- 30 May 2013 -- Claire Boucher, better known by her stage name Grimes, is a Canadian artist, musician, and music video director. In her exclusive interview for Hunger TV Grimes talks never performing in front of her friends, the 'vapid' fashion industry, her admiration for artists such as Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga, and how she 'engineered' her own stardom as the brand, 'GRIMES' ..
A native of Vancouver, Grimes began recording experimental music while attending McGill University in Montréal, where she became involved with the underground electronic and industrial music scene.

The whole "I could do it in front of 5000 people but not 5 people" thing is so me
Really?
Lori G yeah cause when there’s so many people the faces just kinda blend together it almost doesn’t feel like you’re in front of people but when its 5 people its more personable
me too, i've been singing live for more than 50,000 people in a band, wearing masks and costumes, and i cannot even sing for my family just as I am, , its crazy and sad at the same time
i wish i was like that.
Same
I think when people are saying that she is arrogant, conceited, or too self involved, I think this is an unfair criticism.
She has said previously that she is naturally introverted and struggles with explaining herself in a public speaking format. Therefore her thoughts are clogged by nervousness, and thus the things she says do not represent what she actually thinks.
Additionally, introverted people may feel the need to re-emphasize their ability because they are aware of the awkwardness, and thus exaggeration is the only way to make oneself appear "normal".
I think she is stellar cool, I do miss her pastel hair but I would love to hang out with her. She's great in my opinion.
Basically hit the nail on the head
Thank you :)
this is such a good analysis,dang
She is arrogant, conceited, and too self involved... But thats ok, that's what people like in her and her music
@@-_Nuke_- theres a difference between that and just knowing your shit tho
People who hate on her do not understand the depth of her thoughts and probably don't know what has formed her into the person she is today. She has been this cool for so may years and she is still evolving. Love her mind.
She is interesting because she's real sensitive and sincere about it
i feel the opposite ...people like bowie killed off ziggy ..she hasnt killed off grimes
Hopefully you’ve found enough depth by now to realize that she is shallow. She’s as deep as a teen stoner “philosophizing”.
grimes is just the most fascinating person to analyse, everything she says is just so real but then so fantasised. i love her
Sian Palmieri exactly
I agree so much♡♡♡♡♡♡
what is wrong with the people on here? On every fucking video, people are commenting blatantly rude things about her. Grimes is unique and beautiful. there is no other artist like her. she is a true musician. I completely understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you don't like her, or her voice, or her hair, or her music etc., then simply don't say anything.
i agree with u 100%
cybersullied I agree with you, but in a lot of ways, hatred is more of a compliment then complete indifference. So don't see it as a bad thing.
I think that Grimes is severely misunderstood. This happens to creative people a lot of the time because verbal communication is something that must be practiced. A lack of social interaction and locking yourself away to concentrate on your art can make it difficult to find the proper words to explain things. Solitude also allows your mind to wander off to places it can't when you're surrounded by people and from a societal point of view, it can easily come across as delusion, but maybe its enlightenment. And the reality is the more REAL friends you have and the more time you spend with people, the more you lose that creativity. It's a sad situation but sometimes artists have to make that compromise. I like Grimes and I personally think she actually doesn't realise her value. The life of an artist is sadly not always an elegant one. :(
* claps *
*explodes*
Brinley ze well-spoken individual, right on point.
Mistyisland thanks. ;)
secularspecter thank you. :D
Grimes must be the coolest girl in the world
Her eyes are gorgeous
Yaaas a Florence fan who likes grimes too xxxx
hello fellow flow :)
she's so freaking funny they weren't even asking her questions she was just rambling she's adorable 😂
they do but they cut it out .. i think
+steph renee no they didnt cut it out here. i mean they normally do, but the majority of the time, she was rambling on lol. its cute
what is editing
+Katie Schmidt It's actually a common technique to edit out the questions during an interview. I fail to believe she was stream of consciousness the whole time.
she's an introverted artist, that's why. True talent right here.
I love her, She's actually normal and I dont feel intimidated by her.
Are you usually easily intimidated?
She is not normal at all haha but in a good way
@@It_Wuz_Ali3ns I think she has her quirks, but she's much more real than most "normal" people imo
wtf kinda compliment is that
lol
It's cool that you can tell she over-talks a lot due to nerves. Adds a relatable humility
When I heard about Elon Musk and Grimes, I was like "what a weird-ass couple", now it's more "what a perfect couple"
Same
Yeesss)
Yup
he doesn't deserve her
@@frogfrog1908 lol, he's the greatest human on earth...
These comments are shameful. It just shows how little most people understand socially awkward/shy people. She is obviously struggling to elaborate her thoughts into words and all you people can do is pick her apart? Cut some slack, cmon.
she doesn’t seem shy......
I don't see any negative comments
@@dumbratbtch953 She is.. she's an introvert and even said it's hard for her to talk on camera and took a long time to be comfortable in doing so.
@@thomasrainbow shes extrovert shes literally enfp
I really like this grimes she is different & seems like an interesting young woman..
she's extraodinarily brilliant, .. it's apparent even in her interviews. not a cookie-cutter artist, she's got a vision and it translates strongly in her music :)
I love her lisp
I get so inspired whenever I watch Grimes interviews
Her in that black hair is a mood. She looks like a cute french lady. Bc she is
Didn't know that she produces all her own stuff, impressive.
How could you not know that, seriously?
She writes, produces and masters all of her stuff. She directs all of her music videos. Everything you get from her, she made it. And I'm sick and tired of people discrediting female artists. If she was a man, you probably wouldn't be surprised.
She's amazing
According to Poppy she does not wrote her own music. Anyone else hear about this?
Marcelle talks MMA that’s definitely not true lmao
I know how you feel grimes, looking like a small teenage girl and everyone assumes you're still in high school and you don't know anything. Creative girls like us need to stick together! introverted here as well.
Lol, wtf?
her music makes me cry. it sounds just like my soul...
Tereza Častová nice reference !
Her lisp is fucking adorable
Young female artist with confidence in her creative version = Arrogant
Sad.
Probably be like all the others just find a billionaire for a husband
Patriarchy talking :P
But we don't need to listen to them c:
What's really SAD is your Hegelian dialectic point of view. First, you create a fake problem and then claim your token victim status - and that's postmodernist feminism for you. Now, who called Grimes arrogant again?! Where you see 'artist with confidence', I see a socially awkward person who seems to struggle with the apparent verbal dyspraxia. Although we can write it off with the go-to 'nerd' label. But keep on trolling for likes with your 'deep thoughts, SJW!
@@spacealien6333 take a nap
@@spacealien6333 weawweawweaw you're literally so boring
so many haters...this chicks music is off the chains...thats what matters to me...personality is whatever...even though i think shes pretty cool but who cares? is the music dope? fuck yeah it is.
She gives props to M.I.A. That's dope because I love her music and style too.
She's so smart and unique and waaaaah I love her and her look!
I really love how she refers to Grimes in third-person. :)
She should wear her hair like this all the time she's pretty
I think she's amazing. Her music is out of this world. Nothing else like it. Artistic people are definitely misunderstood and considered weird. I've been one of those people. Nothing wrong with being different. People think she's weird because her music is actually good and most people are used to the awful stuff we have today that focuses on sex, partying and nothing but negativity. Not saying all music is like that today, but most artists just want to sell records and that's it. Grimes has sooooo much talent and it needs to be truly recognized. She's intelligent, beautiful and wickedly talented. Her voice is unlike anything else. She's wonderful.
Can't wait for new music from her, there's something very special about her that you don't see in other artists.
exactly
I like the direction she is going. I hope she will keep going that way
Like what?
like what?
damn right unique....suppose they say woman can multitask......She is fresh and new...just what the music industry has needed for a long time.
i love her hair in this!!!! 🥺
She looks beautiful with that hair and eyebrows !!
Some people just get it grimes & im one of them
Seeing the comments from years ago to now is such a big contrast. Just let people be people. Go Claire you still inspire me starting from nothing. Passion goes making way look at Claire now 🌚🌝
That moment when you discover Grimes and your whole world changes. Discovery becomes more beautiful and art is more approachable. The whole encompassing aspect of letting go of your pre-constructed notions and just letting yourself go free for a change. Giving yourself a chance to unleash a creative side of yourself that you never fully realized existed.
I'm surprised at the amount criticism of her.... It seems like she's just sitting there talking about herself, but they purposely deleted the interviewer's questions and conversation, and so it's giving this impression that she just wants to talk about herself whereas she is just answering the questions (we don't hear). She's creative, and she has figured out a way to live her life expressing herself. I think it's amazing.
I really love her. I love watching interviews of her cuz everything she says I feel like I can relate to. She's so great. Shes a great producer and she just has a fantastic personality.
"everyone thinks im tumblr.. im not even tumblr" I CANT OMFG THSI SJHUSGTUYGHSUJ
I'm obsessed with her, and just her knowledge as well. Really makes you look at things in different perspectives.
I think she's so interesting, creative, intelligent. I wish her the best in life.
She looks very elegant in this video. I like it
Grimes remains one of my fav artists, she is an amazing person, we need more people like her.
She is such a beautiful soul.
i completely judged grimes when i first heard about her, but i ended up giving her a listen and now im obsessed. i think shes weird and thats the main reason why i like her. weird is cool
I love the fact that she talks in third person about her own persona which is Grimes (obvi), but yeah, she is so bold and creative with how she perceives her image and her brand. I love that about her, she's so real and even though she's puts on the Grimes vibe on stage or in front of crowds you still see her as a person. It shines through everything she creates and becomes, its fascinating watching her grow as an artist year after year. Such a babe x
SHe is soo CUTE!
She's so sincere and genuine.
This interview is the calmest I've ever seen her
Love her! Super artistic person. She can't express herself through words which is why her work (from music to paintings/drawings) is so captivating and haunting because it expresses deep things that can't be understood but felt.
She's so charismatic, so full of life... I love her!
Absolutely beautiful and amazing woman. Favorite artist.
Grimes you rock girl and keep sending the good vibes. Your true fans know who you are and stand by your unique style so keep it up!
she looks so shy and cute. I like that :)
I need a woman like this in my life.
She is gorgeous
she is EVERYTHINGGGG!! i love her boldness and creativity - it's ART!
"It's only real because it's so surreal!" Deep 🙏
I love her interviews
her stares give me chills
Always go back to this interview, learn and learn quick I love hearing that and trying to apply it myself.
Didn't know someone so beautiful could ever exist! She is a very unique artist that comes once in a lifetime.
she's so perfect
what an amazing human being. She has created this completely otherworldly image that is just so different from anything else. It has a beautiful feminine appeal and she has done it all by herself in vision is truly different. Im aw inspired.
also it is not forced quirkiness it is genuine awkwardness, that is cute. I know exactly how she feels being seen as an airhead yet knowing exactly what you are doing and not really being thrown off by others assumptions anyway
She is truly an artist
My first comment on youtube ever!! And its about grimes...she is such an inspiration to a dude living in a third world country in africa...you do your thing girl!!!!!
I can tell she’s socially awkward and introverted, the way she talks during this interview reminds me of myself when I try to talk to new people or more than one person, I start talking too fast or too slow, everything gets jumbled and I fidget a lot and can’t make eye contact. It’s easier to draw my feelings and thoughts than to talk in person.
The best I've saw her look yet. She is cute in this interview.
she is refreshingly down to earth. i admire her...and i love how we are both from Vancouver. :)
watched this a few years ago, it inspired me cuz she was successful as a creative, but I didn’t understand much, now I do meaning progress has been made! 😃
I actually understand fully what she means lmdaooo. She’s def an introvert bc I felt her emotions as she spoke . She’s very smart ,
Wow. Claire, you rock. Don't change. This is one of the very few times I have not been let down by an artist in terms of who they appear to be in an interview. Usually my jaw drops at how apparently idiotic most music artists seem off stage... Claire Boucher is refreshing to say the least.
Great interview!
ohh its so good to hear, when my friends ask to sing i never do it as well hahah i thought i was the only one. completely cool interview, tnx!
Love Claire black hair!
i love her lots omgshavsh she inspire me so much :3
she is so honest and true to her artistry. i like that about her i think its beautiful.
I am obsessed with Grimes.
She's very striking with dark hair
Please never stop singing.
Love u ~*GRIMES*~ your the greatest, cant wait 4 your new album
I see so much art in her. Her voice is beautiful.
when she's talking about her public image she's self aware as fuck, im glad she's as successful as she is, she's really fuckin cool
The fact that she studied Neuroscience still blows me away. She is AMAZING.
... young Grimes is a gift of nature - 9 years ago and now - one person ...
heck yeah! Producing is a lot of fun if it's your passion.
shes just perfect..... -.-
she is very pretty with black hair
She re-defines beautiful. We love you Grimes!
She has the sweetest smile and she's awesome and her music is the best
i love that she has a lisp and unique and everything about her is so real
Yes somebody notice thatcsoeech impediment which why she is struggling in her interview. And yes her hands are abnormally big.
I love Grimes her music is otherworldly but she is solo cutee
She is so wonderful. You never see people who are self-taught or who put this much of themselves into their music. Most of today’s pop music is written or co-written by people other than the artist and then there’s Claire.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh she looks so beautiful.....
I love how dark hair looks on her.
recent news that the artist GRIMES has signed to Jay-Z's management company Roc Nation. The specifics of Grimes' deal with Roc Nation are not yet known, but other artists who have management deals with the company include Rihanna, Haim and Timbaland. Now, Grimes has suggested that her new album will come out on "September 9, 2014". Responding to an MIA fansite on Twitter, Grimes revealed the prospective release date and added "I think".
personally, i can't wait .. ^_~
***** "which is most definitely a plus!" Yeah,right!Just wait and see!:(
Then it seems she's another Illumati puppet. :(
Paulo Peres huh?)))
iblondinka i read that she signed a contract with Jay-Z. i was expecting for it, because every artist ends up like that and because she's occultist too, so, let's wait for all the subliminal symbologies
***** There is no such thing as illuminati but there's really something fishy going on for sure.How would you explain all the symbolism that is used so much and so obvious in the entertainment industry.I guess that they're just some sick minded people.When some1 says "It's just a pyramid"...Well,yeah!But why the fk is it in every music video?What are they trying to convey to us?
Одна из самых очаровательных пришельцев в музыке. И она знает, что она делает. Настоящий источник вдохнавляющая для меня. ❤️
She is a gem. Love her realness.
ever seen a soul so beautiful it made you cry?
she should always have black hair omg so beautiful
Claire you look sooo good with "black hair" :D
You are amazing!!
she's beautiful, and intelligent and a great producer
