Artist Spotlight Exclusive Interview ::: Jennifer Garza
I had the huge pleasure of coming across a great artist in the making. One that will captivate you with words and draw you into a world of emotions that you forgot you had. Allowing you the luxury of feeling again, and the catalyst to love and passions will engulf you as you seep into her world.
With songs such as 'Satisfied' and 'Finally Found you' you will not only hear but see, the elements that are missing in music today. The raw creativity that she shares should not go unnoticed or under estimated. With raw talent on the piano breaking all rules to recreate them in a string of subtle and sultry truths that seeps into your heart grabbing your mind on its way to your eternal soul. Her talent goes far beyond that of your everyday artist. Timeless and ready to share her eternal rhythms against a backdrop of soul that will go unmatched by many.
I took the time to sit down and learn a few more things about this artist. She has allowed Enterpolics into the exclusive world Jennifer Garza. What I am bringing to you today is what she is, and nothing less.
As I went through these answers to her questions. All I can feel is an authentic vibe to what makes her who she is. With a smile that would break the hardest of hearts, and a hand in the kitchen that will strengthen the back of the most loyal of men you will feel at home. From what she has to say, you will see and agree with the fact that there is a need for real artist.
Now you have the opportunity to enjoy her for all that she is.
The Interview:
I am pleased to see that you have brought me aboard.
I hope to bring light to the fans and to those who will know you soon.
Before I begin, I would like to say, that I had the chance to listen to
more of your music and watch your Insider interview and I love what you
stand for and I hope to shed more light upon your movements.
So Jennifer what is your favorite song off your current album?
Finally Found You
What about this song over the others makes it stand out to you?
Well,
when I listen to this song, it makes me want to cry. When I wrote this
song, it was at a time when I was very much in love and I thought for
sure that I found the one that I would be with forever. It's strange
how it all fell apart. But ultimately, I feel that God has a different
plan for me and I'm ready to embrace it!
Is there a song you would like to release but it is too revealing for you to do so now?
No.
I'm at a time in my life where I feel that I can just be totally myself
and in control of the decisions I make as far as sharing my inner most
thoughts and feelings. These days, I don't hold back at all if I have
something important to say.
On a lighter note, I would like to know; What led you to soul music?
Soul
music to me, is anything from the heart. When you hear music from the
soul, you can feel someones heart through the song. I don't intend to
write music that I cannot feel. Therefore, feelings of my heart are
essentially what led me to soul music.
What are some of your influences in the reality we call life?
God plays a major role in my life. Anyone who sends me good energy and positive vibes are extremely influential for me.
Are you going to continue using your poetry as a catalyst to your music?
Of course! I believe that poetry and music go hand in hand. For me,
without a sense of poetry, there would be no song, and vice versa.
Will you always play the piano by ear or will you mix it up with sheet music?
I've never really enjoyed reading music. It always tends to create
boundaries. I'd much rather play by ear. This way, I can FEEL the music
rather than the music feeling me. I hope that makes sense.
Have you ever been approached to change your style?
All the time! I try to focus on what I want musically, rather than what
everyone else wants. I would just drive myself crazy if I constantly
worried about the expectations of others.
Is there any one person that your fashion yourself after?
I'm proud to say that I am my own person and I enjoy the freedom of just
being able to be me. I'm inspired by many artists, but at the end of
the day, I'm an individual with my own mind and my own personality.
As far as to who you look up to, name your top spots?
Musically, Lily Allen, M.I.A., Tori Amos, basically anyone who is not afraid to
speak the truth. I really look up to people who do not give a shit what
anyone thinks. It's so inspiring for me!
Now before I go I would like to let the fans know a little more about Jennifer. Have you ever worked a 9 to 5?
Well, before I started doing music, I worked as a chiropractic assistant. I
guess that would constitute as a 9-5, right? The job only lasted about
2 months. I couldn't take it. Probably because the doctor I worked for
was really horrible and insincere to his patients. He used to get all
excited when someone called for a workers comp or car accident cause it
meant that he was gonna get paid. What a slime ball! Working a 9-5 was
just not for me. That was my first and last experience, thank God. Not
to say that a 9-5 is a bad thing. It makes some people really happy.
Just not me.
What was your favorite food growing up?
Apple Jacks Cereal. Most of the time, we couldn't even afford it and we got
the generic version of everything. But when I did have Apple Jacks,
they were SO good. It was my favorite cereal. It's so funny because now
me and my brothers laugh at the fact that we used to have to get "chips
galore" instead of the real brand "chips ahoy"! HAHA! Pobrecito!
Can you cook?
Sure!
Do you think it is a way to a mans heart?
In
most cases. It really depends on the man's upbringing. I never used to
have an interest in cooking. When I moved to NYC, I kind of just fell
into it. The long NY winters being stuck at home, kind of made it
necessary for me to take up cooking. My man at the time loved my
cooking. Either that, or he was just trying to be nice and said it was
great just to make me feel better.
What turns you on in life?
Being free! I value my freedom in life. I've learned that having the freedom
to be exactly who you are, is extremely liberating and really satisfies
my soul.
If you could love all over again, would you pick your first love?
Hell NO! That boy was SO wrong for me. He never gave a shit about my feelings and he made me cry all the time.
Also since you are moving out to the west coast. Tell me when can we expect
to see you in the Arizona-phoenix area, Cali, and Vegas venues? It
would be great to have you. Phoenix needs it, and Tempe is next door
and your style will be a pure fit.
2008, west coast, it's on
bitches! ;-) It's a celebration bitches! LOL No but seriously, I plan
on having shows mostly on the west coast this year. I'll be going back
to NYC and Houston as much as possible too. But west coast, see you a
whole lot in the near future! Looking forward to it! I'll be posting
dates up on my myspace, so check back! :-)
Now that you have the opportunity to share with her. Take a further look into her world and see what she has in store for true souls.
