Exposed Vocals: How did you hear about Exposed Vocals? What made you decide to sign up?

I was contacted via twitter.

Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?

I grew up in Connecticut and was very involved in the classical and jazz world. I was lucky enough to experience the beauty of the natural acoustics in cathedral churches, singing in Europe as a kid. I fell in love with large empty spaces, and that definitely influences my music style today.

Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?

Honora is pronounced Honor with an uh at the end. Most people can’t say it right the first time, and although my birth name was Honora, my mother couldn’t stand the constant mispronunciation and decided to change my name. I will never let that go, I think Honora is perfectly fitting for me.

Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?

It’s hard to not give away free music. Everyone else is, and as independent artists, it’s our goal to spread and share it. I am not surprised however that Apple, an electronics company, has much more power of sales than any other label does… Kind of scary.
