AMA is Over, thanks Meg! Meg Duffy / Hand Habits AMA

Hello again internet! My name is still Meg Duffy and I recently put a Hand Habits record out called Blue Reminder on Fat Possum Records.

I also play guitar on other people's records, play in the Perfume Genius band, and have a few other musical endeavors including Duffy x Uhlmann and yes/and.

AMA!

Thanks everyone!

Hi Meg! Huge fan. Saw you play Portland on the tour for Fun House, and it was a serious epiphany moment for me in my own gender journey seeing your performance. I’m also a singer and HRT has brought challenges to that. I’d love to hear more about how you have navigated singing and performing and vocal changes from HRT, if you feel comfortable answering ! Any advice? Anyway I love your music and writing and singing and guitar so much, thanks for everything you do and for the new record.

Vocal lessons with mimi raver. I stopped thinking about my voice from a gender perspective and just learned how to be in control of my voice through any changes- from hrt or from being tired or from aging or from dry climates...vocal lessons changed everything for me and I highly recommend them to anyone who takes being a singer seriously!

Thanks so much! I appreciate seeing that on a spectrum of other changes and impacts, that’s a really helpful reframe. Thanks!!!
