Isaac: Who do you look up to for your own influences and why?

Glam Girl: There are so many people that I look up to. As for music producers, it’s Timbaland. As for the artists: Whitney Huston, when she was Whitney, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Sade and many more.

Isaac: Do you feel that Indie music gets the respect it deserves? Why or why not?

Glam Girl: The music biz has changed drastically and is still changing. If you just look at the past Grammy’s, unexpectedly The Suburbs won “Album of the year.” This would have never happened 10 years ago. So, yes, Indie music is starting to get respect, and it will gain more and more as the years will go by, till we get to the point that music will be only indie, existing labels will disappear, and the new labels will serve more as a helper to the artist rather than an owner of the artist. This new label will assist with marketing, bookings, networking and the other promotional aspects of the music business. But instead of owning all the rights to the artist, musicians will pay their labels for their help and the musicians will retain their rights.

Isaac: If you could change one thing about the music business, what would it be and why?

Glam Girl: The people that gravitate around it. The “why” will just open a Pandora’s box and we’ll be here talking for months, let’s just leave it as It is.

Isaac: What has been one of your biggest setbacks and how did you overcome it? What lesson did you learn about yourself?

Glam Girl: The biggest obstacle I constantly face is being taking seriously as a music producer. I’m an attractive girl and get some respect and props as a music producer, that’s the biggest challenge. What did I learn? Just believe in yourself and keep delivering high quality music that will shut everyone up.

Isaac: What type of feedbacks have you been receiving about your music from fans and music critics?

Glam Girl: So far very positive. Without the support of a major label behind me, in just a few months I have already accomplished big things. My single, “Make Me Famous,” is being played in constant rotation on radio stations in Sweden, UK, Netherlands, Australia, Italy and the U.S. In conjunction with the radio play, I’m opening for big acts like Bone Thugs N’ Harmony, Omarion, and Marques Huston.

At the 18th Billboard World Song Contest, even if I did not place in the top 3 in my category, the judges comment was, "Make Me Famous: Strong commercial pop appeal. Very original and creative." It also received great reviews on iTunes and YouTube.

Isaac: If you knew that you would never gain fame and fortune with what you are doing now, would you continue to make music? Explain.

Glam Girl: This is one of the reasons why the music industry is where it is right now. Unfortunately, these days everybody and their mama want to be singers or producers, so the market is over saturated. Most of the people in this industry are in it for the wrong reasons!

I can't deal with the greed! That's why I just do me, and stay true to myself and to my vision! Everyone claims to want to be famous but can't deal with PRESSURE, HARD WORK and MUCH MORE and got NOTHING to bring to the table ... ShowBiz ain't for everybody!!

Music is a part of me, is what I breath, is in my blood, is what I do 24/7. And it’s not for the fame and fortune, ‘cause, especially when you are an up and coming artist, it’s all struggle, no one is willing to give you a penny, no one will believe in you. And this is the real test for who is in it for the right reason.

It just really upsets me when I see a lot of singers or actors who have made it, and all they do with their success is just simply destroy themselves when there are tons of people that will kill just to have the chance to be where they are. That’s why I wrote “Make Me Famous.” I was just sick and tired of watching all those untalented people becoming famous overnight for no reason, like the Kardashian sisters, the Jersey Shore kids, Willo Smith. So I decided to write a song about it.

Isaac: How do you handle negative feedback or negative energy about your music?

Glam Girl: Not everyone is gonna like everyone, and everyone is entitled to an opinion. I'm human and humans are way too far from being perfect. Negative comments or feedback? It just depends from who they are coming from. If they come from someone that I look up to, and they know what they are talking about, I take them in serious consideration and use them as a constructive criticism to be better. If they come from someone that is just hating for the sake of it because they are miserable with their life, I don’t pay any attention.

And actually the more someone tells me I can’t the more I’m gonna prove that person wrong. Don’t forget that I live in one of toughest cities on the planet: Hollywood, The Land of "NO" & "YOU CAN'T.” Also I’ve been trained by rejection since I was a kid, ‘cause the first people who have been negative and been really hard of me were my parents. Life is 10% what it does to you and 90% how you respond to challenges. 

Isaac: What role do your family and friends play in the equation of your pursuant of a music career?

Glam Girl: I grew up in a family that didn’t nurture arts or sports, but I always was drawn to anything that involved music, dance, acting and sports. I never got any support from friends and family. When I was a little kid I wanted to be an actress, and I remember saying that to my parents, and my father said to me: “Who the f.....k you think you are, you are nothing.” Those words might have hurt at the time but those words are what fueled me all my life to prove to my lovely father that he was wrong.

The majority of my friends have not supportive either, because, according to them, making it in the music or entertainment business is almost impossible and blah blah blah. Most people DON'T SEE what you see for your life. Their mission will be to TALK you OUT of your Dreams and VISIONS. And If you don't move on your dreams, you gonna keep waking up everyday at 6 am working for SOMEONE ELSE WHO DID!!!

Isaac: What is the best site/s that you can be found on the Internet?

Isaac: The floor is yours; final words & wisdom of thoughts...

Glam Girl: An old Indian told his grandchildren, "In every human life is a terrible struggle. A battle between two wolves. One: fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment and betrayal. The second: Joy, LOVE, humility, trust, generosity, truth and compassion. "One of the children asked: "Grandfather, which wolf wins?" The old looked at him in the eye and replied: "The one you feed."
