Pam Jaloose said she chose motherhood deliberately, wanted a full life, and accepted the long gap between albums as part of that journey. She also said her path is not for everyone, but it is hers.

Her MBA research focused on how digitisation and streaming affected musicians’ income during Covid, and how visual artists were also being reshaped by digital media and online sales.

She said visual artists often struggle to be treated as commercially valuable because galleries favour unique one-off works, while prints can be duplicated and dismissed as less important.

Jaloose credited her mother, parents, partner and blunt friends for keeping her grounded, saying children are honest in their own way but still want sandwiches and pancakes first.
