Beautiful, talented and known to get more than a little flirty with her female fans, Sabina Sciubba, the lead singer of the Brooklyn-based band Brazilian Girls, is much more than just a pretty face. She's got one of pop music's sultriest voices and sings its sassiest lyrics--you may have heard her crooning in the Brazilian Girls' most popular song, "Pussy," a slow, dreamlike tune that's equal parts poetry and depravity. If that's not enough to intrigue you, the Rome-born, Munich-raised Sciubba is a classically trained pianist, an outspoken political junkie, and sings and writes in five different languages.

You've lived in a few different countries. Which one do you most feel like you're from--where is your hometown?

I have to say, there is none. I think if I knew I would probably live there. If I am in New York, that's probably because I don't feel like there's another hometown. I love Rome because I was born there, but right now I don't really want to live there.

Let's talk a little bit about your costumes. You have some great ones. How do you come up with your ideas?

It depends. Recently, I've been starting to collaborate with a woman called Gemma Kahn. She's a really great Korean designer. I basically make a drawing, then I send it to her and she makes a realistic assessment of what's possible, and then we sort of make the outfit together. The last couple of outfits I had, we did together. Before that, a bunch of outfits I just did myself, sometimes with the help of a friend here and there, but usually I just put them together according to how I feel.
