Exclusive Interview with Sienna Evangeline

MusicWeek Staff: Who are your biggest musical influences? In what way did they influence you?

Sienna Evangeline: MY BIGGEST MUSICAL INFLUENCES RANGE FROM BLACKPINK TO DEMI LOVATO TO ADELE, AND MANY MORE. I TRY TO LEARN SOMETHING FROM ALL OF THE ARTISTS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED ME WITHOUT TRYING TO BE ANY OF THEM.

MusicWeek Staff: What story behind the song "I'm Fire”?
Sienna Evangeline: IT STARTED WITH ME THINKING OF A “DAY IN THE LIFE” KIND OF SONG, LIKE WAKING UP, GOING TO SOCCER, HANING OUT WITH FRIENDS. I WANTED TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR SUMMER THAT WAS LIKE AN ANTHEM FOR THE FUN AND HEAT OF SUMMER

MusicWeek Staff: How did you describe your process of creating "I'm Fire" compared to your other song?
Sienna Evangeline: I THINK FOR I’M FIRE I PICTURED MORE OF THE DAY I WAS WRITING ABOUT AND HOW I FELT DURING THAT DAY. SO I TRIED TO WRITE A SONG BASED ON THE EMOTIONS AND ACTIONS I WAS GOING THROUGH IN MY MIND, AND WHAT THAT SONG WOULD FEEL LIKE

MusicWeek Staff: With every project comes a challenge, Can you tell us a time were you faces obstacles when creating this music video? How did you handle it?
Sienna Evangeline: SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES I FACE ARE TIME. I MAINTAIN A REALLY BUSY SCHEDULE WITH LOTS OF TRAININGS, PERFORMANCES, VOCAL WORK, DANCE, ETC. IT’S REALLY HARD TO FIND TIME TO CREATE NEW THINGS WHEN YOU’RE WORKING SO HARD ON YOUR CRAFT, SO YOU HAVE TO FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN TRAINING AND DOING.

MusicWeek Staff: Name a time when your patience in making your video tested.
Sienna Evangeline: VIDEOS ARE HARD BECAUSE YOU’RE TRYING TO CAPTURE MOMENTS AND LIGHTING CHANGES AND EQUIPMENT ISSUES CAN ALWAYS BE A PROBLEM. WE HAD A SITUATION WITH LIGHTING THAT WE JUST COULDN’T FIX, SO WE HAD TO KEEP ADJUSTING LOCATION

MusicWeek Staff: In your experience, what is the key to developing a good team?
Sienna Evangeline: GOOD TEAMS ALWAYS START WITH FINDING PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST AND WHO HAVE THE RIGHT MOTIVATION TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE AT THE RIGHT TIME. I’D RATHER BUILD SLOWLY AND STAY SMALL THAN JUST BUILD A TEAM OF PEOPLE WHO I CAN’T TRUST

MusicWeek Staff: Do you think you could get any better as an artist? And if so, how would you achieve that?
Sienna Evangeline: I BELIEVE ALL OF US CAN BE BETTER. MORE TRAINING, MORE EXPERIENCE, MORE RISK. I PLAN TO CONTINUE TO WRITE AND RECORD, PUT IT OUT, THEN LEARN FROM IT. I HOPE I’LL NEVER STOP RISKING AND THAT’S HOW YOU GROW

MusicWeek Staff: Your song "I'm Fire", did you wish you had done something differently? Or have you changed as a person and would change styles/lyrics now?
Sienna Evangeline: NOT REALLY. I LOVE HOW THE SONG CAME OUT AND I FEEL LIKE IT’S WHAT I WANTED TO ACHIEVE WITH IT. PLUS WE’VE HAD A TON OF SUPPORT FOR THE SONG AND HIT A LOT OF ACHIEVEMENTS WE WERE GOING AFTER

MusicWeek Staff: If you could pass on a nugget of wisdom t the next musical generation, what would it be?
Sienna Evangeline: IT’S HARD AND YOU HIT A LOT OF ROADBLOCKS, BUT IF YOU’RE WILLING TO PUT IN THE WORK FOR THE LONG PERIOD OF TIME, YOU CAN ACHIEVE WHAT YOU ARE WORKING TOWARDS

MusicWeek Staff: Where can potential fans find out more about you?
