Linda Perry is an iconic singer- songwriter who has worked with some of the most iconic voices in music. She sits down and shares the raw making of her ‘Let It Die Here’ documentary, what it means to be queer in the music industry, some of the younger talent in music she looks forward to seeing grow and more!

Linda Perry:

I’m not a liar. I am as honest as you will find on this planet. I know that about myself. Hi, I’m Linda Perry. And this is Billboard News.

Tetris Kelly:

Now sitting across from an icon like yourself, I feel like this is a question you might not ever get asked. So I want to start with this. Who is Linda Perry? 

Linda Perry:

Linda Perry has been trying to figure it out. People think you know, just because someone is, you know, pretty tough. I’m aggressive. I’m a powerful person, I get that. And I see that about me. I’m very talented. I’m smart. I’m a great mom. I’m a great friend. I’m all these things. I’m a great songwriter. But sometimes, you lose your way. That’s what this film is about. And in real time, I kind of figured things out. I’m still putting the pieces together. I don’t think honestly, anybody truly knows who they are until they can be at one with everything. I guess I’m trying to get to that point where I don’t have a reaction. Because reactions are emotional.

Tetris Kelly:

You even have said, you know, kind of a female Bruce Springsteen. So where did that analogy come from?

Linda Perry:

I love Bruce Springsteen, I was making a joke about it. Because sometimes I like to think I’m Bruce Springsteen and sing like Bruce Springsteen, and then a song will come and you know, I should be collaborating with Bruce Springsteen.
