.

Who helped you most in your journey?

My husband/manager he’s been with me through all my ups and downs. He encouraged me to start writing and performing after a very long hiatus. I was so hesitant to get back into something that in the past had created such a toxic environment for me. He assured me I had the strength to do it the right way this time. Now with his support we are recording our first full length record and playing as many shows as we can.

What would you do differently if you were to start over again from day one?

I would have followed my intuition more. Trusted myself instead of putting the opinions of others before my own.

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

I would put less pressure on artists to promote their music via obnoxious and time consuming apps like TikTok.

How would your peers describe you in the music industry?

Depends on what version of me they met.

How would the people closest to you describe you outside of the industry?

Loving, headstrong, fun, determined, eccentric, emotional and always extra.
