INTERVIEW: Alessi on zines

The speaker started a zine called Brain Bulletin at 14, filled with creative content like drawings, stories, and reviews. Initially, they fabricated contributors to avoid embarrassment, but eventually, real submissions came in. This zine helped them connect with like-minded people. Some poems from the zine evolved into song lyrics as they began playing music at 15. Although initially focused on writing, their interests expanded to music, showing how early creative endeavors can lead to unexpected paths.
