Biography

g@realwwoman.com It’s been a pandemic for decades in the busy brain of wwoman’s g smee, a lifelong mysophobe. Irrational fears led to abnormal fixations as a child. By grade school, he was refusing to wear his favorite clothes to avoid compromising the fabric, and was covering perceived imperfections w/ his mother’s makeup. Maybe most extravagantly, g believed blinking generated a photograph that would be compiled into an eternal film after death, which left him blinking deliriously. g channeled energy spent on these fixations into an obsession with creation. He began to produce music as wwoman from the isolation of his bedroom—the name came from an early critic saying he sounded like a woman when singing. He possesses the mindfully directed drive that can only come from an addict or an obsessive. He is open about his mysophobia + emetophobia—fear of contamination, fear of vomit/vomiting respectively. Lucky enough, he has no fears inviting the world in. And his musical goal is simple—affect listeners—achieved easily through the polarizing sound of his vocals. g operates in extreme ways. Last fall he acted on an impulse to run 28 miles early one morning in attempt to recapture his slipping focus. He couldn’t walk for 3 days, suffered a hip injury, trauma to his feet and abdominal wall, but described himself as “free from inertia.” It’s clear there are challenges ahead, but we can count on his continued journey of creation—both as part of the obsession, and part of the cure.
