I've recently discovered a really cool, unique new artist: Barbara Panther. Both her music and fashion are set to take the world by storm. Born in Rwanda, raised in Brussels and based in Berlin, Panther is able to cross musical boundaries with ease. Despite not really inspired by her background, she say's: “I’m intrigued by the universe, water and the moon, and their interdependencies, which is noticeable in both the record’s sound and theme”, and she touches on themes such as religion and ethnicity in her songs.
She also worked with German Designer, Larissa Hadjio, for her 2011 accessories collection and you can check out the video here. It is seriously epic stuff and there are some amazing pieces in the collection, including a hammerhead shark shaped bag.
Her debut album was released earlier this month and was incredible to listen to. It is a really unique record, and her video for Empire went down a treat as well. It's very different, and she's been compared to the likes of Bjork. Her sound is very futuristic, while her style is eccentric, so I can imagine her live shows to be amazing. I'm listening to the album as I type and it's nothing like anything you'd have ever heard before. Each track is as unique as the last and it's 12 tracks of pure awesomeness.
1: You have really unique style, how would you describe it? Me! An extract from what is, will be and always was!
2: Where do you get your style inspiration from? Honestly, from inside, looking outside, the
now which is past future and present. Ask me if I’d ever get married, I’d say no, I don't believe in
divorce, ask me if I believe in life, maybe, but I can't tell, I never died.
3: What was it like working with Larissa Hadjio and what was your favourite from the collection?
Larissa is my very good friend, she's always creative and working, I wish I had that energy and
discipline! My favourite bag of her collection is the Shark!
4: What can we expect when we see you live? You can expect me first of all, and when you hear
the sounds on the record live it will make it all the more true, real and unbelievable!
5: What's the next step for you? I'm leaving the world for a while, only to return wiser!

I also got the chance to ask her a few questions and her answers really are spectacular!
