Amy: Yeah, — nobody talked about it. Nick: Laughs Not that I know of. I get a little self-conscious because sometimes they look more attractive than I do.
Better makeup. Better outfits. Better boobs. I need to shop where they shop. Who gets hit on more often at these Pride events? Nick: Yeah, from a distance, me more. But when they get up close they just freak out over Amy. Nick, have you ever taken your shirt off at Pride? Nick: I have. It was Phoenix Pride. Well, it was hot. Have you ever been to a Karmin show? Not yet. Amy: Yeaaah! You started the trend, not me. The energy behind the music was about empowerment, self worth, and confidence, and I felt like I needed to call myself a queen in order to become one.
We put the V in there to differentiate from all the other queens of the world, but the V is also for vagina or female empowerment. Combining the two was me calling myself a queen but also not forgetting where I came from. Yes, and I think a lot of people were like "Wait, when was the wedding? They said it wasn't marketable, which was kind of ridiculous because it wasn't a secret that we were boos We bought our first house and got married in the backyard to save the label from their marketing disaster.
We just never had a public thing. Our families were so upset.

When I became Qveen, I felt bad for Nick since he was half of Karmin and was basically disappearing from the spotlight.

I don't want to say I won't ever work with a major label again, but I love the idea of being one of the first independent artists to do things on her own.
It's more exciting to me to pave the way and have control, because when you work with labels, they pay for everything and you have to surrender yourself to that contract. For me, it's more exciting to do this independently, or even start my own label that helps other artists establish themselves and make an actual living from music.

I would task my Black friends with explaining to me that everything was okay. Then, I started peeling back layers of Why? Why does this bother me? What is what was it that triggered those people? Since then, I've learned a lot more about the systems that America has in place to oppress Black people and people of color, and that as a white person making Black music, I need to be much more aware of and much more comfortable talking about that because silence is the most dangerous.
