The way they bring all of this together is so inspiring. It’s so interesting that this band started off as a metalcore band! They are an American band that uses a lot of dance grooves, electronic beats and effects. There’s so much artistry in her performance. Her screams are so solid and then when she switches to melody, it feels like it’s piercing and penetrating my soul. It’s their vocalist Maria Brink which I love because her live performances are so emotional. Most people probably have heard of In This Moment. Her vocals are so energetic and she utilizes a lot of irregular rhythms which I love. I just love the power in the musicĬ with their insane drumming and catchy guitar riffs.

Haha…I remember I was supposed to be Mickey Mouse in a school production serving people dinner and singing at the same time.” While she was acting in school productions she was also messing around with a few friends playing music together. Her road into music started earlier than that. She was so generous about sharing her wisdom with me. “She was always there for me both as a tutor and a good friend. “She basically opened the door for me by teaching me all the basic skills, especially patience, I needed to grow to the next level.” To this day, Ah Nan remains an important person in Jacey’s life for whom she’s eternally grateful for. It was under Ah Nan’s tutelage that Jacey began to understand and appreciate the art of tattooing. By meeting Ah Nan and the way she took Jacey under her wings, Jacey was suddenly provided with the best possible path to begin her journey as an artist. This turned out to be a poignant moment in her life because, through beautiful serendipity, a female artist named Ah Nan knocked on her proverbial door. She didn’t know what opportunities laid ahead for her with the skills and education that she had picked up. This uncertainty is something that most youths in Hong Kong feel once they complete their education – the options for life after aren’t pretty. While researching for this, Jacey shared that upon graduating from art school she felt lost about her future.
