Motivation from A One Woman Band

Pro - Noun

• a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this )

By definition, this one woman is making a name for herself all on her own. She functions by herself...but what made her take this approach?

Pronoun by The Line of Best Fit

Described as a pop-synth sensation according to Rebecca Lerner of Forbes, Pronoun is formed by one single woman by the name of Alyse Vellturo. She took on the venture of Pronoun after a bad breakup, writing lovesick lyrics, centered around relatable emotions. 

Vellturo has a serious background of music knowledge, yet never was an artist until forming Pronoun. She went to Berklee College of Music and studied music production, engineering and business. When she graduated, she worked in music management and distribution before realizing she wanted to start creating her own sound. ​

"Making music is the only thing that made me feel better. It’s the only thing that kept me from going insane. Even though I still went a little insane."

With her previous experience in the industry guiding her, Vellturo knew where to put her time and efforts in — and knew what was a waste of time. The first pronoun EP released was called "there's no one new around you," named for the message that pops up on Tinder when everyone in an area has been seen and swiped.

​Overall her take for becoming a one woman band is brutally honest.... "I know no one is going to care about stuff I’m doing until I do it for myself and then they'll want to get involved."

"If anyone ever treated you badly, I hope it picks you back up and helps you realize you deserve better. I like the idea of empowering yourself to know you're worth something and get what you deserve."
