I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.
Melanie Martinez
Image
I think that every decision I make in my life is based off of an emotion - and it definitely hurts me in some situations, and helps in some situations, like obviously writing and stuff is my favourite thing to do because I get to use all of my emotions and express them in that way.

I listen to a lot of music. But I definitely haven't looked at an artist and like thought I want to have a song like this.
Melanie Martinez

I'm probably the most proud of Mrs. Potato Head, because I had that idea in my head for so long, and I tried writing that song one time and I just couldn't tell the story the way I wanted to, and I couldn't figure it out.

Basically it's the idea of celebrities being in the spotlight and just because you think that they should be perfect, that they're still human and they still have flaws just like everyone else. So that was the real meaning behind Dollhouse, at least how it related to me because it's something I was annoyed with at the time.

It's just weird because like when I was writing Cry Baby I like...the only thing that I was thinking about, when writing it, was the concepts and the visuals, and the way that it sounded kind of happened naturally.
Melanie Martinez

I think that the next album is specifically for sure from Cry Baby's perspective, but it's not necessarily about her family-life or her love-life, or anything like that, it's more about this place in this town. The place has different characters in there, so in every song there's gonna be different characters that appear.
Melanie Martinez
Image
Cry Baby is just a character in this world that I'm trying to create, and the music videos are really important to me, and I've fought to obviously get all of them approved.
Melanie Martinez
Image
If I don't see a music video to it while writing it, I just scrap it immediately. It's very visual.

Make sure this [music industry] is what you love to do, and you can't imagine doing anything else.
Melanie Martinez
Image
The title is the first thing that I have. Then when I have that title, I have to make sure that the title...is like, so...I have to make sure I can tell a whole story from that one title and like make sure that it, from beginning to end it makes sense.

[My style in three words] youthful, sweet, and diverse.

I think honestly when I was younger I use to love going to carnivals in Long Island. I use to love carnival season I would drive to every town going to carnivals. That was definitely a favorite memory.

There are obviously so many artists that are very inspiring, but I can't say that they like - that I have someone in mind that is like a creative direction of where I want to go as an artist. I think I'm just doing my own thing.
Melanie Martinez

A lot of people relate my success now with The Voice, and it has nothing to do with that. I've definitely worked my ass off for a year afterwards trying to get that off of my forehead. If anything, it's actually harder to get labels to look at you when you come off a show like that, and it's harder for people to look at you like a real artist.

I have definitely noticed I am very passionate. So if I'm fighting with someone I'll be SO super loud and aggressive, and make sure that my point is heard.
Melanie Martinez
Image
It's just interesting how people relate my success when I would like to think that I worked my ass off for a reason and that it's about the music and not because I was on a TV show.
Melanie Martinez
Image
I love Nicoletta Ceccoli , and I love Tim Burton movies. So those are like my biggest inspirations I think.
Melanie Martinez
Image
Cry Baby is a character so I think that the next album is going to be about a specific thing in her life or another place in her world. It's going to be a bit deeper into a bigger picture.

When I was younger I used to be really into photography, and I still am, I just don't really get to do it besides taking my own artists photos and stuff like that.
