Tatiana is the country girl that gone to NY to pursue a dream. And she has really found one. Recording her first album now she is ready to shine. The instinctive country sound with a blend of artsy jazz and smooth rockin pop. You can’t categorize it. But it’s damn good to listen to. Is she a country girl? Is she a metropolitan diva? Is she a nice chick with the beat? You’ll have to listen close and choose your own poison. I personally love it all. Which is why she is the first female artist we feature on our page. you can check out more of her music on www.myspace.com/tatianamorozmusic
Q: How's your holiday? Having a great New Year? Let's begin with letting everyone know a little bit about yourself.
It's so nice to be here, thanks for having me! I am having a fabulous new year so far. For the past few years, I've been working in NY, trying to formulate what my sound is going to be like, my plans for the future; it’s been a long road. I am really excited about my upcoming record, which I have been working on for over 2 years. When I started, I never thought it would take this long, but I know everything is coming out how it’s supposed to. By the end of it, I am finally letting go (sort of) and just letting it fall into place naturally. Don't get me wrong, it has been a stressful labor of love, and that push was necessary. Now that I am wrapping up though, it’s a great relief, but its also a little sad. It feels like I am coming full circle, and giving birth to a child that is way too big to carry alone. But I'll miss the little bugger when he's out in the world.
J: Well said Tatiana! Just let it flow!
Q: We know that your album will be out pretty soon. What's the album really about?
The record is about me, my experiences, and the way I deal with my issues. Sometimes it’s not exactly me that's singing the song, it’s a version of me going through something that morphs into art. Like a story about someone else, or what I imagine them to be like, but that has part of me in it too. It's a way to say things I can't say, or be things I can't be. But that truth is always there. Which is kind of what it’s all about anyway. It’s my attempt at creating a connection, an emotion or experience that people can relate to and get comfort from. It's my way of justifying any pain or misery I have to go through to make me who I am. Knowing that I can write something that will allow someone to realize they are not alone, I love that.
Q: Where did you get all the inspiration to write all the great music? Did you write all of them yourself? Who did you collaborate when you write your music?
It was inspired by my own love experiences, but also life experiences. Yeah, some songs are about a guy, but a lot are about being my own cheerleader and motivating myself and the listener. Like, "Don't Stop Believing" is a pretty obvious message ; ) or "Won't Let Me Down" is about me relying on myself to lift me up. "They'll Never Change" is a reminder that despite those expectations you may think someone should live up to, it just doesn't always work out like that. Getting upset about it every time is pointless, so it’s a reminder that there are certain things I have no control over. I could go on, but I want people to have their own interpretation too. It's not up to me to tell them what each song means ; )
I wrote all but one of the songs by myself. I did have a couple co-producers like Chris Conway and Ari Raskin, but for most of the songs, they were my productions as well.
Q: Who is the one person that's most influential in your life?
I have a teacher (music and otherwise), who, before I even met him, had been sculpting my songwriting for years. He is my guru, and I will do whatever he suggests or instructs me to do without hesitation, or at least give it serious consideration. I have been blessed to have his influence in person for about a year now, and it has kept me sane and on track and I am very grateful for that.
Q: Any artist in particular that you are interested in doing collaboration?
If I could work with anyone, it would be Ryan Adams. I met him once, and he listened to a bunch of my songs and really liked them. He talked to me about songwriting like we were equals, not talking down to me like some underling. It was an incredible feeling. It gave me a sense of validation, like if he liked it, I shouldn't give up cause I think he's one of the best songwriters of my generation hands down. It was one of the most flatteringly great compliments of my career. If I could write a song w him, or do a duet, not much could top that!
Q: What makes you choose a music career over other work?
Insanity.
Q: You’ve been to quite a few place and coming from Berklee it must be a fantastic musical experience. Tell us some of the most amazing journey you have while you are abroad?
All my stories from abroad are too wild for print...from the states for that matter too! hehehe I dunno! It was fun, I was probably drunk for most of the amazing stuff....
Q: Which one you prefer more, performing live or writing music in your own space?
There's something to be said for both experiences. Ideally, what my goal is now that the record is done is to integrate the experience of playing in my apt and playing on the stage. I want it to be as intimate and comfortable on stage as when I sing at home. Writing does have its reward... like if I write something I think is particularly clever, heart wrenching, or that gets to the heart of the matter eloquently and precisely, I love that feeling. It's a different release- once again- a justification for any wrongs.
Q: How would you describe your sound?
I have no idea and have been polling people for years to figure this out. NY Country Rock? I dunno.... its a blend of jazz, blues, pop, rock, folk etc.
Q: As a song writer you must played some instruments. How long have you been playing them? Is it hard?
I play the guitar, I'm OK- I mean, my rhythm is pretty good, but I am sick of my own playing. I do it really for writing purposes. I am starting guitar lessons in a few weeks to improve and go further with it. I would like to do the same for piano, but finding the time is really difficult.
Q: Now, the most important question of them all…. Guys listen. Are you single? What kind of quality you look for in a guy? HAHA!
Obedience. HA.. Jk. I want someone to be passionate. Not crazy, the guy has to be a little more stable than me. I would like him to be supportive of what I do but have his own thing going on. Someone who gives a shit about things, and maybe wants to save the world at least a little. Someone who reads, follows politics somewhat, has a good sense of humor, is kind, compassionate, and of course really friggin hot. I mean- I like dorky hot, so don't think I want some muscle man w gel in his spiky hair. Oh and someone w integrity, character, and loyalty.
Q: Last but not least. Is there anything that you'd like to tell all the readers?
Happy new year!
J: Yeah!! And Happy New Year to you all too. Have a fantastic 2009 Everyone!
