You can’t fight the feeling

MADELINE Follin can’t believe the twist her life has taken. Growing up in a hippy enclave of San Diego, a career in the music business was the last thing she wanted.

Her step-dad was a hard-living guitarist with the band White Zombie so she had first hand experience of the dark side of the rock lifestyle. She’d seen people destroy themselves and knew it was a path she didn’t wish to pursue. If anything, she was determined to get far away from rock’n’roll.

“A lot of my parents’ friends had drug related issues,” she recalls with a very visible shudder. “It was a lifestyle where you did everything to the maximum. There was a lot of darkness there. And I saw it.”
