Everything I do and all my shows are posted on my website : www.sayaofficial.com you can visit and keep in touch with me, I love to meet new people and share! Everybody’s welcome. How do you promote your band and shows? I promote myself a lot through social medias. What’s new in the recording of your music? -We want to bring something different and as close to me as possible! I love to work with creative and talented people, we work really hard to make the recordings interesting and well produced! Photography: Kraken blessed to have the chance and the ability to express myself through my art! What inspires you to do what you do? The world, the people around me, relationships, poverty, war, personal experiences good and bad. Emotions pushes me to create, I have to let it out! If you could win any award, one of your choice what award would it be? I consider myself more as an artist than anything else, so maybe best artist of the year! How often and for how long do you practice? I practice on a regular basis, i practice my voice often to keep it warm, I sing all my favorite tunes, I’m always singing! When I have shows, I add my vocal warm ups and I go through my own songs as well. It could go from 1 to 3 hours per practice. What advice would you give to beginners who are nervous? Follow your dreams and your instincts, don’t let the nerves get the best of you! The more you practice, the better and stronger you get. The most important thing is to take action and have no fear, only good things will come out of it. Any Final Words? Thanks for having me it it a pleasure for me to let you in my universe! The pleasure was ours. Please keep making great music. Do you get nervous before a performance or a competition? Always! I had stage fright for many years before being able to go on stage and perform, I had to overcome that but it still remains. I learned to deal with it and I don’t let that stop me anymore! Describe your show, visual and musically. I have 2 different kind of shows that I developed depending on budget and size of the stages. I can do a smaller set up just me and my Key-Tar and for bigger events, I wear costumes, I have models and accessories on stage, it’s very theatrical. I love to recreate the emotion of the music live on stage, make the public dream and get them out of their comfort zone.
