 d Events Clipse Aug 6 Sold Out! GRiZ Aug 7 Sold Out! Artists Freak Slug A 
 visual artist and painter as well as an unconventional\, self-taught songw
 riter and musician\, everything that fuels the creative output of Manchest
 er’s Xenya Genovese\, AKA Freak Slug\, is about raw\, authentic\, someti
 mes weird but always totally true self-expression. She’s not one to suga
 r coat things\; “I’m a lot\, so it’s a lot to show who I am because 
 some people might not like it\,” she accepts. But in amongst the mix of 
 an introverted extrovert\, self described “avoidant” Leo rising\, live
 s the sort of musician who can do nostalgic\, ‘90s influenced and dreamy
  as well as eccentric and experimental. Down there\, picking through the c
 urious mix of sounds and feelings\, lives Freak Slug. Having moved from Ma
 nchester to London to study Fine Art at university\, Genovese thought her 
 path was already set. “I’ve been doing art since I was young. It’s b
 een quite a surprise for me\, doing this whole music thing…” she says.
  In some ways\, the pivot to musician did sneak up on her. Where art was h
 er career (or so she thought)\, from the age of 15 writing songs had just 
 been a hobby\; an outlet where she could see where her mind went with no e
 xternal expectations. “From about 18\, I was making music alone - experi
 mental\, fuzzy\, lo-fi stuff\; embracing mistakes and recording through my
  Mac mic. I was inspired by unique sounds and music with loads of imperfec
 tions\,” she remembers. “It wasn’t what I thought I’d be doing so 
 I was just going with the flow. Having fun was my inspiration\, and seeing
  what I liked.” With a post-university move to Barcelona to pursue her a
 rt\, however\, came a turning point. Having previously vowed that she woul
 d never set foot on a stage (“God bless you and well done\, but it’s n
 ot for me”)\,\n\nhttps://www.theindependentsf.com/tm-event/freak-slug/
