Banana Interview: The RIELL Deal in Indie Music

Imagine a symphony of carmine red, winter chills, and the ethereal glow of twilight. This is the essence of RIELL’s music—bold, intense, and beautifully haunting.

Today, we dive into the mind of an artist who’s able to balance melodies, her personal life, and the relentless demands of a musical career.

The RIELL Deal in Indie Music

From the euphoria of quitting a despised day job to the surreal experience of working with TheFatRat in Dubai, RIELL shares the moments that have defined her journey.

Name a color, a season, and a moment of the day that describes your music. Ex: My music sounds pink, like a morning in spring.

My music sounds like carmine red, winter, and twilight.

What has been the most memorable moment in your musical career so far?

The day I was able to quit my non-music job that I hated was very special for me. It’s tied with the day I flew to Dubai to work on TheFatRat‘s album Parallax (2021).

⚖️ How do you balance your personal life with the demands of being a musician?

It’s a constant balancing act – one I’m not sure I always do well. For me, the demands are mostly mental so staying in a good headspace by practicing self-care and mental health managing strategies is key.

Is there a specific place or environment that inspires your songwriting the most?

Traveling really inspires me to write and being around other creatives brings out my desire to create. Writing trips are my favorite.
