Burgeoning independent artist and producer, Earth to Eve traded in a budding finance career to follow her true passion for music and social activism. The musical raw political commentary and unfiltered emotional honesty has resonated with a strong and politically-active fanbase.
“A big part of leaving [finance] was… if I wanted to do this life I was going to have to live it in a way that was in accordance with my values… [and] to make music that supports people that are struggling.”
Growing up in New York within a more academically-minded family whose backgrounds range from finance science and engineer, Eve Weisberger originally started writing songs as an outlet to feel seen and understood. She dismissed music as an realistic career and pursued economics at UC Berkeley and worked at a San Francisco venture capital firm. The experience was a radical awakening, as the two worlds emphasized the sharp contrast between wealthy investors funding AI startups and local activists occupying People’s Park to prevent community displacement, which deeply disillusioned her. Recognizing her own complicity in that financial system, she abandoned her degree and relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a socially conscious music career instead. The pivot has been fruitful as she’s gained a growing fanbase from songs like “NO KINGS” and “Threat Level Orange” that are featured on her recently released debut LP, ‘Oversharing on the Internet’.
Earth to Eve spoke with B-Sides host Pete Mar about the inspiration behind the album’s title, the challenges of creative vulnerability, and the journey of translating digital experiences into sound, and more.
