A visual artist and painter as well as an unconventional, self-taught songwriter and musician, everything that fuels the creative output of Manchester�s Xenya Genovese, AKA Freak Slug, is about raw, authentic, sometimes weird but always totally true self-expression. She�s not one to sugar coat things; �I�m a lot, so it�s a lot to show who I am because some people might not like it,� she accepts. But in amongst the mix of an introverted extrovert, self described �avoidant� Leo rising, lives the sort of musician who can do nostalgic, �90s influenced and dreamy as well as eccentric and experimental. Down there, picking through the curious mix of sounds and feelings, lives Freak Slug.
