Once I discovered how important writing music was to me and just what a huge weight it lifted off of me, I knew that it was going to be the biggest part of my life, the biggest love of my life, the biggest thing in my life. Banks bigdiscoverhuge share on social
When I'm writing, it's the weirdest thing: it's not even a conscious process. I'm not even thinking when I write, and then all of a sudden, I'll have a song that makes me feel so much better than I did before. Banks consciousfeelmake share on social
I'm very passionate, very emotional, very sensitive. I've always been like that. Banks emotionalhavepassionate Change image and share on social
It's a big theme throughout my music to just embrace everything about your own mind and to always feel powerful. It's not just a feminine thing, but for men, too, whether they feel weak, or strong or crazy or reclusive. I want everyone to feel powerful no matter what little beasts they have in their head.

When I'm in show mode, I can't even think about putting on makeup; I just have to be centered. Banks centermakeupmode Change image and share on social
I got into writing music when I was, like, 14 or 15. It was a very private thing for me because I used it as an outlet and emotional release. I kept it very close to myself and didn't tell too many people about it. Banks closeemotionalmusic share on social
It's funny because everyone says, 'Oh you're reclusive; you don't do social media,' but it's not about being reclusive. I like direct contact, and I like contact that's purposeful. Banks contactdirectfunny Change image and share on social
I've never really been into social media - I don't have a Facebook; I don't do Twitter or Instagram or anything. Banks facebookhaveinstagram Change image and share on social
I grew up in L.A. I actually grew up in the Valley, which was a pretty amazing place to grow up because everybody has nice, big backyards, and I was kind of a little nature being. Banks amazebackyardbig Change image and share on social
