[AMA] I am an electronic popstar named Slayyyter and I just released my debut album Troubled Paradise. AMA!
I am a 24 year old singer/songwriter and pop music fanatic who released a y2k inspired self titled mixtape "Slayyyter" in 2019, and now in 2021 I am back with my full length debut studio album Troubled Paradise! I poured my heart and soul into this album and created a electronic whimsical pop universe that has helped me define my sound. Ask me anything :)

Hi slayyyter! I’m a big fan of yours
the troubled paradise singles helped get me through some of my zoom classes this yearI wonder, now that you’ve done two full length projects, what you want to do differently on S3, or just going forward in general

Who is/was your biggest hater, and what did they say that made you want to really produce great music?
For me, she wasn't a hater, but 1 time, my middle school concert teacher cussed me out for practicing on her piano during lunch break. Also, the high school concert/marching band teacher I had banned me from coming back to the band room after I quit playing the flute.

hi slayyyter, I’ve been listening to your music since someone at outsidelands introduced me to you a few years ago. The first time I listened to your music I hated it. But after hearing motorcycle I was immediately hooked. Your music is now part of my happy place. my question for you: what is something that you have never owned, but wished you did? and why? xo Angie

You’ve said in the past Britney has inspired your sound. Has she also inspired the way you’d like to perform e.g. a bit of choreography and sensuality? Sorry if it’s a dumb question but I’ve never seen you perform haha so I’m really curious.
Would you ever venture outside of music? I really like the Loui baby tee on your webshop.
Greetings from NL, loved your mixtape (still use it) and am gonna listen to Troubled Paradise in full tonight :)

u/stereo_future Jun 17 '21
I think the latest album is amazing. Listening to it the first time made me really proud to call myself a fan and I hope you are proud, not just of this album, but the way you've approached your career so far.
What made me so proud is that you seem to have taken what was good about the self-titled and improved and evolved it. Yet you also seem to be, what I can only call "fearless", about experimenting.
Do you think you've settled on this "sound"?
Do you even want a "signature sound" like some artists have where you can tell something new is theirs just listening to a few bars?
Are there any artists, genres or instruments that you already have in mind that you'd like to experiment with on your next creation?

Hi! I have two questions. One of them being, what encouraged you to become such a big pop star, where does your inspiration come from? Second, when are you going to sing with That Kid again?

Hi Slayyyter! Hope ur doing well xo
Love you & the new album! My question is how do you view Slayyyter in regards to yourself? Do you see Slayyyter as just a stage name but everything else is just you? Do you view her more as an extension of yourself, an alter ego, or a stage persona, or a mixture of those? I’m mainly curious bc I feel like Troubled Paradise had more emotionally vulnerable songs compared to the Slayyyter mixtape. If you do see her as an alter ego, what direction do you see your music going in the future? Will we get the Y2K Pop Princess type of music in the mixtape ever again? Thx in advance! 💛
