If Channing Elizabeth Paul is the adroit, singer-songwriter with a gift for catchy melodies and playfully audacious lyrics, then alter ego SoBE LASH! is the animated, out-sized personality that delivers these quirky, urban-punk arias with the electric verve and feverish energy of a crazed ringmaster. Though she often cites contemporary artists like P!nk and Beyonce as influences, Channing also frequently references the cutting edge, pop music of icons like Debbie Harry of Blondie and “all time favorite” Michael Jackson. The attitude, confidence and musicality that is the common denominator of these successful pop acts absolutely pervades the LASH! sound and image however, she has built on these attributes by incorporating the slick swagger of hip hop, the raw energy of electronic and punk and the glam-sexiness of the 80’s.
