She has the presence of an Amazon, has walked the runway for major fashion houses, and helped launch the musical career of Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes Leon.
Her own music defies categorisation, crossing genres and eschewing labels. On her latest album, Powders , Drewchin moves from billowing strings to soft beats and back again. When you think you have a handle on what is happening, a stripped-back cover of System of a Down’s Chop Suey pops up to shake you up again.
Drewchin is utterly her own artist but if a comparison is needed, perhaps it is best to reach for Bjork. It has been a busy few years for Drewchin, who is one of those multi-hyphenates for whom creating art is not limited to just one sphere. Drewchin is well known in the fashion world, working the runway for labels including Acne and Mugler at New York Fashion Week; Rolling Stone has labelled her one of this year’s 25 most stylish musicians.

Drewchin’s stylist, Billy Lobos, told Rolling Stone he “wanted Eartheater to become the sculpture”.
