      Mothica seems soooo down to Earth and humbled by her current success, her music and her vision are authentic and tell her story as a person that struggled with many things. Gabbie Hanna doesn't have that "vibe", she gives off a very entitled, not humble, out of touch person. But that's just my opinion. Gotta say I listened to Mothica's reseases right after the video and I like it much more than what Gabbie released

    Loved the interview. That’s awesome someone with no label can get massive exposure through tik tok. I looked into it and saw tik tok has an intellectual property policy. However, an artist who doesn’t own a copyright or trademark on their work could run into an issue if someone else takes credit for their work. It could be problematic.

    I found Mothica either in 2022 through "buzzkill" and then related to the acoustic version of "vices." I fell in love instantly and have been listening ever since. She was actually my top artist of 2023 which was no surprise for me and my friends. I hope one day to see her live and I'm so excited for all that she has done and her visual album. I didn't know this interview existed until I started watching Amanda/Swell over these last few months. I was so excited to get to know more about my favorite musician.
