The Huffington Post: You've been known for your more singer-songwriter/piano-based music. What triggered the move towards electronic music?
Our Lady J: Although my training, my love, and most of my career has been in classical and acoustic music, I've learned to embrace technology. As a transexual and as a person living with HIV, it's the thing that keeps me alive. Every cell in my body has been modified by science and I'm partially made up of plastic. I am quite literally a modern android. And yet I'm a living being with a soul. I wanted to convey that in my music, so I employ a combination of acoustic and electronic instruments. I'm exploring that place where our inherent spiritual nature meets our modern desire for the artificial and supernatural. I call it "SPACEAGE WITCHCRAFT."
