DJgoldierocks：今天我參加來(lái)參加對(duì)MistyMiller的采訪，Miller你好！
MM：你好！
DJG：..還有樂(lè)隊(duì)！你那么年輕，但你已經(jīng)走進(jìn)娛樂(lè)圈很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間，也寫(xiě)了很久的歌。
MM：我十三十四歲時(shí)開(kāi)始寫(xiě)歌時(shí)，然后15歲時(shí)做第一張專輯，從那時(shí)起我開(kāi)始彈吉他，我現(xiàn)在19歲了，準(zhǔn)備好與這些人制作下一張專輯。
DJG：你是從尤克里里開(kāi)始的，對(duì)嗎？
MM：是的，這是我爸爸給我的，開(kāi)始時(shí)我其實(shí)不知道什么是尤克里里，所以一開(kāi)始并不像是我想去彈它，但那將是一個(gè)偉大的想法u2013當(dāng)時(shí)只是在我的房間里，所以我想開(kāi)始寫(xiě)歌，然后我就用它作為一種工具，那是真的寫(xiě)歌。然后在錄制完第一張專輯我很快地轉(zhuǎn)移到了吉他。
DJG：在這樣具有藝術(shù)氛圍的家庭長(zhǎng)大，你認(rèn)為那對(duì)你的音樂(lè)風(fēng)格產(chǎn)生了什么影響嗎？
MM：我不知道，這只是一種自然的感覺(jué)，我認(rèn)為這是在這一行業(yè)中我的性格，我只是很享受錄音室，或是演出、旅游和其他的什么，但我認(rèn)為這是那些激發(fā)我u2013其實(shí)不是我的家人u2013但更多的是我與之相處的人和我的朋友。
我從大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，唯一和我一起出去的人是那些樂(lè)手，我意識(shí)到他們是在做他們享受的事情，而當(dāng)時(shí)我做的并不是我真的享受的東西，這也使我意識(shí)到我不在乎其他的東西，我會(huì)做我想做的u2013雖然這首先被貼上了困難的標(biāo)簽，但你知道一年半以后，這變成了我的工作。
有一件我能肯定的事，我不想只是成為另一個(gè)背著原聲吉他的女孩，但那就是我天性使然。那些所有關(guān)于民謠的，LauraMarling（英國(guó)著名民謠曲風(fēng)代表人物）的事情，那些是我再也不會(huì)涉獵的東西，而且我也并不想被分類成那樣，因?yàn)槟遣皇俏乙龅氖隆?/p>
DJG：在世界任何地方，任何地方u2013如果你能一邊表演一邊生活，你會(huì)去哪里？
MM：哦，我不知道，（對(duì)她的樂(lè)隊(duì)說(shuō)）你們沒(méi)有自己的答案嗎？哦，你們是不想說(shuō)……你會(huì)去哪里，丹？
丹（里昂）u2013我會(huì)在Karachi（巴基斯坦的最大港口）演奏！
杰克（埃弗雷特）u2013我不知道，法國(guó)？
MM：我想去墨西哥。是的，墨西哥！我一直想去墨西哥，所以這是我的答案。
