As seen in the Hatchet Herald:
I recently had a chance to sit down with the very lovely, very talented, very beautiful, but very dangerous Miss Blahzay Roze for a quick and personal interview where we talked about her EXTREMELY controversial music video “White Lights”. FUCK all the rumors and controversy all the rumors and controversy, Blahzay Roze has grown into a powerhouse here at Psychopathic Records while her debut album “Broken” is flying off shelves. Being the first female artist on the label, she’s really set the bar high if ever another girl that comes along.
Mr. X:
You just had a new music video drop this past January for your song “White Lights”. Many out there speculate on your personal stuggle with domestic violence, could you share with us how much of the song is actually based off your real life experience?
B.Roze:
Unfortunately, I grew up in a household plagued with domestic abuse. My mother started dating a man when I just was 8yrs old. He would get violently drunk and fight my mom. Make her hit us and stuff. When I got older I promised myself I would never be in that situation. In 2013, July 4th I was attacked by my boyfriend (Now Ex). It was terrifying. I could write a book about the experience. I’m so sorry to any woman who’s going through something like that.
Mr. X:
During the shooting of your music video “White Lights” were there any parts particularly hard to get through? Did the memories of abuse linger?
B.Roze:
Though the entire song is very emotional for me. Mostly because I think about my mom and watching her get hit. The experience of filming this particular music video was almost uplifting in a way, strengthening. I worked with an amazing crew including the famous Ryan Archibald & Jumpsteady himself.
Mr. X:
How were you able to grow up and overcome in an environment with such abuse happening on a daily basest?
B.Roze:
Well, I’m not ok by any means. I suffer from extreme mental disabilities. In 2013, when my now ex-boyfriend got physical with me or should I should say it like it should be said, no sugar coating, excuse me when my ex-boyfriend beat the living shit out of me, I had amazing friends and a haunting background to motivate me forward and away from that situation.
Mr. X:
Just so people aren’t confused, what was your overall gaol and message behind the making of “White Lights”?
B.Roze:
I’m done with violence of this kind or any other, to go on seemingly unnoticed. Almost swept under the carpet like somebodies cried wolf too many times. No, these human beings need help. Serious help. Not just the people getting out of a situation and becoming free but the mother fuckers who actually think it’s fucking ok to ever, ever, put your god damn filthy hands on another human in domestic abuse. I’m not staying quiet. I never will. I’m throwing it right in their fucking faces. Bam Bitches. Hungry? Here’s a nice hot plate of fucking reality.
Mr. X:
Any final thoughts or words of advice for people stuck in abusive relationships?
B.Roze:
You can do it. I don’t know how many times your friends and family have told you that you can, maybe they never have but, I know one thing…. You fucking can. You can be independent, you can live life to its fullest without being held down (Physically) or back from experiencing the beauty of life. I feel like a lot of people are not just trapped because of an abuser but because of a symptom of the abuse, anxiety. It manipulates you severely. Tell me, how many times have you said “I’m doing it I’m gonna leave him.” & then the other part of your brain comes up with a reason not to, a fucking excuse. One after another until you’re stuck in a ruthless fuckin cycle you can’t get out of. Ask for help! Stop making excuses. If you’re afraid for your life get the fuck out of there. Go anywhere. Call any of the hotlines. There are people you don’t even fucking know waiting with open arms to just help you! & for everyone else. Take care of yourselves & each-other.
