We are super excited about this one! We’re following [**Dharma**](https://www.instagram.com/dharmadeer/?ref=glamglare.com) Ramirez for five years since she was the singer and guitarist of the Vermont band **The Snaz**. We met the band first at [SXSW 2015](https://wp.glamglare.com/music/2015/04/17/the-snaz-live-at-sxsw/?ref=glamglare.com) when they played the backroom of a raunchy Sixth Street bar on the same makeshift stage as the by now Grammy-nominated rock trio Highly Suspect. Dharma’s abundant talent as a singer and songwriter was obvious and fortunately she continued to do music after The Snaz broke up. Her first release “90s Baby” is a funky indie pop track about her L.A. experience that showcases Dharma’s irresistible silvery vocals.

Dharma tells us about the song:

> 90s Baby is a song I wrote while living in LA. I’m from Brattleboro, VT. But I was intrigued by the idea of LA. It represented something totally different. At the time, I was in a two-piece punk band and, we drove cross-country together to resettle in a studio apartment in Arcadia, California. It was a shock. I hadn’t fully prepared myself for the brightness of LA. This song is the culmination of that time in the sun. I wanted to find a place in pop culture as an artist and a person. I wrote this song intending to write a cliche pop song, inspired by the unavoidable radio hits blasting in LA traffic. 

She adds:

> However, if you look past the catchy glitz, there’s this sense of distrust, mania, and jealousy that comes through. At the time, the picture I painted was imaginary, but now, I think of this song as a conversation with my alter ego. Here, I’m a product of my time and personal insecurities. This song goes high and low. Part of why this song is being released two years after the fact; is because upon returning to VT, I realized how much growing I had to do. When I wrote this song, I was so confused but desperate and hungering for potential. So I guess it’s an egoic manic episode that’s kinda fun, kinda weird.
