Check out my conversation with singer/songwriter STEMIN. We discuss his upbringing, living in multiple countries, his sexuality and much more. Growing up in a family where music was always at the center in different forms, he was introduced to music through his parents who introduced him in studying piano and saxophone. The study of an instrument as well as being always surrounded by tapes, CDs, and the attendance of concerts and festivals increased his interest for music. STEMIN also spent a lot of time in church, singing in the choir and playing piano. This environment became the platform where his music interest for gospel, spirituals and black music was shaped.
As he states: While growing up, music represented a hiding place, the place in which I could take shelter and find answers to my emotional side. What captured my attention in music was the sensibility of it and the way music connected to me personally and intimately. I am a very sensible and emotional individual who has been exposed to some difficult experiences as a kid, therefore music represented for me that world to which I could run to, a hiding place; a world where emotions were associated to different colors; a world where acceptance and understanding was ruling; an imaginary world that helped me overcome these dark moments. I remember listening a lot to Donny Hathaway and finding a connection with him in the way his sensibility was being portrayed through the music.’

Join my conversation with Nomi $hanya. She has been selected among more than 20 candidates on the « Warrior Of The Night » contest organized by Massence Music Group (Record Label in the Netherlands) for making an official Remix for the singer Chris Willis (David Guetta, Black Eyed Peace, Cedric Gervais). HerTrap / R&B version has made it through for the originality of her style. The song «Fallin’» is produced, written and performed by Nomi $hanya : «I’ve always been very philosophical. Thinking about what humanity is going through. This song is about that. I wrote it because I wanted to express my feelings. What is happening to this generation? To be more specific, this song is about Millennials and Gen Z. I’m worried about them, because they grew up with a lot of technology. Technology makes us smart, but is not necessarily healthy. So yes, we are smart people. But smart people are more likely to get expressed/unsatisfied». We need to learn how to really feel our emotions and be open for the world. Because we’re turning into motionless humans. Be WILLING to change and love every single moment of life. Even the negative. Embrace it, feel it and learn from it.
