Eye Ra Haze’s Natasha Singer Talks Being a Mom, Musician with Revolver Magazine

Revolver’s Zeena Koda interviewed Eye Ra Haze frontwoman Natasha Singer in the magazine’s May issue.

The two chatted about the band’s new EP Eye of the Storm, due June 11, juggling between being a wife/mom and musician, and being a woman in a male-dominated field.

A brief excerpt from the interview can be found below:

Have you ever had a situation dealing with the opposite sex in the industry or notions about who you are as a musician because you are a woman?

Definitely, two major things come to mind. First, the “all girl band” thought. They tried to get us a female drummer but it’s annoying dealing with people wanting to see that gimmick. This is a band, one that just so happens to have three women in it, but men as well. Second, having to disclose that I have a son to potential labels is unnecessary, and I thought to myself, No one ever asks a guy that–if they have a kid. Most male members in a band have wives and kids yet still go on tour, so even asking offends me. I don’t think that is a fair question because it is none of their concern–it’s my job and I have never not shown up for it. Think about it, is there much difference between going to work all day than working at night? Honestly, because of what I do, I actually get to be with my kid all the time. All my son’s going to remember is getting to spend time with both his parents, and he will definitely respect women–that’s for sure.
