Raised in Los Angeles? San Fernando Valley, Banks began writing songs around the age of 14, primarily as a form of personal therapy. ?When I first started writing, music saved my life,? she explains. ?It?s the language I?m most fluent in.? While she has fond memories of her dad blasting Dead Can Dance, she gravitated toward artists like Fiona Apple, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Eartha Kitt, and Brandy?all women to whom she has been compared?because of their raw honesty.
