GG Magree is entering a new chapter with the release of her single Bleed, marking a shift from her EDM background to a heavier Industrial Rock sound. In this interview, she discusses her musical evolution, challenges for women in heavy music, and her vision moving forward.

Reuel

Hello GG! I am very happy to chat with you. How are you doing?

GG Magree

I’m amazing! A little hung over in Denver airport as I had my release party last night in LA for Bleed and I’m in the middle of a tour at the moment so I had to jump on an early morning flight for the last 2 shows in the US before I start the European leg of the tour.

Reuel

That sounds huge! You also just released your new single “Bleed”. How are you feeling about the way it was received by your fans?

GG Magree

So far so good! I’m really lucky to have a really supportive fan base. I feel like the louder I am with my art the more they love it so it forces me to keep pushing boundaries both musically and visually.

Reuel

This new song is also a new experience for you as you shift from the sound you’re known for to something new. What made you pursue this shift, and are you satisfied with the result?

GG Magree

I’ve grown A LOT in the past 2 years as I’ve really been going through it and it forced me to really come to terms with who I am as a person and I finally feel like I am at a place that I fully, from the inside and out, love myself and the woman I’ve grown into and I really think that shows in my art. It’s always been scary for me to stray away from the usual EDM bass world that I’ve been living in for the past couple of years; however, I’d be a fraud to myself and to my fans if I wasn’t creating art that speaks to who I am. “Bleed” is the birth of that, and it’s only going to get more chaotic, sexy, and wild from here on out.

Reuel

Is “Bleed” an introduction for more releases or maybe a bigger release any time soon?

GG Magree

Oh baby, we’re just getting started hehe.

Reuel

Excting! Can you tell us a little about your musical background? What musicians had the most influence on you growing up and inspired you to become an artist yourself?

GG Magree

I’m self taught everything in the music space. I didn’t even know songwriting was a profession until I wrote my first song called “frontlines” which ended up being one of the biggest songs in the EDM space. I grew up in the rave scene in AUS, which is when I fell in love with the whole punk-electro scene which really helped me develop my on stage persona which is very much “I dont give a fuck” lol. Artists like Bloody Beetroots, NIN, Crookers, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Justice, The Prodigy have always been my inspiration since I first fell in love with music.

Reuel

You’ve performed in many places before. What moment from a live show is one you would never forget?

GG Magree

It’s crazy to say but that first venue I ever performed in America was Red Rocks so that will always hold a special place in my heart. Playing Coachella Sahara tent was also a huge lifelong goal for me so accomplishing that with a full band was insane.

Reuel

How do you feel about the representation of women in heavy music today, and what do you think can be done to promote more inclusivity and support for female musicians?

GG Magree

Honestly, the representation of women in heavy music is better than it used to be, but it’s still nowhere near where it needs to be. There are more women pushing boundaries and taking up space now, but we’re still often treated like novelties, not equals. I’m a hypersexual, confident woman who expresses her power on stage, and I still get questioned more about my image than my sound. That says a lot. The scene loves rebellion, but only when it’s coming from the “right” people. The moment a woman is loud, angry, or sexual on her own terms, she’s either fetishized or dismissed. I make it mandatory on all my line-ups to have either a female or someone in the LGBTQ on, and I think if we all just continue to support and be loud, change will be made.

Reuel

This is great! Thank you for this powerful statement! And thank you for your time, GG, and for this interview! Is there anything else you’d like to add?

GG Magree

If the music industry wants real art, it needs to stop punishing people for being sexual, queer, and unapologetically free. Sex-positivity isn’t a threat—it’s power. Shame kills creativity. Support the artists who show up loud, raw, and half-naked, because that’s where the truth lives. You can’t control the future of music while clinging to outdated morals.
