With a sound shaped by online gaming and digital culture, her atmospheric pop and vulnerable storytelling connect with anyone who values realness.
But too often, artists like her get caught in a media trap where their personal lives overshadow their work. The press can spin stories out of half-truths or unverified details, pulling attention away from the art and making it harder to trust their authenticity.
Take stage names, for example. Artists like Lana Del Rey (born Elizabeth Grant), Miley Cyrus (Destiny Hope Cyrus), Elton John (Reginald Dwight), and Freddie Mercury (Farrokh Bulsara) use them to keep their private lives separate from their public personas. It’s not about hiding; it’s about letting their music take the spotlight. Yet, some call this “deceptive,” which feels unfair when it’s really just a way to protect themselves.
There’s also this pressure for artists to share every detail of their lives. If they don’t, people act like they’re being shady. Why is it so wrong to want some privacy? Setting boundaries should be respected, not dragged.
When the focus shifts to gossip instead of creativity, it hurts artists’ reputations and makes them less likely to open up. They share their art with the world not their entire lives. Respecting that lets their work shine brighter.
In a world where privacy is tough to hold onto, teaching internet safety, like not oversharing personal detaills is crucial. For artists, this is even harder because the media often cares more about juicy headlines than celebrating their craft. Stage names and public personas help them keep control and stay focused on their art. These aren’t tricks; they’re smart ways to set boundaries, and we could all learn from that in our own digital lives.
Encouraging everyone to respect privacy and focus on what matters art, ideas, or achievements builds a better, safer online world. It protects people and lets their contributions stand out without all the noise of unnecessary scrutiny.
