What did North West say about her future in music?
Asked for the worst advice she has ever received, North pointed to pressure to start her career later. “It’s like, nah, this is my hobby, this is what I like to do, this is what I wanna do with my life,” she told Dazed.
She released the six-track EP N0rth4evr in May and has already joined Molly Santana on stage at Rolling Loud and played her first solo festival set at Summer Smash. Performing, she said, feels “fun, relieving and exciting.” Her pre-show ritual is simple: she prays.
An ideal day, she added, would be rehearsal then studio time—or a big show. She is currently obsessed with rehearsing every day, including dance rehearsals, after previously preferring to “just see what happens.”
Which piercing does North West want but cannot get?
Piercings have become part of her look, often mixing real and faux pieces. “They just make you your full self,” she said. “I really want to get my bridge pierced, but I’m not allowed.”
She framed the ask as modest compared with peer trends. “Everyone’s in love with boys, vaping and doing all kinds of bad stuff,” she said. “All I want is blue hair and piercings.” Extra TV also highlighted those same comments from the Dazed sit-down.
Who inspires North West’s style and sound?
North said she identifies with Hatsune Miku—“That’s just my twin for real”—especially the blue twin tails that now define her look. On collaborators, she named Lil Uzi as a dream after calling Pink Tape life-changing, while also listing favorites like Bktherula, Baby Osama, and Babyxsosa.
If she were not an artist, she still wants to work. “I wanna work at, like, Starbucks next year… ’cause I’m gonna be 14,” she said, adding that she wants “a regular job” alongside the fame machine around her.
