Hello Aisha how are you? Great! I just moved to Western Massachusetts from Florida and I’m loving the change of climate and scenery. You are a singer songwriter based in the US, how did it all begin for you? In 2015, I was in college and feeling depressed because my life wasn’t heading in the …
Today is the birthday of one of my biggest musical influences Nile Rodgers. When a Chic record comes on you can’t help but smile. I could even go as far as to say to say you’re going to dance. When I need to get my day started right, “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie has to …

Admittedly the first time I heard this song was when Eminem sampled it for “Sing” but when I went back and listened to the original …

But the thing that connected us was that I love Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and the late great singers Miriam Makeba and Lionel Petersen. We talked about their impact and for just a brief moment we sang …

While everyone’s gripped in election fever, I thought I’d revisit a track that holds a lot of good memories for me. Not only is it a track from a film that holds a very special place in 80s pop culture it’s also a pop culture reference in itself. That film was Beverly Hills Cop, and …
