ELLE (Australia)

WHAT WAS THE LAST…

IT’S THE LAST PAGE, SO IT’S ONLY FITTING THAT WE ASK AUSTRALIAN MUSICIAN (AND, THIS MONTH, THE HIGHEST-BILLED FEMALE DJ IN COACHELLA’S HISTORY) ALISON WONDERLAND

-

…THING YOU DID BEFORE LEAVING HOME TODAY?

I said bye to my dog, Molly. That’s the last thing I do pretty much every time I head out. …PARTY YOU WENT TO? The NBA All-star Weekend party, thrown by [hip-hop group] Migos in the carpark of Capitol Records in LA. Toast with honey. It’s not really cooking.

…THING THAT MADE YOU MAD?

A producer did a remix of one of my songs and didn’t tell me about it. I really liked the remix, so I wasn’t really mad, I was just like, “Dude, let me know – I would’ve posted about it.”

…HOLIDAY YOU TOOK?

To Maui, Hawaii, for a week. About three years ago!

…INVESTMENT PIECE YOU BOUGHT?

Some Bitcoin, after someone was telling me about it in Las Vegas. I limited the amount assuming I would lose it, but it ended up going up.

…TIME YOU SANG KARAOKE?

In Japan at the end of last year. It’s embarrassi­ng because I actually have a favourite karaoke song, “Word Up!” by Cameo, and it’s not even very cool.

…TIME YOU FELT REALLY HAPPY?

Today. I woke up very happy because I found out my song “Church” was the third most added song on Australian radio.

…SONG YOU PLAYED ON ROTATION?

“King’s Dead” by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future and James Blake.

…DRINK YOU ORDERED AT A BAR?

A dirty martini, at Chin Chin in Sydney.

…TATTOO YOU GOT?

I got two on the same day, one on my arm that says “Order” and “Disorder” because I feel the two are a never-ending cycle. The other is the cat from Sailor Moon, on my foot.

…POST YOU TAGGED SOMEONE IN? A video on @browncardi­gan.

…PIECE OF CLOTHING YOU BOUGHT? A Gucci wallet.

…TIME YOU WERE STARSTRUCK?

When I stood next to Kanye West at a Coachella party without realising it was him. We were like, “Hey, what’s up?” to each other, but I was so tired I didn’t realise... until he performed.

…GIFT YOU GAVE?

A vinyl record by this really awesome jazz musician, Keith Jarrett, for the director of one of my videos as a thank you.

…BOOK YOU READ?

The Inner Game Of Music by Barry Green. It’s about getting rid of an inner demon when you’re trying to perform, and letting go.

…THING YOU BOUGHT WITH CASH?

It was so long ago. I think it was a coffee.

…TIME YOU CRIED?

Watching Queer Eye For The Straight Guy the other night.

…TEXT MESSAGE YOU RECEIVED?

A video from [singer] Elohim, singing “Church” in a fake Australian accent.

…TEXT MESSAGE YOU SENT?

“Hahaha, can I post this?”

Alison Wonderland’s second album, Awake, is out April 6; alisonwond­erland.com
