Aysia BerLynn Interview

Juicy Peach: When did you fall in love with music

Aysia: I think I’ve been in love with music all my life. I can remember my mom listening to Anita Baker when I was little and I never imagined doing anything else besides music. There are a lot of people who want to be lawyers and doctors and I just always thought that I would be a singer or doing something with music.

Juicy Peach: When did you first decide to become an artist?

Aysia: I first decided to become an artist at the age of 13. My parents bought me a keyboard and I would sit and write songs about everything. I started performing and I was like this is what I want to do and I’m going to do it. I’ve been in 3 groups since I started and now I’m just on my own doing my own thing.

Juicy Peach: Why did the groups stop?

Aysia: I was in groups with rappers and we were young, there were so much things going on. That was the first group that I was in it was called “Elite”. Then I was in this large group of neo Soul artists and rappers. They were all older than me like 30’s and I moved away to college and I didn’t go back and I started working on my own stuff.

Juicy Peach: What is the most meaningful song that you’ve written?

Aysia: So far it would be “Anybody” from my mixtape because I thought about so many women/girls going through situations. It flowed right out of me, I didn’t even realize what I was writing at the time but after listening to it it gives me chills. So yeah that would be it.

Juicy Peach: How have you been getting your name out there to the public?

Aysia: At one point of time I was doing shows. I’m slacking on the shows but I put my music out on every website that I could find. Also word of mouth, I get my copies made and I hand them out. Im getting ready to go full forced, I’m about to get some posters down and go hard with my own street team and supporting myself. I don’t really have a lot of people to work with me but everything that I have done thus far has been on my own.

Juicy Peach: Who is your favorite singer?

Aysia: My favorite singer was Aaliyah, I just loved how she let it all out and kinda had a soft delivery but now my favorite singer is Jill Scott.

Juicy Peach: What is your ultimate goal for your music?

Aysia: I don’t just want people to know me as a singer I want them to know me for my lyrics. I want to write for people for the most part. I think everybody should know exactly who I am so they can hear what I’m saying that’s really important to me. Cause im not sitting up talking about some off the wall stuff everything that I feel is deep. I just want people to know how I am as a person and LISTEN TO THE LYRICS.

Juicy Peach: How many mixtapes have you delivered?

Aysia: This is my first mixtape.The very first cd that I put out last year had two songs on there those were kind of done on a limb I just wanted to get them out there but this is my first mixtape with 17 tracks on it all written by me.

Juicy Peach: If you could have a conversation with anybody dead or alive who would it be and why?

Aysia: I would like to have a conversation with Donny Hathaway because I listened to his music and it’s like so deep and I would like to know where he got the inspiration for his songs and I would like to know exactly why did he decide to kill himself because his music was so awesome. It seems like we always loose the people who thinks outside of the box in a whole different way.

Juicy Peach: Specifically what’s next for you?

Aysia: I really want to find some type of label that would be interested in my music I also want to go with some publishing companies because like I said previously I really want to write for people and that’s basically what I really want to do. So I’m going to go hard on that and try to find someone to support me for me and the music that I like to write. I don’t want to change I just want to be orginal. So that’s next on my list.
