Musician Loreta answered some questions for me!
Q: What inspires you to sing?
A: Singing is second nature to me, I am always inspired to sing. I sing when I am happy, I sing when I am sad. I think singing is one of the most beautiful things a human being can do!
Q: How do you pick songs to cover and topics to write on?
A: I don’t usually do covers, but I picked ‘Stranger in Moscow” as a tribute to Michael Jackson and also because I always felt really close and related to that song. I write only when I am inspired, when I feel something in my heart and I want to express my feelings, so I put it all into words and music.
Q: What makes a song special to you?
A: If I can relate to a song and the song makes me feel a certain way or reminds me of something or someone then that song will surely become special in some or many ways.
Q: When did you start to sing?
A: I started singing when I was 2 and professionally when I was 4.
Q: Who is your biggest role model?
A: My biggest role model is Michael Jackson.
Q: What is your favorite song at the moment?
A: I would say the Earth Song. The world needs love and healing and this song inspires you to take a look around and do something about it.
Q: What advice do you have for teenagers wishing to pursue a career in the music industry?
A: Always be yourself, believe in yourself and stay true to yourself! Be ready to work hard and have a great work ethic. Be prepared for rejection, but also know that it’s a valuable lesson learned that will only make you stronger and more determined. There is always a place for another special artist, so never ever give up.
