By infusing her theatrical background into her sound, she has created a space where the avant-garde meets pop culture, inviting audiences to reconsider the role of identity and expression in their listening experiences. Her work encourages a visceral connection, often transforming performances into multi-sensory journeys that resonate with both humor and depth. Magnuson's approach is marked by a fearless experimentation, as she weaves together disparate influences and mediums to create an immersive atmosphere. Her artistic process embraces spontaneity, often incorporating elements from her visual art practice into her music, resulting in compositions that feel alive and unpredictable. This willingness to blur lines has allowed her to carve out a distinct niche within the broader landscape of contemporary art and music. Lyrically, Magnuson often explores themes of selfhood, societal expectations, and the absurdities of life with a voice that can oscillate between deadpan irony and sincere vulnerability. Her storytelling balances personal narratives with broader cultural critiques, allowing listeners to reflect on their own experiences while engaging in an ironic dialogue with the world around them.
