INTERVIEW: MELODY SITS DOWN WITH US TO TALK ABOUT HER NEW SONG AS WELL AS WHAT TERRIFIES HER CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW SINGLE, “DANCING WITH A STRANGER.” WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION BEHIND
THE SONG? _I was in a session with a team member, Juvon Taylor writing this song, and we wanted to have fun with it. At the moment, we were thinking Ariana grande, Seven rings — we wanted to
experiment and do something different along the lines of empowerment. For him, it was a breakup song, but my interpretation of the song was some personal things I had faced in the past. I
have always been big on empowerment. The song can be interpreted in many ways depending on who is listening to it and their experiences. But for me, it was not a breakup song._ I REALLY LIKE
THE VISUAL FOR “DANCING WITH A STRANGER.” IT’S VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAD FUN DOING IT. HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE VISION FOR THE VIDEO? _The last time I released a
music video was 16, me and Ardalan Fattahi I, the executive producer of the music video, were just casually speaking about our plans with this song. It was random, not anticipated. So, I
jokingly said, wouldn’t it be fun to do a music video for this release? That’s how it started, Aradalan was working with Brian Gregory (the director of the shoot), and we began exchanging
ideas back and forth in a month’s time frame. It was fun and nerve-racking simultaneously, but I had a great team behind me._ HOW DID YOU GET YOUR START IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY? _Despite my
experience with social anxiety, I have always loved music and singing. It has helped me express my emotions in ways that I would probably not be able to do so through social interactions.
Because of this, I have always had a keen eye out for music opportunities. I first started working with a producer when I was 16 through a mutual friend._ WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5
YEARS? _I see myself finally achieving the art of not caring what others think of me and being happy — this, for me, is my biggest goal and vision that I see myself achieving in the next
five years. Accomplishing this will help me pick all the missing puzzle pieces to my other goals and manifestations in life._ WHAT’S ONE ABOUT YOU THAT YOUR FANS WOULD FIND INTERESTING? _I
am terrified of sea creatures, anything underwater that I cannot see. I always fear that something might grab me while I am swimming._ HOW CAN PEOPLE REACH OUT TO YOU? www.melodyofficial.com
