In addition to being Slash’s stepdaughter, 23-year-old Scarlet Rae proves to be a talented artist and songwriter in her right, with the 5 songs that make up her No Heavy Goodbyes EP all the proof she needs.

The 13th Floor’s Marty Duda spoke to the transplanted Californian, now living in New York City. Scarlet’s older sister died tragically last year and Scarlet is coming to terms with that loss by writing and recording these songs. As you’ll see, Scarlet is quite open and honest about an event that turned out to be devastating and very public.
