*A conversation between Anna L. and Saf Tajik, a teen singer/musician.*
Question 1: When did you first start singing or playing a musical instrument?
Saf: I began playing music when I was 4 years old! My parents put me into piano lessons at the Brooklyn Academy of Music! I did not start singing till about 10 years later! And I started posting my singing videos only 1 year ago.
Question 2: What would you say drew you towards your love of music?
Saf: Both my parents loved music! They were constantly listening to music and my mom would always sing to me as a baby.
Question 3: What made you switch over to singing from piano?
Actually, I'm still doing both! But there was actually a song I was writing for piano Saf:
that I could not depict accurately, and I just began singing the words!
Question 4: Do you prefer writing your own music , or doing covers?
Saf: I love my original music! I feel like it’s the best thing there is! But I do covers to help build my fanbase and it’s been a great journey
Question 5: What would you say the style of your songs are?
Saf: I would say RNB pop... I would call myself a mix of Justin Bieber and Drake!
Question 6: Would you say that those are some artist that inspire you?
Saf: Justin Bieber, Drake, Zayn, Alex Aiono, Conor Maynard, and William Singe are my biggest inspirations. They have greatly influenced my style
Question 7: How does it make you feel when you play music?
Saf: I love it... There is no better feeling in the world.... It’s a vibe that I would not want to trade for anything
Question 8: What would you say your goal is on the musical career pathway?
Saf: I just want to be able to do what I love for life. And If I can make a good income off of doing what I love, that’s all I want!
Question 9: What qualities do you believe a musician should possess?
Saf: Thick skin and determination. Everyone and I mean everyone will try and tear you down in the music industry. From you best friend to your own mother! If you don't let these things get to you and you just go for your goals... You can’t be stopped!
Question 10: What is the best advice anyone has ever given you?
Saf: My manager told me this quote... I'm not sure who the original author of it was "You never have to get ready, if your stay ready"... It may not make sense to someone else but it’s a quote that really resonates with me!
Question 11:Who would you say helped you pursue your musical career?
