staying current but definitely
channeling old-school divine Brown who’s
that takes us on a trip down memory lane
with the love Chronicles well hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today i got the
pleasure of speaking with this soul diva
so when did you start experimenting with
music I always knew I wanted to be
involved in music I was walking through
a store with my mom and I saw this
little organ this little plug in
keyboard organ thing and I did not stop
bugging my mom for that thing until she
bought it for me
mom I want that mom mom I want this I
want the keyboard mom mom in junior high
school it was like oh because you know I
started band class just like tubas and
Tom bones and there’s all these horns
and wind instruments it cool now you’ve
been part of shows like ain’t
misbehaving and rent how did your
theater work influence your music
anybody that gets the opportunity to
really see me live that’s when they’ll
really see how I think the biggest thing
that I learned from musical theater is
how to talk to everybody in the room no
matter how high up in the barback
balcony they were in the nosebleed
section or right at the back of the
floor auditorium you know like I it was
important to talk to everyone and and
that’s something that I always took with
me from musical theater and apply it to
the stage now some of your influences
you can hear them in your vocals such as
Chaka Khan
and even I’ve heard Joni Mitchell do you
want to just talk a bit about who has
enclosed to over the way I’ll tell you
who and why Chaka Khan because her voice
sounds like a trumpet ya know deep we
cannot measure you know that ain’t
nobody I see my voice is an instrument
and and that’s where I kind of learned
that concept from Joni Mitchell because
I deal in dreamers head telephone
screeners right she knows how to tell a
story to the point where it paints
pictures in your head
sunglasses
you wouldn’t necessarily think that
Corey Hart would be kind of a soul
singers influence but obviously he was
did you want to just talk about that a
little bit in the eighties Corey Hart
was big and he was cute and still is
cute the keyboard line in that song
haunted me for weeks and and I said okay
I got to do something this obvious is a
sign I have to do something you know now
lay it on the line it’s a very relatable
song do you want to just tell us a bit
what it’s about first of all lay it on
the line is about being in a situation
where Oh God where you are into somebody
you know and and your friend you’ve been
friends with them for a long time and
then there’s like oh my gosh I’m good
and catching feelings for this person
and you know how tough that is how did
that true story and I know that’s the
question I really I know but I I I’m
glad let’s put it this way I’m glad that
I that I fessed up I didn’t regret
messing up
