Raw Passion With BILLIE-JADE

Interview by Kris Peters
Australian self-proclaimed metal diva Billie-Jade is counting down
the days until the release of her debut EP XI:XI, an album both raw
and unapologetically honest full of attitude and spunk while still
maintaining an air of vulnerability.
After releasing her first single Horror Haus not long after
electing to perform as a solo artist back in 2016, Billie-Jade has
hardened and refined her sound over recent years with the help of
Grammy-winning producer/mixer Mitchell Marlow (New Year’s Day, In
This Moment, Stitched Up Heart).
Since tasting earlier success with Hatchet Dawn and Diamond Noir
before going solo, Billie-Jade knows what it takes to be heard in
the music industry and has channelled all of that rage and
experience into her first solo outing XI:XI which will be released
on April 19.
HEAVY caught up with Billie-Jade to find out more.
"I'm so excited," she enthused. "This has been a long time in the
making. I did try to go over (to L.A.) for another writing session
during COVID and got sent back (laughs). It's been a long time, and
I'm just so excited to put out the ideas. There was one track I
wrote in a writing session with Mitch when I first met him, which
is Scream. That's the first track on the EP, and the rest I wrote
with him later on. I'm just so excited to get all those ideas out
together as an EP."
In the full interview, Billie-Jade discussed her upcoming debut EP
XI:XI in greater detail, providing insights into the creative
process behind each song and the personal significance of the
title. She emphasized the empowering themes of her music and the
importance of working with a producer who understands her vision
and more.
