*A conversation between Anna L. and Janet Tung a teen singer/dancer.*
Question 1: When did you first start singing or playing a musical instrument?
Janet: I started singing as long as I can remember I taught myself how to play guitar 2 years ago I started getting serious in music last year
Question 2: What drew you towards your love of music?
Janet: I was searching through Youtube one day, and I saw @JohnnyOrlando and @CarsonLueders do covers and I found that really cool because they were in a recording studio and have their own original music. So I taught myself how to record music and now I post covers on Youtube and my own original music on itunes, spotify, etc.
Question 3: Do you prefer singing covers over originals or vice versa?
Janet: I find that I love singing covers more than originals because, I’m just starting out as an artist and I don’t think I’ve found myself yet. Singing covers helped gain my audience, and these professional artist has true meaning behind all their songs and I just really enjoy that.
Question 4: What genre of music do you enjoy playing the most?
Janet: Definitely pop because I grew up listening to pop songs on the radios, and pop songs are super catchy to me. So that usually the type of music I listen to, do covers on, and enjoy the most.
Question 5: What singers would you say inspire you the most?
Janet: Definitely all the canadian singers such as Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Alesia Cara, Drake, Johnny Orlando. And Taylor swift, Hailee Steinfeld... etc
Question 6: Would you say your other activities get in the way of music?
Janet: Yes, for sure! Most of the time I feel like school and extra curricular activities (I do a lot) definitely takes a bunch of time out of my life dedicated to music, acting, and youtube
Question 7: What is the best advice anyone has given you regarding music?
Janet: Never give up, keep trying. Because if you keep working hard you’ll get what you deserve.
Question 8: How do you feel when you play music?
Janet: I feel amazing when I play music because I forget about school and whatever problems are going on and I can just focus on something I love, something that is my passion.
Question 9: What qualities do you believe a good musician should posses?
Janet: Good qualities that an artist should have is being open minded, music is an art everybody thinks about music differently and you need to be open minded for your music to be creative. Also, musician should have a great personality, and outgoing because it’s hard to stand out if you’re shy.
Question 10: What qualities do you possess that help you get inspiration for songs?
Janet: Real life experiences that your audience can also relate to. Once you go through something good or bad music makes everything better so I feel like that’s what inspires me to write my music.
Question 11: What advice would you give a teen? (not relating to music?)
Janet: If you have an opportunity, make sure to go for it. If it doesn’t work out what can you lose? NOTHING! If it does work out, that’s amazing! Keep thriving.
