Singing? Define singing in your words?
Its sort of like meditation, you don’t think
of anything else when you’re singing, except about what you’re singing.
·
Why did you choose this field ?
Its something I thoroughly enjoy and feel I
can contribute a lot to.
·
What are your songs about?
They’re about the difficulties that
we face in our lives, about how transient everything is and the importance of
enjoying the presence. A lot of songs i’ve been writing lately are about being
true to ourselves.
·
Who ispired you to become a singer?
Ella Fitz Gerald, Sarah Machlachaln,
Jewel, Alanis Morisette, Sajjad Ali, and my mother
·
Is singing your passion?
Yes it most definitely is.
Sometimes it feels like work, but I imagine what I would rather be doing, and I
go blank.
·
What are your plans for future? A singer or some other work?
I always want to be involved in
the arts, more focused as a singer, but also delving into theatre, and film.
·
What do you prefer limited audience gig or a more audience
concert?
I think both have their own
charm. A small and intimate environment can be lovely to sing to, but the josh
and energy you get from a big supportive crowd is a really great high.
·
How was your experience at coke studio?
It was tough, but i’ve learned
a lot
·
Which,when,where was the best/interesting show you had till
now?
My very first solo show in 2011
at the PACC had to be the best experience. I haven’t met so many people who
supported me that much at the same time. The energy in that room was just
something else.
·
Where do you see yourself in next few years ?
Hopefully touring! I cannot wait to
travel, and I really hope I get to through
Music!
·
What’s yourself relationship status?
Single.
·
Any new project/surprise coming up?
Yes the new album is all ready,
and we’re just looking into distribution at the moment.
·
You have also joined many bands than why solo now?
Because the bands that I joined
were just for one or two shows- ive always been solo
·
What do you prefer band or solo artist?
I sometimes really wish I was
in a band, because it can get lonely going solo. With a band you have the
support of your other band members, everyone is in it together rather than just
you running the show. But I know that going solo also has its perks, and its
what I have for now that matters.
·
Who is more better
Rachael or Zoë ?
That’s a very generalized question. I
think we both have our different strengths.
