for quite a while now, how do you
think things have evolved?
We’ ve b e e n i n i t f o r a l o n g t i m e a n d

change because I think the power now
is with the listener or the fans. The
power used to belong to the record
labels and the radio channels but

it was just an animal. It was a jellyfish,
a fox and the jellyfish and we removed
the rest and decided to keep the face
and it somehow became the Seafox.

is and her daily journey of finding her
partner and her place in this world.
