I A M Talks With SAYA What type of band/artist are you? Solo artist Tell us the brief history of your band. I had a vision few years ago and I decided to take action and create as much as I could without thinking… I started to write and improve my vocal skills. I’m a clothes designer and a stylist as well, I put it all together and created Saya. At first it was very personal, I had a great feedback from the public and the industry. Then I started to perform in events, clubs and showcases here in Canada. When did you start making music? I sing since childhood but I truly started to take it more seriously 8 years ago, I had a classical vocal teacher for many years, I had bands and created Saya 4 years ago. How would you describe your music for the public audience if they never seen you before? I’m an Electro-Pop singer, my style is dark with catchy hooks and a positive message. Do you feel like you have changed your style from since you first started making music? Absolutely! I wouldn’t say that I have changed it but I improved a lot, the style is now defined. I’m a big fan of 80’s music! This is my main influence for the music, the lyrics and the style. I always stay up to date on everything that’s going on in fashion! How does music affect you and the world around you? Music has changed my life, it changed me as a person as well! I really had to work hard on my shyness, my insecurities, my doubts. I grew a lot over the years, I experienced a lot of amazing things, met cool people! It was quite a ride, we had ups and downs but in the end it is truly worth it. Do you feel music is entering a whole new generation? I’d say yes but not in a good way though… I feel very disconnected wi ????????????????????e?)?????????????????????????)?????$????????????????????????)????$???????Q????e?????????????)???????????????????????????)?????????????????????)??????????????????????)???????????????()]???e?????????????????????????????????????)]????????????????????)$??????????????????????????)?????????????????????)????????????e?????????????(??%??????????????5???????????????????????()?????????????????????????)?????????????????????????)???????????????Q???e????$)????????????????????????????)????????????????????????)]???????????????????????????)??????)A?????????????????????)?????????????$???????%??????)????????????????????????????)????????????????????????)????????????????????????)??????????????????????????)?????????????????????????????????????$??????????????)!??????????????????????)???????????)'?e????????????????????????????????????????$?????????)???????????$?????e??????????)????????'?e?????????????$?????((
