Sonyae elise biography of michael jackson
Sonyaé hopes to take over the music industry once and for all. With the nickname BLÚ, it’s hard to miss her bright blue hair and overall aesthetic, as she continues to perfect her craft and create bangers for her growing fanbase.
She explains, “Honestly, it calms me. When I put blue lights on, it calms me. Anything that’s going on, don’t matter the vibe, it’s just a sexy vibe. It gives a cool, sexy, laidback, chill vibe. I just love it. I love everything that’s blue: the sky, the ocean. I’m a summer baby, so all that stuff just coincides.”
Priding herself in her versatility, the rising star describes her sound as “soulful with a twist of rap, like trap rap.” Hailing from Newark, New Jersey, Sonyaé is proud to come from the same place as some of music’s greatest to ever do it, including Whitney Houston, Lauryn Hill, and Queen Latifah. Growing up in a musical household, she was always destined to come into her own as a recording artist… and now she’s not looking back.
Most recently, Sonyaé unleashed her newest single and visual for “Cameras Watchin,” produced by international DJ and producer Siobhan Bell. The song serves as a fun rendition of Britney Spears’ “Toxic,” boasting a nostalgic sample that immediately reels you in upon listening.
AllHipHop: Being from Newark, New Jersey, what was that like growing up?
Sonyaé: I’m from Essex County. Like 20 minutes from New York. Being from here is very crazy because I feel like the best female artists of all time… Whitney Houston, Lauryn Hill, and Queen Latifah are all from Jersey. That s###’s crazy. I’m very proud to be from there, just being an artist and having those types of people to look up to is like a secret weapon.
AllHipHop: When did you realize you could do music for a living?
Sonyaé: My dad sings but he’s a gangster. My mom sings and writes and pursued a career in music. Her and her friends are all artists. I was basically raised in the studio so it came with the territory. [laughs] I grew up ar
A few words about the movie at Sundance.
I decided to not even mention the movie by name, but I wanted to share a quick recap of a conversation I had with one of my daughters about the movie.
Clearly there is a minor buzz about the movie, and she asked my feelings about it. I gave it a few moments of thought, and said something along these lines:
I wasn't with Michael 24/7.
I have never claimed to be his best friend.
I did, however, know him pretty well.
I also had very unique access to his personal space - meaning I have literally pulled speaker wires under his bed. I have moved boxes in his closets to install amplifiers. I have been in his apartments and hotels, setting up dance floors and playback systems. I have set up his personal lounges in studios - and maintained them. I have seen his books and magazines. I have seen his video collection. I have been places - private places - that very few people have been allowed to enter. This was part of my job.
The same can be said of many celebrities and non-celebrities I have worked with. There is a trust that goes along with working so closely with them, in the most private parts of their home.
You overhear conversations and comments. You learn how to make the client feel completely comfortable around you. They need people around them to provide services (in my case, building music and video systems) without the sense of being "watched".
I have seen and heard things in OTHER homes that were - for lack of a better word - sad. But not in Michael's.
Nothing.
Honestly, nothing.
When I started doing seminars about my work and friendship with Michael, more than one person mentioned the accusations - and "what if..."
My response was, and continues to be, if there was even a hint of concern that Michael somehow harmed a child, I would not offer my seminars.
Michael was a very unique person. I didn't experience his childhood, but I did get a American singer (born 1987) Scotty Granger Musical artist Scotty Granger (born July 19, 1987) also known as Scotty Grand and Scotty G, is an American pop, R&B, contemporary music producer, singer and songwriter.
