As a female performer,I've had to face various obstacles/stereotypes over the years and the one that still overwhelms me the most must be the "show skin➡️accelerate your career" formula. As a person I'm not easy to impress,so cheap attraction tricks don't work on me and I don't use them either. _ I've spent tens of thousands during my 10 years of professional career, with no expectation to make it back, but not even once have I thought of exposing my body in order to manipulate my fans into buying merch or come to shows. Even when I was much younger/thinner/prettier did I ever use it. My family taught me to value my dignity and self-respect above anything else and fame is no different. _ I'm well aware I could have amassed more attention if I showed skin or made the proverbial (banal) bed+lingerie photo-shoot, but the mere thought of it makes me vomit. BTW I'm not a Christianity fangirl, just someone who won't succumb to trends and social pressure. The new wave of feminism -which never fails to appall me-, thinks public nudity is "empowering" and applauds all sorts of promiscuity.I just see attention-seeking snowflakes,sorry. _ Apart from that,I find that female musicians will never truly get credit for their talent/contribution if they keep using sex to manipulate the masses. I personally value ladies that look hot wearing full outfits and act normal, not like cats in heat. I'm an old-school romantic. I understand my attitude adds to the obstacles an independent artist has to face while building up their brand, but it's a conscious choice and I'd rather have that than doing something my family and, most of all, I wouldn't be proud of.I'd rather have a job than prostitute my soul. _ If you support nudity, artistic or not, that's also fine, I just wanted to point out that my fans will never see me do anything like that. I'll keep wearing geeky outfits with affection and keep pushing what I'm REALLY here for: my stories. I'm a storyteller after all🔮 #SelfLove _ #metalband #metalsinger #femalefronted #alternativemetal #femalefrontedmetal #femalefrontedband #alternativemetal #popmetal #gothicmetal #metalgirl  #gothicgirl #electrorock #heavyrock #electrometal
