Welcome to BuzzMusic, Teena. We're so pleased to have you here. What can you tell us about your inspiration behind your song "Trials & Tribulations?"
It's difficult to let someone go...especially when you still love them. It's heartbreaking, but you need to make a choice. "trials & tribulations" is all about that choice - wanting to make things work but choosing to end your relationship. Your person is just too physically and emotionally distant to handle something with you right now. It's that break-up ballad for wanting to make it work but ultimately having to give up.
What kind of toll does it take on you personally when crafting such a deeply emotional song? Do you find that you can easily slip into this state of mind?
When I write this kind of work, I have to be in the most chaotic place! But, that's the beautiful thing about being an artist - sometimes, our deepness stems from our struggles. I think that writing this song just helped me process what I was going through.
What differences do you notice between recording and performing the song? Does the crowd have an impact?
This song is truly brought to life when performed live. It still maintains that atmospheric ambiance, yet it is even more impactful than the recording. People see me emoting and pouring my heart into it. I think they feel the passion behind my words.
What message would you give to a hopeful fan aiming at venturing into the music business?
Remember that art is art, and business is business. Create your art, and only trust professionals that see potential in YOUR vision - not their vision of you. If you are young and hungry to have your music heard - you're vulnerable. Only link up with people that genuinely want to see YOUR ideas succeed. Don't let people take your ideas from you. It's your art and your persona. That cannot be changed nor tampered with.
