Δεν την ξέρω προσωπικά, παρ' ό,τι είναι Θεσσαλονικιά νομίζω, την είχα δεί πάντως μ' ένα τέλειο συγκρότημα που έπαιζε πριν χρόνια, τους Love Boat Orchestra. Διαβάζω ότι δουλεύει ως graphic designer. Κυκλοφόρησε το δίσκο μόνη της.
Βάζω ένα απ' τα αγαπημένα μου τραγούδια της, και μερικές πληροφορίες που βρήκα γι' αυτήν στα αγγλικά.

Thereminst May Roosevelt was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. Her first encounter with a musical instrument was at the age of twelve, when she took to violin lessons. Nine years later her violin was replaced by a theremin, one of the earliest electronic musical instrument invented in 1919, by Leon Theremin. Aside her personal projects, May Roosevelt has collaborateed with several musicians and bands in Greece including Xaxakes, Matisse, Mary & the Boy, 2L8 and the LBO. She is currently working as a graphic designer.
From artist's official myspace page
Influenced by the very reverend trinity of Bach, Björk and Klaus Nomi, May Roosevelt is an extraordinary thereminist, composer and producer with a sense for good, old-fashioned drama. Her classical arrangements will give you the shivers (or, at the very least, remind you of movies that gave you the shivers), with nods to early industrial or electronic music and a passing resemblance to the god of thunder behind a theremin. Like many people, she got into music via her first Casio synth as a kid. If her knack for otherworldly sounds is anything to go by, that Casio must have been possessed by some very restless and musical ghosts.
