albums far musical single sounds types
As far as long-term goals, one of my favorite artists ever is Tegan and Sara, because every single one of their albums sounds different. Or Beck. I want to be like that because I come from so many different types of musical backgrounds.

As far as influences, I listen to a lot of people like Nina Simone and other androgynous voices, almost to make me feel like I'm not alone.

I'm naturally androgynous. I don't wear makeup or skirts.

I'm just, 'Hi, I'm Shamir. I'm gonna sing, hug you, then you can buy my album.'

action amazing bake boys cars easy figures grew mad mom peculiar people playing toy weird
I had always been a really peculiar child. My mom would tell you I grew up roughing it with the boys and playing with action figures and toy cars and stuff, but I also had an Easy Bake Oven... I find it amazing that in a really weird way, people are mad that they can't figure out my gender.
prefer sounds stay
I prefer to stay in if I have a choice. I lose energy being around people. I know that sounds horrible.
bunch high likes runs singer trying using work
I don't think I'm a singer that likes to flex my vocals. I'll do some runs and a bunch of high notes, but that's it. I really pride myself and I really work on just trying to sing. Like emotions. Just using my voice, not doing anything extra.
range type wide
I'm not in a certain type of genre, and I can't be categorized or pigeonholed. That leaves a wide range of what I can do for myself, for other people, and with other people.
good music
I just want to make good music. That's it. That's what I care about.
boy dress felt life wear
I never felt like a boy or a girl, never felt I should wear this or dress like that. I think that's where that confidence comes from because I never felt I had to play a part in my life. I just always come as Shamir.
I wanted to be a rebel so badly.
audiences music people
I want people to listen to my music and everyone to feel included, and I think it's kind of working because all my audiences are always so colorful.
naturally time
I wear menswear all the time. I don't do anything to make myself look more feminine. I naturally look and am more feminine.
