LUNA: You absolutely killed it yesterday! Even though it was early, the crowd seemed really into it. You brought the energy for sure. How did everything go from your perspective?
AMELIA MOORE: It went fantastic! There were a few minor technical difficulties, but nothing major. I don't think the audience even noticed, and honestly, as a fan myself, I don't mind when that stuff happens. I just played it off the best I could. But overall, it was so much fun. This is my first ever festival performance, so it was a dream come true. I tried to stay present on stage and not completely blank out, which can be challenging. But I feel like I'll remember some of those moments forever.
LUNA: And your fits - did you style yourself for both yesterday and today, or do you have a team?
AMELIA MOORE: I actually styled myself! I just finished my first headline tour where I styled all the outfits. I found this cool brand based in Texas that takes vintage jerseys and reworks them. I loved it, and it inspired the lingerie-on-top look I wore yesterday.
LUNA: Yeah, both outfits were awesome! They definitely reflect your music because you've got a bit of everything going on.
AMELIA MOORE: That's exactly what the music is about, yeah.
LUNA: So you mentioned your headline tour just wrapped up. How did you approach preparing for a festival set compared to a headlining show?
AMELIA MOORE: Definitely different. The festival set was much shorter, so we had less time to work with. I wanted to keep all the highlights from my tour and add a few new things to make it feel fresh and high-energy throughout. I also wanted to keep reminding people who I am since there's always a new crowd coming in.
LUNA: It sounds like you were well-prepared. Coming off the tour, your band must have been ready to go. What's been your favorite song to play live, either on tour or yesterday?
AMELIA MOORE: For this performance, having dancers on stage for the first time was incredible. It brings a whole new vibe. So, I really loved doing the songs with choreography with Jaded and Farah - shout out to them! They absolutely killed it. But also, "see through" has been having a moment, and singing it and seeing people know the lyrics is really special.
LUNA: That feeling never gets old, right? You got to work with Timbaland and pink slip on recent projects. Who else would you love to collaborate with at this festival?
AMELIA MOORE: I saw Doechii yesterday, she's amazing! And I'm seeing Sexyy Red today. One thing I love about both of them is how long they've been doing their thing and staying true to themselves. Their success is a result of that dedication, which inspires me a lot. I'd love to work with both of them.
LUNA: Well, the year is almost over, which is crazy. What are your intentions for the rest of the year?
AMELIA MOORE: I'm putting out a remix of "See Through" with some incredible up-and-coming artists that I'm really excited about. Overall, I'm setting myself up for a fantastic year next year. This year, I've been able to accomplish a lot independently and make some smart moves. I want to keep my head down, stay focused, and release more music. Looking ahead to next year, I'm starting to work on my debut album with some friends. I have tons of ideas, so it's an exciting time! Lots to look forward to.
