Disney Channel pop stars influenced Girl Online to pursue music. (Photo courtesy of Avery Davis.)
Girl Online, the pseudonym for January Billington, a junior majoring in creative writing, doesn’t make music with a team of men backing them. They prefer their bedroom to the male-dominated classrooms of Thornton. And besides a small team consisting of their manager, a friend who masters their music and photographers or designers they collaborate with, they’ve entered the music industry alone.
Their friend and sophomore year roommate, Joyce Ni, describes Girl Online’s creative process as one that is completely solitary and filled with self-imposed intensity.
