Seven Questions In Heaven With Tayisha Busay

Two weeks ago, we featured the video for Tayisha Busay's "Heartmeat/Lovemuscle" as our Song Of The Day. Since I was totally mesmerized by the video, it was only natural we'd spend Seven Questions In Heaven with the band.

Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
Imagine if Cyndi Lauper and The B-52's had some sort of queer love child with The Spice Girls and Nirvana, and then the love child decided to produce strange electro-dance pop songs for all of her little friends and their choreographed dance parties. It's electro-pop/dance-bop.

Who are your musical influences and idols?
Idolizing other artists is a big commitment, but we are lucky to come from a generation where influences came easy and everything on TV in the '80s and '90s was inspiring in some way. Everything from the late, dear Whitney Houston to shows on Nickelodeon to Bikini Kill to La Bouche to Devo. Big '80s camp and dirty '90s grit.
