And 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,639 Speaker 3: since the podcast is called taking a Walk, I wanted 24 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 3: to ask you if you could take a walk with 25 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: someone living or dead, who would you take a walk 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 3: with and where would you take that walk? 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: You know, I would actually had two people in mind 28 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: when you were starting your question, and maybe I would 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: take them buzz for a walk. You know. One would 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: be classical Russian writer poet Alexandra Pushkin. It may may 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: know in the United States, but he shaped Russian literature 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: and I was a big, big fan when I was 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 2: in my middle school. 34 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 4: It's a you have to you have to study Pushkin 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 4: in the middle school, so there's no escape from that. 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 4: And a lot of people hated him because of language 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 4: was outdated and. 38 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: There was like it was a lot, But I loved 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: him and I believe that he shaped in a lot 40 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: of way the way how I think as a boyet. 41 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 2: When I write my lyrics, I do. I do take 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: an inspiration from him, from the metaphors and from symbolism 43 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: and from how deep he goes to describe all the 44 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: nuances of you know, human soul. But the other person 45 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: that I would love to walk and I'm really very 46 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: often think about her. It's my grandma. She passed away 47 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: a long, long time ago, and she was the one 48 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: who I would say probably the only one who had 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: any connection to music. She was a church singer, choir singer, 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 2: and she was singing a lot around me, and I 51 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: loved to sing with her, and she would listen to me, 52 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: look at me and would say to me, oh, my gosh, 53 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: you are so close to God. And you know, she 54 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: had three daughters, and my mom was her youngest daughter, 55 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: so I was like her younger's granddaughter. And she always 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: felt like I have some special spiritual connection with someone, 57 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: and I do. I do take it very seriously right now. 58 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: You know, when I have this platform as a singer, 59 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: as an artist, and especially when I worked on my 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: my song Hope, which is very spiritual, this came to 61 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: my mind very frequently. 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about the story behind Hope. You know 63 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: what inspired it and what you learned about creating music 64 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: for social change. 65 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: When I wrote the song, I wasn't thinking about creating 66 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: any social change. I was just really in a very 67 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: dark place actually, and the song was for me an 68 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: attempt to get out of there and When I wrote it, 69 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: the lyrics were so inspiring and motivational to me. I 70 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: realized that that could be the hell in hand for 71 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: millions of people out there that probably have moments like 72 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: I just had. And when I distributed song and it 73 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: was out, that just became absolute true. People started making 74 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: these videos on social media spotlighting little acts of kindness 75 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: that my song Hope inspired them to do, and it 76 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: became a movement that I later called be the Hope Campaign, 77 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 2: And it inspired me to find it better partner for 78 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: the song to make bigger changes and inspire more people. 79 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: And that's how song became a song for the UNISEF. 80 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: You know, we did a collaboration with UNISEEF donated shares 81 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: to unief, you say, and song is making a lot 82 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: of changes since then. 83 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: So you had an interesting career path, the path of 84 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: being a journalist and then ultimately being a Grammy winning artist, 85 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 3: and I wanted to ask you what did you learn 86 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 3: from your journalism career that influences you to this day 87 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 3: with your artistry surrounding music and change. 88 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: The responsibility because when you when you sit in front 89 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: of the microphone, you understand that you're responsible for every 90 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: single things that comes out of your mouth. And now 91 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: being as singer, being an artist, when I have a 92 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: platform and mike the phone in front of me, I'm 93 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: really careful of what I say. I'm really careful about 94 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: my partners, about people I'm associated with, because I understand 95 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: the magnitude of it. 96 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: So take us behind the scenes. When you did the 97 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: remix with Erica Campbell and d Smoke, what was that process, Like. 98 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, this is such a great song because 99 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: as much as I love original Hope, this song is 100 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: something else. It's completely different dimension and presence of Erica Campbell, 101 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: who is just absolutely gorgeous, amazing gospel singer with multiple awards, 102 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: and she's just such a sweet person. You know, she 103 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: has these powerful vocals that I wanted to put in 104 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: the song and did Smoke. It's from a very different perspective. 105 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: When he came in the studio and started rapping, it 106 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: was so cool. I mean, the song really became a 107 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: Manhattan project if you wish. And this is actually the 108 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: idea that I did have in the very beginning. I 109 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: really felt like the world needs to hear something like 110 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: We're the World song, and there is nothing like that 111 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: out there. There is nothing like that that is very inspiring, 112 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: very powerful, very simple that unites artists. And when I 113 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: had a chance to collaborate with Eric and you smoke 114 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: with that and we actually have a couple more people 115 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: probably coming into the remix, it was it was that. 116 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: It was that with the world song that will be 117 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: changing lives. The song is just unwrapping, just picking up 118 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: this team. It's beautiful. It was very organic, it was 119 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: very fun. It was very fast collaboration, and I loved 120 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: every second of it. 121 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: What's a perfect day for you as a creator that 122 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: makes you happy? What what does that day look like? 123 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, like they're probably very probably very boring 124 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: from the outsider. You know, I really love working in 125 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: the studio. I love the stage obviously, but on the stage, 126 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: you I mean, you're very true to yourself, but in 127 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: the same time, it's a little bit showing off. And 128 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: I'm by a nature and very shot an introvert person. 129 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: So ideal day for me would be, you know, make 130 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: my morning drink be tea or coffee or maybe a 131 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: Macha lata that I really love because I'm a big 132 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: fan of everything that came from Japan, and Macho is delicious, 133 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: and then I would go to studio and I would 134 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: spend the whole day there writing songs, writing melodies, you know, 135 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: talking with my band members, with my partner Tim Cartman 136 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,239 Speaker 2: that I work with currently, and just you know, go home, 137 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: see my kids, give them hugs, and make dinner and 138 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: just you know, go to sleep. Very boring. 139 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: It sounds very contented, you know, and it sounds like 140 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 3: you know what you like and you're happy when those 141 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 3: moments occur, and you don't take them lightly. 142 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: Oh. Absolutely, I'm trying to cherish every single moment of 143 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: my life. And you know, we're all humans, and sometimes 144 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 2: I'm not very good about it, but I tried every day. 145 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: I really wake up every day happy, ready to go. 146 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: So you've had some pretty incredible collaboration with some other 147 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: folks as well that I want to call out. One 148 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 3: of them is the Grammy winning producer engineer Bill Schnee, 149 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: known for a lot of great work, Steely Dan work, 150 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 3: among others. And then there's this other guy, Eric I 151 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: think his last name is Clapton, that you maybe had 152 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 3: a little work with. Can you talk about what those 153 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 3: collaborations are like and how they came about. 154 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is so funny. 155 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: You know. 156 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 5: My husband, he likes to joke about it. He would say, oh, 157 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 5: do you know this guy, by the way, his name 158 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 5: is Eric Clapton. He was trying to start off his 159 00:09:54,040 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 5: career of Aliah. So I'm so fortunate to have all 160 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 5: this wonderful book or collaborators in my career, especially this 161 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 5: early on, because you know, I feel, I still feel 162 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 5: with all the achievements that I have, that I'm just 163 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 5: warming up. I really believe there is a bigger future 164 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 5: for me. And I didn't write my best song yet, 165 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 5: I didn't do my best performance yet. But Bill Shnie 166 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 5: he's wonderful. 167 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: You know. He was my entry to American market as 168 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 2: an artist, and he produced my first song, American Beauty, 169 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: which was inspired by my personal journey as immigrants from 170 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 2: different country and all other women that bring such a 171 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: diversity in beauty to America. And he was awesome. You know, 172 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: he was very he was very patient, and I think 173 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: it was perfect for me when I was just kind 174 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 2: of trying to figure out who I am, I would 175 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 2: really be maybe even crushed by some other involvement. When 176 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 2: you know, sometimes producer they want to do whatever they 177 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 2: want to do. They don't really always say artists, they 178 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 2: just do whatever they feel like most commercial, the best 179 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: fit for the market. So Bill was not like that. 180 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: He was very patient. He really listened what I wanted 181 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 2: to deliver, and the results were very successful. You know, 182 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: American Beauty charted on Billboard charts and two different categories. 183 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: And the most important part of Bill was you know, 184 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 2: he introduced me to Tim Carmen, which I'm working right now. 185 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 2: He's my musical partner. And whatever we created with Team afterwards, 186 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,359 Speaker 2: it became big, you know, because of the Team. Collaboration 187 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: with Eric Clapton happened. Team worked with Eric foro over 188 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 2: the decade and he knows him personally, and this was 189 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: a very surprise collaboration. You know, Eric Clapton, he has 190 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: only won Christmas record and he never never ever done 191 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: collaboration on Christmas with any other artists. And here I am, 192 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: you know, like coming up artists from America, and I 193 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: recorded my first Christmas EP and it was all on 194 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: a distribution and then I got called from Team to 195 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,599 Speaker 2: come to studio and I came to studio and he 196 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 2: turned on Silent Night, which was one of the songs 197 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: on the Christmas EP, and you know, sometimes when you 198 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 2: work on a record for a while, you get tired 199 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: of songs, and that was that moment. So as soon 200 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: as he turned Silent Night, I'm like, oh my god, 201 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: just turn it off. I'm so tired of listening. Already 202 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: sung bazillions of times. And then he's look, just wait 203 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: a second. And then I hear Eric Clipton voice. I'm like, oh, 204 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: oh my gosh. So it turned out, you know, behind 205 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: the scenes, he showed Eric the record and Eric just 206 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: loved the voice. He said, I really love her voice. 207 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 2: I would like to sing on the record. I would 208 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: like to be the part of it. And I mean 209 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: when when people like Eric come to the to the stage, 210 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's instant classic at this point. So 211 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: the song really stands out from the EP, and it 212 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: loved by my fans and by Eric fans. It's really 213 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: one of the songs that's when I listened to it, 214 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm floating on top of clouds. 215 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 3: That's amazing. Well, in closing, Alya, I want to commend you, 216 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 3: first of all, you know, with using your your music 217 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 3: as a platform for for good and for change and 218 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 3: for you know, just spreading spreading good, good vibes and 219 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: making a difference. If you could talk right now to 220 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 3: an artist maybe who's listening to this, who maybe is 221 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: on the fence and not sure how to use their 222 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: music and their platform in their own way, as you 223 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: have found your way, talk to them directly and talk 224 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: them off that ledge so they can try to make 225 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 3: a difference with their work. 226 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: The biggest mistake that I did was not to release 227 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: my music fast enough and at the moment when I 228 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: felt this is the right moment. You should trust your God. 229 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 2: You should really trust your God. If you feel like 230 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: this is something that you want people here, you need 231 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 2: to go and release it. Don't wait for big managers, 232 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: don't wait for big names, don't try to associate with 233 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: anyone else. If there is a spark in you, people 234 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: will come over to you and to your advantage. The 235 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: social media today, as much as a distraction that they 236 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: can bring, they actually a window to reach people. So 237 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: go out there, use social media, find your crowd, find 238 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: your tribe, and the rest will just come to you 239 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: just like that. 240 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: Thank you for making a difference, thank you for making 241 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 3: beautiful music, and thank you for being on the Taking 242 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 3: a Walk podcast.
