The Canadian singer confirmed in January she was pregnant, although she refused to confirm the baby's paternity, despite her being in a relationship with Tesla CEO - and progressive house producer - Elon Musk.

In a new interview with The Face - Grimes' digital avatar WarNymph (pictured), clad in Balenciaga, is on the cover of Volume 4, Issue 003 - the musician discussed one thing that's integral for a fruitful childhood: raving.

Grimes said: “Children need to get into raving, but I don’t think I’ll rave with my kid… I don’t think kids and adults need to rave together. But I wish I had discovered dance music at an earlier age.”

The 'My Name Is Dark' singer also spoke about her avatar: “WarNymph is my digital avatar, aka my digital self. Everyone is living two lives: their digital life and their offline life. I want to untether my two lives from each other for mental-health purposes, haha. And also, for fun.”
