For Amber (Lead Singer)

How would you describe your artistic identity as a lead singer within an electronic band like Lost Mary X? Electronic music can feel very precise and controlled, and my role is to bring the imperfections—breath, emotion, vulnerability—into that space. My identity as a singer is about honesty rather than performance.

Your vocal delivery carries a strong emotional presence—how intentional is that in your creative process?
It’s very intentional, but not calculated. I don’t try to “sound emotional”; I try to be present. If the emotion is real when I record, it translates naturally. If it isn’t, I wait.

At this stage in your life, what stories or perspectives feel most important for you to express through music?
Right now, it’s about navigating change—growing up, feeling uncertain, learning who you are without having all the answers. I want to express what it feels like to be in between things, not fully formed yet.

How has being part of a band shaped you differently than pursuing music on your own?
Being in a band has taught me trust and restraint. I don’t have to carry everything myself. The music becomes bigger than my individual experience, and that makes it stronger.

What influences—musical or otherwise—have had the biggest impact on your vocal style?
Emotionally honest singers have influenced me more than technical ones. Outside of music, everyday moments—conversations, silence, late nights—shape how I sing just as much.

How do you protect your sense of self while putting such personal emotion into public work?
I remind myself that the song isn’t me—it’s something I created. I can share emotion without giving away my entire identity. That boundary is important.

What do you hope listeners understand about you after hearing a Lost Mary X record?
That I’m human, still learning, and not trying to be perfect. If they feel less alone after listening, that means everything to me.

For Lost Mary X

How did Lost Mary X form, and what originally drew the group toward electronic music?
The band formed through a shared interest in sound design and emotion-driven music. Electronic production gave us freedom—no rules, no fixed structure, just atmosphere and feeling.

Your work avoids traditional industry expectations—was that a philosophical decision or something that evolved naturally?
It evolved naturally. We didn't want to reject the industry; do you know how hard it is to use music on social media without getting muted or hit for copyright? Well we agreed to be royalty free for those people, so they can not be afraid of us thinking we'll sue them for using our music, we reject the "NORMAL" traditional  industry primarily because we  don’t want it shaping our image or intentions. Staying independent keeps the focus on our joy with the music itself.

How do you define success as a band outside of charts and mainstream recognition?
Success is creating music that connects, even quietly. If someone listens and feels understood, that matters more than numbers.

Can you walk us through your creative workflow in the studio?
Usually it starts with a texture or mood. We build layers slowly, leaving space. Vocals come in when the track feels emotionally ready, not when it feels finished.

How do you balance structure and experimentation in your production?
Structure gives the listener something to hold onto; experimentation keeps it alive. We move between the two until the track feels honest rather than polished.

What does the band name Lost Mary X represent conceptually?
It represents identity in flux—being “lost” without being broken. The “X” leaves room for interpretation, growth, and change.

How do you view your relationship with listeners in an era of short attention spans and rapid consumption?
We don’t chase attention—we respect it. If someone gives us their time, even briefly, we want it to mean something. The music is there when they’re ready.
