BACKGROUND:

kiran lee is the eldest daughter of two very typical parents, they had no idea that kiran's life would turn out the way that it did. though, maybe they should have because kiran has always wanted to be the center of attention since she learned how to talk.

as a child, her parents pushed her to find what she was good at and enjoyed doing after school, something that she could put herself into. that was when she found her love of music. she took lessons, joined school groups, and started preforming. and she loved every second of it.

kiran was skilled from a young age but she didn't know what to do with it until after she graduated. with the blessing of her parents, kiran took a gap year to see if she could make it in the music industry. with the agreement that she could go to america and spend a year trying, if she failed, she would come home and go to universty and get a real job. well kiran always loved a challenge and she was not going to fail

one year turned into two and so on. she has been back home to visit her family but she never went back to finish schooling. she joined a couple short lived bands before falling in with an up and coming tiktok band, do not disturb. that was the first time she really felt like she was going to make it with this dream

after years of trying to make it big, they were finally signed with a real label, it was like a dream come true. that is until the label started to change them and direct them to be what the label wanted. kiran didn't like this, she was always a bit too hard to swallow, but when the label pushed harder, tensions started to grow in the band. eventually she was dropped from the band

she was both heartbroken and pissed the fuck off. both at the label and at her ex bandmates for not sticking up for her. when the opportunity came to join another band with the label, she took it. mostly because she didn't want to give up and go back home, but also as a way to prove that the label and do not disturb made a huge mistake by kicking her out

kiran's personally can be seen as very superficial and fake. she doesn't really talk about her feelings or anything deep. but she's so friendly and outgoing that you would never realize that you know nothing about her but she knows everything about you

she can be a little abrasive. she'll brush it off as cultural differences but really she just has little patience for things and can come off as rude

MEDIA INTERVIEW:

tell us about yourself! where are you from and what has your life been like before now?

Kiran leans back in her seat, an easy smile on her lips, this definitely isn’t the first time she’s had to introduce herself to the label of a new band but she will make it her own. “Hi, I’m Kiran Lee, I’m 30 years old, I’m from Melbourne, Australia but have been living in America for the past few years. I’m the eldest of two with two brilliant parents, who are probably happy all of my music lessons growing up are finally paying off. But you could get all of that just by googling me; I’m sure what you’re really here for is the juicy stuff. What I like, what I hate, what makes me tick; well, you’ll just have to wait and see.”

what are you most looking forward to on the tour?

Media interviews were always a fun little game of how much you can share without telling the truth before it turns into a flat out lie. Thankfully, Kiran had some practice from years of lying to her parents about the parties and shenanigans she definitely didn’t get up to when she was going up. “Is it a cop out to say the music? I mean come on, weeks of performing with some of the best up and coming queer bands is like a dream come true! I just can’t wait to see everyone and see what this tour has in store for all of us.” hopefully one of the bands crashing and burning to the ground before they even make it back to the US. 

what inspired you to become a musician?

“Well my parents put me in music lessons as a kid, one of those old fashioned traditions of making your kids try a bunch of extra circulars until they find something they’re a genius at. I tried a few but music just came naturally to me. Classical piano, choir, orchestra; I loved it all, I loved performing and having the attention on me. It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I really started to find myself in music. Looking up to the great pop stars of the 2000s and 2010s, I knew that’s what I wanted to do. As I got older, I changed my sound a lot, joined bands that didn’t work out, got signed- and well,” she gives a fake sweet smile, “sometimes it takes awhile before you find a band and a sound that really works for you. Which is why I’m happy to announce that I’ll be joining Mulholland Drive on the Supernova tour this summer.”

what are the best and worst parts of fame?

BACKGROUND: tw parent death mention

born in montreal, canada, mickey didn't come in the world alone, born twenty minutes after her brother. michèle and michael, the jacquemin twins life has been anything but normal. they grew up with a single mom, their dad left when they were babies. they used to fight a lot and when he had an opportunity for a promotion at work he took it and moved to america, leaving the twins and their mom behind. they only saw him during summer breaks from school when they were younger

despite this, they were a happy little family. they were raised with the help of their grandparents, a life full of family and love. mickey's favorite memories from this time was when her mom would read her stories and tell her to dream big because life is meant to be special. mickey took this to heart and when she dreamt big, she dreamt for the stars

however, when the twins were ten years old, their mom passed suddenly. their aging grandparents were struggling to keep up with the two preteens, so they had to leave canada to live with their dad in chicago.

mickey doesn't hate her dad, there was resentment there of course, but she just loved her mom more. she was there and then suddenly she was gone

she started playing the piano as a teenager after her brother got into music first. she learned a bit of guitar but prefers the piano or keyboard. mikey made a couple garage pop punk bands over the years but he never wanted her to play with him. what a lame brother!! mickey didn't want to join your band anyway!

when she joined do not disturb, it felt like a dream come true. it started as something fun to do with friends but then they blew up on tiktok and were signed to supernova. the past three years have been a whirlwind

mickey hasn't been handling the fame well, while she loves preforming and being able to make music, she doesn't know how to handle the media and attention that comes with being famous.

she is autistic and has adhd, and although is decent at masking, there are moments where she doesn't feel like she can handle the pressure that has come with being a band that is blowing up, no matter how much she loves the band. she can often be found needing to decompress for hours after a show so to not let the anxiety take over. she obviously agreed to go on tour because she loves her friends but at times there is this little voice in the back of her head that wishes she was back home and living a more secluded life

her first language is quebecois french but learned english along with it. at times she does have trouble remember words in either language and will use words interchanged on accident

MEDIA INTERVIEW:

tell us about yourself! where are you from and what has your life been like before now?

“hi, i’m mickey,” she says with a lopsided grin. “I’m from montreal in the great land up north, though i did spend some time chicago growing up. growing up was… different.” mickey looks down at her hands for a second, fingers picking at the skin around her nail, trying to decide how much to talk about. She hated these media interviews. “My mom passed away when i was a kid so me and my twin brother moved in with our dad who we hadn’t spent much time with until then, so you can say it was different. But it wasn’t bad-” god, that feels forced, why did she agree to do this? “Anyway, yeah so i’ve been doing music for a few years before joining the band and it’s been a crazy ride ever since.” the smile she gives feels a little too forced but hopefully no one notices. 

what inspired you to become a musician?

“My brother,” she answers fondly, this was always one of the easiest things to talk about. “I have a twin, mikey. I know, mickey and mikey,” she laughs, “but he got into music first. guitar, bass, singing, he wanted to start a band as a teenager. I started playing the piano, more classical but i when i went more modern and composing, i wanted to join his band. but of course being a brother, didn’t want his lame sister to join. Which is fine, i’m totally not bitter because look where i am no bro,” she teased, looking at the camera with a smirk. 

if you had to have another job, what would it be?
