MUSIC...
What do you think makes you different that any other pop artist out there?
I truly care about the music and the performance. I am not in it for the Fame, I do what I love and want to make many friends around the world who love it too!
Is music your only passion?
Music, performing, dancing, acting, the stage, and love are my passions.
When and how did you first become interested in music?
I first became interested in music when I was just a little girl. I would put on my favorite song and dance for any guest my family would have. Singing became my passion first on the stage doing Musical Theater. I was Gretyl in The Sound of Music in sixth grade and really began focusing on lessons then as well. Once I heard Mariah Carey singing her “Emotions” record, I knew that Pop was my true passion. From there, I began writing and growing as an artist and as a young lady. My experiences with love, both good and bad, became my main focus while writing.
Your single 'Deep N Luv' keeps climbing the Billboard charts, how do you feel about that?
I am so incredibly thankful. This is a dream come true and I am looking forward to it continuing to climb the charts!
What are your musical influences?
Mariah Carey’s older albums were my first musical influences. I love to listen to all genres of music, even Broadway shows as well.
How do you describe your sound/style of music?
Urban Dance Pop ☺
Where do you draw inspiration for your music?
My inspiration for my music comes from my true life experiences with love and the nightlife.
Is there an album/EP on the works?
Absolutely!!! My EP will be coming out in 6-8 weeks and will have two other records that will keep you dancing all night!
Has the music business changed you as an artist or the way you see your music?
I have learned so much from the music business. I have learned a lot about the business side of it all and am glad that I can honestly consider myself an artist and a business woman. It is important to understand everything that is going on with your music, not just the creative aspects of it all. This music business has taught me to always be myself and be the best that I can be.
Now in days it's hard for an artist to be taken seriously for their work, how have you managed to breakthrough?
I am a consistent worker. I rather show than tell the people around me how passionate I am about what I do. This has helped me to be able to have the strong team that I do.
If i was to turn on your ipod right now, what five artists/songs would i see on your recently played list?
1. Deep N Luv ☺
2. Getting Over You – David Guetta, Chris Willis, Fergie, LMFAO
3. Release Me – Agnes
4. Not Myself Tonight – Christina Aguilera
5. Break Your Heart – Taio Cruz ft. Ludacris
If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why?
I have always dreamed of working with Usher Raymond. I love his performances and his music has always been a favorite of mine. I would love to see how he works in the studio. I feel it would be a great learning experience and we would certainly create a hit record.
Do you think there's such a thing as to becoming famous for the wrong reasons? If so, what is your personal opinion on fame?
I choose not to judge others, thus whatever reason people have for creating their careers is up to them. I feel that searching for fame has little longevity.
Anything you want to say to your fans?
I love all of my fans so much! I would never be where I am right now if it wasn’t for their love and encouragement. I thank them for taking this exciting journey with me and I hope they continue to be in communication with me in every way they can! Triple Hearts!
What advice can you give to the aspiring artists that are trying to break into the music business?
To the aspiring artists: be yourself, always. Stay true to who you are, what your message is, and don’t give up. Keep negativity out of your circle and maintain positivity around you everyday, all day.
personally i think, 'The Listening' (debut studio album by Canadian Electropop singer LIGHTS!) is probably one of the best Electropop records ever made. ive blogged about her often... ever since i started this blog, that is only because i consider her a true artist. not just because she puts so much effort and passion into her work, but because she has managed to showcase her talent with every track. seriously you guys. if you still havent... you must get your hands on this album. here i leave you with her latest single 'Second Go'. Enjoy!
